Our History
Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, we have grown substantially since our inception in 1995. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., or Patriot, was formed on April 17, 1995 as a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, to acquire equity interests in hotel properties. On October 2, 1995, Patriot completed an initial public offering of its common stock and commenced its operations.
On July 1, 1997, Patriot merged into California Jockey Club, or Cal Jockey. As part of this merger, Cal Jockey and Bay Meadows Operating Company, or Bay Meadows, entered into a paired share arrangement under which both of their common stocks were paired and traded together. Also, Cal Jockey changed its name to Patriot, and Bay Meadows changed its name to Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company.
In January 1998, Wyndham Hotel Corporation merged into Patriot and, as part of that merger, Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company changed its name to Wyndham International, Inc. We will refer to Wyndham International, Inc. as it existed before June 30, 1999 as old Wyndham.
During 1998, Patriot and old Wyndham grew primarily by acquiring hotels and other related businesses. They financed these acquisitions with funds drawn on their revolving credit facilities and capital raised by issuing paired shares and by having their two operating partnerships issue limited partnership interests.
On June 30, 1999, we restructured our organization. As part of this restructuring:
| Patriot became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours; |
| we and Patriot terminated the paired share arrangement; |
| each outstanding paired share was converted into one share of our class A common stock; and |
| Patriot terminated its status as a REIT effective January 1, 1999 and became a taxable corporation as of that date. |
Also on June 30, 1999, we completed a $1 billion series B preferred stock equity investment, closed a new credit facility (comprised of a senior credit facility and an increasing rate loan facility), which has since been amended and restated, and closed on additional mortgage debt. Holders of our series B preferred stock are entitled to a quarterly dividend on a cumulative basis at a rate of 9.75% per year of which a portion is payable in additional shares of our series B preferred stock. Our series B preferred stock is convertible, at the holders option, into shares of our class B common stock. Also in 1999, we completed a rights offering of our series A preferred stock, which, except for voting rights, has substantially similar terms to our series B preferred stock. We used the proceeds of our series A preferred stock offering to redeem some of our series B preferred stock.
Our credit facility prohibits us from paying the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend until expiration or further amendment of our credit facility. Under the terms of our preferred stock, if cash dividends are in arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, an additional amount of dividends accrue at a rate per annum of 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, we had issued additional stock dividends of 637,652 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $63.8 million because cash dividends totaling $73.1 million on the preferred stock had been in arrears and unpaid for a period of more than 60 days.
Over the past several years we have sold, and we currently intend to continue to sell, all of our non-strategic, non-convertible assets. These are properties that do not fit our proprietary brand profile because of the quality of the asset or the fact that it is encumbered by a long-term licensing agreement with a non-Wyndham brand. By disposing of these assets, we will be able to focus solely on being a branded operating company, as well as reducing our debt with the majority of the net proceeds from these asset sales. Since implementing this plan in
2
June of 1999, we have sold 129 assets with gross proceeds of approximately $1.85 billion. As of December 31, 2003, we have 24 non-strategic assets remaining to be sold. These assets will be held until such time as the sales price meets or exceeds managements assessment of their fair value.
In 2001, we sold or exchanged the following assets:
| two hotels and a sewer company, in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $8.6 million, after we repaid approximately $21.8 million of debt; |
| one hotel in which we retained a preferred equity interest for net cash proceeds of approximately $19.7 million; |
| three hotels and investments in four additional hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $58.7 million; and |
| six hotels, which were exchanged for one hotel. |
In 2002, we sold the following assets:
| seven hotels and an investment in a restaurant venture, in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $60.1 million, after we repaid approximately $65.7 million of debt. Also, $38.7 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets was used by us to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility; and |
| thirteen hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $202.5 million, after we repaid approximately $224.1 million of debt and placed $36.1 million in escrow under the terms of our senior credit facility for application by us in the future to make payments on existing mortgage indebtedness. Also, $127.6 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets was used by us to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility. As of December 31, 2003, $10.3 million of the $36.1 million has been applied in payment of existing mortgage indebtedness. |
In 2003, we sold or terminated leases for the following assets:
| eighteen hotels, two parcels of undeveloped land and a golf venture in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $107.4 million, after the repayment of mortgage debt of approximately $114.9 million. Also, $68.3 million of the net cash proceeds was used by us to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility, and we retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities; and |
| Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT) terminated leases on 27 hotel properties (15 Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels) operated by two of our subsidiaries. HPT rebranded 14 Summerfield Suites by Wyndham to a third-party brand on October 6, 2003, and one property remains a Summerfield Suite pursuant to a franchise agreement with HPT. Under a final settlement agreement, the 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels will be rebranded to a third-party brand by the end of 2004. On an annualized basis, based upon projections for the calendar year 2003, the estimated positive impact on cash flow of the lease terminations to our subsidiaries is $14.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the terminations resulted in a non-cash write-off of approximately $153.9 million for the leases remaining book value. |
During 2004 to date, we have sold our investments in nine hotel entities in three separate transactions for net cash proceeds of $45.6 million after payment of $96.5 million of mortgage debt. We used $34.8 million of the net cash proceeds to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.
In March 2004, the leases on six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties were terminated and the properties were converted to long-term franchises. Assets of approximately $22 million, which represented the leases remaining book value, were considered impaired and written-off as of December 31, 2003.

General Description of Our Business
We classify our business into two groups: (1) proprietary branded hotels and (2) non-proprietary branded hotels. Our proprietary branded hotels are Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®, Wyndham Luxury Resorts®, Wyndham Garden Hotels®, and Summerfield Suites by Wyndham consisting of 152 owned, leased, managed, or franchised hotels with over 40,200 guest rooms as of December 31, 2003. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts® is our principal proprietary branded group of assets. Through both our Wyndham Hotels & Resorts® brand and our Wyndham Garden Hotels® brand, we offer upper upscale, full-service accommodations to business and leisure travelers. Through our Wyndham Luxury Resorts brand, we offer luxury accommodations, such as the Boulders and Carmel Valley Ranch. Through our Summerfield Suites by Wyndham brand, we offer upper upscale, all-suite accommodations to business and leisure travelers.
Our primary growth strategy for our proprietary brand has been to expand through new management and franchise contracts, rebrand our convertible nonproprietary hotels to the Wyndham flag, operate efficiently through revenue generation and cost containment programs and build the brand through innovative programs.
Our non-proprietary branded hotels consist of 38 owned, managed or franchised hotels with over 10,700 guest rooms as of December 31, 2003. The majority of these hotels are operated under franchise or brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel companies, including Crowne Plaza®, Hilton®, Hyatt®, Radisson®, Holiday Inn®, Doubletree®, Ramada®, and Marriott®. We manage all but 16 of these hotels. Our non-proprietary branded hotels are operated primarily by Performance Hospitality Management, or PHM, one of our management divisions. In addition to our owned assets, PHM manages one non-proprietary branded hotel for a third party. We intend to continue to selectively dispose of our non-proprietary branded hotels through asset sales and exchanges to create a source of capital for us to (1) repay debt and (2) continue expanding the Wyndham proprietary brand.
Please see Results of Reporting Segments under Item 7 of this Form 10-K and Note 13 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements for information about our business segments.
Our Business Strengths
| Strong Brand Name. Our proprietary brands all have at least a 19-year history and our Wyndham brand is highly recognized in our industry. Our Wyndham brand, including Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, serves to identify high quality assets with a consistent and high level of customer service and reliability. |
| Geographically Diverse Portfolio. To help mitigate the effects of regional downturns in the hotel industry, we have assembled a geographically diverse portfolio of hotels and resorts. |
| Control over Property Execution. We own or operate approximately 60% of our proprietary branded portfolio. As a result, we can more efficiently and effectively implement brand-enhancing programs, such as the Wyndham Brand Standards, the program we implemented in 2000 to standardize the stay experience in all of our hotels, and Wyndham ByRequest®, our innovative guest recognition program which builds brand loyalty by allowing our guests to customize their stay. We were able to implement both of these programs in our proprietary branded properties in less than one year. In addition, through economies of scale, we benefit from greater purchasing and negotiating power when addressing company-wide marketing, insurance, and other hotel services. Furthermore, in markets where we have multiple hotels, we are able to create more consistent operating performance and reduce costs by combining certain operating functions. |
| Personalized Guest Experience. Through our innovative brand-enhancing program, Wyndham ByRequest®, we are able to provide each ByRequest member a personalized stay experience. Based on the members personal ByRequest profile, we arrange their guest room amenities before check-in. In addition, Wyndham ByRequest® allows us to customize on-going communications with members and tailor future travel benefits to our members ByRequest profile. The number of active members has tripled since the introduction of the Free Long Distance Phone Call Program on June 1, 2002. At December 31, 2003, the program had over 1.7 million members. |
4
| Captured Market Share. We have continued to capture market share versus our competitors since our June 30, 1999 reorganization with programs such as our Women on Their Way, which is designed to serve the needs of the female traveler. Our Women on Their Way program and our on-going commitment to diversity have enabled us to capture a substantial share of the emerging market segment of the young, female business traveler, the fastest growing segment of all business travelers. |
Our Business Strategy
Since our June 30, 1999 reorganization, we have been focused on increasing our proprietary branded assets by obtaining new management and franchise contracts and rebranding our non-strategic assets. We have been building our brand by growing our management and franchise business and implementing innovative programs. Additionally, we have created brand operating efficiencies with revenue generation and cost containment programs.
| Dispose of non-strategic assets. Over the past several years we have sold, and we currently intend to continue to sell, all of our non-strategic, non-convertible assets. These are properties that do not fit our proprietary brand profile because of the quality of the asset or the fact that it is encumbered by a long-term licensing agreement with a non-Wyndham brand. By disposing of these assets, we will be able to focus solely on being a branded operating company, as well as reduce our debt with the net proceeds from these asset sales. Since implementing this plan in June of 1999, we have sold 129 assets with gross proceeds of approximately $1.85 billion. As of December 31, 2003, we have 24 non-strategic assets remaining to be sold. These assets will be held until such time as the sales price meets or exceeds managements assessment of fair value. |
| Rebrand existing hotels. Where opportunities exist, we continue to rebrand eligible non-proprietary assets that fit our Wyndham brand. Rebranded properties benefit from our global distribution system and our brand defining programs. By rebranding these hotels, we benefit by increasing the geographical distribution of our Wyndham properties, which enables us to offer our guests a consistent Wyndham experience in more locations. We also benefit by eliminating the need to pay franchise and related fees to our competitors. Since 1999, we have converted 20 assets from other brands to the Wyndham brand. We also have converted 12 Wyndham Garden hotels to full Wyndham Hotels. |
| Grow our management and franchise business. We have and will continue to focus our growth efforts in the area of new management and franchise contracts. This growth will enable us to expand our brand distribution and increase our revenues through the fee income associated with these contracts. We currently have 27 management contracts, 53 franchise agreements and 7 hotels under a strategic alliance. We are aggressively pursuing new management and franchise opportunities and will continue to geographically target major metropolitan areas and resort destinations. We have extensive experience in the lodging industry and we believe our industry knowledge, relationships and access to market information provide us a competitive edge with respect to identifying, evaluating and signing new hotel assets to the Wyndham brand. |
| Build the Wyndham brand. We continue to support and implement programs to build the Wyndham brand. |
| Our innovative guest recognition program, Wyndham ByRequest®, allows our guests to personalize their stay at any of our branded properties. We customize on-going communication and future travel benefits to our members profiles, which we believe builds loyalty to the Wyndham brand. |
| Our Women on Their Way program has been successful in capturing substantial market share in the emerging market segment of the young, female business traveler and has helped create an advantage in attracting more guests to our hotels. |
| We have implemented consistent brand standards in our Wyndham branded assets by including Room That Perform amentities such as high-end mattresses dressed in luxurious duvets/coverlets, decorative pillow shams and bedskirts; Herman Miller Aeron chairs; and Golden Door Amenities in our rooms. This helps ensure a consistent stay experience in all Wyndham branded properties. |
5
| Operate efficiently. From a revenue generation standpoint, we have continued to streamline our sales and booking efforts. After our June 30, 1999 reorganization, we brought all of our branded assets under one global distribution code WY. This has enabled our central reservations office to efficiently cross- sell our properties and, thus, achieve a greater maximization of revenues. Beginning with our June 30, 1999 reorganization and continuing throughout 2003, we have continued our cost containment programs. The programs include, among other things, a permanent reduction in our workforce at both our corporate office and our properties; a temporary furloughing of employees at our properties; reduced restaurant hours and closed floors and wings of hotels commensurate with occupancy levels; and the renegotiation of service agreements and trade contracts. |

Franchise and Brand Affiliations
As of December 31, 2003, all but three of our owned hotels are operated under franchise or brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel companies. Franchisors and brand operators provide a variety of benefits for our hotels, including national advertising, publicity and other marketing programs designed to increase brand awareness, training of personnel, continuous review of quality standards and centralized reservation systems. We generally are the licensee under the franchise agreements related to such hotels. Under these franchise agreements, franchise royalties and fees generally range up to approximately 10% of room revenue. The duration of these franchise agreements vary, but generally may be terminated upon prior notice or upon payment of certain specified fees.
Management of Hotels
As of December 31, 2003, we managed 27 hotels for third party owners pursuant to management agreements under which we are responsible for the day-to-day operations of these hotels. Of these managed hotels, we managed 24 hotels under our proprietary brands and three hotels under non-proprietary brands. The day-to-day operations of these hotels include managing hotel accommodations, meeting rooms and food and beverage services as well as hiring and training staff, planning and providing sales and marketing services,
10
purchasing operating supplies, inventories and furniture, fixtures and equipment, providing routine repairs and maintenance, and performing hotel accounting functions, including the preparation of monthly financial statements. Management fees generally range up to approximately 5% of total revenue per managed hotel. The terms of the management agreements vary from hotel to hotel, but range from 1 to 20 years. As of December 31, 2003, the average remaining term for the management agreements was approximately 6.2 years.
Strategic Alliance
On December 1, 2003, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Viva Resorts. Under the 10-year agreement, seven Viva properties located in the Bahamas, Mexico and the Dominican Republic were re-branded to Viva Wyndham Resorts and incorporated into the Wyndham portfolio. Viva Wyndham Caribbean properties include the 276-room Viva Wyndham Fortuna BeachGrand Bahama Island, The Bahamas; the 330-room Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach La Romana, Dominican Republic; the 330-room Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace La Romana, Dominican Republic; and the 223-room Viva Wyndham TangerineCabarete, Dominican Republic. The Viva Wyndham Mexican properties include the 400-room Viva Wyndham MayaPlayacar, Mexico; the 234-room Viva Wyndham AztecaPlayacar, Mexico; and the 355-room Viva Wyndham VallartaVallarta, Mexico. The new Viva Wyndham properties incorporate Wyndham brand standards and our guest recognition program, Wyndham ByRequest®.
Employees
As of December 31, 2003, we employed approximately 22,000 employees. In our opinion, we a have good relationship with our employees and we retain appropriate support personnel to manage our operations.
Certain Risk Factors
An investment in our class A common stock is subject to the significant risks inherent in our business. Readers should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the events described below could affect our business or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us.
General Business Risks
We may fail to compete effectively and lose business. The profitability of our hotels is subject to general economic conditions, competition, the desirability of particular locations, the relationship between supply of and demand for hotel rooms, and other factors. We generally operate in markets that contain numerous competitors and our continued success will depend, in large part, upon our ability to compete in areas such as access, location, quality of accommodations, amenities, specialized services, cost containment, and, to a lesser extent, the quality and scope of food and beverage services and facilities. Our operational and growth prospects also depend on the strength and desirability of our brands and our ability to maintain positive relations with our employees.
Changes in supply and demand, and other conditions, in our industry may adversely affect our revenues and profits. Our revenues and profitability may be adversely affected by (1) supply additions, (2) international, national and regional economic conditions, (3) changes in travel patterns, (4) taxes and government regulations that influence or determine wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs, and (5) the availability of capital to allow us and potential hotel owners to fund investments. In particular, over-building in one or more sectors of our industry and/or in one or more geographic regions could lead to excess supply compared to demand and a decrease in hotel occupancy and/or room rates.
A sluggish economy may continue to adversely impact our financial results and growth. A sluggish economy, lack of consumer confidence in the stock market and other national and world events, including acts of
11
terrorism and/or war, have created a significant amount of uncertainty about future prospects of national and world economies. The overall long-term effect on us and the lodging industry is also uncertain. In the face of such uncertainty, we developed and implemented a contingency plan focused particularly on cost management. We cannot predict either the severity or duration of such economic declines, but weaker hotel performance will, in turn, have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Industry Risks
Our business is subject to operating risks common to the hotel industry. Our primary business is owning and managing hotels. This business is subject to operating risks common to the hotel industry, including:
| competition for guests from other hotels, a number of which may have greater marketing and financial resources and experience than us and our hotel management companies; |
| increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased room rates; |
| dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism, which may fluctuate and be seasonal; |
| increases in energy costs and other travel expenses, which may deter travelers; and |
| adverse effects of general and local economic conditions. |
These factors could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues, our financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to obtain or transfer necessary operating licenses in hotel acquisitions. When we acquire hotels or hotel operating companies, we may be unable to transfer certain operating licenses or obtain new licenses in a timely manner, such as food and beverage licenses. Although hotels can sell alcoholic beverages under interim licenses or licenses obtained before we acquire them, there can be no assurance that these licenses will remain in effect until we (or the hotel management companies) obtain new licenses. If a hotel fails to have a food and beverage license or other operating licenses, this failure would adversely affect the hotels ability to generate revenues and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Consumers could develop brand loyalties to Internet based hotel reservation systems rather than to our lodging brands. A percentage of our hotel rooms are booked through Internet travel intermediaries such as Expedia.com, Hotel.com, Travelocity.com, Hotwire.com, Priceline.com and Click-It weekends. As this percentage increases, these intermediaries may be able to obtain higher commissions, reduced room rates or other significant contract concessions from us. Moreover, some of these Internet travel intermediaries are attempting to commoditize hotel rooms by increasing the importance of price and general indicators of quality at the expense of brand identification. These agencies hope that consumers will eventually develop brand loyalties to their reservation systems rather than to lodging brands. If this occurs, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Unexpected hotel renovation costs and capital expenditures could adversely affect our business. In general, hotels have an ongoing need for renovations and other capital improvements, particularly in older structures, including periodically replacing or refurbishing furniture, fixtures and equipment. Under the terms of our leases with third parties and mortgages on owned hotels, we must establish a reserve to pay for certain capital expenditures and for periodically replacing or refurbishing furniture, fixtures and equipment. If capital expenditures exceed our expectations, this excess would have an adverse effect on our available cash. In addition, we may acquire hotels that require significant renovation. When we renovate hotels, we incur risks, including the risk of environmental problems, construction cost overruns and delays, uncertainties as to market demand after we renovate, market demand deterioration after we begin renovating, and unanticipated competition emerging from other hotels.
12
We face significant competition for hotel acquisition opportunities. We may be competing for hotel acquisition opportunities with entities that have substantially greater financial resources. These entities may generally be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks of a hotel operators creditworthiness or a target hotels geographic location. Competition may generally reduce the number of hotel acquisition opportunities that we believe are suitable, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.
Seasonality of the hotel industry could make it difficult to predict the revenues of our various properties. The hotel industry is seasonal in nature; however, the periods during which our hotel properties experience higher revenues vary from property to property and depend predominantly on the propertys location. Our revenues typically have been higher in the first and second quarters than in the third and fourth quarters.
Real Estate Risks
Changes in the real estate sector could adversely affect our operations. Our ability to generate revenues from our hotels may be adversely affected by risks common to the ownership, leasing or operation of real property, including:
| changes in national and international economic conditions; |
| changes in local market conditions due to changes in general or local economic conditions and neighborhood characteristics; |
| changes in interest rates; |
| changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage financing; |
| the impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws; |
| the ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older structures; |
| changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses; |
| adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies; |
| adverse changes in zoning laws; |
| civil unrest or war; |
| the impact of terrorist activity, threats of terrorist activity and responses thereto; |
| acts of God, including earthquakes and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured losses); and |
| other factors that are beyond our control. |
We may be unable to sell properties when we want to because real estate investments are illiquid. Real estate is a relatively illiquid asset. Therefore, our ability to respond to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited. If we must sell a property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to dispose of it in the time period we desire or that the sales price of any property will equal or exceed the amount of our initial investment in the property.
We would be adversely affected if our property taxes increase. Our properties are subject to real property taxes. The real property taxes on our properties may increase or decrease as property tax rates change and as the value of the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Increases in property taxes may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to obtain consents of ground lessors required for the sale of certain hotels. Some of our properties are subject to ground leases with third party lessors. In addition, we may acquire properties in the
13
future that are subject to ground leases. If we wish to sell a property that is subject to a ground lease or wish to assign our leasehold interest in the ground lease, we may need the consent of third party lessors.
Environmental problems are possible and can be costly. Our operating costs may be affected by the cost of complying with existing and future environmental laws, ordinances and regulations. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be liable for the costs of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in real property currently or previously owned or operated by us. These laws often impose liability whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, our ability to borrow by using real property as collateral may be adversely affected by the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remediate the property properly. By arranging for the transportation, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances, we may also be liable for the costs of removing or remediating these substances at the disposal or treatment facility, even if we never owned or operated the disposal or treatment facility. We could be held liable under environmental laws used to impose liability for releases of hazardous materials, including asbestos-containing materials, into the environment. Third parties may seek recovery from us for personal injuries associated with exposure to hazardous materials on real property owned or operated by us. Environmental laws may also impose restrictions on the manner in which we may use or transfer a property or in which we operate our business on a property. In connection with our hotels, we may be potentially liable for any environmental costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability or remediating contaminated property and the cost of complying with environmental laws could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, there may be material environmental liabilities or compliance concerns of which we are currently unaware.
Some potential losses are not covered by insurance. We maintain insurance coverage on all of our hotels. Each of our leases with third parties and mortgages on owned hotels requires comprehensive insurance to be maintained on each of the applicable hotels, including liability, fire and extended coverage. We believe this specified coverage is of the type and amount customarily obtained for hotels. Leases or mortgages for subsequently acquired hotels will contain similar provisions. However, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature caused by events such as earthquakes, floods, terrorism or war that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. We use our discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a view to maintaining appropriate insurance coverage on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This may result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of the lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it impractical to use insurance proceeds to replace the property after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under these circumstances, the insurance proceeds received might not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to the damaged property.
Hotels that we acquire or develop may fail to perform according to our expectations. Under appropriate circumstances, we may pursue acquisitions of additional hotels and hotel operating companies and may pursue development opportunities. Acquisitions entail risks that the acquired hotels or hotel operating companies will fail to perform according to our expectations or that our cost estimates to acquire, operate and market the acquired properties will prove inaccurate. In addition, hotel development is subject to other risks, including risks of construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as receiving zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and incurring development costs for projects that are not pursued to completion.
Third party owners may terminate our management contracts. We manage hotels for third party owners pursuant to management contracts. These contracts may be acquired, terminated, renegotiated or converted to franchise agreements in the ordinary course of our business. In addition, the hotel property owner may terminate these management contracts if we fail to meet certain performance standards, if the property is sold to a third party, if the owner defaults on indebtedness encumbering the property, upon a foreclosure of the property, upon the closing of the property or upon certain business combinations involving us in which our name or current management team does not survive.
14
There can be no assurance that we will be able to replace terminated management contracts, or that the terms of renegotiated or converted contracts will be as favorable as the terms that existed before such renegotiations or conversion. We also will be subject to the risk that a hotel property owner will be unable to pay management fees to us. In addition, in certain circumstances, we may be required to make loans to or capital investments in hotel properties in connection with management contracts. If any of these hotel properties suffers poor operating results or if we lose our management contract, we may not recover our loan or capital investment.
We could lose the right to operate hotels under franchise or brand affiliations. We operate some of our hotels under franchise or brand affiliations. In addition, we may acquire hotels in the future that are operated under franchise or brand affiliations. Each franchised hotel must meet specified operating standards and other terms and conditions to continue its franchise license. The continued use of a brand generally depends upon the continuation of the management agreement related to that hotel with the hotels management entity. Franchisors typically inspect licensed properties periodically to confirm adherence to operating standards. Actions by us, our affiliates or the hotel management entities could cause a breach of these standards or other terms and conditions of a franchise license or the loss or cancellation of a franchise license. It is possible that a franchisor could condition the continuation of a franchise license on the completion of capital improvements that we determine are too expensive or otherwise unwarranted in light of general economic conditions or the operating results or prospects of the affected hotel. In that event, we may elect to allow the franchise license to lapse, which could result in our incurring significant termination costs. If a franchise or brand affiliation is terminated for any reason, we may try to obtain a suitable replacement franchise or brand affiliation, or to operate the hotel independent of a franchise or brand affiliation. If we lose a franchise or brand affiliation, we will lose the associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor or brand owner. This loss could adversely affect the value of the hotel and our results of operations.
Risks Relating to Gaming Operations
Our gaming operations depend on decisions by gaming authorities. We own and operate casino gaming facilities at some of our hotels, including El San Juan, El Conquistador and Condado Plaza in Puerto Rico. Each of these gaming operations is subject to extensive licensing, permitting and regulatory requirements administered by various governmental entities.
Typically, gaming regulatory authorities have broad powers related to the gaming operations licenses. They may revoke, suspend, condition or limit our gaming approvals and licenses, impose substantial fines and take other actions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our hotel/casinos. Our directors, officers and some key employees are subject to licensing or suitability determinations by various gaming authorities. If any of those gaming authorities were to find someone unsuitable, we would have to sever our relationship with that person.
Volatility in the high-end gaming business could adversely impact our financial condition. The high-end gaming business is more volatile than other forms of gaming. Fluctuations in customers high-end gaming activities could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a significant portion of our table gaming is attributable to a relatively small number of international customers. If the most significant of these customers reduces or quits his or her gaming, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness
We are substantially leveraged and have debt payments of approximately $292.7 million due in 2004. Of that amount, we can elect to extend $214.5 million for two additional twelve month periods, and an additional $19 million of debt has been provided for in a restricted cash account. We are seeking to refinance the remaining scheduled principal payments and debt prior to their maturities in 2004. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.
15
As of December 31, 2003, we had $2.68 billion of total indebtedness; comprised of (i) $164.1 million of revolving credit availability under our revolving credit facility, (ii) $1.05 billion of term loans I, (iii) $343.3 million of term loans II, (iv) $15.1 million of increasing rate loans, (v) $1.07 billion of mortgage debt, and (vi) $36.9 million of capital lease obligations. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future, subject to certain limitations contained in the instruments and documents governing our indebtedness. Accordingly, we have significant debt service obligations.
Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences to stockholders including the following: (i) our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, future acquisitions (if any) and general corporate or other purposes may be impaired, or any such financing may not be on terms favorable to us; (ii) a substantial portion of our cash flow available from operations and investments after satisfying certain liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds that would otherwise be available to us; (iii) a substantial decrease in net operating cash flow or an increase in our expenses could make it difficult for us to meet our debt service requirements or force us to modify our operations; (iv) high leverage may place us at a competitive disadvantage and may make us vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy generally; and (v) because a portion of our borrowings may be at variable rates of interest, we may be exposed to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2003, $2.5 billion of our indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, or to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend on our future performance, which to a certain extent will be subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Despite our successful efforts to amend our credit facilities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet our debt service obligations and, to the extent that we cannot, we may lose some or all of our assets, including hotel properties. Continuing adverse economic conditions could cause the terms on which we borrow to worsen. Those circumstances, if we are in need of funds to repay indebtedness, could force us to liquidate one or more investments in properties at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on those investments. The foregoing risks associated with our debt obligations may inhibit our ability to raise capital in both the public and private markets and may have a negative impact on our credit rating.
Risks Relating to Dilution of Our Common Stock
The series A and series B preferred stock are ultimately convertible, at the holders option, into a number of shares of Wyndham class A common stock equal to $100.00 divided by the conversion price, initially equal to $8.59 but subject to potential downward adjustments.
Our credit facility, as amended, prohibits us from paying the cash portion of the preferred dividend until expiration or further amendment of our credit facility. Under the terms of our preferred stock, if cash dividends are in arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, then an additional amount of dividends accrue at a rate per annum of 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, we had issued an additional stock dividend of 637,652 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $63.8 million because cash dividends totaling $73.1 million on the preferred stock had been in arrears and unpaid for a period of more than 60 days. As of December 31, 2003, the series A and series B preferred stock on an as converted basis would equate to 167.9 million shares of class A common stock using an $8.59 conversion price. The non-payment of the cash portion of the series A and series B preferred stock dividend is dilutive to the current holders of class A common stock. There can be no assurance that additional shares of series A and series B preferred stock will not be issued in the future.

On May 7, 1999, Doris Johnson and Charles Dougherty filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California against Patriot, Wyndham, their respective operating partnerships and PaineWebber Group, Inc. This action, Johnson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2153, was commenced on behalf of all former holders of Bay Meadows stock during a class period from June 2, 1997 to the date of filing. The action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that the purported class members were wrongfully induced to tender their shares as part of the Patriot/Bay Meadows merger based on a fraudulent prospectus. The action seeks unspecified damages and further alleges that defendants continued to defraud shareholders about their intentions to acquire numerous hotels and saddle the company with massive debt during the class period. Three other actions against the same defendants subsequently were filed in the Northern District of California: (i) Ansell v. Patriot American
18
Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2239 (filed May 14, 1999), (ii) Sola v. PaineWebber Group, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2770 (filed June 11, 1999), and (iii) Gunderson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C 99-3040 (filed June 23, 1999). Another action with substantially identical allegations, Susnow v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1354-T (filed June 15, 1999) also subsequently was filed in the Northern District of Texas. By order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions along with certain actions identified below have been consolidated in the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 13, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the court granted in part and denied in part Defendants motion to dismiss. The Court did not dismiss certain of Plaintiffs claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An answer to the complaint has been filed. No discovery has been taken yet and the Court has not yet certified a class. We intend to defend the suits vigorously. These suits may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to us.
On or about June 22, 1999, a lawsuit captioned Levitch v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1416-D, was filed in the Northern District of Texas against Patriot, Wyndham, James D. Carreker and Paul A. Nussbaum. This action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that, during the period from January 5, 1998 to December 17, 1998, the defendants defrauded shareholders by issuing false statements about the company. The complaint sought unspecified damages and was filed on behalf of all shareholders who purchased Patriot American and Wyndham stock during that period. Three other actions, Gallagher v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1429-L, filed on June 23, 1999, David Lee Meisenburg, et al. v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., Wyndham International, Inc., James D. Carreker, and Paul A. Nussbaum Case No. 3-99-CV1686-X, filed July 27, 1999 and Deborah Szekely v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1866-D, filed on or about August 27, 1999, allege substantially the same allegations. By orders of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions have been consolidated with certain other shareholder actions and transferred to the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 20, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the court dismissed in its entirety the complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to amend. On or about December 2, 2002, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. No discovery has been taken yet and the Court has not yet certified a class. We have entered into a memorandum of understanding with class counsel to settle the litigation. The memorandum of understanding is subject to definitive documentation and court approval. Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding, we shall pay $2.5 million in cash when an order is entered by the court preliminarily approving the proposed settlement and an additional $2.5 million on or before the second anniversary of the final court approval. As of December 31, 2003, we have established an adequate reserve to cover the cost of the settlement.
On May 29, 2002, the State of Florida Office of the Attorney General Department of Legal Affairs filed a lawsuit in Leon County, Florida (Case No. 02-CA-1296) naming us, Patriot and four current or former Wyndham employees as defendants. In this case, the Attorney General alleged that the imposition of energy surcharges, resort fees and automatic service fees violates the States Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. We filed a motion to dismiss this suit which was granted in part and the individual defendants were dismissed. The Attorney General has appealed the dismissal of the individual defendants. We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit and have opposed the appeal. Discovery is on-going. This suit may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to us.
19
On June 20, 2002, plaintiffs in the case entitled Roller-Edelstein, et al. v. Wyndham International, Inc., et al., filed an amended complaint in Dallas County District Court (case no. 02-04946-A) alleging that supplemental fees charged to hotel guests constituted common law fraud, breach of contract and violated Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiffs claim to represent a nationwide class and have estimated damages in excess of $10 million. We have answered this complaint, but no formal discovery has been taken yet and the court has not yet certified a class. We anticipate vigorously defending this lawsuit. This suit may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to us.
On February 18, 2003, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County, by Joseph Lopez and Alberto Jose Martinez, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, against Wyndham International, Inc., et al alleging that we violated certain provisions of the California Labor Code and the California Business and Professions Code concerning wage and hour requirements. The plaintiffs claim to represent a class. The plaintiffs also allege we breached a fiduciary duty to them and the other class members by seeking to take undue advantage of them by failing to pay them appropriate wages. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of themselves and the class in an unspecified amount for all causes of action. An answer to the complaint has been filed and discovery has commenced. The parties conducted an early mediation of this matter and have agreed to the terms of a settlement, which will require court approval. The settlement would require us to pay $2.5 million to the plaintiffs. As of December 31, 2003, we have adequate reserves to cover the amount. We anticipate concluding the settlement process during the first half of 2004.
On or about June 8, 2003, the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General notified Wyndham that a complaint had been filed with its Fair Labor and Practices Division against Wyndhams Westborough, Massachusetts location. According to the Office of the Attorney General, the complaint alleged that Wyndham-Westborough had violated certain provisions of Massachusetts wage payment laws (Massachusetts General Statutes c. 149, § 152A) by failing to remit to its employees all amounts owed by statute. On or about January 2, 2004, Wyndham received notice of a second Attorney General complaint also alleging a violation of c. 149, § 152A, this time with respect to all of Wyndhams Massachusetts hotels. Although we intend to vigorously defend against these complaints, we have nevertheless fully cooperated with the Attorney Generals office by providing it with documents and other information in hopes of quickly resolving these matters. Because the Office of the Attorney General does not disclose information regarding complaints made to it, it remains unclear exactly who the complainants are, how many complainants are involved, and what the complaints allege. As such, it is impossible at this time to determine the exposure Wyndham could face in these matters.

For the six year period beginning September 30, 1999, dividends on our series A and series B preferred stock are payable partly in cash and partly in additional shares of our series A and series B preferred stock, with the cash portion aggregating $29.25 million per year, so long as there is no redemption or conversion of our series A and series B preferred stock. For the following four years, dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of our series A or series B preferred stock, as the case may be, as determined by our board of directors. After year ten, dividends are payable solely in cash.
We are prohibited under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying cash dividends on the series A and series B preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, we have deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaling approximately $73.1 million. This amount has been included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2003. In addition, according to the terms of our series A and series B preferred stock, if the cash dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for at least 60 days, then an additional amount of dividends will accrue at an annual rate of 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until the cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. These additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, we have issued an additional stock dividend of 637,652 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $63.8 million.

Notes to Selected Financial Information
(1) | When we refer to our basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, dividends per share, and weighted average number of shares outstanding, we have adjusted these amounts to reflect our June 30, 1999 restructuring pursuant to which, among other things, each outstanding paired share was converted into one share of our class A common stock. |
(2) | For 2003, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the effect of unvested stock grants of 13,241,106 and 167,906,293 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 2002, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the effect of unvested stock grants of 13,708,395, and 153,325,020 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 2001, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the dilutive effect of unvested stock grants of 4,613,000 and 138,592,000 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 2000, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the dilutive effect of unvested stock grants of 645,000, the option to purchase 104,000 shares of our class A common stock and 129,073,000 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 1999, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the dilutive effect of unvested stock grants of 825,000, the option to purchase 59,000 shares of our class A common stock and 60,213,000 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. |
(3) | For 2003, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 13,075,199 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $0.48 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive. For 2002, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 13,136,272 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $0.85 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive. For 2001, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 14,041,000 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $1.75 to $30.40 because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our class A common shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive. For 2000, we did not |
23
include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 12,157,000 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $2.0625 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive. For 1999, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 9,702,000 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $4.75 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive. |
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Background
Organization
Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, we have grown substantially since our inception in 1995. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., or Patriot, was formed on April 17, 1995 as a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, to acquire equity interests in hotel properties. On October 2, 1995, Patriot completed an initial public offering of its common stock and commenced its operations.
On July 1, 1997, Patriot merged into California Jockey Club, or Cal Jockey. As part of this merger, Cal Jockey and Bay Meadows Operating Company, or Bay Meadows, entered into a paired share arrangement under which both of their common stocks were paired and traded together. Also, Cal Jockey changed its name to Patriot, and Bay Meadows changed its name to Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company.
In January 1998, Wyndham Hotel Corporation merged into Patriot and, as part of that merger, Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company changed its name to Wyndham International, Inc. We will refer to Wyndham International, Inc. as it existed before June 30, 1999 as old Wyndham. Patriot and old Wyndham grew primarily by acquiring hotels and other related businesses. They financed these acquisitions with funds drawn on their revolving credit facilities and capital raised by issuing paired shares and by having their two operating partnerships issue limited partnership interests.
On June 30, 1999, we restructured our organization. As part of this restructuring:
| Patriot became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours; |
| we and Patriot terminated the paired share arrangement; |
| each outstanding paired share was converted into one share of our class A common stock; and |
| Patriot terminated its status as a REIT effective January 1, 1999 and became a taxable corporation as of that date. |
Also on June 30, 1999, we completed a $1 billion series B preferred stock equity investment, closed a new credit facility (comprised of a senior credit facility and an increasing rate loan facility), which has since been amended and restated, and closed on additional mortgage debt. Holders of our series B preferred stock are entitled to a quarterly dividend on a cumulative basis at a rate of 9.75% per year of which a portion is payable in additional shares of our series B preferred stock. Our series B preferred stock is convertible, at the holders option, into shares of our class B common stock. Also in 1999, we completed a rights offering of our series A preferred stock, which, except for voting rights, has substantially similar terms to our series B preferred stock. We used the proceeds of our series A preferred stock offering to redeem some of our series B preferred stock.
Our credit facility prohibits us from paying the cash portion of the preferred dividend until expiration or further amendment of our credit facility. Under the terms of our preferred stock, if cash dividends are in arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, an additional amount of dividends accrue at a rate per annum of 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional
24
dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, we had issued an additional stock dividend of 637,652 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $63.8 million because cash dividends totaling $73.1 million on the preferred stock had been in arrears and unpaid for a period of more than 60 days.
Over the past several years we have sold, and we currently intend to continue to sell all of our non-strategic, non-convertible assets. These are properties that do not fit our proprietary brand profile because of the quality of the asset or the fact that it is encumbered by a long-term licensing agreement with a non-Wyndham brand. By disposing of these assets, we will be able to focus solely on being a branded operating company, as well as reduce a portion of our debt with the net proceeds from these asset sales. Since implementing this plan in June of 1999, we have sold 129 assets with gross proceeds of approximately $1.85 billion. We have 24 non-strategic assets remaining to be sold. These assets will be held until such time as the sales price meets or exceeds managements assessment of their fair value.
In 2001, we sold or exchanged the following assets:
| two hotels and a sewer company, in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $8.6 million, after we repaid approximately $21.8 million of debt; |
| one hotel in which we retained a preferred equity interest for net cash proceeds of approximately $19.7 million; |
| three hotels and investments in four additional hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $58.7 million; and |
| six hotels, which were exchanged for one hotel. |
In 2002, we sold the following assets:
| seven hotels and an investment in a restaurant venture, in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $60.1 million, after we repaid approximately $65.7 million of debt. Also, $38.7 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets was used by us to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility; and |
| thirteen hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $202.5 million, after we repaid approximately $224.1 million of debt and placed $36.1 million in escrow under the terms of our senior credit facility for application by us in the future to make payments on existing mortgage indebtedness. Also, $127.6 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets was used by us to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility. As of December 31, 2003, $10.3 million of the $36.1 million has been applied in payment of existing mortgage indebtedness. |
In 2003, we sold or terminated leases for the following assets:
| eighteen hotels, two parcels of undeveloped land and a golf venture in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $107.4 million, after the repayment of mortgage debt of approximately $114.9 million. Also, $68.3 million of the net cash proceeds was used by us to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and we retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities; and |
| Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT) terminated leases on 27 hotel properties (15 Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels) operated by two of our subsidiaries. HPT rebranded 14 Summerfield Suites by Wyndham to a third-party brand on October 6, 2003, and one property remains a Summerfield Suite pursuant to a franchise agreement with HPT. Under a final settlement agreement, the 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels will be rebranded to a third-party brand by the end of 2004. On an annualized basis, based upon projections for the calendar year 2003, the estimated positive impact on cash flow of the lease terminations to our |
25
subsidiaries is $14.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the terminations resulted in a non-cash write-off of approximately $153.9 million for the leases remaining book value. |
During 2004 to date, we have sold our investments in nine hotel entities in three separate transactions for net cash proceeds of $45.6 million after payment of $96.5 million of mortgage debt. We used $34.8 million of the net cash proceeds to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.
In March 2004, the leases on six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties were terminated and the properties were converted to long-term franchises. Assets of approximately $22 million, which represented the leases remaining book value, were considered impaired and written-off as of December 31, 2003.
We continue to sell our non-strategic assets to reduce debt. At December 31, 2003, we had approximately $238.3 million of assets classified as held for sale, net of impairment. We classify certain assets as held for sale based on our management having the authority and intent of entering into commitments for sale transactions expected to close in the next twelve months.
Indebtedness
On March 4, 2003, we entered into a fourth amendment and restatement of our term loan and revolving credit facility and a third amendment of our increasing rate loans facility. The amendments and restatements include the following:
| an increase in the letter of credit availability under our revolving facility from $75 million to $90 million; |
| waivers and consents by the lenders to any resolution of issues surrounding certain under-performing properties; |
| extension of the outside date by which we must grant mortgage liens to the lenders on certain excluded properties under the credit facilities; and |
| authorization to effect certain administrative organizational changes to our corporate structure. |
On May 29, 2003, we entered into a fifth amendment and restatement of our term loan and revolving credit facility and a fourth amendment of our increasing rate loans facility. The amendments provided for the extension of the maturity dates of our revolving and increasing rate loan facilities held by consenting lenders (previously scheduled to occur on June 30, 2004) to April 1, 2006 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the principal repayment of $200.2 million of the term and increasing rate facilities before February 29, 2004. On December 9, 2003, we satisfied all conditions precedent necessary to affect an extension of the consenting lenders maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and the increasing rate loans to April 1, 2006. Loans held by non-consenting lenders totaling approximately $19 million will retain the original maturity date of June 30, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the amended credit facilities, we have retained an amount sufficient to satisfy such $19 million debt at maturity from the net cash proceeds of asset sales and refinancings. The proceeds of asset sales and refinancings were the primary sources of funds for the $200.2 million principal repayment and the $19 million reserve for the June 30, 2004 maturities. In connection with the maturity extensions, the available commitments under our revolving credit facility have been reduced by $85 million. Over 95% of the revolving and increasing rate lenders voted in favor of the amendments. Also, consenting lenders will receive an increase in interest rate and certain fees as set forth in the amended credit facilities, including a 2% fee to be paid at maturity based upon the sum of the revolving commitments and outstanding terms loans, if any, as of June 30, 2005.
Pursuant to the terms of the amended credit facilities in effect following the maturity extensions described above, we may retain some or all of the net cash proceeds from asset sales and refinancings of existing mortgage indebtedness (other than the credit facilities) up to $22.5 million to be used to repay the non-consenting lenders at the June 2004 original maturity date as long as we maintain a pro forma minimum revolving credit facility
26
commitment availability after giving effect to such retention. As of January 15, 2004, we have retained $22.5 million to satisfy the non-consenting lenders at the June 2004 original maturity date from the net cash proceeds of asset sales and refinancings. We may retain all or any portion of the reserved amount in the event the outstanding balance of the loans held by non-consenting lenders is less than the reserved amount as of the June 2004 maturity date. Following the retention described above, we will apply net cash proceeds in the following manner: first, the initial $20 million of asset sale proceeds each year may be retained by us, provided that the second $10 million of the $20 million may be retained only if our liquidity falls below a certain level set forth in the credit facilities; second, subject to certain limitations set forth in the credit facilities including our maximum liquidity levels, we may elect to retain up to 25% of such net cash proceeds with the balance applied to repay indebtedness under the credit facilities, up to a maximum of $35 million a year; third, to repay scheduled term loan payments; fourth, after we have retained $35 million in such year, or if we are not permitted to retain a percentage of the asset sale or refinancing proceeds as a result of the limitations set forth in the credit facilities, 100% of such proceeds must be applied to repay indebtedness under the credit facilities on a pro-rata basis. We also agreed to use 100% of the net cash proceeds from new debt issuances (other than refinancings of existing mortgage indebtedness which will be applied in accordance with the previous sentence) to reduce outstanding indebtedness under the credit facilities on a pro rata basis.
On June 11, 2003, we completed a $425 million mortgage refinancing secured by 19 hotel properties. The loan was made by affiliates of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., bears interest at the rate set forth in Note 4, footnote 8 to our consolidated financial statements and has an initial maturity date of June 9, 2005. We have the sole discretion to extend the maturity date of the loan to as late as July 9, 2008. The loan refinanced the two mortgage pools that were scheduled to mature on July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004, respectively.
On November 6, 2003, we refinanced the Wyndham Condado Plaza mortgage debt totaling $36.5 million as of September 30, 2003, with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. A portion of the excess proceeds received from the Condado refinancing was used to pay down $23.5 million of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan. The new loan totaling $94.5 million bears interest at LlBOR plus 4.25%, with a 2% LIBOR floor, and matures on November 6, 2005. The maturity date may be extended, solely at our own option, for three one year periods.
Despite our successful efforts to amend our credit facilities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet our debt service obligations and, to the extent that we cannot, we may lose some or all of our assets, including hotel properties. Continuing adverse economic conditions could cause the terms on which we borrow to worsen. Those circumstances, if we are in need of funds to repay indebtedness, could force us to liquidate one or more investments in properties at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on those investments. The foregoing risks associated with our debt obligations may inhibit our ability to raise capital in both the public and private markets and may have a negative impact on our credit rating.
During 2004, we have scheduled principal payments and debt maturities of approximately $292.7 million. Of that amount, we can elect to extend $214.5 million for two additional twelve month periods, and an additional $19 million of debt has been provided for in a restricted cash account. We are seeking to refinance the remaining scheduled principal payments and debt prior to their maturities in 2004; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.
Results of Operations: Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2002
Our room revenues were $716.1 million and $750.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Approximately $30.1 million of the decrease is attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2003. The remaining decrease is attributable to the declining revenues throughout our owned and leased hotel portfolio. While occupancy increased 3.4%, average daily rate, or ADR and revenue per available room or RevPAR decreased 4.9% and 1.6%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. This RevPAR decline can be attributed to a reduced demand in the corporate group and commercial retail segments of our business as a result of the sluggish economy, travelers fears of exposure to contagious diseases and the effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom, offset by increased Wyndham.com bookings and leisure and corporate internet business.
27
Our food and beverage revenues were $377.2 million and $394.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2003 totaling $16.4 million.
Our other hotel revenues were $160.5 million and $181.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Approximately $3.3 million of the decrease is attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2003. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to the decline in communication, change in customer mix which produced less ancillary revenue, other minor operating revenues and reduced group cancellation revenues throughout our owned and leased hotel portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.
Our room expenses were $184.2 million and $189.2 million for the years ended December 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Room expenses decreased by approximately $7.3 million due to hotels that were sold in 2003. This decrease was offset by an increase in our labor, benefit and distribution costs attributable to the 3.4% increase in occupancy for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.
Our food and beverage expenses were $261.8 million and $276.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Approximately $12.1 million of the decrease is attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2003. The remaining decrease consists of reductions in food and beverage product costs, operating supplies and labor costs.
Our other hotel expenses were $520.4 million and $545.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease consists of $21.5 million in other hotel expenses from those hotels that were sold in 2003 and $3.7 million in reduced expenses consisting of lower insurance costs and other minor operating expenses.
Our management fee and service fee income was $17.5 million and $17.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. While our management fee and service fee income was flat, fees decreased primarily as a result of reductions in hotel revenue upon which the fees are based and the termination of ten contracts subsequent to 2002. The decrease was offset, in part, by 27 new management and franchise contracts acquired subsequent to December 31, 2002.
Our interest and other income was $6.3 million and $7.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the reductions of our note receivables in 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.
Our general and administrative expenses were $63.1 million and $73.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of the following: reductions in bonus expenses of $8.2 million, reductions in payroll costs of $3.1 million, reductions in deferred compensation expenses of $882,000, reductions in legal fees of $414,000, reductions in development and acquisition costs of $2.6 million, reductions in severance costs of $2.9 million and reductions in management contract costs of $5.6 million. These reductions in general and administrative costs were offset by increases in receivable write-offs of $908,000, increases in directors and officers insurance of $1.6 million, increases in leasehold termination costs of $522,000, increases in professional fees of $1.1 million, increases in office equipment maintenance and supply costs of $1.7 million, increases in general insurance of $493,000 and litigation settlement accruals of $6.8 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, our bond offering cancellation costs were $3.8 million. We withdrew the offering of the proposed debt securities due to unfavorable market conditions.
Our interest expense was $183.7 million and $211.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This decrease is a result of a reduction in the amount of our total debt and lower interest rates. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, we had approximately $2.68 billion and $2.83 billion of debt, respectively. Also, the one-month LIBOR rate was 1.12% and 1.38% as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and our weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2003 was 5.92% as compared to 6.17% for the year ended December 31, 2002.
28
Our depreciation and amortization expense was $201.1 million and $213 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense is due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2002.
The benefit for income taxes was $41.1 million and $97.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in the tax benefit is due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to same period in 2002. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. The decrease in our net deferred tax liability is primarily due to operating losses, impairment of assets, sale of assets and termination of leasehold interests.
Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries was $1.7 million and $258,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase is attributable to better operating results due to lower hotel expenses in the joint venture partnerships.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a gain of $33.3 million as compared to a loss of $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 for the change in the fair value of the ineffective interest rate hedge contracts. In addition, reductions of $1.2 million (net of taxes of $1.1 million) and $4.8 million (net of taxes of $3.2 million) were recorded against other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the effective derivatives. Also, during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we paid $49.2 million and $41.7 million, respectively, in settlement payments for ineffective hedges. In addition, we recorded amortization of $3.8 million (net of taxes of $2.5 million) and $9.5 million (net of taxes of $6.3 million) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, to earnings as a reduction of the transitional adjustment that was recorded in other comprehensive income in 2001.
Impairment loss was $27.8 million and $162,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The impairment loss reflects the write-down of assets held for sale during the year ended December 31, 2003 and a pre-tax charge related to the decline in value of certain equity securities held by us. The decline in value of the securities was deemed to be other-than-temporary during the year ended December 31, 2003, thus requiring an earnings charge, primarily based on the length of time the securities have traded below cost.
Loss from discontinued operations was $237.9 million and $54.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in loss is attributable to the increase in impairment charges of $99.8 million; and the write-off of the remaining book value of the terminated HPT leases of $153.9 million. The loss from discontinued operations was offset, in part, by an increase in the gain on sale of assets of $26.8 million and the increase in tax benefits of $43.2 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a cumulative effect of an accounting change of $324.1 million to reflect a write-off of goodwill.
Our resulting net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $389.6 million as compared to a net loss of $522.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Results of Operations: Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2001
Our room revenues were $750.9 million and $839.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $4.1 million of the decrease is attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2002. The remaining decrease is attributable to the declining revenues throughout our owned and leased hotel portfolio. While occupancy increased 1.2%, ADR and RevPAR decreased 4.5% and 7.6%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. This RevPAR decline can be attributed to a reduced demand in the transient and group segments of our business as a result of the sluggish economy, offset by increased leisure business.
29
Our food and beverage revenues were $394.8 million and $416.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $2.8 million of the decrease is attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2002. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to decreased banquet and catering revenues in our owned and leased hotel portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.
Our other hotel revenues were $181.4 million and $195.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $684,000 of the decrease is attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2002. The remaining decrease is primarily attributable to the decline in communication, other minor operating revenues and reduced group cancellation revenues throughout our owned and leased hotel portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.
Our room expenses were $189.2 million and $200.2 million for the years ended December 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $1.5 million of the decrease was due to hotels that were sold in 2002. The remaining decrease is attributable to staffing reductions at the hotels and other cost saving initiatives we implemented as our hotel revenues declined.
Our food and beverage expenses were $276.8 million and $295.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease consists of a decrease in food and beverage product costs, operating supplies and labor costs, that amounted to $16.6 million in our owned and leased portfolio as well as a reduction in costs of $2.3 million from hotels that were sold in 2002.
Our other hotel expenses were $545.6 million and $567.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $2.5 million of the decrease was due to hotels that were sold in 2002. The remaining decrease is attributable to lower minor operating expenses and other cost saving initiatives we implemented as our hotel revenues declined. The decrease was offset, in part, by higher property insurance premiums in 2002.
Our management fee and service fee income was $17.6 million and $20.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of reductions in hotel revenue upon which the fees are based and the termination of certain contracts during 2002 and 2001.
Our interest and other income was $7.1 million and $10.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $543,000 of the decrease in interest income can be attributed to hotels that were sold in 2002 and 2001. The remaining decrease is attributable to the payment of certain note receivables in 2002.
Our general and administrative expenses were $73.5 million and $95 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of the following: reductions in conversion costs of $11.7 million, reductions in the write-off of receivables deemed not collectible of $5.5 million, reductions of $4.5 million in costs associated with the termination of management and leasehold contracts, reductions of $5.2 million in reservation and marketing funds not reimbursed by the hotels and reductions of $6.6 million in severance costs. These reductions were offset in 2002, in part, by increases in debt restructuring costs of $1.5 million, an increase in bonus accruals of $7.5 million, an increase in deferred compensation expenses of $1.3 million and an increase in office equipment maintenance and supply expenses of $2.2 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, our bond offering cancellation costs were $3.8 million. We withdrew a proposed offering of debt securities during the second quarter of 2002 due to unfavorable market conditions.
Our interest expense was $211.3 million and $276.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This decrease is primarily a result of a reduction in the amount of our total debt. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had approximately $2.8 billion and $3.4 billion of debt, respectively. Also, the one-month LIBOR rate was 1.38% and 1.87% as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for 2002 was 6.17% as compared to 7.37% for 2001.
30
Our depreciation and amortization expense was $213 million and $208 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we transferred back to held for use certain assets that were previously held for sale thus increasing depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 by $47.5 million. This increase was offset by our adopting of SFAS 142 during the first quarter of 2002 which impaired our goodwill by $324.1 million thus reducing amortization expense by $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. In addition, depreciation expense was reduced by $9.8 million due to asset sales in 2002.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, we classified five assets as held for sale based on our management having the authority and intent of entering into commitments for sale transactions expected to close in the next twelve months. Based on the estimated net sales proceeds, we recorded a reserve for impairment for loss on real estate assets held for sale of $16.3 million in 2001. The provision reduced the carrying value of the owned hotels to the estimated net sales proceeds less estimated costs to sell. Also, during 2001, we recorded a reserve for impairment on three assets held for use of $7.9 million.
The benefit for income taxes was $97.6 million and $110.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is, in part, due to the reduction in operating losses. This was offset, in part, by depreciation of certain assets that were previously held for sale during the year ended December 31, 2001, resulting in differences in general accepted accounting principle, or GAAP, and tax depreciation.
Minority interests share of income in consolidated subsidiaries was $258,000 and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately $3.3 million of the decrease in minority interest is attributable to those hotels that were sold in 2002 and 2001. In addition, the decrease in the allocation of income used in the computation of minority interest was due to depreciation expense now being recorded for assets previously held for sale in 2001 and due to lower operating income.
We recorded losses of $27.2 million and $32.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for the change in the fair market value of the ineffective interest rate hedge contracts. In addition, a reduction of $4.8 million (net of taxes of $3.2 million) and a charge of $6.6 million (net of taxes of $4.4 million) were recorded against other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the effective derivatives. Also, during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, we paid $41.7 million and $15.4 million respectively, in settlement payments for ineffective hedges. In addition, we recorded amortization of $9.5 million (net of taxes of $6.3 million) and $9.7 million (net of taxes of $6.4 million) for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to earnings as a reduction of the transitional adjustment that was recorded in other comprehensive income in 2001.
The loss from discontinued operations was $54.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the income from discontinued operations was $24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in income is attributable to the increase in loss from operations of $69.1 million, impairment charges of $37.8 million and losses on the sale of assets of $17.3 million. The loss from discontinued operations was offset, by an increase in tax benefit of $45.6 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a cumulative effect of an accounting change of $324.1 million to reflect a write-off of goodwill. In 2001, $10.4 million (net of taxes of $6.9 million) was recorded to reflect an adjustment to the derivative financial instruments.
Our resulting net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $522.4 million compared to a net loss of $138.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Results of Reporting Segments
Our results of operations are classified into three reportable segments: (1) Wyndham branded hotel properties, (2) non-proprietary branded hotel properties and (3) other.
For the year ended December 31, 2003 compared with the year ended December 31, 2002
Wyndham branded properties include Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®, Wyndham Luxury Resorts®, Wyndham Garden Hotels® and Summerfield Suites by Wyndham. This segment represented approximately 86.7% and 83.8% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $1.11 billion compared to $1.13 billion for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operating income for this segment was $260.8 million compared to $276.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Decreases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to a decline in ADR of 4.9% in the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of the sluggish economy, travelers fears of exposure to contagious diseases and the effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The decrease in ADR was partially offset by an increase in occupancy of 3.4%.
Non-proprietary branded properties, including Doubletree®, Hilton®, Holiday Inn®, Marriott®, Ramada®, Radisson®, and Hyatt®, represented approximately 11.4% and 14.3% of our total revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $146 million compared to $193.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operating income for this segment was $26.5 million and $38.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in both revenue and operating income is due in part to the sale of non-proprietary branded assets since December 31, 2002. Also, operating results were impacted by a decline in ADR of 5.4% as a result of the sluggish economy, travelers fears of exposure to contagious diseases and the effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
During 2002, we identified 50 non-proprietary branded hotels as non-strategic assets that we intend to sell. We have sold 26 of these assets and 24 assets remain to be sold. However, these remaining 24 non-strategic assets will be held until such time as the sales price meets or exceeds managements assessment of each assets fair value. The 24 assets represented approximately 20% and 17% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In response to third party offers, we have also identified a limited number of Wyndham-branded assets that we would consider selling under limited circumstances and upon specific conditions. The Wyndham-branded assets include properties where we would retain a franchise or management agreement, properties that reside in markets where we have multiple Wyndham-branded assets and would maintain favorable market penetration after the sale, and properties that are inconsistent with the maintenance and development of the Wyndham brand.
Other represents revenue from various operating businesses, including management and other service companies. Expenses in this segment are primarily interest, depreciation, amortization and corporate general and administrative expenses. Total revenue for the segment was $23.8 million and $24.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in this segments revenue was primarily the result of a reduction in dividend and interest income from investments that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2002. Operating losses for this segment were $481 million and $557.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the following: reductions in bonus expenses of $8.2 million, reductions in payroll costs of $3.1 million, reductions in deferred compensation expenses of $882,000, reductions in legal fees of $414,000, reductions in development and acquisition costs of $2.6 million, reductions in severance costs of $2.9 million, reductions in management contract costs of $5.6 million, reductions in derivative instruments of $62.6 million, reductions in bond cancellation costs of $3.8 million, reductions in interest expense of $27.6 million, reductions in depreciation and amortization of $11.9 million and reductions in leasehold termination costs of $4 million. The reductions were offset by increases in receivable write-offs of $908,000, increases in directors and officers insurance of $1.6 million, increases in general insurance costs of $493,000, increases in professional fees of $1.1 million, increases in impairment on assets held
32
for sale of $27.8 million, increases in losses on the sale of assets of $15.6 million, increases in office equipment maintenance and supply costs of $1.7 million and a litigation settlement accrual of $6.8 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2002 compared with the year ended December 31, 2001
Wyndham branded properties include Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®, Wyndham Luxury Resorts®, Wyndham Garden hotels® and Summerfield Suites by Wyndham. This segment represented approximately 83.8% and 79.4% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $1.13 billion compared to $1.18 billion for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating income for this segment was $276.8 million compared to $321.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Decreases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to a decline in ADR of 9.7% in 2002. The decrease in ADR was partially offset by an increase in occupancy of 2.4%. Also, operating results were impacted by increases in our fixed expenses, such as property insurance.
Non-proprietary branded properties, including Doubletree®, Hilton®, Holiday Inn®, Marriott®, Ramada®, Radisson®, and Hyatt®, represented approximately 14.3% and 18.5% of our total revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $193.7 million compared to $274.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating income for this segment was $38.7 million and $66.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in both revenue and operating income is due in part to the sale of non-proprietary branded assets since 2001. Also, operating results were impacted by declines in ADR and occupancy of 7.1% and 4.8%, respectively, and by increases in our fixed expenses, such as property insurance.
Other represents revenue from various operating businesses, including management and other service companies. Expenses in this segment are primarily interest, depreciation, amortization and corporate general and administrative expenses. Total revenue for the segment was $24.7 million and $30.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in this segments revenue was primarily the result of lost management fees from contracts lost and the decline in hotel revenue upon which management fees are based. Operating losses for this segment were $557.7 million and $647.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in operating loss is primarily a result of the following: reductions in conversion costs of $11.7 million resulting from the implementation of brand standards in our portfolio of hotels, reductions in the write-off of receivables deemed not collectible for $5.5 million, reductions of $4.5 million in costs associated with the termination of management and leasehold contracts, reductions of $5.2 million in reservation and marketing funds not reimbursed by the hotels, reductions in management contract costs of $10 million, reductions in impairment on assets held for sale of $24 million, reductions in interest expense of $65 million, reductions of $6.6 million in severance costs and increases in the gain on the sale of assets of $21.9 million. These reductions were offset in 2002, in part, by increases in debt restructuring costs of $1.5 million, increases in the bonus expenses of $7.5 million, increases in deferred compensation expenses of $1.3 million, increases in derivative instruments of $37.2 million, increases in bond cancellation costs of $3.8 million, increases in depreciation and amortization of $5 million and increases in office equipment maintenance and supply costs of $2.2 million.
Recent Events
During 2004 to date, we have sold our investments in nine hotels in three separate transactions for net cash proceeds of $45.6 million after repayment of mortgage debt of $96.5 million. Of the net cash proceeds, $34.8 million was used to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and we retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.
In March 2004, the leases on six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties were terminated and the properties were converted to long-term franchises. Assets of approximately $22 million, which represented the leases remaining book value, were considered impaired and written-off as of December 31, 2003.
33
On January 31, 2004, Stephen T. Clark resigned his position as a class C director due to time constraints.
On February 11, 2004, Marc A. Beilinson was appointed a class C director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Clarks resignation.
On February 11, 2004, Adela Cepeda was appointed a class A director to fill the vacancy created by Sue Groentemans resignation on September 18, 2002.
On February 25, 2004, Norman Brownstein resigned his position as a class C director due to time constraints. No one has been appointed to fill this vacancy at this time.
Statistical Information
During 2003, our portfolio of 103 owned and leased hotels experienced a decline in both ADR and RevPAR of approximately 4.9% and 1.6%, respectively, as compared to 2002 while occupancy increased by 3.4%. We attribute the declines in both ADR and RevPAR primarily to a sluggish economy, travelers fears of exposure to contagious diseases and the effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The following table sets forth certain statistical information for our 103 owned and leased hotels for 2003 and 2002 as if the hotels were owned or leased for the entire periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2003 were $62.4 million, and our restricted cash was $130.5 million. Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2002 were $37.2 million, and our restricted cash was $143.8 million. Included in restricted cash at December 31, 2003 is $25.9 million which is a portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of Marriott Philadelphia West that was part of a portfolio of thirteen hotels sold in 2002. The $25.9 million will be used to make payments on such debt, refinance all or any portion of the debt and/or extend maturities and amortization payments in accordance with the credit facilities.
Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Our principal source of cash flow is from the operations of the hotels that we own, lease and manage. Cash flows from operating activities were $62.6 million, $76.5 million and $158.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operational cash flows were negatively impacted by lower cash generated from hotel operations as a result of hotels sold and lower RevPar which was 1.6% lower compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease in RevPar was negatively impacted by the sluggish economy, travelers fears of exposure to contagious diseases and the effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom. This was offset in part by lower interest expense payments of approximately $47.4 million as compared to the same period in 2002 due to the reduction in the amount of our total debt and lower interest rates in 2003.
Cash Flows from Investing and Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by our investing activities were $137.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, resulting primarily from proceeds received from the sale of assets during 2003. This was offset by renovation
34
expenditures at certain hotels, the acquisition of a hotel property and changes in our restricted cash reserves during the period. Cash flows used in financing activities of $174.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 were primarily related to principal repayments made on our debt.
Cash flows provided by our investing activities were $425.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, resulting primarily from asset sales during 2002. This was partially offset by renovation expenditures at certain hotels. Cash flows used by our financing activities of $631 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 were primarily related to the net principal repayments made on our debt as a result of asset sales.
Cash flows used in our investing activities were $63.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, resulting primarily from renovation expenditures at certain hotels. This was partially offset by proceeds received from asset sales during 2001. Cash flows provided by our financing activities of $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 were primarily related to us borrowing under our senior credit facility, which was partially offset by dividend payments made by us on our Series A and B preferred stock.
Credit Facilities
As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately $164.1 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $1.05 billion outstanding on term loans I, $343.3 million outstanding on term loans II and $15.1 million outstanding under increasing rate loans. Additionally, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $77.5 million. Also, as of December 31, 2003, we had $1.07 billion of mortgage debt outstanding that encumbered 40 hotels and capital leases and other debt of $38.4 million, resulting in total indebtedness of approximately $2.68 billion. Included in the total indebtedness is approximately $118.1 million of debt associated with assets held for sale. As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately $161 million in liquidity. Our liquidity is defined as revolver availability plus cash in our overnight accounts.
On March 4, 2003, we entered into a fourth amendment and restatement of our term loan and revolving credit facility and a third amendment of our increasing rate loans facility. The amendments and restatements include the following:
| an increase in the letter of credit availability under our revolving facility from $75 million to $90 million; |
| waivers and consents by the lenders to any resolution of issues surrounding certain under-performing properties; |
| extension of the outside date by which we must grant mortgage liens to the lenders on certain excluded properties under the credit facilities; and |
| authorization to effect certain administrative organizational changes to our corporate structure. |
On May 29, 2003, we entered into a fifth amendment and restatement of our term loan and revolving credit facility and a fourth amendment of our increasing rate loans facility. The amendments provided for the extension of the maturity dates of our revolving and increasing rate loan facilities held by consenting lenders (previously scheduled to occur on June 30, 2004) to April 1, 2006 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the principal repayment of $200.2 million of the term and increasing rate facilities before February 29, 2004. On December 9, 2003, we satisfied all conditions precedent necessary to affect an extension of the consenting lenders maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and the increasing rate loans to April 1, 2006. Loans held by non-consenting lenders totaling approximately $19 million will retain the original maturity date of June 30, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the amended credit facilities, we have retained an amount sufficient to satisfy such $19 million debt at maturity from the net cash proceeds of asset sales and refinancings. The proceeds of asset sales and refinancings were the primary sources of funds for the $200.2 million principal repayment and the $19 million reserve for the June 30, 2004 maturities. In connection with the maturity extensions, the available commitments under our revolving credit facility have been reduced by $85 million. Over 95% of the revolving and increasing rate lenders voted in favor of the amendments. Also, consenting lenders will receive an increase in
35
interest rate and certain fees as set forth in the amended credit facilities, including a 2% fee to be paid at maturity based upon the sum of the revolving commitments and outstanding terms loans, if any, as of June 30, 2005.
Pursuant to the terms of the amended credit facilities as in effect following the maturity extensions described above, we may retain some or all of the net cash proceeds from asset sales and refinancings of existing mortgage indebtedness (other than the credit facilities) up to $22.5 million to be used to repay the non-consenting lenders at the June 2004 original maturity date as long as we maintain a pro forma minimum revolving credit facility commitment availability after giving effect to such retention. As of January 15, 2004, we have retained $22.5 million to satisfy the non-consenting lenders at the June 2004 original maturity date from the net cash proceeds of asset sales and refinancings. We may retain all or any portion of the reserved amount in the event the outstanding balance of the loans held by non-consenting lenders is less than the reserved amount as of the June 2004 maturity date. Following the retention described above, we will apply net cash proceeds in the following manner: first, the initial $20 million of asset sale proceeds each year may be retained by us, provided that the second $10 million of the $20 million may be retained only if our liquidity falls below a certain level set forth in the credit facilities; second, subject to certain limitations set forth in the credit facilities including our maximum liquidity levels, we may elect to retain up to 25% of such net cash proceeds with the balance applied to repay indebtedness under the credit facilities, up to a maximum of $35 million a year; third, to repay scheduled term loan payments; fourth, after we have retained $35 million in such year, or if we are not permitted to retain a percentage of the asset sale or refinancing proceeds as a result of the limitations set forth in the credit facilities, 100% of such proceeds must be applied to repay indebtedness under the credit facilities on a pro-rata basis. We also agreed to use 100% of the net cash proceeds from new debt issuances (other than refinancings of existing mortgage indebtedness which will be applied in accordance with the previous sentence) to reduce outstanding indebtedness under the credit facilities on a pro rata basis.
On June 11, 2003, we completed a $425 million mortgage refinancing secured by 19 hotel properties. The loan was made by affiliates of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., bears interest at the rate set forth in Note 4, footnote 8 to our consolidated financial statements and has an initial maturity date of June 9, 2005. We have the sole discretion to extend the maturity date of the loan to as late as July 9, 2008. The loan refinanced the two mortgage pools that were scheduled to mature on July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004, respectively.
On November 6, 2003, we refinanced the Wyndham Condado Plaza mortgage debt totaling $36.5 million as of September 30, 2003, with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. A portion of the excess proceeds received from the Condado refinancing was used to pay down $23.5 million of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan. The new loan totaling $94.5 million bears interest at LlBOR plus 4.25%, with a 2% LIBOR floor, and matures on November 6, 2005. The maturity date may be extended, solely at our option, for three one year periods.
We have considered our short-term liquidity needs and the adequacy of adjusted estimated cash flows and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund our normal recurring expenses and our debt service requirements. We anticipate that these needs will be fully funded from our cash flows provided by operating activities and, when necessary, from our revolving credit facility. In the past, we have generally met our long-term liquidity requirements for the funding of activities, such as development and scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the proceeds from the sale of our assets. In the future, we may seek to increase our capital resources through similar activities or, subject to limitations imposed by the terms of our credit agreements and preferred stock, through offerings of debt or equity securities, including convertible notes and preferred or common stock.
36
As of December 31, 2003, under the terms of the applicable credit facilities, loan agreements, and lease agreements, our principal amortization and balloon payment requirements and our future five year minimum lease payments are summarized as follows:

During 2004, we have scheduled principal payments and debt maturities of approximately $292.7 million. Of that amount, we can elect to extend $214.5 million for two additional twelve month periods, and an additional $19 million of debt has been provided for in a restricted cash account. We are seeking to refinance the remaining mortgages prior to their maturities in 2004; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. During 2005, we have scheduled principal payments and debt maturities of approximately $683.9 million. Of that amount, we can elect to extend $491.7 million for three additional twelve month periods and $43.5 million for one additional twelve month period. Of the remaining 2005 maturities, we are seeking to extend or refinance these debt maturities, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.
Dividends
We do not anticipate paying a dividend to our common stockholders and we are prohibited under the terms of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying dividends on our class A common stock. For the six year period beginning September 30, 1999, dividends on our series A and series B preferred stock are payable partly in cash and partly in additional shares of our series A and series B preferred stock, with the cash portion aggregating $29.25 million per year, so long as there is no redemption or conversion of our series A and series B preferred stock. For the following four years, dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of our series A or series B preferred stock, as the case may be, as determined by our board of directors. After year ten, dividends are payable solely in cash.
We are prohibited under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying cash dividends on the series A and series B preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, we have deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaling approximately $73.1 million. This amount has been included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2003. In addition, according to the terms of our series A and series B preferred stock, if the cash dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for at least 60 days, then an additional amount of dividends will accrue at an annual rate of 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until the cash dividends in
37
arrears have been paid in full. These additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, we have issued an additional stock dividend of 637,652 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $63.8 million.
Renovations and Capital Improvements
During 2003, we invested approximately $59.6 million in capital improvements and renovations. These capital expenditures included (i) costs related to enhancing the revenue-producing capabilities of our hotels and (ii) costs related to recurring maintenance. During 2004, we anticipate spending approximately $75 million in capital expenditures primarily for recurring maintenance capital expenditures and technological initiatives. We are limited to capital expenditures of $125 million per year, plus $25 million per year for emergency capital expenditures under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility.
We attempt to schedule renovations and improvements during traditionally lower occupancy periods in an effort to minimize disruption to the hotels operations. Therefore, we do not believe such renovations and capital improvements will have a material effect on the results of operations of the hotels. Capital expenditures will be financed through capital expenditure reserves or with working capital.
Inflation
Operators of hotels in general possess the ability to adjust room rates quickly. However, competitive pressures may limit our ability to raise room rates in the face of inflation.
Seasonality
The hotel industry is seasonal in nature; however, the periods during which our hotel properties experience higher revenues vary from property to property and depend predominantly on the propertys location. Our revenues typically have been higher in the first and second quarters than in the third or fourth quarters.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to: impairment of assets; assets held for sale; bad debts; income taxes; insurance reserves; derivatives; and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We periodically review the carrying value of our assets, including intangible assets, to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that assets might be impaired. If facts and circumstances support this possibility of impairment, our management will prepare probability weighted undiscounted and discounted cash flow projections which require judgments that are both subjective and complex.
Our management uses its judgment in projecting which assets will be sold by us within the next twelve months. These judgments are based on our managements knowledge of the current market and the status of current negotiations with third parties. If assets are expected to be sold within 12 months, they are reclassified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet.
38
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, should we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
We maintain a paid loss deductible insurance plan for commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers compensation loss exposures related to our hotel operations. The primary loss deductible retention limit is currently $500,000 per occurrence for general liability and $250,000 per occurrence for automobile liability and workers compensation loss, in most jurisdictions. The estimates of the ultimate liability for losses and associated expenses are based upon a third party actuarial analysis and projection of actual historical development trends of loss frequency, severity and incurred but not reported claims as well as traditional issues that affect loss cost such as medical and statutory benefit inflation. In addition, the actuarial analysis compares our trends against general insurance industry development trends to develop an estimate of ultimate costs within the deductible retention. Large claims or incidents that could potentially involve material amounts are also monitored closely on a case-by-case basis. As of December 31, 2003, our balance sheet included an estimated liability with respect to this self-insurance program of $26.6 million.
Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. During the year ended December 31, 2003, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a portion of our variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2003, we did not have any derivatives designated as fair value hedges. Additionally, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We use a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date to determine the fair value of our derivative instruments. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. Future cash inflows or outflows from our derivative instruments depend upon future borrowing rates. If assumptions about future borrowing rates prove to be materially incorrect, the recorded value of these agreements could also prove to be materially incorrect. Because we use the derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to increases in variable interest rates, thus effectively fixing a portion of our variable interest rates, the impact of changes in future borrowing rates could result in our interest expense being either higher or lower than might otherwise have been incurred on our variable-rate borrowings had the rates not been fixed. A reduction in interest rates could result in a competitive advantage for companies in a position to take advantage of a lower cost of capital.
We are a defendant in lawsuits that arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. Our management uses its judgment, with the aid of legal counsel, to record accruals for losses that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated as a result of any pending actions against us.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards
We implemented the provisions of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, in 2002. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 144, gain and losses on long-lived assets classified as held for sale subsequent to January 1, 2002, the effective date of SFAS 144, was classified as gains or losses from the disposal of discontinued operations. Certain gains and losses on long-lived assets classified as held for sale that
39
were disposed of during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, have been classified in continued operations because they were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2001 and restatement of prior periods is not permitted under SFAS 144.
On January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS 145, Rescission of SFAS 4, 44 and 66, Amendment of SFAS 13 and Technical Correction. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4, 44 and 64 and amends SFAS 13 to modify the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS 4 required the classification of gains and losses resulting from extinguishment of debt to be classified as extraordinary items. Pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 145, we reclassified amount shown as extraordinary item for the year ended December 31, 2001 to continuing operations.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In response to a growing number of companies announcing plans to record expenses for the fair value of stock options, SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 to require more prominent disclosure about the effects of an entitys accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income. Finally, SFAS 148 amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. The amendments to SFAS 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. We made the disclosures required by the provisions of SFAS 148 on page F-12 under Stock Compensation.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46 (FIN 46 ), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The objective of FIN 46 is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a companys consolidated financial statements. A company that holds a variable interest in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the companys interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIEs expected losses and/or receive a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosure by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The disclosure provisions of FIN 46 became effective upon issuance. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after March 15, 2004 to existing VIEs. We did not establish any variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. We are in the process of evaluating all of our lease, management and joint venture relationships that existed prior to January 31, 2003 in order to determine whether the entities are VIEs and whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary or whether we hold a significant variable interest. We believe it is reasonably possible that our interest in one management contract (Wyndham Anatole) is a VIE where we are the primary beneficiary, which requires consolidation under FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. Had consolidation been required as of December 31, 2003, we would have recorded assets of $150.7 million, liabilities of $201.2 million and minority interest of $(50.5) million. In the unlikely event that we terminate the management contract and all of the underlying assets related to this contract had no value, we estimate that the maximum exposure to loss would approximate $92.3 million, primarily representing the net carrying value of our investment in the Wyndham Anatole at December 31, 2003. However, we expect to recover the recorded amount of our investment in the Wyndham Anatole. As we finalize our evaluation of the impact of applying FIN 46, additional entities may be identified that would need to be consolidated.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. The new guidance amends SFAS 133 for decisions made: (a) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to SFAS 133, (b) in connection with other Board projects dealing with financial instruments, and (c) regarding implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a
40
derivative, particularly regarding the meaning of an underlying derivative and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. The amendments set forth in SFAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with a few exceptions) and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The guidance is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. For calendar-year-end companies, SFAS 150 will become effective at the beginning of their third quarters. SFAS 150 is effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, SFAS 150 goes into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity. For contracts that were created or modified before May 31, 2003 and still exist at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, entities should record the transition to SFAS 150 by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. SFAS 150 prohibits entities from restating financial statements for earlier years presented. On October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred the provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 of SFAS 150 as they apply to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Those provisions require that mandatorily redeemable minority interests within the scope of SFAS 150 be classified as a liability on a parent companys financial statement in certain situations, including when a finite-lived entity is consolidated. The deferral of those provisions is expected to remain in effect while these interests are addressed in either Phase II of the FASBs Liabilities and Equity project or Phase II of the FASBs Business Combinations Project. However, the FASB did not defer the disclosure provisions relating to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS 150, if we liquidate the consolidated subsidiaries in which there exists a minority interest, we would be required to pay approximately $23.1 million in cash. Such amount is lower than the carrying amount of the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries by $16.8 million.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market risk exposure is to future changes in interest rates related to our derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments, including debt obligations, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and future debt commitments.
We manage our debt portfolio by periodically entering into interest rate swaps and caps to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates or to limit our exposure to rising interest rates.
41
The following table provides information about our derivative and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.
| For fixed rate debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity date and contracted interest rates at December 31, 2003. For variable rate debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows by expected maturity date and contracted interest rates at December 31, 2003. |
| For interest rate swaps and caps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates or strike rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at December 31, 2003. |

From December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003, the liability for derivative instruments decreased by $36.1 million. Our derivative portfolio consists entirely of interest rate protection agreements, which are valued based on the present value of future expected hedge payments over the remaining term of each interest rate hedge. Since, the hedges have moved closer to their maturity date at the end of 2003, the present value of future expected hedge payments has decreased. Consequently, the negative market value on the hedges has decreased which resulted in a decrease to the liability for derivative instruments.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of December 31, 2003, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
During the three month period ended December 31, 2003, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.

In addition, Wyndham managed 27 hotels for third party owners with over 7,700 guestrooms, franchised 53 hotels with over 11,100 guestrooms and has a strategic alliance with a third party for 7 hotels with over 2,300 rooms.
Wyndham as currently constituted, was formed through the June 30, 1999 restructuring and reorganization of Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, Patriot) and Wyndham International, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, Old Wyndham). Prior to June 30, 1999, the shares of common stock of Patriot were paired and traded together with the shares of Old Wyndham, on a one for one basis, as a single unit pursuant to a stock pairing arrangement, and were referred to as paired shares.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wyndham, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies in which Wyndham owns a controlling interest, after the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
PartnershipsThe condition for control is the ownership of a majority voting interest and the ownership of the general partnership interest. Also, in January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46) which requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. FIN 46 has been deferred to the first quarter of 2004 for variable interest entities that existed prior to February 1, 2003. The Company has not formed any variable interest entities subsequent to February 1, 2003 and accordingly, has only adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 46 as of December 31, 2003.
Corporations and Limited Liability CompaniesThe condition for control is the ownership of a majority voting interest. Also, FASB issued FIN 46 which requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. FIN 46 has been deferred to the first quarter of 2004 for variable interest entities that existed prior to February 1, 2003. The Company has not formed any variable interest entities subsequent to February 1, 2003 and accordingly, has only adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 46 as of December 31, 2003.
Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesThe preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to: impairment of assets; assets held for sale; bad debts; income taxes; insurance reserves; derivatives; and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its assets, including intangible assets, to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that assets might be impaired. If facts and circumstances support this possibility of impairment, management will prepare undiscounted and discounted cash flow projections which require judgments that are both subjective and complex.
The Companys management uses its judgment in projecting which assets will be sold by the Company within the next twelve months. These judgments are based on managements knowledge of the current market and the status of current negotiations with third parties. If assets are expected to be sold within 12 months, they are reclassified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its recorded deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
The Company maintains a paid loss deductible insurance plan for commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers compensation loss exposures related to the hotel operations. The primary loss deductible retention limit is currently $500 per occurrence for general liability and $250 per occurrence for automobile liability and workers compensation loss, in most jurisdictions. The estimates of the ultimate liability for losses and associated expenses are based upon a third party actuarial analysis and projection of actual historical development trends of loss frequency, severity and incurred but not reported claims as well as traditional issues that affect loss cost such as medical and statutory benefit inflation. In addition, the actuarial analysis compares our trends against general insurance industry development trends to develop an estimate of ultimate costs within the deductible retention. Large claims or incidents that could potentially involve material amounts are also monitored closely on a case-by-case basis. As of December 31, 2003, the Companys balance sheet included an estimated liability with respect to this self-insurance program of $26,617.
The Companys objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. During the year ended December 31, 2003, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a portion of the Companys variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2003, the Company did not have any derivatives designated as fair value hedges. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date to determine the fair value of the derivative instruments. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. Future cash inflows or outflows from the derivative instruments depend upon future borrowing rates. If assumptions about future borrowing rates prove to be materially incorrect, the recorded value of these agreements could also prove to be
F-8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except share amounts)
materially incorrect. Because the Company uses the derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to increases in variable interest rates, thus effectively fixing a portion of its variable interest rates, the impact of changes in future borrowing rates could result in interest expense being either higher or lower than might otherwise have been incurred on the variable-rate borrowings had the rates not been fixed. A reduction in interest rates could result in a competitive advantage for companies in a position to take advantage of a lower cost of capital.
The Company is a defendant in lawsuits that arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of its business. Management uses judgment, with the aid of legal counsel, to record accruals for losses that the Company considers to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated, as a result of any pending actions against the Company.
Investment in Real Estate and Related Improvements
The hotel properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets of 35 to 40 years for the hotel buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. These estimated useful lives are based on managements knowledge of the properties and the industry in general.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in operations.
Interest associated with borrowings used to finance substantial hotel renovations is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets. Interest of $3,852 was capitalized in 2001. No interest was capitalized in 2003 and 2002 as there were no substantial hotel renovations.
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of each property to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that the assets might be impaired. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will prepare projections of undiscounted cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property, to determine if the amounts estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying amount based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset. When management identifies an asset held for sale, the Company estimates the net selling price of such asset. If the net selling price of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a reserve for loss is established. Depreciation is no longer recorded once management has identified an asset held for sale. Net selling price is estimated as the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold (fair value) less costs to sell. Fair value is determined at prevailing market conditions, appraisals or current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers, if appropriate. The Company recorded impairment of $163,363, $38,013 and $24,159 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes real estate tax, insurance, interest and capital reserve deposits required pursuant to certain of the Companys mortgage loan and lease requirements. Included in restricted cash at December 31, 2003 is $25,892 of net proceeds received from the sale of Marriott Philadelphia West that was part of a portfolio of thirteen hotels sold in 2002. The $25,892 will be used to make payments on such debt, refinance all or any portion of the debt and/or extend maturities and amortization payments in accordance with the credit facilities.

Inventories
Inventories consist of food, beverages, china, linen, glassware and silverware and are stated at cost, which approximates market.
Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The Companys investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries includes investments in five entities ranging from approximately 1% to 50%. Investments in partnerships and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting when the Company has a 20% or more ownership interest or exercises significant influence over the venture. If the Companys ownership is less than 20% and does not exercise significant influence, the investment is accounted for under the cost method.
Our investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries is periodically reviewed for other than temporary declines in market value. For any decline that is considered other than temporary, an impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. Estimated fair values are based on projections of cash flows and market capitalization rates.
Intangibles
Goodwill was recognized in connection with the acquisition of certain businesses and was amortized utilizing the straight-line method over a period of 10 to 40 years. However, on January 1, 2002, the Company completed the two step process prescribed by SFAS 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for (1) testing for impairment and (2) determining the amount of impairment loss related to goodwill associated with the reporting unit. Accordingly, in January 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $324,102 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company did not record $12,136 of amortization in 2002, and will not be recording $12,136 of amortization annually. Upon implementation of SFAS 142, the Company identified finite lived intangible assets related to its trade names and determined that there was no indication of impairment on these finite lived intangible assets.
The costs associated with the acquisition of management contracts and trade names have been recorded as deferred costs. Amortization of management contracts is computed using the straight-line method over the term of the related management agreements. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company recognized a charge for the remaining unamortized cost of management contracts lost of $1,946, $6,445 and $7,408, respectively. Amortization of trade names costs is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 years.
The costs associated with the acquisition of leaseholds for hotel properties leased from third party owners have been recorded as deferred costs. Leasehold costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leasehold agreement. During 2003 and 2001, the Company recognized a charge for the remaining unamortized cost of leasehold contracts lost of $153,909 and $4,057, respectively. In addition, the Company took an impairment charge of $22,000 for the remaining book value of the leasehold costs associated with leases on six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham that were terminated in March 2004 (see Subsequent Event footnote).

The Company reviews the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite lives including management contracts and leasehold costs whenever events or changes in circumstances arise that indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset that the Company expects to hold and use may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future cash outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of its intangible assets to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that a revision of the remaining amortization period is warranted.

Deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis (which approximates the interest method) over the terms of the related loans, which range from two to ten years. Franchise costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related franchise agreements.
Other Assets
Security deposits paid in connection with certain leasehold agreements of approximately $38,897 are included in long-term other assets as of December 31, 2002. These leasehold agreements were terminated on May 12, 2003 and the related security deposits were forfeited.
Advance Deposits
Deposits represent cash received from guests for future hotel reservations at the hotels that Wyndham owns and leases.
Income Taxes
Wyndham records its provision for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse (see Note 11).
Minority Interest in the Operating Partnerships
Minority interest in the Operating Partnerships includes adjustments for the minority partners share of the net income (loss) as defined by the partnership agreement and certain other adjustments for the issuance or redemption of OP units.
Minority Interest in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries
The Company has entered into a number of joint ventures in which a third party owns a minority interest. For financial reporting purposes, the financial position and results of operations for each joint venture are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share disclosures for all periods presented have been calculated in accordance with requirements of SFAS No. 128. Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Shares of common stock granted to officers and employees of the Company are included in the computation only after the shares become fully vested. Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods presented. The diluted earnings per share computations also include the dilutive impact of options to purchase common stock which were outstanding during the period calculated by the treasury stock method, unvested stock grants and other restricted awards to officers and employees and convertible preferred shares (see Note 6).
Stock Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and intends to

continue to do so. At December 31, 2003, no stock-based employee compensation cost is charged to earnings for options, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Companys stock option-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the method pursuant to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Companys net loss and loss per common share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Revenue Recognition
The Company primarily owns, operates and manages hotel properties. Revenue is generally recognized when rooms are occupied and as services are performed. Hotel revenue consists primarily of room rentals, food and beverage sales and other activities from owned and leased hotels. Management and service fees primarily represent management and franchise fees earned from third-party owned hotels managed by the Company. Management fees include a base fee, which is generally a percentage of hotel revenue, and an incentive fee, which is generally based on the hotels profitability. The Company recognizes base fees as revenue when earned in accordance with the terms of the contract. Incentive fees are not recognized until the end of the year based on the hotels annual profitability. Franchise fees represent fees in connection with the franchise of our brand from third-party owners. We recognize franchise fee revenue in accordance with SFAS 45, Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue. Initial franchise fees are recognized when substantially all of the initial services or conditions relating to the franchise contract have been performed or satisfied. Continuing franchise fees are recognized as the fees are earned and become receivable from the franchise. Payments received in advance of revenue being earned under the franchise agreements are deferred and classified in accrued expenses.
Foreign Currency Translation
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries not maintained using U.S. dollars are remeasured into the U.S. dollar functional currency for consolidation and reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of non-U.S. operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in shareholders equity. Realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in results of operations.

Advertising Costs
The Company participates in various advertising and marketing programs. Production costs of commercials are charged to operations in the period during which the commercial is first aired. The costs of other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed in the period incurred. The Company has recognized advertising expenses of $28,995, $37,201 and $46,089 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Self Insurance
The Company is self-insured for various levels of general liability, automobile liability, workers compensation and employee medical coverage up to certain levels. Accrued expenses include the estimated cost from unpaid incurred claims.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations
The Company currently invests primarily in hotel properties. The hotel industry is highly competitive and the Companys hotel investments are subject to competition from other hotels for guests. Each of the Companys hotels competes for guests primarily with other similar hotels in its immediate vicinity and other similar hotels in its geographic market. The Company believes that brand recognition, location, quality of the hotel, services provided and price are the principal competitive factors affecting its hotel investments.
The Companys financial instrument exposure to concentration of credit risk consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Companys funds are deposited with high-credit-quality financial institutions and at times, these funds may be in excess of the federal depository insurance limit.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107 requires disclosures about the fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2003. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Management estimates the fair values of (i) accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments; (ii) the notes receivable approximate carrying value based upon effective borrowing rates for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities; and (iii) the borrowings under the revolving credit facility, term loan and various other mortgage notes approximate carrying value because these borrowings accrue interest at floating interest rates based on market. The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt generally using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Companys current borrowing rates for debt with similar maturities. The estimated fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2003 was approximately $201,501.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
On January 1, 2001, the Company changed its method of accounting for its derivative instruments in accordance with its adoption of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and No. 138.
On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, it designates the derivative as a hedge of (a) a forecasted transaction or (b) the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge). Currently, the Company has only entered into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction (e.g., until periodic settlements of a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the changes in the fair value of the derivative exceed the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction) is recorded in current-period earnings. Changes in the fair value of non-hedging instruments are reported in current-period earnings.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to (1) specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or (2) specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses (both at the hedges inception and on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. When it is determined that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item (including hedged items such as firm commitments or forecasted transactions); (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.
When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur in the originally expected period, the gain or loss on the derivative remains in accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. However, if it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter, the gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income will be recognized immediately in earnings. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company will carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the fair value in current-period earnings.
Seasonality
The hotel industry is seasonal in nature; however, the periods during which the Companys hotel properties experience higher revenues vary from property to property and depend predominantly on the propertys location. The Companys revenues typically have been higher in the first and second quarters than in the third and fourth quarters.

Recent Pronouncements
The Company implemented the provisions of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, in 2002. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 144, gains and losses on long-lived assets classified as held for sale subsequent to January 1, 2002, the effective date of SFAS 144, were classified as gains or losses from the disposal of discontinued operations. Certain gains and losses on long-lived assets classified as held for sale that were disposed of during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, have been classified in continued operations because they were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2001 and restatement of prior periods is not permitted under SFAS 144.
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 145, Rescission of SFAS 4, 44 and 66, Amendment of SFAS 13 and Technical Correction. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4, 44 and 64 and amends SFAS 13 to modify the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS 4 required the classification of gains and losses resulting from extinguishment of debt to be classified as extraordinary items. Pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 145, the Company reclassified amounts shown as extraordinary for the year ended December 31, 2001 to continuing operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In response to a growing number of companies announcing plans to record expenses for the fair value of stock options, SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock based compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 to require more prominent disclosure about the effects of an entitys accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income. Finally, SFAS 148 amends APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. The amendments to SFAS 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company made the disclosure required by the provisions of SFAS 148 on page F-12 under Stock Compensation.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46. The objective of FIN 46 is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a companys consolidated financial statements. A company that holds a variable interest in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the companys interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIEs expected losses and/or receive a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosure by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The disclosure provisions of FIN 46 became effective upon issuance. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after March 15, 2004 to existing VIEs. The Company did not establish any variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. The Company is in the process of evaluating all of its lease, management and joint venture relationships that existed prior to January 31, 2003 in order to determine whether the entities are VIEs and whether the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary or whether it holds a significant variable interest. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that its interest in one management contract (Wyndham Anatole) is a VIE where the Company is the primary beneficiary, which will require consolidation under FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. Had consolidation been required as of December 31, 2003, the Company would have recorded assets of $150,702, liabilities of $201,165 and minority interest of $(50,463). In the unlikely event that the Company terminated the management contract and all of the underlying assets related to this contract had no value, the Company estimates that its maximum

exposure to loss would approximate $92,314, primarily representing the net carrying value of the Companys investment in the Wyndham Anatole at December 31, 2003. However, the Company expects to recover the recorded amount of the investment in the Wyndham Anatole. As the Company finalizes its evaluation of the impact of applying FIN 46, additional entities may be identified that would need to be consolidated by the Company.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. The new guidance amends SFAS 133 for decisions made: (a) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to SFAS 133, (b) in connection with other Board projects dealing with financial instruments, and (c) regarding implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, particularly regarding the meaning of an underlying derivative and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. The amendments set forth in SFAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with a few exceptions) and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The guidance is to be applied prospectively. The Companys adoption of SFAS 149 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. SFAS 150 is effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, SFAS 150 goes into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity. For contracts that were created or modified before May 31, 2003 and still exist at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, entities should record the transition to SFAS 150 by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. SFAS 150 prohibits entities from restating financial statements for earlier years presented. On October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred the provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 of SFAS 150 as they apply to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Those provisions require that mandatorily redeemable minority interests within the scope of SFAS 150 be classified as a liability on a parent companys financial statement in certain situations, including when a finite-lived entity is consolidated. The deferral of those provisions is expected to remain in effect while certain issues are addressed in either Phase II of the FASBs Liabilities and Equity project or Phase II of the FASBs Business Combinations Project. However, the FASB did not defer the disclosure provisions relating to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS 150, if the Company liquidates the consolidated subsidiaries in which there exists a minority interest, the Company would be required to pay approximately $23,146 in cash. Such amount is lower than the carrying amount of the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries by $16,835.
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on previously reported amounts of income or retained earnings.

Management classifies certain assets as held for sale based on management having the authority and intent of entering into commitments for sale transactions expected to close in the next twelve months. At December 31, 2003, certain assets were classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the impairment for assets held for sale totaled $11,405 and $37,851, respectively. The assets held for sale had income from operations of $24,500 and $6,106 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, net of amounts owned by third party limited partners.
The Company continues to evaluate the assets in its total portfolio as well as to pursue an orderly disposition of its held for sale assets. There can be no assurance if or when sales will be completed or whether such sales will be completed on terms that will enable the Company to realize the full carrying value of such assets.
Asset Sales
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company sold its investments in eighteen hotels, certain undeveloped land and a golf venture in separate transactions. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $107,386, after the repayment of mortgage debt of approximately $114,878. The Company recorded a net gain of $4,552 as a result of these asset sales. Also, $68,282 of the net cash proceeds was used by the Company to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and the Company retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, leases on 27 hotel properties (15 Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham and 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels) operated by two subsidiaries of the Company were terminated by Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT). HPT rebranded 14 of 15 Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham to a third-party brand on October 6, 2003, and one property remains a Summerfield Suite pursuant to a franchise agreement with HPT. Under a final settlement agreement, the 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels will be rebranded to a third-party brand during 2004. On an annualized basis, based upon

projections for the calendar year 2003, the estimated positive impact on cash flow of the lease terminations to the subsidiaries of the Company is $14,300. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the terminations resulted in a non-cash write-off of approximately $153,909 for the leases remaining book value.
During 2002, the Company sold seven hotels and an investment in a restaurant venture, in separate transactions, for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $60,125, after repayment of approximately $65,659 of mortgage debt. In addition, the Company sold thirteen hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $202,467 after repayment of approximately $224,113 of mortgage debt. As a result of asset sales, the Company recorded a net loss of $3,699. Also, $166,254 of the net cash proceeds from the asset sales was used by the Company to pay down a portion of its senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility and $36,141 was placed in escrow under the terms of the senior credit facility for application by the Company in the future to payments on existing mortgage indebtedness. As of December 31, 2003, $10,264 of such net cash proceeds has been applied in payment of existing mortgage indebtedness.
During 2001, the Company sold six hotels, a sewer company and investments in four hotels for net cash proceeds of $100,531 after repayment of approximately $21,800 of mortgage debt. In addition, the Company exchanged six hotels with a net book value of $70,134, for one hotel with an estimated fair value of $61,308. As a result of asset sales and the exchange, the Company recorded a net loss of $13,205, net of previously recorded impairments of $89,354.
Interstate
During 2000, Wyndham agreed to the redemption of its aggregate 55% non-voting economic interest (the Wyndham Interest) in Interstate Hotels, LLC (IH LLC), a principal operating subsidiary of Interstate Hotel Company (IHC). IH LLC transferred to Wyndham a management agreement for one hotel owned by Wyndham and amended management agreements with respect to six other hotels owned by Wyndham to reduce the management fees and to permit termination by the owner upon 30 days notice. In addition, approximately 9% of the Wyndham Interest was redeemed by IH LLC and substantially all of the remainder was converted into a preferred membership interest in IH LLC. As additional consideration for the redemption and conversion of the Wyndham Interest, Wyndham caused its representative on IHCs Board of Directors to resign and relinquished its right to appoint a member to IHCs Board of Directors in the future. In addition, Wyndham granted IHC an option exercisable within 90 days of October 20, 2000, to acquire all of IHCs stock owned by Wyndham at a weighted average trading price per share, provided that the purchase price not be less than $3.00 per share nor more than $4.00 per share. On December 3, 2000, the common stock was acquired for approximately $597. On July 12, 2001, IH LLC, pursuant to a redemption agreement, called for the redemption of Wyndhams preferred interest in IH LLC. In consideration for the redemption, Wyndham received $8,250 in cash and two promissory notes in the amounts of $750 and $3,682, respectively. The notes were repaid in May 2002 and June 2002, respectively, by IHC. The Company recorded a gain of $2,003, net of previously recorded impairment of $16,499. The portion of the Wyndham Interest that was not converted into a preferred membership interest will remain outstanding. Thereafter, at any time on or after July 1, 2004, both IH LLC and Wyndham have the right to require that IH LLC redeem the remaining 1% non-controlling common interest at an amount that is the lesser of (a) the product of (i) five times IH LLCs EBITDA as of December 31, 2003 and (ii) the percentage of total equity interest in IH LLC which is represented by the remaining 1% non-controlling common interest, or (b) approximately $433.

On May 29, 2003, the Company entered into a fifth amendment and restatement of its term loan and revolving credit facility and a fourth amendment of its increasing rate loans facility. The amendments provided for the extension of the maturity dates of the Companys revolving and increasing rate loans facility held by consenting lenders (previously scheduled to occur on June 30, 2004) to April 1, 2006 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the principal repayment of $200,190 of the term and increasing rate facilities before February 29, 2004. On December 9, 2003, the Company satisfied all conditions precedent necessary to affect an extension of the consenting lenders maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and the increasing rate loans to April 1, 2006. Loans held by non-consenting lenders totaling approximately $19,000 will retain the original maturity date of June 30, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the amended credit facilities, the Company has retained an amount sufficient to satisfy such $19,000 debt at maturity from the net cash proceeds of asset sales and refinancings. The proceeds of asset sales and refinancings were the primary sources of funds for the $200,190 principal repayment and the $19,000 reserve for the June 30, 2004 maturities. In connection with the maturity extensions, the available commitments under the Companys revolving credit facility have been reduced by $85,000. Over 95% of the revolving and increasing rate lenders voted in favor of the amendments. Also, consenting lenders will receive an increase in interest rate and certain fees as set forth in the amended credit facilities, including a 2% fee to be paid at maturity based upon the sum of the revolving commitments and outstanding terms loans, if any, as of June 30, 2005.
Pursuant to the terms of the amended credit facilities in effect following the maturity extensions described above, the Company may retain some or all of the net cash proceeds from asset sales and refinancings of existing mortgage indebtedness (other than the credit facilities) up to $22,500 to be used to repay the non-consenting lenders at the June 2004 original maturity date as long as the Company maintains a pro forma minimum revolving credit facility commitment availability after giving effect to such retention. As of January 15, 2004, the Company has retained $22,500 to satisfy the non-consenting lenders at the June 2004 original maturity date from the net cash proceeds of asset sales and refinancings. The Company may retain all or any portion of the reserved amount in the event the outstanding balance of the loans held by non-consenting lenders is less than the reserved amount as of the June 2004 maturity date. Following the retention described above, the Company will apply net cash proceeds in the following manner: first, the initial $20,000 of asset sale proceeds each year may be retained by the Company, provided that the second $10,000 of the $20,000 may be retained only if the Companys liquidity falls below a certain level set forth in the credit facilities; second, subject to certain limitations set forth in the credit facilities including maximum Company liquidity levels, the Company may elect to retain up to 25% of such net cash proceeds with the balance applied to repay indebtedness under the credit facilities, up to a maximum of $35,000 a year; third, to repay scheduled term loan payments; fourth, after the Company has retained $35,000 in such year, or if the Company is not permitted to retain a percentage of the asset sale or refinancing proceeds as a result of the limitations set forth in the credit facilities, 100% of such proceeds must be applied to repay indebtedness under the credit facilities on a pro-rata basis. The Company also agreed to use 100% of the net cash proceeds from new debt issuances (other than refinancings of existing mortgage indebtedness which will be applied in accordance with the previous sentence) to reduce outstanding indebtedness under the credit facilities on a pro rata basis.
On June 11, 2003, the Company completed a $425,000 mortgage refinancing secured by 19 hotel properties. The loan was made by affiliates of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., bears interest at the rate set forth in Note 4, footnote 8 and has an initial maturity date of June 9, 2005. The Company, in its sole discretion, may extend the maturity date of the loan to as late as July 9, 2008. The loan refinanced the two mortgage pools that were scheduled to mature on July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004, respectively.
On November 6, 2003, the Company refinanced the Wyndham Condado Plaza mortgage debt totaling $36,545 as of September 30, 2003, with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. A portion of the excess proceeds

received from the Condado refinancing was used to pay down $23,500 of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan. The new loan totaling $94,500 bears interest at LlBOR plus 4.25% with a 2% LIBOR floor and matures on November 6, 2005. The Company, solely at its option, can extend the maturity date for three one year periods.
5. Derivatives:
The Company manages its debt portfolio by using interest rate caps and swaps to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates. The fair value of interest rate hedge contracts is estimated based on quotes from the market makers of these instruments and represents the estimated amounts the Company would expect to receive or pay to terminate the contracts. Credit and market risk exposures are limited to the net interest differentials and counterparty risk. At December 31, 2003, the estimated fair value of the interest rate hedges represented a liability of $56,760. The Company has no embedded derivatives under SFAS 133, as amended, at December 31, 2003.

This contingent obligation is supported by a $21,000 letter of credit issued by the Company. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has not incurred any such obligation.
Contingencies
On May 7, 1999, Doris Johnson and Charles Dougherty filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California against Patriot, Wyndham, their respective operating partnerships and PaineWebber Group, Inc. This action, Johnson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2153, was commenced on behalf of all former holders of Bay Meadows stock during a class period from June 2, 1997 to the date of filing. The action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that the purported class members were wrongfully induced to tender their shares as part of the Patriot/Bay Meadows merger based on a fraudulent prospectus. The action seeks unspecified damages and further alleges that defendants continued to defraud shareholders about their intentions to acquire numerous hotels and saddle the Company with massive debt during the class period. Three other actions against the same defendants subsequently were filed in the Northern District of California: (i) Ansell v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2239 (filed May 14, 1999), (ii) Sola v. PaineWebber Group, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2770 (filed June 11, 1999), and (iii) Gunderson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C 99-3040 (filed June 23, 1999). Another action with substantially identical allegations, Susnow v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1354-T (filed June 15, 1999) also subsequently was filed in the Northern District of Texas. By order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions along with certain actions identified below have been consolidated in the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 13, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the court granted in part and denied in part Defendants motion to dismiss. The Court did not dismiss certain of Plaintiffs claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An answer to the complaint has been filed. No discovery has been taken yet and the Court has not yet certified a class. The Company intends to defend the suits vigorously. These suits may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to the Company.

On or about June 22, 1999, a lawsuit captioned Levitch v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1416-D, was filed in the Northern District of Texas against Patriot, Wyndham, James D. Carreker and Paul A. Nussbaum. This action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that, during the period from January 5, 1998 to December 17, 1998, the defendants defrauded shareholders by issuing false statements about the Company. The complaint sought unspecified damages and was filed on behalf of all shareholders who purchased Patriot American and Wyndham stock during that period. Three other actions, Gallagher v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1429-L, filed on June 23, 1999, David Lee Meisenburg, et al. v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., Wyndham International, Inc., James D. Carreker, and Paul A. Nussbaum Case No. 3-99-CV1686-X, filed July 27, 1999 and Deborah Szekely v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1866-D, filed on or about August 27, 1999, allege substantially the same allegations. By orders of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions have been consolidated with certain other shareholder actions and transferred to the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 20, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the court dismissed in its entirety the complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to amend. On or about December 2, 2002, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. No discovery has been taken yet and the Court has not yet certified a class. The Company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with class counsel to settle the litigation. The memorandum of understanding is subject to definitive documentation and court approval. Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding, the Company shall pay $2,500 in cash when an order is entered by the court preliminarily approving the proposed settlement and an additional $2,500 on or before the second anniversary of the final court approval. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has established an adequate reserve to cover the cost of the settlement.
On May 29, 2002, the State of Florida Office of the Attorney General Department of Legal Affairs filed a lawsuit in Leon County, Florida (Case No. 02-CA-1296) naming the Company, Patriot and four current or former Wyndham employees as defendants. In this case, the Attorney General alleged that the imposition of energy surcharges, resort fees and automatic service fees violates the States Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The Company filed a motion to dismiss this suit which was granted in part and the individual defendants were dismissed. The Attorney General has appealed the dismissal of the individual defendants. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and have opposed the appeal. Discovery is on-going. This suit may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to the Company.
On June 20, 2002, plaintiffs in the case entitled Roller-Edelstein, et al. v. Wyndham International, Inc., et al., filed an amended complaint in Dallas County District Court (case no. 02-04946-A) alleging that supplemental fees charged to hotel guests constituted common law fraud, breach of contract and violated Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiffs claim to represent a nationwide class and have estimated damages in excess of $10,000. The Company has answered this complaint, but no formal discovery has been taken yet and the court has not yet certified a class. The Company anticipates vigorously defending this lawsuit. This suit may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to the Company.
On February 18, 2003, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County, by Joseph Lopez and Alberto Jose Martinez, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, against Wyndham International, Inc., et al alleging that the Company violated certain provisions of the California Labor Code and the California Business and Professions Code concerning wage and hour requirements. The plaintiffs claim to represent a class. The plaintiffs also allege the Company breached a fiduciary duty to them and the other class members by seeking to take undue advantage of them by failing to pay them appropriate wages. The plaintiffs
F-27

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except share amounts)
seek compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of themselves and the class in an unspecified amount for all causes of action. An answer to the complaint has been filed and discovery has commenced. The parties conducted an early mediation of this matter and have agreed to the terms of a settlement, which will require court approval. The settlement would require the Company to pay $2,500 to the plaintiffs. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has adequate reserves to cover the amount. The Company anticipates concluding the settlement process during the first half of 2004.
On or about June 8, 2003, the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General notified Wyndham that a complaint had been filed with its Fair Labor and Practices Division against Wyndhams Westborough, Massachusetts location. According to the Office of the Attorney General, the complaint alleged that Wyndham-Westborough had violated certain provisions of Massachusetts wage payment laws (Massachusetts General Statutes c. 149, § 152A) by failing to remit to its employees all amounts owed by statute. On or about January 2, 2004, Wyndham received notice of a second Attorney General complaint also alleging a violation of c. 149, 152A, this time with respect to all of Wyndhams Massachusetts hotels. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend against these complaints, the Company has nevertheless fully cooperated with the Attorney Generals office by providing it with documents and other information in hopes of quickly resolving these matters. Because the Office of the Attorney General does not disclose information regarding complaints made to it, it remains unclear exactly who the complainants are, how many complainants are involved, and what the complaints allege. As such, it is impossible at this time to determine the exposure Wyndham could face in these matters.
The Company is a party to a number of other claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business. However, the Company does not consider the ultimate liability with respect to these other claims and lawsuits to be material in relation to the consolidated financial condition or operations of the Company.
8. Related Party Transactions:
Transactions with Certain Wyndham Directors
During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company received hotel management and service fees in the aggregate amount of approximately $4,000, $4,242 and $6,133, respectively, from the owners of hotels in which Karim Alibhai, Rolf Ruhfus, Sherwood Weiser or Milton Fine holds an ownership interest.
Norman Brownstein, one of our directors, serves as chairman of Brownstein Hyatt & Farber P.C., a law firm that has advised the Company on certain matters related to litigation and real property transactions. During 2003, the Company paid Brownstein Hyatt & Farber, P.C. approximately $139 in legal fees.
In connection with the merger of IHC and Patriot, IHC, Patriot, Mr. Fine and certain other parties entered into a shareholders agreement, dated December 2, 1997. Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders agreement, Patriot must indemnify Mr. Fine for certain tax liabilities until December 2, 2007 or Mr. Fines death, whichever occurs first. The amounts to be paid, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.
In connection with the sale on August 16, 1996 of certain property to the Company from an entity affiliated with Mr. Alibhai, the Company granted the entity affiliated with Mr. Alibhai a profit participation interest. If the Company sells, exchanges or enters into a similar transaction with respect to the property and receives the minimum return set forth in the governing agreement, the entity affiliated with Mr. Alibhai will be entitled to receive 25% of the proceeds in excess of the minimum return. The amounts to be paid, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

In September 2003, the Company entered into a consulting agreement, which has a term of two years, with Lynn Swann. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, Mr. Swann agreed to, among other things, make a certain number of personal appearances on the Companys behalf as well as make himself available for a certain number of advertisements in order to promote the Company. In return for his services, the Company must pay Mr. Swann $250 per year. In addition, on September 1, 2003, the Company granted Mr. Swann 100,000 restricted shares of its class A common stock.

Loans to Certain Wyndham Executive Officers
In 1999, in connection with his employment agreement, the Company loaned Mr. Kleisner $500 pursuant to a recourse note for use in purchasing a residence in Dallas, Texas. The note bears no interest. In 1999 and 2001, in connection with his employment agreement, the Company also loaned Mr. Kleisner $850 and $665, respectively, pursuant to nonrecourse notes. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to the rate on the Companys senior credit facility. Despite the fact that the $850 note is non-recourse and has no personal liability to Mr. Kleisner, he repaid the note in full (principal plus accrued interest) on December 31, 2002, solely from his personal funds. As of December 31, 2003, principal and accrued interest in the amount of $1,262 remained outstanding on these loans.
In 2000, in connection with his employment agreement, the Company loaned Mr. Teng $1,000 pursuant to a recourse note.

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, subject to Mr. Tengs continuing employment, the Company has agreed to forgive the principal amount of the note and all accrued but unpaid interest on such forgiven principal amount in equal monthly installments over a three-year period. The note was fully amortized as of December 31, 2003.
In 2001, in connection with his employment agreement, the Company loaned Mr. Champ $250 pursuant to a recourse note. The note bears no interest. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, subject to Mr. Champs continuing employment, the Company has agreed to forgive the principal amount of the note in equal annual installments over a five-year period. In addition, the Company also loaned Mr. Champ $450 pursuant to a nonrecourse note. The note bears interest at a rate equal to the rate on the senior credit facility. As of December 31, 2003, principal and accrued interest in the amount of $600 remained outstanding on these loans.
Apollo Investors

In 2000, the Company entered into a time share agreement with Tempus Resorts International, Ltd. (Tempus), an entity affiliated with the Apollo Investors. The time share operates under the name Wyndham Vacation Club. During 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized fees in the aggregate amount of $470 and $32, respectively.
9. Minority Interest in the Operating Partnerships:
Pursuant to the Operating Partnerships respective limited partnership agreements, the common limited partners of the Operating Partnerships, including certain affiliates of Patriot, received rights (the Redemption Rights) that enable them to cause the Operating Partnerships to redeem each pair of OP units (consisting of one OP unit of the Patriot Partnership and the one OP unit of the Wyndham Partnership) in exchange for cash equal to the value of a paired share (or, at the Companys election, the Company may purchase each pair of OP units
F-29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except share amounts)
offered for redemption for one share of common stock). In the case of the Wyndham Partnerships Class A preferred OP units and Class C preferred OP units described below, each of these preferred OP units may be redeemed for cash equal to the value of a share (or, at Wyndhams election, Wyndham may purchase each preferred OP unit offered for redemption for one share of common stock). The Redemption Rights generally may be exercised at any time after one year following the issuance of the OP units. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Redemption Rights will be adjusted for share splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro rata transactions which would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners of the Operating Partnerships or the shareholders of the Company.
During 2003 and 2002, 145,293 and 50,949 OP units, respectively, in the Patriot Partnership and Wyndham Partnership were redeemed for cash of $79 and $48, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, the Patriot Partnership and Wyndham Partnership had 943,005 OP units that were held by minority partners, which represent the minority interest in the operating partnerships.
10. Shareholders Equity:
Capital Stock
The Company has the authority to issue 750,000,000 shares of class A common stock, 750,000,000 shares of class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 150,000,000 shares of series A and series B preferred stock, par value $0.01.
The series B preferred stock has the following terms, among others:
| dividends payable quarterly, on a cumulative basis, at a rate of 9.75% per year; |
| for the first six years, the dividends are structured to ensure an aggregate fixed cash dividend payment of $29,250 per year, so long as there is no redemption or conversion of the investors series B preferred stock; therefore, for that period, dividends are payable partly in cash and partly in additional shares of series B preferred stock, with the cash component initially equal to 30% for the first dividend and declining over the period to approximately 19.8% for the final dividend in year six; |
| for the next four years, dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of series B preferred stock as determined by the Board of Directors; and, after year 10, dividends are payable solely in cash; |
| if any dividends are paid on the Wyndham class A common stock, additional dividends will be paid in the amount that would have been paid on the shares of Wyndham class A common stock into which the series B preferred stock is then convertible; |
| if a change in control or a liquidation of Wyndham occurs within six years following the investment, any dividends remaining for the six years will be accelerated and paid; |
| not redeemable by Wyndham for six years, except that up to $300 million of the series B preferred stock may be redeemed during the 170 day period following the closing of the investment; |
| voting with the Wyndham common stock on an as-converted basis on matters submitted to the common stockholders and voting as a separate class on specified matters, with special rules applying to the election of directors; and |
| convertible, at the holders option, into a number of shares of Wyndham class A common stock equal to $100.00 divided by the conversion price, initially equal to $8.59 but subject to potential downward adjustments. |

For a period of 170 days following the completion of the investment, Wyndham was entitled to redeem up to $300 million of the series B preferred stock at a redemption price of $102.00 per share (102% of the stated amount) plus all accrued dividends, with the proceeds from a rights offering. The rights offering was completed with the issuance by Wyndham of 55,992 shares of series A preferred stock. Wyndham redeemed 55,992 shares of series B preferred stock. The series A preferred stock generally has the same economic terms as the series B preferred stock but has no voting rights, except as required by law and except for a limited right to elect two directors if dividends are in arrears for six quarterly periods.
Shareholder Rights Agreement
Wyndham is party to a Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of June 29, 1999 (the Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Board of Directors of Wyndham declared (a) for each outstanding share of common stock of Wyndham outstanding on July 9, 1999 (the Record Date), a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a Right), and (b) for each outstanding share of Wyndham series A or series B preferred stock outstanding on the Record Date, a dividend distribution of a number of Rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each such share is convertible. In addition, Rights will automatically attach to each share of common stock, series A preferred stock and series B preferred issued between the Record Date and the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement). Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase from Wyndham one one-thousandth of a share of series C participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a cash exercise price of $35.00, subject to adjustment. The Rights may only become exercisable under certain circumstances involving actual or potential acquisitions of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the class A common stock, subject to certain exceptions. The Rights will expire in June 2009 unless earlier exercised or redeemed.
Dividends and Stock Splits
The Company does not anticipate paying a dividend to the common shareholders and is prohibited under the terms of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying dividends on the class A common stock. Also, the Company is prohibited under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying the cash portion of any dividends on the preferred stock. However, the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to receive on a quarterly basis a dividend equal to 9.75% per annum on a cumulative basis payable in cash and additional shares of preferred stock. In addition, according to the terms of the series A and B preferred stock, if the cash dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, then an additional amount of dividends shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until such time as all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional dividends shall be cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company issued stock dividends of approximately 990,964 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $99,096. The Company deferred payment of the cash portion of the dividends of approximately $29,227. In addition, the Company issued an additional stock dividend of 272,592 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $27,259 in payment of additional dividends at a rate of 2.0% per annum as cash dividends on the preferred stock were in arrears for at least 60 days as of December 31, 2003.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued stock dividends of approximately 900,529 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $90,053. The Company deferred payment of the cash portion of the dividends of approximately $17,658. In addition, the Company issued an additional stock

dividend of 365,059 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $36,506 in payment of additional dividends at a rate of 2.0% per annum as cash dividends on the preferred stock were in arrears for at least 60 days as of December 31, 2002.
As of December 31, 2003, the deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaled approximately $73,100 and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company has adopted certain employee incentive programs for the purpose of (i) attracting and retaining employees, directors and others, (ii) providing incentives to those deemed important to the success of the Company and (iii) associating the interests of these individuals with the interests of the Company and its shareholders through opportunities for increased stock ownership. Certain of the stock options and restricted stock grants issued under the incentive stock programs vested and became non-forfeitable with consummation of the $1 billion equity investment.
The 1997 Incentive Plans. Prior to their amendment in 1999, the 1997 Incentive Plans provided for the award of stock options, stock awards or performance shares to each eligible employee and director of Patriot and Old Wyndham. Under each 1997 Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of paired shares available for grants of awards was the sum of (i) 3,000,000 paired shares plus (ii) 10% of any future net increase in the total number of shares of paired common stock.
Under the 1997 Incentive Plans, each independent director could elect to take all or a portion of his/her fees in the form of deferred paired share units. Prior to the amendment in 1999, the independent directors of Patriot and Old Wyndham were automatically granted a non-qualified stock option, immediately exercisable in full, to acquire 10,000 paired shares at an exercise price per paired share equal to the fair market value of a paired share on the date of grant. Option terms were fixed by the Compensation Committees of Patriot and Old Wyndham and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant.
On June 29, 1999, the 1997 Incentive Plans were amended, as a result of Patriots merger into Wyndham. As part of the merger, Wyndham assumed Patriots obligations under each existing option to purchase shares of Patriot common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger. The assumed options did not terminate in connection with the merger and continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the stock option plans and agreements in effect immediately prior to the merger. All references to Patriot in the assumed options are now deemed to be references to Wyndham and each option is exercisable for one share of Wyndham class A common stock.
On May 24, 2001, the stockholders approved the Second Amendment and Restatement of Wyndham International, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan (the Amended Plan). Among other things, the amendment increases the number of shares available for grant under the Amended Plan to an amount equal to 10.0% of the outstanding shares of class A common stock on a fully diluted basis. Under the Amended Plan, fully diluted basis means the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of series A and B convertible preferred stock, the assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options and the assumed conversion of all units of partnership interest in the Patriot Partnership and the Wyndham Partnership that are subject to redemption. The Amended Plan also permits the Compensation Committee to provide in the agreement governing a restricted unit award that following a change in control in which the shares of class A common stock are changed into or exchanged for a different
F-32

(dollars in thousands, except share amounts)
kind of stock or other securities or cash or other property, the unvested portion of a restricted unit award shall thereafter upon vesting be settled in stock, other securities, cash or other property upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.
The Amended Plan also (i) deleted certain provisions that by their terms are no longer applicable to the Company following the restructuring in June 1999, (ii) added a provision requiring that the Compensation Committee, which administers the Amended Plan, have at least two members, and (iii) made certain other minor provisions to the Amended Plan.
Stock Grant Awards
During 2003, 2002 and 2001 pursuant to the Amended Plan, the Board of Directors awarded 450,000, 3,351,250 and 10,837,476 (including those amounts awarded through the tender offer, discussed below) restricted awards, respectively, to certain officers and employees of the Company. The Company has recorded $2,480, $3,365 and $2,104 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, related to the restricted awards and such amount is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The restricted stock grants do not carry voting or dividend rights until vested. Subject to continued employment, vesting is 33% per year in years three, four and five and compensation expense is amortized ratably over five years.
Tender Offer
In November 2001, the Company offered a voluntary exchange program for certain eligible employees of the Company. Eligible employees holding options granted on or after January 1, 2000 under the Amended Plan were able to exchange those options for restricted unit awards. One restricted unit was granted for each share of class A common stock underlying the eligible options held by eligible employees. All tendered eligible options were cancelled upon the expiration of the offer on December 18, 2001. The restricted units were granted under the Amended Plan and will vest on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. The total number of eligible options to be tendered was 5,598,326, of which 5,324,976 were tendered. Compensation expense of $2,342,989 was calculated as the product of the number of restricted stock grants and the stock price on the date of grant. This amount is being amortized ratably over 5 years. The remaining 273,350 options that were not tendered are treated as variable awards following the accounting guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force 00-23 paragraph 167. Variable accounting commences for all existing awards when the offer is made and, for those awards that are retained by employees because the offer is declined, variable accounting continues until the award is exercised, is forfeited, or expires unexercised. The Company has recorded $192, $519 and $21 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, related to the restricted awards and such amount is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Stock Option Awards
As of December 31, 2003, pursuant to the incentive plans, the Company has authorized the grant of options for up to 14,531,549 shares. As of December 31, 2003, 12,626,227 options were exercisable at exercise prices of $0.61 to $30.40 per share; a total of 26,950 shares were issued pursuant to exercise of options at exercise prices of $0.48 and $0.29, resulting in net proceeds of $12. As of December 31, 2002, 11,331,429 options were exercisable at exercise prices of $0.61 to $30.40 per share; no options were exercised during 2002.
SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its compensatory employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant

using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 3.53%, 4.30% and 4.84%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Companys common stock of $1.232, $1.239 and $1.084, and a weighted average expected life of the options of 4 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair market value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options that have vesting periods and are non-transferable.
A summary of the Companys stock option activity, and related information for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is as follows:

The valuation allowance relates to net operating losses for which the Company believes that realization is uncertain. The valuation allowance increased $81,132 and $6,935 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
12. Employee Benefit Plans:
The Company sponsors 401(k) retirement savings plans. Employees who are over 21 years of age and have completed one year of service are eligible to participate in the plans.
