Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1

 

General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financials should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

 

Organization

 

Apple Hospitality Two, Inc. (the “Company”), a Virginia corporation, was formed on January 17, 2001, and its first investor closing was on May 1, 2001. The Company merged with Apple Suites, Inc. on January 31, 2003 and balances are reflected accordingly. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, permits real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) to establish taxable businesses to conduct certain previously disallowed business activities. The Company has formed a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Apple Hospitality Management, Inc., and has leased all of its hotels to Apple Hospitality Management, Inc. or its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lessee”).

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company recorded no comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 or 2003.

 

Stock Incentive Plans

 

As the exercise price of the Company’s stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock, the Company has not recognized any stock compensation expenses associated with its stock options during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the year. Series C convertible preferred convertible stock is included in basic and diluted earnings per common share as it is considered a common stock equivalent.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is operated as, and will annually elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and profits, which will determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation. The Lessees, as taxable REIT subsidiaries of the Company, are subject to federal and state income taxes. No federal income tax expense has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the Lessees had operating losses. No tax benefit has been recorded as realization of these benefits is uncertain.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Summary of Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46) and subsequently revised FIN 46 in December 2003. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46. The Company did not identify any variable interest entities (VIEs) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, thus, the Company was not required to consolidate any VIEs.

 

Note 2

 

Investment in Hotels

 

Redmond, Washington

 

Effective January 3, 2003, the Company acquired a Residence Inn ® by Marriott ® hotel in Redmond, Washington, which contains 180 suites and was in operation when acquired. The hotel offers one and two room suites with the amenities generally offered by upscale extended-stay hotels. It is located in a developed area near Seattle, Washington.

 

The gross purchase price for the hotel was $32,550,000. This amount was satisfied at closing by cash payments and other adjustments in the approximate amount of $12,550,000 and the assumption of existing secured debt.

 

Apple Suites, Inc.

 

The Company also entered into a merger agreement with Apple Suites on October 23, 2002. Effective January 31, 2003, Apple Suites merged with and into Hospitality Acquisition Company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Apple Suites owned, either directly or through its subsidiaries, a total of 17 upper-end extended-stay hotels throughout the United States, which comprised a total of 1,922 suites, and all of which are operated as part of the Homewood Suites® by Hilton® franchise system. The merger did not change the management positions Mr. Glade M. Knight held with the Company prior to the merger nor did the board of directors’ change as a result of the merger.

 

Pursuant to the merger, each Apple Suites common share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger, was converted into the right to receive either: (i) one unit of the Company, consisting of one common share of the Company and one Series A preferred share of the Company; or (ii) if the holder of an Apple Suites common share elected, $10.00 in cash, subject to a limit on the total amount of cash to be paid in the merger. As a result of the merger, holders of Apple Suites common shares received a total of 11.4 million Units (valued at $8 per share for accounting purposes) and approximately $17.8 million in cash, and the Company assumed Apple Suites’ liabilities and paid certain merger costs. The Company funded the cash portion of the merger consideration with available cash. Apple Suites’ assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value and no goodwill or intangible assets were recorded.

 

Also in connection with this transaction, the Company terminated its advisory contract with ASA and became self-advised. To implement the termination of the advisory agreement, the Company purchased ASA. The Company acquired all of Mr. Glade M. Knight’s stock in ASA instead of paying a $6.48 million termination fee due ASA under the advisory agreement. Mr. Knight received a cash payment of $2.0 million and a non-interest-bearing promissory note, due four years after the merger, in a principal amount of $4.48 million. The Company recognized an expense related to this transaction of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2003.

Table of Contents

In addition, 1,272,000 newly created Series C convertible preferred shares were issued in exchange for outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares. Holders of Series B convertible preferred shares would have otherwise been entitled to receive 1,272,000 Units upon conversion of their Series B convertible preferred shares in connection with the termination of the advisory agreement with ASA and termination of the brokerage service agreement with ASRG. The new Series C convertible preferred shares have a liquidation preference comparable to the Series B convertible preferred shares, in that holders of Series C convertible preferred shares receive no payments in a liquidation for their Series C convertible preferred shares until holders of Units are paid in full for their Series A preferred shares. The Series C convertible preferred shares have the same voting rights and rights to receive dividend distributions as if they had already been converted to common shares. The company recognized expense related to this transaction of $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2003.

 

Renovation Program

 

During 2003, the Company began a major renovation program at its hotel properties. During this program, suites are taken out of service while renovations are completed. During the time units are out of service, the Company capitalizes interest, taxes and insurance costs related to these units. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company capitalized approximately $579,998 and $948,814, respectively, in costs associated with rooms out of service.

 

Note 3

 

Shareholders’ Equity

 

In July 2004, the Company paid out $8.3 million, or $0.20 per share, as a distribution to its common shareholders.

 

During 2003, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to its shareholders. Redemption of Units, when requested, is made quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) the purchase price per unit that the shareholder actually paid for the unit (or the price that the shareholder actually paid for the Apple Suites, Inc. common shares, if the Units were acquired through the exchange of Apple Suites, Inc. common shares in the Company’s merger with Apple Suites, Inc.); or (2) $10.00 per unit. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. During the six months ended 2004, the Company redeemed 429,778 Units in the amount of $4,284,445.

 

Effective February 20, 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan to its shareholders. The plan provides a convenient and cost effective way to increase shareholder investment in the Company by reinvesting dividends to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring extended-stay hotels. The Company has registered 2.4 million shares for potential issuance under the Program. As of June 30, 2004, 232,162 Units have been reinvested representing $2,321,621 in proceeds to the Company.

 

Note 4

 

Management Agreements

 

Residence Inn Hotels

 

The Company’s Residence Inn hotels are subject to management agreements under which Residence Inn® by Marriott®, Inc. (the “Manager”) manages the hotels, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of the Manager of up to an additional 50 years. The agreements generally

Table of Contents

provide for payment of base management fees, which are calculated annually and are a percentage of sales, and incentive management fees over a priority return (as defined in the management agreements). Incentive management fees (IMF) are currently payable only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from the hotels after consideration of qualifying debt service and after consideration to a priority return on investment, including property improvements. Amounts not currently payable are deferred and are payable in future years only if and to the extent there is sufficient cash flow from future operations or upon sale or refinancing of the hotels after consideration to a priority return to us (as defined in the management agreements), which is generally 12%. In the event of early termination of the management agreements, the Manager will receive additional fees based on the unexpired term and expected future base and incentive management fees. The Company has the option to terminate the management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied.

 

Incentive fees are payable on a portfolio by portfolio basis for Residence Inn properties. The Company has three portfolios of multiple hotels and one other hotel with separate management agreements which are subject to this calculation. The Company records incentive management fee exposure when it is considered probable that these fees will be paid. The Company has recorded the full amount of deferred incentive management fees on the Res III portfolio and Redmond hotel. The Company has not recorded any deferred incentive management fees for the Res I and Res II portfolios.

 

The Company acquired its Residence Inn hotels in separate transactions, (Res I – purchased February 2002, Res II – purchased in August 2002, Res III – purchased September 2001, and Redmond purchased January 2003). In the Res I and Res II purchases, the Company assumed the amended and restated management agreements in effect with the Manager by the prior owner and assumed deferred incentive management fees totaling $6.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively, at the date of the respective acquisitions. Additionally, the Company assumed the cost basis of $187.0 million and $243.0 million for Res I and Res II, respectively, and the holding period of the prior owner for purposes of calculating the priority returns upon sale of the properties. The Company paid approximately $133.0 million and $160.0 million for Res I and Res II, respectively.

 

The following table summarizes deferred incentive management fees (“DIMF”) under these management agreements (dollars in millions).

No amounts of DIMF were recorded upon the acquisition of Res I and Res II as the fair value of these amounts were not readily determinable and payment was not considered probable.

In addition, the Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

General

 

Overview

 

The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns upscale, extended-stay hotels. The Company was formed on January 17, 2001, with the first investor closing commencing on May 1, 2001. The Company owns 66 hotels in selected markets throughout the United States. The performance of the Company’s hotels can be influenced by many factors, including local hotel competition, local and national economic conditions and the performance of the individual managers assigned to its hotels. In evaluating financial condition and operating performance, the Company focuses on revenue measurements such as occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room and expenses such as hotel operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses described below.

 

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company continued to experience the effects of economic weakness in some of its markets and the effects of closing rooms to complete its major renovation project for many of its hotels. As a result, the Company’s financial results were lower than the same period in 2003. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company began to see improved economic conditions in some of its markets and it substantially completed its major renovation program. As a result, the Company’s second quarter results exceeded the same period in 2003. Since there can be no assurance that economic conditions will continue to improve, there can be no assurance that operating results will improve in 2004. However, due to the positive impact of the completed renovations and positive economic indicators, the Company does believe there will be improvement in its results in the remainder of 2004.

 

Hotels Owned

 

The Company owns 66 hotels, with a total of 7,869 suites. Of its 66 hotels, the Company owns 49 Residence Inn® by Marriott® properties consisting of 5,947 suites, and 17 Homewood Suites® by Hilton® consisting of 1,922 suites.

Apple Suites, Inc.

 

The Company entered into a merger agreement with Apple Suites on October 23, 2002. Effective January 31, 2003, Apple Suites merged with and into Hospitality Acquisition Company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Apple Suites owned, either directly or through its subsidiaries, a total of 17 upper-end extended-stay hotels throughout the United States, which comprised a total of 1,922 suites, and all of which are operated as part of the Homewood Suites® by Hilton® franchise system. The merger did not change the management positions Mr. Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman, held with the Company prior to the merger nor did the board of directors’ change as a result of the merger.

 

Pursuant to the merger, each Apple Suites common share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger, was converted into the right to receive either: (i) one unit of the Company, consisting of one common share of the Company and one Series A preferred share of the Company; or (ii) if the holder of an Apple Suites common share elected, $10.00 in cash, subject to a limit on the total amount of cash to be paid in the merger. As a result of the merger, holders of Apple Suites common shares received a total of 11.4 million Units and approximately $17.8 million in cash, and the Company assumed Apple Suites’ liabilities and paid certain merger costs. The Company funded the cash portion of the merger consideration with available cash.

Table of Contents

Also in connection with this transaction, the Company terminated its advisory contract with ASA and became self-advised. To implement the termination of the advisory agreement, the Company purchased ASA. The Company acquired all of Mr. Glade M. Knight’s stock in ASA instead of paying a $6.48 million termination fee due ASA under the advisory agreement. Mr. Knight received a cash payment of $2.0 million and a non-interest-bearing promissory note, due four years after the merger, in a principal amount of $4.48 million. The Company recognized an expense related to this transaction of $5.5 million through the first quarter of 2003.

 

In addition, 1,272,000 newly created Series C convertible preferred shares were issued in exchange for outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares. Holders of Series B convertible preferred shares would have otherwise been entitled to receive 1,272,000 Units upon conversion of their Series B convertible preferred shares in connection with the termination of the advisory agreement with ASA and termination of the brokerage service agreement with ASRG. The new Series C convertible preferred shares have a liquidation preference comparable to the Series B convertible preferred shares, in that holders of Series C convertible preferred shares receive no payments in a liquidation for their Series C convertible preferred shares until holders of Units are paid in full for their Series A preferred shares. The Series C convertible preferred shares have the same voting rights and rights to receive dividend distributions as if they had already been converted to common shares. The company recognized expense related to this transaction of $10.2 million through the first quarter of 2003.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company has significant transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be arm’s length and the results of the Company’s operations could be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties.

 

The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has an advisory agreement with Apple Hospitality Five Advisors, Inc., whereby the Company receives advisory fee revenue equal to 0.1% to 0.25% of total equity contributions received by Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., plus certain reimbursable expenses in exchange for Company personnel performing advisory and real estate acquisition due diligence for Apple Hospitality Five, Inc. For six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company received advisory fee revenue in the amount of $356,000 and $80,000, respectively, under this agreement. No advisory fee revenue was received during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003. AFA is 100% owned by Mr. Knight.

 

The Company also provides support services to Apple Six Advisors, Inc. (ASA). ASA provides day to day advisory and real estate due diligence services to Apple Six REIT, Inc. ASA is 100% owned by Mr. Knight. ASA has agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company has received reimbursement of its costs totaling $133,000.

Revenues

 

The Company’s principal source of revenue is hotel suite revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had suite revenue and other revenue of approximately $53.3 million and $49.5 million and $1.4 million and $740,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had suite revenue and other revenue of approximately $101.4 million and $91.2 million and $2.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 78% and 75%, ADR of $95 and $90 and REVPAR of $74 and $67, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the hotels achieved average occupancy of 76% and 74%, ADR of $94 and $91 and REVPAR of $71 and $67, respectively. ADR, or average daily rate, is calculated as room revenue divided by number of rooms sold, and REVPAR, or revenue per available room, is calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR.

 

The increase in REVPAR for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, is due primarily to the completion of the Company’s major renovation program and improved economic conditions. During the renovation program, suites were taken out of service. This program was substantially completed during the second quarter of 2004.

 

Expenses

 

Hotel direct expenses totaled $32.3 million or 61% of suite revenue and $30.3 million or 61% of suite revenue, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Hotel direct expenses totaled approximately $63.1 million or 62% of suite revenue and $56.1 million or 62% of suite revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Taxes, insurance and other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $3.8 million or 7% of suite revenue and $3.3 million or 7% of suite revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, taxes, insurance and other expense was approximately $7.4 million or 7% of suite revenue and $6.0 million or 7% of suite revenue, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $358,000 or 1% of suite revenue and $357,000 or 1% of suite revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, general and administrative expense was approximately $991,000 or 1% of suite revenue and $880,000 or 1% of suite revenue, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $6.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, depreciation expense was approximately $12.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively. Depreciation expense represents expense of the Company’s 66 hotels and related personal property. The increase in depreciation is due to the Company’s major renovation project in 2003 and 2004 and the acquisition of Apple Suites, Inc. during the first quarter of 2003.

 

Interest expense was $7.0 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively and $13.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Interest expense represents interest on the 8.08%, $53.0 million promissory note assumed in conjunction with the Crestline acquisition, interest expense on the Res I Partnership acquisition debt in the amount of $83.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 7.4%, interest expense on the 8.85%, $130.0 million promissory note assumed in conjunction with the Res II Partnership acquisition, interest expense on the $20.0 million Redmond acquisition at 8.375%, Apple Suites debt of $76.0 million at 8.4%, and the $10 million line of credit entered into during April 2004, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. In addition, the Company has amortized approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, as a fair value premium to its mortgage notes payable. These premiums were recorded at the respective dates of assumptions of these notes to record these notes at their fair value based on market rates of interest for comparable debt. The increase in interest is due to the debt assumed in the acquisition of Apple Suites, Inc. in January 2003, and the reduction in interest capitalized associated with rooms out of service due to the Company’s renovation program. The Company substantially completed its renovation program in the second quarter of 2004. During the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,

Table of Contents

the Company capitalized interest of approximately $88,000 and $436,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company capitalized interest of $496,000 and $836,000, respectively. Capitalized interest related to suites out of service for renovations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $618,000 at June 30, 2004 and $17.0 million at December 31, 2003. The Company plans to use this cash to fund debt service and general corporate expenses. The decline in cash and cash equivalents is due to the funding of the Company’s renovation program.

 

Equity

 

During 2003, the Company instituted a Unit Redemption Program to provide limited interim liquidity to the Company’s shareholders. Redemption of Units, when requested, is made quarterly on a first-come, first-serve basis. Shareholders may request redemption of Units for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) the purchase price per unit that the shareholder actually paid for the unit (or the price that the shareholder actually paid for the Apple Suites, Inc. common shares, if the Units were acquired through the exchange of Apple Suites, Inc. common shares in the Company’s merger with Apple Suites, Inc.); or (2) $10.00 per unit. The Company reserves the right to change the purchase price of redemptions, reject any request for redemption, or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the Unit Redemption Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company redeemed 429,778 shares in the amount of approximately $4.3 million.

 

Effective February 20, 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan to its shareholders. The plan provides a convenient and cost effective way to increase shareholder investment in the Company by reinvesting dividends to purchase additional Units of the Company. The uses of the proceeds from this plan may include purchasing Units under the Company’s Unit Redemption Program, enhancing properties, satisfying financing obligations and other expenses, increasing working capital, funding various corporate operations, and acquiring extended-stay hotels. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, approximately 232,000 Units were reinvested representing proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.3 million, under this plan.

 

Notes Payable

 

In July 2004, the Company entered into a $16.0 million dollar secured line of credit, which replaced its existing $10.0 million dollar line of credit entered into in April 2004. The line bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and matures in April 2005. The Company had borrowed $10 million under the line as of June 30, 2004 and borrowed the remainder in July 2004.

 

Capital Requirements and Resources

 

The Company’s distribution policy is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on several factors. The distribution rate for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was at a rate of $0.25 per unit outstanding, respectively, excluding a one time special dividend of approximately $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2003. In July 2004, the Company declared and paid a dividend of approximately $8.3 million, or $.20 per share, to its shareholders. The reduction in the dividend rate was a result of the Company’s investment in its renovation program.

 

The Company has ongoing capital commitments to fund its capital improvements. Through the lessee, the Company is required, under all management agreements with the Manager, to make available to the lessee, for the repair, replacement, refurbishing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, an amount of at least 5% of gross revenues provided that such amount may be used for its capital expenditures with respect to the hotels.

Table of Contents

As a result of the Company’s renovation program the Company expects it will fund approximately $20.0 million in addition to the 5% requirement in 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company capitalized approximately $17.6 million and $20.8 million, respectively, in capital improvements to the properties. Of the amount capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2004, approximately $14 million relates to the Company’s major renovation program and approximately $3.6 million relates to the Company’s normal furniture, fixtures and equipment expenditures. To fund its renovation projects the Company has obtained a short-term credit facility and is in the process of completing a long term facility. It is anticipated cash from this credit facility and income from operations will be used to fund the Company’s debt service and capital improvement projects. Distributions to shareholders will depend on income from operations. As a result there can be no assurance that income from operations will be sufficient to fund distributions at historic levels.

 

The Company believes its liquidity and capital resources are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes its investment in renovations and improved economic conditions will allow the Company’s cash from operations to meet its planned distributions.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates. Currently the Company is not experiencing any material impact from inflation.

 

Seasonality

 

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at its hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company may have to reduce distributions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46) and subsequently revised FIN 46 in December 2003. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46. The Company did not identify any variable interest entities (VIEs) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, thus, the Company was not required to consolidate any VIEs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company does not engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of June 30, 2004, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Since that evaluation process was completed, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide the Company’s shareholders with a convenient and inexpensive way to increase their investment in the Company by reinvesting their dividends to purchase additional Units.

 

Share Redemption Program

 

The Company has instituted a share redemption program to provide its shareholders who have held their Units for at least one year with the benefit of limited interim liquidity, by presenting for redemption all or any portion of their Units at any time and in accordance with certain procedures. Once this time limitation has been met, the Company may, subject to certain conditions and limitations, redeem the Units presented for redemption for cash, to the extent that the Company has sufficient funds available to fund the redemption. If Units are held for the required one-year period, the Units may be redeemed for a purchase price equal to the lesser of: (1) $10.00 per unit; or (2) the purchase price per Unit that was actually paid for the Units. The board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to waive the one-year holding period, reject any request for redemption, change the purchase price for redemptions or otherwise amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate the share redemption program. Redemption of units, when requested, will be made quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis. Prior to the implementation of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan in the first quarter of 2004, the redemptions were funded as part of the Company’s Additional Share Option Plan. Funding for the redemption of Units will come from the proceeds the Company receives from the sale of Units under its dividend reinvestment plan. The Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, may choose to suspend or terminate the share redemption program or reduce the number of Units purchased under the share redemption program if it determines the funds otherwise available to fund the share redemption program are needed for other purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company redeemed approximately $4.3 million, representing approximately 430,000 Units.
