W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.                            Organization and Business

 

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), was formed on February 9, 2006 by and between Whitehall Street Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2005; 51.4% (“Whitehall Street”), Whitehall Street Global Employee Fund 2005, LP; 13.6% (“Whitehall Employee Fund”), Gengate Kapalua Holdings GP, LLC; 0% (“GHGP”) and Gengate Kapalua Holdings, LLC; 35% (“GKH”).

 

The Company was formed to acquire and own The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, (the “Hotel”) located on the Island of Maui, Hawaii.  The Hotel is managed through an operating agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC (the “Hotel Operator”).

 

On March 27, 2007, MLP RCK LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (“MLPC”) acquired a 21.4286% interest in the Company.  As a consequence initial members’ interest became the following:  Whitehall Street; 40.4234%, Whitehall Employee Fund; 10.648%, GKH; 27.5%, and GHGP; 0%.  Whitehall Street, Whitehall Employee Fund and GKH are designated as the Managing Members of the Company (together with MLPC and GHGP, the “Members”).  Major decisions, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Company Agreement”), require the consent of either Whitehall Street or Whitehall Employee Fund, and either GKH or MLPC.

 

On July 1, 2007, the Hotel was closed for a major renovation and conversion of 250 hotel rooms into 107 condominium units.  The Hotel was issued a temporary certificate of occupancy on December 28, 2007.

 

Allocation of Net Profit and Loss

 

Profits and losses are allocated pro rata among all Members in proportion to their percentage interests.

 

Distributions to Members

 

Distributions to Members are made pro rata in accordance with their relative percentage interests in the Company.  No distributions have been made to the Members since inception of the Company.

 

2.                            Liquidity

 

The Hotel was closed on July 1, 2007 for an extensive renovation and residence conversion construction and reopened on December 28, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred a net loss of $25,764,397 and had net cash inflows from operating activities of $9,123,223.  At December 31, 2007, the Company had a deficit of $37,537,966 in working capital.  Management believes that it will be able to continue to fund the operating needs with cash currently on hand, operations, sale of condominium units and additional debt or equity.  As of March 28, 2008, Whitehall Street, Whitehall Employee Fund and GHGP have confirmed to the Company that they have the ability and intent to fund, if required, through at least March 31, 2009, an amount necessary to meet the Company’s obligations as they come due.  The amount of cash to be funded is dependent upon the profitability of the hotel and management’s ability to close on condominium sales.  MLPC has not confirmed its intent to fund the Company.

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

3.                            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Mezzanine, LLC (“W2005 Mezzanine”), and W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Realty, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Hotel operating revenues are from room rentals, food and beverage sales, spa sales and retail merchandise sales.  Revenues are recorded as services are rendered or goods are provided.  Additionally, the Company collects sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes which are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Amounts received in advance of guest stays are reflected as advance deposits in the accompanying balance sheet.  These advance deposits are recognized as revenue when the service is provided.  Interest expense is net of $474,337 of interest income.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advance deposits and long-term obligations.  The carrying amounts of financial instruments other than long-term obligations approximate fair value due to their short term nature.  The Company’s mortgage loan obligations at fair value is advantageous (LIBOR plus 220 basis points) when compared with the February 2008 recapitalization, as described in Note 6, where variable rate debt increased to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. Such obligations approximate fair value. Other long term debt approximates market value, based upon rates currently available for similar instruments. The Company has an interest rate cap that is carried at fair value.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents amounts reserved for payment of real estate taxes, repairs, insurance and funding of furniture, fixture and equipment purchases.  These restrictions are required under the Mortgage Loan and by the Management Agreement.  In addition, and as part of the restricted cash balance, the Company has on deposit, $2,895,700 to support an irrevocable standby letter of credit expiring on July 26, 2008, which was used to obtain a building permit application.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company records trade accounts receivable in the normal course of business related to the sale of products and services.  The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts receivable.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on review of specific accounts that have been identified as at risk for non-collection and prior collection history.  Write-offs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

A significant portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at various financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in this area.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist primarily of food, beverages and merchandise held for resale and operating supplies.  Amounts are valued on a first in first out basis.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had an interest rate cap which is a derivative financial instrument.  This derivative is $4,400 and is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.  The interest rate cap was not designated as a hedging instrument; therefore changes in the fair value of this instrument are recognized in the results of operations in the period that the change occurs.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Expenditures that improve the functionality of the related equipment or extend its useful life are capitalized.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, the related gain or loss is included in the determination of income.  Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:

 

Land improvements

 

20 years

Buildings and improvements

 

39 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

3-7 years

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred in conjunction with obtaining the debt instruments are included as deferred financing costs.  Deferred financing costs are amortized over the respective lives of the applicable debt issues on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method as a component of interest expense.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates potential impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires the Company to (a) recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is more than the value of its undiscounted projected cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  No impairments of long-lived assets occurred during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be a limited liability company for federal tax purposes.  Limited liability companies are not taxable entities under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for federal or state income taxes.  The tax effects of the Company’s transactions are the responsibility of the Members.

(a)               On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 term loan agreement (the “Luxury Loan”) maturing April 13, 2011 with Luxury Finance LLC.  The Luxury Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to prime rate plus 350 basis points (8.53% at December 31, 2007).

 

(b)              On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into a $180,500,000 term loan agreement (the “Lehman Loan”) initially maturing April 1, 2008 with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”).  The Lehman Loan provided for two (2) extensions of one (1) year each, at the Company’s option. Monthly payments of interest commenced on May 9, 2006.  The loan was collateralized by the first deed of trust on the Hotel.  On March 27, 2007, this loan was repaid.

 

On March 27, 2007, the Company entered into a $271,700,000 mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) with Lehman to, among other matters,: (i) refinance the outstanding balance of the Lehman Loan, (ii) acquire the Hotel land, which was subject to a long-term ground lease, (iii) finance the Hotel renovation and condominium conversion, (iv) make deposits into reserve fund accounts for renovation holdbacks, condominium conversion holdbacks, operating deficit holdbacks, marketing cost holdbacks, interest holdbacks and tax holdbacks; and (v) construct the condominium units.  The Mortgage Loan initially matures on February 27, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”).  The term of the Mortgage Loan may be extended for three additional periods of one (1) year each at the Company’s option.  Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate equal to prime plus 220 basis points (7.23% at December 31, 2007).  The Company has assigned to Lehman all of its rights, title and interest to receive any and all payments under an interest cap of 6% with a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal.  The Company has granted Lehman first priority security interest in its equity interest in the Company.

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On February 21, 2008, the Company, Whitehall Street, MLPC and Karim Alibhai, Manager-GHGP and GKH, entered into a Consent and First Amendment to the Mortgage Loan, (the “First Amendment Agreement”) with Lehman to evidence a $5,000,000 loan from Marriott International Corporation to the Company.  In addition, the Company received $6,850,000 as a short term loan from Whitehall Street and Whitehall Employee Fund and deposited these funds in the equity reserve account as required by the First Amendment Agreement.  The Company is required to deposit $10,000,000 in reserve accounts with Lehman to fund construction or deficits in operating the Hotel.  As part of the First Amendment Agreement the interest rate was increased to LIBOR plus 300 basis points and principal payments in addition to monthly interest-only payments are required as follows:

 

An amount equal to the greater of the net sale proceeds per sold condominium unit or the release price of the unit stipulated in the First Amendment Agreement is to be used to increase certain loan reserves to $55,000,000, then to reduce the principal balance on the Mortgage Loan to $150,000,000.  Subsequent proceeds of approximately $15,000,000 are to be used to repay all or defined amounts of other indebtedness and then the remainder to the Company.

 

7.                            Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company may, from time-to-time, be a party to various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management believes the Company has adequate insurance coverage for all such matters and that, although the ultimate outcome of such claims cannot be ascertained, current pending and threatened claims are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

8.         Indemnifications and Guarantees

 

The Company has entered into certain indemnification agreements under which it could be required to make payments to third parties upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain future events.  These indemnities primarily include 1) the indemnification of Members and officers of the Company for certain events or occurrences while a Member or officer is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity and 2) all claims and demands which may be asserted against the lenders under the Company’s loans for obligations to be performed by the Company.  The duration of these indemnities generally is for the length of the contracts.  These indemnifications generally do no limit the future payments the Company could be obligated to make.  The Company has not recorded any liabilities for these indemnities in the accompanying financial statements, based upon the current facts and circumstances that would trigger a payment.

9.         Related Party Transactions

 

The following related party transactions between the Company and various related entities could have a different financial statement impact had they occurred in arms length transactions between unrelated entities.

 

Services Agreement

 

On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement (“Services Agreement”) with Gencom Asset Management Company, LP, (“Gencom”), an affiliate of GHGP and GKH.  The Company engaged Gencom to perform services related to the asset management and development of the Hotel. Under the terms of the Services Agreement, the Company is charged an asset management fee of one percent (1.00%) of hotel gross revenues payable monthly in arrears, during each fiscal year plus all out of pocket expenses (including reasonable travel expenses), disbursements and advances incurred by Gencom in connection with its duties under the Services Agreement.  The Company incurred $448,121 in asset management fees for the year ended December 31, 2007 and this amount is included as a component of “Management fees” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.  At December 31, 2007, there were no unpaid asset management fees.

 

Gencom receives a Development Management Fee in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the aggregate hard and soft costs of renovation, exclusive of land costs.  The Development Management Fee is payable monthly in arrears on the tenth business day following the month during the time in which the property is undergoing renovations.  The Company incurred $1,467,371 in Development Management Fee for the year ended December 31, 2007 and this amount is included in construction in progress as a component of “Property and Equipment, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  At December 31, 2007, Development Management Fees of $896,101 were unpaid and were included as a component of “Due to related parties” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  In addition, during 2007 Gencom charged the Company approximately $787,000 for payroll and out of pocket expenses related to Gencom employees’ involvement in the Hotel renovation.

11.       Subsequent Events

 

On December 15, 2007, the Company made a $12,000,000 capital call request pursuant to the Company Agreement.  One of the Members, MLPC, declined to fund its $2,571,432 pro rata share (the “MLPC Share”).

 

In connection with the acquisition of the Hotel in 2006, a dispute arose regarding the amount of the closing date adjustment, between the Company and RCK Hawaii, LLC ( the “Seller”) &  BCM/CHI Kapalua, INC. (the “Option Seller”), (collectively, the “Sellers”). On February 14, 2008, a settlement agreement was reached and as a result, the Sellers paid the Company $2,700,000 on February 19, 2008, in full satisfaction of the closing date adjustment.  This amount is included in “Other receivable” in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

On February 21, 2008, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 loan agreement (the “FF&E loan”) maturing on February 21, 2011 with Marriott International Capital Corporation.  The FF&E loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis points.  The FF&E loan is collaterized by: (a) FF&E reserves, (b) all funds, money and other items of payment held or deposited in the FF&E reserves, (c) FF&E Records, and (d) to the extent not otherwise included above, all proceeds, products and profits of or in respect of any of the foregoing.

 

12.       Other Subsequent Events (unaudited)

 

The Company has not funded monthly interest payments on its long-term debt since February 2009, which constitutes an event of default under the loan agreement.  The Company received notification from the lender in April and July 2009 of an event of default on the Mortgage Loan and demanding payment in full of outstanding arrearages under the loan, including default rate interest.  As a result of the event of default, Lehman has the right to exercise its remedies under the loan which include accelerating the loan and foreclosure proceedings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In October 2009, the Company received notification from Marriott that an event of default has occurred under the Luxury Loan as it has not funded interest payments on the loan.  As a result of the event of default, Marriott has the right to exercise its remedies under the loan and demand full payment of the unpaid principal, accrued interest, and fees.

 

Based on the foregoing, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
