INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

Mr. Edwin Glickman

Ms. Donna Brandin

Widewaters Management

South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

Syracuse, New York

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary (a Limited Liability Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

To Mr. Edwin Glickman, Ms. Donna Brandin and Widewaters Management

South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC And Subsidiary

(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Note 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC And Subsidiary (the “Company”) was formed as a limited liability company in July 2012 to construct, own, and operate a hotel located in South Jordan, Utah. The construction phase was completed in 2013, and the first day of operations was December 10, 2013.

 

South Jordan Hotel Ownership, LLC was formed as a limited liability company in January 2012 to oversee the development of the hotel. South Jordan Hotel Ownership, LLC is wholly owned by South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC.

 

South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary’s operating agreements specify the required capital contributions of the partners and the procedures for the allocation of profits, losses, distributions, and the return of capital to the partners. Generally, these items are allocated in proportion to the respective ownership percentages of the partners.

 

Accounting Method

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting which is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Estimates

 

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

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over a period of 3 to 15 years for land improvements, computers, fixtures, furniture, equipment and software and 39 years for buildings. Depreciation expense charged to operations for the years ended 2015 and 2014 was $824,842 and $824,352, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Note 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

 

Compensated Absences

 

Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation depending on length of service and other factors. The amount of compensation for future absences cannot be reasonably estimated and, accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually paid to the employee.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are charged to operations when incurred. The costs of direct-response advertising are capitalized and amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received. Advertising costs charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $78,711 and $86,300, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. For assets held and used, if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, an impairment loss has occurred. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. No impairment loss has been recognized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between December 31, 2015 and January 30, 2017, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

 

Subsequent Events - Continued

 

The Hotel was sold on August 2, 2016 to the Lightstone Group. The Company and Subsidiary continue to exist.

 

Note 2.RESTRICTED DEPOSITS

 

Restricted deposits are cash deposits which have been placed into escrow accounts, and are not available for general business purposes. These funds are to be released by the bank to the Company only upon submission and approval of invoices for capital improvements, furniture and fixtures, and equipment items. The balance of restricted deposits at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $555,235 and $244,069, respectively.

 

Note 3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they are charged to operations at the time that determination is made.

 

Note 4.EXPENDABLES

 

Linens are considered expendables and are not depreciated. When originally acquired, the expendables were capitalized. Subsequent replacement items are expensed when purchased.

 

Note 5.DEFERRED COSTS

 

Deferred financing costs are amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of 24 months to 20 years. Initial franchise fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the franchise agreement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

 

Note 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC And Subsidiary (the “Company”) was formed as a limited liability company in July 2012 to construct, own, and operate a hotel located in South Jordan, Utah. The construction phase was completed in 2013, and the first day of operations was December 10, 2013.

 

South Jordan Hotel Ownership, LLC was formed as a limited liability company in January 2012 to oversee the development of the hotel. South Jordan Hotel Ownership, LLC is wholly owned by South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC.

 

South Jordan Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary’s operating agreements specify the required capital contributions of the members and the procedures for the allocation of profits, losses, distributions, and the return of capital to the members. Generally, these items are allocated in proportion to the respective ownership percentages of the members.

 

Accounting Method

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting which is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Estimates

 

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

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over a period of 3 to 15 years for land improvements, computers, fixtures, furniture, equipment and software and 39 years for buildings. Depreciation expense charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $412,421.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

 

Note 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

 

Compensated Absences

 

Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation depending on length of service and other factors. The amount of compensation for future absences cannot be reasonably estimated and, accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually paid to the employee.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are charged to operations when incurred. The costs of direct-response advertising are capitalized and amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received. Advertising costs charged to expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $42,182 and $37,044.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. For assets held and used, if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts, an impairment loss has occurred. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. No impairment loss has been recognized by the Company for the for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between June 30, 2016 and January 30, 2017, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Hotel was sold on August 2, 2016 to the Lightstone Group. The Company and Subsidiary continue to exist.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

Mr. Edwin Glickman

Widewaters Management

Tukwila Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary

Syracuse, New York

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tukwila Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary (a Limited Liability Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

Mr. Edwin Glickman, Ms. Donna Brandin, and Widewaters Management

Tukwila Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tukwila Hotel Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
