This Form 8-K/A is being filed to report additional financial information regarding the acquisition of Lansdowne Resort in Lansdowne, Virginia, which was reported in the Form 8-K, filed June 18, 2003, which this form amends.

 

ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

 

On June 17, 2003, LaSalle Hotel Properties (the “Company”) acquired Lansdowne Resort, a 296-room, full-service golf resort and conference center located at 44050 Woodridge Parkway in Lansdowne, Virginia for $115.8 million. The consideration paid in the acquisition was $53.0 million in cash and the assumption of a $62.8 million mortgage loan. The source of the funding for the acquisition was the Company’s 1031-escrow and corporate credit facility. The mortgage loan is collateralized by Lansdowne Resort, bears interest at a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.5%, matures on January 28, 2007, and requires interest and principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule. The loan has a LIBOR floor of 3.0% and permits prepayment beginning on February 11, 2004. The property will be managed by Benchmark Hospitality under a five-year management agreement.

 

This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, the Company disclaims any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Partners of

Lansdowne Resort Limited Partnership

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lansdowne Resort Limited Partnership (an Illinois limited partnership) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lansdowne Resort Limited Partnership at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Lansdowne Resort Limited Partnership

(An Illinois Limited Partnership)

 

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

 

1. Organization

 

Lansdowne Resort Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) formerly known as VMS Lansdowne Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership, was formed on July 6, 1989, to acquire, develop, operate, and manage the Lansdowne Conference Resort, a 304-room hotel, executive conference center, and golf club (the “Property”) in Loudoun County, Virginia.

 

The Partnership has the following partners: Lansdowne Resort Development Corp. (f/k/a VMS Lansdowne Development Corp.) (“LRDC”), an Illinois corporation, VMS Realty Investors (“VRI”), an Illinois general partnership and an affiliate of LRDC, and Lansdowne/VKAM, LLC (“VK Partner”), an Illinois limited liability company (collectively, the “Partners”), with ownership interests as follows:

 

Partner


  

Ownership

Interest


 

General:

      

LRDC

   1.0 %

Limited:

      

LRDC/VRI

   84.0  

VK Partner

   15.0  
    

     100.0 %
    

 

The Partnership agreement provides for cash distributions to first be made to the VK Partner until the VK Partner receives a 15% noncompounded preferred return, as defined, second to partners who have made special capital contributions, as defined, third to the payment of an asset management fee payable to an affiliate of LRDC (see Note 5), and then to the partners based upon their respective ownership interests. Under the terms of the Partnership agreements, LRDC made a required additional limited partner capital contribution of $2,000,000 on February 29, 2000, which was then distributed to the VK Partner. Profits are allocated in the same manner as cash distributions; except in the event there are no cash distributions, profits are allocated in proportion to the partners’ respective ownership interests. Losses are allocated in proportion to the Partners’ respective ownership interests. In the event of a refinancing sale or other disposition of Partnership property, cash distributions, profits, and losses are subject to special allocations, as defined in the Partnership agreement.

 

On July 31, 2002, the Partners contributed 348 acres of land, land improvements, and other development costs, totaling $7,285,655 for the development of a championship Greg Norman Golf Course (the “Norman Course”). The contributed land is located adjacent to the golf club currently on the property.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Operating Property

 

Building and improvements and furniture and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated methods.

 

The Partnership recognizes impairment losses for the Property when indicators of impairment are present and the Property’s expected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the Property’s carrying amount, which is based on historical cost. No impairment losses have been recorded in any of the periods presented.

Table of Contents

Property Under Development

 

Development costs, which include land acquisition costs, fees, and other costs incurred in developing new properties, are capitalized as incurred. Upon completion of construction, development costs are included in operating property and are depreciated over the useful lives of the respective properties on a straight-line basis. Interest, financing costs, real estate taxes, other direct costs and indirect costs incurred during development periods are capitalized.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Partnership considers all investments with a maturity of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Loan fees and other loan costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the related loan.

 

Golf Membership Deposits

 

The Partnership is offering long-term memberships for the use of the existing golf club and the Norman Course. The deposits are payable in installments over a period of time and are subject to the completion of the Norman Course. As such, the Partnership is recognizing the deposits on a cash basis. The membership deposits are refundable to the members based upon length of membership, as defined.

 

Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal or state income taxes has been made in the financial statements, as the results of operations are included in the income tax returns of the respective Partners.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

 

Interest Rate Protection Agreements

 

The Partnership records all derivative instruments at fair value. The fair value for all derivative contracts is included in other assets or other liabilities, and changes in fair value will be recorded each period in earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedged transaction, and on the type of hedge transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in other comprehensive income must be reclassified into earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item, and the ineffective portion of all hedges is recognized in general and administrative (expenses) in the statement of operations in the current period.

 

Interim Financial Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of May 31, 2003 and for the five months then ended have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

 

3. Mortgage Loan Payable

 

On January 29, 2002, the Partnership refinanced its existing mortgage loan with a new mortgage loan agreement (the “Loan”) in the amount of $64,000,000, including a $5,000,000 interest reserve, collateralized by the Property and the assignment of certain leases and rents. The lender will fund an additional $10,000,000 for

future construction after certain net operating income requirements are achieved, as defined. The Loan calls for monthly payments of interest and principal through maturity on January 28, 2007, and bears interest at LIBOR (1.3189% and 1.6875% at May 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002) plus 4.5%, with a minimum LIBOR of 3%. The Partnership incurred $1,572,312 in related financing costs, which will be amortized over the life of the Loan.

 

The Partnership also entered into an interest rate cap agreement on January 29, 2002, which matures on January 28, 2005. The agreement caps the effective LIBOR rate at 7% per annum on an original notional amount of $64,000,000 that is reduced as the Loan principal is repaid. The Partnership paid $309,500 for the cap, which has a fair value of $994 (unaudited) and $43,749 (included in other assets) as of May 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The fair value adjustment of $42,755 (unaudited) and $265,751, respectively, is included in general and administrative expense.

 

Prior to January 29, 2002, the Partnership had a $57,000,000 mortgage loan payable that bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.5% per annum and requires monthly interest-only payments. On September 22, 2001 and September 22, 2000, the Partnership extended the maturity date of the loan for an additional one-year period, under the same terms and incurred an additional $285,000 of financing costs at each date, which was amortized on a straight-lined basis over the extension period. The Company repaid the mortgage loan with proceeds from the Loan and incurred an additional fee of $570,000 (included in interest expense).

 

The Loan requires the Partnership to maintain certain escrow accounts, which are included in the escrows and other deposits.

 

4. Management Fees

 

The Property is managed by The Benchmark Management Company under a management agreement that provides for a base management fee of 1.5% of gross revenue, as defined, plus incentive fees equal to 5% of total revenues, as defined, plus 10% of net cash available for debt service, as defined, and 15% of excess cash flow by which cash available for debt service exceeds the projected level, as defined. Base management fees for the Property totaled $175,129 (unaudited) for the five months ended May 31, 2003, $525,709, $493,705 and $603,848 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and 2000, respectively. No incentive fee was due for the five months ended May 31, 2003 (unaudited) or for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the incentive fee was $216,768.

 

5. Related Party Transactions

 

An affiliate of LRDC receives asset management fees equal to 1% of total gross revenues, as defined. During the five months ended May 31, 2003 and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership incurred asset management fees of $118,849 (unaudited), $348,951, $329,137 and $402,563, respectively, of which $47,395 was payable at May 31, 2003 (unaudited), December 31, 2002 and 2001.

 

6. Subsequent Event

 

On April 30, 2003, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the Property and the Norman Course to a third party. The sale is expected to close in mid June 2003.

(Unaudited, Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except per Share Data)

 

(A) Represents unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as filed on Form 10-Q.

 

(B) Represents the purchase of Lansdowne Resort as if it had occurred on March 31, 2003 for $115,800 plus transaction expenses of approximately $453. The acquisition was financed with assumed mortgage debt of $62,845, proceeds of $44,739 from the sale of the New Orleans Grande Hotel, and the balance from borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility. However, as of March 31, 2003, the sale of the New Orleans Grande Hotel had not occurred, therefore the acquisition cost, net of assumed mortgage debt, is reflected as borrowings against the Company’s credit facility.

Notes and Management’s Assumptions to the

Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2002

(Unaudited, Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except per Share Data)

 

(A) Represents audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 as filed on Form 10-K.

 

(B) Represents historical hotel operations of Lansdowne Resort for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net income from hotel operations is comprised of the following:

 

Historical net income (1)

   $ 1,991  

Add:

  Depreciation (2)      2,478  
    Amortization (3)      376  
    Asset management fee—Affiliate (4)      349  
    Recognition of golf membership fees (5)      119  

Less:

  Depreciation on acquisition cost basis (6)      (3,090 )
    Change in management fee expense (7)      —    
        


Pro forma net income from Lansdowne Resort acquisition

   $ 2,223  
        


 

(1)   Represents historical net income of Lansdowne Resort Limited Partnership (the “Seller”) and its hotel and golf operations reflected in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
(2)   Adjustment for historical depreciation basis included in the audited financial statements of the Seller for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company has included its estimate of depreciation in the net income from hotel operations, based on the purchase price allocation (see (6) below).
(3)   Represents amortization on the Seller’s deferred financing costs included in historical net income.
(4)   Adjustment for the asset management fee paid by the Seller to an affiliate of the Seller, which will not be incurred by the Company subsequent to acquisition.
(5)   Adjustment to reflect the Company’s policy of recognizing the revenue associated with golf memberships over an estimated 6-year membership life. The $119 is classified as other operating department revenue on the accompanying pro forma statement of operations.

Table of Contents
(6)   Represents depreciation on the operating real and personal property acquired. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and is based upon the estimated useful life of thirty years for building and improvements and five years for furniture and equipment. The depreciable basis allocated to building and furniture and equipment is $75,022 and $2,963, resulting in depreciation of $2,501 and $593, respectively.
(7)   Management fees to be incurred by the Company are comparable to what the Seller has incurred and therefore no adjustment is deemed necessary.

 

(C) Represents interest expense on $55,568 of borrowings against the Company’s facility as partial funding of the acquisition. The interest is based on the Company’s 2002 weighted average interest rate on the credit facility of approximately 4.3%, and is net of estimated unused commitment fees of $207.

 

(D) Represents the income tax expense on Lansdowne Resort operations expected to be realized by LaSalle Hotel Lessee, Inc. (“LHL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company assuming the property had been leased to LHL as of January 1, 2002 as follows:

 

Pro forma net income from Lansdowne Resort acquisition

   $ 2,223  

Add:  Depreciation

     3,090  

Personal property taxes and insurance

     1,186  

Interest expense on assumed mortgage loan

     5,189  

Less: Participating lease expense (1)

     (11,221 )
    


LHL net income from resort operations

     467  

LHL estimated combined 2002 tax rate

     41.5 %
    


Estimated income tax expense

   $ 194  
    


 

(1)   The 2002 participating lease expense is based on the Company’s internal estimates and is eliminated in consolidation. The LHL participating lease expense is presented solely to calculate LHL taxable income and consequently, the income tax expense.

 

(E) Represents the cumulative minority interest effect of the Lansdowne Resort acquisition. Minority interest is calculated by using the Company’s 2002 weighted average minority interest percentage of 2.3%.

 

Pro forma net income from Lansdowne Resort acquisition

   $ 2,223  

Less: Interest expense on assumed mortgage loan

     (2,172 )

Income tax expense

     (194 )
    


Loss attributable to minority interest

Funds From Operations and EBITDA

 

 

The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to be key measures of the Company’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and liquidity. The Company believes that FFO and EBITDA are helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, they provide investors with an indication of the ability of an equity REIT to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. The White Paper on FFO approved by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in April 2002 defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles “GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring, sales of properties and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs) and after comparable adjustments for the Company’s portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company. FFO and EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. FFO and EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

Notes and Management’s Assumptions to the

Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003

(Unaudited, Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except per Share Data)

 

(A) Represents unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as filed on Form 10-Q.

 

(B) Represents historical hotel operations of Lansdowne Resort for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net loss from hotel operations is comprised of the following:

 

Resort net operating income (1)

   $ 331  

Add: Non-operating resort expenses (replacement reserves) (2)

     285  

Asset management fee—Affiliate (3)

     63  

Recognition of golf membership fees (4)

     65  

Less: Depreciation on acquisition cost basis (5)

     (773 )

Interest expense on assumed mortgage loan (6)

     (1,297 )

Change in management fee expense (7)

     —    
    


Pro forma net loss from Lansdowne Resort acquisition

   $ (1,326 )
    


 

(1)   Represents historical Lansdowne Resort hotel and golf operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
(2)   Adjustment for resort replacement reserve contributions included in the resort’s operations. The contributions represent restricted cash deposits and are not an operating expense.
(3)   Adjustment for the asset management fee paid by the Seller to an affiliate of the Seller, which will not be incurred by the Company subsequent to acquisition.
(4)   Adjustment to reflect the Company’s policy of recognizing the revenue associated with golf memberships over an estimated  6-year membership life. The $65 is classified as other operating department revenue on the accompanying pro forma statement of operations.
(5)   Represents depreciation on the operating real and personal property acquired. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and is based upon the estimated useful life of thirty years for building and improvements and five years for furniture and equipment. The depreciable basis allocated to building and furniture and equipment is $75,022 and $2,963, resulting in depreciation of $625 and $148, respectively.

(6)   Adjustment for interest expense on the fixed rate mortgage loan securing the resort which was assumed at acquisition. The interest expense for the quarter is not included in resort operations.
(7)   Management fees to be incurred by the Company are comparable to what the Seller has incurred and therefore no adjustment is deemed necessary.

 

(C) Represents interest expense on $55,568 of borrowings against the Company’s facility as partial funding of the acquisition. The interest is based on the Company’s first quarter 2003 weighted average interest rate on the credit facility of approximately 3.7%, and is net of estimated unused commitment fees of $69.

 

(D) Represents the income tax expense on Lansdowne Resort operations expected to be realized by LaSalle Hotel Lessee, Inc. (“LHL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company assuming the property had been leased to LHL as of January 1, 2002 as follows:

 

Pro forma net loss from Lansdowne Resort acquisition

   $ (1,326 )

Add:    Depreciation

     773  

  Personal property taxes and insurance

     302  

  Interest expense on assumed mortgage loan

     1,297  

Less:   Participating lease expense (1)

     (2,050 )
    


LHL net loss from resort operations

     (1,004 )

LHL estimated combined 2003 tax rate

     41.5 %
    


Estimated income tax benefit

   $ (417 )
    


 

(1)   The 2003 participating lease expense is based on the Company’s internal estimates and is eliminated in consolidation. The LHL participating lease expense is presented solely to calculate LHL taxable income and consequently, the income tax benefit.

 

(E) Represents the cumulative minority interest effect of the Lansdowne Resort acquisition. Minority interest is calculated by using the Company’s first quarter 2003 weighted average minority interest percentage of 2.3%.

 

Pro forma net loss from Lansdowne Resort acquisition

   $ (1,326 )

Less:    Interest expense on assumed mortgage loan

     (445 )

   Income tax benefit

     417  
    


Loss attributable to minority interest

     (1,354 )

Weighted average minority interest percentage

Funds From Operations and EBITDA

 

The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to be key measures of the Company’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and liquidity.

 

The Company believes that FFO and EBITDA are helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, they provide investors with an indication of the ability of an equity REIT to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs.

FFO and EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.
