On September 18, 2003, LaSalle Hotel Properties (the “Company”) acquired the Hotel George, a 139-room, full-service hotel located at 15 E Street NW in Washington, D.C. for $24.1 million. The source of the funding for the acquisition was the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility.

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, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project” or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to the risk factors discussed in this the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent SEC reports and filings. 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.

(a Delaware limited liability company) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of income, changes in members’ capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’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 Capitol Hotel, L.L.C. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations, changes in its members’ capital 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000

 

Note 1 Organization and Operations

 

Capitol Hotel, L.L.C. (the “Company”) is a Delaware limited liability company formed on February 26, 1997 to acquire, own, renovate, develop, lease, manage, and operate a 136-room hotel, called The Hotel George, located in Washington, D.C. Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement (“Agreement”) the Company will terminate on December 31, 2037 or an earlier date as provided for in the Agreement.

 

The percentage interests of the members of the Company are as follows:

 

AG Capital Hotel, L.L.C.

   97.00 %

AE-Capital Associates, L.P.

   3.00  
    

     100.00 %
    

 

AG Asset Manager, Inc. has been designated as the General Manager of the Company and AE-Capitol, Inc. has been designated as the Operating Manager of the Company.

 

Net losses of the Company are allocated as follows:

 

  a.   First, to those members who were previously allocated income in accordance with their percentage interests to the extent of and in proportion to such allocations which have not been previously eliminated by prior loss allocations.

 

  b.   Second, to all members in accordance with their percentage interests, except that no losses are allocated to any member if such allocation causes or increases a deficit capital account balance (“Excess Losses”). Such losses which cannot be allocated to the member with the deficit capital account are first allocated to other members in proportion to their relative percentage interests.

 

Net profits of the Company are allocated as follows:

 

  a.   First to all members in proportion to and to the extent of prior losses allocated to them not previously eliminated through prior allocations of income.

 

  b.   Second, to all members in accordance with their percentage interests.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, distributions of cash flow are generally allocated in accordance with the members’ percentage interests. However, in the event that AG Capitol Hotel, L.L.C. has made a Special Capital Contribution, as that term is defined in the Agreement, then cash flow is first distributed to AG Capitol Hotel, L.L.C. until it has received an amount equal to the Special Capital Contribution together with interest thereon and second to the Members according to their percentage interests. In addition, pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement, the Company is obligated to make an additional distribution to one of the members during any period in which a required minimum internal rate of return, as defined in the agreement, is achieved and a cash flow distribution is made to the member.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments having maturities of three months or less.

 

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The cost of major additions and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are charged to operations as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resultant gains or losses are reflected in income for the period.

 

Depreciation—Depreciation of buildings is computed on the straight-line basis over 39 years. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment is computed over a three- to seven-year period using the “Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System” (MACRS), which is a depreciation method used for federal income tax purposes. This method approximates the estimated useful life of the assets. Depreciation commences when an asset is placed in service. Depreciation of tenant improvements is computed on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

Deferred Costs—Deferred costs which are amortized on a straight-line basis consist of the following:

 

Description


   Period of Amortization

Leasing commissions

   Life of lease

Deferred loan costs

   Term of loan

 

Goodwill—On February 28, 1997 the Company purchased the property for approximately $7,415,000. The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. This allocation resulted in approximately $1,265,000 of cost in excess of net tangible assets acquired, which was being amortized over 15 years, through 2001.

 

In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, amortization of goodwill ceased as of December 31, 2001. The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis for potential impairment. No such impairment was deemed necessary through December 31, 2002.

 

Inventory—Inventory includes reserve stocks of china, glassware, silver and linens which are recorded at cost.

 

Income Taxes—The taxable income or loss of the Company is included in the income tax returns of the members; accordingly, no provision for income tax expense or benefit is reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

 

The Company’s tax returns and the amount of allocable profits or losses are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax liability of the members could be modified if such an examination results in changes to the Company’s profits or losses.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements—The interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the seven months ended July 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

 

Estimates—In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note 3 Mortgage Note Payable

 

On December 13, 2002, the Company repaid its existing mortgage loan of $11,625,000 with the proceeds from a new mortgage loan ($12,000,000). The new loan is nonrecourse to the members and is secured by a first mortgage on the Company’s real property and substantially all other assets. The loan has an initial maturity date of December 16, 2004 and at the Company’s option can be extended to December 16, 2005. The extension is available as long as (1) the Company gives the bank written notice sixty days prior to the maturity date, (2) the appraised value of the hotel and improvements is at least twice the outstanding loan balance on the maturity date, (3) the Company has a minimum debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) as defined in the loan agreement of greater than 1.75, and (4) the Company pays the lender a renewal fee equal to .25 percent of the outstanding loan balance. If the Company elects to extend the maturity date of the loan, principal amortization will be based on a 15-year amortization schedule at a rate of 9 percent.

 

Principal payments of $11,680 per month ($140,160 annually) commenced January 2003. At any time that the DSCR falls below 1.60, all cash flow (as defined) must be paid as additional principal reduction. Should the DSCR fall below 1.50, the Company is obligated to make a principal payment sufficient to increase the DSCR to 1.50.

 

The loan bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus a rate spread of (i) 2.65 percent if the DSCR exceeds 1.75, (ii) 3.00 percent if the DSCR is at least 1.60 and (iii) 3.25 percent if the DSCR is less than 1.60. The interest rate at July 31, 2003 (unaudited) was 4.11 percent and at December 31, 2002 was 4.0675 percent.

 

Prior to December 13, 2002, the Company had a $11,625,000 mortgage loan payable that bore interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.25 percent per annum and monthly payments on the loan were based on a 25-year amortization schedule accruing interest at 8 percent. The Company extended the original maturity date of August 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002. The interest rate at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was 4.39 percent and 8.57 percent, respectively, on $8,100,000 of the loan balance and 9.07 percent on an additional loan balance of $3,525,000.

Note 4 Restaurant Rental

 

In October 1997, the Company entered into a 10-year lease agreement for a restaurant on the first floor and mezzanine levels of the hotel. The lease requires that the tenant provide room service and banquet service to the hotel. The lease expires in September 2008. During the first three lease years, the tenant was obligated to pay percentage rent only, equal to 10 percent of gross sales. Commencing in the fourth lease year (2002), the tenant is required to pay base rent equal to 6.25 percent of the average annual gross revenue during the first three lease years. Thereafter, base rent increases 3 percent annually for the final five lease years. Percentage rent in years four through 10 is dependent on the restaurant’s gross sales.

 

Future minimum base rentals expected to be received under the noncancelable lease is as follows:

 

2003

   $ 254,178

2004

     261,810

2005

     269,675

2006

     277,747

2007

     286,080

Thereafter

     206,909
    

     $ 1,556,399
    

 

The above amounts do not include any percentage rents.

(A)   Represents audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 as filed on Form 10-K.
(B)   Represents historical hotel operations of Hotel George for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net income from hotel operations is comprised of the following:

 

Historical net income (1)

   $ 441  

Add: Depreciation (2)

     735

(1)   Represents historical net income of Capitol Hotel, L.L.C. (the “Seller”) and its hotel operations and restaurant lease revenue 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 (5) below).
(3)   Represents amortization on the Seller’s deferred financing costs included in historical net income.
(4)   Adjustment for interest expense on the Seller’s mortgage note included in historical net income, which will not be assumed by the Company.
(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

Table of Contents
 

depreciable basis allocated to building and improvements and furniture and equipment is $22,211 and $531, resulting in depreciation of $740 and $107, respectively.

(6)   Adjustment for the Company’s internal estimate of insuring the replacement value of the property.
(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 $24,446 of borrowings under the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility to finance the acquisition. The interest is based on the Company’s 2002 weighted average interest rate on the senior unsecured credit facility of approximately 4.3%, and is net of estimated unused commitment fees of $92.
(D)   Represents the income tax expense and minority interest effect expected from the Hotel George acquisition. The income tax expense is 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 and is calculated as follows:

 

Pro forma net income from Hotel George acquisition

   $ 898  

Add: Depreciation

(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.

 

The cumulative minority interest effect of the Hotel George acquisition is calculated by using the Company’s 2002 weighted average minority interest percentage of 2.3% as follows:

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 Statement of Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2003

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

 

(A)   Represents unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as filed on Form 10-Q.
(B)   Represents historical hotel operations of Hotel George for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in net income from hotel operations is comprised of the following:

 

Historical net income (1)

   $ 481  

Add: Depreciation (2)

     402  

Amortization (3)

     115  

Interest expense (4)

     246  

Less: Depreciation on acquisition cost basis (5)

Pro forma net income from Hotel George acquisition

   $ 804  
    



(1)   Represents historical net income of Capitol Hotel, L.L.C. (the “Seller”) and its hotel operations and restaurant lease revenue reflected in the unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
(2)   Adjustment for historical depreciation basis included in the unaudited interim financial statements of the Seller for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company has included its estimate of depreciation in the net income from hotel operations, based on the purchase price allocation (see (5) below).
(3)   Represents amortization on the Seller’s deferred financing costs included in historical net income.
(4)   Adjustment for interest expense on the Seller’s mortgage note included in historical net income, which will not be assumed by the Company.
(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 improvements and furniture and equipment is $22,211 and $531, resulting in depreciation of $370 and $53, respectively.

(6)   Adjustment for the Company’s internal estimate of insuring the replacement value of the property.
(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 $24,446 of borrowings under the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility to finance the acquisition. The interest is based on the Company’s weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2003 on the senior unsecured credit facility of approximately 3.8%, and is net of estimated unused commitment fees of $45.
(D)   Represents the income tax expense and minority interest effect expected from the Hotel George acquisition. The income tax expense is 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 and is calculated as follows:

 

Pro forma net income from Hotel George acquisition

   $ 804  

Add: Depreciation

     423  

Real estate taxes

     141  

Property insurance

     26  

General and administrative

     30  

Local franchise income tax

     43  

Less: Participating lease expense (1)

     (1,392 )
    


LHL net income from Hotel George operations

     75  

LHL estimated combined 2003 tax rate

     41.5 %
    


Estimated income tax expense

   $ 31  
    



(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.

 

The cumulative minority interest effect of the Hotel George acquisition is calculated by using the Company’s weighted average minority interest percentage of 2.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as follows:

 

Pro forma net income from Hotel George acquisition

   $ 804  

Less: Interest expense

     (420 )

Income tax expense

Net income before minority interest

Weighted average minority interest percentage

     2.3 %
    


Minority interest expense

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.
