ESSEX HOSPITALITY ASSOCIATES IV L.P.
(A New York Limited Partnership)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
June 30, 1997
(1) ORGANIZATION
Essex Hospitality Associates IV L.P. (the Partnership) is a New York
limited partnership formed on August 30, 1995 for the purpose of acquiring
land and constructing, owning and operating a series of hotels. The
Partnership may also invest in and lend funds to other partnerships that
own hotels. The Partnership is financing its activities through a public
offering of notes and limited partnership units. The Partnership's general
partner is Essex Partners Inc. (Essex Partners), a subsidiary of Essex
Investment Group, Inc. (Essex).
The Partnership has acquired land in order to construct and operate hotels.
In December 1995, land was purchased in Solon, Ohio. The Solon site is now
under construction for a Hampton Inn hotel which opened August 1, 1997. As
a condition to receiving permanent financing, a special purpose entity was
created to own the Solon Hampton Inn, Solon Hotel LLC. The managing member
of Solon Hotel LLC is Essex Hotel LLC, a single purpose entity created to
act as the managing member of Solon Hotel LLC. The membership interests in
Solon Hotel LLC are owned 99% by the Partnership and 1% by Essex Hotel LLC,
whose sole member is the Partnership.
In December 1995, the Partnership also purchased land in Warwick, Rhode
Island in anticipation of the construction of a Homewood Suites hotel.
Construction was delayed at as a result of higher than projected
construction costs and a change in market conditions. The Partnership has
decided not to proceed with construction of the Homewood Suites and is
currently pursuing a sale of the site. The disposal is not expected to have
a significant impact on the Partnership's financial statements.
In June, 1997, the Partnership purchased land in Erie, Pennsylvania for
construction of a Hampton Inn hotel. In June, 1997, the Partnership
transferred the Erie property to a single purpose entity, Erie Hotel LLC.
The managing member of Erie Hotel LLC is Essex Hotels II LLC, a single
purpose entity created to act as the managing member of Erie Hotel LLC. The
membership interests in Erie Hotel LLC are owned 99% by the Partnership and
1% by Essex Hotels II LLC, whose sole member is the Partnership. The
Partnership is currently negotiating with GMAC for a first mortgage loan in
the principal amount of $4.5 million to finance the construction of the
Erie Hampton Inn hotel.
In January 1996, the Partnership acquired a 54% limited partnership
interest in Essex Glenmaura L.P. (Glenmaura) through the purchase of 12.5
limited partnership units for $1,250,000. The purchase price was equal to
the prorata portion of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Glenmaura
owns and operates a Courtyard by Marriott hotel near Scranton,
Pennsylvania. Construction of the hotel was completed during 1996 and
operations began on September 4, 1996. As a condition to receiving
permanent financing for the Solon Hampton Inn, the Partnership was required
to reduce its investment in Glenmaura to less than 50%. In June 1997, 1.05
units were sold to the general partner for $105,000, reducing the
Partnership's interest to 49.8%.
The following is a general description of the allocation of income, loss,
and distributions. For a more comprehensive description see the Partnership
Agreement:
1
<PAGE>
ESSEX HOSPITALITY ASSOCIATES IV L.P.
(A New York Limited Partnership)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
June 30, 1997
(1) ORGANIZATION (continued)
Allocation of income from operations will be allocated 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partner until the amount
allocated to the limited partners equals the cumulative annual return
of 8% of their contribution. Any remaining income from operations is
allocated 80% to the limited partners and 20% to the general partner.
Income on the sale of any or all of the hotels is allocated 99% to the
limited partners until each limited partner has been allocated income
in an amount equal to his or her pro rata share of the nondeductible
syndication expenses and sales commission and 1% to the general
partner. Thereafter, income on the sale of any or all the hotels is
allocated in the same manner as income from operations.
Allocations of losses from operations will be allocated 80% to the
limited partners and 20% to the general partner in the amounts
sufficient to offset all income which was allocated 80% to the limited
partners. Thereafter, operating losses are allocated 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partner. Loss on the sale of
any or all of the hotels will be first allocated in the same manner as
losses from operations, except that the allocation of such loss would
be made prior to allocations of income from operations. All other
losses are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general
partner.
Cash distributions will initially be made 99% to the limited partners
and 1% to the general partner. After the limited partners have
received a cumulative annual return of 8% of their contribution,
additional distributions may then be made 80% to the limited partners
and 20% to the general partner. Distributions of the net proceeds of
sale or refinancing of any or all hotels will be made 1% to the
general partner and 99% to the limited partners prorata in accordance
with the number of units held by each limited partner until the
limited partners have received distributions from sale or refinance of
hotels equal to $1,000 per unit. Thereafter, distributions shall next
be made 1% to the general partner and 99% to the limited partners
until each limited partner has received any unpaid cumulative return
accrued through the date of the distribution. Additional distributions
will then be made 20% to the general partner and 80% to the limited
partners.
Essex Partners and its affiliates are receiving substantial fees in
connection with the offering of notes and limited partnership units.
Additional fees will be paid to them in connection with the acquisition,
development and operation of the hotels and management of the Partnership
(see note 5).
In accordance with the Partnership agreement, the ratio of gross proceeds
from the offering of limited partnership units to total gross proceeds from
the public offering of notes and limited partnership units prior to the
termination of the offering may not be less than .15 to 1. At June 30,
1997, that ratio was .31 to 1.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements of the Partnership were prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial data included in these financial statements is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such financial data
includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair
presentation of the Partnership's financial condition and results of
operation.
INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP
Investment in partnership with a 50% or less ownership interest will be
accounted for by the equity method. Ownership interests exceeding 50% will
be accounted for under the consolidated method.
The statement of operations and cash flows include the accounts of the
Partnership and Glenmaura through June 9, 1997, date upon which the
Partnership's ownership interest of Glenmaura decreased to less than 50% as
discussed in note 1. For the period from June 10, 1997 through June 30,
1997, the Partnership's investment in Glenmaura is accounted for under the
equity method.
INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE
Investment in real estate is stated at cost. Investment in real estate is
reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed circumstances may
affect the underlying basis of the asset. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method for buildings and accelerated methods for land
improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment over the following
estimated useful lives of the assets as each hotel commences operations:
Buildings 39 years
Land improvements 15 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 - 7 years
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of
purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
DEFERRED COSTS
Costs of issuing the debt will be amortized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the debt.
Franchise fees paid for the right to own and operate the hotels will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of each franchise
agreement, as each hotel commences operations.
SYNDICATION COSTS
Selling commissions and legal, accounting, printing and other filing costs
totaling $327,138 related to the offering of the limited partnership units
were charged against the proceeds of the public offering.
INCOME TAXES
No provision for income taxes has been provided since any liability is the
individual responsibility of the partners.
RECOGNITION OF REVENUE
Revenues are recognized as earned in accordance with contractual
arrangements for each transaction.
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PER UNIT DATA
Net loss per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing net loss by the
weighted average number of units outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of units outstanding was 2,402 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the general partner to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of asset and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

<PAGE>
(3) DEBT
FIRST MORTGAGE LOAN
On July 7, 1997, Solon Hotel LLC obtained permanent financing from GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation for $4,500,000. The term of the loan will
be for four years with a one year extension available upon the payment of
an extension fee and if certain debt service coverage is attained. Interest
will accrue at 3.25% over the 30-day LIBOR index. Monthly payments of
interest only will be due for the first year. Principal and interest
payments are due thereafter based on a 25-year amortization. Starting in
the second year of the loan, Solon Hotel LLC will be required to maintain a
replacement reserve of 2% of monthly room revenues. The replacement reserve
payment will increase to 4% of monthly room revenues in the third year of
the loan. The loan is collateralized by the real and personal property and
certain other assets.
SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE
Subordinated notes payable of the Partnership of $5,298,000 bear interest
at a rate of 10.5% per annum, payable monthly, and mature December 31,
2001, unless extended by the Partnership to December 31, 2002 upon payment
to holders of an extension fee equal to .5% of the principal amount of the
subordinated notes outstanding. The notes are issued as unsecured
obligations of the Partnership.
The aggregate annual principal payments of the debt obligations due for the
six months ended December 31, 1997 and the years subsequent to 1997 are as
follows:
1997 -0-
1998 -0-
1999 -0-
2000 -0-
2001 5,298,000
-----------
5,298,000
For the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, interest of $91,121 and

(4) FRANCHISE FEES
In 1996, Promus Corporation (Promus) approved a license agreement for the
Partnership to operate a Hampton Inn hotel in Solon, Ohio. An initial
franchise fee of $40,000 was paid. In 1997, the Partnership entered into a
license agreement with Promus to operate a Hampton Inn in Erie,
Pennsylvania which required an initial franchise fee of $45,000. The term
and amortization period of the license agreements is twenty years. In
addition, for each hotel, the Partnership will be required to pay Promus a
monthly royalty fee of 4% of gross rooms revenues, a monthly
marketing/reservation fee of 4% of gross rooms revenue, an initial software
license fee of $3,000 plus $85 per guest room with a monthly maintenance
charge of $200 to $400 per month, and a monthly amount equal to any sales
tax or similar tax imposed on Promus on payments received under the license
agreement.
Promus requires the Partnership to establish a capital reserve escrow
account based on a percentage of gross revenues generated by each hotel
which will be used for product quality requirements of the hotel.
Cumulative funding of the reserve for the first five years increases from
1% to 5% of gross revenues and stabilizes at 5% for the term of the
agreement. The Promus franchise agreements impose certain restrictions on
the transfer of limited partnership units. Promus restricts the sale,
pledge or transfer of units in excess of 25% without their consent.
In 1995, the Partnership entered into a license agreement with Promus to
operate a Homewood Suites hotel in Warwick, Rhode Island. An initial
franchise fee of $40,000 was paid. The franchise agreement for the Homewood
Suites in Warwick has expired. The franchise fee has been written off since
the franchise agreement has expired.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Scope of Business
The Partnership is a New York Limited Partnership formed to construct,
own and operate a 120-room hotel, Courtyard by Marriott, Southeast of
Scranton, Pennsylvania under a franchise agreement with Marriott
International, Inc. (the Project). Construction was completed during
1996 and operations began on September 4, 1996.
The Partnership was formed on May 18, 1995 and will terminate on the
earlier of December 31, 2045 or the date the Partnership is terminated
pursuant to the partnership agreement or by law.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The interim financial data included in these financial statements is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such financial data
includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a
fair presentation of the Partnership's financial condition and results
of operations
.
Allocations of Income or Loss
The Partnership agreement provides that net losses of the Partnership
be first allocated among the Partners to the extent of the positive
balances in the Partners' capital accounts, to make the respective
balances equal to the distributions that would have been made had the
aggregate balances in all Partners' capital accounts been distributed
in accordance with each Partner's pro rata share. Losses are next
allocated in accordance with each Partner's pro rata share in an amount
equal to the difference between nonrecourse debt of the Partnership and
the adjusted basis of the Partnership property securing such
nonrecourse debt. All additional losses are allocated to the General
Partner. Net income is allocated first to the General Partner in an
amount equal to the loss allocated to the General Partner as described
above. Next, income is allocated in accordance with each Partner's pro
rata share in an amount equal to the loss allocated to the Partners as
described above. Income is then allocated to those Partners with
negative balances in their capital accounts. All additional income is
then allocated in accordance with each Partner's pro rata share.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the financial statements, cash and cash equivalents
include money market funds and commercial savings accounts.
Method of Accounting
The Partnership has prepared its financial statements on the accrual
method of accounting.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been provided since any liability is
the individual responsibility of the Partners.
Investment in Real Estate
The investment in real estate is stated at cost and includes $261,929
of capitalized interest. Depreciation is calculated using straight-line
and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

share at an amount and time determined by the General Partner.
Syndication Costs
Selling commissions, legal and other costs totaling $46,617 related to
the offering of limited Partnership units were charged against

accepted accounting principles requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized as earned in accordance with contractual
arrangements for each transaction.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of", the Partnership reviews long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles for possible impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable.
2. DEPOSIT
The Partnership has made a non-refundable deposit of $55,000 pursuant
to an option to purchase a second parcel of land (the Second Project)
adjacent to the Project for purposes of constructing a second hotel.

Notes Payable
Notes payable consist of $1,500,000 of unsecured notes requiring
monthly installments of interest only at 10.5% per annum. The notes
mature on June 1, 1998 upon which all principal will be due unless the
Partnership exercises its early repayment or note extension options.
The Partnership has the right to repay the notes at face value. The
Partnership also has the option to exercise two one-year extensions at
extension fees ranging from one-half to one percent. Essex Partners
Inc. guarantees payment of principal and interest on the notes.
Mortgage Loan
On February 28, 1997, the Partnership obtained permanent financing from
GMAC Corporation for $5,000,000. The term of the loan is four years
with a one year extension available if certain debt service coverage is
attained. Monthly payments of interest only are due for the first year.
Interest accrues at 3% over the LIBOR rate. Principal and interest
payments are due thereafter based on a twenty-five year loan
amortization. Starting in the second year of the loan, the Partnership
will be required to maintain a replacement reserve escrow at 4% of room
revenues. A commitment fee of $50,000 (1% of the loan proceeds) was
paid, 50% of the fee upon acceptance of the commitment and 50% at
closing. The loan is collateralized by the real and personal property
and certain other assets.
The aggregate annual principal payments for the years subsequent to
1997 are as follows: (there are no principal payments required in 1997)

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Partnership was formed on August 30, 1995. Since its formation, the
Partnership has been involved in raising capital pursuant to the Original
Prospectus, and the acquisition and construction of properties. The Partnership
has received Gross Offering Proceeds of $7.6 million, including approximately
$6.3 million from the sale of subordinated notes and approximately $2.3 million
from the sale of limited partnership units. The two sites specified in the
Prospectus were acquired on December 29, 1995, a 2.535 acre site in Warwick,
Rhode Island and a 2.28 acre site in Solon, Ohio. Limited partnership units in
another partnership were purchased in the first quarter, 1996.
The Partnership began construction of a 103-room Hampton Inn in Solon, Ohio in
late 1996, which opened August 1, 1997. The Solon Hampton Inn is expected to
cost about $7,000,000, including the cost of the land, cost of construction,
cost of furnishings, construction period interest, financing costs (debt and
equity) and all soft costs such as architectural costs, engineering, franchise
fee and working capital. The General Partner secured first mortgage financing
from GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation (GMAC) in July, 1997. As a condition
of receiving financing, the Partnership was required to create special purpose
entities to own each of its properties. Solon Hotel LLC was created to own the
Solon Hampton Inn. The membership interests of the Solon Hotel LLC are owned 99%
by the Partnership and 1% by Essex Hotel LLC, whose sole member is the
Partnership. The first mortgage is in the amount of $4.5 million and will be
advanced in three installments. The first installment of $1,000,000 (net of
offering costs) was received upon the closing of the loan. The second and third
installments are expected to be advanced after the hotel is completed. The term
of the first mortgage loan is for a period of four years, with a one year
extension upon the payment of an extension fee and the achievement of a
specified debt service coverage ratio. Monthly payments of interest only are due
for the first year, thereafter, monthly payments of principal and interest are
due based on a 25 year amortization. Interest will accrue at the rate of 3.25%
over the 30- day LIBOR index. Starting in the second year of the loan, Solon
Hotel LLC will be required to maintain a replacement reserve escrow at 2% of
room revenues. The required replacement reserve increases to 4% of room revenues
in the third year of the loan. The balance of the amount required to complete
the Solon Hampton Inn was provided through the Partnership's offering of Notes
and Units. The General Partner has provided interim financing for the Solon
Property until the Solon Hotel LLC received the amount due from GMAC under the
first mortgage financing. As of June 30, 1997, a total of $596,000 is owed to
the General Partner, which is composed of construction advances and unpaid fees.
The Partnership acquired a site in Erie Pennsylvania in June, 1997 as a possible
location for the construction and operation of a Hampton Inn hotel. The site is
approximately 2.5 acres and was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of
$650,000 plus closing costs of $27,000 and demolition costs of approximately
$15,000. The Partnership has obtained a license agreement from Promus Hotel to
construct and operate a 100-room Hampton Inn hotel. The General Partner expects
to start construction of the Erie Hampton Inn in October, 1997. The hotel is
expected to open in the late spring, 1998. The Partnership does not have
sufficient funds to complete construction of the Erie Hampton Inn. So as to
enable the Partnership to pursue favorable external financing opportunities with
respect to the Erie Hampton Inn, in June 1997 the Partnership transferred the
Erie property to Erie Hotel LLC, a single purpose entity. The membership
interests of the Erie Hotel LLC are owned 99% by the Partnership and 1% by Essex
Hotels II LLC, whose sole member is the Partnership. The Partnership is
currently negotiating with GMAC for a first mortgage loan in the principal
amount of $4.5 million to finance construction of the Erie Hampton Inn. As of
the date of this filing, the Partnership has received no commitment for external
financing.
The Partnership acquired 12.5 limited partnership units in Essex Glenmaura for
$1,250,000 with proceeds from the offering, representing a limited partnership
interest of 54.3%. Essex Glenmaura completed construction of a 120- room
Marriott Courtyard in Scranton, Pennsylvania in September, 1996. The total cost
of the project was $8.7 million, including the cost of the land, cost of
construction, cost of furnishings, construction period interest, financing costs
(debt and equity) and all soft costs such as architectural costs, engineering,
franchise fee and working capital. The project was funded with $2,300,000 of
partner equity, $1,500,000 of unsecured notes and a $5,000,000 first mortgage
loan from GMAC. The term of the first mortgage loan is for a period of four
years, with a one year extension upon the payment of an extension fee and the
achievement of a specified debt service coverage ratio. Monthly payments of
interest only are due for the first year, thereafter, monthly payments of
principal and
<PAGE>
interest are due based on a 25 year amortization. Interest will accrue at the
rate of 3% over the 30-day LIBOR index. Starting in the second year of the loan,
Essex Glenmaura will be required to maintain a replacement reserve escrow at 4%
of room revenues. As a condition of receiving the first mortgage loan for the
Solon Hampton Inn, the Partnership was required to reduce its investment in
Essex Glenmaura to less than 50%. In June 1997, the Partnership sold 1.05
limited partnership units to the General Partner at a purchase price of
$105,000, which is equal to the purchase price originally paid by the
Partnership. As a result, the Partnership now owns a 49.8% interest in Essex
Glenmaura.
The Partnership intended to build an 80-room Homewood Suites hotel in Warwick,
Rhode Island. The purchase price for the property was $501,400. However, prior
to commencing construction, the Partnership learned that additional hotels were
planned for construction near the Warwick site which would be competitive with
the Partnership's hotel and result in a 57% potential increase in the number of
hotel rooms in the area. The Partnership elected to postpone construction until
it could better assess the effect of the additional hotel rooms on the expected
performance of the Partnership's hotel. Based on the results of an updated
market survey, the Partnership concluded that the estimated 57% potential
increase in the number of hotel rooms in the area would have a significant
negative impact upon the expected performance of the Partnership's hotel. In
light of these findings, the Partnership has elected not to proceed with
development of the Warwick site and is currently pursuing the sale of the site.
In the second quarter, 1997, the franchise agreement for the Warwick site
expired. Although the Partnership has received some interest in the site from
potential buyers, there is no assurance that the Partnership will sell the
Warwick site or that it will be sold at a price sufficient to enable the
Partnership to recover all the costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership
with respect to the Warwick site. The Partnership has invested approximately
$682,000 in the Warwick site, including the cost of the site, the cost of the
franchise fee and engineering and architectural costs.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion analyzes the financial statements of the Partnership as
of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, which are attached. The Partnership had
an ownership interest of 54.3% in Essex Glenmaura until June 9, 1997, at which
time the Partnership's ownership interest was reduced to 49.8%. Accordingly, the
statements of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 1997
include the accounts of the Partnership and Essex Glenmaura through June 9,
1997. For the period from June 10, 1997 to June 30, 1997, the Partnership's
investment in Essex Glenmaura is accounted for on the equity method. The
financial statements of the Partnership and Essex Glenmaura as of December 31,
1996 are consolidated. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Partnership and Essex Glenmaura.
From April 1, 1997 to June 30, 1997, the total assets of the Partnership
decreased approximately $5.8 million. The primary reason for the decrease was
the change in accounting method for Essex Glenmaura from the consolidated to the
equity method. The investments in real estate decreased $3.8 million in total.
The investment in the Solon and Erie Properties increased by $3.8 million,
primarily relating to construction costs for the Hampton Inn in Solon. This
increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $7.6 million for Essex
Glenmaura. The Partnership's cash balance decreased from approximately $2.2
million to $11,000 from costs incurred in the construction of the Hampton Inn in
Solon and the purchase of the property in Erie. The assets of the Partnership at
June 30, 1997 include $529,000 of investment in partnership, which represents
the Partnership's investment in Glenmaura, net of reductions for net losses of
$603,000 incurred through June 30, 1997, the sale of 1.05 limited partnership
units for $105,000 and distributions of $12,500. The deferred assets of the
Partnership decreased $201,000 from the change in accounting method for Essex
Glenmaura as discussed above. During the quarter, the Partnership incurred
additional deferred costs of $113,000, representing additional debt acquisition
costs from the offering of subordinated notes, costs incurred to obtain the
first mortgage financing for the Solon Hampton Inn, the $45,000 franchise fee
paid for the Erie Hampton Inn and additional organization costs of $22,000.
The Partnership's liabilities decreased approximately 5.2 million from April 1,
1996 to June 30, 1997, primarily from the change in accounting method as
discussed previously. From April 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997, the outstanding
balance in subordinated notes payable increased $116,000 from the issuance of
subordinated notes payable in the Partnership's offering. Accounts
payable-construction increased $559,000 from outstanding
<PAGE>
construction invoices for the Solon Hampton Inn. The first mortgage loan payable
and notes payable of $6,500,000 as of March 31, 1997 represented liabilities of
Essex Glenmaura, which no longer are presented in the financial statements due
to the change in accounting method. In June, 1997, the general partner of the
Partnership, Essex Partners Inc., advanced $596,000 as a short-term loan to the
Partnership for construction costs incurred for the Hampton Inn in Solon. The
Partnership expects to repay all amounts due the general partner during the
third quarter from the proceeds of the first mortgage loan on the Solon Hampton
Inn. The minority interest in Glenmaura is no longer presented in the balance
sheet due to the change in accounting method for Glenmaura. Partners' capital
was unchanged for the second quarter. During the quarter, the Partnership
received $42,000 in limited partner equity from proceeds of the Partnership's
offering and collected $128,000 in promissory note payments from limited
partners. These increases were offset by $5,000 in syndication costs and the net
loss of 165,000 for the Partnership from April 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997.
The primary revenue source for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was room revenues
of $334,000 from Essex Glenmaura, which was the only hotel in operation. Food
and beverage revenue and telephone and other commission revenue totaled $62,000,
for total revenues of $396,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 1996 there were
no operating hotels. The only income for 1996 was interest income of $7,000.
Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, before depreciation,
totaled $299,000. Depreciation of $102,000 was recorded for a loss from
operations of $5,000. Before depreciation, the single largest operating expense
for the Partnership is rooms expense, followed by food and beverage expenses.
Operating expenses for 1996 totaled $22,000 and were composed primarily of
depreciation of $11,000. Since there were no operating revenues for 1996, the
loss from operations was $22,000. The Partnership's interest expense for 1997,
net of interest income was $130,000, representing interest incurred on the notes
payable and the first mortgage loan for Glenmaura through June 9, 1997, and
interest on the subordinated notes for the quarter to the extent the proceeds
were not used for construction. The net interest expense for 1996 was $94,000,
representing interest on the subordinated notes to the extent the proceeds were
not used for construction. Also included in other expenses are the Partnership's
equity in the loss of Glenmaura for the period from June 10, 1997 through June
30, 1997 of $12,000 and the loss on termination of the Warwick franchise
agreement of $40,000. The net loss for the quarter is $187,000 before allocating
$23,000 of the net loss to the minority interest in Glenmaura. The net loss for
the Partnership for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $165,000. For the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, the loss before minority interest was $115,000, and
the net loss was $113,000 after allocating $2,500 of loss to the minority
interests in Glenmaura.
The Courtyard by Marriott owned by Glenmaura opened in September, 1996. The
property achieved an average occupancy of 69% for the second quarter of 1997, at
an average daily rate of $68.20. The revenue per available room for the second
quarter of 1997 was $47.06. Glenmaura is in the start-up phase of operations.
New hotels require from several months to a couple years to establish a stable
customer base. During the start-up phase, occupancy is building, and room rates
may be lower to attract new customers. When a strong customer base is
established, room rates can be raised to a more competitive level.
At the current time, the Partnership does not have sufficient funds to complete
the construction of the Erie Property. The Partnership intends to raise
additional funds from the Offering and obtain External Financing from an
institutional lender. No commitments have been received as of the date of this
Prospectus for such External Financing. Since the Partnership can control the
timing of construction, the construction of the Erie Property can be delayed
until the required additional financing can be obtained. The Partnership
included a working capital reserve in its total costs for the Solon Hampton Inn.
The Partnership expects that the working capital reserve will be sufficient to
fund any operating deficits of the Solon Hampton Inn.
