Subject to Completion, dated June 19, 1996
PROSPECTUS
7,875,000 COMMON SHARES
BOYKIN LODGING TRUST, INC.
Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc. (the "Company") was formed to continue and expand
the hotel ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and repositioning operations of
Boykin Management Company and its affiliates (collectively, the "Boykin Group").
The Company will own nine national franchise hotels, all managed by the Boykin
Group, containing a total of 2,408 rooms located in California, Florida, New
York, North Carolina and Ohio (the "Initial Hotels") upon completion of this
offering (the "Offering"). The Company's operations will focus on the ownership
of full-service hotels that serve both business and leisure travelers under
franchise agreements with Marriott, Radisson, Holiday Inn and other national
franchisors.
The Company will operate as a self-administered equity real estate
investment trust (a "REIT"). The Initial Hotels will be leased to Boykin
Management Company, Ltd. (the "Initial Lessee"), which is owned by Robert W.
Boykin and John E. Boykin, pursuant to leases (the "Percentage Leases") designed
to allow the Company to achieve substantial participation in the future revenue
growth generated by the Initial Hotels. The Company intends to lease its hotel
properties to the Initial Lessee and other selected operating companies. The
Company intends to pay regular quarterly dividends, initially at a rate of $1.80
per share per annum, beginning with a prorated dividend for the quarter ending
September 30, 1996.
All of the common shares, without par value (the "Common Shares"), offered
hereby are being offered by the Company. Upon completion of the Offering, the
Common Shares offered hereby will represent 84.1% of the fully diluted equity of
the Company. Members of management and other Boykin Group Affiliates will own
approximately 14.4% of the equity of the Company in the form of interests
exchangeable for Common Shares.
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Shares. Application has been made to list the Common Shares on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol "BOY". It is currently anticipated that the
initial public offering price per Common Share will be $22.00. See
"Underwriting" for a discussion of the factors to be considered in determining
the initial public offering price.
See "RISK FACTORS" beginning on page 17 for certain factors relevant to an
investment in the Common Shares, including:
- dependence of the Company on Robert W. Boykin and other key personnel;
- dependence of the Company on lessees for its operating income;
- risks affecting the hotel industry generally and the Company's hotels
specifically, including potential loss of franchises and risks arising
from requirements imposed by franchisors;
- conflicts of interest between the Company and certain of its Affiliates,
including lack of independent appraisals for the Initial Hotels and lack
of arm's-length negotiations in connection with the formation of the
Company;
- risks associated with the leasing, acquisition and development of real
property;
- the Company's lack of operating history and lack of experience in
operating in accordance with the requirements for maintaining its
qualification as a REIT;
- adverse tax consequences if the Company fails to qualify as a REIT; and
- limitations on shareholders' ability to change control of the Company,
including restriction of ownership of Common Shares by any single person
to 9.8% of the outstanding shares.

THE COMPANY
The Company was formed to continue and expand the hotel ownership,
acquisition, redevelopment and repositioning activities of the Boykin Group and
will operate as a self-administered equity real estate investment trust (a
"REIT"). Upon completion of the Offering and Formation Transactions described
herein, the Company will own nine hotels with a total of 2,408 guest rooms. The
Initial Hotels are operated under franchise license agreements with premiere
nationally-recognized hotel chains, including Marriott, Radisson, Holiday Inn,
Quality Suites, and Hampton Inns. Serving both business and leisure travelers,
the Initial Hotels are geographically diversified and are located in Berkeley,
California; Buffalo, New York; Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio; Charlotte, North
Carolina; and Ft. Myers and Melbourne, Florida. The Initial Hotels include eight
full-service hotels and one limited-service hotel, all of which compete in the
upscale to moderate price segment of the hospitality market. For the twelve
months ended March 31, 1996, the Initial Hotels had an average occupancy rate of
75.7%, an average daily room rate ("ADR") of $86.49 and an average room revenue
per available room night ("REVPAR") of $65.46. The Boykin Group developed and
has owned and managed seven of the Initial Hotels since their opening.
The Company will capitalize on the substantial hotel operating,
development, acquisition and transactional experience of its management and the
Boykin Group. The Boykin Group was founded in 1959, and was one of the first
franchisees of Marriott Hotels and an early franchisee of Howard Johnson's
Hotels. Since its founding, the Boykin Group has developed 13 full-service
hotels containing a total of 3,085 rooms and has owned or managed 36 properties
containing a total of 6,943 rooms. Robert W. Boykin, the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, has over 27 years of experience in the hotel
industry, all with the Boykin Group. Raymond P. Heitland, the Company's Chief
Financial Officer, has 26 years of industry experience and tenure with the
Boykin Group. Mark L. Bishop, the Company's Senior Vice President --
Acquisitions and Development, has 18 years of industry experience. During the
past 10 years, the Company's officers have directly overseen the acquisition,
disposition, recapitalization, development and repositioning of approximately
$750 million of hotel assets throughout the United States. Upon completion of
the Offering, Company management and other Boykin Group Affiliates will own
approximately 14.4% of the outstanding equity of the Company. All future hotel
acquisition, development and ownership activities of the Boykin Group will be
conducted through the Company.

<PAGE> 8
The Company will focus on maximizing cash flow from both the Initial Hotels
and acquired hotels through the implementation of the active asset management
strategies of the Boykin Group. The current and the historical performance of
the Initial Hotels have exceeded industry averages. During the five year period
ended December 31, 1995, the Initial Hotels' REVPAR exceeded the REVPAR of their
local competing hotels (as consistently defined by Boykin Management for
performance evaluation purposes) by 17% on average and exceeded the U.S. average
REVPAR for upscale/moderate full-service hotels by 27%. In 1991, a year
generally considered weak in the hotel industry, the REVPAR of the Initial
Hotels exceeded the REVPAR of their local competing hotels by over 19% and
exceeded the U.S. average REVPAR for upscale/moderate full-service hotels by
over 29%. Over the three year and five year periods ended December 31, 1995 the
aggregate revenues of the Initial Hotels increased at a compound annual rate of
4.4% and 3.6% per year, and earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization and unusual and extraordinary items ("EBITDA") from
the Initial Hotels increased at a compound average growth rate of 13.4% and 9.8%
per year, respectively.
The following charts compare average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the
Initial Hotels with that for their local competition and all upscale/moderate
U.S. hotels for the periods indicated.

Management believes that, while the lodging industry as a whole is
benefiting from an improved supply/demand dynamic, the greatest opportunities
for revenue growth and profitability will arise from skillful management of
hotel properties. An integral element of this management is the continuous
evaluation of each hotel's position in its market and the implementation, as
necessary, of changes in franchise, theme and customer focus to maximize the
continuing returns from the hotel. The Company attributes the excellent
performance of the Initial Hotels to the successful implementation of this asset
management strategy.
The Company also intends to achieve a significant part of its growth
through the acquisition, redevelopment and repositioning of additional
full-service hotels. The Company has obtained a commitment for a $75 million
credit facility (the "Credit Facility") for acquiring additional hotels without
financing contingencies, and will have no outstanding indebtedness upon
completion of the Offering. The Company believes that there are full-service
hotel properties that can be acquired at a discount to replacement cost, and
that many of these properties are located in areas of increasing demand. The
Company further believes that the full-service segment of the market, in
particular, has potential for improved performance as business and leisure
travel continues to increase and demand rises at a faster rate than supply.
While the Company intends to maintain its focus on full-service hotels, it may
also acquire upscale limited-service hotels in selected cases when doing so will
further its strategic objectives. For example, when the Boykin Group acquired a
Holiday Inn in February 1996, it also acquired a Hampton Inn located in close
proximity to enable it to benefit from cross-over marketing and training and the
operating efficiencies achievable through having multiple hotels in one
geographic area.
In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company may not operate hotels. The
Company will lease its properties to established hotel operators pursuant to
leases that will provide the Company with the greater of a base rental income or
a percentage of revenues from operations. The Initial Hotels will be leased
pursuant to such leases (the "Percentage Leases") to the Initial Lessee. The
Company's structure is designed to accommodate multiple lessees, and the Company
intends to aggressively pursue relationships with additional hotel operators
that have successful operating histories and demonstrated management expertise.
THE INITIAL LESSEE
In connection with the Formation Transactions, Robert W. Boykin and John E.
Boykin will form and indirectly own the Initial Lessee. The Initial Lessee will
acquire and continue the 37-year hotel operation and management business of the
Boykin Group and will operate the Initial Hotels under the Percentage Leases.
The operations of the Boykin Group are fully integrated, with capabilities in
all phases of development and management of hotel properties. As of March 31,
1996, the Boykin Group had approximately 2,400 employees and owned or managed 21
properties containing 4,354 rooms located throughout the United States. Because
neither the Company nor the Initial Lessee will have to pay a separate hotel
management company to manage the Initial Hotels, the Company believes it will
obtain a higher rent than such added management arrangements would permit, thus
maximizing the Company's Percentage Lease revenues. The Company believes that
the Boykin Group's ability to achieve consistently above-average market
penetration during various economic cycles positions the Company, through the
Initial Lessee, to maximize its returns on the Initial Hotels.
The Initial Lessee's core capabilities will be based on continued
implementation of the Boykin Group's (i) commitment to superior customer service
and satisfaction; (ii) sophisticated sales and marketing systems, including
customer lead-generating and management incentive systems; (iii) effective
personnel recruitment, selection, orientation, training and retention programs;
(iv) comprehensive property operations and maintenance capabilities, including
design, renovation management, energy conservation, purchasing and preventive
maintenance; and (v) strong auditing, cash-handling, recordkeeping and
information management systems and controls.
While the Initial Lessee will operate and manage hotels only under the
Percentage Leases, its subsidiaries will continue hotel management activities
for owners other than the Company, the award-winning hotel interior design
business and the hotel and restaurant food, beverage, supply and equipment
purchasing business currently operated by the Boykin Group. The Company expects
that these operations will be continued in part with a view to introducing the
Company to acquisition opportunities. In addition, the income
3
<PAGE> 10
generated by the Initial Lessee and its subsidiaries will strengthen the Initial
Lessee's ability to perform under the Percentage Leases.
The Initial Lessee intends to develop incentive compensation plans for its
hotel-level and corporate-level senior executives which tie such compensation in
part to the performance of the Company and in part to the performance of the
Initial Hotels. Such plans may include awards of Company shares, options and
other similar incentives.
The Company and the Initial Lessee have agreed on several measures to align
the interests of the Initial Lessee and its owners with the interests of the
Company's shareholders and to minimize conflicts of interest between them:
- The Initial Lessee's owners and certain other Boykin Group
Affiliates will own approximately 14.3% of the Company following
completion of the Offering in the form of Units exchangeable, at the
Company's election, for Common Shares, and have agreed to retain
these interests for at least three years following completion of the
Offering;
- Robert W. Boykin will resign from his positions with Boykin
Management in connection with the Formation Transactions and will
not hold office in the Initial Lessee, and neither John E. Boykin
nor any other officer of the Initial Lessee will hold office in the
Company;
- Any distributions from the Initial Lessee (other than distributions
to cover income taxes) during the first ten years after the
Offering, and any net cash proceeds of any sale of the Initial
Lessee within ten years after the Offering, will be used to purchase
Units or Common Shares (subject to applicable ownership limitations)
that must be held for at least two years from the purchase date;
- The Initial Lessee's consolidated net worth on completion of the
Formation Transactions will be approximately $3 million, and half of
the Initial Lessee's consolidated earnings (after distributions to
cover income taxes) during the first ten years after the Offering
will be retained in the Initial Lessee and its subsidiaries until
their consolidated net worth reaches 25% of the aggregate annual
rent payments under the Percentage Leases (and will be retained
thereafter during that period to maintain that level);
- Determinations to be made on behalf of the Company in connection
with any conflict of interest involving any Boykin Group Affiliate
will be made by the Company's Independent Directors;
- All future hotel acquisition, development and ownership activities
of the Boykin Group will be conducted through the Company;
- Any change in control of the Initial Lessee without the prior
written consent of the Company will constitute a default under the
Percentage Leases; and
- The Percentage Leases will contain cross-default provisions that
will enhance the Company's ability to enforce strict compliance with
each Percentage Lease.
ADDITIONAL LESSEES
The Company believes that having multiple tenants will facilitate meeting
its growth objectives, and therefore intends to pursue relationships with
additional lessees. The Company believes there are a number of capable hotel
owner-operators who are undercapitalized and, therefore, unable to reposition
their properties adequately, or are faced with a difficult financing environment
because of today's increased equity requirements, and will be willing to engage
in a sale and leaseback of their properties on terms that would allow both
parties to participate in the improving fundamentals of the lodging industry. In
addition, the Company believes certain national franchisors are willing to
develop a relationship with the Company and may become additional lessees as a
means of expanding their franchise systems. The Company believes that its
management's long tenure and reputation in the hotel industry will provide the
Company access to these acquisition opportunities and enable the Company to
select hotel properties and lessees that will further its acquisition and growth
strategies.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Common Shares involves various risks, and prospective
investors should carefully consider the matters discussed under "Risk Factors"
prior to making any investment in the Company. These risks include, among
others, the risks associated with:
- Dependence on key personnel and control over the operations of the
Company, the Partnership and the Initial Lessee by Robert and John
Boykin;
- Dependence on lessees for operating income, including risks that the
lessees will become subject to liabilities relating to the Initial Hotels
and hotel properties subsequently leased to them, risks of default
resulting in the termination of franchise, liquor and other operating
licenses, and risks associated with re-leasing hotel properties after a
lessee default or other lease termination event;
- The hotel industry generally and the Initial Hotels specifically;
- Franchise relationships, including the possibility that a franchisor may
impose various increased costs, exercise options to buy or lease
properties, impose restrictions on the Company's or the Initial Lessee's
ability to compete with other franchisor-affiliated hotels, potential
loss of franchises on franchise defaults and the uncertainty and costs of
renewing franchises upon their expiration;
- Receipt by Boykin Group Affiliates, including Robert and John Boykin, of
substantial benefits from the Formation Transactions;
- Conflicts of interest between the Company and Boykin Group Affiliates,
including risks associated with the lack of third party appraisals for
the Initial Hotels and arm's-length negotiations in connection with the
formation of the Company;
- The acquisition, development and expansion of hotel properties;
- The ownership of real estate, including risks of changes in economic and
real estate market conditions, changes in interest rates and the
availability of financing, the impact of environmental laws, the ongoing
need for capital improvements, and other factors beyond the Company's
control;
- The Company's lack of operating history and lack of experience in
operating in accordance with the requirements for maintaining its
qualification as a REIT;
- The absence of any contractual limitation on debt that the Company may
incur;
- Limitations on shareholders' ability to acquire or change control of the
Company, including the restriction on ownership of Common Shares by any
single person to 9.8% of the outstanding shares;
- Taxation of the Company as a regular corporation if it fails to quality
as a REIT;
- Substantial and immediate dilution in the net tangible book value per
Common Share to be experienced by the purchasers of Common Shares in the
Offering; and
- The absence of any public market for the Company's Common Shares prior to
the Offering.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
The Company's primary business objectives are to maximize current returns
to shareholders through increases in cash flow available for distribution and to
increase long-term total returns to shareholders through appreciation in value
of the Common Shares. The Company will seek to achieve these objectives through
participation in increased revenues from the Initial Hotels pursuant to the
Percentage Leases and by selective acquisition, ownership, redevelopment,
repositioning and expansion of additional hotel properties. The Company will
seek to continue to invest in properties where the Company's established
industry and marketing expertise and other resources will enable it to improve
the acquired hotels' performance.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES
The Company's strategies to meet its objectives include (i) achieving
revenue growth in the Initial Hotels, (ii) acquiring and leasing hotel and
resort properties in the upscale and moderate markets on an accretive basis,
(iii) strategically upgrading hotel properties, and (iv) expanding and
developing additional hotel properties.
Internal Growth. The Company believes that, based on historical operating
results and the strength of the Company's management team, portfolio and
markets, the Initial Hotels should provide the Company with the opportunity for
cash flow growth through the Percentage Leases. Over the three year and five
year periods ended December 31, 1995 the aggregate total revenues of the Initial
Hotels increased at a compound annual rate of 4.4% and 3.6% per year, and EBITDA
from the Initial Hotels increased at a compound average growth rate of 13.4% and
9.8% per year, respectively. The Company believes that the revenue and cash flow
of the Initial Hotels will be maximized by intensive management and marketing.
The Company intends to derive increased cash flow through the application of the
Initial Lessee's operating strategies, which include the active management and
balancing of room rates with forecasted room demand in order to maximize total
hotel revenues (a system known as "yield management"). The Company believes that
the Initial Lessee's continued commitment to customer service and the experience
of its management team should position the Company to capitalize on the expected
continued strength in the economy and improvement in the U.S. hotel market. The
Company's objectives include enhancing its competitive market position through
the continuation of a regular program of renovation and capital improvement.
Acquisitions. The Company believes that attractive opportunities exist to
acquire full-service hotels serving the upscale and moderate market segments of
the lodging industry. The Company intends to concentrate its investment
activities on hotel properties that are in one or more of the following
categories:
- Product Type -- Full-service commercial hotels, airport hotels, major
tourist hotels and destination resorts in major markets and business
centers;
- Market Repositioning Opportunities -- Undervalued hotels whose
performance can be significantly enhanced through new brand affiliations,
implementation of new marketing strategies and effective yield
management;
- Redevelopment and Renovation Opportunities -- Hotels with sound
operational fundamentals that, because of a lack of capital, require
physical renovation or redevelopment to achieve their full performance
potential; and
- Portfolio Acquisitions -- Portfolios of hotels that result in geographic
economies of scale or that may be leased back to qualified hotel
operators as additional lessees, and that may benefit from the Company's
repositioning and redevelopment experience and access to capital.
As a result of the Company's management's successful transactional
activities, which include approximately $750 million in hotel acquisition,
disposition, recapitalization, renovation, development and repositioning over
the last 10 years, the Company believes it possesses a competitive advantage in
market knowledge, technical expertise and industry relationships that will
enable it to continue successfully to implement its
7
<PAGE> 14
acquisition strategy on a national scale. Further, the Company believes it will
benefit from its continuing relationship with the Initial Lessee and from
developing relationships with additional lessees who have a demonstrated history
of managing hotel properties. As a public company, the Company expects to have
access to a wide variety of financing sources to fund acquisitions, such as the
ability to issue public and private debt, equity and hybrid securities, and the
ability to utilize Units as consideration when cash is not appropriate for tax
or other reasons. Additionally, the Credit Facility will enable the Company to
contract for and complete the acquisition of additional hotels without financing
contingencies. See "The Company -- Business Objectives and
Strategies -- Financing Strategy" for a description of the terms of the credit
facility.
The Company's philosophy is to identify and actively seek hotel properties
that can be associated with the brands that will lead the hospitality industry
in REVPAR, such as Marriott(R), Radisson(R), Hilton(R), Hyatt(R), Westin(R),
Omni(R), Doubletree(R), Sheraton(R), Holiday Inn(R) and Quality Suites(R). The
Company believes that it can maximize its market share and revenues by taking
advantage of its orientation toward sales and marketing to identify the most
effective branding and to leverage its brands with effective direct sales
strategies. The Company expects to continue to affiliate with a number of
different franchise companies in order to maximize the performance of its hotels
by providing greater access to a broad base of national marketing and
reservation systems and to mitigate the risks of franchise loss and franchise
overlap. The Company will seek to maintain a geographically diversified hotel
portfolio, and may also cluster hotels within certain primary markets in order
to take advantage of operational and managerial economies of scale. The Company
believes it has the capacity to acquire additional hotels without significantly
increasing management and overhead expenses.
The Boykin Group's recent purchase of the Lake Norman hotel properties
exemplifies the strategies described above. The Company believes that those
hotels' present franchise affiliations will enable the Company to maximize
REVPAR in the local market. The hotels' purchase price represented a significant
discount to their replacement costs, and the hotels' historical earnings
represented an attractive yield on the purchase price. The Company believes that
the Initial Lessee can increase the ADR and REVPAR of both hotels, and the
Boykin Group has been implementing its yield management systems since the
acquisition to achieve these results. REVPAR for the three months ended March
31, 1996 increased over REVPAR for the same period in 1995 by 26% for the Lake
Norman Hampton Inn and by 20% for the Lake Norman Holiday Inn, with a resulting
increase in pro forma Percentage Lease revenues. The Boykin Group also caused
the Lake Norman hotels to implement a combined purchasing program, direct
overflow business to each other and begin cross-training and sharing employees.
The Company believes the economies gained from the clustering of the Lake Norman
acquisitions, combined with the active yield management strategies employed by
the Boykin Group at these hotels, has resulted in a significantly more
attractive yield to the Company than that calculated based on their trailing
operating performance at the time of the acquisitions.
Renovation and Development. The Company believes that a regular program of
capital improvements at the Initial Hotels, including replacement and
refurbishment of FF&E, will maintain and enhance their competitiveness and
maximize revenue growth under the Percentage Leases. During the fiscal years
1991 through 1995, approximately $18 million was spent on renovations and
capital improvements at the Initial Hotels, including approximately $1.2 million
for restoration of the Melbourne Quality Suites hotel following damage from
Hurricane Erin in August 1995. This represents an average of approximately
$1,400 per room per year (excluding the amount spent on the Melbourne property
restoration, which was funded entirely from insurance proceeds). The Company
will use approximately $3.5 million of the net proceeds of the Offering as its
initial contribution to its capital expenditures fund (the "Capital Expenditures
Fund"). The Percentage Leases require the Company to contribute to the Capital
Expenditures Fund additional aggregate minimum reserves of 4% of total revenue
of the Initial Hotels. For the 12-month period ended March 31, 1996, this
reserve would have represented approximately 6.1% of room revenue and an average
of approximately $1,400 per room. The Company believes that this exceeds, on a
per room basis, the capital expenditure reserves of all other publicly-traded
hotel REITs (based on a review of other publicly traded hotel REITs conducted by
the Company). The Company intends to use the Capital Expenditures Fund for the
replacement and refurbishment of FF&E and other capital expenditures
(approximately $250,000 of which is required by franchisors) to maintain and
enhance the competitive position of the Initial Hotels, although it may make
other uses of amounts in the fund that it considers appropriate from time to
time. The Boykin Group's experience in
8
<PAGE> 15
developing and renovating its properties will assist the Company in maintaining
its properties' competitive edge in their respective markets.
The Company may develop additional full-service or upscale limited-service
hotels on land that the Company acquires in its current geographic markets or on
land contiguous to the Initial Hotels. The Company believes that selective
development of hotels in its existing geographic markets would enable it to take
advantage of operating efficiencies to generate attractive returns on
investment.
Financing Strategy. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have
no outstanding debt. While its organizational documents contain no limitation on
the amount of debt it may incur, the Company, subject to the discretion of the
Board of Directors, intends to maintain a debt-to-total market capitalization
ratio (measured at the time debt is incurred) of not more than 45%. The Company
may from time to time re-evaluate its debt capitalization policy in light of
economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of
its properties, acquisition, development and expansion opportunities, and other
factors.
The Company has obtained a commitment for the Credit Facility from Lehman
Brothers Holdings, Inc. The commitment is contingent on, among other things, the
closing of the Offering. The Company intends to use this facility to provide
interim financing for property acquisitions and capital improvements in
anticipation of long-term financing and to fund working capital requirements.
The Credit Facility is expected to be secured by first mortgages on certain of
the Initial Hotels.
FORMATION TRANSACTIONS
The principal transactions in connection with the formation (the
"Formation") of the Company as a REIT and the acquisition of the Initial Hotels
by the Partnership (the "Formation Transactions") are as follows:
- The Company was formed as an Ohio corporation in February 1996 and issued
one Common Share to Raymond P. Heitland.
- Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will contribute
approximately $119 million of the net proceeds to the Partnership in
exchange for an approximately 80.3% equity interest as the sole general
partner of the Partnership, and will lend approximately $40 million of
the net proceeds to the Partnership in exchange for a note (the
"Intercompany Convertible Note") bearing interest initially at 8.50% per
annum, which is convertible by the Company into equity interests in the
Partnership based on the initial public offering price of the Common
Shares.
- After the Contributed Partnerships convey certain working capital assets
and liabilities to the Initial Lessee, certain Boykin Group Affiliates,
the Other Partners and the Boykin Associates will contribute their
interests in Contributed Partnerships to the Partnership and indemnify
the Partnership against liabilities of the Contributed Partnerships other
than the mortgage indebtedness to be discharged by the Partnership. The
Partnership will thereby acquire a 100% ownership interest in all of the
Initial Hotels for an aggregate of approximately 1.49 million Units
(valued at approximately $32.8 million), approximately $6.9 million in
cash, and the repayment of approximately $7.9 million of existing
indebtedness on the Initial Hotels.
- The recipients of Units will have rights (generally not exercisable until
the third anniversary of the closing of the Offering, in the case of the
Boykin Group Affiliates and Boykin Associates) to exchange their Units
for cash (the "Exchange Rights"), subject to the Company's right to issue
Common Shares for those Units on a one-for-one basis.
- The Partnership will use approximately $137.7 million to repay
third-party mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Initial Hotels,
approximately $3.5 million to create the Capital Expenditures Fund, and
approximately $3.0 million for formation costs, working capital and other
general partnership purposes.
- Robert and John Boykin will form the Initial Lessee, which will succeed
to the business of Boykin Management, and the Partnership will lease each
Initial Hotel to the Initial Lessee pursuant to a Percentage Lease.
9
<PAGE> 16
- The Initial Lessee will assume the liquor licenses, franchise agreements
and other licenses and permits and certain working capital liabilities of
the Initial Hotels.
- Robert W. Boykin will resign from Boykin Management and become the
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and will
enter into the employment agreement and be granted the stock options
described under "Management -- Employment Agreements" and "Management --
Executive Compensation."
The Formation Transactions benefits to the Boykin Group Affiliates, the
Boykin Associates and the Other Partners, in addition to those described above,
include: (i) increased cash distributions to recipients of Units from the
operations of the Initial Hotels, because of the prepayment of mortgage debt;
(ii) elimination of approximately $5.3 million of mortgage debt guaranties;
(iii) the ability to exchange Units received in the Formation Transactions for
cash or, at the Company's election, Common Shares with registration rights,
which will be more liquid than their interests in the Initial Hotels; (iv)
deferral of income tax by contributing their interests in the Contributed
Partnerships; (v) repayment from the proceeds of the Offering of $3.0 million of
loans made by Boykin Management to one of the Initial Hotels; (vi) realization
of an immediate accretion in the net tangible book value of their investment in
the Partnership of $51.64 per Unit; and (vii) receipt by Robert W. Boykin,
Raymond P. Heitland and Mark L. Bishop of options to purchase 250,000, 75,000
and 75,000 Common Shares, respectively, under the Company's Long Term Incentive
Plan. In addition, Robert and John Boykin will indirectly own all of the
interests in the Initial Lessee, which will be entitled to all profits and cash
flow from the Initial Hotels after payment of rent under the Percentage Leases
and other operating expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
As a result of the Offering and the Formation Transactions, the
relationships among the Company, the Partnership, the Initial Hotels and the
Initial Lessee will be as follows:
[The prospectus contains a flow chart which sets forth the relationships
among the Company, the Partnership, the Initial Hotels and the Initial Lessee
as a result of the Offering and the Formation Transactions. The Company will
own an 84.1% general partner interest (assuming conversion of the Intercompany
Convertible Note) and certain Boykin Group Affiliates and Other Partners will
own a 14.3% and 1.6% limited partner interest, respectively, in the
Partnership. The Partnership, which will own the Initial Hotels, will lease
the Initial Hotels to the Initial Lessee pursuant to the Percentage Leases.
Robert W. Boykin and John E. Boykin are the sole beneficial owners of the
Initial Lessee with a 53.8% and 46.2% interest, respectively.]

1. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company's
or the Initial Lessee's financial position or results of operations would
actually have been if the consummation of the Formation Transactions had, in
fact, occurred on such dates, or to project the Company's or the Initial
Lessee's financial position or results of operations at any future date or
for any future period.
2. Eight of the Initial Hotels utilize December 31 as year-end for financial
reporting purposes and one of the Initial Hotels utilizes a September 30
fiscal year-end. For pro forma purposes, adjustments have been made to
conform the year-ends of all the Initial Hotels to stated periods shown. For
historical financial reporting purposes of the Initial Hotels (Excluding the
Lake Norman Hotels), for the five years ended December 31, 1995, the
September 30 financial data of the Initial Hotel having a September 30
fiscal year end have been combined with the December 31, 1995 financial data
of the other Initial Hotels. For the twelve months ended March 31, 1996 and
three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, the financial data of the
hotel with the September 30 year end have been combined using the same month
and periods as the other eight hotels. In the opinion of management, the
impact of using the different interim period ends is not material.
3. Represents lease payments from the Initial Lessee to the Partnership
calculated on a pro forma basis by applying the rent provisions in the
Percentage Leases to the historical revenues of the Initial Hotels for the
period indicated, including for the Melbourne Quality Suites Inn an
additional $725 of rent for the year
14
<PAGE> 21
ended December 31, 1995 and the 12 months ended March 31, 1996, required
under the rental interruption insurance provision of the Percentage Lease
agreements. The rent formula utilized in computing the pro forma Percentage
Lease revenue and expense includes, for the calendar year 1995, an
adjustment to reduce the threshold revenue amounts in the Percentage Lease
formulas by the 2.5% increase in the Consumer Price Index for that year.
4. Estimated at $1.4 million annually for salaries, directors' fees, legal,
audit, director/officer insurance and other general and administrative
expenses associated with being a public company.
5. Calculated as 15.9% of the income before minority interest.
6. Represents Funds From Operations of the Company, on a consolidated basis.
The following table computes Funds From Operations for the twelve months
ended March 31, 1996 under the newly adopted National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition. Funds From Operations
consists of income (loss) before minority interest (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (losses) from
debt restructuring and sales of property (including furniture and equipment)
plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding
amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Industry analysts consider
Funds From Operations to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an
equity REIT. Funds From Operations should not be considered as an
alternative (i) to net income or other measurements under generally accepted
accounting principles, as an indicator of operating performance, or (ii) to
cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, as a measure
of liquidity. Funds From Operations does not reflect cash expenditures for
capital improvements or principal amortization of indebtedness on the
Initial Hotels.

1995 and the twelve months ended March 31, 1996 as required under the rental
interruption insurance provision of the Percentage Leases.
8. Calculated as Funds From Operations less additions to the Capital
Expenditures Fund.
9. Represents estimated initial dividends to be paid based on the initial
dividend rate of $1.80 per share and an aggregate of 9,365,000 Common Shares
and Units outstanding.
10. Represents income (loss) before unusual and extraordinary items, excluding
depreciation and amortization and interest expense.
11. The Summary Combined Historical Operating Data, Cash Flow Data and Other
Data for the Lake Norman Hotels for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1996 are presented on a pro forma basis, making necessary pro forma
adjustments to the historical operating results to reflect additional
depreciation expense associated with the purchase accounting writeup to the
investment in hotel properties, the additional interest expense associated
with the acquisition indebtedness and an increase in management fee expense.
12. From August 1993 until February 1996, the catering, meeting, lounge and
restaurant facilities of the Lake Norman Holiday Inn were operated by a
third party operator. In February 1996, when a Boykin Group Affiliate
purchased the hotel facility, it also purchased the food and beverage
business assets of this operator.

DISTRIBUTIONS
The Company intends to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of
Common Shares initially equal to $0.45 per share ($1.80 per share on an annual
basis), which would represent approximately 95% of the Company's pro forma Cash
Available for Distribution and 80% of its pro forma Funds From Operations for
the twelve months ending March 31, 1996. The distribution for the period
commencing on the completion of the Offering and ending September 30, 1996 is
expected to be a pro rata portion of the initial quarterly distribution. The
Company does not intend to change its estimated initial distribution per share
if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised. The statements in this
paragraph are forward-looking statements involving certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected in such statements. Factors that might cause such differences are
discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus. See "Distribution Policy" for
information regarding the basis for the Company's estimates, and "Risk Factors."
The Company's ability to make distributions will be dependent on its receipt of
distributions from the Partnership. The Partnership's principal source of
revenue initially will be payments of rent by the Initial Lessee under the
Percentage Leases. See "Risk Factors -- Hotel Industry Risks -- Seasonality" for
a discussion of the effect of the seasonal nature of hotel revenues on the
Company's receipt of rent payments from the Initial Lessee.
TAX STATUS OF THE COMPANY
The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856
through 860 of the Code, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31,
1996. If the Company qualifies as a REIT, under current Federal income tax laws
the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income it
distributes to shareholders as long as it distributes at least 95% of its REIT
taxable income currently and satisfies a number of organizational and
operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any
taxable year, the Company will be subject to Federal income tax (including any
applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate
rates. See "Risk Factors -- Tax Risks -- Failure to Qualify as a REIT" and
"Federal Income Tax Considerations." Even if the Company qualifies for taxation
as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its
income and property and will be subject to Federal and state income taxes and
may be subject to excise taxes on its undistributed income.

RISK FACTORS
This Prospectus contains statements that constitute forward-looking
statements. Those statements appear in a number of places in this Prospectus and
include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the
Company, its directors or its officers with respect to (i) the declaration or
payments of dividends; (ii) the leasing, management or operation of the Initial
Hotels and of hotels to be acquired; (iii) the adequacy of reserves for
renovation and refurbishment; (iv) potential acquisitions by the Company; (v)
the use of the proceeds of the Offering; (vi) the Company's financing plans;
(vii) the Company's policies regarding investments, dispositions, financings,
conflicts of interest and other matters; (viii) the Company's qualification and
continued qualification as a REIT; and (ix) trends affecting the Company's or
any hotel's financial condition or results of operations.
Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statement
is not a guarantee of future performance and involves risks and uncertainties,
and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statement as a result of various factors. The accompanying information contained
in this Prospectus, including without limitation the information set forth below
and the information under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Policies and Objectives with
Respect to Certain Activities" and "Federal Income Tax Considerations,"
identifies important factors that could cause such differences. With respect to
any such forward-looking statement that includes a statement of its underlying
assumptions or bases, the Company cautions that, while it believes such
assumptions or bases to be reasonable and has formed them in good faith, assumed
facts or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences
between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material depending on
the circumstances. When, in any forward-looking statement, the Company, or its
management, expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, that
expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed to have a
reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the stated expectation or
belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.
Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider, among other
factors, the matters described below, each of which could have adverse
consequences to the Company and adversely affect the value of the Common Shares.
CONTROL BY BOYKIN GROUP AND LACK OF SHAREHOLDER CONTROL
Upon completion of the Offering, Robert and John Boykin (who are brothers)
will have the ability to acquire in the aggregate approximately 12.9% of the
Company through their direct or indirect ownership of Units that they may
exchange for Common Shares on a one-for-one-basis (subject to the Company's
right to pay cash in lieu of issuing shares), commencing on the third
anniversary of the closing of the Offering. Robert Boykin will also have
significant control over the operations of the Company as a result of his senior
management position with the Company. Robert and John Boykin will have
significant control over the operations of the Initial Lessee as a result of
their ownership interests and directorships in the Initial Lessee and John
Boykin's senior management position with the Initial Lessee. See "The Company --
The Initial Lessee" and "Management." Accordingly, Robert and John Boykin and
their Affiliates will have substantial influence over the Company, which
influence may not necessarily be consistent with the interests of other
shareholders.
The investment and financing policies of the Company and its policies with
respect to certain other activities, including its growth, capitalization,
distributions, REIT status and operating policies, are determined by the Board
of Directors. These policies may be changed from time to time at the discretion
of the Board of Directors without a vote of the shareholders of the Company,
although the Board of Directors has no present intention to make any such
change. Any such change could be detrimental to the value of the shareholders'
interests in the Company.
DEPENDENCE ON LESSEES
The Company will lease the Initial Hotels to the Initial Lessee under the
Percentage Leases and expects to lease any hotels acquired after completion of
the Offering to the Initial Lessee or to other lessees under similar leases. As
a result, the Company will be dependent on lessees for all of its operating
income. The
17
<PAGE> 24
Initial Lessee may be subject to obligations to and possible claims of third
parties arising out of its subsidiaries' separate operating activities. See "The
Lessees -- The Initial Lessee." The incurrence of any such liabilities could
have a material adverse effect on the Initial Lessee's ability to perform under
the Percentage Leases and any other leases between the Company and the Initial
Lessee. The Initial Lessee's obligations under the Percentage Leases are
unsecured.
Each lessee is expected to hold in its name the franchise licenses, liquor
licenses and other operating licenses and permits relating to the hotels leased
to it. On a default by a lessee resulting in the termination of any Percentage
Lease or other lease, the franchise license, liquor licenses and operating
licenses and permits held by the lessee with respect to the affected property
will not devolve automatically on a successor operator designated by the
Company, and the process of transferring those licenses and permits to a
successor operator may be costly and time-consuming. Furthermore, any default by
a lessee under any such franchise license, liquor license or operating license
or permit could result in the loss or suspension of that license or permit. The
Company may be adversely affected as a result of any loss, suspension or delay
in reinstating or transferring any such license or permit.
If the Company terminates any Percentage Lease or other lease following a
default by a lessee, the Company will have to re-lease the affected property in
order to maintain its qualification as a REIT. There can be no assurance that
the Company would be able to do so on terms substantially similar to those
contained in the terminated lease. The Company also may have to incur
substantial expenditures in connection with any such re-leasing. Moreover, in
the event of a bankruptcy of a lessee, the Company's ability to re-lease the
affected hotels or recover damages based on the default under or rejection of
the relevant leases by the lessee would be adversely affected.
With respect to any hotel property acquired by the Company following the
Offering, the Company will seek to enter into a lease with the Initial Lessee or
another lessee on terms substantially similar to the Percentage Leases. The
inability to conclude any such lease or any lease with a different lessee, or
any delay in establishing the terms thereof, could adversely affect the
Company's ability to expand its portfolio of properties.
HOTEL INDUSTRY RISKS
Operating Risks. The Company's hotel properties will be subject to all
operating risks common to the hotel industry. These risks include, among other
things, competition from other hotels; overbuilding in the hotel industry, which
has adversely affected occupancy and room rates; increases in operating costs
attributable to inflation and other factors, which increases have not
consistently been, and may not necessarily in the future be, offset by increased
room rates; significant dependence on business and commercial travelers and
tourism; increases in energy costs and other expenses of travel; and adverse
effects of general and local economic conditions. The Company's hotel properties
are also subject to risks associated with food and beverage operations and risks
presented by governmental regulations and authorities, particularly with respect
to liquor licenses, which could result in interruptions in food and beverage
operations. These factors could adversely affect a lessee's ability to make
lease payments and therefore the Company's ability to make expected
distributions to shareholders.
Competition. The Company's hotel properties will compete with other hotel
properties in their geographic markets. The Company may also be competing for
investment opportunities with entities that have substantially greater financial
resources than the Company. These entities may generally be able to accept more
risk than the Company can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the
creditworthiness of entities in which investments may be made or risks attendant
to a geographic concentration of investments. Competition may generally reduce
the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to the Company and
increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell.
Investment in Single Industry. The Company's current strategy is to acquire
interests in hotel properties. The Company does not expect to seek to diversify
its real estate investments, and will therefore be subject to risks inherent in
investments in a single industry.
18
<PAGE> 25
Seasonality. The hotel industry is seasonal. Generally, hotel revenues are
greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters.
While the Initial Hotels in Florida generate comparatively greater revenues from
January through April than the other Initial Hotels, the Initial Hotels continue
to experience this quarterly effect on an aggregate basis. This effect can be
expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in the Company's lease revenues.
Notwithstanding these fluctuations, the Company does not expect this seasonality
to affect its quarterly dividend payments.
Limited Number of Hotels; Geographic Concentration. The Company initially
will own nine hotels, two of which, containing approximately 32% of the rooms of
the Initial Hotels, are in the Cleveland, Ohio market. Significant adverse
changes in the operating results of any of the Initial Hotels, or in economic
conditions in any of the Company's markets, could have a material adverse effect
on lease revenues and on the Company's ability to make expected distributions to
its shareholders.
Franchise Risks. The Initial Hotels are subject to franchise agreements.
The Company expects that hotels that it may acquire will also be subject to
franchise agreements. The failure of an Initial Hotel, the Company, the Initial
Lessee or another Company lessee to meet standards imposed by a franchisor or
otherwise to adhere to a franchise agreement could result in the loss or
cancellation of the franchise agreement. A franchisor also could condition the
continuation of a franchise agreement on the completion of capital improvements
that the Company determines are unwarranted in light of economic conditions. In
that event, the Company may elect to allow a franchise agreement to lapse. If
any franchise is terminated or expires, the Company and the lessee may seek to
obtain a suitable replacement franchise or to operate the affected property
independently of a franchise agreement. The loss of a franchise could have a
material adverse effect on the operations or the underlying value of the hotel
covered by the franchise because of the loss of associated name recognition,
marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the
franchisor. In addition, a franchisor may seek to impose a charge as a condition
to consenting to a proposed sale or lease of a hotel property. The Percentage
Leases require the Initial Lessee to cooperate with the Company in its efforts
to effect relevant sales and leases without incurring such charges.
The franchise agreements with Marriott governing five of the Initial Hotels
contain a provision requiring the franchisee, on receiving a bona fide offer to
buy the related Initial Hotel, to give the franchisor the option to buy that
hotel on the same terms as are contained in that offer. These agreements also
require Marriott's consent to the sale of the hotel and, subject to certain
conditions, to the incurrence and refinancing of indebtedness secured by the
hotel, which Marriott may not unreasonably withhold. These provisions may
inhibit the Company's ability to sell the hotels. The Marriott Franchise
Agreements also require the Company, upon a default under the franchise
agreement by the Initial Lessee, (i) to arrange for a replacement lessee,
acceptable to Marriott, for the remainder of the franchise term, and (ii) to
guarantee the performance of certain obligations of the Initial Lessee,
including the payment of specified fees, the making of required renovations and
other capital improvements, the replacement of FF&E and certain equipment and
materials, the maintenance of insurance, and certain other obligations relating
to the maintenance of the Marriott system's standards.
Renovation and Capital Improvements. Hotel properties require continuing
renovation and capital improvements, including periodic refurbishment and
replacement of FF&E, to remain competitive. While the Company will maintain the
Capital Expenditures Fund to fund such renovations and improvements, required
expenditures could exceed the Company's expectations. If that occurs, the
incremental costs could adversely affect Cash Available for Distribution. In
addition, renovations and other capital improvements entail certain risks,
including environmental risks, construction cost overruns and delays, and
unanticipated downturns in demand or unanticipated emergence of competition in
the affected market.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company is dependent on the efforts of Robert W. Boykin, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Raymond P. Heitland, Chief Financial
Officer and Treasurer, and Mark L. Bishop, Senior Vice President --
Acquisitions. The loss of the services of any of these executive officers could
have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company. The Company
does not maintain a "key-man" life insurance policy with respect to any
executive officer.
19
<PAGE> 26
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Benefits From the Formation. Certain Boykin Group Affiliates will receive
the following benefits as a result of the Formation Transactions: (i) increased
cash distributions from the operations of the Initial Hotels, because of the
prepayment of mortgage debt; (ii) elimination of approximately $5.3 million of
mortgage debt guaranties; (iii) the ability to exchange Units received in the
Formation Transactions for cash or, at the Company's election, for Common Shares
with registration rights, which will be more liquid than their interests in the
Contributed Partnerships; (iv) deferral of income tax by contributing their
interests in the Contributed Partnerships; (v) repayment from the proceeds of
the Offering of approximately $3.0 million of loans made by Boykin Management
for the benefit of one of the Initial Hotels; (vi) realization of an immediate
accretion in the net tangible book value of their investment in the Partnership
of $51.64 per Unit; (vii) receipt by Robert W. Boykin of options to purchase an
aggregate of 20,000 Common Shares under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan;
and (viii) beneficial ownership of the Initial Lessee, which will be entitled to
all profits and cash flow from the Initial Hotels after payment of rent under
the Percentage Leases and other operating expenses. See "The Formation" for
further discussion of the benefits to Boykin Group Affiliates from the Formation
Transactions.
Interests in and Operations of the Initial Lessee. Robert and John Boykin
will derive benefits from the operation of the Initial Hotels by the Initial
Lessee. Accordingly, they have faced conflicts of interest in connection with
the structuring of the Percentage Leases and may face such conflicts upon
renewals thereof. They will also face conflicts of interest in connection with
the structuring of leases for hotels the Company may acquire in the future and
lease to the Initial Lessee and in operating the Initial Hotels and such other
acquired hotels in a manner that may maximize profits for the Initial Lessee
without necessarily benefiting the Company. Determinations to be made on behalf
of the Company in connection with any such conflict will be subject to the
approval of the Company's independent directors. See "Policies and Objectives
with Respect to Certain Activities -- Conflict of Interest Policy." Robert W.
Boykin, who will be an officer and director of the Company and a director of the
Initial Lessee, may face conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation of
his time and resources. See "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain
Activities -- Conflict of Interest Policy."
Sale of Hotels. Unlike public shareholders purchasing Common Shares in the
Offering, certain Boykin Group Affiliates will own interests in the Partnership
in addition to Common Shares. As a result, the sale of the Initial Hotels by the
Partnership may result in different and more adverse tax consequences to these
Boykin Group Affiliates than would be experienced by the Company and the public
shareholders, and they may seek to influence the Company not to sell an Initial
Hotel even though that sale might otherwise be financially advantageous to the
Company and the public shareholders.
Enforcement of Terms of Certain Agreements. Robert W. Boykin will have a
conflict of interest with respect to his obligations as an executive officer and
director of the Company to enforce the terms of certain agreements being entered
into in connection with the Formation, including the Percentage Leases, his and
certain Boykin Group Affiliates noncompetition agreements with the Company, the
agreements relating to the conveyance to the Company of the Initial Hotels and
certain related assets, and the Intercompany Convertible Note. Any failure to
enforce the material terms of any of these agreements, including the
indemnification provisions for breaches of representations and warranties
contained in the agreements governing the contribution of the Initial Hotels,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Other Activities. At the time of the Formation Transactions, subsidiaries
of the Initial Lessee will acquire and continue the third-party hotel
management, interior design and purchasing services businesses of Boykin
Management. John E. Boykin will serve as the initial Secretary of the
subsidiaries. The subsidiaries initially will manage 12 hotels, none of which is
owned by the Company, Boykin Management or any other Boykin Group Affiliate.
Three of these hotels are Hampton Inns in the Chicago, Illinois area, containing
an aggregate of 366 rooms. These hotels are owned by an insurance company and
have been managed by Boykin Management since December 1995. Another of these
hotels is the 400-room Hanalei Best Western Hotel, in San Diego, California. The
Boykin Group has managed this property, which is owned by another insurance
company, since 1992. The remaining eight managed hotels, which Boykin Management
has managed since
20
<PAGE> 27
February 1996 on behalf of an institutional investor, contain an aggregate of
1,154 rooms and are located in Santa Barbara County and Ventura County,
California.
William, Robert and John Boykin hold interests in a joint venture formed to
purchase, other than for hotel purposes, a six-acre parcel in the immediate
vicinity of the Buffalo Marriott Hotel. The Company and the joint venture have
entered into an agreement that provides for certain cross-easements between the
properties and provides that the land will contain specific deed restrictions to
prevent the development of any hotel thereon.
The Boykin Group entered into discussion with a private investor in
September 1995 regarding a possible joint venture to acquire and redevelop a
308-room full-service hotel in Connecticut. While the Company does not believe
that the venture, which is subject to continuing discussions, is suitable for
the Company as a hotel REIT, the Boykin Group has agreed that it will present to
the Company any opportunity to participate in the venture that the Boykin Group
is able to obtain for the Company. There can be no assurance that any such
opportunity will be obtained or would be suitable for the Company.
William J. Boykin, the retired Chairman of Boykin Management and the father
of Robert and John Boykin, is developing a Hampton Inn on certain real property
owned by him in Miami, Florida that is adjacent to a shopping center developed
by him in 1989. The hotel is expected to open in the fall of 1996. No other
Boykin Group Affiliate will have an interest in the development of this hotel,
but the Company will have a right of first refusal to purchase the hotel if
William J. Boykin elects to sell it.
LACK OF INDEPENDENT APPRAISALS OR ARM'S-LENGTH NEGOTIATIONS
No independent appraisals were obtained or arm's length negotiations
conducted in connection with the formation of the Company. The terms of the
contribution of the Initial Hotels to the Company were determined by the
principals of the Boykin Group, who will receive an economic benefit as a result
of these contributions. The Company believes it is appropriate to value the
Company as a going concern, rather than with a view toward values that could be
obtained from a liquidation of the Company or of the assets owned by the
Company. Accordingly, the valuation of the Company has been determined based
primarily on an estimate of the Company's Cash Available for Distribution,
rather than on an asset-by-asset valuation based on historical costs or current
market value. No assurance can be given that the value of the economic benefits
received by the principals of the Boykin Group and other Boykin Group Affiliates
in the formation of the Company accurately reflects the fair market value of the
assets contributed by them to the Company. See "Certain Transactions" and
"Underwriting."
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
General. The Company's investments will be subject to varying degrees of
risk generally incident to the ownership of real estate. These risks include,
among others, changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, local
real estate market conditions, changes in interest rates and in the
availability, costs and terms of financing, the impact of present or future
environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws, the ongoing
need for capital improvements, changes in real estate tax rates and other
operating expenses, adverse changes in governmental laws and rules, the
potential for uninsured or underinsured losses, adverse changes in zoning laws,
and other factors beyond the control of the Company.
Value and Illiquidity of Real Estate. Real estate investments are
relatively illiquid. The Company's ability to vary its portfolio of hotels in
response to changes in economic and other conditions will therefore be limited.
In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with each equity
investment (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs)
are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from
the investment. After completion of the Offering and the application of the
proceeds therefrom as set forth under "Use of Proceeds," certain of the Initial
Hotels may be mortgaged to secure the Credit Facility. See "The
Company -- Business Objectives and Strategies -- Financing Strategy."
Uninsured and Underinsured Losses. The Percentage Leases require the
Initial Lessee to maintain comprehensive insurance on each of the Initial
Hotels, including loss of business income, liability, and employee dishonesty
coverage. The Company is required to maintain building casualty insurance on
each
21
<PAGE> 28
Initial Hotel. Management believes the Initial Hotels' coverage is of the type
and amount, including coverage limits and deductibility provisions, customarily
carried on similar properties. However, there are certain types of losses,
generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes and floods, that may be
uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in
excess of insured limits occur, the Company could lose its investment in the
affected Initial Hotel as well as the anticipated future revenues from that
hotel, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other
financial obligations related to that hotel.
Acquisition Risks. The Company intends to pursue acquisition of future
hotels selectively. In undertaking these acquisitions, the Company will incur
certain risks, including the expenditure of funds on, and the devotion of
management's time to, transactions that may not come to fruition. Additional
risks inherent in acquisitions include risks that the properties will not
achieve anticipated occupancy levels or sustain anticipated room rate levels,
and that judgments with respect to the cost of improvements to bring acquired
properties to the Company's standards will prove inaccurate. In addition, the
Company anticipates that new acquisitions will be financed under the Credit
Facility or other forms of interim financing, resulting in the risk that
permanent financing may not be available or may be available only on
disadvantageous terms. If permanent financing is not available on acceptable
terms, the Company may be forced to dispose of the affected property or other
property on disadvantageous terms.
Development and Redevelopment. The Company may develop and redevelop hotels
when it believes that doing so is consistent with its business strategies. While
the Company's policies with respect to these activities are intended to limit
some of the risks associated with those activities, new and continued project
development will be subject to a number of risks, including that financing may
not be available on favorable terms that construction costs of a property may
exceed original estimates, that occupancy rates and ADR may not stabilize at
anticipated levels, that financing may not be available on completion of
construction, and that construction may not be completed on schedule. If the
Company undertakes but elects not to proceed with a development or redevelopment
opportunity, the costs associated therewith will ordinarily be charged against
income for the current period. The Company continually attempts to improve its
ability to evaluate projects in advance and to minimize the costs incurred
before it acquires the properties that are the subject of contemplated
development or redevelopment projects. These activities are also subject to
risks relating to the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, the necessary
zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits
and authorizations.
Property Taxes. Under the Percentage Leases, the Company will be
responsible for the payment of real and personal property taxes and assessments.
These taxes and assessments may increase or decrease as property tax rates
change and as the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities.
If property taxes increase or assessments are levied, the Company's ability to
make distributions to its shareholders could be adversely affected.
Costs of Compliance with Certain Laws. The Initial Hotels must comply with
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") to the extent that
they are "public accommodations" or "commercial facilities" as defined in the
ADA. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an
award of damages to private litigants. The Company believes, based on an
internal review, that the Initial Hotels comply in all material respects with
the ADA and similar applicable state laws. If changes in these laws involve
substantial expenditures or must be made on an accelerated basis, the Company's
ability to make distributions to shareholders could be adversely affected.
Risks Involved in Investments Through Joint Ventures and Other Entities. On
commencement of the Offering, all of the Company's hotels will be owned solely
by the Partnership. However, the Company may in the future invest as a
co-venturer in a hotel property if it will have control of the operation of the
joint venture assets. Any such investment may involve risks such as the
possibility that the co-venturer may become bankrupt or have economic or
business interests or goals that are inconsistent with the business interests or
goals of the Company.
The Company may also invest in securities of other entities engaged in the
ownership of hotels. Investments of this type may not entitle the Company to
control the ownership and leasing of the underlying
22
<PAGE> 29
hotels or to control distributions therefrom, which may adversely affect the
Company's ability to make distributions to its shareholders. Furthermore, the
Company may be prevented from controlling an issuer of securities by the
percentage limitations on the ownership of securities and the gross income tests
for REIT qualification. See "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain
Activities -- Investment Policies" and "Federal Income Tax
Considerations -- Taxation of the Company as a REIT."
Real Estate Financing Risks. Although the Company initially will have no
debt outstanding, the Company expects to finance future acquisitions in part
through the Credit Facility or other new debt financing. In doing so the Company
will be subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including
the risk that the Company's cash flow will be insufficient to meet required
payments of principal and interest, the risk that the Company will not be able
to refinance that indebtedness or that the terms of any such refinancing will
not be as favorable as the terms of the existing indebtedness, and the risk that
necessary capital expenditures for such purposes as renovations and other
improvements cannot be financed on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company
were unable to secure refinancing of any such indebtedness on acceptable terms,
the Company might be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms,
which could result in losses to the Company and could adversely affect the cash
flow of the Company available for distribution. If the Company incurs variable
rate mortgage indebtedness, an increase in interest rates could have an adverse
effect on the Company's net income and Distributable Cash Flow. In addition, if
a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and the Company is
unable to make mortgage payments, the property could be foreclosed upon by, or
otherwise transferred to, the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and
asset value to the Company. The Credit Facility is expected to be secured by
mortgages on several of the Initial Hotels.
In addition, the Company's need to distribute 95% of its REIT taxable
income in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT will limit its ability
to rely on cash flow from operations to finance new development or acquisitions.
As a result, if permanent debt or equity financing is not available on
acceptable terms to refinance new development or acquisitions undertaken without
permanent financing, further development activities or acquisitions may not be
feasible.
NO LIMITATION ON DEBT; ABILITY TO ISSUE PREFERRED SHARES
While the Company will have no outstanding indebtedness on completion of
the Offering, it has obtained a commitment for the Credit Facility from a
lending syndicate led by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., and may incur other
indebtedness in the future. The Company currently has a policy of maintaining a
ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization (i.e., total third-party debt of
the Company as a percentage of the market value of issued and outstanding Common
Shares, including Common Shares issuable on exchange of outstanding Units, plus
total debt, measured at the time the debt is incurred) of not more than 45%. The
Company's organizational documents, however, do not contain any limitation on
the amount or percentage of indebtedness the Company may incur, and the Board of
Directors could alter or eliminate the Company's current borrowing policy. If
this policy were changed or eliminated, the Company could become more highly
leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service, which could adversely
affect the Company's funds from operations and its ability to make expected
distributions to its shareholders, and in an increased risk of default on the
Company's obligations. The more leveraged a company is, the more likely it is
that a decrease in cash flow would impair its ability to make debt service
payments in the normal course of business. The Company's Articles of
Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000
preferred shares and to establish certain preferences and rights of any such
shares issued. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Shares." While the
Company has no current intention to issue any preferred shares, the issuance of
any such shares with preferential dividend rights would diminish the cash
available for distribution to the holders of Common Shares. In addition, the
issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of the Company even if a change in control were in the shareholders'
interest.
The Initial Hotels mortgage indebtedness that is being prepaid in
connection with the Offering includes an aggregate of approximately $68.2
million in principal and interest payable under loans from Lehman Brothers
Holdings, Inc. to the Contributed Partnerships that own four of the Initial
Hotels. See "Use of Proceeds."
23
<PAGE> 30
TAX RISKS
Failure to Qualify as a REIT. The Company intends to operate as a REIT
under the Code, commencing with its initial taxable year ending December 31,
1996. The Company has not requested, and does not expect to request, a ruling
from the IRS regarding its status as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves
the application of technical and complex provisions of the Code for which there
are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The determination
of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within the Company's
control may affect its ability to qualify as a REIT, including default by a
lessee under, and a termination of, an operating lease. In addition, no
assurance can be given that legislation, regulations, administrative
interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the rules
applicable to the Company with respect to its qualification as a REIT or the
federal income tax consequences of such qualification.
The Company will receive an opinion of Baker & Hostetler that, based on the
assumption that the Percentage Leases, the Partnership Agreement, the Company's
organizational documents, and all other documents to which the Company is a
party will be complied with by all parties thereto, and based upon certain
representations of the Company, the Company will qualify as a REIT under the
Code. Investors should be aware, however, that opinions of counsel are not
binding on the IRS or the courts. Both the opinion and the continued
qualification of the Company as a REIT will depend on the Company's continuing
ability to meet various requirements concerning, among other things, the
ownership of its outstanding shares, the nature of its assets, the sources of
its income, and the amount of its distributions to shareholders. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of the Company as a REIT."
If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the
Company would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in
computing its taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax
(including any applicable minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular
corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, the
Company also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable
years following the year during which REIT qualification was lost. As a result,
the cash available for distribution to the shareholders could be reduced or
eliminated for each of the years involved. Although the Company currently
intends to operate in a manner designed to qualify it as a REIT, it is possible
that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause the
Board of Directors, with the consent of a majority of the shareholders, to
revoke the REIT election.
REIT Minimum Distribution Requirements. In order to qualify as a REIT, the
Company generally will be required each year to distribute to its shareholders
at least 95% of its net taxable income (excluding any net capital gain).
Further, the Company will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the
amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by it with respect to any
calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of its ordinary income plus 95% of
its capital gain net income for that year plus amounts not distributed in prior
years.
The Company intends to make distributions to its shareholders to comply
with the 95% distribution requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax.
The Company's income will consist primarily of its share of the income of the
Partnership. The Company's cash available for distribution will consist
primarily of cash distributions from the Partnership. Differences in timing
between taxable income and receipt of cash available for distribution and the
seasonality of the hospitality industry could require the Company, through the
Partnership, to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the 95% distribution
requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax. Under certain
circumstances, the Company may be required from time to time to accrue certain
income items for tax purposes prior to their receipt in cash (for example, rent
earned but not yet received). These differences in timing between the accrual of
certain income items for tax purposes and the receipt thereof could cause the
Company to have taxable income without sufficient cash to make the annual
distributions required of a REIT under the Code. In such cases, the Company may
be compelled to borrow funds or liquidate investments on terms that are
disadvantageous to the Company in order to meet the distribution requirements.
See "Business and Properties -- Growth Strategy" and "Federal Income Tax
Considerations."
24
<PAGE> 31
Distributions by the Partnership will be determined by the Company's Board
of Directors and will be dependent on a number of factors, including the amount
of cash in the Partnership available for distribution, the Partnership's
financial condition, any decision by the Board of Directors to reinvest funds
rather than distributing such funds, the Partnership's capital expenditures, the
annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and any
other factor the Board of Directors believes is relevant. See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations -- Requirements for Qualification as a REIT -- Annual
Distribution Requirements."
Failure of the Partnership to Be Classified as a Partnership for Federal
Income Tax Purposes: Impact on REIT Status. The Company will receive an opinion
from Baker & Hostetler stating that the Partnership will be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes. If the IRS were to challenge
successfully the tax status of the Partnership as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes, the Partnership would be taxable as a corporation. In that
event, because the value of the Company's ownership interest in the Partnership
(i) constitutes more than 10% of the Partnership's voting securities and (ii)
exceeds 5% of the Company's assets, the Company would cease to qualify as a
REIT. Further, the imposition of a corporate-level tax on the Partnership would
substantially reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to the
Company and its shareholders. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Tax
Aspects of the Company's Investments in the Partnership."
Tax on Net Income from Foreclosure Property. The Company will be subject to
a tax at the highest rate applicable to corporations (currently 35%) on any "net
income from foreclosure property." "Foreclosure property" is property acquired
by the Company as a result of a foreclosure proceeding or by otherwise reducing
such property to ownership by agreement or process of law. "Net income from
foreclosure property" is the gross income derived during the taxable year from
foreclosure property, less applicable deductions, but only to the extent such
income does not qualify under the 75% income test and 95% income test. As a
result of the rules with respect to foreclosure property, if the Initial Lessee
defaults on its obligations under a Percentage Lease for an Initial Hotel, the
Company terminates the Percentage Lease, and the Company is unable to find a
replacement lessee for such Initial Hotel within 90 days of such foreclosure,
gross income from hotel operations conducted by the Company from such Initial
Hotel would cease to qualify for the 75% and 95% gross income tests and, thus,
the Company would fail to qualify as a REIT; however, although it is unclear
under the Code, if the hotel operations were conducted by an independent
contractor, it may be possible for the Initial Hotel to be foreclosure property
for two years after such foreclosure (which period could be extended an
additional four years) without the disqualifying the Company as a REIT.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations,
an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in the
property. This liability may be imposed without regard to whether the owner or
operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic
substances. Furthermore, a person that arranges for the disposal of a hazardous
substance at another property or transports a hazardous substance for disposal
or treatment at another property may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of hazardous substances at that property, regardless whether that
person owns or operates that property. The costs of any such remediation or
removal may be substantial, and the presence of any such substance, or the
failure promptly to remediate any such substance, may adversely affect the
property owner's ability to sell or lease the property or to borrow using it as
collateral. Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations
require abatement or removal of certain asbestos-containing materials in
connection with demolition or certain renovations or remodeling, impose certain
worker protection and notification requirements, and govern emissions of and
exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. Other federal, state and local laws,
ordinances and regulations and the common law impose on owners and operators
certain requirements regarding conditions and activities that may affect human
health or the environment. These conditions and activities include, for example,
the presence of lead in drinking water, the presence of lead-containing paint in
occupied structures, and the ownership or operation of underground storage
tanks. Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in difficulty
in the lease or sale of any affected property or the imposition of monetary
penalties, in addition to the costs required to achieve compliance and potential
liability to third parties. The Company, the
25
<PAGE> 32
Partnership or the Initial Lessee, as the case may be, may be potentially liable
for such costs or claims in connection with the ownership and operation of the
Initial Hotels.
Phase I environmental site assessments or assessment updates have been
completed within the last 24 months on each Initial Hotel, and a Phase II
assessment was conducted for one hotel in April 1996. These assessments did not
reveal any environmental contamination or condition that the Company believes
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or
results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any such contamination or
condition. Nonetheless, it is possible that material environmental contamination
or conditions exist of which the Company is unaware.
No assurance can be given that (i) the assessments referred to above
revealed all potential environmental liabilities, (ii) future or amended laws,
ordinances or regulations, or more stringent interpretations or enforcement
policies of existing environmental requirements, will not impose any material
environmental liability or (iii) the environmental condition of the Initial
Hotels has not been and will not be affected by changes in the condition of
properties in the vicinity of the Initial Hotels or by the acts of third parties
unrelated to the Company or the Partnership. See "Business and
Properties -- Environmental Matters."
DILUTION
Purchasers of the Common Shares will experience immediate and substantial
dilution from the initial public offering price in the net tangible book value
per share of the Common Shares. See "Dilution."
THE COMPANY'S LACK OF OPERATING HISTORY
The Company is a newly formed corporation. Accordingly, the Company does
not have any operating history or experience in operating in accordance with the
requirements for maintaining its qualification as a REIT.
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE VALUE OF THE COMMON SHARES OF
FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES OR EQUITY MARKETS
The market price of equity securities of a publicly traded REIT is
determined in part by the attractiveness of the yield from distributions on
those securities in relation to prevailing interest rates. Accordingly, an
increase in interest rates generally may lead purchasers of the Common Shares to
demand a higher annual yield, which could adversely affect the market price of
the Common Shares. Moreover, the market value of the Common Shares could be
substantially and adversely affected by changes in general securities market
conditions or fluctuations in the markets for equity securities.
LIMITATIONS ON OWNERSHIP OF COMMON SHARES
In order for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more
than 50% in value of the outstanding Shares of the Company may be owned,
directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals. Accordingly, the Company's
Articles of Incorporation prohibit ownership of more than 9.8% of the Common
Shares by any single shareholder following completion of the Offering, with
certain exceptions. The Board of Directors may waive this restriction if
evidence satisfactory to it and to the Company's tax counsel is presented
showing that ownership in excess of this limit will not jeopardize the Company's
status as a REIT. See "Capital Stock of the Company -- Restrictions on
Transfer." Accordingly, a holder of Common Shares may be prohibited from
increasing his holdings of Common Shares.
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT
Generally prohibiting any shareholder from owning more than 9.8% of the
Common Shares may (i) discourage a change in control of the Company, (ii) deter
tender offers for the Common Shares, which may otherwise be attractive to the
Company's shareholders, or (iii) limit the opportunity for shareholders to
receive a premium for their Common Shares that may otherwise exist if an
investor attempted to assemble a block of Common Shares in excess of 9.8% of the
outstanding Common Shares or to effect a change in control of the Company.
26
<PAGE> 33
EFFECT ON MARKET PRICE OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales, or
the availability of Common Shares for future sale, by the Company or by its
executive officers will have on the market price of the Common Shares prevailing
from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Shares (including
shares issued on the exercise of options), or the perception that such sales
could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common
Shares. The Boykin Group Affiliates and Boykin Associates have agreed, subject
to certain limited exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Common Shares for a period of three years after the date of this
Prospectus. See "Shares Available for Future Sale" and "Underwriting."
ABSENCE OF PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET FOR COMMON SHARES
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Company's
Common Shares. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will
develop or be sustained following the Offering or that Common Shares may be
resold at or above the initial public offering price. The initial public
offering price will be determined through negotiations between the Company and
the representatives of the Underwriters (the "Representatives") and may not be
indicative of the market price of the Common Shares after the Offering. See
"Underwriting."
THE COMPANY
GENERAL
The Company was formed to continue and expand the hotel ownership,
acquisition, redevelopment and repositioning activities of the Boykin Group and
will operate as a self-administered equity REIT. The Boykin Group was founded in
1959, and was one of the first franchisees of Marriott Hotels and an early
franchisee of Howard Johnson's Hotels. Since its founding, the Boykin Group has
developed 13 full-service hotels containing a total of 3,085 rooms and has owned
or managed 36 properties containing a total of 6,943 rooms. Upon completion of
the Offering and the Formation Transactions, the Company will own nine hotels
with a total of 2,408 guest rooms. The Company's primary business strategies are
to achieve revenue growth in the Initial Hotels, acquire and lease additional
hotel and resort properties in the upscale and moderate markets on an accretive
basis, strategically renovate and upgrade properties to maximize performance,
and selectively expand and develop additional hotel properties.
Strength of Initial Hotel Portfolio
The Initial Hotels are operated under franchise license agreements with
premiere nationally-recognized hotel chains, including Marriott, Radisson,
Holiday Inn, Quality Suites, and Hampton Inns. Serving both business and leisure
travelers, the Initial Hotels are geographically diversified and located in
Berkeley, California; Buffalo, New York; Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio;
Charlotte, North Carolina; and Ft. Myers and Melbourne, Florida. The Initial
Hotels include eight full-service hotels and one limited-service hotel, all of
which compete in the upscale to moderate price segment of the hospitality
market. For the twelve months ended March 31, 1996, the Initial Hotels had an
average occupancy rate of 75.7%, an ADR of $86.49 and a REVPAR of $65.46. The
Boykin Group developed and has owned and managed seven of the Initial Hotels
since their opening.
Experienced Management Team
The Company will capitalize on the substantial hotel operating,
development, acquisition and transactional experience of its management and the
Boykin Group. Robert W. Boykin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, has over 27 years of experience in the hotel industry, all with the
Boykin Group. Raymond P. Heitland, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, has 26
years of industry experience and tenure with the Boykin Group. Mark L. Bishop,
the Company's Senior Vice President -- Acquisitions and Development, has 18
years of industry experience. During the past 10 years, the Company's officers
have directly overseen the acquisition, disposition, recapitalization,
development and repositioning of approximately $750 million of hotel assets
throughout the United States. Upon completion of the Offering, Company
management and their affiliates will own approximately 14.4% of the outstanding
equity of the Company. All future hotel acquisition, development and ownership
activities of the Boykin Group will be conducted through the Company.
27
<PAGE> 34
Focus on Full-service Hotels
The Company intends to achieve a significant part of its growth through the
acquisition, redevelopment and repositioning of additional full-service hotels.
The Company believes that there are full-service hotel properties that can be
acquired at a discount to replacement cost, and that many of these properties
are located in areas of increasing demand. The Company further believes that the
full-service segment of the market, in particular, has potential for improved
performance as business and leisure travel continues to increase and demand
rises at a faster rate than supply. The Company expects no significant new
supply of full-service hotels over the next several years because current costs
do not justify new hotel construction. While the Company intends to maintain its
focus on full-service hotels, it may also acquire upscale limited-service hotels
in selected cases when doing so will further its strategic objectives. For
example, when the Boykin Group acquired a Holiday Inn in February 1996, it also
acquired a Hampton Inn located in close proximity to enable it to benefit from
cross-over marketing and training and the operating efficiencies achievable
through having multiple hotels in one geographic area.
Cash Flow Growth
The Company will focus on maximizing cash flow from both the Initial Hotels
and acquired hotels through the implementation of the active asset management
strategies of the Boykin Group. The Company has demonstrated the ability to
increase cash flow from the hotels which it owns. Over the three year and five
year periods ended December 31, 1995, the aggregate revenues of the Initial
Hotels increased at a compound annual rate of 4.4% and 3.6% per year, and EBITDA
from the Initial Hotels increased at a compound average growth rate of 13.4% and
9.8% per year, respectively. The Company believes that it will have long-term
financial stability as a result of its ownership of the Initial Hotels and the
expected growth in its hotel portfolio.
Strong Historical Performance
The current and the historical performance of the Initial Hotels has well
exceeded the industry averages. During the five year period ended December 31,
1995, the Initial Hotels generated REVPAR that exceeded the REVPAR of their
local competing hotels (as consistently defined by Boykin Management for
performance evaluation purposes) by 17% on average and exceeded the U.S. average
REVPAR for upscale/moderate full-service hotels by 27%. In 1991, a year
generally considered weak in the hotel industry, REVPAR of the Initial Hotels
exceeded the REVPAR of their local competing hotels by over 19% and exceeded the
U.S. average REVPAR for upscale/moderate full-service hotels by over 29%. The
following table compares average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the Initial
Hotels with that for their local competition, all upscale/moderate U.S. hotels
and all U.S. hotels for the periods indicated.

Management believes that, while the lodging industry as a whole is
benefiting from an improved supply/demand dynamic, the most significant advances
in revenue growth and profitability will arise from skillful management of hotel
properties. An integral element of this management is the continuous evaluation
of each hotel's position in its market and the implementation, as necessary, of
changes in franchise, theme and customer focus to maximize the continuing
returns from the hotel. The Company attributes the excellent performance of the
Initial Hotels to the successful implementation of this asset management
strategy.
Access to Capital
The Company has obtained a commitment for a $75 million Credit Facility for
acquiring hotels without financing contingencies, and will have no outstanding
indebtedness upon completion of the Offering. As a public company, the Company
expects to have access to a wide variety of financing sources to fund
acquisitions, such as the ability to issue public and private debt, equity and
hybrid securities, and the ability to utilize Units as consideration when cash
is not appropriate for tax or other reasons. While its organizational documents
contain no limitation on the amount of debt it may incur, the Company, subject
to the discretion of the Board of Directors, intends to maintain a debt-to-total
market capitalization ratio (measured at the time debt is incurred) of not more
than 45%. The Company may from time to time re-evaluate its debt capitalization
policy in light of economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity
capital, market values of its properties, acquisition, development and expansion
opportunities and other factors.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The Company's primary business objectives are to maximize current returns
to shareholders through increases in cash flow available for distribution and to
increase long-term total returns to shareholders through appreciation in value
of the Common Shares. The Company will seek to achieve these objectives through
participation in increased revenues from the Initial Hotels pursuant to the
Percentage Leases and by selective acquisition, ownership, redevelopment,
repositioning and expansion of additional hotel properties. The Company will
seek to continue to invest in properties where the Company's established
industry and marketing expertise enable it to improve the acquired hotels'
performance.
Internal Growth Strategy
The Company believes that, based on historical operating results and the
strength of the Company's management team, portfolio and markets, the Initial
Hotels should provide the Company with the opportunity for cash flow growth
through the Percentage Leases. The Company believes that the revenue and cash
flow of the Initial Hotels will be maximized by intensive management and
marketing. The Company intends to derive increased cash flow through the
application of the Initial Lessee's operating strategies, which include the
active management and balancing of room rates with forecasted room demand in
order to maximize total hotel revenues (a system known as "yield management").
The Company believes that the Initial Lessee's continued commitment to customer
service and the experience of its management team should position the Company to
capitalize on the expected continued strength in the economy and improvement in
the U.S. hotel market. The Company's objectives include enhancing its
competitive market position through the continuation of a regular program of
renovation and capital improvement.
An example of the active yield management employed by the Boykin Group is
its strategies during 1995 at the Cleveland Airport Marriott. The Boykin Group
anticipated increased demand in the business transient sector and scaled back
lower-rated contract rooms in order to maximize revenue. The result was an
increase in room revenues in excess of $800,000 for calendar year 1995 over
1994, and a corresponding increase in REVPAR for the same period of 10.3%. See
"Prospectus Summary -- The Initial Hotels" for information regarding the
operating performance of the Initial Hotels.
Acquisition Strategy
The Company believes that attractive opportunities exist to acquire
full-service hotels serving the upscale and moderate market segments of the
lodging industry. The Company intends to concentrate its investment activities
on hotel properties that are in one or more of the following categories:
29
<PAGE> 36
Product Type -- Full-service commercial hotels, airport hotels, major
tourist hotels and destination resorts in major markets and business centers.
Market Repositioning Opportunities -- Undervalued hotels whose occupancy,
daily rates and overall revenues can be significantly enhanced through new brand
affiliations, implementation of new marketing strategies and effective yield
management.
Redevelopment and Renovation Opportunities -- Hotels with sound operational
fundamentals that, because of a lack of capital, require physical renovation or
redevelopment to achieve their full performance potential.
Portfolio Acquisitions -- Portfolios of hotels which result in geographic
economies of scale or which may be leased back to proven hotel operators as
additional lessees, and that may benefit from the Company's repositioning and
redevelopment experience and access to capital.
As a result of the Company's management's successful transactional
activities, the Company believes it possesses a competitive advantage in market
knowledge, technical expertise and industry relationships that will enable it to
continue to successfully implement its acquisition strategy on a national scale.
Further, the Company believes it will benefit from its continuing relationship
with the Initial Lessee and from developing relationships with additional
lessees who have demonstrated ability to manage hotel properties.
The Company's philosophy is to identify and actively seek hotel properties
that can be associated with the brands that will lead the hospitality industry
in REVPAR, such as Marriott(R), Radisson(R), Hilton(R), Hyatt(R), Westin(R),
Omni(R), Doubletree(R), Sheraton(R), Holiday Inn(R) and Quality Suites(R). The
Company believes that it can maximize its market share and revenues by taking
advantage of its orientation toward sales and marketing to identify the most
effective branding and to leverage its brands with effective direct sales
strategies. The Company expects to continue to affiliate with a number of
different franchise companies in order to maximize the performance of its hotels
by providing greater access to a broad base of national marketing and
reservation systems and to mitigate the risks of franchise loss and franchise
overlap. The Company will seek to maintain a geographically diversified hotel
portfolio, and may also cluster hotels within certain primary markets in order
to take advantage of operational and managerial economies of scale. The Company
believes it has the capacity to acquire additional hotels without significantly
increasing management and overhead expenses.
The Boykin Group's recent purchase of the Lake Norman Holiday Inn and Lake
Norman Hampton Inn exemplifies the strategies described above. The Company
believes that those hotels' present franchise affiliations will enable the
Company to maximize REVPAR in the local market. The hotels' purchase price
represented a significant discount to replacement costs, and the hotels'
historical earnings represented an attractive yield on the purchase price. The
Company believes that the Initial Lessee can increase the ADR and REVPAR of both
hotels, and the Boykin Group has been implementing its yield management systems
since the acquisition to achieve these results. REVPAR for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 increased over REVPAR for the same period in 1995 by 26%
for the Lake Norman Hampton Inn and by 20% for the Lake Norman Holiday Inn, with
a resulting increase in pro forma Percentage Lease revenues. The Boykin Group
also took over the previously out-sourced food and beverage operations at the
Lake Norman Holiday Inn, and is currently in the process of repositioning the
food and beverage operations at the hotel in order to generate more business
from hotel guests and to increase patronage of the restaurant and catering
facilities by the local residents. The Boykin Group also caused the Lake Norman
hotels to implement a combined purchasing program, direct overflow business to
each other and begin cross-training and sharing employees. The Company believes
the economies gained from the clustering of the Lake Norman acquisitions,
combined with the active yield management strategies and product repositioning
strategies employed by the Boykin Group at these hotels, has resulted in a
significantly more attractive yield to the Company than that calculated based on
their trailing operating performance at the time of the acquisitions.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire
properties that meet its investment criteria or that have operations that can be
successfully integrated with the operation of the Initial Hotels.

<PAGE> 37
Renovation Strategy
The Company believes that a regular program of capital improvements at the
Initial Hotels, including replacement and refurbishment of FF&E, will maintain
and enhance their competitiveness and maximize revenue growth under the
Percentage Leases. During the fiscal years 1991 through 1995, approximately $18
million was spent on renovations and capital improvements at the Initial Hotels,
including approximately $1.2 million for the restoration of the Melbourne
Quality Suites hotel following damage from hurricane Erin in August 1995. This
represents an average of approximately $1,400 per room per year (excluding the
amount spent on the Melbourne property restoration, which was funded entirely
from insurance proceeds). The Company will use approximately $3.5 million of the
net proceeds of the Offering as its initial contribution to the Capital
Expenditures Fund. The Percentage Leases require the Company to contribute to
the Capital Expenditures Fund additional aggregate minimum reserves of 4.0% of
total revenue of the Initial Hotels. For the 12-month period ended March 31,
1996, this reserve would have represented approximately 6.1% of room revenue and
an average of $1,400 per room. Based on a review of other publicly traded hotel
REITs conducted by the Company, the Company believes that this exceeds, on a per
room basis, the capital expenditure reserves of all other publicly-traded hotel
REITs. The Company intends to use the Capital Expenditures Fund for the
replacement and refurbishment of FF&E and other capital expenditures
(approximately $250,000 of which is required by franchisors) to maintain and
enhance the competitive position of the initial Hotels, although it may make
other uses of amounts in the fund that it considers appropriate from time to
time. The Boykin Group's experience in developing and renovating its properties
will assist the Company in maintaining its properties competitive edge in their
respective markets.
The following table sets forth information about the historical capital
expenditures of the Initial Hotels for the five fiscal years ended December 31,
1995:

</TABLE>
The Company expects to spend approximately $4.0 million on capital
improvements at the Initial Hotels during the first twelve months after the
Offering as part of its ongoing renovation and capital expenditures program.
These expenditures will be funded from the $3.5 million of the net proceeds of
the Offering and from funds contributed to the Capital Expenditures Fund from
the Initial Hotels' revenues during that period. Some of the major ongoing
capital expenditure items included in the capital expenditures program over the
next 12 months are: renovation and refurbishment of lobby and public spaces,
upgrading and redecorating the guest rooms including expanding the Marriott
"room that works" concept and incorporating other amenities designed to meet the
needs of today's business travelers, and repositioning of several hotel
restaurants and lounges to increase both guest and local patronage.
31
<PAGE> 38
Development Strategy
The Company may develop additional full-service or upscale limited-service
hotels on land that the Company acquires in its current geographic markets or on
land contiguous to the Initial Hotels. Full-service hotels may include hotels
affiliated with Marriott(R), Radisson(R), Hilton(R), Hyatt(R), Westin(R),
Omni(R), Doubletree(R), Sheraton(R), Holiday Inn(R) and Quality Suites(R).
Limited-service hotels may include Marriott Courtyard Hotels(R), Fairfield
Inns(R), Residence Inns(R), Homewood Suites(R) and Hampton Inns(R). The Company
believes that selective development of hotels in its existing geographic markets
would enable it to take advantage of operating efficiencies to generate
attractive returns on investment.
Financing Strategy
On completion of the Offering, the Company will have no outstanding debt.
While its organizational documents contain no limitation on the amount of debt
it may incur, the Company, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors,
intends to maintain a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio (measured at the
time debt is incurred) of not more than 45%. The Company may from time to time
re-evaluate its debt capitalization policy in light of economic conditions,
relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of its properties,
acquisition, development and expansion opportunities, and other factors.
The Company has obtained a commitment for the Credit Facility from Lehman
Brothers Holdings, Inc. The commitment is contingent on, among other things, the
closing of the Offering. The Company intends to use this facility to provide
interim financing for property acquisitions and capital improvements in
anticipation of long-term financing and to fund working capital requirements.
The Credit Facility is expected to be secured by first mortgages on several of
the Initial Hotels.
Other
On completion of the Offering, assuming the conversion of Intercompany Note
and further assuming the Units have not been exchanged the Company will own
approximately 84.1% of the equity interests in the Partnership and be its
general partner, and the executive officers of the Company will own in the
aggregate approximately 14.4% of the equity interests in the Company, directly
or through ownership of Units.
The Company's executive offices are located at Terminal Tower, Suite 1500,
50 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44113, and its telephone number is (216)
241-6375.
LESSEES
THE INITIAL LESSEE
In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company will not operate its hotels, but
will lease its properties to established hotel operators pursuant to leases
which will provide the Company with the greater of a base rental income or a
percentage of revenues of operations. In connection with the Formation
Transactions, Robert and John Boykin will form and indirectly own the Initial
Lessee. The Initial Lessee will acquire and continue the 37-year hotel operation
and management business of the Boykin Group and will operate the Initial Hotels
under the Percentage Leases. The operations of the Boykin Group are fully
integrated, with capabilities in all phases of development and management of
hotel properties. As of March 31, 1996, the Boykin Group had approximately 2,400
employees and owned or managed 21 properties containing 4,354 rooms located
throughout the United States. Because neither the Company nor the Initial Lessee
will have to pay a separate hotel management company to manage the Initial
Hotels, the Company believes it will obtain a higher rent than such added
management arrangements would permit, thus maximizing the Company's Percentage
Lease revenues. The Company believes that the Boykin Group's ability to achieve
consistently above-average market penetration during various economic cycles
positions the Company, through the Initial Lessee, to maximize its returns on
the Initial Hotels. See "The Company -- General -- Strong Historical
Performance."
The Initial Lessee's core capabilities will be based on continued
implementation of the Boykin Group's (i) commitment to superior customer service
and satisfaction; (ii) sophisticated sales and marketing systems, including
customer lead-generating and management incentive systems; (iii) effective
personnel recruitment,
32
<PAGE> 39
selection, orientation, training and retention programs; (iv) comprehensive
property operations and maintenance capabilities, including design, renovation
management, energy conservation, purchasing and preventive maintenance; and (v)
strong auditing, cash-handling, recordkeeping and information management systems
and controls.
While the Initial Lessee will operate and manage hotels only under the
Percentage Leases, its subsidiaries will continue hotel management activities
for owners other than the Company and the award-winning hotel interior design
business and the hotel and restaurant food, beverage, supply and equipment
purchasing business currently operated by the Boykin Group. The Company expects
that these operations will be continued in part with a view to introducing the
Company to acquisition opportunities. In addition, the income generated by the
Initial Lessee and its subsidiaries will strengthen the Initial Lessee's ability
to perform under the Percentage Leases.
The Initial Lessee intends to develop incentive compensation plans for its
hotel-level and corporate-level senior executives which tie such compensation in
part to the performance of the Company and in part to the performance of the
Initial Hotels. Such plans may include awards of Company shares, options and
other similar incentives.
The Company and the Initial Lessee have agreed on several measures to align
the interests of the Initial Lessee and its owners with the interests of the
Company's shareholders and to minimize conflicts of interest between them:
- The Initial Lessee's owners and certain other Boykin Group Affiliates
will own approximately 14.3% of the Company following completion of the
Offering in the form of Units exchangeable, at the Company's election,
for Common Shares, and have agreed to retain these interests for at least
three years following completion of the Offering;
- Robert W. Boykin will resign from his positions with Boykin Management in
connection with the Formation Transactions and will not hold office in
the Initial Lessee, and neither John E. Boykin nor any other officer of
the Initial Lessee will hold office in the Company;
- Any distributions from the Initial Lessee (other than distributions to
cover income taxes) during the first ten years after the Offering that
are distributed to the Initial Lessee's owners, and any net cash proceeds
of any sale of the Initial Lessee within ten years after the Offering,
will be used to purchase Units or Common Shares (subject to applicable
ownership limitations) that must be held for at least two years from the
purchase date;
- The Initial Lessee's and its subsidiaries' consolidated net worth on
completion of the Formation Transactions will be approximately $3 million
half of the Initial Lessee's and its subsidiaries' consolidated earnings
(after distributions to cover income taxes) during the first ten years
after the Offering will be retained in the Initial Lessee and its
subsidiaries until their consolidated net worth reaches 25% of the
aggregate annual rent payments under the Percentage Leases (and will be
retained thereafter during that period to maintain that level);
- Determinations to be made on behalf of the Company in connection with any
conflict of interest involving any Boykin Group Affiliate will be made by
the Company's independent directors;
- All future hotel acquisition, development and ownership activities of the
Boykin Group will be conducted through the Company;
- Any change in control of the Initial Lessee without the prior written
consent of the Company will constitute a default under the Percentage
Leases; and
- The Percentage Leases will contain cross-default provisions that will
enhance the Company's ability to enforce strict compliance with each
Percentage Lease.
ADDITIONAL LESSEES
The Company believes that having multiple tenants will facilitate meeting
its growth objectives, and therefore intends to pursue relationships with
additional lessees. The Company believes there are a number of
33
<PAGE> 40
capable hotel owner-operators who are undercapitalized and, therefore, unable to
reposition their properties adequately, or are faced with a difficult financing
environment because of today's increased equity requirements, and will be
willing to engage in a sale and leaseback of their properties on terms that
would allow both parties to achieve participation in the improving fundamentals
of the lodging industry. In addition, the Company believes certain national
franchisors are willing to develop a relationship with the Company and may
become additional lessees as a means of expanding their franchise systems. The
Company believes that its management's long tenure and reputation in the hotel
industry will provide the Company access to these acquisition opportunities and
enable the Company to select hotel properties and lessees that will further its
acquisition and growth strategies.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after payment of
expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, are estimated to be
approximately $159.0 million ($183.2 million if the over-allotment option is
exercised in full), based on an assumed initial public offering price of $22.00
per share. All of the net proceeds will be contributed by the Company to the
Partnership in exchange for an approximately 84% equity interest in the
Partnership (assuming conversion of the Intercompany Convertible Note).
Assuming the Closing occurs in mid-August 1996, the Partnership will use
the amounts contributed to it approximately as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
(IN THOUSANDS)
<S> <C>
Repayment of third party mortgage indebtedness (including certain
prepayment penalties)................................................ $ 137.7
Repayment of loans payable to Boykin Management........................ 3.0

Associates, including repayment of advances and accrued interest
thereon.............................................................. 11.8
Deposit to Capital Expenditures Fund................................... 3.5
Working capital, formation costs and general partnership purposes...... 3.0
------------
Total uses of proceeds............................................... $ 159.0
============
</TABLE>
If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the additional net
proceeds will be invested in the Partnership and used by it for general
purposes, including possible future acquisitions of additional hotel properties.
Pending the described uses, the net proceeds may be invested in interest-bearing
accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities that are consistent with the
Company's intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT. These investments may
include, for example, government and government agency securities, certificates
of deposit, interest-bearing bank deposits, mortgage loan participations and
shares of other real estate investment trusts.
The mortgage indebtedness to be paid out of the net proceeds of the
Offering matures at various times from June 1998 through October 2004 and bears
interest at effective rates varying from 8.6% to 11.8% per year, as follows:
(i) a $3.0 million balance, payable to Boykin Management with respect
to one of the Initial Hotels, matures based on the cash flow of the Initial
Hotel and currently bears interest at an effective rate of approximately
10% per annum;
(ii) a $4.8 million balance, payable to certain Other Partners in the
Contributed Partnerships with respect to one of the Initial Hotels, matures
based on the cash flow of the Initial Hotel and currently bears interest at
an effective rate of approximately 10% per annum;
(iii) a $66.25 million principal balance, payable to an affiliate of
Lehman Brothers Inc. with respect to four of the Initial Hotels, matures on
June 1, 1998 and currently bears interest at an effective rate of
approximately 9.75% per annum;
34
<PAGE> 41
(iv) a $41.8 million principal balance, payable to an institutional
lender with respect to two of the Initial Hotels, matures on February 1,
2001 and currently bears interest at an effective rate of approximately
8.6% per annum;
(v) a $13.7 million principal balance, payable to an institutional
lender with respect to one of the Initial Hotels, matures on October 1,
2004 and currently bears interest at an effective rate of approximately 11%
per annum; and
(vi) a $9.5 million principal balance, payable to an institutional
lender with respect to the Lake Norman Hotels, matures on February 8, 2001
and currently bears interest at an effective rate of approximately 11.8%
per annum.
The $3.0 million indebtedness payable to Boykin Management will be paid to
the Initial Lessee, as Boykin Management's successor. The Initial Lessee will
use approximately $1.5 million of the amount paid to it to repay a third party
lender, and will use the remaining balance to pay income taxes arising from the
Formation Transactions or for working capital purposes.
The indebtedness referred to in item (vi), above, was incurred by one of
the Contributed Partnerships to fund its acquisition of the Lake Norman Hotels.
See Notes 3 and 4 of the Lake Norman Hotels Notes to the Combined Financial
Statements.
DISTRIBUTION POLICY
The Company intends to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of
Common Shares initially equal to $0.45 per share, which on an annual basis would
equal $1.80 per share and would represent approximately 95% of the Company's pro
forma Cash Available for Distribution and 80% of its pro forma Funds From
Operations for the twelve months ending March 31, 1996. The distribution for the
period commencing on the completion of the Offering and ending September 30,
1996 is expected to be a pro rata portion of the initial quarterly distribution.
The Company intends to maintain its initial dividend rate for the first 12
months following the completion of the Offering, unless actual results of
operations, economic conditions or other factors differ from the assumptions
used in its estimate. The Company does not expect to change its estimated
dividend rate per share if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised.
For Federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to shareholders may
consist of ordinary income, capital gains, nontaxable returns of capital, or a
combination thereof. Aggregate distributions for the 12 months following the
closing of the Offering are expected to be greater than 95% of the Company's
REIT taxable income. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally
will be treated as nontaxable return of capital and, therefore, will result in a
reduction of a shareholder's basis in the Common Shares, to the extent thereof,
and thereafter as taxable gain. Those distributions will have the effect of
deferring taxation until the sale of the shareholder's Common Shares. The
Company will provide its shareholders an annual statement as to its designation
of the taxability of distributions. The Company estimates that approximately 90%
of the annual distribution to holders of Common Shares for 1996 will represent a
return of capital for Federal income tax purposes. The Company's expectation
reflects, among other things, the effect of nonrecurring penalties to be
incurred in connection with the prepayment of certain debt at the time of the
Formation Transactions. The Company anticipates that substantially all of the
distributions in respect of 1997 will be taxable as dividends.

performance, or (ii) to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing
activities, as a measure of liquidity. Funds From Operations does not
reflect cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal amortization

The primary source of proceeds to be used for distributions to shareholders
is the Company's share of the rents due the Partnership pursuant to the
Percentage Leases. The anticipated revenue may or may not be realized or
collected. Accordingly, the statements set forth above with regard to
distributions are forward-looking statements involving certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in such statements. Important factors that could cause such different
results include, but are not limited to, competition from other hotels,
increases in operating costs, seasonality effects in hotel occupancy and
revenues, and the potential loss of a franchise or liquor license in respect of
any Initial Hotel or acquired hotel. See "Risk Factors."

DILUTION
The expected initial public offering price per Common Share exceeds the pro
forma net tangible book value per share. Therefore, the Boykin Group Affiliates
who receive Units will realize an immediate increase in the net tangible book
value of their Units, while purchasers of Common Shares sold in the Offering
will realize an immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book
value of their shares. Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined
by subtracting total liabilities from total tangible assets and dividing the
remainder by the number of Common Shares and Units that will be outstanding
after the Offering. The following table illustrates the dilution to purchasers
of Common Shares sold in the Offering, based on an assumed initial public
offering price of $22.00 per share.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following tables set forth (i) selected unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information for the Company for the year ended December
31, 1995, and the twelve months ended March 31, 1996, and the three month
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996; (ii) selected unaudited combined pro
forma financial information for the Initial Lessee for the year ended December
31, 1995 the twelve months ended March 31, 1996, and the three month periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996; (iii) selected combined historical financial and
operating data of the Initial Hotels, which are presented as (a) the Initial
Hotels (Excluding the Lake Norman Hotels) for each of the years in the five-year
period ended December 31, 1995, and the three months ended March 31, 1995 and
1996; and (b) selected combined historical financial and operating data of the
Lake Norman Hotels for each of the years in the five-year period ended December
31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.
The selected combined historical financial data for both the Initial Hotels
(Excluding the Lake Norman Hotels) and the Lake Norman Hotels for the three
years ended December 31, 1995 have been derived from the historical financial
statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, whose
reports with respect thereto are included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The
selected combined historical financial data for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1992 are derived from unaudited financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the information set forth therein.
The pro forma statement of operations data is presented as if the Offering,
the Formation Transactions, and the beginning of the relevant lease year had
occurred on January 1, 1995 and, therefore, incorporates certain assumptions
that are included in the Notes to the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The pro forma
operating information for the Initial Lessee is presented to reflect the pro
forma operations of the Initial Lessee for the periods presented, which
operations are the source of the Initial Lessee's Percentage Lease payments to
the Partnership. The pro forma balance sheet data is presented as if the
Formation Transactions had occurred on March 31, 1996.
The following selected financial information should be read in conjunction
with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and all of the financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Prospectus.

2. Eight of the Initial Hotels utilize December 31 as year-end for financial

historical financial reporting purposes of the Initial Hotels (Excluding the
Lake Norman Hotels), for the five years ended December 31, 1995, the
September 30 financial data of the Initial Hotel having a September 30
fiscal year end have been combined with the December 31, 1995 financial data
of the other Initial Hotels. For the twelve months ended March 31, 1996 and
three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, the financial data of the
hotel with the September 30 year end have been combined using the same month
and periods as the other eight hotels. In the opinion of management, the

provision of the Percentage Lease agreements. The rent formula utilized in
computing the pro forma Percentage Lease revenue and expense includes, for

consists of income (loss) before minority interest (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (losses) from
debt restructuring and sales of property (including furniture and equipment)
plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding
amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Industry analysts consider
Funds From Operations to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an
equity REIT. Funds From Operations should not be considered as an
alternative (i) to net income or other measurements under generally accepted
accounting principles, as an indicator of operating performance, or (ii) to
cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, as a measure
of liquidity. Funds From Operations does not reflect cash expenditures for
capital improvements or principal amortization of indebtedness on the
Initial Hotels.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Upon completion of the Formation Transactions and the Offering, the Company
will own an 84.1% interest in the Initial Hotels through its interest in the
Partnership. In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, neither the Company
nor the Partnership can operate hotels. Therefore, the Partnership will lease
the Initial Hotels to the Initial Lessee. The Partnership's, and therefore the
Company's, principal sources of funds will be lease payments under the
Percentage Leases. Percentage Rent will be based on the Initial Hotels'
revenues, and the Initial Lessee's ability to make payments to the Partnership
under the Percentage Leases will be dependent primarily on the Initial Lessee's
ability to generate cash flow from the operation of the Initial Hotels.
GENERAL
Results of operations are best explained by three key performance
indicators: Occupancy, ADR, and REVPAR. Increases in REVPAR attributable to
increases in Occupancy are accompanied by increases in most categories of
variable operating costs. Increases in REVPAR attributable to increases in ADR
are accompanied by increases in limited categories of operating costs, such as
management fees and license fees.
PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED COMPANY
The following table sets forth key indicators for all of the Initial Hotels
combined and is useful in understanding the underlying changes in the percentage
rent for the Company during the pro forma period of 1995 and the three months
ended March 1996.

REVPAR.............................. $55.27 $59.24 $63.98 $59.00 $64.84
</TABLE>
For the year ended December 31, 1995 the Company had pro forma revenues of
$25.7 million from the Percentage Leases that would have been in place at the
Initial Hotels. The pro forma revenues for the twelve months ended March 31,
1996 would have been $26.5 million. This 3.4% increase of $.9 million is
attributable to a 4.7% improvement in occupancy from 70.4% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 to 73.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, and a 5%
improvement in ADR from $83.77 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $87.98 in
the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Pro forma expenses remained the same as no
significant changes have occurred during the three month period.

<FN>
(1) The Company believes that operating income before interest, depreciation,
amortization and unusual and extraordinary items provides a good indicator
of the financial performance of the Initial Hotels and will be a significant
factor in determining the Initial Lessee's ability to make lease payments to
the Partnership. Industry analysts generally consider this to be an
appropriate measure of the performance of hotels. However, this indicator
should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of
the Initial Lessee's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
(2) No assurance can be given that the trends reflected in this data will
continue or that occupancy, ADR and REVPAR will not decrease as a result of
changes in national or local economic or hospitality industry conditions.
</TABLE>
Comparison of the Quarter ended March 31, 1996 with 1995
Revenues increased from $18.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1995
to $19.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, for a 9.0% increase of
$1.6 million. REVPAR grew from $61.68 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to
$67.28 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 for a 9.0% increase of $5.60. This
increase was led by an improvement in occupancy from 70.2% in 1995 to 74.2% in
1996, representing a 5.7% increase. In addition, ADR increased from $87.9 in
1995 to $90.7 in 1996, a 3.2% increase. The occupancy growth is attributable to
a continuation into 1996 of the strong demand experienced in the last half of
1995, particularly in the Ohio and California markets.
Departmental and other expenses also grew by 9.0% between the periods. This
was caused primarily by the growth in occupancy, which is accompanied by
increases in most categories of variable expenses. In addition, management fees
increased from 3.4% of revenues in 1995 to 4.1% of revenues in 1996 because of
increases in the management fee rate implemented in the second quarter of 1995
at four of the hotels. Franchisor fees also increased from 4.5% of revenues in
1995 to 5.0% of revenues in 1996 because of contractually scheduled increases in
the fee rate at two of the hotels. Advertising and promotion costs increased
14.0% between the periods because of increased promotional efforts to attract
and support the occupancy growth.
Income before depreciation, amortization, interest expense and unusual and
extraordinary items (also shown as EBITDA) grew $380,000, or 8.2%, from the
quarter ended March 1995 to the quarter ended March 1996. This growth is
attributable to the positive effect of the $1.6 million growth in revenues while
expenses grew by $1.2 million.
46
<PAGE> 53
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 1995 with 1994
Total revenues increased $2.6 million, or 3.5%, from 1994 to 1995. This
increase was in spite of the loss of an estimated $1.3 million in revenues
arising from the damage to the Melbourne Quality Suites by Hurricane Erin in
August 1995. The hurricane damage was covered by insurance, including business
interruption insurance, so the net income of the combined hotels were not
materially affected. As can be seen by the growth in REVPAR, revenues as
reported were primarily driven by increases in the ADR at almost all of the
hotels. This was attributable in part to the general improvement in the business
travel and tourism industries. The continuation of the Boykin Group's focus on
maximizing REVPAR by focusing on increasing ADR during this period of stable
occupancy also had a significant effect. The composition of revenue stayed
consistent between the periods, with only a slight decline in food revenues,
from 30.2% of the total to 29.4%, reflecting that the gains in revenue occurred
in room rates during this period.
Departmental and other expenses grew by $662,000, or 1.2%, between the
years because of general inflationary pressures, offset by aggressive cost
management and $619,000 in estimated proceeds from the Melbourne insurance
claims that were netted against operating expenses. These costs declined as a
percentage of revenues from 71.4% in 1994 to 69.9% in 1995, as the positive
effect of revenues growing at a faster pace than expenses. In addition,
management fees increased from 3.8% of revenues in 1995 to 4.2% of revenues in
1996 because of increases in the management fee rate implemented in the second
quarter of 1995 at four of the hotels. Franchisor fees also increased $860,000,
or 29.0%, between years primarily because 1994 contained a reduction in
franchise fees of $600,000 from the forgiveness of accrued franchise fees at the
Melbourne Quality Suites Hotel. This was offset by growth in fees as a result of
improved revenues and a contractually scheduled increase in the fee rate at the
Columbus Marriott North. Real estate and personal property taxes, insurance and
rent increased 7.5% from 1994 to 1995. This is primarily attributable to higher
costs for insurance as the Boykin Group purchased improved coverage.
The resulting income before depreciation, amortization, interest expense
and unusual and extraordinary items (also shown as EBITDA) grew from $18.3
million in 1994 to $20.0 million in 1995 for an increase of $1.7 million or
9.5%. This line item also grew from 24.2% of revenues in 1994 to 25.5% of
revenues in 1995, which resulted from the 3.5% growth in revenues while expenses
grew by only 1.2%.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 1994 with 1993
Total Revenues increased $3.5 million, or 4.8%, from 1993 to 1994. This was
primarily driven by increases in the ADR at almost all of the hotels. This was
attributable to the general improvement in the business travel and tourism
industries and lack of any new competition in the markets where the initial
hotels operate. The composition of revenue stayed consistent between the
periods, with only a slight decline in food revenues, from 31.0% of the total to
30.2%, which reflects that most of the gains in revenue occurred in room rates
during this period.
Departmental and other expenses grew by $725,000, or 1.4%, between the
years because of general inflationary pressures, offset by aggressive cost
management. These costs declined as a percentage of revenues from 73.9% in 1993
to 71.4% in 1994, as revenues grew faster than expenses. Expenses were also
reduced in 1994 by $600,000 because of the forgiveness of accrued franchise fees
at one of the hotels.
Income before depreciation, amortization, interest expense and unusual and
extraordinary items (also shown as EBITDA) grew from $15.7 million in 1993 to
$18.3 million in 1994 for an increase of $2.5 million, or 16.0%. This line item
also grew from 21.8% of revenues in 1993 to 24.2% of revenues in 1994, which was
attributable to the factors mentioned above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements,
including distributions to shareholders, will be its share of the Partnership's
cash flow. The Partnership's principal source of revenue will be rent payments
under the Percentage Leases. The Initial Lessee's obligations under the
Percentage Leases are unsecured and the Initial Lessee's ability to make rent
payments to the Partnership under the Percentage Leases, and the Company's
liquidity, including its ability to make distributions to shareholders, will be
47
<PAGE> 54
dependent on the Initial Lessee's ability to generate sufficient cash flow from
the operation of the Initial Hotels.
On consummation of the Offering and application of the net proceeds
therefrom, the Company will have no outstanding debt. The Company intends to
acquire and develop additional hotels and will incur indebtedness to fund that
acquisition and development. The Company may also incur indebtedness to meet
distribution requirements imposed on a REIT under the Code to the extent that
working capital and cash flow from the Company's investments are insufficient to
make the required distributions. The proposed terms of the Credit Facility
permit borrowings for that purpose, but impose certain limitations on the
Company's ability to engage in other borrowings. See "Policies and Objectives
with Respect to Certain Activities -- Financing."
The Company has obtained a commitment for the Credit Facility to assist it
in funding its acquisition and development of additional hotels and for certain
other business purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are expected to be
secured by first mortgages on several of the Initial Hotels and on any
additional properties acquired or developed by the Company, subject to certain
release provisions. The Company may also seek to increase the amount of the
Credit Facility, negotiate additional credit facilities, or issue debt
instruments. Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or
unsecured, long-term, medium-term or short-term, bear interest at a fixed or
variable rate, and be subject to such other terms as the Board of Directors
considers prudent.
The Company will acquire or develop additional hotels only as suitable
opportunities arise, and the Company will not undertake acquisition or
development of properties unless adequate sources of financing are available.
Funds for future acquisitions or development of hotels are expected to be
derived, in whole or in part, from borrowings under the Credit Facility or other
borrowings or from the proceeds of additional issuances of Common Shares or
other securities. The Company has no agreement or understanding to invest in any
properties other than the Initial Hotels, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will successfully acquire or develop additional hotels. See "The
Company -- Business Objectives and Strategies -- Acquisition Strategy."
The Company will use $3.5 million of the net proceeds from the Offering as
its initial contribution to the Capital Expenditures Fund. The Company will also
contribute to the Capital Expenditures Fund on a continuing basis, from the rent
paid under the Percentage Leases, an amount equal to 4% of the Initial Lessee's
revenues from operation of the Initial Hotels. The Company intends to use the
Capital Expenditures Fund for capital improvements to the Initial Hotels and
refurbishment and replacement of FF&E, but may make other uses of amounts in the
fund that it considers appropriate from time to time. The Company anticipates
making similar arrangements with respect to future hotels that it may acquire or
develop.
INFLATION
The Company's revenues initially will be based on the Percentage Leases,
which will result in changes in the Company's revenues based on changes in the
underlying Initial Hotel revenues. Therefore, the Company initially will be
relying entirely on the performance of the Initial Hotels and the Initial
Lessee's ability to increase revenues to keep pace with inflation. Operators of
hotels in general, and the Initial Lessee, can change room rates quickly, but
competitive pressures may limit the Initial Lessee's ability to raise rates
faster than inflation. The compound annual growth rate of ADR on the Initial
Hotels for the five years ended December 31, 1995 was 3.0%, or about the rate of
inflation in the Consumer Price Index. According to industry statistics,
industry-wide annual increases in ADR have failed to keep pace with inflation
since 1987.
The Company's largest fixed expense is the depreciation of the investment
in hotel properties. The Company's variable expenses, which are subject to
inflation, represent approximately 20.0% of pro forma revenues. These variable
expenses (general & administrative costs as well as real estate and personal
taxes, property and casualty insurance and ground rent) are expected to grow
with the general rate of inflation.
SEASONALITY
The Initial Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal. Seven of
the Initial Hotels maintain higher occupancy rates during the second and third
quarters. The two Florida Initial Hotels experience their highest
48
<PAGE> 55
occupancy in the first quarter. This seasonality pattern can be expected to
cause fluctuations in the Company's quarterly lease revenue under the Percentage
Leases. The Company anticipates that its cash flow from the Initial Lessee's
operation of the Initial Hotels will be sufficient to enable the Company to make
quarterly distributions at the estimated initial rate for at least the next
twelve months. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient
during any quarter, because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease
revenue, the Company expects to utilize other cash on hand or borrowings to make
those distributions. See "Business and Properties -- Business
Strategy -- Financing Strategy.") No assurance can be given that the Company
will make distributions in the future at the initially estimated rate, or at
all.
BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
The hotel industry is currently benefiting from an increase in room demand
which outpaces the growth in supply. According to the Kenneth Leventhal Real
Estate Group of Ernst & Young LLP, industry-wide room demand increased between
3.0% and 4.7% each year from 1992 through 1995, while the supply of new rooms
increased between 1.0% and 1.4% annually during that period. As might be
expected in such a supply/demand environment, occupancies and ADR have increased
each year during the period and are projected to increase in 1996. Occupancy
rose from 62% industry-wide in 1992 to a projected 66% in 1995. As shown in the
following chart from Kenneth Leventhal's 1996 National Lodging Forecast (the
"1996 Forecast") Kenneth Leventhal projects industry-wide occupancy to grow to
67% in 1996 and to increase to 68% by year-end 1997.
See the chart set forth under "The Company" for a comparison of the
occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the Initial Hotels to that of their local markets
(including the Initial Hotels and their local competing hotels as defined by the
Company), all U.S. upscale/moderate full service hotels, and all U.S. hotels.

GENERAL. Each of the Initial Hotels is under the direction of a general
manager and an executive committee, which are accountable for and are
compensated in part based on the property's performance. This group oversees
day-to-day operations and develops annual budgets and marketing, long-term
capital, and human resource development plans. Each Initial Hotel is responsible
for developing its own marketing plan. These plans are comprehensive, analyzing
local market conditions and the hotel's competition, determining hotel
positioning, identifying consumer needs, and outlining marketing objectives and
strategies. Each plan will continue to be evaluated quarterly by the Initial
Lessee to maintain effectiveness under changing market conditions.
The Initial Lessee stresses first-rate financial management and
comprehensive revenue reporting and believes its management team is skilled at
anticipating business needs and changes to maintain competitiveness in its
markets. All hotel departments, including rooms, food & beverage, accounting,
sales and marketing, engineering and human resources, will continue to receive
regular on-site performance reviews and have open lines of communication
directly to the Initial Lessee's management. These performance reviews will
enable the Initial Lessee to maintain an in-depth understanding of each hotel's
marketing opportunities and insure that the Company's properties receive
direction to enable on-site management to maximize profits.
The following discussion sets forth additional information for each Initial
Hotel. Additional statistical data concerning capital expenditures at each of
the Initial Hotels during the fiscal years 1991 through 1995 is set forth in the
chart under the heading "Business and Properties -- Business Strategy --
Renovation and Development."
BERKELEY MARINA MARRIOT. This 373-room waterfront hotel is on the east side
of San Francisco Bay in the Berkeley Marina Complex. The hotel is in a secluded
area approximately 20 minutes from downtown San Francisco and 30 minutes from
San Francisco International Airport. The hotel is located near the Golden Gate
Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf and the Napa/Sonoma wine country. The University of
California at Berkeley is three miles away. Approximately 60% of the guests are
business travelers. The primary business travelers are employed by Sybase,
Chevron, University of California at Berkeley, Kaiser, and AT&T. Tourist travel
accounts for approximately 40% of the hotel's business and is based on nearby
tourist destinations and the hotel's marina location. Group travel, which
accounts for about 25% of the hotel's business and tourist travel, is primarily
related to professional and amateur sports, entertainment and educational
groups.
The property has been owned and managed by the Boykin Group as a Marriott
since its opening in 1972. The property was expanded to its current size in
1985. The hotel has approximately 11,000 square feet of flexible meeting and
banquet space, which can be divided into 14 rooms. In addition, there are seven
executive suites that can accommodate smaller conferences. The hotel also has a
300-seat restaurant and a lounge and has 700 feet of dock space in the Berkeley
Marina Complex that is leased to Hornblower Dining Yachts. Areas budgeted for
renovation during the next 12 months include additional guest rooms, the hotel's
conference center, and certain structural improvements and equipment upgrades.
The land underlying this hotel is leased under a ground lease that expires
in 2033 but can be extended by the tenant to 2051. The rent payable under the
lease includes annual minimum rent of $100,000 and percentage rent based on the
hotel's revenues. The tenant is responsible for all taxes, maintenance and
insurance on the leased property. See note 8 to the Combined Financial
Statements for the Initial Hotels (Excluding Lake Norman Hotels) for the year
ended December 31, 1995, for further information concerning the lease.
This hotel's average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the years 1991 through
1995 exceeded the aggregate average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR of its local
competition (as defined by Boykin Management for performance evaluation
purposes) during that period by 8.0%, 11.6% and 20.5%, respectively.
BUFFALO MARRIOTT. This 356-room hotel is the only full-service Marriott
hotel in the greater Buffalo Metropolitan area. Located just off Interstate 290
in the growing suburb of Amherst, the hotel is adjacent to the State University
of New York at Buffalo and is approximately 15 minutes from downtown Buffalo, 30
minutes from Niagara Falls, and 10 minutes from the Greater Buffalo
International Airport. Approximately 70% of the guests are business travelers.
The primary business travelers are employed by General Motors,
51
<PAGE> 58
NYNEX, Citicorp, Dupont and the State University of New York. Group travel,
which accounts for approximately 18% of the hotel's business, is generated by
sports and social-related activities.
The property has been owned and managed by the Boykin Group as a Marriott
since opening in 1981. The hotel has approximately 11,500 square feet of
flexible meeting and banquet space, which can be divided into 11 rooms. In
addition, there are six executive suites that can accommodate smaller
conferences. The hotel also has a 250-seat restaurant and a lounge. The property
had approximately 200 rooms renovated, at an estimated cost of $1.0 million, in
1995. The hotel's design will accommodate a 2,500 square foot ballroom expansion
and the addition of up to 100 guest rooms. Improvements and renovations budgeted
for the next 12 months include installation of a business center, renovation of
the hotel's restaurant, guest room HVAC and bedding replacements, and
miscellaneous equipment items.
This hotel's average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the years 1991 through
1995 exceeded the aggregate average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR of its local
competition (as defined by Boykin Management for performance evaluation
purposes) during that period by 9.2%, 17.5% and 28.4%, respectively.
CLEVELAND AIRPORT MARRIOTT. This 375-room hotel is located in Cleveland,
Ohio on Interstate 71 approximately eight miles from downtown Cleveland and two
miles from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Approximately 42% of the
guests are business travelers. The primary business traveler guests are employed
by PPG Industries, American Greetings, General Electric, Marriott Corporation,
Ford Motor Company, and certain others. Group travel, which accounts for
approximately 25% of the hotel's business, is primarily related to professional
sports and entertainment and educational groups. Tourist travel accounts for
approximately 33% of the hotel's business and is based on nearby tourist
attractions such as the Cleveland Zoo and Rainforest, NASA Lewis Research
Center, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Jacobs Field, the home of the Cleveland
Indians baseball team, and Gund Arena, the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers
basketball team. The hotel is also expected to benefit from the contemplated
expansion of the airport, the development of Science Parkway (adjacent to NASA),
and continued usage of the nearby International Exposition Center, which houses
the largest meeting facility under one roof in the world.
The property was developed by the Boykin Group and has been managed by it
since its opening in 1970. In 1974, the property was expanded to 375 guest
rooms, and meeting space, a ballroom and a second restaurant were added. The
hotel has approximately 11,600 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet
space, which can be divided into 14 rooms. In addition there are four executive
suites that can accommodate smaller conferences. The hotel also has a lounge. As
part of an ongoing program, approximately $2.6 million has been spent over the
last five years on improvement and renovation of this hotel. Areas budgeted for
renovation during the next 12 months include certain meeting rooms, exterior lot
lighting, guest room bathroom floors and miscellaneous equipment.
This hotel's average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the years 1991 through
1995 exceeded the aggregate average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR of its local
competition (as defined by Boykin Management for performance evaluation
purposes) during that period by 1.6%, 14.3% and 15.7%, respectively.
CLEVELAND MARRIOTT EAST. This 403-room hotel is located in Beachwood, Ohio,
a suburb of Cleveland, just off Interstate 271. The hotel adjoins commercial
office development and is approximately 20 minutes from downtown Cleveland and
30 minutes from the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Approximately 80%
of the guests are business travelers. The primary business travelers are
employed by Swagelok, Allen Bradley, General Electric, TRW, Progressive
Insurance, Picker International and Master Builders. Group travel accounts for
approximately 20% of the hotel's business. The hotel is also adjacent to the
planned 650-acre Chagrin Highlands research-office park development.
The property has been owned and managed by the Boykin Group as a Marriott
since its opening in 1977. The hotel has approximately 14,400 square feet of
flexible meeting and banquet space, which can be divided into as many as 17
rooms. In addition, there are eight executive suites that can accommodate
smaller conferences. The hotel also has a 200-seat restaurant and a lounge. As
part of an ongoing program, approximately $2.6 million has been spent over the
last five years on improvement and renovation of this hotel, including a
substantial lobby renovation. Areas budgeted for renovation and improvement
during the next 12
52
<PAGE> 59
months include the restaurant and ballroom, guest room corridor carpeting, guest
elevators and certain exterior maintenance items.
While this hotel's average occupancy for the years 1991 through 1995
trailed the aggregate average occupancy of its local competition (as defined by
Boykin Management for performance evaluation purposes) during that period by
2.8%, the hotel's average ADR and REVPAR for that period exceeded the aggregate
average ADR and REVPAR of that competitive set during that period by 4.4% and
1.5%, respectively.
COLUMBUS NORTH MARRIOTT. This 300-room hotel is located in Columbus, Ohio,
just off Interstate 71 and near Interstate 270. The hotel is the only
full-service Marriott Hotel in Columbus, and is approximately 20 minutes from
downtown Columbus, 20 minutes from Ohio State University and 20 minutes from the
Port Columbus International Airport. Approximately 70% of the guests are
business travelers. The primary business travelers are employed by American
Express, Honda, Banc One, Borden, General Electric, AT&T and IBM. Group travel,
which accounts for 30% of the hotel's business, is primarily related to
convention and business groups.
The property has been owned and managed by the Boykin Group as a Marriott
since its opening in 1981. The hotel has approximately 14,000 square of flexible
meeting and banquet space, which can be divided into 13 rooms. In addition,
there are ten executive suites that can accommodate smaller conferences. The
hotel also has a 200-seat restaurant and a lounge. A $2.5 million renovation of
the hotel's guest rooms, lobby and lounge was completed in 1994. Items budgeted
for capital expenditures during the next 12 months include renovation of the
restaurant and certain guest rooms, installation of fire sprinklers, replacement
of the hotel's parking lot, and certain exterior maintenance items. The hotel's
management is evaluating expansion of the ballroom by 2,500 square feet and an
addition of up to 100 guest rooms, but no decision has been made regarding
either opportunity.
This hotel's average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the years 1991 through
1995 exceeded the aggregate average occupancy, ADR and REVPAR of its local
competition (as defined by Boykin Management for performance evaluation
purposes) during that period by .1%, 8.5% and 8.6%, respectively.
LAKE NORMAN HAMPTON INN. This 117-room limited-service hotel, which was
built in 1991, is located in Lake Norman, North Carolina at the southeast corner
of the intersection of Interstate 77 North, Exit 28 and North Carolina Highway
73. See "Business and Property -- The Initial Hotels -- Lake Norman Holiday
Inn," for a description of this hotel's location and sources of room demand.
The hotel has one meeting room. In 1995 the property underwent a soft goods
renovation and improvement. Improvements budgeted for the next 12 months include
replacement of lobby furniture and area rugs and guest room furniture and
televisions.

<PAGE> 62
At the inception of the Company, each Initial Hotel will be separately
leased by the Company to the Initial Lessee under a Percentage Lease. Hotels
acquired in the future may be leased to the Initial Lessee or other lessees and
it is possible, though not presently intended, that the Initial Hotels may also
be leased to others or sold in the future. Each Percentage Lease contains the
provisions described below. The Company expects that leases with respect to its
future hotel property investments will contain substantially similar provisions,
although the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, alter any of these
provisions with respect to any particular lease, depending on the purchase price
paid, economic conditions and other factors it considers relevant. The following
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Percentage
Lease, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part.
Duration. The Percentage Leases will have noncancelable terms ranging from
four to 10 years, subject to earlier termination on the occurrence of certain
contingencies described in the Percentage Leases (including, particularly, the
provisions described herein under "Damage to Hotels," "Condemnation of Hotel"
and "Termination of Percentage Leases on Disposition of the Hotels"). The
Percentage Leases for seven of the Initial Hotels expire on the earlier of the
franchise renewal date or the tenth anniversary of the Offering. Having these
lease terminations coincide with franchise renewal dates may facilitate any
necessary repositioning of the hotels at the time of the franchise renewals. In
addition, having staggered lease termination dates will enable the Company to
deal with lease and franchise renewal issues on a more deliberate basis than
would be the case if all of the leases expired simultaneously.
Amounts Payable Under the Percentage Leases. The Initial Lessee will be
obligated to pay (i) the higher of Minimum Rent or Percentage Rent; and (ii)
certain other amounts, including interest accrued on any late payment or charge
(the "Additional Charges"). Minimum Rent is a fixed amount determined by
negotiation between the Company and the Initial Lessee. Percentage Rent is
calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by gross room and other revenue, and
gross food and beverage revenue, over specified threshold amounts. Minimum Rent
is payable monthly in advance, and Percentage Rent is payable for each quarter
within 30 days after the end of the quarter.
Both the threshold gross room and other revenue amounts used in computing
Percentage Rent and Minimum Rent will be adjusted for changes in the Consumer
Price Index. The changes will be calculated at the beginning of each calendar
year beginning with 1997, based on the average annual change in the CPI during
the prior 12 months.
Each Percentage Lease requires the Initial Lessee to pay rent, all costs
and expenses, and all utility and other charges incurred in the operation of the
hotel. All capital expenditures (as defined in the lease) will be the
responsibility of the Company. Each Percentage Lease also provides for rent
reductions and abatements in the event of damage or destruction or a partial
taking of the hotel as described under "Damage to Initial Hotels" and
"Condemnation of Initial Hotels." The Initial Lessee will be required to carry
insurance to cover rental interruption for a period up to one year.
Maintenance and Modifications. The Initial Lessee will be required, at its
expense, to maintain the hotel in good order and repair, except for ordinary
wear and tear, and to make nonstructural, foreseen and unforeseen, and ordinary
and extraordinary, repairs which may be necessary and appropriate to keep the
hotel in good order and repair. The Company will fund capital expenditures and
the repair, replacement and refurbishment of FF&E in the hotel, when and as
considered necessary by the Company as required by the Franchises, and will
maintain the Capital Expenditures Fund to help provide funds to cover such
expenses. See "Business and Properties -- Business Strategy -- Renovations and
Development." The Company will make an annual contribution to the Capital
Expenditures Fund in an amount equal to 4% of the Initial Lessee's aggregate
gross revenues generated from the hotel. The Company and the Initial Lessee will
agree on an annual capital budget for each Initial Hotel.
The Initial Lessee, at its expense, may make noncapital and capital
additions, modifications or improvements to the hotel, so long as doing so does
not significantly alter the character or purposes of the hotel or significantly
detract from its value or operating efficiencies. All such alterations,
replacements and improvements will be subject to all of the terms of the
Percentage Lease and will become the property of the Company on termination of
the lease. The Company will own the FF&E, except in limited circumstances
56
<PAGE> 63
under which the Initial Lessee may purchase certain FF&E and the Initial Lessee
will own substantially all other personal property not affixed to, or considered
a part of, the real estate or improvements thereon. Any purchase of FF&E by the
Initial Lessee will be made on terms negotiated between the Company and the
Initial Lessee.
For so long as the Initial Lessee maintains its interior design and
purchasing operations, it will perform interior design and purchasing services
for the Initial Hotels without charge to the Company.
Insurance and Property Taxes. The Company is responsible for paying real
estate and personal property taxes on the hotel and for maintaining property
insurance, including casualty insurance. The Initial Lessee is required to
maintain comprehensive general public liability, workers' compensation, 12-month
rental interruption insurance and any other insurance customary for properties
similar to the hotel or required by any relevant Franchisor, and to have the
Company named as an additional insured. The Company believes that the insurance
coverage carried by each Initial Hotel is adequate in scope and amount.
Indemnification. Under each Percentage Lease, the Initial Lessee will
indemnify the Company against all liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or
asserted against the Partnership, on account of, among other things, (i) any
accident or injury to person or property on or about the hotel; (ii) any
negligence by the Initial Lessee or any of its agents as to the leased property;
(iii) any environmental liability resulting from conditions existing at the time
of completion of the Offering or caused or resulting thereafter from any action,
inaction or negligence of the Initial Lessee (see "Business and Properties --
Environmental Matters"); (iv) taxes and assessments in respect of the hotel
(other than real estate taxes and income taxes of the Company on income
attributable to the hotel); (v) the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages
on or in the real property or improvements thereon; or (vi) any breach of the
lease by the Initial Lessee. The Initial Lessee will not be required, however,
to indemnify the Company against the Company's negligence or willful misconduct.
Assignment and Subleasing. The Initial Lessee will not be permitted to
sublet all or any part of the hotel or assign its interest under the lease
without the prior written consent of the Partnership. The Initial Lessee may,
however, enter into a management agreement with a third party for the management
and operation of the hotel, with the consent of the Company, which the Company
may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. No assignment, subletting or
management agreement will release the Initial Lessee from any of its obligations
under the lease. The lease may not be indirectly sold by selling direct or
indirect ownership or control of the Initial Lessee without causing a default
under the Initial Lease.
Damage to Initial Hotels. If damage to or destruction of any Initial Hotel
renders such hotel unsuitable for the Initial Lessee's use and occupancy and is
covered by insurance, the Company may elect to repair, rebuild or restore the
hotel or offer to acquire it on the terms set forth in the lease. If the hotel
is not rebuilt, the lease will terminate and the insurance proceeds will be
retained by the Company. If damage to or destruction of the hotel does not
render the hotel wholly unsuitable for the Initial Lessee's use and occupancy
and is covered by insurance, the Company generally will be obligated to repair
or restore the hotel. The lease will remain in full force and effect during the
first 12 months of any period required for repair or restoration of the hotel,
after which time rent will be equitably abated.
Condemnation of Initial Hotels. In the event of a total condemnation of an
Initial Hotel, each of the Company and the Initial Lessee will be entitled to
terminate the lease as of the date of taking. The resulting condemnation award
will be allocated between the Company and the Initial Lessee as set forth in the
lease. In the event of a partial taking that does not render the hotel
unsuitable for the Initial Lessee's use, the Company must restore the untaken
portion of the hotel to a complete architectural unit, subject to an equitable
abatement of the rent during the period in which the hotel is not fully useable,
and the Company must provide the required funds to cover the cost of that
restoration, which may include that part of the condemnation award specified for
restoration.
Events of Default. Events of Default under each Percentage Lease include,
among others, the following:
57
<PAGE> 64
(i) the failure by the Initial Lessee to pay Minimum Rent when due and the
continuation of that failure for a period of 10 days;
(ii) the failure by the Initial Lessee to pay the Percentage Rent for any
quarter within 10 days after the end of that quarter;
(iii) the failure by the Initial Lessee to observe or perform any other
term of the Lease and the continuation of that failure beyond any applicable
cure period;
(iv) an Event of Default under any other Percentage Lease;
(v) if the Initial Lessee files a petition in bankruptcy or reorganization
under any federal or state bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law,
or is adjudicated a bankrupt or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, or if a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of the Initial Lessee
as a bankrupt or its reorganization pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy
law or any similar federal or state law is filed in any court and the Initial
Lessee is adjudicated a bankrupt and that adjudication is not vacated or set
aside or stayed within 60 days after the entry of an order in respect thereof,
or if a receiver of the Initial Lessee or of the whole or substantially all of
the assets of the Initial Lessee is appointed in any proceeding brought by the
Initial Lessee or any such receiver, trustee or liquidator is appointed in any
proceeding brought against the Initial Lessee and that appointment is not
vacated or set aside or stayed within 60 days after that appointment is made;
(vi) if the Initial Lessee voluntarily discontinues operations of the hotel
for more than 10 days, except as a result of damage, destruction, or
condemnation;
(vii) if the franchise agreement with respect to any Initial Hotel is
terminated by the franchisor as a result of any action or failure to act by the
Initial Lessee or its agents;
(viii) any failure to comply with the Initial Lessee's covenants regarding
distributions and maintenance of its net worth, as described under
"Lessees -- The Initial Lessee"; or
(ix) Robert and John Boykin and their heirs cease to own at least 51% of
the Initial Lessee or otherwise fail to control the Initial Lessee.
If an Event of Default occurs and continues beyond any curative period, the
Company may terminate the Lease and any or all of the other Percentage Leases,
and the Initial Lessee will be required to surrender possession of the affected
hotels.
Termination of Percentage Leases on Disposition of the Initial Hotels. If
the Company enters into an agreement to transfer an Initial Hotel to a
non-Affiliate, the Company may terminate that hotel's Percentage Lease by giving
the Initial Lessee 30 days prior notice and paying it the fair market value of
its leasehold interest in the remaining term of that Percentage Lease.
Franchise Agreements. The Initial Lessee will be the franchisee under the
franchise agreements for the Initial Hotels.
Inventory. All working capital assets required in the operation of the
Initial Hotels will be purchased by the Initial Lessee at its expense.
FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
Five of the nine Initial Hotels are licensed by Marriott International,
Inc. Of the four remaining Initial Hotels, one is licensed by Promus Hotels,
Inc. (licensor of Hampton Inns hotels), one by Choice Hotels International, Inc.
(licensor of Quality Suites hotels), one by Radisson Hotels International, Inc.
and one by Holiday Inns Franchising, Inc. These franchisors have consented to
the transfer of the Initial Hotels to the Partnership and of the related
franchise agreements to the Initial Lessee.
The Company anticipates that the additional hotel properties in which it
invests will in most cases be operated under franchise agreements. The Company
believes that the public's perception of quality associated with a franchisor
can be an important feature in the operation of a hotel. Franchisors provide a
variety of
58
<PAGE> 65
benefits for franchisees, including national advertising, publicity, and other
marketing programs designed to increase brand awareness, training of personnel,
continuous review of quality standards, and centralized reservation systems.
The franchise agreements generally impose certain management, operational,
recordkeeping, accounting, reporting, and marketing standards and procedures
with which the Initial Lessee must comply. The franchise agreements will
obligate the Initial Lessee to comply with the franchisors' standards and
requirements with respect to, among other things, training of operational
personnel, safety, maintenance of insurance, provision of ancillary services and
products, display of signage, and the type, quality, and age of FF&E included in
guest rooms and lobbies and other common areas. See "Risk Factors -- Hotel
Industry Risks -- Franchise Risks."
Termination. Each franchise agreement gives the Initial Lessee the right to
operate the related Initial Hotel under a franchise for a period of years
specified in that agreement. The Initial Lessee is responsible for making all
payments under the franchise agreements to the franchisor. The expiration dates
for the Initial Hotels' franchise agreements range from October 31, 1997 to
September 4, 2014. The franchise agreements provide for early termination at the
franchisor's option on the occurrence of certain events, including the Initial
Lessee's failure to pay fees or perform its other covenants under the franchise
agreement, bankruptcy, abandonment of the franchise, or assignment of the
franchise without the consent of the franchisor. The Initial Lessee has the
right to terminate the Berkeley Marina Marriott franchise agreement, which is
scheduled to expire on October 31, 1997, at any time on or after December 31,
1996. Each of the Initial Lessee and Choice Hotels International, Inc. has the
right to terminate the Melbourne Quality Suites franchise agreement, which is
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006, effective December 31, 1996 and, if
the agreement is not so terminated, effective December 31, 2001.
Sale of Hotel. The franchise agreements with Marriott contain a provision
requiring the franchisee, on receiving a bona fide offer to buy or lease the
related Initial Hotel, to give the franchisor the option to buy or lease (as
applicable) that hotel on the same terms as are contained in that offer. The
Choice Hotel franchise agreement provides that the agreement automatically
terminates on transfer of the related hotel unless the franchisor expressly
consents to that transfer. The Hampton Inn license agreement provides that a
transferee of the related hotel must apply for a new franchise and that
transfers not specifically authorized under the license agreement (for example,
transfers upon the death of the licensee or an equity owner of the licensee) are
void and are also a breach of the license agreement. The Holiday Inn license
agreement provides that a transferee of the hotel must apply for a new license
unless the franchisor has given its prior written consent to the transfer of the
hotel.
Noncompetition. The franchise agreements for the five Marriott hotels
included in the Initial Hotels prohibit the franchisee from being connected or
associated in any manner with any hotel, motel or inn business within a 5 mile
radius around the franchised hotel. These restrictions can be waived by
Marriott, whose waiver may not be unreasonably withheld. The Company has
obtained a waiver of these restrictions in regard to the Offering. If a
franchise agreement is terminated because of a default by the Initial Lessee,
the Initial Lessee may not, for 24 months after termination, operate any motel,
hotel or inn business (other than those in which it is then engaged) that is in
the 5 mile radius trade area.
There are no restrictions on the Company's ownership of other hotels in the
Hampton or Holiday Inn license agreements, or in the Radisson or Choice Hotel
franchise agreements.
Fees. Under the franchise agreements, the Initial Lessee will pay franchise
fees ranging from 3% to 6% of gross room sales and advertising or marketing and
reservation fees ranging from .8% to 4% of gross room sales.

EXCLUDED PROPERTIES
The Boykin Group will maintain separately its interest in the Connecticut
joint venture described under "Certain Transactions." In addition, William,
Robert and John Boykin will participate with an unrelated party in the
development of a parcel, other than for hotel use, that is located near the
Buffalo Marriott Hotel and that is not owned by the Boykin Group. One parcel of
undeveloped real estate owned by William Boykin will also not be transferred to
the Partnership.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
At the time of the Formation Transactions, subsidiaries of the Initial
Lessee will acquire and continue the third-party hotel management, interior
design and purchasing services business of Boykin Management. John E. Boykin
will serve as the initial Secretary of the subsidiaries. The subsidiaries
initially will manage 12 hotels, none of which is owned by the Company, Boykin
Management or any other Boykin Group Affiliate. Three of these hotels are
Hampton Inns in the Chicago, Illinois area, containing an aggregate of 366
rooms. These hotels are owned by an insurance company and have been managed by
Boykin Management since December 1995. Another of these hotels is the 400-room
Hanalei Best Western Hotel, in San Diego, California. The Boykin Group has
managed this property, which is owned by another insurance company, since 1992.
The remaining eight managed hotels, which Boykin Management has managed since
February 1996 on behalf of an institutional investor, contain an aggregate of
1,154 rooms and are located in Santa Barbara County and Ventura County,
California.

<PAGE> 67
EMPLOYEES
The Company will have five employees. These employees will perform,
directly or through the Partnership, various acquisition, development,
redevelopment and management functions. Approximately 75% of the Initial
Lessee's employees will be engaged in managing the operations of the Initial
Hotels. Approximately 25 of the Initial Lessee's employees will also have
responsibilities relating to the design, purchasing and management services to
be rendered to third parties, as described above. The Initial Lessee will
continue the Boykin Group's ongoing recruiting efforts to attract the highest
quality talent at all levels of sales management.
None of the persons who will be employees of the Company or the Initial
Lessee are represented by a union. The Company believes that its and the Initial
Lessee's relations with their respective employees are excellent.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations,
an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in the
property. This liability may be imposed without regard to whether the owner or
operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic
substances. Furthermore, a person that arranges for the disposal of a hazardous
substance at another property or transports a hazardous substance for disposal
or treatment at another property may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of hazardous substances at that property, regardless whether that
person owns or operates that property. The costs of any such remediation or
removal may be substantial, and the presence of any such substance, or the
failure promptly to remediate any such substance, may adversely affect the
property owner's ability to sell or lease the property or to borrow using it as
collateral. Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations
require abatement or removal of certain asbestos-containing materials in
connection with demolition or certain renovations or remodeling, impose certain
worker protection and notification requirements, and govern emissions of and
exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. Other federal, state and local laws,
ordinances and regulations and the common law impose on owners and operators
certain requirements regarding conditions and activities that may affect human
health or the environment. These conditions and activities include, for example,
the presence of lead in drinking water, the presence of lead-containing paint in
occupied structures, and the ownership or operation of underground storage
tanks. Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in difficulty
in the lease or sale of any affected property or the imposition of monetary
penalties, in addition to the costs required to achieve compliance and potential
liability to third parties. The Company, the Partnership or the Initial Lessee,
as the case may be, may be potentially liable for such costs or claims in
connection with the ownership and operation of the Initial Hotels. See "Risk
Factors -- Potential Environmental Liability".
Phase I environmental site assessments or assessment updates have been
completed within the last 24 months for each Initial Hotel, and a Phase II
assessment was conducted for one Initial Hotel in April 1996. These assessments
were intended to identify potential sources of contamination for which the
Initial Hotels may be responsible. The Phase I assessments included historical
reviews of the Initial Hotels, reviews of certain public records, preliminary
investigations of the sites and surrounding properties (without invasive
sampling or testing), screening for the presence of asbestos, PCBs and
underground storage tanks, and the preparation and issuance of a written report.
Certain of the Phase I assessments tested for the presence of radon, lead-based
paint, or lead in drinking water. The Phase II assessment involved subsurface
sampling.
The Phase I and Phase II assessments did not reveal any environmental
contamination or condition that the Company believes would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations.
Furthermore, the Company is not aware of any such contamination or condition.
Nevertheless, it is possible that there exists material environmental
contamination of which the Company is unaware.
No assurance can be given that (i) the assessments described above revealed
all potential environmental liabilities; (ii) future or amended laws, ordinances
or regulations, or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies of
existing environmental requirements, will not impose any material environmental
liability; or (iii) the environmental condition of the Initial Hotels has not
been and will not be affected by
61
<PAGE> 68
changes in the condition of properties in the vicinity of the Initial Hotels or
by the acts of third parties unrelated to the Company, Partnership or the
Initial Lessee.
The Company believes that the Initial Hotels are in compliance in all
material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other environmental
matters, the violation of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company or the Partnership. Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, any other entity with an interest in any of the Initial Hotels, has
been notified by any governmental authority, or is otherwise aware, of any
material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic
substances or other environmental matters in connection with any of its present
or former properties.
Certain Boykin Group Affiliates, including Robert and John Boykin, have
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any liability
arising as a result of any environmental condition relating to the Initial
Hotels at the time of consummation of the Offering.
COMPETITION
Each of the Initial Hotels is located in a developed area that includes
other hotel properties. See "Business and Properties--The Initial Hotels" for a
more detailed description of each Initial Hotel's competitive position in its
market. The occupancy, ADR and REVPAR of any Initial Hotel or any hotel property
acquired in the future could be materially and adversely affected by the number
of competitive hotel properties in its market area.
The Company may be competing for investment opportunities with entities
that have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. These
entities may generally be able to accept more risk than the Company can
prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of
entities in which investments may be made or risks attendant to a geographic
concentration of investments. Competition may generally reduce the number of
suitable investment opportunities offered to the Company and increase the
bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell.
TAX DEPRECIATION
The Partnership will acquire all of the equity interests in the Initial
Hotels in exchange for cash and equity interests in the Partnership. The
Partnership's initial basis for federal income tax purposes in the hotels in
which the Partnership acquires equity interests will be a carryover of the basis
of the sellers in the hotels on the date of the acquisitions, increased by any
gain recognized on the transfers to the Partnership. The Partnership plans to
use the Alternative Depreciation System ("ADS") for the buildings and
improvements constituting the Initial Hotels. Under ADS, the Partnership
generally will depreciate those buildings and improvements (even those acquired
with a carryover basis) over a new 40-year recovery period using a straight-line
method and a mid-month convention. The depreciation deductions generally will be
specially allocated to the Company under Code Section 704(c).
THE INTERCOMPANY CONVERTIBLE NOTE
The Company will lend approximately $40 million of the net proceeds of the
Offering to the Partnership for uses specified under "Use of Proceeds." The loan
will be evidenced by the Intercompany Convertible Note, which will mature on the
fifth anniversary of the closing of the Offering. Interest will accrue at a rate
equal to 8.5% per annum, increasing to 8.75% per annum on the third anniversary
of the completion of the Offering, and will be payable quarterly. The
Intercompany Convertible Note may be prepaid in full, but not in part, at any
time. The Company will have the right to convert the Intercompany Convertible
Note after the second anniversary of the completion of the Offering, and prior
to maturity and in advance of any proposed prepayment by the Partnership, into
additional equity interests in the Partnership at face value based on the
initial offering price of the Common Shares (and assuming that the value of one
Partnership Unit equals the value of one Common Share). On conversion of the
Intercompany Convertible Note, the Company would receive an additional equity
interest in the Partnership of 3.8%, which will reduce the equity interest in
the Partnership of the other holders of Units to 15.9%, assuming no other Common
Shares or Units were issued prior to that conversion. The Intercompany
Convertible Note will be secured by a mortgage on certain of the Initial Hotels
62
<PAGE> 69
and will be subordinated in right of payment to all other indebtedness of the
Partnership. The Intercompany Convertible Note will be guaranteed by certain
Boykin Group Affiliates and by certain Other Partners of the Contributed
Partnerships. Although the yield on the Intercompany Convertible Note will
initially exceed the yield on the equity in the Partnership, the Company has
not relied on the incremental cash flow in setting its initial dividend rate.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Neither the Company, the Initial Lessee nor the Partnership is currently
involved in any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any
material litigation currently threatened against the Company, the Initial Lessee
or the Partnership. Robert and John Boykin and the other Boykin Group Affiliates
holding ownership interests in the Initial Hotels have represented to the
Partnership that there is no material litigation threatened against or affecting
the Initial Hotels, or threatened against or affecting any Boykin Group
Affiliate, in a manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Initial
Lessee.
POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES WITH RESPECT
TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
The following supplements the discussion of the Company's internal growth,
acquisition, development and financing strategies set forth in "The
Company -- Business Objectives and Strategies." The Company's policies with
respect to those activities and the matters discussed below have been
established by the Board of Directors of the Company and may be amended or
revised from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors without a
vote of the shareholders of the Company, except that changes in certain policies
with respect to conflicts of interest must be consistent with legal
requirements.
INVESTMENT POLICIES
Investments in Real Estate. The Company may acquire equity interests in
hotel properties other than the Initial Hotels through the Partnership or other
entities controlled by the Partnership, or through joint ventures or other types
of co-ownership. These investments may be subject to existing mortgage financing
and other indebtedness that may have priority over the equity interest of the
Company.
The Company's current policy is to not invest in any one property more than
25% of its total assets at the time of the investment.
Investments in Real Estate Mortgages. While the Company will emphasize
equity real estate investments, it may invest in mortgage and other real estate
interests, including securities of other REITs, and in nonperforming mortgages
with the goal of acquiring the underlying property. The Company may invest in
participating or convertible mortgages (which are similar to equity
participation) if it may benefit from the cash flow or any appreciation in the
value of the subject property. The Company does not currently intend to invest
in mortgages or securities of other REITs.
FINANCING
While its organizational documents contain no limitation on the amount of
debt it may incur, the Company, subject to the discretion of the Board of
Directors, intends to maintain a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio
(measures at the time the debt is incurred) of not more than 45%. The Company
may from time to time re-evaluate its debt capitalization policy in light of
economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market valued of
its properties acquisitions, development and expansion opportunities and other
factors. Any indebtedness may be incurred through the Partnership or the
Company. Indebtedness incurred by the Company may be in the form of bank
borrowings, secured or unsecured, and publicly or privately placed debt
instruments, the proceeds of which would be loaned or contributed to the
Partnership. Indebtedness incurred by the Partnership may be in the form of
purchase money obligations to the sellers of properties, publicly or privately
placed debt instruments, further borrowings from the Company, or financing from
banks, institutional investors or other lenders, any of which indebtedness may
be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in the property
owned by the Partnership. This indebtedness may be
63
<PAGE> 70
recourse to all or any part of the property of the Company or the Partnership,
or may be limited to the specific property to which the indebtedness relates.
The proceeds from any borrowings by the Company or the Partnership may be used
for the payment of distributions or dividends, for working capital, or to
refinance existing indebtedness or to finance acquisitions or expansions of
properties. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Requirements for
Qualification -- Distribution Requirements."
If the Board of Directors determines to raise additional equity capital,
the Board has the authority, without shareholder approval, to issue additional
Common Shares or Preferred Shares or other capital shares of the Company in any
manner (and generally on such terms and for such consideration) as it deems
appropriate, including in exchange for property. Any such offering might cause a
dilution of the existing shareholders' investment in the Company.
The Company has obtained a commitment for the Credit Facility. See "The
Company -- Business Objectives and Strategies -- Financing Strategy" for a
description of the terms of the Credit Facility.
POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN OTHER ACTIVITIES
The Company has authority to offer capital shares or other securities and
to repurchase or otherwise reacquire its shares or any other securities, and may
engage in such activities in the future. As described under "Shares Available
for Future Sale," the Company may issue Common Shares to holders of Units in
connection with exercise of the Exchange Rights. The Company has not issued
Common Shares or any other securities to date, except in connection with the
formation of the Company. The Company has no outstanding loans to other entities
or persons, including its officers and directors, except for the loan to the
Partnership evidenced by the Intercompany Convertible Note, and except as
described above under " -- Investment Policies," does not currently intend to
make loans to other entities. The Company has not engaged, and does not
currently intend to engage, in trading, underwriting or agency distribution or
sale of securities of other issuers, and has not invested, and does not
currently intend to invest, in the securities of other issuers (other than the
Partnership) for the purpose of exercising control. The Company intends to make
investments in such a way that it will not be treated as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Company intends to make investments at all times in a manner consistent
with the requirements of the Code in order for the Company to qualify as a REIT
unless, because of changing circumstances or changes in the Code, in Treasury
Regulations or in the interpretations of either, the Company's Board of
Directors determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders to qualify as a REIT.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
Neither the Company's governing instruments nor Company policy prohibit any
Company director, officer, security holder or Affiliate from having a pecuniary
interest in any investment to be acquired or disposed of by the Company or in
any transaction to which the Company is a party or in which it has an interest.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation require that a majority of the
Company's Board of Directors consist of persons who are not officers or other
employees of the Company, Affiliates of the Boykin Group, or persons (or members
of firms) who directly or indirectly receive substantial fee income from the
Company ("Independent Directors"). Determinations to be made on behalf of the
Company with respect to relationships or opportunities that represent a conflict
of interest for any Company officer or director as such will be subject to the
approval of the Independent Directors. See "Risk Factors -- Conflicts of
Interest." In addition, Robert and John Boykin and the other Affiliates of the
Boykin Group have agreed that they will conduct all of their hotel ownership,
development and acquisition activities through the Company, except as described
under " -- Excluded Properties." The Company and the Initial Lessee have agreed
on certain additional measures that are designed to minimize conflicts of
interest between the Initial Lessee and its owners, on one hand, and the Company
and its shareholders, on the other. See "Lessees -- The Initial Lessee."
The Partnership's partnership agreement requires the Company to resolve in
favor of the Company's shareholders any conflict of interest between those
shareholders, on one hand, and the limited partners of the Partnership, on the
other hand, if the conflict cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to the
interests of
64
<PAGE> 71
either group. The partnership agreement also exonerates the Company from
monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not
derived by limited partners in connection with any such resolution, so long as
the Company has acted in good faith.
THE FORMATION
Formation Transactions. The principal transactions in connection with the
formation of the Company as a REIT and the acquisition of the Initial Hotels by
the Partnership are as follows:
- The Company was formed as an Ohio corporation in February 1996 and issued
an aggregate of one Common Share to Raymond P. Heitland.
- The Company will sell 7,875,000 Common Shares in the Offering.
- The Company will contribute approximately $119.0 million of the net
proceeds from the Offering to the Partnership in exchange for an
approximately 80.3% equity interest in the Partnership. The Company will
be the sole general partner of the Partnership. The Company will also
lend to the Partnership approximately $40 million of the net proceeds
from the Offering in exchange for an interest-bearing note convertible by
the Company into equity interests of the Partnership (the "Intercompany
Convertible Note"). See "Business and Properties -- The Intercompany
Convertible Note."
- Entities owned by Robert and John Boykin will form the Initial Lessee as
its sole members, and the Initial Lessee will acquire the Boykin Group
hotel operation and management business of Boykin Management.
Subsidiaries of the Initial Lessee will continue the third-party hotel
management, interior design and purchasing services businesses of Boykin
Management following the Offering. See "The Company -- Lessees -- The
Initial Lessee."
- The Boykin Group Affiliates will (i) cause the Contributed Partnerships
to convey certain working capital assets and liabilities to the Initial
Lessee; and (ii) together with the Other Partners and certain Boykin
Associates, indemnify the Partnership against liabilities of the
Contributed Partnerships other than the mortgage indebtedness to be
discharged by the Partnership as described herein.
- Each Initial Hotel is owned by a Contributed Partnership that comprises
other entities and individuals. Through the Contributed Partnerships,
Boykin Group Affiliates hold interests in all nine of the Initial Hotels,
Boykin Associates hold interests in two of the Initial Hotels, and Other
Partners hold interests in five of the Initial Hotels. The Partnership
will acquire a 100% ownership interest in all of the Initial Hotels for
an aggregate of approximately 1.49 million Units (valued at approximately
$32.8 million), approximately $6.9 million in cash, and the repayment of
approximately $7.9 million of existing indebtedness on the Initial
Hotels, as follows:
-- The Partnership will acquire interests in all nine of the Initial
Hotels from Boykin Group Affiliates in exchange for approximately
1.34 million Units (valued at approximately $29.5 million), and
repayment of a $3 million loan made by Boykin Management for the
benefit of one of the Initial Hotels (approximately $1.5 million of
which the Initial Lessee, as Boykin Management's successor, will in
turn repay to a third-party lender, and the balance of which will be
used to pay income taxes payable as a result of the Formation
Transactions or for working capital of the Initial Lessee).
-- The Partnership will acquire interests in two of the Initial Hotels
from Boykin Associates in exchange for approximately 20,600 Units
(valued at approximately $454,000), and $822,000 in cash;
-- The Partnership will acquire interests in five of the Initial Hotels
from the Other Partners in exchange for approximately 127,400 Units
(valued at approximately $2.8 million) and $6.1 million in cash; and
-- The Partnership will repay a loan of approximately $4.8 million made
by the Other Partners to one of the Initial Hotels.
65
<PAGE> 72
- The recipients of Units will have rights (generally not exercisable until
the third anniversary of the closing of the Offering in the case of
Boykin Group Affiliates and Boykin Associates) to exchange their Units
for cash (the "Exchange Rights"), subject to the Company's right to issue
Common Shares for those Units on a one-for-one basis. The Unit recipients
will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Company under
which any Common Shares so issued may be registered in certain public
offerings made by the Company after the transfer restrictions on those
Common Shares lapse. Exchange Rights may be exercised before the
specified anniversary of the closing of the Offering to the extent
necessary to enable the estate of any Unit holder to satisfy estate tax
liabilities, subject to the prior approval of the Company's Board of
Directors for any exercise that would cause the number of Units exchanged
in any 12-month period to exceed five percent of the Units outstanding at
the beginning of that period.
- The Partnership will use approximately $137.7 million of the funds
contributed to it to repay third-party mortgage indebtedness encumbering
the Initial Hotels, approximately $3.5 million of those funds as the
initial contribution to the Capital Expenditures Fund, and approximately
$3.0 million of those funds for formation costs, working capital and
other general partnership purposes.
- The Partnership will lease each Initial Hotel to the Initial Lessee
pursuant to a Percentage Lease.
- The Initial Lessee will assume the liquor licenses, franchise agreements,
other licenses and permits and certain working capital liabilities of the
Initial Hotels.
- Robert W. Boykin will become the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
and will enter into the employment agreement and be granted the stock
options described under "Management -- Employment Agreements" and
"Management -- Executive Compensation."
The Formation Transactions benefits to the Boykin Group Affiliates, the
Boykin Associates and the Other Partners, in addition to those described above,
include: (i) increased cash distributions to recipients of Units from the
operations of the Initial Hotels, because of the prepayment of mortgage debt;
(ii) elimination of approximately $5.3 million of mortgage debt guaranties;
(iii) the ability to exchange Units received in the Formation Transactions (as
described above) for cash, or at the Company's election, Common Shares with
registration rights, which will be more liquid than their interests in the
Initial Hotels; (iv) deferral of income tax by contributing their interests in
the Contributed Partnerships; (v) repayment from the proceeds of the Offering of
$3.0 million of loans made by Boykin Management to one of the Initial Hotels;
(vi) realization of an immediate accretion in the net tangible book value of
their investment in the Partnership of $51.64 per Unit; and (vii) receipt by
Robert W. Boykin, Raymond P. Heitland and Mark L. Bishop of options to purchase
250,000, 75,000 and 75,000 Common Shares, respectively, under the Company's Long
Term Incentive Plan. In addition, Robert and John Boykin will indirectly own all
of the interests in the Initial Lessee, which will be entitled to all profits
and cash flow from the Initial Hotels after payment of rent under the Percentage
Leases and other operating expenses.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Formation. Management of the Company
believes the Formation will have various beneficial effects on the operation of
the Initial Hotels, including the following:
- elimination of a substantial portion of the debt service burden on the
Initial Hotels, resulting in a greater amount of Funds From Operations
than would be available to the Company's shareholders if that debt
service were not eliminated; and
- increased financing capabilities, including the ability to issue
additional equity or debt securities and to fund the Company's future
investments in hotel properties.
The Formation may have certain disadvantages for purchasers of Common
Shares in the Offering, including the following:
- the value at which the Initial Hotels were contributed to the Company and
the terms of certain of the Formation Transactions were not established
through arm's-length negotiations and, accordingly, may not reflect fair
market values or terms (see "Certain Transactions");
66
<PAGE> 73
- purchasers of the Common Shares will experience immediate dilution of
$9.10 per share in the net tangible book value of the Common Shares; and
- Robert and John Boykin, who will have conflicts of interest with respect
to the Formation and operation of the Initial Hotels, will continue to
have significant influence over the affairs of the Company, the
Partnership and the operation of the Initial Hotels, as directors and
officers of the Company and of the Initial Lessee. See "Risk
Factors--Conflicts of Interest."
SECURITIES LAW MATTERS
The offer and sale of the Units in connection with the Formation have not
been registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for "transactions by
an issuer not involving any public offering."
67
<PAGE> 74

initial three year term that is automatically extended for an additional year at
the end of each year of the agreement, subject to the right of either party to
terminate the agreement by giving two years' prior written notice. The
agreements for Messrs. Heitland and Bishop provide for an initial one year term
that is automatically extended for an additional year at the end of each year of
the agreement, subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement
by giving six months' prior written notice.
Mr. Boykin will also be entitled to a bonus of from 10% to 90% of his

Each agreement provides that the employee will not compete with the Company
in the ownership, acquisition or development of hotels during his employment or
at any time during a period of up to two years immediately following the

employee's duties and responsibilities, or (ii) a "change in control" of the
Company (as defined in the employment contracts), the employee will be entitled
to all of the compensation and benefits payable to him under the employment

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
The Company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain
Boykin Group Affiliates and other partners of the Contributed Partnerships
pursuant to which the Company has granted those individuals and entities certain
rights, on exchange of their Units for Common Shares, to register Common Shares
in public offerings initiated by the Company after the transfer restrictions on
the Units and Common Shares held by those individuals and entities lapse.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
The Company intends to pay its Independent Directors an annual fee of
$16,000 and a fee of $1,000 for each directors' meeting and each committee
meeting attended. Each director may elect to receive their compensation in the
form of grants of Common Shares. No other directors will receive directors'
fees. Upon completion of the Offering, each Independent Director will receive an
option for 5,000 Common Shares exercisable at the initial public offering price
of the Common Shares, which option will vest fully within the first two years of
issuance and will have a term of ten years.
DIRECTORS' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The purpose of the Company's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (the
"Deferred Plan") is to assist it in attracting and retaining persons of
competence and stature to serve as outside directors by giving them the option
to defer receipt of the fees payable to them by the Company for their services
as directors. The Deferred Plan is (i) applicable to all director's fees payable
with respect to periods commencing with the Company's fiscal quarter that begins
October 1, 1996; (ii) limited to those Company directors who receive fees for
services as a director and are not employed by the Company; and (iii)
administered by Company officers or directors, appointed by the Board of
Directors, who are not eligible to participate in the Deferred Plan.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
The purpose of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is to
promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by enabling it to
attract, retain and reward key employees of the
70
<PAGE> 77
Company and its affiliates and to strengthen the mutuality of interest between
such key employees and the Company's shareholders. Grants of incentive or
nonqualified share options, restricted shares, deferred shares, share purchase
rights, share appreciation rights in tandem with options ("SARs"), other
share-based awards, or any combination thereof, may be made under the Plan.
Eligible employees of the Company may participate in the Plan. The Compensation
Committee will administer the Plan, and the members of the Compensation
Committee are not eligible to participate in the Plan. The Company has reserved
1,000,000 Common Shares for issuance under the Plan. No Participant in the Plan
may be granted stock options or other share awards in any calendar year for more
than 300,000 shares. Upon the Closing, Robert W. Boykin, Raymond P. Heitland and
Mark L. Bishop will be granted options to purchase 250,000, 75,000 and 75,000
shares, respectively, under the Plan. The share limitations, shares reserved and
the terms of outstanding awards will be adjusted, as the Compensation Committee
deems appropriate, in the event of a share dividend, split or other change in
the corporate structure of the Company affecting the shares.
Share Options and Tandem SARs. The exercise price of share options granted
under the Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value (as defined in
the Plan) of the shares on the date the option is granted. The Compensation
Committee may grant tandem SARs to any person granted an option under the Plan.
Each tandem SAR will represent the right to receive, in cash or shares as the
Compensation Committee determines, a distribution in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the option shares (to which the SAR
corresponds) on the date of exercise over the exercise price for those shares.
Each tandem SAR expires at the same time as its corresponding option. The
exercise of an option will result in an immediate forfeiture of its
corresponding SAR, and the exercise of an SAR will cause an immediate forfeiture
of its corresponding option. The Plan provides that all options and tandem SARs
will vest on a change in control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company.
Share Awards. The Compensation Committee may award Common Shares under the
Long-Term Incentive Plan and may place restrictions on the transfer or defer the
date of receipt of those shares. Each award will specify any applicable
restrictions or deferral date, the duration of those restrictions, and the time
at which the restrictions lapse. Participants will be required to deposit shares
with the Company during the period of any restrictions. The Compensation
Committee may also grant share purchase rights for which the purchase price may
not be less than 100% of the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) on the
date of grant.
Other Share-Based Awards. The Compensation Committee may grant other awards
of shares and other awards that are valued or otherwise based on the Company's
Common Shares.
Miscellaneous. The Plan provides for vesting, exercise or forfeiture of
rights granted under the Plan on retirement, death, disability, termination of
employment or a change of control. The Board of Directors may modify, suspend or
terminate the Plan as long as it does not impair the rights thereunder of any
participant. Under applicable law, the holders of Common Shares must approve any
increase in the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan,
any change in the classes of employees eligible to participate in the Plan and
any material increase in the benefits accruing to participants.

<PAGE> 79
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the formation of the Company in February 1996, Raymond
P. Heitland acquired one Common Share for a price of $100.
In connection with the Formation Transactions, all of the equity interests
in the Contributed Partnerships (which own the Initial Hotels) will be
transferred to the Partnership in exchange for an aggregate of 1,490,000 Units
and $6.9 million in cash. William, Robert and John Boykin will receive, either
directly or indirectly through entities that they own and control, approximately
136,400, 653,600, and 552,000 Units, respectively, for their ownership interests
in the Contributed Partnerships. These Units in the aggregate will represent
approximately 14.3% of the equity interest in the Partnership. The Contributed
Partnership that owned the Lake Norman Initial Hotels acquired those properties
in February 1996. The aggregate purchase price for the properties was
approximately $10 million. Prior to the Formation Transactions, Robert and John,
together, held a 46% interest and two of the Other Partners, together, held a
54% interest, in that Contributed Partnership. The aggregate value of the Units
distributed and mortgage indebtedness paid by the Partnership in the Formation
Transactions with respect to the Lake Norman Hotels will be approximately $13.9
million.
The Initial Lessee, which is indirectly owned by Robert and John Boykin,
will enter into the Percentage Leases with the Partnership and will be obligated
to pay rent thereunder. The Initial Lessee will acquire certain assets and
assume certain liabilities of the Initial Hotels, including the Franchise
Agreements of the Initial Hotels. See "Lessees -- The Initial Lessee" and "The
Formation."
The Partnership will use approximately $7.9 million of the net proceeds of
the Offering to repay loans made to the Contributed Partnerships by certain
partners of the Contributed Partnerships (the "Partner Loans"). Approximately $3
million of the Partner Loans is payable to Boykin Management. The Initial
Lessee, as the successor to Boykin Management, will use those funds to retire
third party bank indebtedness incurred by it and to pay income taxes or meet
working capital needs.
Approximately $5.3 million of the mortgage indebtedness to be paid by the
Partnership from the net proceeds of the Offering is guaranteed by Boykin Group
Affiliates, including William, Robert and John Boykin.
The Company has entered into employment agreements with Robert W. Boykin,
Raymond P. Heitland and Mark L. Bishop. The agreement for Robert W. Boykin
provides for an initial three year term and the agreements for Mr. Heitland and
Mr. Bishop provide for an initial term of one year. See "Management--Employment
Contracts."
The Initial Lessee manages the Initial Hotels under the Percentage Leases.
See "Business and Properties -- Percentage Leases."
The Initial Hotels paid a Boykin Group Affiliate $148,000 and $143,000 for
purchasing and design services rendered for the years ended December 31, 1994
and 1995, respectively. The Initial Hotels purchased hotel furnishings through a
Boykin Group Affiliate in the amounts of $1.8 million and $2.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 1994 and the year ended December 31, 1995, respectively.
These Boykin Group Affiliates will become subsidiaries of the Initial Lessee at
the time of the Offering, and these subsidiaries will perform such purchasing
and design services for the Initial Hotels without charge to the Company. See
"Business and Properties -- The Percentage Leases."
The Contributed Partnerships were indebted to Boykin Management and certain
other Boykin Group Affiliates in the aggregate amounts of $4.0 million and $3.7
million at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively, for management
fees, design fees, certain loan guarantee fees and loans payable, and certain
other amounts including reimbursable expenses.
Connecticut Property. The Boykin Group entered into discussions with a
private investor in September 1995 regarding a possible joint venture to acquire
and redevelop a 308-room full-service hotel in Connecticut. While the Company
does not believe that the venture, which is subject to continuing discussions,
is suitable for the Company as a hotel REIT, the Boykin Group has agreed that it
will present to the Company
73
<PAGE> 80
any opportunity to participate in the venture that the Boykin Group is able to
obtain for the Company. There can be no assurance that any such opportunity will
be obtained or would be suitable for the Company.
Buffalo Property. William, Robert and John Boykin hold interests in a joint
venture formed to purchase, other than for hotel purposes, a six-acre parcel in
the immediate vicinity of the Buffalo Marriott Hotel. The Company and the joint
venture have entered into an agreement that provides for certain cross-easements
between the properties and provides that the land will contain specific deed
restrictions to prevent the development of any hotel thereon.

CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY
GENERAL
The Company was formed as an Ohio corporation on the filing of its Articles
of Incorporation on February 8, 1996. The Company's Articles of Incorporation
authorize the issuance of 25 million Common Shares, without par value, of which
one share is issued and outstanding. In addition, up to 1 million Common Shares
have been reserved for issuance under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan and
an additional 25,000 Common Shares will be reserved for issuance on exercise of
options to be granted to the Independent Directors. Following completion of the
Offering, 7,875,000 million Common Shares will be issued and outstanding
(9,056,250 if the Underwriters' overallotment option is exercised in full).
There is no established trading market for the Common Shares. Application
will be made for the listing of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "BOY."
National City Bank, Cleveland, Ohio, will act as transfer agent and
registrar for the Common Shares.
The following description of the Company's capital shares and of certain
provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation is a summary of and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Incorporation, a copy
of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part. See "Additional Information."
COMMON SHARES
Holders of the Company's Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends,
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of funds
legally available therefor. The holders of Common Shares, upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Company, are entitled to share ratably in any
assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities of the Company and all
preferences of the holders of any outstanding preferred shares. The Common
Shares possess ordinary voting rights, each share entitling the holder thereof
to one vote. Holders of Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in
the election of directors and do not have preemptive rights. All of the
Company's Common Shares now outstanding are, and the Common Shares offered
hereby when issued and sold to the Underwriters in the manner described in this
Prospectus will be, fully paid and nonassessable.
PREFERRED SHARES
The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of two
classes of preferred shares (collectively, the "Preferred Shares"), each in one
or more series, to establish the number of shares in each series and to fix the
designation, powers, preferences and rights (other than voting rights) of each
series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon. An aggregate
of 5 million Preferred Shares are authorized. Because the Board of Directors has
the power to establish the preferences and rights of each series of Preferred
Shares, the Board of Directors may afford the holders of any series of Preferred
Shares preferences, powers and rights senior to the rights of holders of Common
Shares. The issuance of Preferred
75
<PAGE> 82
Shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of
the Company. The Company has no present intention to issue Preferred Shares.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, it must meet certain
requirements concerning the ownership of its outstanding shares. Specifically,
not more than 50% in value of the Company's outstanding shares may be owned,
directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to
include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the
first year of the Company's existence) or during a proportionate part of a
shorter taxable year, and the Company must be beneficially owned by 100 or more
persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year (other than that first year)
or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations -- Requirements for Qualification." Because the Company
expects to qualify as a REIT, the Articles of Incorporation limit the
acquisition of shares of the Company's capital stock (the "Ownership Limit").
The Ownership Limit provides that, subject to certain exceptions set forth
in the Articles of Incorporation, no person may own, or be deemed to own, by
vote or value, by virtue of the applicable attribution provisions of the Code,
more than 9.8% of each class of the outstanding shares of the Company. The Board
of Directors may, but is not required to, waive the Ownership Limit if it
determines that greater ownership will not jeopardize the Company's status as a
REIT. As a condition of that waiver, the Board of Directors may require opinions
of counsel satisfactory to it and undertakings or representations from the
applicant with respect to preserving the REIT status of the Company.
If any purported transfer of capital shares of the Company or any other
event would otherwise result in any person or entity violating the Ownership
Limit or would cause the Company to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100
persons, that transfer will be void and of no force or effect as to the number
of shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, and the purported transferee (the
"Prohibited Transferee") will acquire no right or interest (or, in the case of
any event other than a purported transfer, the person or entity holding record
title to shares in excess of the Ownership Limit (the "Prohibited Owner") will
cease to own any right or interest) in the excess shares. In addition, if any
purported transfer of shares of the Company or any other event would cause the
Company to become "closely held" under the Code or otherwise to fail to qualify
as a REIT under the Code, that transfer will be void and of no force or effect
as to the number of shares in excess of the number that could have been
transferred without that result, and the Prohibited Transferee will acquire no
right or interest (or, in the case of any event other than a transfer, the
Prohibited Owner will cease to own any right or interest) in the excess shares.
Also, if any purported transfer of shares of the Company or any other event
would otherwise cause the Company to own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the
applicable attribution provisions of the Code, 10% or more, by vote or value, of
the ownership interests in the Initial Lessee or in any sublessee, that transfer
or event will be void and of no force or effect as to the number of shares in
excess of the number that could have been transferred or affected by that event
without that result, and the Prohibited Transferee will acquire no right or
interest (or, in the case of any event other than a transfer, the Prohibited
Owner will cease to own any right or interest) in the excess shares.
Any excess shares arising from a prohibited transfer described above will
be transferred automatically to a trust, the beneficiary of which will be a
qualified charitable organization selected by the Company (the "Beneficiary").
The trustee of the trust, who will be designated by the Company and be
unaffiliated with the Company and any Prohibited Owner, will be empowered to
sell the excess shares to a qualified person or entity and to distribute to the
applicable Prohibited Transferee an amount equal to the lesser of the price paid
by the Prohibited Transferee for those excess shares or the sale proceeds
received for those shares by the trust. The trustee will be empowered to sell
any excess shares resulting from any event other than a transfer, or from a
transfer for no consideration, to a qualified person or entity and distribute to
the applicable Prohibited Owner an amount equal to the lesser of the fair market
value of those excess shares on the date of the triggering event or the sale
proceeds received by the trust for those excess shares. Prior to a sale of any
excess shares by the trust, the trustee will be entitled to receive, in trust
for the benefit of the Beneficiary, all dividends and other distributions paid
by the Company with respect to those shares, and also will be entitled to
exercise all voting rights with respect to those shares.
76
<PAGE> 83
All certificates representing shares of the Company will bear a legend
referring to the restrictions described above.
Every owner of more than 5% (or such lower percentage as may be required by
the Code or Treasury Regulations) of the outstanding shares of the Company must
file no later than January 30 of each year a written notice with the Company
containing the information specified in the Articles of Incorporation. In
addition, each shareholder will be required, upon demand, to disclose to the
Company in writing such information as the Company may request in order to
determine the effect, if any, of that shareholder's actual and constructive
ownership on the Company's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the
Ownership Limit.
The Ownership Limit may have the effect of precluding an acquisition of
control of the Company without approval of the Board of Directors.
INDEMNIFICATION
The Ohio Revised Code authorizes Ohio corporations to indemnify officers
and directors against liability if the officer or director acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed by the officer or director to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal actions, if the officer or director had no reason to believe his action
was unlawful. In the case of an action by or on behalf of a corporation,
indemnification may not be made (i) if the person seeking indemnification is
adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct, unless the court in which such
action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification, or (ii) if the liability asserted against such person concerns
certain unlawful distributions. The indemnification provisions of the Ohio
Revised Code require indemnification if a director or officer has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding that he was a party to by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director or officer of the corporation. The indemnification authorized under
Ohio law is not exclusive and is in addition to any other rights granted to
officers and directors under the articles of incorporation or code of
regulations of the corporation or any agreement between officers and directors
and the corporation. A corporation may maintain insurance or furnish similar
protection on behalf of any officer or director against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in his capacity, or arising out of his status,
as an officer or director, whether or not the corporation would have the power
to indemnify him against such liability under the Ohio Revised Code.
The Company's Code of Regulations provides for the indemnification of
directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted by Ohio
law, as authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, and for the
advancement of expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action,
suit or proceeding that he was a party to by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director or officer of the Company upon the receipt of an undertaking to
repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that the director or
officer is entitled to indemnification.
OHIO ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
The Company has elected not to be subject to Ohio's "Merger Moratorium"
statute (Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code) or its "Control Share
Acquisition" act (Section 1701.831 of the Ohio Revised Code), in light of the
substantial share transfer restrictions included in the Company's Articles of
Incorporation. Section 1701.041 of the Ohio Revised Code, which regulates
certain "control bids" for Ohio corporations, does not contain an election
provision and remains applicable to the Company.
THE PARTNERSHIP
The following summary of the Partnership Agreement, and the descriptions of
certain provisions thereof set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement, which is filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
77
<PAGE> 84
MANAGEMENT
The Partnership is an Ohio limited partnership. Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement, the Company, as the sole general partner of the Partnership (the
"General Partner"), will have full, exclusive and complete responsibility and
discretion in the management and control of the Partnership, and the limited
partners of the Partnership (the "Limited Partners") will have no authority to
transact business for, or to participate in the management activities or
decisions of, the Partnership. However, any amendment to the Partnership
Agreement that would (i) seek to impose personal liability on the Limited
Partners; (ii) affect the Exchange Rights; or (iii) impose on the Limited
Partners any obligation to make additional contributions to the capital of the
Partnership, would require the consent of Limited Partners holding at least
66 2/3% of the limited partnership interests.
The Partnership has been formed to own the Initial Hotels and to own all
other properties acquired by the Company. Accordingly, the income and expenses
of the Company that will be reflected in the financial information to be
provided to the shareholders will be the income and expenses of the Partnership,
adjusted (on a pro forma basis) to deduct the minority interest of the Limited
Partners. Distributions from the Partnership will be made at the discretion of
the Company as the sole general partner of the Partnership. See "Distributions"
for a discussion of the factors relevant to the determination of those
distributions. All distributions from the Partnership will be made to the
Company and the Limited Partners concurrently, and will be allocated to the
Company, on the one hand, and to the Limited Partners, on the other, on a pro
rata basis by reference to their respective percentage interests in the
Partnership.
TRANSFERABILITY OF INTERESTS
The Company may not voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership or transfer
or assign its interest in the Partnership unless the transaction in which the
withdrawal or transfer occurs results in the Limited Partners receiving property
in an amount equal to the amount they would have received had they exercised
their Exchange Rights immediately prior to the transaction, or unless the
successor to the Company contributes substantially all of its assets to the
Partnership in return for an interest in the Partnership. With certain limited
exceptions, the Limited Partners may not transfer their interests in the
Partnership without the consent of the Company. The Company may not consent to
any transfer that would cause the Partnership to be treated as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
The Company will contribute or loan to the Partnership all of the net
proceeds of the Offering as its initial capital contribution or pursuant to the
Intercompany Convertible Note. The Limited Partners will contribute to the
Partnership the Limited Partners' proportionate ownership interests in the
Initial Hotels as their initial capital contributions. The value of each Limited
Partner's capital contribution will equal its pro rata share of the price paid
by the Partnership to acquire the Contributed Partnerships.
The Partnership Agreement provides that if the Partnership requires
additional funds at any time or from time to time in excess of funds available
to the Partnership from borrowings or capital contributions, the Company may
borrow those funds from a financial institution or other lender and lend those
funds to the Partnership on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to
the Company's borrowing of the funds. As an alternative to borrowing funds
required by the Partnership, the Company may contribute the amount of the
required funds as an additional capital contribution to the Partnership. If the
Company so contributes additional capital, the Company's partnership interest in
the Partnership will be increased on a proportionate basis based on the amount
of the additional capital contributions and the value of the Partnership at the
time of the contributions. If the Company issues Preferred Shares, it will
contribute the proceeds therefrom to the Partnership in exchange for Partnership
interests that have the same terms as those Preferred Shares. The partnership
interests of the Limited Partners will be correspondingly decreased or adjusted
in connection with any such contribution.
78
<PAGE> 85
EXCHANGE RIGHTS
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners will receive
the Exchange Rights, which will enable them to cause the Partnership to purchase
their Units for cash. The Exchange Rights may be exercised by Limited Partners
who are Boykin Group Affiliates or Boykin Associates at any time after the third
anniversary of the closing of the Offering, and by the Other Partners, who hold
an aggregate of 1.4% of the Units, at any time after the closing of the
Offering, in whole or in part. The amount of cash to be received by a Limited
Partner exercising exchange rights will be determined by mathematically
converting the Limited Partner's Units to a number of Common Shares at a
conversion rate of one Common Share for each Unit held by that Limited Partner
and then multiplying the resulting number of Common Shares by the average daily
market price of a Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the date the Company receives the applicable notice of
exchange from that Limited Partner.
The Company may elect to assume and directly satisfy an Exchange Right by
paying cash to the Limited Partner or by delivering Common Shares for the
exchanged Units on a one-for-one basis. If the Company elects to pay cash in
satisfaction of an Exchange Right, the amount payable by the Company is due
within one year after the exercise of the right, subject to an interest charge
equal to the lower of the Company's current annual dividend rate or 8.0% per
annum. The number of shares into which Units are converted for purposes of
determining the cash payable on exercise of Exchange Rights will be adjusted on
the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro rata
share transactions that otherwise would have the effect of diluting the
ownership interests of the Limited Partners or the shareholders of the Company.
TAX MATTERS; PROFITS AND LOSSES
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Company will be the tax matters
partner of the Partnership and, as such, will have authority to make tax
elections under the Code on behalf of the Partnership.
Profit and loss of the Partnership generally will be allocated among the
partners in accordance with their respective interests in the Partnership,
except to the extent that the Partnership is required pursuant to Section 704(c)
of the Code to allocate depreciation deductions relating to, or gain on sale of,
the Initial Hotels in a different manner. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations -- Tax Aspects of the Company's Investment in the Operating
Partnership -- Tax Allocations With Respect to the Properties."
OPERATIONS
The Partnership Agreement requires that the Partnership be operated in a
manner that will enable the Company to satisfy the requirements for being
classified as a REIT and to avoid any federal income tax liability.
DISTRIBUTIONS
The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will make cash
distributions from cash from operations (including net sale or refinancing
proceeds, but excluding net proceeds from the sale of the Partnership's property
in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership) quarterly, in amounts
determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to the partners in accordance
with their respective percentage interests in the Partnership. Upon liquidation
of the Partnership, after payment of, or adequate provision for, debts and
obligations of the Partnership, including any partner loans, any remaining
assets of the Partnership will be distributed to all partners with positive
capital accounts in accordance with their respective positive capital account
balances. If the Company has a negative balance in its capital account following
a liquidation of the Partnership, it will be obligated to contribute cash to the
Partnership equal to the negative balance in its capital account.
TERM
The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2050, or until sooner
dissolved on (i) the bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal of the Company
(unless the Limited Partners elect to continue the Partnership); (ii) the sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Partnership;
(iii) the redemption of
79
<PAGE> 86
all limited partnership interests in the Partnership (other than those held by
the Company, if any); or (iv) the election of the General Partner.
SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
On the completion of the Offering, the Company will have 7,875,000 million
Common Shares outstanding (without taking into account any options granted to
employees or directors of the Company and assuming no exercise of the
Underwriters' overallotment option or exchange of Units). All of the Common
Shares issued in the Offering will be freely tradeable, by persons other than
"affiliates" of the Company, without restriction under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act"). All of the outstanding Units, will be "restricted"
securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not
be sold under the Securities Act unless an exemption from registration is
available, including exemptions contained in Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has (or
persons whose shares are aggregated who have) beneficially owned shares for at
least two years, including an "affiliate," as that term is defined below, would
be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, that number of shares that
does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding number of shares
and (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the shares during the four
calendar weeks preceding that sale. Sales pursuant to Rule 144 are also subject
to certain manner-of-sale restrictions, notice requirements and the availability
of information about the Company. A person who is not deemed an "affiliate" of
the Company, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least three years, is
entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the limitations
described above. As defined in Rule 144, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person
who directly, or indirectly through the use of one or more intermediaries,
controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, that issuer.
Prior to the date of this Prospectus, there has been no public market for
the Common Shares. Trading of the Common Shares is expected to commence
following the completion of the Offering. No prediction can be made as to the
effect, if any, that future sales of shares or the availability of shares for
future sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of
substantial amounts of Common Shares (including shares issued on the exercise of
options), or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect
the market price of the Common Shares. The holders of all of the Common Shares
and Units outstanding immediately prior to the Offering have agreed, subject to
certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
any Common Shares or Units for a period of one year after the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives. See
"Underwriting."
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion summarizes the federal income tax considerations
that materially affect a prospective shareholder who is a U.S. citizen or
resident or a tax-exempt organization (including individual retirement
accounts). The discussion is general in nature and not exhaustive of all
possible tax considerations, nor does the discussion give a detailed description
of any state, local, or foreign tax considerations. The discussion does not
address all aspects of federal income tax law that may be relevant to a
prospective shareholder of the Company in light of his or her particular
circumstances or to certain types of shareholders (including insurance
companies, financial institutions or broker-dealers, and (except to the limited
extent discussed herein) foreign corporations and persons who are not citizens
or resident of the United States) subject to special treatment under the federal
income tax laws.
THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING
AND EACH PROSPECTIVE SHAREHOLDER OF THE COMPANY IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH HIS
OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF
THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND SALE OF COMMON SHARES IN AN ENTITY ELECTING TO BE
TAXED AS A REIT, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH
PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE, AND ELECTION AND OF POTENTIAL CHANGES IN APPLICABLE
TAX LAWS.

GENERAL
The Company expects that it will be organized and will operate in such a
manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1996 and the
Company intends to operate in such a manner in the future. No assurance can be
given, however, that the Company will operate in a manner so as to qualify or
remain qualified as a REIT.
Baker & Hostetler, counsel to the Company ("Counsel"), has rendered its
opinion, subject to certain assumptions and conditioned upon certain factual
representations made by the Company, that (i) the Company will be organized in
conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and
that the method of operation of the Company and the Operating Partnership will
permit the Company to continue to so qualify for its current and future taxable
years; (ii) the Operating Partnership will be treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes; and (iii) the summary of federal income tax
considerations set forth in this Prospectus accurately summarizes the federal
income tax considerations that are likely to be material to a holder of Common
Shares. Unlike a tax ruling, an opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS,
and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the status of the
Company as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. With respect to Counsel's
opinion relating to the qualification of the Company as a REIT, it should be
noted that the Company's continued qualification as a REIT in current and future
taxable years will depend upon whether the Company and the Operating Partnership
continue to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code
(discussed below). Counsel will not review compliance with these tests on a
periodic or continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
actual results of the Company's operations for the current or future taxable
years will satisfy such requirements. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations --
Requirements for Qualification as a REIT -- Failure to Qualify."
The opinions and discussion herein are based upon the Code, as currently in
effect, applicable Treasury Regulations adopted thereunder, reported judicial
decisions, and IRS rulings, all as of the date hereof and certain factual
representations and assumptions made by the Company concerning the organization
and proposed operation of the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that
the legal authorities on which such opinions and this discussion are based will
not change, perhaps retroactively, that the Company's representations and
factual assumptions underlying this discussion will be accurate, or that there
will not be a change in circumstances of the Company that would affect such
opinions or this discussion. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS
will not challenge the conclusion of Counsel's opinions.
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY AS A REIT
If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT and distributes to its
shareholders at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, it generally will not be
subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of its ordinary income or
capital gain that is timely distributed to its shareholders. This treatment
substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (at the corporate and shareholder
levels) that generally results from investment in a corporation. If the Company
were to fail to qualify as a REIT, it would be taxed at rates applicable to
corporations on all of its income, whether or not distributed to its
shareholders. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to
federal income or excise tax as follows:
(i) The Company will be taxed at regular corporate rates on REIT
taxable income and net capital gains not distributed to its shareholders;
(ii) Under certain circumstances, the Company may be subject to the
"alternative minimum tax" on its items of tax preference, if any;
(iii) If the Company has net income from prohibited transactions
(which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of property,
other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in
the ordinary course of business) such income will be subject to a 100% tax;
(iv) If the Company should fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test
or the 95% gross income test (as discussed below), and has nonetheless
maintained its qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements
have been met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the net income
attributable to the greater of the amount by which the Company fails the
75% or 95% test, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect the Company's
profitability;
81
<PAGE> 88
(v) If the Company should fail to distribute during each calendar year
at least the sum of (A) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year, (B)
95% of its REIT capital gain net income for such year and (C) any
undistributed taxable income from prior years, it would be subject to a 4%
excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts
actually distributed;
(vi) If the Company has (A) net income from the sale or other
disposition of "foreclosure property" (which is, in general, property
acquired by the Company by foreclosure or otherwise on default on a loan
secured by the property) which is held primarily for sale to customers in
the ordinary course of business or (B) other nonqualifying income from
foreclosure property, it will be subject to tax on such income at the
highest corporate rate; and
(vii) If the Company acquires assets from a C corporation (i.e.,
generally a corporation subject to tax at the corporate level) in a
transaction in which the bases of the acquired assets in the Company's
hands are determined by reference to the bases of the assets (or any other
property) in the hands of the C corporation, and the Company recognizes net
gain on the disposition of such assets in any taxable year during the
10-year period (the "Restriction Period") beginning on the date on which
such assets were acquired by the Company then, pursuant to guidelines
issued by the IRS, the excess of the fair market value of such property at
the beginning of the applicable Restriction Period over the Company's
adjusted basis in such property as of the beginning of such Restriction
Period will be subject to a tax at the highest regular corporate rate.
REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFICATION AS A REIT
General. The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association:
(i) which is managed by one or more trustees or directors;
(ii) the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable
shares or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;
(iii) which would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for
Sections 856 through 859 of the Code;
(iv) which is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company
subject to certain provisions of the Code;
(v) which has the calendar year as its taxable year;
(vi) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons;
(vii) during the last half of each taxable year not more than 50% in
value of the outstanding shares of which is owned, directly or indirectly,
by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain
exempt entities);
(viii) which makes an election to be a REIT (or made such an election
in a previous taxable year that is still valid) and satisfies all relevant
filing and other administrative requirements that must be met in order to
maintain REIT status; and
(ix) which meets certain income and asset tests, described below.
Conditions (i) through (v), inclusive, must be met during the entire taxable
year and condition (vi) must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year
of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12
months. However, conditions (vi) and (vii) will not apply until after the first
taxable year for which an election is made to be taxed as a REIT. The Company's
taxable year will be the calendar year. Following the consummation of this
Offering, the Company will have satisfied the share ownership requirements set
forth in (vi) and (vii) above (respectively, the "100 shareholder requirement"
and "five or fewer requirement"). In order to ensure continuing compliance with
the share ownership requirements, the Company has placed certain restrictions on
the transfer of its Common Shares to prevent further concentration of share
ownership. See "Capital Stock of the Company -- Restrictions on Transfer."
Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the Company must
maintain records which disclose the actual
82
<PAGE> 89
ownership of its outstanding Common Shares. In fulfilling its obligation to
maintain these records, the Company must, and will, demand written statements
each year from the record holders of designated percentages of its Common Shares
disclosing the actual owners of such Common Shares. A list of those persons
failing or refusing to comply with such demand must be maintained as a part of
the Company's records. A shareholder failing or refusing to comply with the
Company's written demand must submit with his or her tax return a similar
statement and certain other information.
Asset Tests. In order for the Company to maintain its qualification as a
REIT, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, it must satisfy three
tests relating to the nature of its assets:
(i) At least 75% of the value of the Company's total assets must be
represented by any combination of interests in real property, interests in
mortgages on real property, shares in other REITs, cash, cash items, and
certain government securities.
(ii) Not more than 25% of the Company's total assets may be
represented by securities other than those in the 75% asset class.
(iii) Of the investments included in the 25% asset class, the value of
any one issuer's securities owned by the Company may not exceed 5% of the
value of the Company's total assets, and the Company may not own more than
10% of any one issuer's outstanding voting securities (excluding securities
of a qualified REIT subsidiary (as defined in the Code) or another REIT).
Where the Company owns an interest in a partnership, it will be treated for
purposes of the asset tests as owning a proportionate part of the partnership's
assets. See "-- Tax Aspects of the Company's Investment in the Operating
Partnership -- General." The Company's investment in the Initial Hotels through
its interest in the Operating Partnership will constitute qualified assets for
purposes of the 75% asset test. As such, the Company expects that more than 75%
of the value of its assets will be real estate assets.
The Company does not expect to hold any securities representing more than
10% of any one issuer's voting securities nor does the Company expect to hold
securities of any one issuer exceeding 5% of the value of the Company's gross
assets.
If the Company inadvertently fails one or more of the asset tests at the
end of a calendar quarter, such a failure would not cause it to lose its REIT
status, provided that (i) it satisfied all of the asset tests at the close of a
preceding calendar quarter, and (ii) the discrepancy between the values of the
Company's assets and the standards imposed by the asset test either did not
exist immediately after the acquisition of any particular asset or was not
wholly or partly caused by such an acquisition. If the condition described in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence was not satisfied, the Company could still
avoid disqualification by eliminating any discrepancy within 30 days after the
close of the calendar quarter in which it arose.
Income Tests. In order for the Company to maintain its qualification as a
REIT, it must satisfy three separate percentage tests relating to the source of
its gross income in each taxable year. For purposes of these tests, where the
Company invests in a partnership, the Company will be treated as receiving its
proportionate share of the gross income of the partnership, and such gross
income will retain the same character in the hands of the Company as it had in
the hands of the partnership. See "-- Tax Aspects of the Company's Investment in
the Operating Partnership -- General."
(i) The 75% Test. At least 75% of the Company's gross income
(excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year
must be derived from specified real estate sources, including "rents from
real property" and interest and certain other income earned from mortgages
on real property, gain from the sale of real property or mortgages (other
than in prohibited transactions) or income from qualified types of
temporary investments.
(ii) The 95% Test. At least 95% of the Company's gross income
(excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year
must be derived from the same items which qualify under the 75% income test
or from dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock
or securities, or from any combination of the foregoing.
83
<PAGE> 90
(iii) The 30% Test. Less than 30% of the Company's gross income
(including gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year
must be derived from a gain in connection with the sale or other
disposition of stock or securities held for less than one year, property in
a prohibited transaction and real property held for less than four years
(other than involuntary conversions and foreclosure property).
Rents received by the Company will qualify as "rents from real property"
for purposes of the 75% and 95% income tests if the following requirements are
met.
(i) The amount of rent received must generally not be based in whole
or in part on the income or profits derived by any person from such
property. However, amounts received or accrued generally will not be
excluded from the term "rents from real property" solely by reason of being
based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales, or if they
are based on the net income or profits of the tenant and the tenant derives
substantially all of its income with respect to such property from the
leasing or subleasing of substantially all of such property and such tenant
receives from subtenants only amounts which would be treated as rents from
real property if received directly by the Company.
(ii) Rents must not be received from a tenant in which the Company or
a direct or indirect owner of 10% or more of the Company, owns directly or
constructively a 10% or greater interest in the assets or net profits of
such tenant (a "Related Party Tenant").
(iii) The Company must not operate or manage its property or furnish
or render directly services to its tenants unless such services are of a
type that a tax-exempt organization can provide its tenants without causing
its rental income to be unrelated business taxable income under the Code
("Qualifying Services"). If such services are not Qualifying Services, such
services must be rendered by an "independent contractor" that is adequately
compensated and from whom the Company derives no income. Receipts for
services furnished (whether or not rendered by an independent contractor)
that are not customarily provided to tenants of properties of a similar
class in the geographic market in which the Company's property is located
("Noncustomary Services") will not qualify as rents from real property.
(iv) Rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with
a lease of real property will not qualify as "rents from real property" if
such rent is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease.
In order for the Minimum Rent and the Percentage Rent to constitute "rents
from real property," the Percentage Leases must be respected as true leases for
federal income tax purposes and not treated as service contracts, joint ventures
or some other type of arrangement. The determination of whether the Percentage
Leases are true leases depends on an analysis of all the surrounding facts and
circumstances. In making such a determination, courts have considered a variety
of factors, including the intent of the parties, the form of the agreement, and
the degree of control over the property that is retained by the property owner.
Code Section 7701(e) provides that a contract that purports to be a service
contract (or a partnership agreement) is treated instead as a lease of property
if the contract is properly treated as such, taking into account all relevant
factors, including whether or not (i) the service recipient is in physical
possession of the property; (ii) the service recipient controls the property;
(iii) the service recipient has a significant economic or possessory interest in
the property (e.g., the property's use is likely to be dedicated to the service
recipient for a substantial portion of the useful life of the property, the
recipient shares the risk that the property will decline in value, the recipient
shares in any appreciation in the value of the property, the recipient shares in
savings in the property's operating costs, or the recipient bears the risk of
damage to or loss of the property); (iv) the service provider does not bear any
risk of substantially diminished receipts or substantially increased
expenditures if there is nonperformance under the contract; (v) the service
provider does not use the property concurrently to provide significant services
to entities unrelated to the service recipient; and (vi) the total contract
price does not substantially exceed the rental value of the property for the
contract period. Since the determination whether a service contract should be
treated as a lease is inherently factual, the present or absence of any single
factor may not be dispositive in every case.
In rendering its opinion that the Company will qualify for taxation as a
REIT, Counsel has concluded that the Percentage Leases should be treated as true
leases for federal income tax purposes. Such conclusion is based, in part, on
the following facts: (i) the Operating Partnership and the Initial Lessee intend
for their
84
<PAGE> 91
relationship to be that of a lessor and lessee and such relationship will be
documented by lease agreements; (ii) the Initial Lessee will have the right to
exclusive possession and use and quiet enjoyment of the Initial Hotels during
the term of the Percentage Leases; (iii) the Initial Lessee will bear the cost
of, and be responsible for, day-to-day maintenance and repair of the Initial
Hotels, other than the cost of maintaining underground utilities and structural
repairs, and will dictate how the Initial Hotels are operated, maintained and
improved; (iv) the Initial Lessee will bear all of the costs and expenses of
operating the Initial Hotels (including the cost of any inventory used in their
operation) during the term of the Percentage Leases (other than real property
taxes, and the cost of replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and
equipment, to the extent such costs do not exceed the allowance of such costs
provided by the Operating Partnership under each Percentage Lease); (v) the
Initial Lessee will benefit from any savings in the costs of operating the
Initial Hotels during the term of the Percentage Leases; (vi) the Initial Lessee
will indemnify the Operating Partnership against all liabilities imposed on the
Operating Partnership during the term of the Percentage Leases by reason of (A)
injury to persons or damage to property occurring at the Initial Hotels or (B)
Initial Lessee's use, management, maintenance or repair of the Initial Hotels;
(vii) the Initial Lessee is obligated to pay substantial fixed rent for the
period of use of the Initial Hotels; and (viii) the Initial Lessee stands to
incur substantial losses (or reap substantial gains) depending on how
successfully it operates the Initial Hotels.
Investors should be aware that there are no controlling Treasury
Regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions involving leases with
terms substantially the same as the Percentage Leases that discuss whether such
leases constitute true leases for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the
foregoing conclusions with respect to the relationship between the Operating
Partnership and the Initial Lessee is based upon all of the facts and
circumstances and upon rulings and judicial decisions involving situations that
are considered to be analogous. There can be no complete assurance that the IRS
will not successfully assert a contrary position. If the Percentage Leases are
recharacterized as service contracts or partnership agreements, rather than true
leases, part or all of the payments that the Operating Partnership receives from
Initial Lessee may not be considered rent or may not otherwise satisfy the
various requirements for qualification as "rents from real property." In that
case, the Company likely would not be able to satisfy either the 75% or 95%
income tests and, as a result, would lose its REIT status. See "-- Requirements
for Qualification as a REIT -- Income Tests."
As noted above, in order for the Rents to qualify as "rents from real
property," the Percentage Rent must not be based in whole or in part on the
income or profits of any person. The Percentage Rent, however, will qualify as
"rents from real property" if it is based on percentages of receipts or sales
and the percentages (i) are fixed at the time the Percentage Leases are entered
into; (ii) are not renegotiated during the term of the Percentage Leases in a
manner that has the effect of basing Percentage Rent on income or profits; and
(iii) conforms with normal business practice. More generally, the Percentage
Rent will not qualify as "rents from real property" if, considering the
Percentage Leases and all the surrounding circumstances, the arrangement does
not conform with normal business practice, but is in reality used as a means of
basing the Percentage Rent on income or profits. Since the Percentage Rent is
based on fixed percentages of the gross revenues from the Initial Hotels that
are established in the Percentage Leases, and the Company has represented that
the percentages (i) will not be renegotiated during the terms of the Percentage
Leases in a manner that has the effect of basing the Percentage Rent on income
or profits; and (ii) conform with normal business practice, the Percentage Rent
should not be considered based in whole or in part on the income or profits of
any person. Furthermore, the Company has represented that, with respect to other
hotel properties that it acquires in the future, it will not charge rent for any
property that is based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any
person (except by reason of being based on a fixed percentage of gross revenues,
as described above).
Another requirement for the Rents to constitute "rents from real property"
is that the Rents attributable to personal property leased in connection with
the lease of the real property comprising an Initial Hotel must not be greater
than 15% of the Rents received under the Percentage Lease. The Rents
attributable to the personal property in an Initial Hotel is the amount that
bears the same ratio to total rent for the taxable year as the average of the
adjusted bases of the personal property in the Initial Hotel at the beginning
and at the end of the taxable year bears to the average of the aggregate
adjusted bases of both the real and personal property comprising the Initial
Hotel at the beginning and at the end of such taxable year (the "Adjusted Basis
85
<PAGE> 92
Ratio"). Furthermore, the Company has represented that rents attributable to
personal property will not exceed 15% of the rents received under the Percentage
Lease.
A third requirement for qualifications of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Company must not own, directly or constructively, 10% or
more of any tenant (the "10% Ownership Limitation"). Under the attribution rules
governing the 10% Ownership Test, the Company is considered to own any shares
owned by the Operating Partnership if partners in the Operating Partnership
collectively own 10% or more (by value) of the Company. The Partnership
Agreement provides that a redeeming Limited Partner will receive cash, rather
than Common Stock, if the acquisition of Common Stock by such Partner would
result in the Company being treated as owning, directly or constructively, 10%
or more of the Initial Lessee or any sublessee. However, notwithstanding such
restriction, because the Code's constructive ownership rules for purposes of the
10% Ownership Limitation are broad and it is not possible to continually monitor
direct and indirect ownership of all Company Shares, it is possible that the
Limited Partners of the Operating Partnership may at some time own, directly or
through attribution, 10% or more of such Shares, which would cause the Company
to fail the gross income requirements and thus lose its REIT status.
A fourth requirement for qualification of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Company cannot furnish or render non-Qualifying Services
other than through an independent contractor from whom the Company itself does
not derive or receive any income. Although the Company does provide certain
management services, the Company has represented and warranted to Baker &
Hostetler that these services are usual and customary management services
provided by landlords in the geographic areas in which the Company owns
property, and that such services are not primarily for the convenience of its
residents. To the extent the provision of services would cause such
disqualification, the Company has represented that it will hire independent
contractors, from which the Company derives no income, to perform such services.
As described above, however, if the Percentage Leases are recharacterized as
service contracts, partnership agreements or some other form of arrangement, the
Rents likely would be disqualified as "rents from real property" because the
Company would be considered to furnish or render non-Qualifying Services to the
occupants of the Initial Hotels other than through an independent contractor
from whom the Company derives or receives no income.
In summary, if the Rents do not qualify as "rents from real property"
because either (i) the Percentage Rent is based on income or profits of the
Initial Lessee; (ii) the Company owns, directly or constructively, 10% or more
of the Lessee or any sublessee; or (iii) the Company furnishes non-Qualifying
Services to the tenants of the Initial Hotels other than through a qualifying
independent contractor (or furnishes Non-Customary Services (whether or not
through an independent contractor) unless separately charged for by the
independent contractor), none of the Rents would qualify as "rents from real
property." In such event, the Company likely would lose its REIT status because
it would be unable to satisfy either the 75% or 95% income tests. See
"-- Requirements for Qualification as a REIT -- Income Tests."
Based on the foregoing, the Rents should qualify as "rents from real
property" for purposes of the 75% and 95% income tests. As described above, the
foregoing conclusions and Counsel's opinion as to the qualification of the
Company to be taxed as a REIT are based upon an analysis of all the facts and
circumstances and upon rulings and judicial decisions involving situations that
are considered to be analogous, as well as representations by the Company and
the Operating Partnership and assumptions that are described above and set out
in Counsel's opinion. Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or a
court. Accordingly, there can not be complete assurance that the IRS will not
assert successfully a contrary position and, therefore, prevent the Company from
qualifying for taxation as a REIT.
The interest accrued on the Intercompany Convertible Note by the Company
will be qualified income for purposes of the 75% test because the Intercompany
Convertible Note is secured by second mortgages on two of the Initial Hotels.
If the sum of the income realized by the Company (whether directly or
through its interest in the Operating Partnership) which does not satisfy the
requirements of the 75% and the 95% gross income tests (collectively,
"Non-Qualifying Income"), exceeds 5% of the company's gross income for any
taxable year, the company's status as a REIT would be jeopardized. The company
has represented that the amount of its Non-Qualifying Income will not exceed 5%
of the Company's annual gross income for any taxable year.
86
<PAGE> 93
It is possible that, from time to time, the Company or the Operating
Partnership will enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of
its assets or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of
forms. If the Company or the Operating Partnership enters into an interest rate
swap or cap contract to hedge any variable rate indebtedness incurred to acquire
or carry real estate assets, any periodic income or gain from the disposition of
such contract should be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income
test, but not for the 75% gross income test. Furthermore, any such contract
would be considered a "security" for purposes of applying the 30% gross income
test. To the extent that the Company or the Operating Partnership hedges with
other types of financial instruments or in other situations, it may not be
entirely clear how the income from those transactions will be treated for
purposes of the various income tests that apply to REITs under the Code. The
Company intends to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not
jeopardize its status as a REIT.
If the Company fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% income tests
for any taxable year, it may still qualify as a REIT in such year if (i) it
attaches a schedule of the source and nature of each item of its gross income to
its federal income tax return for such year; (ii) the inclusion of any incorrect
information in its return was not due to fraud with intent to evade tax; and
(iii) the Company's failure to meet such tests is due to reasonable cause and
not due to willful neglect. It is not possible, however, to state whether in all
circumstances the Company would be entitled to the benefit of these relief
provisions. Even if these relief provisions apply, the Company will still be
subject to a tax imposed with respect to the excess net income. See "-- Taxation
of the Company as a REIT." No such relief is available for violations of the 30%
income test.
Annual Distribution Requirements. The Company, in order to qualify as a
REIT, is required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to
its shareholders in an amount at least equal to (A) the sum of (i) 95% of the
Company's "REIT taxable income" (computed without regard to the dividends paid
deduction and the REITs net capital gain); and (ii) 95% of the net income (after
tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of certain items of
noncash income. In addition, if the Company disposes of any asset during its
Restriction Period, the Company will be required to distribute at least 95% of
the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of such
asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate,
or in the following taxable year if declared before the Company timely files its
tax return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular dividend
payment after such declaration. To the extent that the Company does not
distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes at least 95%, but less
than 100%, of its "REIT taxable income," as adjusted, it will be subject to tax
on the undistributed amount at regular capital gains and ordinary corporate tax
rates. Moreover, if the Company should fail to distribute during each calendar
year at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year; (ii)
95% of its REIT net capital gain income for such year; and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods, the Company would be subject to
a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts
actually distributed.
The Company intends to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the
annual distribution requirements. In this regard, the partnership agreement of
the Operating Partnership authorizes the Company, as general partner, to take
such steps as may be necessary to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute
to its partners an amount sufficient to permit the Company to meet these
distribution requirements. It is possible that the Company, from time to time,
may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the 95% distribution
requirement due primarily to the expenditure of cash for nondeductible expenses
such as principal amortization or capital expenditures. In the event that such
timing differences occur, the Company may find it necessary to cause the
Operating Partnership to arrange for borrowings or liquidate some of its
investments in order to meet the annual distribution requirement. In order to
avoid any problem with the 95% distribution requirement, the Company will
closely monitor the relationship between its REIT taxable income and cash flow
and, if necessary, will borrow funds (or cause the Operating Partnership to
borrow funds) in order to satisfy the distribution requirements.
If the Company fails to satisfy the 95% distribution requirement as a
result of an adjustment to the Company's tax return by the IRS, the Company may
be permitted to remedy such a failure by paying a "deficiency dividend" (plus
applicable interest and penalties) within a specified time.

<PAGE> 94
Failure to Qualify. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT
in any taxable year and the relief provisions do not apply, the Company will be
subject to tax (including any applicable corporate alternative minimum tax) on
its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to shareholders in
any year in which the Company fails to qualify will not be deductible by the
Company, nor will they be required to be made. In such event, to the extent of
current and accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to shareholders
will be taxable to them as ordinary income, and, subject to certain limitations
of the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received
deduction. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, the
Company also will be ineligible for qualification as a REIT for the four taxable
years following the year during which qualification was lost. It is not possible
to state whether in all circumstances the Company would be entitled to such
statutory relief.
TAX ASPECTS OF THE COMPANY'S INVESTMENT IN THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
General. The Company will hold a direct interest in the Operating
Partnership. In general, a partnership is not subject to federal income tax.
Rather, each partner includes in the partner's taxable income or loss its
allocable share of the partnership's items of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit, without regard to whether the partner receives a distribution from the
partnership. The Company will include its proportionate share of the foregoing
items of the Operating Partnership for purposes of the various REIT income tests
and in the computation of its REIT taxable income. See "-- Requirements for
Qualification as a REIT -- Income Tests." Any resultant increase in the
Company's REIT taxable income will increase its distribution requirements (see
"-- Requirements for Qualification as a REIT -- Annual Distribution
Requirements"), but will not be subject to federal income tax in the hands of
the Company provided that such income is distributed by the Company to its
shareholders. Moreover, for purposes of the REIT asset tests (see "--
Requirements for Qualification as a REIT -- Asset Tests"), the Company will
include its proportionate share of assets held by the Operating Partnership.
Entity Classification. The Company's interest in the Operating Partnership
involves special tax considerations, including the possibility of a challenge by
the IRS of the status of the Operating Partnership as a partnership (as opposed
to an association taxable as a corporation) for federal income tax purposes. If
the Operating Partnership was treated as an association, it would be taxable as
a corporation and therefore subject to an entity-level tax on its income. In
such a situation, the character of the Company's assets and items of gross
income would change, which would preclude the Company from satisfying the asset
and income tests (see "-- Requirements for Qualification as a REIT -- Asset
Tests" and "-- Income Tests"), and in turn would prevent the Company from
qualifying as a REIT. See "-- Requirements for Qualification as a REIT --
Failure to Qualify" above for a discussion of the effect of the Company's
failure to meet such tests for a taxable year. The Company does not intend to
request a ruling from the IRS that the Operating Partnership will be treated as
a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Counsel has rendered its opinion,
subject to certain factual assumptions and representations of the Company and
the Operating Partnership, that the Operating Partnership will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as a partnership. Counsel's opinion is not binding
on the IRS or the courts.
Tax Allocations with Respect to the Properties. The Operating Partnership
initially will acquire a tax basis in each of the Initial Hotels equal to the
adjusted tax basis of such asset in the hands of the current ownership entities,
increased by any gain realized by the current ownership entities on the
transfer. For purposes of determining the percentage interests of the
contributing partners, the contributing partners will be credited with having
contributed an amount equal to the agreed value of the contributed assets. The
difference between the agreed value of a contributed asset and its adjusted tax
basis is referred to as the book-tax difference (the "Book-Tax Difference"). It
is expected that the agreed value of most of the Initial Hotels will
substantially exceed their tax basis, so that there will be substantial Book-Tax
Differences at the time of contribution. Pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code,
income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to property contributed by a
partner in exchange for a partnership interest (such as the Initial Hotels),
must be allocated so that the contributing partner is charged with, or benefits
from, respectively, any Book-Tax Difference associated with the property at the
time of the contribution. Such allocations are solely for federal income tax
purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic
arrangements among the
88
<PAGE> 95
partners. The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership will require
such allocations to be made in a manner consistent Section 704(c) of the Code.
In general, the Operating Partnership's Section 704(c) allocations allocate
to the Company the same amounts of depreciation deductions attributable to the
Initial Hotels and other assets and taxable gain or loss upon sale of such
assets as the Company would have received had it purchased its interest in such
assets at their agreed value. To accomplish this, the existing owners will be
allocated lower amounts of depreciation deductions for tax purposes and
increased taxable income (or less loss) on sale by the Operating Partnership of
the Initial Hotels than their allocations of depreciation deductions and income
or gain for book purposes. This will tend to eliminate the Book-Tax Difference
over the life of the Operating Partnership. However, the special allocation
rules of Section 704(c) do not always entirely rectify the Book-Tax Difference
on an annual basis or with respect to a specific taxable transaction such as a
sale. Thus, the carryover basis of the contributed assets in the hands of the
Operating Partnership in some cases may cause the Company to be allocated lower
depreciation and other deductions, and possibly greater amounts of taxable
income in the event of a sale of the Initial Hotels in excess of the economic or
book income allocated to it as a result of such sale. This might adversely
affect the Company's ability to distribute sufficient dividends to comply with
the REIT distribution requirements. See "-- Requirements for Qualification as a
REIT -- Annual Distribution Requirements." The foregoing principles also apply
in determining the earnings and profits of the Company for purposes of
determining the portion of distributions taxable as dividend income. See
"-- Taxation of the Company's Shareholders." The application of these rules over
time may result in a higher portion of distributions being taxed as dividends
than would have occurred had the Company purchased its interest in the Initial
Hotels at their agreed value.
Treasury Regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code allow partnerships to
use any reasonable method of accounting for Book-Tax Differences for
contributions of property so that a contributing partner receives the tax
benefits and burdens of any built-in gain or loss associated with contributed
property. The Operating Partnership currently intends to account for Book-Tax
Differences using the traditional method provided for in the regulations.
With respect to any property purchased by the Operating Partnership
subsequent to the formation of the Company, such property will initially have a
tax basis equal to its purchase price and Section 704(c) of the Code will not
apply.
Basis in Partnership Interest. The Company's adjusted tax basis in its
partnership interest in the Partnership generally (i) will be equal to the
amount of cash and the basis of any other property contributed to the
Partnership by the Company; (ii) will be increased by (A) its allocable share of
the Partnership's income and (B) its allocable share of indebtedness of the
Partnership; and (iii) will be reduced, but not below zero, by the Company's
allocable share of (a) the Partnership's loss and (B) the amount of cash
distributed to the Company and by constructive distributions resulting from a
reduction in the Company's share of indebtedness of the Partnership.
If the allocation of the Company's distributive share of the Partnership's
loss would reduce the adjusted tax basis of the Company's partnership interest
in the Partnership below zero, the recognition of such loss will be deferred
until such time as the recognition of such loss would not reduce the Company's
adjusted tax basis below zero. To the extent that the Partnership's
distributions, or any decrease in the Company's share of the indebtedness of the
Partnership (such decrease being considered a constructive cash distribution to
the partners), would reduce the Company's adjusted tax basis below zero, such
distributions (including such constructive distributions) constitute taxable
income to the Company. Such distributions and constructive distributions
normally will be characterized as capital gain, and, if the Company's
partnership interest in the Partnership has been held for longer than the
long-term capital gain holding period (currently one year), the distributions
and constructive distributions will constitute long-term capital gain.
Depreciation Deductions Available to the Partnership. Immediately after
the Offering, the Company will make a cash contribution to the Partnership in
exchange for an approximately 80.3% general partnership interest in the
Partnership (which interest will increase to 84.1% if the Intercompany
Convertible Note is converted). The Partnership will concurrently acquire all of
the equity interests in the Contributed
89
<PAGE> 96
Partnerships in exchange for approximately $6.9 million in cash and issuance of
Units representing approximately 19.7% of the equity interests in the
Partnership (15.9% if the Intercompany Convertible Note is converted). The
Partnership's initial basis in the Initial Hotels for federal income tax
purposes will be a carryover of the basis of the Contributed Partnerships in the
Initial Hotels on the date of such transactions, increased by any gain
recognized on the transfers to the Partnership. The Partnership plans to
depreciate, for federal income tax purposes, the Initial Hotels and any
depreciable hotel property which it may acquire for cash in the future under
ADS. Under ADS, the Partnership will depreciate such building and improvements
- -- even those acquired with a carryover basis -- over a new 40 year recovery
period using a straight-line method and a mid-month convention. The Partnership
plans to use the modified accelerated cost recovery system of depreciation
("MACRS") for subsequently acquired furnishings and equipment. Under MACRS, the
Partnership generally will depreciate such furnishings and equipment over a
seven-year recovery period using a 200% declining balance method and a half-year
convention. If, however, the Partnership places more than 40% of its furnishings
and equipment in service during the last three months of a taxable year, a mid-
quarter depreciation convention must be used for the furnishings and equipment
placed in service during that year. The Partnership plans to use ADS for the
depreciation of subsequently acquired buildings and improvements. Under ADS, the
Partnership generally will depreciate such buildings and improvements over a
40-year recovery period using a straight line method and a mid-month convention.
Sale of the Properties. Generally, any gain realized by a partnership on
the sale of assets held by the partnership for more than one year will be
long-term capital gain. However, under REIT rules, the Company's share of any
gain realized by the Operating Partnership on the sale of any property held as
inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of a trade or business ("dealer property") will be treated as income from
a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. See "-- Taxation
of the Company as a REIT." Under existing law, whether property is dealer
property is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances
with respect to the particular transaction. A safe harbor to avoid
classification as a prohibited transaction exists as to real estate assets held
for the production of rental income by a REIT for at least four years where in
any taxable year the REIT has made no more than seven sales of property, or, in
the alternative, the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all properties sold does
not exceed 10% of the adjusted bases of all of the REIT's properties during the
year and the expenditures includable in a property's basis made during the
four-year period prior to disposition do not exceed 30% of the property's net
sale price. All inventory required in the operation of the Initial Hotels will
be purchased by the Initial Lessee or its designee as required by the terms of
the Percentage Leases. Accordingly, the Company and the Operating Partnership
believe that no asset owned by the Company or the Operating Partnership is
dealer property of the Company or the Operating Partnership. Nevertheless, the
Company and the Operating Partnership will attempt to comply with the terms of
the safe-harbor provisions of the Code. Complete assurance cannot be given,
however, that the Company or the Operating Partnership can comply with the safe-
harbor provisions of the Code or avoid owning property that may be characterized
as dealer property.
TAXATION OF TAXABLE DOMESTIC SHAREHOLDERS
As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions made to the
Company's taxable shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and
profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends) will be taken into
account by such shareholders as ordinary income. Domestic shareholders generally
are shareholders who are (i) citizens or residents of the United States; (ii)
corporations, partnerships or other entities created in or organized under the
laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or (iii) estates
or trusts the income of which is subject to United States federal income
taxation regardless of its source. Corporate shareholders will not be entitled
to the dividends received deduction. Any dividend declared by the Company in
October, November or December of any year payable to a shareholder of record on
a specific date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by the Company
and received by the shareholder on December 31 of such year, provided that the
dividend is actually paid by the Company during January of the following
calendar year.
Distributions that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed
as long-term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed the Company's
actual net capital gain for the taxable year) without regard to the
90
<PAGE> 97
period for which the shareholder has held its shares. However, corporate
shareholders may be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain
dividends as ordinary income.
Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits
will not be taxable to a shareholder to the extent that they do not exceed the
adjusted basis of the shareholder's Common Shares, but rather will reduce the
adjusted basis of such shares. To the extent that such distributions exceed the
adjusted basis of a shareholder's Common Shares, they will be included in income
as long-term capital gain assuming the shares are a capital asset in the hands
of the shareholder and have been held for more than one year.
Shareholders may not include in their individual income tax returns any net
operating losses or capital losses of the Company. In general, a shareholder
will realize capital gain or loss on the disposition of Common Shares equal to
the difference between (a) the sales price for such shares and (b) the adjusted
tax basis of such shares. Gain or loss realized upon the sale or exchange of
Common Shares by a shareholder who has held such Common Shares for more than one
year (after applying certain holding period rules) will be treated as long-term
gain or loss, respectively, and otherwise will be treated as short-term capital
gain or loss. However, losses incurred upon a sale or exchange of Common Shares
by a shareholder who has held such shares for six months or less (after applying
certain holding period rules) will be deemed a long-term capital loss to the
extent of any capital gain dividends received by the selling shareholder with
respect to such Common Shares.
Distributions from the Company and gain from the disposition of shares will
not be treated as passive activity income. Distributions from the Company (to
the extent they do not constitute a return of capital) will generally be treated
as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitation. Gain
from the disposition of shares and capital gain dividends will not be treated as
investment income unless the taxpayer elects to have the gain taxed at ordinary
income rates.
Backup Withholding. The Company will report to its domestic shareholders
and the IRS the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year, and the
amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect thereto. Under the backup
withholding rules, a shareholder may be subject to backup withholding at the
rate of 31% with respect to dividends paid unless such shareholder (a) is a
corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories and, when required,
demonstrates this fact, or (b) provides a taxpayer identification number,
certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise
complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A
shareholder who does not provide the Company with its correct taxpayer
identification number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any
amount paid as backup withholding will be creditable against the shareholder's
income tax liability. In addition, the Company may be required to withhold a
portion of capital gain distributions made to any shareholders who fail to
certify their nonforeign status to the Company.
TAXATION OF TAX-EXEMPT SHAREHOLDERS
Tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and
profit-sharing trusts, individual retirement accounts and certain funded welfare
plan arrangements ("Exempt Organizations"), generally are exempt from federal
income taxation. However, they are subject to taxation on their unrelated
business taxable income ("UBTI"). While many investments in real estate generate
UBTI, the IRS has issued a published ruling that dividend distributions by a
REIT to an exempt employee pension trust do not constitute UBTI, provided that
the shares of the REIT are not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business
of the exempt employee pension trust. Based on that ruling and on the intention
of the Company to invest its assets in a manner that will avoid the recognition
of UBTI by the Company, amounts distributed by the Company to Exempt
Organizations generally should not constitute UBTI. However, if an Exempt
Organization finances its acquisition of the Common Stock with debt, a portion
of its income from the Company will constitute UBTI pursuant to the
"debt-financed property" rules. Furthermore, social clubs, voluntary employee
benefits associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified
group legal services plans that are exempt from taxation under paragraphs (7),
(9), (17), and (20), respectively, of Code section 501(c) are subject to
different UBTI rules, which generally will require them to characterize
distributions from the Company as UBTI. In addition, for taxable years beginning
on or after January 1, 1994, a pension trust that owns more than 10% of the
Company is required to treat a percentage of the dividends from the Company as
UBTI (the "UBTI Percentage") in certain circumstances. The UBTI Percentage is
the gross income derived
91
<PAGE> 98
from an unrelated trade or business (determined as if the Company were a pension
trust) divided by the gross income of the Company for the year in which the
dividends are paid. The UBTI rule applies only if (i) the UBTI Percentage is at
least 5%; (ii) the Company qualifies as a REIT by reason of the modification of
the 5/50 Rule that allows the beneficiaries of the pension trust to be treated
as holding shares of the Company in proportion to their actuarial interests in
the pension trust; and (iii) either (A) one pension trust owns more than 25% of
the value of the Company's stock or (B) a group of pension trusts individually
holding more than 10% of the value of the Company's stock collectively own more
than 50% of the value of the Company's stock.
While an investment in the Company by an Exempt Organization generally is
not expected to result in UBTI except in the circumstances described in the
preceding paragraph, any gross UBTI that does arise from such an investment will
be combined with all other gross UBTI of the Exempt Organization for a taxable
year and reduced by all deductions attributable to the UBTI plus $1,000. Any
amount then remaining will constitute UBTI on which the Exempt Organization will
be subject to tax. If the gross income taken into account in computing UBTI
exceeds $1,000, the Exempt Organization is obligated to file a tax return for
such year on an IRS Form 990-T. Neither the Company, its Board of Directors, nor
any of its Affiliates expects to undertake the preparation or filing of IRS Form
990-T for any Exempt Organization in connection with an investment by such
Exempt Organization in the Common Stock. Generally, IRS Form 990-T must be filed
with the IRS by April 15 of the year following the year to which it relates.
TAXATION OF FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
The rules governing United States federal income taxation of nonresident
alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and other foreign
shareholders (collectively, "Non-U.S. Shareholders") are complex, and no attempt
will be made herein to provide more than a summary of such rules. PROSPECTIVE
NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE
THE IMPACT OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAX LAWS WITH REGARD TO AN
INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING ANY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
It is currently anticipated that the Company will qualify as a
"domestically controlled REIT" (i.e., a REIT in which at all times during a
specified testing period less than 50% of the value of the shares is owned
directly or indirectly by Non-U.S. Shareholders) and therefore gain from the
sale of Common Shares by a Non-U.S. Shareholder would not be subject to United
States taxation unless such gain is treated as "effectively connected" with the
Non-U.S. Shareholder's United States trade or business.
Distributions that are not attributable to gain from the sale or exchange
by the Company of United States real property interests (and are not designated
as capital gain dividends) will be treated as dividends of ordinary income to
the extent that they are made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits
of the Company. Such distributions generally will be subject to a United States
withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution, subject to
reduction or elimination under an applicable tax treaty. However, if dividends
from the investment in the shares are treated as "effectively connected" with
the Non-U.S. Shareholder's conduct of a United States trade or business, such
dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income taxation (foreign corporations
may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax). The Company expects to
withhold United States income tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any
such dividends made to a Non-U.S. Shareholder unless: (i) a lower treaty rate
applies and the Non-U.S. Shareholder files certain information evidencing its
entitlement to such lower treaty rate; or (ii) the Non-U.S. Shareholder files an
IRS Form 4224 with the Company claiming that the distribution is "effectively
connected" income. Distributions which exceed current and accumulated earnings
and profits of the Company will not be taxable to the extent that they do not
exceed the adjusted basis of a shareholder's shares but, rather, will reduce
(but not below zero) the adjusted basis of such shares. To the extent that such
distributions exceed the adjusted basis of a Non-U.S. Shareholder's shares, they
generally will give rise to United States tax liability if the Non-U.S.
Shareholder would otherwise be subject to tax on gain from the sale or
disposition of his or her shares in the Company, as described above. If it
cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made whether or not such
distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits,
the distributions will be subject to withholding at the same rate as dividends.
However, amounts thus withheld are refundable if it is
92
<PAGE> 99
subsequently determined that such distribution was, in fact, in excess of
current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company.
Distributions by the Company to a Non-U.S. Shareholder that are
attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by the Company of a United States
real property interest are subject to income and withholding tax under the
provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980
("FIRPTA"). Under FIRPTA, these distributions, if any, that are treated as gain
recognized from the sale of a United States real property interest, are taxed as
income "effectively connected" with a United States business. Non-U.S.
Shareholders would thus be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to
U.S. shareholders (subject to the applicable alternative minimum tax and a
special alternative minimum tax for nonresident alien individuals). Also,
distributions subject to FIRPTA may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax in
the hands of a foreign corporate shareholder not entitled to treaty exemption.
The Company is required by applicable Treasury Regulations to withhold 35% of
any distribution that could be designated by the Company as a capital gains
dividend. This amount is creditable against the Non-U.S. Shareholder's FIRPTA
tax liability. A refund may be available if the amount exceeds the Non-U.S.
Shareholder's federal tax liability.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
State and Local Taxes. The company or its shareholders or both may be
subject to state, local or other taxation in various state, local or other
jurisdictions, including those in which they transact business or reside. The
tax treatment in such jurisdictions may differ from federal income tax
consequences discussed above. Consequently, prospective shareholders should
consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state, local and
other tax laws on an investment in the Common Shares of the Company.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
A fiduciary of a pension, profit sharing, retirement, welfare or other
employee benefit plan ("Plan") subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), should consider the fiduciary
standards under ERISA in the context of the Plan's particular circumstances
before authorizing an investment of a portion of the Plan's assets in the Common
Shares. Accordingly, any such fiduciary should consider (i) whether the
investment satisfies the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of
ERISA; (ii) whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and
instruments governing the Plan as required by Section 404(a)(1)(D) of ERISA; and
(iii) whether the investment is prudent under ERISA. In addition to the
imposition of general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and
diversification, ERISA, and the corresponding provisions of the Code, prohibit a
wide range of transactions involving the assets of the Plan and persons who have
certain specified relationships to the Plan ("parties in interest" within the
meaning of ERISA, "disqualified persons" within the meaning of the Code). Thus,
a Plan fiduciary considering an investment in the Common Shares also should
consider whether the acquisition or the continued holding of the Common Shares
might constitute or give rise to a direct or indirect prohibited transaction.
The Department of Labor (the "DOL") has issued final regulations (the
"Regulations") as to what constitutes assets of an employee benefit plan under
ERISA. Under the Regulations, if a Plan acquires an equity interest in an
entity, which interest is neither a "publicly offered security" nor a security
issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, the Plan's assets would include, for purposes of the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA, both the equity interest and an undivided
interest in each of the entity's underlying assets unless certain specified
exceptions apply. The Regulations define a publicly offered security as a
security that is "widely held," "freely transferable," and either part of a
class of securities registered under the Exchange Act, or sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act (provided the
securities are registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days after the end
of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the public offering occurred). The
Common Shares are being sold in an offering registered under the Securities Act
and will be registered under the Exchange Act.
The DOL Regulations provide that a security is "widely held" only if it is
part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors independent
of the issuer and of one another. A security will not fail to be
93
<PAGE> 100
"widely held" because the number of independent investors falls below 100
subsequent to the initial public offering as a result of events beyond the
issuer's control. The Company expects the Common Shares to be "widely held" on
completion of the Offering.
The DOL Regulations provide that whether a security is "freely
transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all
relevant facts and circumstances. The DOL Regulations further provide that when
a security is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or
less, as is the case with the Offering, certain restrictions ordinarily will
not, alone or in combination, affect the finding that those securities are
"freely transferable." The Company believes that the restrictions imposed under
its Articles of Incorporation on the transfer of the Common Shares are limited
to the restrictions on transfer generally permitted under the DOL Regulations
and are not likely to result in the failure of the Common Shares to be "freely
transferable." The Company also believes that certain restrictions that apply to
the Common Shares to be held by the Company, or derived from contractual
arrangements requested by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, are
unlikely to result in the failure of the Common Shares to be "freely
transferable." See "Shares Available for Future Sale" and "Underwriting." The
DOL Regulations only establish a presumption in favor of the finding of free
transferability, and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the DOL and the
U.S. Treasury Department will not reach a contrary conclusion.
Assuming that the Common Shares will be "widely held" and are "freely
transferable," the Company believes that the Common Shares will be publicly
offered securities for purposes of the Regulations and that the assets of the
Company will not be deemed to be "plan assets" of any Plan that invests in the
Common Shares.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the
Underwriters to purchase Common Shares are subject to certain other conditions
and that if any of the Common Shares are purchased by the Underwriters pursuant
to the Underwriting Agreement, all Common Shares agreed to be purchased by the
Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement must be so purchased.
The Company has been advised that the Underwriters propose to offer the
Common Shares directly to the public initially at the public offering price set
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain selected dealers (who
may include the Underwriters) at such public offering price less a selling
concession not in excess of $ per share. The Underwriters may allow,
and the selected dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $
per share to certain other brokers and dealers. After the initial public
offering of the Common Shares, the concession to selected dealers and the
reallowances to other dealers may be changed by the Underwriters.
The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an
additional Common Shares at the public offering price less the
aggregate underwriting discounts and commissions shown on the cover page of this
Prospectus solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The option may be exercised
at any time up to 30 days after the date of this Prospectus. To the extent that
the Underwriters exercise such option, the Underwriters will be committed
(subject to certain conditions) to purchase a number of option shares
proportionate to such Underwriter's initial commitment.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to
payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
The Company has applied to list the Common Shares for quotation on the New
York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BOY." In order to meet one of the
requirements for the listing of the Common Shares, the Underwriters have
undertaken to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 2,000 beneficial
holders for a minimum of 1.1 million publicly-held shares and for an aggregate
market value of at least $40 million.
The Underwriters have informed the Company that they do not intend to
confirm sales to any account over which they exercise discretionary authority.
The Company has agreed not to offer, sell or contract to sell, or otherwise
dispose of, or announce the offering of, any Common Shares, or any securities
convertible into, or exchangeable for, Common Shares, except the Common Shares
offered hereby, for a period of 180 days from and after the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc.

<PAGE> 102
From time to time, certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates may
provide investment banking services to the Company. The Company will pay an
advisory fee equal to .5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (including any
exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option) to Lehman Brothers Inc. for
advisory services in connection with the evaluation, analysis and structuring of
the Company's formation and the Offering. In connection with the Offering, an
affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc. will be repaid mortgage loans in the principal
amount of $66.25 million made by it to certain Boykin Group Affiliates, and has
delivered a commitment to make the Credit Facility available to the Company. The
interest payable with respect to the mortgage loan repayment is less than it
would be if the repayment had not been made in connection with the Offering. See
"Use of Proceeds" and "The Company -- Business Objectives and
Strategies -- Financing Strategy."
Prior to this Offering there has been no public market for the Common
Shares. The initial public offering price for the Common Shares offered hereby
will be determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters and
will be based on, among other things, the Initial Hotels' financial and
operating history and condition, the prospectus of the Company and its industry
in general, the management of the Company and the market prices of securities of
companies engaged in businesses similar to those of the Company.

(A) Represents lease payments from the Initial Lessee to the Partnership
calculated on a pro forma basis by applying the rent provisions of the
Percentage Leases to the pro forma revenues of the Initial Hotels, as well
as an additional $725 of Percentage Lease payments required for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and the 12 months ended March 31, 1996 pursuant to
the rental interruption insurance provisions of the Percentage Lease
agreements. The rent formula utilized in computing the pro forma Percentage
Lease revenues includes for the calendar year 1995 an adjustment to reduce
the threshold revenue amounts in the Percentage Lease formulas by the 2.5%
increase in the Consumer Price Index for that year. See "The Initial
Lessee -- The Percentage Leases" for the Percentage Lease formulas.
(B) Represents depreciation of the Initial Hotel properties. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method and is based upon the estimated
useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements and 7 years for
furniture and equipment. These estimated useful lives are based on
management's knowledge of the properties and the hotel industry in general.
(C) Represents real estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty
insurance, and ground rent expense to be paid by the Partnership. Such
amounts were derived from historical amounts paid by the Initial Hotels.
Historical real estate tax expense has been increased on a pro forma basis
by $200 per annum due to estimated reassessments of the property values of
the Initial Hotels.
(D) Estimated at $1,400 annually for salaries, director fees, legal, audit,
director/officer insurance and other expenses associated with being a public
company.
(E) Calculated at 15.9% of the income of the Partnership.

BOYKIN LODGING TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
AS OF MARCH 31, 1996
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF BALANCE SHEET PRESENTATION:
Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated February 8, 1996
to acquire equity interests in existing hotel properties and to selectively
consider the development of new hotels. The Company expects to qualify as a real
estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. The Company intends to
offer for sale 7,875,000 shares of common stock in an initial public offering
(the Offering). The Company has had no operations during the period from
inception through March 31, 1996.
Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will contribute substantially
all of the net proceeds of the Offering to Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., a
limited partnership (the Partnership) in exchange for an equity interest in the
Partnership and will provide a $40 million Intercompany Convertible Note (the
Note) to the Partnership. Assuming conversion of the Note, the Company will have
an 84.1% equity interest in the Partnership. The Company will be the sole
general partner of the Partnership. The Note will be secured by mortgages on
certain of the Initial Hotels, defined below. The Partnership will use a
substantial portion of the proceeds from the Company and will issue limited
partnership interests representing approximately 15.9% (after conversion of the
Note) of the Partnership to acquire nine hotel properties (the Initial Hotels)
from various entities, to finance certain capital improvements, and for general
working capital purposes. The Partnership will lease the Initial Hotels to
Boykin Management Company, Ltd. (the Initial Lessee) pursuant to leases which
contain provisions for rent based on the revenues of the Initial Hotels (the
Percentage Leases). Each Percentage Lease obligates the Initial Lessee to pay
rent equal to the greater of the minimum rent or a percentage rent based on the
gross revenues of each Initial Hotel. The Initial Lessee will hold the franchise
agreement for each Initial Hotel.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the limited partners of the
Partnership will receive Exchange Rights, which will enable them to cause the
Company to pay cash for their interests in the Partnership, or at the Company's
election, to exchange common shares for such interests. The Exchange Rights may
be exercised in whole or in part. The number of Common Shares initially issuable
to the limited partners upon exercise of the Exchange Rights is 1,490,000. The
number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Rights will be adjusted
upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro rata
share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the
ownership interests of the limited partners or the shareholders of the Company.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Distributions
The Company intends to make regular quarterly distribution which are
dependent upon receipt of distributions from the Partnership.
3. DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK:
Common Shares
Holders of the Company's Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends,
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of funds
legally available therefor. The holders of Common Shares, upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Company, are entitled to share ratably in any
assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities of the Company and all
preferences of the holders of any outstanding preferred shares. The Common
Shares possess ordinary voting rights, each share entitling the holder thereof
to one vote. Holders of Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in
the election of directors and do not have preemptive rights.
F-13
<PAGE> 119
BOYKIN LODGING TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET -- (CONTINUED)
AS OF MARCH 31, 1996
Preferred Shares
The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of two
classes of preferred shares (collectively, the Preferred Shares), each in one or
more series, to establish the number of shares in each series and to fix the
designation, powers, preferences and rights (other than voting rights) of each
series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon. An aggregate
of five million Preferred Shares are authorized. Because the Board of Directors
has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each series of
Preferred Shares, the Board of Directors may afford the holders of any series of
Preferred Shares preferences, powers and rights senior to the rights of holders
of Common Shares. The issuance of Preferred Shares could have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The Company has no
present intention to issue Preferred Shares.
4. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:
Long-Term Incentive Plan
Grants of incentive or nonqualified share options, restricted shares,
deferred shares, share purchase rights and share appreciation rights in tandem
with options, or any combination thereof, may be made under the plan. Eligible
employees of the Company may participate in the long-term incentive plan.
Members of the Compensation Committee are not eligible to participate in the
long-term incentive plan. The Company has reserved 1,000,000 Common Shares for
issuance under the plan. Upon the Closing, Robert W. Boykin, Raymond P. Heitland
and Mark L. Bishop will be granted options to purchase 250,000, 75,000 and
75,000 shares, respectively, under the long-term incentive plan.
The long-term incentive plan provides for vesting, exercise or forfeiture
of rights granted under the long-term incentive plan on retirement, death,
disability, termination of employment or a change of control. The Board of
Directors may modify, suspend or terminate the long-term incentive plan as long
as it does not impair the rights thereunder of any participant. Under applicable
law, the holders of Common Shares must approve any increase in the maximum
number of shares reserved for issuance under the long-term incentive plan, any
change in the classes of employees eligible to participate in the long-term
incentive plan and any material increase in the benefits accruing to
participants.
Compensation of Directors
Each independent director will receive an option for 5,000 Common Shares
exercisable at the initial public offering price of the Common Shares. These
options will vest fully within the first two years of issuance and will have a
term of ten years.
Employment Contracts
The Company will enter into an employment contract with Robert W. Boykin,
the Company's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, at
an initial annual base compensation of $250,000. The employment contract with
Mr. Boykin provides for an initial three year term that is automatically
extended for an additional year at the end of each year of the agreement,
subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement by giving two
years' prior notice. In addition, the Company will enter into employment
contracts with two other executive officers at an aggregate annual base
compensation of $290,000. These contracts provide for an initial one year term
that is automatically extended for an additional year at the end of each year of
the agreement, subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement
by giving six months' prior notice.
In addition, each employment contract provides for the payment of a bonus
based upon specified percentages of annual base salary in the event that
specified operating results are achieved.

INITIAL LESSEE
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
The Initial Lessee's unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, the twelve months ended March
31, 1996, and the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, are presented as if the consummation of the Formation Transactions
had occurred as of January 1, 1995 and carried forward through each period
presented. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations
for the twelve months ended March 31,1996 is presented in conjunction with the
analysis of the expected initial distributions as set forth under the caption
"Distribution Policy." Such pro forma information is based upon the combined
statements of operations of the Initial Hotels and the combined statements of
revenues and expenses of Boykin Management Company, Purchasing Concepts, Inc.
and Bopa Design Company. It should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements listed in the Index to Financial Statements at page F-1 of this
Prospectus. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of the Formation Transactions have been made. The Initial Lessee will be
structured as a pass through entity for income tax purposes and, accordingly, no
provision for income taxes has been provided.
These unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations are
not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the
Initial Lessee would have been assuming that the Formation Transactions had been
completed as of the beginning of the periods presented, nor do they purport to
represent the results of operations for future periods. Further, the unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the interim periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations for the full year.

INITIAL LESSEE
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
(UNAUDITED, DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
(A) Derived from the historical combined financial statements of the Initial
Hotels for the period presented.
(B) Conforms the operating results of the Initial Hotel having a September 30
fiscal year-end to a December 31, 1995 year-end.
(C) For the year ended December 31, 1995, includes the operating results of
Boykin Management Company (BMC) for the year ended March 31, 1996 and the
operating results of Purchasing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) and Bopa Design Company
(Spectrum Services) for the year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of
management, the effect of nonconforming period ends is not material. For the
twelve months ended March 31, 1996, and the three month periods ended March
31, 1995 and 1996, the period ends of BMC, PCI and Bopa have been combined
using the same months and periods.
(D) From August 1993 until February 1996, the catering, meeting, lounge and
restaurant facilities of the Lake Norman Holiday Inn were operated by a
third-party operator. In February 1996, when a Boykin Affiliate purchased
the hotel facility, it also purchased the food and beverage business assets
of this operator. This adjustment represents the approximate food and
beverage revenues of this operator for the period indicated, based upon
actual historical revenue information obtained by the Company.
(E) Reflects the elimination of management fees charged to the Initial Hotels by
BMC and the elimination of intercompany sales from PCI and Spectrum Services
to the Initial Hotels.
(F) Reflects the elimination of operating costs which are not expected to be
incurred by the Initial Lessee.
(G) Reflects operating costs associated with the food and beverage operations
discussed in (D).
(H) Reflects the cost of sales related to the Spectrum Services revenues
eliminated in (E).
(I) Decrease reflects (i) the elimination of expenses related to the PCI
revenues eliminated in (E), and (ii) the elimination of estimated general
and administrative expenses of BMC ($625 per annum) which will be incurred
by the Partnership. The expenses to be incurred by the Partnership primarily
relate to administrative salaries.
(J) Reflects the elimination of management fee expense related to the management
fee revenues eliminated in (E).
(K) Reflects the impact of contractual franchise royalty fee rate increases at
certain of the Initial Hotels in August 1995 and January 1996 as though such
increases occurred on January 1, 1995.
(L) Reflects the elimination of real estate and personal property taxes,
property and casualty insurance, and ground rent expenses to be paid by the
Partnership.
(M) Reflects the elimination of (i) mortgage interest expense of the Initial
Hotels due to the expected repayment of such debt with a portion of the
proceeds from the Offering, and (ii) interest expense on note payable
obligations of BMC which are expected to be retired in connection with the
formation and capitalization of the Initial Lessee.
(N) Reflects the elimination of depreciation expense related to the investments
in hotel properties of the Initial Hotels which are to be acquired by the
Partnership.
(O) Reflects the elimination of (i) interest income ($267 per annum) earned by
BMC on certain advances to an affiliate as such advances will be repaid in
connection with the Formation Transactions, and (ii) the elimination of
miscellaneous items of nonoperating income and expense which will not be
earned or incurred by the Initial Lessee.

(P) Represents lease payments calculated on a pro forma basis by applying the
rent provisions of the Percentage Leases to the pro forma room, food and
beverage and other revenues of the Initial Hotels as well as an additional
$725 of Percentage Lease payments required pursuant to the rental
interruption insurance provisions of the Percentage Lease agreements for the
year ended December 31, 1995 and the 12 months ended March 31, 1996. The
rent formula utilized in computing the pro forma Percentage Lease expense
includes for the calendar year 1995 an adjustment to reduce the threshold
revenue amounts in the Percentage Lease formulas by the 2.5% increase in the
Consumer Price Index for that year. See "Business and Properties" for the
Percentage Lease formulas.

INITIAL LESSEE
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET
AS OF MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED, DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is presented as if
the consummation of the Formation Transactions (as they relate to the formation
of the Initial Lessee) had occurred on March 31, 1996. Such pro forma
information is based in part upon the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet of the Company, the combined balance sheets of the Initial Hotels, and the
combined statement of net assets of Boykin Management Company, Purchasing
Concepts, Inc., and Bopa Design Company, all as of March 31, 1996. It should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements listed in the Index to
Financial Statements at page F-1 of this Prospectus. In management's opinion,
all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the Formation Transactions
have been made.
This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position would have been
assuming the Formation Transactions had been completed as of March 31, 1996, nor
does it purport to represent the future financial position of the Initial
Lessee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Initial
Hotels, excluding the Lake Norman Hotels, as defined in Note 1 to the combined
financial statements, as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related combined
statements of operations, partners' deficit and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These combined 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial position of the Initial Hotels,
excluding Lake Norman Hotels, as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the combined
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index of
financial statements and included on page F-39 of this Prospectus is the
responsibility of the Company's management and is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. The schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

Boykin Management Company (BMC) was involved in the development of each of

Norman Hotels since their respective inceptions. The hotels are owned by
partnerships (Boykin Partnerships) in which the shareholders of The Boykin
Company (TBC), BMC's parent company, and certain officers and employees of BMC
(collectively, BMC Affiliates) have significant direct and indirect ownership
interests.
As of December 31, 1995, the Boykin Partnerships are owned as follows:

The Lake Norman Hotels consist of a Hampton Inn and a Holiday Inn, both
located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Lake Norman Hotels, together with the
hotels owned by the Boykin Partnerships, are the Initial Hotels.
Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc. is a recently organized Ohio corporation which
has been established to acquire equity interests in existing hotel properties
and to consider selectively the development of new hotels. Boykin Lodging Trust,
Inc. will use the proceeds from a proposed initial public offering to acquire
the general partnership interest, representing an 84.1% equity interest, in
Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership (the Partnership). It
is proposed that the partners and shareholders of the entities owning the
Initial Hotels will contribute their respective partnership interests to the
Partnership in exchange for cash and partnership interests. The Partnership will
use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the general partnership interest
to Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc. to retire mortgage indebtedness encumbering the
Initial

Hotel properties. All of the Initial Hotels will be leased to Boykin Management
Company, Ltd. (the Initial Lessee) pursuant to operating leases which contain
provisions for rent based on the revenues of the Initial Hotels. The Initial
Lessee is an affiliate of BMC.
Management believes that these combined financial statements result in a
more meaningful presentation of the Initial Hotel businesses excluding the Lake
Norman Hotels to be acquired by the Partnership and thus appropriately reflect
the historical financial position and results of operations of the predecessor
of the Initial Lessee. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated. The Lake Norman Hotels have been excluded from the
accompanying combined financial statements as they were not owned or managed by
BMC Affiliates until February 8, 1996.
Interim Unaudited Financial Information
The combined financial statements as of and for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
for a fair representation of the combined financial statements for these interim
periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Accounting Periods
For annual reporting purposes, all of the Boykin Partnerships except POP
have been included in the accompanying combined financial statements based on a
December 31 year-end. The accompanying combined financial statements as of
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 include the accounts of POP as of September 30,
1993, 1994 and 1995.
In order to show comparable operations during the interim periods ended
March 31, 1995 and 1996, POP's operating results were adjusted to exclude the
three month periods October 1 to December 31, 1994 and 1995. The total revenues
of POP excluded from the combined statements of operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 were $2,950 and $3,328, respectively, and
total net income (loss) excluded was $25 and $(69), respectively.
In the opinion of management, the effect of nonconforming period ends is
not material to the combined financial statements.
Hotel Properties
Hotel properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
primarily the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful
lives:
Buildings and improvements 7-40 years
Furniture and equipment 3-20 years
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Boykin Partnerships adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Accordingly, the partners and management of the Boykin Partnerships review
the hotel properties for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying amounts of the hotel properties may not be recoverable.
When such conditions exist, management estimates the future cash flows from
operations and disposition of the hotel properties. If the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property's
estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss would be
recognized. No such impairment losses were recognized in connection with the
adoption of SFAS No. 121.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and the gain or loss is included in the determination of net income or
loss.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three
months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories consisting primarily of food and beverages and gift store
merchandise are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.
Cash Held in Escrow
Cash held in escrow consists of amounts for real estate taxes remitted to
the lenders which hold the mortgages on the hotel facilities and amounts
deposited for the replacement of hotel real and personal property pursuant to
the terms of certain mortgage and franchise agreements.
Deferred Expenses
Deferred expenses consist of initial franchise fees and deferred loan
costs. Amortization of initial franchise fees is computed on a straightline
basis over the terms of the franchise agreements while deferred loan costs are
amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements. The amortization of
deferred loan costs of $66, $66, $519, $10 and $223 for the years ended December
31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
1996, respectively, is included in interest expense in the accompanying combined
statements of operations. Accumulated amortization of deferred expenses was $620
and $1,002 at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $844 at March 31,
1996.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of
accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses have
been within management's expectations.
Income Taxes
The Boykin Partnerships are not subject to federal or state income taxes;
however, they must file informational income tax returns and the partners must
take income or loss of the Boykin Partnerships into consideration when filing
their respective tax returns.
Management's Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
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.

(a) The interest rate floats as follows:
Until June 1, 1997, 4.25% over 30 day LIBOR
From then until June 1, 1998, 4.50% over 30 day LIBOR
Thereafter (if applicable) 5.00% over 30 day LIBOR
In addition, a service fee of .06% of the outstanding balance is required.
At December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the interest rate was approximately
10%.
Under certain conditions, the Borrowers can elect an interest deferral
option whereby monthly payments of interest would be based on an interest
rate not to exceed 10%. However, the excess of interest based on the normal
interest rate over the deferral rate would be added to the principal
balance.
Semiannual principal payments are required equal to 50% of "cash flow," as
defined. The percentage increases to 100% after June 1, 1998 or if the
interest deferral option is elected. Such payments are to be applied first
to accrued and unpaid interest on deferred interest, next to deferred
interest, with the remainder to be applied to the outstanding principal
balance.
If certain conditions are met, the Borrowers can extend the initial maturity
date by a maximum of twelve months. To extend the maturity date, the
Borrowers must pay a fee equal to 1% of the then outstanding principal
balance.
In general, the notes are nonrecourse. However, in certain limited defined
circumstances, the lender would have recourse to the Borrowers and certain
BMC Affiliates.
The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants with respect to, among
other things, property maintenance and insurance, payment of taxes, property
transfers and maintenance of specified debt service coverage ratios. The
Borrowers were in compliance with the loan covenants at December 31, 1995
and March 31, 1996. Monthly escrow deposits are also required to be made to
fund repayments of furniture and fixtures reserves and property taxes.
The payment of "additional interest" is required upon maturity or repayment
in full of the notes. Such amount to be paid is equal to the product of
$66,250 multiplied by (i) 4.75% until June 1, 1996;
F-33
<PAGE> 139
INITIAL HOTELS
EXCLUDING LAKE NORMAN HOTELS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
(ii) 5.25% until June 1, 1997, (iii) 6% thereafter. Under certain
conditions, the rate at which such additional interest is to be calculated
can be reduced. Management estimates that the additional interest to be paid
will be computed at 3% if the proposed initial public offering discussed in
Note 1 is completed. The "additional interest" is being charged to interest
expense utilizing the effective interest rate method over the contractual
term of the notes. Such amount was $583 for the year ended December 31, 1995
and $380 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996.
(b) Commencing April 1996, the note will require the payment of additional
interest based on annual net cash flow (Net Cash Flow Interest), as defined.
The effect of Net Cash Flow Interest is to increase the effective interest
rate on the obligation to 11% per annum. For the year ended December 31,
1995 and the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, $308, $77
and $69, respectively, have been provided for the payment of Net Cash Flow
Interest. Upon the occurrence of a casualty, a taking, a transfer or
maturity, all as defined, additional interest based on the property's
appreciation in value will also be payable. In the event of prepayment, CHJV
must pay an amount which brings the lender's yield for the period from
origination to prepayment date to 12.75%, compounded monthly, inclusive of
Fixed Interest and Net Cash Flow Interest.
The mortgage agreement contains covenants which, among other restrictions,
limit CHJV's capacity to incur additional debt or sell assets; limit the
ability of partners of CHJV to sell or transfer their respective ownership
interests; require the property to be managed by BMC; and require CHJV to
make annual deposits into an escrow account for the replacement of
furnishings. As of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, CHJV was in
compliance with such covenants.
(c) On January 29, 1996, the BHJV and Beachwood mortgage notes payable were
refinanced with the proceeds of new mortgage notes from the same lender. The
new notes carry an interest rate of 8.69% and have a five-year term. Monthly
payments of principal and interest of $116 and $251 are required for the new
BHJV and Beachwood mortgage notes payable, respectively, with the remaining
unpaid principal amounts due at maturity.
Additionally, the payment of the prepayment penalty on the previous BHJV
mortgage note was financed by the proceeds of a second mortgage note in the
amount of $1,246. The second note carries interest at the rate of 8.54% and
fully amortizes over five years with monthly payments of principal and
interest of $26.
The notes require monthly deposits for taxes and furniture and fixtures
replacement. The prepayment penalty for the notes is calculated based upon
yield maintenance formulas.
The new BHJV and Beachwood mortgage notes contain cross collateralization
and cross default provisions.
(d) These mortgage notes payable were refinanced in May 1995. See (a) for
discussion of the terms of the new mortgage notes.
Aggregate scheduled annual principal payments for the above mortgage notes
payable (reflecting the terms of the BHJV and Beachwood subsequent refinancings
discussed above, but excluding the BHJV second mortgage note) including the
"additional interest" discussed in (a) at December 31, 1995 are as follows:

All of the outstanding debt is expected to be repaid from the proceeds of
the proposed initial public offering discussed in Note 1.
Debt Extinguishment
In May 1995, FMHP, MOHA, POP and BMLP refinanced their respective existing
mortgage indebtedness, realizing a net extraordinary gain of $556 on the early
extinguishment of debt. The net extraordinary gain was related to the
forgiveness of $2,335 of principal due on the FMHP mortgage reduced by the
payment of prepayment premiums and the writeoff of unamortized deferred
financing costs on the POP and BMLP mortgages. In addition to retiring existing
indebtedness, the refinancing proceeds were used to redeem partnership interests
held by non-BMC Affiliate partners of BMLP, MOHA and POP (Note 7).
The refinancing and concurrent payment of a prepayment penalty on the BHJV
note resulted in an extraordinary loss due to the early extinguishment of debt
in the amount of $1,315 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996.
4. UNUSUAL ITEM -- PROPERTY DAMAGE FROM HURRICANE:
On August 2, 1995, certain hotel property of MOHA was damaged by
wind-driven rain associated with hurricane Erin. The damage led to the temporary
closure of the hotel until restoration of the damaged property took place. The
temporary closure reduced the available room nights for the year ended December
31, 1995 by 20,430 rooms, or 27% of the otherwise available room nights.
Management estimates that the temporary closure resulted in $1,261 in lost
revenue, and $1,093 in lost net income.
MOHA has made a business interruption insurance claim for reimbursement of
the lost net income. Included in the combined statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1995 is $1,093 of income related to this claim. This
income has been offset against departmental expenses and various other expense
categories in the aggregate amounts of $178 and $441, respectively.
In addition, MOHA has made a property insurance claim for the damage to
hotel property. The difference between the proceeds to be received from this
claim and the net book value of the damaged property is reflected in the
combined statement of operations as an unusual gain on property insurance
recovery. The costs of replacing and renovating the damaged property have been
capitalized as additions to hotel property in the accompanying combined balance
sheet.
MOHA has a $913 insurance claim receivable at December 31, 1995 ($663 at
March 31, 1996). The receivable at December 31, 1995 is comprised of $320 for
property damage and $593 for business interruption. MOHA has submitted its
claims to its insurance carrier, and believes that the claims are in accordance
with the terms of the related insurance policies.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
A substantial portion of the hotels' management and accounting functions
are performed by BMC, for a fee computed as specified in each hotel's management
agreement. The base management fee is based on percentages of hotel revenues of
3% or 3.5%. In addition, if specified operating results are achieved, an
incentive fee is due to BMC. The management agreements with BMC expire at
various dates through September 30, 2010.
Certain other costs relating to purchasing and design services are incurred
by an affiliate of BMC and billed to the hotels. Such purchases approximated
$133, $148, $143, $21 and $25 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and
1995 and the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Furthermore, the hotels made purchases of hotel furnishings through an affiliate
of BMC. These
F-35
<PAGE> 141
INITIAL HOTELS
EXCLUDING LAKE NORMAN HOTELS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
purchases amounted to approximately $1,701, $1,823, $2,531, $361 and $150 for
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995 and the three-month periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Receivables from and payables to affiliates represent amounts due from or
to BMC and its affiliates applicable to insurance charges and various other
items. Included in accounts payable to affiliates at December 31, 1994 is $171
due from FMHP to BMC for loan guarantee fees related to the FMHP mortgage which
was refinanced in May 1995. The fees due were paid in 1995.
Until October 1994, the hotels maintained a "fully insured program under a
Minimum Premium Contract" for various insurance benefits offered to enrolled
employees under an insurance plan which included other entities affiliated with
BMC. The hotels provided a pro-rata share of expense required by the plan which
was based upon enrolled employees at each hotel. The total amount of such shared
expenses billed to the hotels approximated $1,617 and $1,176 for 1993 and 1994,
respectively. In October 1994, the plan was terminated and replaced with a
fully-insured plan which requires the payment of monthly premiums.
6. ADVANCES FROM PARTNERS:

(a) Repayment of the loans and related accrued interest is determined by the net
cash flow, as defined, of CHJV, in accordance with the priority of payments
outlined in the partnership agreement. In February 1996, CHJV made a $400
payment of interest to the partners on their advances.
(b) In connection with the refinancing discussed in Note 3 and the change in
ownership discussed in Note 7, principal and interest aggregating $7,623
were contributed to the capital of MOHA in May 1995.
(c) In connection with the refinancing discussed in Note 3, retired in May 1995.
</TABLE>
Total interest expense on partner advances was $964, $1,073 and $739 for
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $189 and
$194 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
7. CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP:
In May 1995, in connection with the refinancing discussed in Note 3, MOHA,
BMLP and POP redeemed their respective partnership interests held by non-BMC
Affiliates and BMC Affiliates were admitted as new partners. In addition, FMHP
redeemed its partnership interest held by BMLP. As a result of the redemptions,
BMC Affiliates own 100% of these partnerships. The aggregate cash redemption
price paid to non-BMC Affiliates was $9,357. For each partnership, the
difference between the redemption price paid and the related capital account
balances of the partners redeemed was recorded as an adjustment of the carrying
value of the respective investments in hotel properties of MOHA, FMHP, BMLP and
POP.
F-36
<PAGE> 142
INITIAL HOTELS
EXCLUDING LAKE NORMAN HOTELS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
The purchase accounting adjustment recorded, which was equal to the cash
paid to redeem the partnership interests plus the deficit capital account
balances of the redeemed partners at the time of the redemptions, was an
aggregate increase in the carrying value of the investments in hotel property as
follows:

Following is pro forma data assuming that the redemptions of the non-BMC
affiliates discussed above and the related refinancing discussed in Note 3 had
occurred at the beginning of 1995. The pro forma adjustments to historical
operating results are (i) to increase depreciation expense for the effect of the
purchase accounting adjustments to the carrying values of investments in hotel
properties; (ii) to adjust management fee expense for FMHP, MOHA, BMLP and POP
to 4.5% of hotel revenues as required by the terms of the refinancing; and,
(iii) to increase interest expense to reflect the terms of the new mortgage debt
and the amortization of related deferred financing costs.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Claims and Legal Matters
Certain of the hotels are involved in claims and legal matters incidental
to their businesses. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of
these matters will not have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations of the hotels.
Franchise Agreements
Under the terms of hotel franchise agreements, annual payments for
franchise royalties and reservation and advertising services are due from the
hotels. For six of the hotels, fees are computed based upon percentages of gross
room revenues. At December 31, 1995, the franchise royalty fees payable by the
hotels ranged from 3% to 5% of room revenues while the fees for advertising
services ranged from .8% to 3.5%. Effective January 1, 1996, the royalty fee to
be paid by BMLP increased by 2% of room revenues. For MOHA, the payment is a
flat fee ranging from $6 per month in 1994 to $12 per month in 1998; in 1999 and
thereafter, the fee at MOHA will be at 6% of gross room revenues. The franchise
agreements expire at various dates through 2014.
During 1992, CHJV amended and extended its franchise agreement. Under the
terms of the amended agreement, no fee was due during 1992; franchise fees
commenced in August 1993 at a reduced percentage of room revenues, increasing
gradually through 1997.
In January 1994, MOHA executed an amended franchise agreement. The amended
agreement provided for the forgiveness of $600 of unpaid fees accrued under the
original franchise agreement through December 31, 1993. Such amount is reflected
as a reduction of franchisor royalties and other charges for 1994.
The franchise agreements contain provisions whereby the franchisor would be
entitled to additional payments in the event the franchisees would terminate the
franchise agreements prior to maturity.

As a result of the proposed initial public offering discussed in Note 1 and
the resulting prepayment of the mortgage notes payable, prepayment penalties of
approximately $3,300 will be due upon closing. See Note 3 for a discussion of
additional interest payment requirements with respect to certain of the mortgage
notes.
The land on which the Berkeley Marina Marriott is located is leased under
an operating lease agreement expiring in 2033 which can be extended to 2051. The
lease requires minimum annual rentals of $100, and percentage rentals based on
hotel revenues. BMLP is responsible for all taxes, insurance and maintenance on
the property. Rental expense charged to operations for the land lease were as

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized for
financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996. Considerable judgment is necessary to
interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which
could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Cash Equivalents
Management estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximates
carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Long-Term Debt
Management estimates that the fair values of mortgage and other long-term
debt approximate carrying values based upon the hotels' effective borrowing rate
for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO BOYKIN LODGING TRUST, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Lake Norman
Hotels (as defined in Note 1 to the financial statements) as of December 31,
1994 and 1995, and the related combined statements of operations, partners'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. These combined 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial position of the Lake Norman
Hotels as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Organization
The Lake Norman Hotels consist of the following hotels:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
NUMBER OF
PROPERTY NAME OWNER LOCATION ROOMS
- ------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ---------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Charlotte, North
Holiday Inn Norman Associates Carolina 119
Charlotte, North
Hampton Inn Norman Associates II Carolina 117
</TABLE>
In February 1996, B.B.G., I, L.L.C. (BBG), owned 46% by certain
shareholders of The Boykin Company and 54% by a third party, acquired the Lake
Norman Hotels for $9,721 from Norman Associates and Norman Associates II.
Basis of Presentation
Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc. is a recently organized Ohio corporation which
has been established to acquire equity interests in existing hotel properties
and to consider selectively the development of new hotels. Boykin Lodging Trust,
Inc. will use the proceeds from a proposed initial public offering to acquire
the general partnership interest, representing an 84.1% equity interest, in
Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership (the Partnership). It
is proposed that the shareholders of BBG will contribute their interests in the
Lake Norman Hotels to the Partnership in exchange for partnership interests. The
Partnership will use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the general
partnership interest to Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc. to retire mortgage
indebtedness encumbering the Lake Norman Hotels.
The accompanying combined financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting and include the accounts of the Lake Norman Hotels using
their historical cost basis. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Management believes that these combined financial statements result in a
more meaningful presentation of the Lake Norman Hotel businesses to be acquired
by the Partnership and thus appropriately reflect the historical financial
position and results of operations.
Interim Unaudited Financial Information
The combined financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and the periods January 1, to February 7, 1996 (period prior to acquisition by
BBG) and February 8, to March 31, 1996 (period after acquisition by BBG) are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the combined
financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results
of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained
for a full year.
The unaudited pro forma data for the three-month periods ended March 31,
1995 and 1996 reflect pro forma operating results assuming that BBG had acquired
the Lake Norman Hotels as of the beginning of the respective accounting periods.
The primary pro forma adjustments to historical operating results are (i) to
increase interest expense to reflect the terms of the acquisition debt; (ii) to
increase depreciation expense for the effect of the purchase accounting writeup
of the investments in hotel properties; and (iii) to increase management fee
expense to 5% of hotel revenues as discussed in Note 5.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Accounting Periods
For annual reporting purposes, the Lake Norman Hotels have been included in
the accompanying combined financial statements based on a December 31 year-end.
Investments in Hotel Properties
Hotel properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
accelerated and straight-line methods based upon the following estimated useful
lives:
Buildings and improvements 10-39 years
Furniture and equipment 5-7 years
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Lake Norman Hotels adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
Accordingly, the partners and management of the Lake Norman Hotels review the
hotel properties for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. When such
conditions exist, management estimates the future cash flows from operations and
disposition of the hotel properties. If the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the
related estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss
would be recognized. No such impairment losses have been recognized.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and the gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three
months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Expenses
Deferred expenses consist primarily of deferred loan costs, which are
amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements and deferred franchise
fees which are amortized over the terms of the related franchise agreements. The
amortization of deferred loan costs of $7, $7 and $7 for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $2, $1 and $6 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1995, the period January 1, to February 7,
1996 and the period February 8, to March 31, 1996, respectively, has been
included in interest expense in the accompanying combined statements of
operations. Accumulated amortization of deferred expenses was $59, $69 and $17
at December 31, 1994 and 1995, and March 31, 1996, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of
accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses have
been within management's expectations.
Income Taxes
The Lake Norman Hotels are not subject to federal or state income taxes;
however, they must file informational income tax returns and the partners must
take income or loss of the Lake Norman Hotels into consideration when filing
their respective tax returns.

LAKE NORMAN HOTELS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Management's Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
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.
3. ACQUISITION BY BBG:
On February 8, 1996, BBG acquired certain assets of the Lake Norman Hotels
from Norman Associates and Norman Associates II in exchange for aggregate cash
consideration of $9,721. The purchase price allocation was as follows:

Buildings and improvements....................... 7,088
Furniture and equipment.......................... 1,327
Other assets..................................... 116
------
$9,721
======
</TABLE>
BBG funded the purchase price with mortgage debt borrowings of $9,500 and
contributed capital. Norman Associates and Norman Associates II used a portion
of the sales proceeds to retire the mortgage notes encumbering the properties.
BBG also acquired certain food and beverage assets from the operator of those
facilities and canceled the lease (see Note 6).

note are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the shareholders of BBG.
(b) The payment of commitment fees and other financing fees is required upon
maturity or repayment in full of the notes. The aggregate amount of the fees
to be paid increases from $337 if repayment occurs within the first loan
year to $910 of the notes are retired at the maturity date. Management
estimates that the additional interest to be paid will be $337 if the
proposed initial public offering discussed in Note 1 is completed. The
additional interest is being charged to interest expense over a one-year
period due to the anticipated retirement of the notes within one year. For
the period ended March 31, 1996, $48 of additional interest was provided.
Aggregate scheduled annual principal payments for the above notes as of March

5. COMMITMENTS:
Franchise Agreements
Under the terms of hotel franchise agreements expiring in 2007 and 2010
with respect to the Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn, respectively, annual payments
for franchise royalties and reservation and advertising services are due from
the Lake Norman Hotels. Franchisor royalties and marketing contributions are
computed based upon percentages (ranging from 5.5% to 7%) of gross room revenue.
The franchise agreements contain provisions whereby the franchisors would
be entitled to additional payments in the event the franchisees would terminate
the franchise agreement prior to maturity.

LAKE NORMAN HOTELS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Management Agreements
Prior to February 8, 1996, the Lake Norman Hotels were operated under
management agreements which provided for a management fee of 3% of gross
revenues in exchange for management services. Effective February 8, 1996, Boykin
Management Company (BMC) assumed management responsibilities for the Lake Norman
Hotels. The management agreements with BMC require the payment of a management
fee equal to 5% of hotel revenues. The management agreements with BMC expire
December 31, 1999. BBG also pays a 1% asset management fee to an affiliate of
the third-party owner.
Other
As a result of the proposed initial public offering discussed in Note 1 and
the resulting prepayment of the Lake Norman Hotels' mortgage notes payable,
prepayment penalties of approximately $234 will be due upon closing. See Note 4
for a discussion of commitment fees and other financing fee payment requirements
with respect to the mortgage notes payable.
6. HOLIDAY INN RESTAURANT:
Consistent with the franchise agreement, the Holiday Inn must maintain a
restaurant on the premises. In August 1993, the hotel ceased operation of the
restaurant, lounge and meeting/catering facilities and entered into a lease with
a third party to continue to maintain the food and beverage operation. The
five-year lease provided for a base rent of $5 per month plus a percentage rent
based on the gross revenues of the restaurant. In August 1994, the hotel waived
the base rent and in May 1995 the percentage rent was also waived. In February
1996, the lease was terminated in connection with the sale of the hotel to BBG.
BBG also acquired the assets and business of the operator at the same time of
its purchase of the hotel. See Note 3 for discussion of the sale. Rental income
of $49, $43 and $6 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, is included in other
revenue in the accompanying combined statements of operations.
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized for
financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996. Considerable judgment is necessary to
interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which
could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Cash Equivalents
Management estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximates
carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Long-Term Debt
Management estimates that the fair value of mortgage debt approximates
carrying value based upon the Lake Norman Hotels' effective borrowing rate for
issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to present the
combined net assets of Boykin Management Company, Purchasing Concepts, Inc. and
Bopa Design Company which are to be merged into or contributed to subsidiaries
of Boykin Management Company, Ltd. pursuant to the formation transactions

(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
(AMOUNTS AND DISCLOSURES FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 ARE UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSES:
Boykin Management Company (BMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boykin
Company (TBC), and certain of its subsidiaries manage and operate full and
limited service hotels located throughout the United States pursuant to
management agreements. See Note 4 for further discussion of the management
agreements. Purchasing Concepts, Inc. (PCI), related to TBC through common
ownership, provides national purchasing services to hotels and restaurants. Bopa
Design Company (doing business as Spectrum Services), a wholly owned subsidiary
of TBC since January 1, 1996, provides interior design services to hotels and
other businesses. Certain of the hotels managed by BMC and served by PCI and
Spectrum Services are related to BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services through common
ownership.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Pursuant to certain currently contemplated formation transactions, BMC and
Spectrum Services will merge into subsidiaries of Boykin Management Company,
Ltd. (BMCL), a newly formed Ohio Limited Liability Company. Prior to such
mergers, BMC and Spectrum Services will transfer certain assets and liabilities
to TBC pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. In addition, PCI will
contribute its assets to a subsidiary of BMCL and that subsidiary will assume
PCI's liabilities.
BMCL and its subsidiaries will act as the successors to the businesses of
BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services and as the lessee of certain hotels affiliated
with TBC which are to be acquired by Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., a
partnership in which Boykin Lodging Trust, Inc., will be the general partner.
The accompanying financial statements present on a historical combined
basis the net assets of BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services to be merged into or
contributed to BMCL and its subsidiaries and the related revenues and expenses
of such businesses. Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of BMC, PCI and
Spectrum Services which are not to be merged into or contributed to BMCL and its
subsidiaries have been excluded from the accompanying financial statements.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the combined assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses
of BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services (collectively, the Combined Entities).
BMC has a March 31 fiscal year-end, whereas PCI and Spectrum Services
utilize calendar year-ends. The accompanying audited financial statements
combine the accounts of BMC as of March 31, 1995 and 1996 and for each of the
three years in the period ended March 31, 1996 with the accounts of PCI and
Spectrum Services as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, respectively. Such combined periods
are referred to as the years ended March 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996. The
accompanying unaudited financial statements combine the accounts of BMC, PCI and
Spectrum Services as of March 31, 1996 and for the three-month interim periods
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. Such combined periods are referred to as the
interim periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.
As BMCL, BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services are related through common
ownership there will be no purchase accounting adjustments to the historical
carrying values of the assets and liabilities of BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services
upon merger into or contribution to the subsidiaries of BMCL.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
Income tax attributes of the Combined Entities are not being assumed by
BMCL or its subsidiaries. As such, the accompanying combined statements of net
assets include no accrued or deferred income tax liabilities nor any future tax
benefits. The accompanying combined statements of revenues and expenses do not
reflect any federal income tax provisions as BMCL and its subsidiaries will be
formed as passthrough entities for tax purposes.
The taxable income of BMC is included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of its parent company, TBC. PCI and Spectrum Services are S
Corporations for federal income tax reporting purposes.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net is comprised of the following at March 31, 1995

<S> <C>
Leasehold improvements....................... 7-10 years
Furniture and equipment...................... 3-10 years
</TABLE>
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and the gain or loss is included in the statement of revenues and
expenses.
Management's Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
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.
4. REVENUES:
BMC has management agreements with several entities to manage the
operations of hotels and restaurants. Generally, BMC receives a fee based upon
percentages of revenues. In certain management contracts, BMC is entitled to
additional incentive fees in the event the managed property achieves specified
F-55
<PAGE> 161
BOYKIN MANAGEMENT COMPANY, PURCHASING CONCEPTS, INC.
AND BOPA DESIGN COMPANY
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
operating results. Certain contracts also include limitations on management
fees, or restrict payment of earned fees to BMC based upon the defined cash flow
of the related property. PCI provides national purchasing services to hotels and
restaurants and Spectrum Services provides interior design services to hotels
and other businesses.
Revenue is recognized as earned pursuant to the terms of hotel management
agreements with respect to BMC, and as the services of PCI and Spectrum Services
are rendered. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and an allowance for
potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable
which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses have been within
management's expectations.
Revenues from affiliates in the accompanying combined statements of
revenues and expenses represent revenues earned by the Combined Entities on
goods or services provided to various hotel properties in which the respective
owners of the Combined Entities or their affiliates have direct or indirect
ownership interests.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
In October 1992, BMC entered into a five-year lease agreement for office
space. The lease provides for two, three-year renewal options. The annual rent
is $126. As an incentive to enter into the lease, BMC received a $70 payment
from the lessor which is being recognized as a reduction of rent expense on a
straight-line basis over the five-year lease term.
The Combined Entities are involved in claims and legal matters incidental
to their businesses. In the opinion of management of the Combined Entities, the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on the
financial position or the results of operations of the Combined Entities.

In general, the above amounts are due from partnerships or joint ventures
in which certain owners and officers of PCI, Spectrum Services or TBC, have
ownership interests. These partnerships or joint ventures own hotel properties
which are managed by BMC.
The loans receivable from Boykin Columbus Joint Venture bear interest at
10% per annum. Interest income earned on the loans to Boykin Columbus Joint
Venture was $220, $230 and $260 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and $67
for each of the interim periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.
BMC guaranteed the mortgage debt of Fort Myers Hotel Partnership until such
debt was refinanced in May 1995. Included in interest income from affiliates for
both 1994 and 1995 was $33 of fee revenue related to the guarantee. No guarantee
fee was earned in 1996.
Accounts payable to affiliates are comprised of property insurance retro
premium adjustments and telephone commissions received by BMC and payable to the
various affiliated hotels at the respective statement dates.
Advance billings for design services are related primarily to billings to
affiliates.
8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized for
financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
March 31, 1996. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and
develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized on

disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodology may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts.
Cash Equivalents
Management estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximates
carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Loans and Interest Receivable
Management estimates that the fair value of the loans and interest
receivable from Boykin Columbus Joint Venture (BCJV) approximates carrying value
based upon the discounted expected cash flows at an interest rate commensurate
with the creditworthiness of BCJV.
Notes Payable
Management estimates that the fair values of notes payable approximate
carrying values based upon BMC's effective borrowing rate for issuance of debt
with similar terms and remaining maturities.

ITEM 31. SALES TO SPECIAL PARTIES
On March 15, 1996, following the incorporation and in connection with the
organization of the Registrant, one of the Registrant's Common Shares was issued
to Raymond P. Heitland for $100.00 in cash. This transaction was effected in
reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
ITEM 32. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On March 15, 1996, following the incorporation and in connection with the
organization of the Registrant, one of the Registrant's Common Shares was issued
to Raymond P. Heitland for $100.00 in cash. This transaction was effected in
reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act.
The Partnership entered into binding contracts on May 22, 1996 (136,364
Units), May 24, 1996 (9,682 Units), June 17, 1996 (127,379 Units) and June 18,
1996 (1,216,575 Units) to issue a total of 1,490,000 Units to 20 general
partners of the Contributed Partnerships at the closing of the Offering. These
transactions were effected pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.
ITEM 33. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Ohio Revised Code (the "Code") authorizes Ohio corporations to
indemnify officers and directors from liability if the officer or director acted
in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by the officer or director to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal actions, if the officer or director had no reason to believe his
action was unlawful. In the case of an action by or on behalf of a corporation,
indemnification may not be made (i) if the person seeking indemnification is
adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct, unless the court in which such
action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification or (ii) if liability asserted against such person concerns
certain unlawful distributions. The indemnification provisions of the Ohio Code
require indemnification if a director or officer has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding that he was a
party to by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the
corporation.
II-1
<PAGE> 166
The indemnification authorized under Ohio law is not exclusive and is in
addition to any other rights granted to officers and directors under the
articles of incorporation or code of regulations of the corporation or any
agreement between officers and directors and the corporation. A corporation may
purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection on behalf of any
officer or director against any liability asserted against him and incurred by
him in his capacity, or arising out of the status, as an officer or director,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the Ohio Code.
The Registrant's Code of Regulations provides for the indemnification of
directors and officers of the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by Ohio
law as authorized by the Board of Directors of the Registrant, for the
advancement of expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action,
suit or proceeding that he was a party to by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director of the Registrant upon the receipt of an undertaking to repay
such amount unless it is ultimately determined that the director is entitled to
indemnification.
The Registrant is seeking to obtain an insurance policy which will insure
the officers and directors of the Registrant from any claim arising out of an
alleged wrongful act by such persons in their respective capacities as officers
and directors of the Registrant.
Reference is made to Section of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of
which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1, for information concerning indemnification
arrangements among the Registrant and the Underwriters.

ITEM 36. UNDERTAKINGS
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
