RIDGEWOOD PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1996 AND MAY 31, 1995
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL:
Ridgewood Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is
primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, developing,
operating and selling real estate property in the Southeast and
"Sunbelt" areas. Additionally, the Company, through its
investment in a limited partnership, is engaged in acquiring and
managing hotel properties in the Southeast. Currently, the
Company's only operating property is the hotel in Longwood,
Florida. All of the Company's other properties are land
properties held for sale, and no additional development is
currently anticipated for the land. The Company was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October
29, 1985. Prior to December 31, 1985, the Company operated
under the name CMEI, Inc.
The Company's common stock is currently listed in
the broker-dealer "Pink Sheets" and trades in the
over-the-counter market. Of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, 37% of the common stock is
owned by the Company's President, N. Russell Walden. All of the
Company's issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock are
owned by Triton Group, Ltd.
The accompanying financial statements of the Company
present the historical cost basis amount of assets, liabilities
and shareholders' investment of the real estate business for the
periods presented. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned
subsidiaries and its joint venture investments after the
elimination of all intercompany amounts.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, the consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes
in cash flow for the interim periods covered by this report.
Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, management
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ended August 31,
1995. The results of operations for the nine months ended May
31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1996.
The Company is currently generating net operating
loss carryforwards for both book and tax purposes which may be
used to offset future taxable income. In September 1993, the
Company adopted SFAS 109. The adoption of SFAS 109 did not have
a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash
includes cash equivalents which are highly liquid investments
with maturity of three months or less.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current presentation.
3. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES:
No additional allowance for possible losses was
necessary for the nine months ended May 31, 1996. The allowance
for possible losses increased by $50,000 for the nine months
ended May 31, 1995. The additional reserve was to reflect the
net realizable value on a residential lot in Atlanta, Georgia.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
On May 2, 1995 a complaint was filed in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware (New Castle County) entitled
William N. Strassburger v. Michael M. Early, Luther A.
Henderson, John C. Stiska, N. Russell Walden, and Triton Group,
Ltd., defendants, and Ridgewood Properties, Inc., nominal
defendant, C.A. No. 14267 (the "Complaint"). The plaintiff is
an individual shareholder of the Company who purports to file
the Complaint individually, representatively on behalf of all
similarly situated shareholders, and derivatively on behalf of
the Company. The Complaint challenges the actions of the
Company and its directors in consummating the Company's August
1994 repurchase of its common stock held by Triton Group, Ltd.
and Hesperus Partners Ltd. in five counts, denominated Waste of
Corporate Assets, Breach of Duty of Loyalty to Ridgewood, Breach
of Duty of Good Faith, Intentional Misconduct, and Breach of
Duty of Loyalty and Good Faith to Class.
The Company has answered the Complaint, denying all
allegations of wrongdoing either on its part or that of its
directors. The Company's management believes the claims made in
the Complaint are without merit, and that the shareholders of
Ridgewood benefited from the challenged transactions. Since
previous disclosures, there has been no significant progress in
the lawsuit. Management intends to vigorously contest this
matter.
5. SHAREHOLDERS' INVESTMENT:
Loss Per Common Share --
Loss per common share is calculated based upon the
weighted average number of shares outstanding of approximately
963,000 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 1995,
1,088,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1996 and 1,044,000
for the nine months ended May 31, 1996. Dividends paid on
preferred stock were $45,000 and $126,000, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended May 31, 1995; and $90,000 for the
nine months ended May 31, 1996. The preferred dividend payable
in May was accrued but not paid until June 1996. These
dividends were added to the net loss for purposes of computing
the loss per common share.
Stock Option Plan --
On March 30, 1993, the Company granted options to
purchase 378,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.83 per
share to its key employees and one director under the Ridgewood
Properties, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The options
will vest over a four year period in 25% increments. All
options expire ten years from the date of grant, unless earlier
on account of death, disability, termination of employment, or
for other reasons outlined in the Plan. As of May 31, 1996, all
of the options are exercisable.
On January 28, 1994, the Company granted options to
purchase 375,000 and 75,000 shares of common stock at a price of
$1.00 per share to its President and Chief Financial Officer,
respectively, under the Plan. The options are exercisable
immediately and expire on January 31, 1997.
6. NOTES PAYABLE:
In June 1995, the Company entered into a loan with a
commercial lender to refinance the Ramada Inn in Longwood,
Florida. The loan proceeds are $2,800,000. The loan is for a
term of 20 years with an amortization period of 25 years, at the
rate of 10.35%. Principal and interest payments are
approximately $26,000 per month beginning August 1, 1995. In
addition, the Company is required to make a repair escrow
payment comprised of 4% of estimated revenues, as well as real
estate tax and insurance escrow payments. The total amount for
these items will be a payment of approximately $20,000 per month
and can be adjusted annually. The escrow funds will be used as
tax, insurance and repair needs arise. As of May 31, 1996,
there was approximately $186,000 of escrowed funds related to
this loan agreement. In June 1996, the Company requested and
received approximately $95,000 from escrow for hotel repair
items. Also, commitment fees and loan costs of approximately
$159,000 are being amortized over 20 years. The balance of this
loan as of May 31, 1996 was approximately $2,777,000.
In December 1995 and in conjunction with the
acquisition of a hotel management company, the Company assumed
three promissory notes dated September 22, 1994 and payable to
three different Georgia corporations. The total combined
outstanding principal was approximately $106,000. All three
notes are for a term of five years at a rate of 6.83%. Combined
principal and interest payments are approximately $2,667 per
month through October 1, 1999. The combined balance of these
loans at May 31, 1996 was approximately $94,000.
Maturities of long-term debt during the Company's
next five fiscal years are as follows: 1997 - $55,000; 1998 -
$59,000; 1999 - $65,000; 2000 - $43,000; 2001 - $42,000.
7. INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:
On August 16, 1995, RW Hotel Partners, L.P. was
organized as a limited partnership (the "Partnership") under the
laws of the State of Delaware. Concurrently, the Company formed
Ridgewood Hotels, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Ridgewood
Hotels") which became the sole general partner in the
Partnership with RW Hotel Investments Associates, L.L.C.
("Investor") as the limited partner. Ridgewood Hotels has a 1%
base distribution percentage versus 99% for the Investor.
However, distribution percentages do vary depending on certain
defined preferences and priorities pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement ("Agreement") which are discussed below. The
partnership was originally formed to acquire a hotel property in
Louisville, Kentucky. The terms of this partnership will serve
as a guideline for other potential acquisitions with the
Investor or its affiliates.
The Partnership Agreement was amended and restated on
September 8, 1995. Distributable Cash is defined as the net
income from the property before depreciation plus any net sale
proceeds and net financing proceeds less capital costs.
Distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made as follows:
- First, to the Investor until there has been
distributed to the Investor an amount equal to a 15% cumulative
internal rate of return on the Investor's investment.
- Second, to Ridgewood Hotels until the aggregate
amount received by Ridgewood Hotels equals the aggregate cash
contributions made by Ridgewood Hotels to the Partnership (as of
5/31/96, Ridgewood Hotels contributed approximately $771,000).
- Third, 12% to Ridgewood Hotels and 88% to the
Investor until there has been distributed to the Investor an
amount equal to a 25% cumulative internal rate of return on
Investor's investment.
- Fourth, 75% of the residual to the Investor and 25%
to Ridgewood Hotels.
A Management Agreement exists between the Partnership
and the Company as Manager ("Manager") for the purpose of
managing hotels in Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina. The
Manager shall be entitled to the following property management
fees:
(1) 2.5% of the gross revenues from the hotel
property.
(2) 1% of the gross revenues from the hotel property
as an incentive fee if distributable cash equals or exceeds
13.5% of certain aggregate acquisition costs. No management
fees are payable with respect to the first 12-month period of
management of the hotel in Kentucky.
A Construction Management Agreement exists between
the Partnership and the Manager for the purpose of managing
future improvements to the properties.
The Company currently has approximately $771,000
invested in the Partnership. The Partnership purchased a hotel
in Louisville, Kentucky for approximately $16,000,000. In
December 1995 and January 1996, the Partnership purchased four
hotel properties in Georgia for approximately $15,000,000 and a
hotel in South Carolina for $4,000,000, respectively. The
Company may make future capital contributions to the
Partnership. Management expects to fund such capital
contributions through available cash or from loans from the
Partnership. Additionally, the Company may invest in other
partnerships to acquire hotels in the future.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996
COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1995
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES --
In June 1995, the Company entered into a loan with a
commercial lender to refinance the Ramada Inn in Longwood,
Florida. The loan proceeds are $2,800,000. The loan is for a
term of 20 years with an amortization period of 25 years, at the
rate of 10.35%. Principal and interest payments are
approximately $26,000 per month beginning August 1, 1995. In
addition, the Company is required to make a repair escrow
payment comprised of 4% of estimated revenues, as well as real
estate tax and insurance escrow payments. The total amount for
these items will be a payment of approximately $20,000 per month
and can be adjusted annually. The escrow funds will be used as
tax, insurance and repair needs arise. As of May 31, 1996,
there was approximately $186,000 of escrowed funds related to
this loan agreement. In June 1996, the Company requested and
received approximately $95,000 from escrow for hotel repair
items.
During the first nine months of fiscal year 1996, the
Company sold land in Ohio and Georgia for net proceeds of
approximately $339,000 and $81,000, respectively. Also, in
September 1995, the Company was refunded its entire investment
of $61,000 in its joint venture for the purpose of developing a
subdivision lot in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Company signed a contract for the sale of a
parcel of its land in Dallas, Texas for net proceeds of
approximately $450,000. The Company also signed a contract for
the sale of a parcel of land in Athens, Georgia for net proceeds
of approximately $140,000. Additionally, the Company signed a
contract for the sale of approximately five acres of land in
Maitland, Florida for net proceeds of approximately $1.2
million. The above sales are scheduled to close in August 1996
(two) and September 1996, respectively, but all of the contracts
have several contingencies which allow the buyers to withdraw at
any time.
On August 16, 1995, RW Hotel Partners, L.P. was
organized as a limited partnership (the "Partnership") under the
laws of the State of Delaware. Concurrently, the Company formed
Ridgewood Hotels, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Ridgewood
Hotels") which became the sole general partner in the
Partnership with RW Hotel Investments Associates, L.L.C.
("Investor") as the limited partner. Ridgewood Hotels has a 1%
base distribution percentage versus 99% for the Investor.
However, distribution percentages do vary depending on certain

- Third, 12% to Ridgewood Hotels and 88% to the
Investor until there ha been distributed to the Investor an
amount equal to a 25% cumulative internal rate of return on
Investor's investment.
- Fourth, 75% of the residual to the Investor and 25%
to Ridgewood Hotels.
A Management Agreement exists between the Partnership
and the Company as Manager ("Manager") for the purpose of
managing hotels in Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina. The
Manager shall be entitled to the following property management
fees:
(1) 2.5% of the gross revenues from the hotel

(2) 1% of the gross revenues from the hotel property
as an incentive fee if distributable cash equals or exceeds
13.5% of certain aggregate acquisition costs. No management
fees are payable with respect to the first 12-month period of
management of the hotel in Kentucky.
A Construction Management Agreement exists between
the Partnership and the Manager for the purpose of managing
future improvements to the properties.
The Company currently has approximately $771,000
invested in the Partnership. The Partnership purchased a hotel
in Louisville, Kentucky for approximately $16,000,000. In
December 1995 and January 1996, the Partnership purchased four
hotel properties in Georgia for approximately $15,000,000 and a
hotel in South Carolina for $4,000,000, respectively. The
Company may make future capital contributions to the
Partnership. Management expects to fund such capital
contributions through available cash or from loans from the
Partnership. Additionally, the Company may invest in other
partnerships to acquire hotels in the future.
Since the Company is not currently generating
sufficient operating cash to cover overhead and debt service,
the Company must continue to sell real estate, seek alternative
financing or otherwise recapitalize the Company. The Company
also intends to aggressively pursue the acquisition of hotels
and hotel management contracts which would provide additional
cash flow.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --
The Company had gains from real estate sales of
approximately $9,000 and $138,000 for the three and nine months
ended May 31, 1996. During the three and nine months ended May
31, 1995, the Company had gains from real estate sales of
approximately $253,000 and $246,000, respectively. Gains or
losses on sales are dependent upon the specific assets sold in a
particular period and the terms of each sale.
Operating revenues from real estate properties
decreased approximately $71,000, or 8%, and $556,000, or 21%,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended May 31, 1996,
compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 1995. The
decrease was the result of the sale of the Company's weekly
rental hotel in Orlando, Florida during fiscal year 1995. For
the nine months ended May 31, 1996, operating revenues increased
approximately $41,000 at the Company's hotel in Longwood,
Florida.
Revenues from hotel management increased
approximately $134,000, or 140%, and $298,000, or 183%,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended May 31, 1996
compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 1995 due to
the acquisition of hotels and a hotel management company. In
turn, expenses of hotel management increased approximately
$117,000, or 102%, and $241,000, or 96%, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended May 31, 1996 compared to the three
and nine months ended May 31, 1995.
Expenses of real estate properties during the three
and nine months ended May 31, 1996 decreased $132,000, or 17%,
and $550,000, or 24%, respectively, compared to the three and
nine months ended May 31, 1995 due primarily to the sale of the
