PRIME HOSPITALITY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements of Prime Hospitality Corp. and subsidiaries
(the "Company") contain all material adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of September 30, 1994 and the results of its operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and the cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.
The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1994 and 1993 were prepared on a consistent basis with the audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 1993 consolidated
financial statements to conform them to the September 30, 1994 presentation.
The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year. These interim unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993.
Note 2 - MORTGAGES AND OTHER NOTES RECEIVABLE
During April 1994, the Company received a favorable ruling from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida in its litigation
with Financial Security Assurance, Inc. ("FSA") to recover a payment to be made
under a settlement agreement with Allan V. Rose and Arthur G. Cohen ("Rose and
Cohen"). In 1993, the Company reached a settlement with Rose and Cohen of an
adversary proceeding regarding a promissory note and personal guarantee, which
had been commenced by a subsidiary of the Company's predecessor, Prime Motor
Inns, Inc. ("PMI") during 1991. The settlement provided for Rose or his
affiliate to pay the Company the sum of $25,000,000, all of which was paid into
escrow in February 1994, plus proceeds from the sale of approximately 1,100,000
shares of the Company's common stock held by Rose. FSA asserted that it was
entitled to receive the settlement proceeds under the terms of a certain
intercreditor agreement. In April 1994, the Court approved the settlement and
ruled that the Company had an exclusive right to the settlement proceeds. Upon
receipt of the order, the Company used the $25,000,000 of settlement proceeds
to retire certain secured notes (see Note 3). On April 21, 1994, FSA filed its
notice of appeal of the Court's order. On May 4, 1994, Rose sold approximately
1,000,000 shares of the Company's stock under the terms of the settlement for
net proceeds of $5,894,000. Subject to further court order, the Company plans
to use the stock proceeds principally to retire certain secured notes.
- 5 -
<PAGE> 8
The Rose and Cohen note had a book value of $25,000,000 on the date the
proceeds were received. Therefore, $5,894,000 was recorded as income in the
Company's statement of operations for the second quarter of 1994.
Note 3 - DEBT
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company repurchased $6,527,000
of its adjustable rate senior secured notes, $217,000 of its 8.20% senior
secured notes and $461,000 of its 9.20% junior secured notes for an aggregate
purchase price of $7,018,000. The repurchases resulted in pretax extraordinary
gains of $187,000.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company purchased through a
third party agent approximately $5,200,000 of its senior and junior secured
notes for aggregate consideration of approximately $4,800,000. These notes are
held by the third party agent and were not retired due to certain restrictions
under the note agreements. The purchases were recorded as investments on the
Company's balance sheet and no gain will be recorded on these transactions
until the notes mature or are redeemed. In April 1994, approximately
$1,100,000 of the notes were retired from the proceeds of the Rose and Cohen
settlement (See Note 2) resulting in a pretax extraordinary gain of
approximately $100,000. In August 1994, approximately $37,000 were retired
resulting in a pretax extraordinary gain of $5,000.
In April 1994, the Company retired its senior secured notes with a
prepayment of $26,408,000 funded by the proceeds of the settlement with Rose
and Cohen (See Note 2) and other collections from the collateral for these
notes.
In July 1994, the Company received consents from the required holders
of its junior secured notes to remove certain debt covenants which placed
limitations on the Company's hotel development spending. In consideration of
the amendment consent, the Company agreed to increase the coupon interest rate
from 9.2% to 10.0%, and to shorten the maturity by one year from July 31, 2000
to July 31, 1999.
Note 4 - INCOME TAXES
At September 30, 1994, the Company had available federal net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $116,000,000 which will expire beginning in
2005 and continuing through 2007. Of this amount, $107,000,000 is subject to
an annual limitation of $8,735,000 under the Internal Revenue Code due to a
change in ownership of the Company upon consummation of PMI's plan of
reorganization. For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company
recognized $2,295,000 of such tax benefits as a contribution to stockholders'
equity. The Company also has potential state income tax benefits relating to
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,400,000 which will expire
during various periods from 1995 to 2007. Certain of these potential benefits
are subject
- 6 -
<PAGE> 9
to annual limitations similar to federal requirements due to a change in
ownership. The utilization is further dependent on such factors as the level
of business conducted in each state and the amount of income subject to tax
within each state's carryforward period.
In January 1994, the Company received a $189,000 tax refund relating
to PMI. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountant's Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code", the Company recorded the tax refund
as a contribution to additional paid in capital.
Note 5 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The Company has restated net income per common share for all periods
to reflect a 9.4% reduction in the number of shares to be distributed under the
plan of reorganization ("the Plan") of PMI. The financial statements had
previously given effect to the maximum amount of 33,000,000 shares to be issued
under the Plan. The Company estimates the number of shares ultimately
distributed under the Plan will be reduced to 29,913,000. The final scheduled
distribution of shares under the Plan is expected to occur during the fourth
quarter of 1994.
Net income per common share was computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents (dilutive stock options
and warrants) outstanding during each period. The weighted average number of
common shares used in computing primary and fully diluted net income per share
was 32,118,000 and 31,969,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1994, respectively, and 30,266,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1993.
Note 6 - OTHER INCOME
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 consists of
proceeds from the settlement of the Rose and Cohen note receivable of
$5,894,000, gains on sales of land and hotel assets of $1,099,000, gain on the
settlement of a note receivable of $131,000, proceeds from the surrender of
former officers' life insurance policies of $286,000 and $53,000 of interest
income related to tax refunds.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results of Operations
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to Three and Nine
Months Ended September 30, 1993.
The following discussion and analysis is based on the historical
results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993. The financial information set forth below should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the
Company included elsewhere in this report and in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The Company has restated net income per common share for all
periods to reflect a 9.4% reduction in the number of shares to be distributed
under the plan of reorganization ("the Plan") of the Company's predecessor,
Prime Motor Inns, Inc. The financial statements had previously given effect to
the maximum amount of 33,000,000 shares to be issued under the Plan. The
Company estimates the number of shares ultimately distributed under the Plan
will be reduced to 29,913,000. The final scheduled distribution of shares
under the Plan is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 1994.
The following table presents the gross operating profit, as
defined, of the Company's owned and leased hotel properties for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. The hotel properties are
classified into three categories: comparable hotels; new hotels; and divested
hotels. At September 30, 1994, the Company owned or leased 45 hotel properties
of which 31 hotel properties were owned or leased by the Company during the
entire two periods presented and are classified as comparable hotels. The
fourteen hotels classified as new hotels are composed of four new AmeriSuites
hotels and three new Wellesley Inns which were opened after December 31, 1992,
two full service hotels purchased within the past year and five hotels acquired
through note receivable settlements or lease terminations within the past year.
The hotel properties classified as divested hotels consist of two full-service
hotels and one limited-service hotel sold in the past year.

Total room revenues increased by $5.0 million and $12.5 million or
24.9% and 24.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 over the
same periods in the prior year due to improved revenues at comparable hotels
and the acquisition or construction of new hotels in the past year. Room
revenues for comparable hotels increased by 6.3% and 7.1% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared to the same periods of the prior
year. The increases were due to improvements in average daily rate which
increased by $4.96 and $4.14 or 8.6% and 7.2% for the three and nine month
periods reflecting repositioning and refurbishment efforts at several hotels
and improving industry fundamentals. The strongest average daily rate growth
was achieved in the Company's Full-Service Franchised hotels where most of the
refurbishing projects have been performed. Occupancy rates for comparable
hotels decreased by approximately one percentage point for the three month
period as a result of the Company's strategy to increase average daily rates,
particularly at the Full-Service Franchised hotels. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, the comparable hotels' occupancy rates were even with the
prior year.
Food and beverage revenues increased by 41.5% and 42.3% for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods of the
prior year primarily due to the impact of three Full-Service Franchised hotels
acquired in the past year. Food and beverage revenues
- 11 -
<PAGE> 14
for comparable hotels increased by 2.6% and 8.3% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1994 compared to the same period of the prior year
primarily as a result of improved banquet sales and three new sports lounges.
The increases were offset by lower food revenues at other Company owned
restaurants.
Management and other fees consist of base and incentive fees earned
under management agreements, fees for additional services rendered to managed
hotels and sales commissions earned by the Company's national sales group,
Market Segments, Inc. The Company currently manages 39 hotels for third
parties. Management and other fees decreased by 6.5% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily
due to the Company's acquisition of four of its managed hotels since August
1993. In addition, while the Company has added three new management contracts
in the past year, independent owners have divested six hotels during that
period. The decreases have been partially offset by increases in management
fees attributable to improved hotel revenues in the remaining properties.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994
and 1993 primarily related to mortgages secured by 11 managed hotels including
the Marriott's Frenchman's Reef Beach Resort ("Frenchman's Reef"). Interest
income on mortgages and notes increased by 11.8% and 9.3% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods of the
prior year primarily due to interest recognized on subordinated or junior
mortgages which remit payment based on hotel cash flow ("cash flow notes").
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, interest income
recognized on cash flow notes increased to $479,000 and $1.6 million from
$201,000 and $517,000 for the same periods of the prior year primarily
due to the execution of new cash flow note agreements on three hotels. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company also received $181,000 of
interest income on its note receivable from Rose and Cohen. During 1993, the
Company recorded no interest income on this note.
Approximately $3.6 million and $3.2 million of interest income for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, was derived from
the Company's $50 million note receivable secured by the Frenchman's Reef.
Under the terms of a proposed restructuring of the note, the Company will
obtain ownership and control of the Frenchman's Reef (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources). If consummated, the impact of this restructuring on operating
income is expected to be minimal, as direct revenues, expenses and depreciation
will increase and interest income and management fees will decrease.
Direct room expenses increased by 24.4% for both the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1994 over the same periods of the prior year due to
the impact of the new hotels. Direct room expenses for comparable hotels
increased by 1.9% and 3.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1994 over the prior year periods which was slightly lower than the general
inflation rate. For comparable hotels, margins improved to approximately 74%
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 from 73% in the prior
year periods due to higher average daily rates which have risen faster than
expenses.
- 12 -
<PAGE> 15
Direct food and beverage expenses increased by 34.2% and 30.7% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 due to the impact of new hotels.
Direct food and beverage margins increased to approximately 17% and 20% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to 12% and 13% in
the prior year periods. The improvements in gross margins are attributable to
increased revenues in the higher margin areas such as banquet departments and
sports lounges.
Direct hotel selling and general expenses consist primarily of hotel
expenses which are not specifically allocated to rooms or food and beverage
activities such as administration, selling and advertising, utilities and
repairs and maintenance. Direct hotel selling and general expenses increased
by 30.0% and 28.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 over
prior year periods due to the new hotels and increased expenses at comparable
hotels. Direct hotel selling and general expenses for comparable hotels
increased by 7.8% and 6.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1994 over the same periods of the prior year primarily due to expenses
associated with the increased revenues such as marketing expenses, incentive
payments and franchise fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 1994
direct selling and general expenses also increased due to higher utility and
snow removal costs in the first quarter as a result of the severe winter in the
Northeast.
Occupancy and other operating expenses increased by 4.0% and 2.4% for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 over the prior year periods
due to the impact of new hotels. The increases were partially offset by
decreased property and liability insurance charges based on favorable claims
experience and reductions in real estate taxes as a result of tax appeals on
certain properties.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of centralized
management expenses such as operations management, sales and marketing, finance
and hotel support services associated with operating both the owned and managed
hotels and general corporate expenses. For the nine months ended September 30,
1994 and 1993, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.3% as
compared to the prior year periods primarily due to savings realized from the
restructuring of the Company's centralized management operations in 1993. For
the three months ended September 30, 1994, general and administrative expenses
increased by 7.1% primarily due to increased corporate marketing expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 25.4% and 19.4% for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same
periods of the prior year due to the impact of new hotel properties acquired in
the past year and refurbishment efforts at several hotels.
Interest expense decreased by 13.4% and 15.1% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods of the prior
year primarily due to the net reduction of approximately $28 million of debt
over the past twelve months.

<PAGE> 16
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 1994 consisted
of gains on sales of land and hotel assets of $241,000 and proceeds from the
surrender of former officers' life insurance policies of $286,000. Other income
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 also consists of a gain of
approximately $5,900,000 related to the settlement of the Rose and Cohen note
receivable and other gains on sales of hotels of approximately $1 million.For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1993, other income consisted of
gains on sales of land and hotels of $1,144,000 and the settlement of closing
adjustments of $625,000 related to the sale of a hotel in a prior year.
Pretax extraordinary gains of approximately $5,000 and $291,000 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 relate to the retirement of
secured notes with a face value of $8.3 million. Pretax extraordinary gains of
approximately $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 relate
to the retirement of debt with a face value of $25.8 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes that it has sufficient financial resources to
provide for its working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt service
obligations. The Company anticipates meeting its future capital needs through
a combination of existing cash balances, projected cash flow from operations,
conversion of other assets to cash and proceeds from potential debt or equity
financings. The Company also intends to incur mortgage or sale/leaseback
financing on unencumbered properties to provide additional funds for the
development and acquisition of hotels. At September 30, 1994, the Company had
cash and cash equivalents of $24.6 million and restricted cash of $7.6 million,
which was primarily collateral for various debt obligations.
Cash flow from operations was approximately $18.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994. Cash flow from operations was positively
impacted by the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's") of
$2.3 million. At September 30, 1994, the Company has federal NOL's relating to
its predecessor, PMI, of approximately $116 million which are subject to annual
utilization limitations and expire beginning in 2005 and continuing through
2007.
The Company's other major sources of cash for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 were a settlement of the Rose and Cohen note receivable for
$30.9 million, borrowings under a secured demand credit agreement of $3.7
million and other collections of mortgages and notes receivable of $2.9
million.
The Company's major uses of cash for the nine months ended September
30, 1994 were payments of debt of $42.5 million, capital expenditures of $28.3
million and purchases of debt and other securities of $5.9 million.
Debt. In April 1994, the Company retired its senior secured notes with
a prepayment of $26.4 million from proceeds of the settlement of a note from
Rose and Cohen and other collections from
- 14 -
<PAGE> 17
the collateral for these notes. The Company issued the notes on July 31, 1992
and retired the issue in advance of its stated maturity of July 31, 1997.
In July 1994, the Company received consents from the required holders
of its junior secured notes in the amount of $53 million to remove certain debt
covenants which placed limitations on the Company's hotel development spending.
In consideration of the amendment consent, the Company agreed to increase the
coupon interest rate from 9.2% to 10% and to shorten the maturity by one year
from July 31, 2000 to July 31, 1999.
The Company has entered into an agreement to obtain mortgage financing
of $11 million on two of its unencumbered properties in order to fund its
acquisition and development program. The Company had originally contemplated
including ten additional properties in this financing but revised the agreement
due to the availability of alternative sources of financing. Interest will be
payable at a fixed rate based on the 10-year Treasury bond at closing plus
3.15%. Principal will be payable based on a 20-year amortization with a final
maturity in 10 years.
The Company has also entered into an agreement to sell and leaseback
seven of its hotels which the Company anticipates will provide cash proceeds in
the range of $28 to $40 million to be utilized for development and acquisition
purposes. The agreement provides for a fifteen year lease term and a
repurchase obligation equal to the unamortized portion of the sales price.
Rentals will be calculated based on interest at the prime rate plus 1% on the
buyer's investment and will also include a percentage rental in excess of net
profit, as defined. The transaction is subject to contingencies including the
buyer's ability to obtain financing.
In July 1994, the Company withdrew its Form S-3 Registration Statement
filed with the SEC in March 1994 for purposes of registering a $100,000,000
Senior Subordinated Notes offering. The Company had planned to use the
proceeds from the offering to refinance its senior and junior secured notes and
to fund hotel development and acquisition. The Company elected to withdraw the
offering due to rising interest rates, the availability of alternative sources
of financing and the Company's ability to obtain consents to remove certain
debt covenants contained in its secured notes.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company purchased at a discount
$7.2 million of its secured notes for an aggregate purchase price of $7.0
million.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company purchased through a
third party agent approximately $5.2 million of its secured notes for aggregate
consideration of $4.8 million. These notes were held by the third party agent
and were not retired due to certain restrictions under the note agreements.
The purchases were recorded as investments on the Company's balance sheet and
no gain will be recorded on these transactions until the notes mature or are
redeemed. In April 1994, approximately $1.1 million of these notes were
retired with a portion of the proceeds from the Rose and Cohen settlement
resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $100,000. In August,
approximately $37,000 were retired resulting in a pretax gain of $5,000.

As of September 30, 1994, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Suites of America, Inc. ("SOA"), has $34.0 million of debt obligations, all of
which is owed to ShoLodge, Inc. ("ShoLodge"). In April 1994, SOA refinanced
the $9.2 million of the debt due to ShoLodge in 1994 by extending the
maturities to April 1998 and ShoLodge provided financing to retire $5.1 million
of bank debt due in 1994 under the same terms. Upon the occurrence of certain
events including the exercise of an option by either the Company or ShoLodge
under a joint venture agreement, ShoLodge will contribute its fee or mortgage
interests on six hotels to SOA and hold a 50% equity interest in SOA which will
then consist of twelve AmeriSuites hotels. The $14.3 million of refinanced
debt owed to ShoLodge will become debt of the joint venture and the $19.7
million of remaining debt will be converted into debt or equity of the joint
venture.
The Company has $34.9 million of debt obligations related to the
Frenchman's Reef due in December 1996. The Company intends to seek an
extension of the maturity of such debt or refinance it. The debt is secured by
a first mortgage note receivable held by the Company with a book value of $50.0
million.
Capital Investments. The Company is implementing a hotel development
and acquisition program, which focuses on its proprietary limited-service
brands, Wellesley Inns and AmeriSuites, and on strategically positioned
full-service hotels. The Company has spent $19.0 million on its development
and acquisition program through September 30, 1994 and anticipates that capital
spending for its hotel development and acquisition programs in 1994 will range
between $50 and $55 million. During the quarter, new Wellesley Inns were
opened in Lakeland, Florida and the Sawgrass section of Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida. The Company is on schedule to open a newly constructed AmeriSuites
hotel in Tampa, Florida and to complete the conversion of an existing Howard
Johnson hotel to a Wellesley Inn in Penns Grove, New Jersey in November. The
Company also has entered into contracts to develop additional AmeriSuites in
Atlanta, Georgia; Greensboro, North Carolina; Miami, Florida and Altamonte
Springs, Florida. Additionally, the Company is evaluating opportunities to
acquire and rehabilitate existing full-service hotels either for its own
portfolio or with investors. As part of the Company's full-service acquisition
program, the Company acquired the Ramada Inn in Trevose, Pennsylvania in March
and will acquire the 340 room Sheraton Hotel in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey
and the 225 room Sheraton hotel in Mahwah, New Jersey in the fourth quarter.
Both prospective acquisition agreements are subject to certain contingencies.
The Company is pursuing a program of refurbishing certain of its owned
hotels and repositioning them in order to meet the local market's demand
characteristics. In some instances, this may involve a change in franchise
affiliation. The refurbishment and repositioning program primarily involves
hotels which the Company has recently acquired through mortgage foreclosures or
settlements, lease evictions/terminations or acquisitions. During the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, the Company spent approximately $8.6 million
on capital improvements at its owned hotels, of which approximately $6.8
million related to refurbishments and repositionings on thirteen owned hotels.
The Company intends to spend a total of approximately $10 million on capital
improvements related to its refurbishment and repositioning program in 1994.
- 16 -
<PAGE> 19
Asset Realizations. The Company continues to negotiate settlements
with mortgage and note obligors, from which it anticipates receiving cash or
operating hotel assets. The Company intends to use the cash proceeds from
asset conversions for debt repayments and general corporate purposes.
In April 1994, the Company received a favorable ruling from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida in its litigation with
FSA to recover a payment to be made under a settlement agreement with Rose and
Cohen. In 1993, the Company reached a settlement with Rose and Cohen of an
adversary proceeding regarding a promissory note and personal guarantee,
commenced by a subsidiary of PMI during 1991. The settlement provided for Rose
or his affiliate to pay the Company the sum of $25 million, all of which was
paid into escrow in February 1994, plus proceeds from approximately 1.1 million
shares of the Company's common stock held by Rose. FSA asserted that it was
entitled to receive the settlement proceeds under the terms of a certain
intercreditor agreement. In April 1994, the Court approved the settlement and
ruled that the Company had an exclusive right to the settlement proceeds. Upon
receipt of the order, the Company used the $25,000,000 of settlement proceeds
to retire certain senior secured notes. On April 21, 1994, FSA filed its
notice of appeal of the Court's order. On May 4, 1994, Rose sold approximately
1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock under the terms of the
settlement for net proceeds of approximately $5.9 million. Subject to further
court order, the Company plans to use the stock proceeds principally to retire
certain secured notes. As the Rose and Cohen note had a book value of $25
million on the Company's balance sheet, approximately $5.9 million was recorded
as income in the Company's statement of operations.
In 1993, the Company reached an agreement to restructure its mortgage
notes receivable secured by the Frenchman's Reef with the general partner of
Frenchman's Reef Beach Associates ("FRBA"), the owner of the hotel. In
conjunction with the agreement, FRBA filed a pre-negotiated chapter 11 petition
in September 1993. The plan of reorganization dated October 21, 1993, as
amended on December 21, 1993 (the "FRBA Plan"), provides for the Company to
receive ownership and control of the hotel through a 100% equity interest in
the reorganized FRBA. A group purporting to hold proxies for a majority of
limited partners filed an objection to the disclosure statement related to the
FRBA Plan. On July 11, 1994, the Company filed the Company Plan which provides
for the Company to obtain sole ownership of Frenchman's Reef. The Company Plan
was later revised to reflect a settlement reached with the limited partners.
The revised disclosure statement for the Company Plan was approved by the
bankruptcy court on October 18, 1994. A confirmation hearing is scheduled for
November 29, 1994. The Company is currently receiving cash payments on its
mortgage notes receivable under a cash collateral order approved by the
bankruptcy court.
In May 1994, the Company acquired a full-service Ramada hotel in
Clifton, New Jersey for cancellation of a note held by the Company. The
Company had formerly operated the hotel under a management agreement.
