BOYKIN LODGING COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005
(unaudited, dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

     1. BACKGROUND:

     Boykin Lodging Company, an Ohio corporation (together with its subsidiaries “Boykin”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns hotels throughout the United States of America. As of March 31, 2005, Boykin owned interests in 23 hotels containing a total of 6,712 guest rooms located in 15 states.

Formation and Significant Events

     Boykin was formed and completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in 1996 to continue and expand the nearly 40-year history of hotel ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and repositioning activities of its predecessors, Boykin Management Company and its affiliates. Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership (the “Partnership”), is the operating partnership that transacts business and holds the direct and indirect ownership interests in Boykin’s hotels. As of March 31, 2005, Boykin had an 85.4% ownership interest in and was the sole general partner of the Partnership.

     Since the IPO, Boykin has raised capital through a combination of common and preferred share issuances, various debt financings, capital from strategic joint venture partners and cash flow generated from operations.

Consolidated Joint Ventures

     As of March 31, 2005, Boykin was a party to the following consolidated joint venture for the purpose of owning hotels.

                                 
            Boykin     JV Partner        
            Ownership     Ownership        
Name of Joint Venture   JV Partner   Percentage     Percentage     Hotel Owned Under Joint Venture  
Boykin San Diego LLC
  Outrigger Lodging Services     91 %     9 %   Hampton Inn San Diego Airport/Sea World

     In 2004, the consolidated joint ventures which owned the Holiday Inn Minneapolis West and Marriott’s Hunt Valley Inn sold their respective hotels. Boykin is a 91% partner in these two partnerships, BoyStar Ventures, L.P. and Shawan Road Hotel L.P., each of which owned one of the properties sold during 2004. These partnerships will be dissolved following the completion of all outstanding obligations of the partnerships.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

     Boykin has a 50% ownership interest in BoyCon, L.L.C. (“BoyCon”), a joint venture with an affiliate of Concord Hospitality Enterprises (“Concord”), a privately owned hotel investment and management company based in Raleigh, North Carolina. BoyCon owns a 227-room Courtyard by Marriott® in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, which is managed by Concord.

     Boykin has a 25% ownership interest in a joint venture with AEW Partners III, L.P. (“AEW”), an investment partnership managed by AEW Capital Management, L.P., a Boston-based real estate investment firm. The Boykin/AEW venture has a 75% ownership interest in Boykin Chicago, L.L.C., which owned Hotel 71, located in downtown Chicago. Boykin directly owns the remaining 25% ownership interest in Boykin Chicago, L.L.C. thereby resulting in Boykin’s total ownership percentage in the hotel, prior to its sale, of 43.75%. In March 2005, Boykin Chicago, L.L.C. sold Hotel 71 to an unrelated third party for a price of $95,050. A portion of the net proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding balance on the mortgage for which the property served as collateral; the remainder was or will be distributed to the members of Boykin Chicago, L.L.C. The Boykin/AEW venture and Boykin Chicago, L.L.C will be dissolved following completion of all outstanding obligations of the entities.

     Because of the non-controlling nature of Boykin’s ownership interests in these joint ventures, Boykin accounts for these investments using the equity method.

     Boykin’s carrying value of its investment in the joint ventures differed from its share of the partnership equity reported in the balance sheets of the unconsolidated joint ventures due to Boykin’s cost of its investment being in excess of the historical net book values related to the direct investment in Boykin Chicago, L.L.C. Boykin’s additional basis was allocated to depreciable assets and depreciation was being

recognized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. When the hotel was sold, the remaining balance was written off as a reduction of the income the Partnership recognized on its investment in Boykin Chicago, L.L.C.

     The following table sets forth the total assets, liabilities, equity and components of net income (loss), including Boykin’s share, related to the unconsolidated joint ventures discussed above as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

     The Boykin/Concord joint venture has a related TRS entity, BoyCon Leasing, Inc., that leases its property.

     The consolidated financial statements include the operating results of the consolidated hotels under the TRS structure. For the one consolidated hotel not operated under the TRS structure, lease revenues are recorded within the consolidated financial statements.

Hotel Managers

     As of March 31, 2005, Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company (“BMC”) and certain of its subsidiaries managed 20 of the 23 hotels in which Boykin had ownership interests. BMC is owned by Robert W. Boykin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Boykin (53.8%), and his brother, John E. Boykin (46.2%). Chambers Group, Concord, and Outrigger Lodging Services each managed one property as of such date.

     2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation

     The separate financial statements of Boykin, the Partnership, Bellboy, Hunt Valley and the consolidated joint ventures discussed above are consolidated because Boykin exercises unilateral control over these entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Boykin believes that the results of operations contained within the financial statements reflect all costs of Boykin doing business.

     These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Boykin believes that all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. The operations of the hotels have historically been seasonal. The five hotels located in Florida have historically experienced their highest occupancy in the first quarter, while the remaining hotels have historically maintained higher occupancy rates during the second and third quarters. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Boykin’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Condominium Units

     Condominium project revenue and expenses for units under construction are recognized on the percentage of completion method upon satisfaction of certain criteria. Boykin reported revenues of $3,093 and costs of $2,999 under the percentage of completion method of accounting related to the White Sand Villas project for the three month period ended March 31, 2004. During 2004, the sales of all of the 91 available units had closed, the proceeds were collected and the contractors completed their obligations; therefore, all project revenues and related costs have been recognized.

Investment in Hotel Properties

     Boykin reviews the hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Boykin does not believe that there are any factors or circumstances indicating impairment of any investments in hotel properties as of March 31, 2005.

     There were no consolidated properties held for sale as of March 31, 2005 as defined within the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Boykin considers assets to be “held for sale” when they are under contract, significant non-refundable deposits have been made by the potential buyer and the assets are immediately available to be sold.

Insurance Recoveries

     Since September 2004, Boykin’s two hotels located in Melbourne, Florida have been closed due to damage sustained from Hurricane Frances. Boykin has recorded estimated business interruption insurance recoveries in the amount of the operating loss sustained by the hotels since the storm. These estimates for the first quarter of 2005, totaling $689, are recorded as other hotel revenues within the consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, an additional $2,037 was recorded in excess of the breakeven amounts as a result of proofs of loss executed or proceeds received during the quarter. The proofs of loss also included $1,281 of business interruption amounts that Boykin has deferred for future periods and therefore is recorded as accounts payable and accrued expenses within the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005. Property insurance recoveries of $3,700 were received and recorded as gain on

sale/disposal of assets within the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Included in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $7,500 and $4,669, respectively, of property damage and business interruption insurance recoveries related to these properties. The $7,500 outstanding as of March 31, 2005, was collected in full in April 2005.

     In 2003, Boykin disposed of certain assets due to water infiltration remediation activities. Property insurance proceeds received during the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled $2,436 and $2,500, respectively, and are recorded as gain on sale/disposal of assets within the consolidated financial statements. Approximately $1,350 of proceeds were received and recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2005, representing a final settlement of the business interruption insurance claim related to the period in which the remediation activities occurred. These proceeds are recorded as other hotel revenues within the consolidated financial statements.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2005, $1,006 of property insurance recoveries were received and recorded related to water infiltration remediation activities at another of Boykin’s properties. These proceeds are recorded as gain on sale/disposal of assets within the consolidated financial statements.

     Fees due to service providers in connection with casualty insurance recoveries are reflected as reductions in the gain recognized.

     As other property insurance claims are filed for repair work done at the properties, Boykin records estimated recoveries to offset the costs incurred, less appropriate deductibles.

Stock-based Compensation

     At March 31, 2005, Boykin had a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Boykin has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee share option plan. If Boykin had elected to recognize compensation costs for the LTIP based on the fair value at the grant dates for option awards consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, reported amounts of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued revised SFAS No. 123 (Statement 123(R)), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires all entities to recognize the fair value of share-based payment awards (stock compensation) classified in equity, unless they are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the award. Boykin will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective approach permitted by the Statement. This approach requires that any unvested portion of options at the time of adoption be expensed in the earnings statement over the remaining service period of those options. Boykin expects adoption of this approach to result in an immaterial impact on its results of operations.

     3. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

     Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period whereas diluted earnings per share adjusts the weighted average shares outstanding for the effect of all dilutive securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding were as follows:

                 
    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,

     4. PARTNERSHIP UNITS/MINORITY INTERESTS:

     A total of 2,718,256 limited partnership units of the Partnership were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2005 and 2004. The weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 2,718,256.

     The minority interest liability is affected by the limited partnership units outstanding as well as the existence of preferred partnership units which are owned by Boykin. The preferred partnership units mirror the terms of the preferred depositary shares outstanding.

     5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

     The provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” require that hotels sold or held for sale be treated as discontinued operations.

     On March 2, 2004, Boykin’s Doubletree Portland Downtown Hotel in Portland, Oregon, was acquired by the City of Portland through its power of eminent domain. Additionally in 2004, Boykin sold Marriott’s Hunt Valley Inn, the Holiday Inn Minneapolis West, the Radisson Hotel Mount Laurel and the Ramada Inn Bellevue Center.

     The results of operations of the five properties sold in 2004 have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. Interest expense and deferred loan costs have been attributed to the properties, as applicable, based upon the term loan amounts that were repaid with the proceeds of the dispositions. The results of operations of the applicable properties were as follows:

     6. CREDIT FACILITY:

     As of March 31, 2005, Boykin had a secured, revolving credit facility with a financial institution which enabled Boykin to borrow up to $60,000, subject to borrowing base and loan-to-value limitations. There were no outstanding borrowings against the credit facility as of March 31, 2005. Boykin had borrowings of $6,446 under this facility at December 31, 2004. The facility expires in October 2006 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 3.75%. Boykin is required to pay a fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of the credit facility. The facility was secured by five hotel properties with a net carrying value of $53,076 and $53,655 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

     The credit facility requires Boykin, among other things, to maintain a minimum net worth, a coverage ratio of EBITDA to debt service, coverage of EBITDA to debt service and fixed charges and a maximum leverage ratio. Further, Boykin is required to maintain the franchise agreement at each hotel and to maintain its REIT status. The terms of the agreement provide certain restrictions on common share dividends; however, Boykin is entitled to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain its REIT status. At March 31, 2005, Boykin was in compliance with or had received a waiver for its covenants. Boykin was in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 2004.

     7. TERM NOTES PAYABLE:

     Red Lion Inns Operating L.P. (“OLP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, has a term loan agreement in the original amount of $130,000 that expires in June 2023 and may be prepaid without penalty after May 21, 2008. The outstanding balance as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $101,444 and $102,414, respectively. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.9% until May 2008, and at a new fixed rate to be determined thereafter. The loan requires principal repayment based on a 25-year amortization schedule. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the loan was secured by six Doubletree hotels with a net carrying value of $187,961 and $189,333, respectively. Under covenants in the loan agreement, assets of OLP are not available to pay the creditors of any other Boykin entity, except to the extent of permitted cash distributions from OLP to Boykin. Likewise, the assets of other Boykin entities are not available to pay the creditors of OLP. The loan agreement also requires OLP to hold funds in escrow for the payment of capital expenditures, insurance, interest and real estate taxes and requires OLP to maintain certain financial reporting requirements. OLP was in compliance with these requirements at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

     Boykin Holding, LLC (“BHC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, has a term loan agreement. The outstanding balance as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $91,125. During the second quarter of 2004, Boykin exercised an option to extend the maturity of this loan for one year, to July 2005. The loan was secured by six hotel properties with a net carrying value of $65,080 and $65,916 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The term loan bears interest at a rate that fluctuates at LIBOR plus 2.35% (5.04% at March 31, 2005). Under covenants in the loan agreement, assets of BHC are not available to pay the creditors of any other Boykin entity, except to the extent of permitted cash distributions from BHC to Boykin. Likewise, the assets of other Boykin entities are not available to pay the creditors of BHC. The loan agreement also requires BHC to hold funds in escrow for the payment of capital expenditures, insurance and real estate taxes and requires BHC to maintain certain financial reporting requirements. BHC was in compliance with these requirements at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Subject to the terms of the loan agreement, BHC has purchased interest rate protection on the entire outstanding balance of $91,125, to cap the interest rate at no more than 10.25% through July 2005. The cap had no value at March 31, 2005. Boykin intends to refinance this obligation by utilizing a combination of cash on hand, increased borrowing availability under the credit facility and proceeds from additional secured debt facilities.

     As a part of normal business activities, Boykin has issued letters of credit through major banking institutions as required by certain debt and insurance agreements. As of March 31, 2005, there were no outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2005, Boykin had not entered into any other significant off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

     Maturities of the term notes payable at March 31, 2005 were as follows:

         
2005
  $ 94,040  
2006
    4,166

  8.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

          Management and other fees earned by BMC for the continuing operations of the consolidated hotels related to provisions within the hotel management contracts totaled $1,729 and $1,606 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Management fees earned by BMC related to discontinued operations totaled $92 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004. The management agreements between Boykin and BMC were approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors. Boykin had related party payables to BMC of $1,327 and $1,063 as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, primarily related to management fees and reimbursements of expenses on behalf of the hotel properties.

          Boykin Chicago L.L.C. had entered into a management agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMC to manage Hotel 71. Management and other fees earned by the subsidiary for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, totaled $60 and $74, respectively.

          For the three months ended March 31, 2005, Boykin paid a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMC $55 for design and project management services and for reimbursement of expenses related to capital improvements at its consolidated hotels. During 2001, a subsidiary of BMC sold a portion of its business to an unrelated third party. A portion of the sales price is contingent upon the revenues the business receives from Boykin. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 an additional $1 of sales proceeds was provided to BMC as a result of purchases made by Boykin.

          Fees paid to BMC and its subsidiaries for services which are not subject to management agreements are at market prices as determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors. The Board’s market price determinations are based on market checks performed by management and outside independent consultants from time to time, comparative information provided by BMC, and industry publications.

          Boykin believes that the methodologies used for determining the amounts to be paid to BMC and its subsidiaries for management and other services are reasonable.

  9.   STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS, SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES:

          As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were $1,188 of preferred share dividends which were declared but not paid.

          Interest paid during the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $3,108 and $4,024, respectively.

          In the first three months of 2005, Boykin granted 159,000 restricted common shares, valued at $1,452, under its Long–Term Incentive Plan.

  10.   INCOME TAXES:

          Boykin qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, Boykin generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that relates to its non-TRS subsidiaries. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the corporate level entities.

          Upon the effective date of the establishment of Boykin’s TRSs, the subsidiaries became subject to federal and state income taxes. Boykin’s TRSs account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” As of March 31, 2005, Boykin has a deferred tax asset of approximately $10,928, prior to any valuation allowance, related to the assumption of the retained deficit of certain leases upon the formation of the TRSs as well as the cumulative operating losses of the TRSs and their subsidiaries since their formation. Boykin has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against this asset due to the uncertainty of realization and therefore, no provision or benefit from income taxes is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2005, the net operating loss carry-forwards have remaining lives of approximately 17 to 19 years.

  11.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

          In April 2005, Boykin closed on the sale of its French Lick Springs Resort and Spa in French Lick, Indiana, for a price of $25,000. The net proceeds of the sale totaled approximately $24,387 and were used for general corporate purposes.

          In May 2005, the Doubletree Kansas City was rebranded as a Radisson.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

          Boykin Lodging Company, an Ohio corporation, (“Boykin”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that currently owns interests in 22 hotels throughout the United States. Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership (the “Partnership”), is the operating partnership entity that transacts business and holds the direct and indirect ownership interests in our hotels. As of March 31, 2005, Boykin had an 85.4% ownership interest in, is the sole general partner of and does all its business through the Partnership.

          Our primary business objectives are to maximize current returns to our shareholders by increasing cash flow available for distribution and long-term total returns to shareholders through appreciation in value of our common shares.

FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2005

          Refer to the “Results of Operations” section below for discussion of our first quarter 2005 results compared to 2004 results.

          In March, Boykin Chicago, L.L.C., a joint venture between us and AEW Partners III L.P., sold Hotel 71 in Chicago, Illinois, for a price of $95.05 million. The net proceeds from the sale, after repayment of the outstanding mortgage note payable for which the property served as collateral, was or will be distributed to the partners of Boykin Chicago, L.L.C. We received approximately $23.3 million from the initial distribution, of which a portion was used to pay off the outstanding balance of our credit facility; the remainder being available for general corporate purposes.

          In April, we sold the French Lick Springs Resort and Spa in French Lick, Indiana, for a price of $25.0 million. Net proceeds from the sale of approximately $24.4 million will be used for general corporate purposes.

          Our next condominium hotel project at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa is currently being marketed for sale. This project, Captiva Villas, is the final component to the redevelopment of the resort and will contain 43 beach front-units. The units in the new building will be sold as condominiums, with the anticipation that the owners will put their unused room nights back to the resort by contract. Zoning for the new building has been approved. Buildings previously located on the site were demolished in February 2005 and construction of the new building is set to commence once a sufficient level of pre-sales have been achieved.

          At the beginning of September 2004, Hurricane Frances hit the east coast of Florida, where the Melbourne Hilton Oceanfront and the Melbourne Quality Suites are located. Both hotels were evacuated prior to the storm and both hotels remain closed due to the damage from the storm. The Melbourne hotels are not expected to resume normal operations until early 2006, subject to the timing of the repair of the properties, including obtaining required government approvals and the availability of labor and materials. We expect that a substantial portion of the costs to repair the properties will be covered under our insurance policies. Additionally, we maintain business interruption insurance to offset the effects of the closure on our operating results.

          Revenue per available room (RevPAR) for the first quarter, excluding properties not operating due to damage caused by hurricanes and excluding Hotel 71 which was sold during the quarter and the French Lick Springs Resort and Spa, which has subsequently been sold, increased 8.9% to $67.25 from last year’s $61.78. The majority of this increase is a result of a 5.9% increase in average daily rate to $106.64 from last year’s $100.73. Occupancy increased to 63.1% from 61.3%, also contributing to the increase in RevPAR.

          Based upon our year to date results and our current booking trends, we are anticipating that the second quarter RevPAR, meaning room revenue per available room, for our entire portfolio will be 10.0% to 12.0% above the same period last year with the full year 2005 RevPAR up 5.5% to 7.0% from 2004. Net income attributable to common shareholders per share is expected to range between $0.31 and $0.34 for the second quarter and between $0.80 and $0.93 for the full year. With that assumption, we expect that our funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (“FFO”) could range between $0.25 and $0.27 per fully-diluted share for the second quarter and $0.71 and $0.85 per share for the full year. For a definition of FFO, a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and why we believe FFO is an important measure to investors of a REIT’s financial performance, see “Results of Operations” section below.

          During the quarter our Board of Directors declared a dividend on our preferred shares of $6.5625 per preferred share. The dividends were payable to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2005 and were paid on April 15, 2005. The Board did not declare a common share dividend for the first quarter. We will continue to review our cash flow and taxable income projections throughout the year and may consider recommending to the Board the reinstatement of a common share dividend sometime during 2005. We intend to make distributions necessary, if any, to meet REIT requirements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment in Hotel Properties

          We review our hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions, new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located or changes in the expected holding period of the property. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property are equal to or exceed its carrying value. 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 is recorded and an impairment loss recognized. We did not believe that there were any factors or circumstances indicating impairment in the first quarter of 2005.

          If actual conditions differ from those in our assumptions, the actual results of each asset’s future operations and fair market value could be significantly different from the estimated results and value used in our analysis. Our operating results are also subject to the risks discussed within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue recognition

     Hotel Condominium Revenues-

Percentage of completion — In 2004, we recognized revenue related to the White Sand Villas project under the percentage of completion method. The sales of all of the 91 available units closed in 2004, and the proceeds had been collected; therefore, all project revenues have been recognized as of December 31, 2004. White Sand Villas unit owners contract with the resort to allow their unused room nights to be rented out by the resort as hotel rooms.

The related gross rental income generated by the units put back to the resort by contract is recorded by the resort and included in hotel revenues within the consolidated financial statements. Under the terms of their contracts, a percentage of the gross rental income of each unit is to be remitted to the respective unit owner. The remitted amounts are recorded as expenses within the property taxes, insurance and other line of the consolidated financial statements.

     Insurance Recoveries –

Since 2003, we have had several significant open insurance claims for water infiltration remediation and hurricane damages.

We record expected income related to casualty damages in an amount equal to the net book value of the losses incurred until the receipt of additional proceeds is probable and estimable. We consider these requirements satisfied when a proof of loss is executed with the insurance company. Based on the proof of loss, any proceeds in excess of the losses booked are recorded as a gain on sale/disposal of assets within the consolidated financial statements.

As other property insurance claims are filed for repair work done at the properties, we record estimated recoveries to offset the costs incurred, less appropriate deductibles.

Expected insurance recoveries under our business interruption coverage are recorded in other hotel revenues in an amount necessary to offset ongoing expenses. Additional income is recorded when the receipt of additional proceeds is probable and estimable. We consider these requirements satisfied when a proof of loss is executed with the insurance company.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

March 31, 2005 Compared to December 31, 2004

          As a result of the sale of Hotel 71 in March 2005, we received approximately $23.3 million from the unconsolidated joint venture that owned the hotel. A portion of the funds was used to repay the entire outstanding amount on our secured credit facility. Additionally, the repayment of the debt triggered the release of $1.75 million of previously restricted cash which had been held by the lender.

          Accounts receivable related to insurance recoveries from the two closed Melbourne properties increased approximately $2.9 million from December 31, 2004 to $7.5 million at March 31, 2005 as a result of a $7.5 million proof of loss executed during the first quarter. The $7.5 million was received in April, 2005.

          Total revenues from continuing operations increased 1.9% to $55.7 million for the first quarter 2005 versus $54.6 million for the same period in 2004. Hotel revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $55.2 million, an 8.1% increase from $51.1 million in hotel revenues for the same period in 2004. Included in first quarter hotel revenues is a $1.3 million settlement related to a business interruption insurance claim for a property which had rooms out of service as a result of a remediation project during 2003 and the first half of 2004, as well as $2.7 million of business interruption recoveries related to the two closed Melbourne properties. Included in the 2004 hotel revenues are approximately $3.2 million related to the two Melbourne properties which were open during that period. For further information regarding changes in hotel revenues, see the table below which illustrates the key operating statistics of the hotels within our portfolio, including RevPAR. Partially offsetting this increase in hotel revenues is the $3.1 million decrease in revenues from condominium development and unit sales as a result of the completion of the White Sand Villas development project in 2004.

          Hotel operating profit margins of the consolidated hotels operated under the TRS structure for the first quarter were 29.9%, an increase from the 24.3% hotel operating profit margin for first quarter of 2004. One of the main drivers for the increased margin is the recognition of the business interruption insurance recoveries during the first quarter of 2005 within hotel revenues. Excluding the business interruption amounts from 2005 and the two Melbourne properties from the 2004 results, hotel operating profit margins for the portfolio showed an increase to 25.3% from 22.9% in 2004.

          Property taxes, insurance and other increased approximately $0.9 million to $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2005 versus the first quarter of 2004. This increase is primarily due to increased contractual payments to owners of the condominiums at the Pink Shell for use of their units as hotel rooms as a result of the sales of the White Sand Villas tower in 2004. All unit owners in each building have contractually put their units back to the resort for use as hotel rooms.

          Cost of condominium development and unit sales totaled $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2004. As the White Sand Villas project was completed during 2004, there were no similar costs recorded during the first quarter of 2005.

          Corporate general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2005 increased approximately $0.3 million from the same period in 2004 as a result of continued increasing expenses related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are expected to be incurred throughout the year. During 2004, such expenses were incurred later in the year.

          Interest expense decreased from $3.6 million to $3.2 million from the first quarter of 2004 to 2005 as a result of lower weighted average outstanding amounts on our credit facility, slightly offset by increases in the weighted average interest rate on our debt.

          Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures totaled approximately $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared with our equity in losses of unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.7 million in 2004 as a result of the recognition of our share of the gain on the sale of Hotel 71, which was owned by one of our unconsolidated joint ventures.

          Gain on sale/disposals of assets during the first quarter of 2005 totaled $6.9 million as a result of the recording of property insurance proceeds received or due to us in excess of the net book value of the disposed assets related to water infiltration remediation and the damages suffered by the Melbourne properties from Hurricane Frances.

          As a result of the above, the first quarter 2005 resulted in net income before discontinued operations of $15.9 million compared to the same period last year when we experienced net loss of $0.4 million.

          In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the results of operations of the Doubletree Portland Downtown Hotel, Marriott’s Hunt Valley Inn, the Holiday Inn Minneapolis West, the Radisson Hotel Mount Laurel, and the Ramada Inn Bellevue Center through their respective disposal dates or for the three months ended March 31, 2004 have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. Please refer to note 5 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of such operations.

FFO

          The White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in April 2002 defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties and extraordinary items, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after comparable adjustments for our portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. We believe that FFO is helpful as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because it provides investors and management with another indication of the Company’s performance prior to deduction of real estate related depreciation and amortization.

          We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income as an indication of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. FFO may include funds that may not be available for the Company’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

          The following is a reconciliation between net income (loss) and FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

EBITDA

          We believe that EBITDA is helpful to investors and management as a measure of the performance of the Company because it provides an indication of the operating performance of the properties within the portfolio and is not impacted by the capital structure of the REIT. EBITDA does not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income as an indication of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for the Company’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

          The following is a reconciliation between operating income and EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively (in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

          Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including dividends to shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow from the operations of the hotels and condominium sales. Cash flow from hotel operations is subject to all operating risks common to the hotel industry, including, but not limited to:

  •   Competition for guests from other hotels;
 
  •   Adverse effects of general and local economic conditions;
 
  •   Dependence on demand from business and leisure travelers, which may be seasonal and which may be adversely impacted by health and safety-related concerns;
 
  •   Increases in energy costs, airline fares, and other expenses related to travel, which may deter traveling;
 
  •   Impact of the financial difficulties of the airline industry;
 
  •   Increases in operating costs related to inflation and other factors, including wages, benefits, insurance and energy;
 
  •   Overbuilding in the hotel industry, especially in particular markets; and
 
  •   Actual or threatened acts of terrorism and actions taken against terrorists that causes public concern about travel safety.

          The cash flow from condominium development is subject to risk factors common to real estate sales and development, including, but not limited to:

  •   Competition from other condominium projects;
 
  •   Construction delays;
 
  •   Reliance on contractors and subcontractors;
 
  •   Construction cost overruns; and
 
  •   The ability of the condominium purchasers to secure financing.

          As of March 31, 2005, we had $35.4 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $10.6 million of restricted cash for the payment of capital expenditures, real estate taxes, interest and insurance. There were outstanding borrowings at quarter end totaling $192.6 million against our two term notes payable.

          We have a $60.0 million credit facility (no amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2005) to fund acquisitions of additional hotels, renovations and capital expenditures, and for our working capital needs, subject to limitations contained in the credit agreement. The borrowing base availability under the credit facility was approximately $51.8 million at March 31, 2005. For information relating to the terms of our credit facility and our term notes please see Notes 6 and 7, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Boykin Lodging Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

          The credit facility contains covenants regarding overall leverage and debt service coverage. At March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with or had received a waiver for the covenants of the credit facility. No assurance can be made that we will comply with such covenants in the future. Our $130.0 million and $108.0 million term notes payable are property-specific mortgages and have only financial reporting covenants.

          The remaining balance of the $108.0 million term note matures in July 2005. We anticipate refinancing this obligation by utilizing a combination of cash on hand, increased borrowing availability under the credit facility and proceeds from additional secured debt facilities.

          We may seek to negotiate additional credit facilities, replacement credit facilities, or we may issue debt instruments. Any debt incurred or issued by us 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 availability of borrowings under the credit facility is constrained by borrowing base and loan-to-value limits, as well as other financial performance covenants contained in the agreement. There can be no assurance that funds will be available in anticipated amounts from the credit facility.

          Due to the continued uncertainty of the hotel industry and its impact on the results of our operations, the Board of Directors did not declare a dividend with respect to our common shares for the first quarter of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of our credit facility, we are limited to distributing not more than 75% of FFO attributable to common shareholders. The credit facility does not limit distributions to preferred shareholders or distributions required for us to maintain our REIT status. Currently, we expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly dividend on our preferred shares and anticipate that such dividends will be sufficient for us to maintain our REIT status. The resumption of a common dividend will depend upon continuance of the improving performance of our hotels and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant.

Table of Contents

          We have considered our short-term (defined as one-year or less) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We expect our principal short-term liquidity needs will be to fund normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements, scheduled debt maturities, distributions on the preferred shares and any minimum distribution required to maintain our REIT status. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash on hand, cash flows provided by operating activities, using availability under the credit facility, proceeds from dispositions of non-core assets and proceeds from additional financings. We also consider capital improvements, construction, and property acquisitions as short-term needs that can be funded either with cash flows provided by operating activities, by utilizing availability under our credit facility, or from proceeds from additional financings.

          We expect to meet long-term (defined as greater than one year) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, development projects and other nonrecurring capital improvements utilizing cash flow from operations, proceeds from dispositions of non-core assets, additional debt financings and preferred or common equity offerings. We expect to acquire or develop additional hotel properties only as suitable opportunities arise, and we will not undertake acquisition or development of properties unless stringent criteria have been met.

Capital Projects

          For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we spent approximately $2.5 million for capital improvements at our hotels and for technology improvements. This amount included planned refurbishments and replacements at selected existing hotels and commencement of reconstruction of properties damaged as a result of hurricanes. We anticipate spending an additional $10.0 to $12.0 million related to capital expenditures for the remainder of 2005, excluding the reconstruction of the hurricane-damaged hotels. We expect to use cash available from operations and restricted capital expenditure reserves to fund these costs.

          We expect to commence construction of Captiva Villas at the Pink Shell in mid-2005. We are currently talking to various lenders regarding our financing options for the construction of Captiva Villas.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

          We believe that neither Boykin nor its unconsolidated entities have entered into any off balance sheet arrangements which would have a current or future impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources in ways which would be considered material to our investors.

INFLATION

          Operators of hotels in general can change room rates quickly, but competitive pressures may limit the operators’ ability to raise rates to keep pace with inflation.

          Our property operating expenses, general and administrative costs, real estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and ground rent are subject to inflation.

SEASONALITY

          Our hotels’ operations historically have been seasonal. The five hotels located in Florida experience their highest occupancy in the first quarter, while the remaining hotels maintain high occupancy rates during the second and third quarters. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and cash flow received from hotel operations.

COMPETITION AND OTHER ECONOMIC FACTORS

          Our hotels are located in developed areas that contain other hotel properties. The future occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR of any hotel could be materially and adversely affected by an increase in the number of or quality of the competitive hotel properties in its market area. Competition could also affect the quality and quantity of future investment opportunities, and our ability to sell existing properties.

          As a portion of the lodging industry’s sales are based upon business, commercial and leisure travel, changes in general economic conditions, demographics, or local business economics could affect business, commercial and leisure travel.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

          Our primary market risk exposure consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings under our debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates that fluctuate with market interest rates. These debt instruments include the secured credit facility and the $108.0 million secured term loan.

          We have entered into both variable and fixed rate debt arrangements to allow us to optimize the balance of using variable rate debt versus fixed rate debt. Our variable rate debt allows us to maximize financial flexibility when selling properties and minimize potential prepayment penalties typical of fixed rate loans. Our $130.0 million, 6.9% fixed rate term note allows us to minimize our interest rate risk exposure. Approximately 53% of our outstanding debt at March 31, 2005, was fixed-rate in nature, compared with 51% at December 31, 2004. The weighted average interest rate of our variable rate debt and total debt as of March 31, 2005 was 5.0% and 6.0%, respectively.

          Our share of debt under our unconsolidated joint venture of $9.2 million at March 31, 2005 is fixed at a rate of 5.99% per annum.

          We review interest rate exposure continuously in an effort to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. It is our policy to manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates on our borrowings through the use of fixed rate debt instruments, to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements, and after considering the need for financial flexibility related to our debt arrangements. We may enter into forward interest rate agreements, or similar agreements, to hedge our variable rate debt instruments where we believe the risk of adverse changes in market rates is significant. As of March 31, 2005, we do not have any material market-sensitive financial instruments.

          We do not believe that changes in market interest rates will have a material impact on the performance or fair value of our hotel portfolio because the value of our hotel portfolio is based primarily on the operating cash flow of the hotels, before interest expense charges. However, a change of 1/4% in the index rate to which our variable rate debt is tied would change our annual interest incurred by $0.2 million, based upon the balances outstanding on our variable rate instruments at March 31, 2005.

          Using sensitivity analysis to measure the potential change in fair value of financial instruments based on changes in interest rates, we have determined that a hypothetical increase of 1% in the interest rates for instruments with similar maturities would decrease the fair market value of our fixed rate debt by $2.7 million as compared with the fair market value at March 31, 2005, which was approximated the carrying value.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          As of March 31, 2005, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive and financial officers with regard to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)). Based upon the evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

          There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

To the extent any of the Property is owned, leased or used by any affiliate of Seller (including, without limitation, Seller’s Lessee and Seller’s Manager), Seller shall cause such affiliate to transfer and convey such Property to Buyer in the manner Seller is conveying the Property to Buyer as described in this Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has informed Buyer and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Real Property description on Exhibit A-1 may be inaccurate due to surveying errors and omissions, and missing or inaccurate recorded or unrecorded documents in ways that do not in the aggregate materially and adversely affect the current or intended use of the Real Property for the Hotel Business or for the construction of a riverboat casino, activity center, and related parking facilities near the hotel structure (“Use”) by Buyer or Seller (or any of its affiliates) and that the Real Property Seller is agreeing to sell to Buyer and Buyer is agreeing to purchase from Seller under this Agreement includes all real estate owned by Seller in Orange County, Indiana.

     1.2. Non-Assignment of Certain Property. To the extent that the assignment hereunder of the Ground Lease, any of the Contracts, any of the Tenant Leases or any of the Personal Property Leases shall require the consent of any other party (or in the event that any of the same shall be non-assignable), neither this Agreement nor any action taken pursuant to its provisions shall constitute an assignment or an agreement to assign if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or result in the loss or diminution in value thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to obtain any such assignments shall not effect Buyer’s assumption of the liabilities under such Contracts, Tenant Leases and Personal Property Leases in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof. In such event, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer of the Ground Lease, the Contracts, the Tenant Leases and the Personal Property Leases prior to the Closing. If Buyer waives in writing its condition precedent to closing that all such consents be obtained and consummates the Closing without all of such consents, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents after the Closing and otherwise to provide Buyer with the

3


 

economic benefit of any such agreement for which consent has not yet been obtained, all without further cost or expense to Buyer.

          2.1. Assumption of Certain Liabilities.

          7.4 Brokers. Seller shall pay the costs and expenses of any broker, finder or financial adviser which has acted directly or indirectly as such for the Seller.

          7.5 Title and Title Insurance; Title Conveyance; Survey.

                 (a) Seller shall convey to Buyer title to each parcel of the Real Property by a special warranty deed in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (the “Deed”), duly and properly executed, free and clear of all liens, security interests, mortgages, charges and encumbrances of any kind, except (i) restrictions of record, reservations, limitations, easements and conditions of record, if any, as shall have been approved by Buyer as provided for in subsection (b) below (“Permitted Exceptions”); (ii) zoning and building ordinances, if any; (iii) taxes and general assessments, which constitute a lien but which are not due and payable; and (iv) all legal highways.

                 (b) Buyer (at its sole cost and expense) shall, within three (3) business days of the execution by Buyer and Seller of this Agreement, engage a title insurance company acceptable to Buyer (the “Title Company”) to deliver to Seller and Buyer a commitment for an ALTA Form B Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) with respect to the Real Property and the property subject to the Ground Lease in the amount of the Purchase Price, committing the Title Company to insure Buyer as the fee simple owner of the Real Property (and its leasehold interest in the property subject to the Ground Lease) without standard exceptions and subject only to Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Report”) for the Real Property together with copies of each of the underlying documents listed as an exception on the Title Report by April 1, 2005. Buyer covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Title Company to be prepared to issue the Title Policy on or before the Closing Date. Within

10


 

three (3) business days after receipt by Buyer of the Title Report, Buyer will notify Seller and the Title Company of any restrictions, reservations, limitations, easements, conditions, defects or encumbrances disclosed in the Title Report that are objectionable to Buyer (together herein called “Title Defects” ). All exceptions shown on the Title Report not objected to by Buyer in its notice to Seller shall be deemed acceptable to Buyer. Seller shall have a period of three (3) business days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s objection to any Title Defects in which to notify Buyer which of such Title Defects Seller will cure or have removed. If Seller will not cure or remove all such Title Defects, Buyer shall elect either to (i) waive its objection to those Title Defects that Seller will not cure or remove, in which case this Agreement will continue, and Seller shall have until expiration of the Due Diligence Period to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure or remove those Title Defects identified in its notice to Buyer as Title Defects that Seller will cure or remove; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which case, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon return to Buyer the funds and documents previously paid or deposited by it, including, but not limited to, the Earnest Money Deposit (and all interest thereon), and the parties shall be fully released and discharged from any further obligation hereunder. Buyer shall notify Seller of its election in writing within three (3) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice, and Buyer’s failure to provide such timely notice in response to Seller’s notice shall constitute Buyer’s election to waive its objection to the Title Defects that Seller will not cure or remove and proceed as provided in (i) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.5, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall satisfy, remove and discharge from record any and all deeds of trust, mortgages, mechanic’s liens for work performed on or material delivered to the Property, delinquent taxes and delinquent assessments (collectively, the “Monetary Exceptions”) encumbering title to the Real Property regardless of whether Buyer has objected thereto or not. Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Seller fails or refuses to remove and discharge any Monetary Exception from title on or prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer may instruct Escrow Agent to use and apply Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow to remove such Monetary Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has delivered to Buyer a copy of a title search, dated as of May 29, 2003, with respect to the Real Property (the “Initial Title Search”) from Fidelity National Title Insurance Company of New York. A copy of Schedule B to the Initial Title Search is attached hereto as Exhibit G. Buyer hereby agrees that it objects only to those title exceptions set forth on Exhibit G-1 (the “Objections”) on the Initial Title Search. Buyer agrees that it will not object to any item contained on the Initial Title Search as a Title Defect pursuant to this paragraph unless such item is an Objection (such other matters, the “Initial Permitted Title Matters”).

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any new lien, covenant, condition, restriction, reservation, easement, right of way or other encumbrance affecting the Real Property (each, a “New Exception”) becomes of record after the date of the Title Report (other than an exception caused by Buyer or consented to in writing by Buyer), then Seller shall cause such New Exception to be removed prior to the Close of Escrow.

     If Seller is obligated to remove a New Exception, then, if necessary, the Seller may extend the Closing Date by up to five (5) Business Days to permit or arrange for any such removal. If Seller is obligated to remove a New Exception and fails to do so, then the rights of Buyer shall be as set forth in Section 12.3 below. If such New Exception was caused by or consented to in writing by Buyer, then Buyer shall take title to the Property subject to such New Exception.

               (c) Buyer may obtain (at its sole cost and expense) a staked survey of the Real Property completed in accordance with the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ASCM Land Title Surveys including all Table A items, certified to Buyer and the Title Company (the “Survey”).

After making any such tests or investigations, Buyer shall restore the Property to its condition prior to such tests and inspections. Buyer shall conduct its activities hereunder in a manner to minimize any disturbance to Hotel guests, Seller, Seller’s Manager and their respective employees.

If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated, Buyer will deliver to Seller copies of any written reports generated in connection with the inspection activities undertaken by Buyer. Buyer will pay all costs incurred in connection with the inspection activities undertaken by Buyer.

Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its partners and Seller’s Manager from and against any losses, damages or claims (including legal fees and expenses) caused by Buyer, its employees, accountants or other representatives in connection with any inspection activities undertaken by Buyer, its employees, agents or representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be permitted to review or inspect Hotel employee personnel files and such files shall at all times remain the property of Seller’s Manager.

Each of the parties hereto agrees (each a “Receiving Party”), on behalf of itself and its representatives and agents, to keep confidential and not disclose any and all information and data of a proprietary or confidential nature with respect to another party (a “Disclosing Party”) in its possession or which it has received in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby other than information which is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto shall be free to disclose any such information or data (i) to the extent required by applicable law, and (ii) during the course of or in connection with any legal proceeding based upon or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement, each party shall return all documents (including copies thereof) obtained hereunder by such party from the other party (unless readily available from public information sources). The Receiving Party will use such confidential information solely in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. This Section 7.7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and continue in effect for two (2) years thereafter.

Buyer shall employ from and after the Closing Date such of the Hotel employees as Buyer determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, if any, on such terms and conditions as Buyer may determine.

All representations and warranties contained in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in for a period of 18 months and any action for a breach of any representation or warranty must be filed and served within 24 months from the date of the recordation of the Deed. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall terminate as of the Closing.

          11.2 Seller’s Indemnification. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer, its members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all loss, damage, claim, cost and expense and any other liability, including, without limitation, reasonable accountants’ and attorneys’ fees, charges and costs, incurred by Buyer by reason of, or with respect to (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements made by Seller in this Agreement or the non-performance of any covenant or obligation to be performed by Seller hereunder (including, without limitation, Seller’s timely discharge of the Retained Liabilities); (ii) Seller’s failure to comply with the bulk transfer laws of any state or its misapplication of the proceeds of the Purchase Price in fraud of its creditors; or (iii) any liability imposed upon Buyer as transferee of the business or operations of Seller or the assets being transferred under the Agreement, or otherwise relating to the conduct of the business and operations of Seller or the Hotel Business prior to the Closing, except to the extent such liability has been expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement. In no event shall Seller have indemnification obligations under Section 11.2(i) for breaches of any representation or warranty by Seller until Buyer’s indemnifiable losses relating thereto exceed $25,000, and then Seller’s indemnification obligations therefor shall not exceed $250,000 in the aggregate.

          11.3 Buyer’s Indemnification. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller, its general partner and their respective members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all loss, damage, claim, cost and expense and any other liability, including, without limitation, reasonable accountants’ and attorneys’ fees, charges, and costs incurred by Seller by reason of, or with respect to (i) Buyer’s breach of any representations, warranties and covenants of Buyer contained in this Agreement; (ii) Buyer’s failure to duly discharge the Assumed Liabilities from and after the Closing Date; or (iii) any liability imposed upon Seller as a result of Buyer’s conduct of the business and operations of the Hotel Business after the Closing Date.

If a claim by a third party is made against either of the parties hereto, and if either of such parties intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Section 11.4, such party shall promptly notify the other party of such claim. The indemnifying party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the above-referenced notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing (subject to the consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and at its expense, the settlement or defense therefor, and the indemnified party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided that: (i) the indemnifying party shall not thereby permit to exist any lien, encumbrance or other adverse charge upon any asset of any indemnified party; (ii) the indemnifying party shall permit the indemnified party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the indemnified party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the indemnified party; and (iii) the indemnifying party shall agree promptly to reimburse the indemnified party for the full amount of

19


 

any loss resulting from such claim and all related expenses incurred by the indemnified party within the limits of this Section 11.4 and Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be. As long as the indemnifying party is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the indemnified party shall not pay or settle any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim, provided that in such event they shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within thirty days after receipt of the indemnified party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the indemnified party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim in the exercise of its exclusive discretion at the expense of the indemnifying party.

          11.5 Limitations on Indemnification Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Seller shall have no liability or obligation to indemnify Buyer or any of its officers, directors, affiliates, assignees or transferors for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement if Buyer had actual knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing; and (ii) Buyer shall have no liability or obligation to indemnify Seller or any of its officers, directors, affiliates, assignees or transferors for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement if Seller had actual knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing.

          12.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows: (i) at any time by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller; (ii) by either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before April 30, 2005 (provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (ii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to have occurred on or before the aforesaid date, and provided further that such date shall be extended if the closing shall not have occurred because of the failure of the condition described in Section 10.2(e) for as long as the parties are attempting in good faith to resolve the matters described therein); (iii) by Seller if Buyer shall have materially breached any of its covenants herein or if Buyer shall have made a material misrepresentation herein; (iv) by Buyer if Seller shall have materially breached any of its covenants herein or if Seller shall have made a material misrepresentation herein; (v) by Buyer at any time prior to the expiration of any Due Diligence Period if Buyer elects not to proceed with this transaction in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof; or (vi) by either Buyer or Seller if any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.

          12.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, notice thereof shall forthwith be given to Seller or Buyer, respectively, and this Agreement shall terminate without any further action by any of the parties hereto. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, no party hereto shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party to this Agreement, except that any termination shall be without prejudice to the rights of any party hereto arising out of a breach by the other party of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, the provisions of Section 7.7 shall survive such termination. If (a) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 12.1(i), (b) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 12.1(ii), (c) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 12.1(vi), or (d) if Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(iv) or 12.1(v), then the Earnest Money Deposit (and all interest thereon) promptly shall be refunded to Buyer. If Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(iii), Seller shall have the remedies set forth in Section 12.3(a).

20


 

          12.3 Remedies.

               (a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO BUYER IS NOT CONSUMMATED BY REASON OF BUYER’S DEFAULT OF ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT AND TO PURSUE ALL OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO IT AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.

               (b) In the event the Closing fails to occur solely because of Seller’s failure to perform Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right as its non-exclusive remedies to (i) request return of the Earnest Money Deposit (and all interest thereon) by written notice sent to the Escrow Agent with a copy thereof to Seller; and (ii) exercise any and all legal and equitable remedies that Buyer may have against Seller, including the right to require that Seller specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement. In such event the Escrow Agent shall return to Buyer the Earnest Money Deposit (and all interest thereon) and any documents and other monies deposited by Buyer.

               (c) In the event Buyer obtains actual knowledge of any breach of Seller’s representations or warranties under Section 5 prior to Closing, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Seller at or prior to the Closing. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller may elect to extend the Closing for as long as sixty (60) days to enable Seller to attempt to cure the condition that gives rise to such breach or otherwise provide evidence to Buyer that the same does not exist. If Seller either does not elect to extend or, at or prior to the extended Closing, shall be unable to cure such condition or provide such evidence to Buyer, then Buyer shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement on account thereof (as provided in Section 12.1) or (b) to close the purchase of the Property and pay the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but in the case of an election under clause (b), Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 11.2(i) on account of such breach subject to the limitations on Seller’s liability under Section 11.2, which limitations shall be applicable to all claims of Buyer for breach in the aggregate, whether made under this Section 12.3(c) or Section 11.1. The provisions of this Section 12.3 shall survive the closing of the purchase of the Property.

     Section 13. Damage or Destruction: Condemnation.

          13.1 Damage or Destruction. If the Property shall, prior to the Closing Date, be damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, and the cost of such damage does not exceed $1,000,000 and such damage shall not have been repaired or reconstructed prior to the Closing Date in a good and workmanlike manner to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer shall receive the proceeds of the insurance payable in connection therewith under any insurance policy or policies covering the Property together with a cash payment from Seller in the amount of the deductible, if any, and thereupon remain obligated to perform this Agreement. If the Property shall, prior to the Closing Date, be damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, and the cost of such damage exceeds $1,000,000 and such damage shall not have been repaired or reconstructed prior to the Closing Date in a good and workmanlike manner to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer may, at its option, (a) receive the proceeds of the insurance payable in connection therewith under any insurance policy or policies covering the Property together with a cash payment from Seller in the amount of the deductible, if any, and thereupon remain obligated to perform this Agreement, or (b) terminate this Agreement and receive any funds and documents previously deposited, including the Earnest Money Deposit. Upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Section, neither party shall thereafter be under further liability to the other.

21


 

          13.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing Date, the Property shall be subjected to a partial or total taking by eminent domain or inverse condemnation or for any public or quasi-public use, or if any notice of intent of taking or sale in lieu of taking is received by Seller or Buyer, Buyer shall have the right either to (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, in which event any funds and documents previously deposited in escrow (including the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon) shall be refunded to the depositing party, and thereafter, Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of all rights and obligations hereunder and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force or effect, or (b) proceed to close this transaction, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to receive all of the proceeds of such taking. Seller and Buyer each agree to promptly forward to the other any notice of intent received pertaining to a taking of all or a portion of the Property by way of condemnation, eminent domain or similar procedure for a taking of the Property in connection with any public or quasi-public use.

     Section 14. Miscellaneous.
