Exhibit 99.1

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 gives effect to:

 

    the eight hotels that we acquired in 2005 and the financing transactions that we consummated in 2005;

 

    the formation and structuring transactions that took place at the time of our initial public offering in October 2004;

 

    the sale by us of 4,850,000 shares of or 8.0% series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock, which occurred on March 18, 2005;

 

    the sale by us of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, which occurred on June 10, 2005; and

 

    the sale by us of 4,102,564 shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock to Security Capital Preferred Growth Incorporated, which occurred on July 12, 2005.

 

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, the foregoing transactions are treated as if they had occurred on January 1, 2004.

 

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 gives effect to the same transactions (other than the formation and structuring transactions that took place at the time of our initial public offering in October 2004) as if they occurred on January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 gives effect to the acquisition of the Fairmont Newport Beach, the acquisition of the 75% interest in the Renaissance Washington D.C. Hotel and the sale by us of 4,102,564 shares of series C convertible redeemable preferred stock to Security Capital Preferred Growth Incorporated, as if these transactions had occurred as of June 30, 2005.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial statements and related notes are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent our financial position or results of operations as if the transactions had occurred on the dates discussed above. They also do not project or forecast our combined financial position or results of operations for any future date or period. We cannot assure you that any of the proposed acquisitions will occur.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read together with our historical combined financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and upon assumptions that we believe are reasonable; however, we cannot assure you that actual results will not differ from the pro forma information and perhaps in material and adverse ways.

Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Members and Partners of

CTF Acquisition Hotels (a combination of hotels as defined in note 1):

 

In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related combined statements of operations, of changes in members’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CTF Acquisition Hotels (the “Hotels”) at December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fifty-two week periods ended December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004, and the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Hotels’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Nature of Business

 

CTF Acquisition Hotels (the “Hotels”) represents the combined operations and financial position of four hotel properties as of December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004 and for the fifty-two week periods then ended and for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2003 and as of March 25, 2005 (unaudited) and for the twelve week period ended March 25, 2005 (unaudited) and March 24, 2004 (unaudited).

 

The Hotels are wholly owned or substantially owned by CTF Holdings, Inc. (“CTFHI”). CTF Holdings Ltd, which is the ultimate parent of CTFHI, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Marriott International Inc. (“Marriott”) April 2005 for the sales of the interest in 33 hotels, including a minority interest in a joint venture that owns a hotel, and a management agreement. Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (“Sunstone”) entered into a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Marriott to be a substitute purchaser and acquire the interest in five hotels and a minority interest in a joint venture interest that owns a hotel. The acquisition is expected to close in June 2005.

 

The accompanying combined financial statements include four of the hotels to be purchased under the Agreement. The names under which the Hotels are operated, the location of the Hotels and the numbers of rooms in each Hotel are as follows:

 

Renaissance Harborplace Hotel (1)    Baltimore, MD    622
Renaissance Orlando Resort (2)    Orlando, FL    778
Renaissance Long Beach Hotel (3)    Long Beach, CA    374
Renaissance Concourse Hotel    Atlanta, GA    387

(1) CTFHI owns a 50% interest in this hotel and has entered into an agreement to acquire the third party’s 50% interest in June 2005.
(2) CTFHI owns an 85% interest.
(3) CTFHI owned a 75% interest in this hotel and the remaining interest was owned by LBR Hotel Limited Partnership in which CTFHI has an 85% economic interest. The remaining 15% economic interest in LBR Hotel Limited Partnership was acquired by CTFHI in March 2005.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

 

The Hotels are included in limited liability corporations or limited partnerships which are not taxable entities for income tax purposes. The results of operations are included in the tax returns of the partners or members as these partners or members are responsible for any income taxes. Accordingly, the combined statements of operations do not contain provision for federal or state income taxes.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: buildings—range from 20 to 40 years; leasehold improvements—range from five to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment—range from three to 15 years.

 

Improvements that extend the useful life of property are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs of a routine nature are expensed. When property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts, with the resulting gain or loss included in current operations.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the carrying value of the Hotels’ assets are re-evaluated when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected future cash flows, then a loss is recognized using a fair value based model.

 

Intangible assets, net

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, hotel air rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis with a remaining term of 33 years. The amortization expense is $108,525 for the fifty-two week periods ended December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004 and fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2003 and is $25,044 (unaudited) for the twelve week periods ended March 25, 2005 and March 24, 2004.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Principal and interest of unsecured loans and the demand note payable are to be repaid as funds become available to the Hotels prior to any distribution of cash flows or net sales proceeds to the members. The loans are classified as non-current as the Hotels are not required to repay principal or interest in 2005 if funds are not available.

 

Interest expense incurred on the unsecured loan and demand note payable during the fifty-two week periods ended December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004 and the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2003, was $8,643,905, $8,067,579 and $8,799,279, respectively. For the twelve week periods ended March 25, 2005 and March 24, 2004, the interest expense was $2,422,788 (unaudited) and $1,936,582 (unaudited), respectively.

 

Interest expense incurred on the mortgage notes payable during the twelve week periods ended March 25, 2005 and March 24, 2004 was $3,340,418 (unaudited) and $3,374,336 (unaudited) and during the fifty-two week periods ended December 31, 2004, January 2, 2004 and the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2003, the interest expense was $14,217,195, $12,506,384 and $12,247,117, respectively.

 

6. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Hotels are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of operations. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate outcome of the litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Hotels.

 

7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Hotels’ financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

 

The total fair value of the mortgage notes payable to affiliate as of December 31, 2004 approximates $174,099,000 assuming a market rate of 5.69%, which reflects the Hotels’ borrowing rate available for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Combination and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying combined financial statements reflect the combined balance sheets and the related combined statements of operations, owners’ equity and cash flows of the Hotels subject to the acquisition by Sunstone and under common control and ownership by Wyndham for the years ended November 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. These combined statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of a filing by Sunstone with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

In connection with the mortgage loan agreement, the Hotels are required to set aside funds to pay costs of real estate and personal property taxes, property insurance and capital expenditures related to periodic replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The funds are on deposit with the Hotels’ lenders.

WYNDHAM ACQUISITION HOTELS

 

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily represents receivables from hotel guests who occupy hotel rooms and utilize hotel services. The Hotel’s management maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover potential credit losses. The Hotels’ accounts receivable at November 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 includes an allowance for doubtful accounts of $83,068 and $100,318.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting primarily of food, beverages, china, linen, glassware and silverware and are stated at cost which approximates market.

 

Investment in Hotels

 

Investment in hotels is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 35 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using a method that approximates straight-line over the estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the related gain or loss is included in operations.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the owners of the Hotels periodically reviews the carrying value of its investment in hotels held for use to determine if circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value of the investment in the hotels or that the depreciation periods should be modified. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the owners of the Hotels will prepare a projection of the undiscounted future operating cash flows. In cases when the owners of the Hotels do not expect to recover its carrying value, the owners of the Hotels recognize an impairment loss.

 

At December 31, 2000, Wyndham identified six of the Hotels as held for sale and reduced the holding period for two of the hotels, and as a result Wyndham recorded impairment for the difference between the fair market value and the carrying value of $97,413,237. In addition, Wyndham ceased depreciation on these Hotels identified as held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Wyndham transferred four of the hotels from held for sale to held for use at the lower of fair value or depreciated value (considering depreciation during that holding period). In addition, Wyndham reviewed the carrying value of the two remaining held for sale Hotels and determined that additional impairment of $6,099,071, due to a change in the assessed fair value of the properties. During the period from January 1, 2002 and November 30, 2002, Wyndham identified all of the Hotels as held for sale. No additional impairment was recorded and depreciation ceased on these Hotels.

 

Franchise Fees

 

Initial franchise fees are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the franchise agreements. All other franchise fees that are based on the Hotels’ results of operations are expensed as incurred.

 

Deferred Expenses

 

Deferred expenses consist primarily of unamortized deferred financing costs, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. For the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001, amortization expense related to these deferred financing costs was $859,306 and $773,498 respectively. These amounts were included in interest expense.

WYNDHAM ACQUISITION HOTELS

 

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Due to Affiliate

 

Due to affiliate represents net amounts due to Wyndham or its affiliates. The amounts are attributable primarily to the contribution of assets and liabilities by Wyndham into the Properties, salaries payable to affiliates, and the processing of normal day to day cash receipts and disbursements on behalf of the Properties by Wyndham through a central cash account.

 

Receivable from Parent

 

Receivable from parent is recorded in equity and primarily represents the proceeds of the mortgage debt, which were advanced to Wyndham of approximately $0 and $8,700,398, respectively, as of November 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rooms, food and beverage and other revenue are recognized when earned.

 

Advertising Expense

 

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Properties recognized advertising expense of $1,436,794 and $1,553,274, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of certain financial instruments in their financial statements. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Properties’ borrowings approximates fair value due to the Properties’ ability to obtain such borrowings at comparable interest rates.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Hotels are included in limited liability corporations or limited partnerships which are not taxable entities. The results of operations are included in the tax returns of the partners or members. Accordingly, the combined statements of operations do not contain provision for federal income taxes.

Management Fees

 

Six of the Hotels are operated by subsidiaries of Wyndham under management agreements with expiration dates ranging from December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2016, that require payment of various percentage fees based on certain revenue components. The percentages assessed reflect rates comparable to those available from non-related entities. Fees incurred for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $2,118,684 and $2,474,185 respectively. No Wyndham fees were owed at November 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 for these Hotels.

 

Seven of the Properties are operated by a third party under management agreements with expiration dates ranging from September 30, 2006 through February 28, 2020, that require payment of various percentage fees based on certain revenue components. The Hotel’s management has also entered into various license and franchise agreements related to these hotel properties. Total management and franchise fees paid for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $5,608,026 and $6,340,415 respectively. Amounts due under these agreements of $2,020,336 and $1,241,565 are recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

32


WYNDHAM ACQUISITION HOTELS

 

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

In addition, one Hotel is operated under the Wyndham proprietary brand name, which requires the payment of tradename fees to a subsidiary of Wyndham. These fees are based on percentages of revenue components and were $49,912 and $60,511 for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001. No Wyndham fees were owed at November 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

 

6. Employee Benefit Plans

 

The Hotels participated in a 401(k) retirement savings plan sponsored by Wyndham until December 2002. Employees who are over 21 years of age and have completed one year of service are eligible to participate in the plan. The Hotels can elect to match up to fifty percent of employee contributions of the first four percent of an employee’s salary. The Hotels recognized $94,427 and $117,734 of expense for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001, respectively.

 

The Hotels participated in a self-insured group health plan through a Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (“VEBA”) for its employees until December 2002. This plan is funded to the limits provided in the Internal Revenue Code, and liabilities have been recorded for unpaid claims. Aggregate and stop loss insurance exists at amounts which limit exposure to the Hotels. The Hotels have recognized expenses related to the plan of $2,418,452 and $2,704,936 for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001, respectively.

 

7. Franchise Agreements

 

The Hotels have entered into various license and franchise agreements related to certain hotel properties. The franchise agreement require the Hotels to, among other things, pay various monthly fees that are calculated based on specified percentages of certain specified revenues. The franchise agreements generally contain specific standards for, and restrictions and limitations on, the operation and maintenance of the hotels which are established by the franchisors to maintain uniformity in the system created by each such franchisor. Such standards generally regulate the appearance of the hotel, quality and type of goods and services offered, signage and protection of trademarks. Compliance with such standards may from time to time require significant expenditures for capital improvements which will be borne by the Hotels.

 

Total franchise costs incurred by the Hotels during the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $2,711,511 and $3,016,119, respectively.

 

8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Properties have been and may in the future be involved as a party in various legal proceedings, both as plaintiff and defendant. Management regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. As of the dates of the combined balance sheets, there were no threatened or pending legal matters of which management was aware which would, in the opinion of management and legal counsel, have a material impact on the Properties’ combined results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

The Properties are subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership of real estate. The cost of complying with the environmental regulations was not material to the Properties’ results of operations for the period from January 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Properties are not aware of any environmental condition on any of its properties, which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the combined financial statements.

 

9. Subsequent Events

 

In December 2002, Sunstone acquired Wyndham’s interest and a third party’s interest in the Hotels. Eight of the hotels are managed by Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc. (“SHP”), an affiliate of Sunstone, and five hotels are managed by third party managers pursuant to certain management agreements dated December 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004

 

(1) Organization

 

Techworld Hotel Associates (the Company) was formed on July 11, 1985. The principal business activity of the Company was the development and ownership of a hotel as part of a mixed-use real estate project in Washington, D.C. (the Techworld project). On March 13, 1998, the Company converted from a general partnership to a limited liability company and the partners’ capital accounts were converted to member capital accounts. The limited liability company will cease to exist on December 31, 2075 pursuant to its Articles of Organization.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a) Hotel Operations

 

The operations of the hotel are kept on a thirteen-period operating year which ends on the Friday closest to December 31. The 2004 fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2004, covers the period from January 3, 2004 through December 31, 2004. The 2003 fiscal year, which ended January 2, 2004, covers the period from January 4, 2003 through January 2, 2004.

 

(b) Accounting Records and Income Taxes

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on the accrual basis for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes. Federal income taxes accrue to the individual members; accordingly, no federal income taxes have been provided in the accompanying financial statements. The Company is subject to a local franchise tax which is recorded in general and administrative expenses.

 

(c) Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is earned through the operations and management of hotel properties and is recognized as services are provided to hotel guests.

 

(d) Building and Land

 

Land and building costs are recorded at cost. The building is depreciated over 40 years using the straight-line method.

 

(e) Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

 

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over five years using the straight-line method.

 

(f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

(g) Initial Hotel Supplies

 

Initial hotel supplies required for the hotel’s operations, such as linens, china, silverware, and other expendable supplies are recorded at cost and are being amortized over 15 years using the straight-line method. Additional purchases of linens, china, silverware, and other expendable supplies are expensed when purchased.

(l) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
