Item 1. Business

 

General

 

American Hospitality Properties REIT II, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, formed to invest in limited and upscale select service hotels in the United States (the “Company”). The Company is externally managed by Phoenix American Hospitality, LLC (the “Manager”). Through December 31, 2023, the only business activities in which the Company has been engaged has been the issuance of stock in its initial offering pursuant to the terms of its offering statement that was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2023 (the “Offering Statement”) and to make minority equity investments in ten different hotel properties in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000 (collectively, the “Investments”).

 

Substantially all of our assets will be held by, and substantially all of our operations will be conducted through AHP REIT II OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), either directly or through its subsidiaries, and we will be the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership. Additionally, we will from time to time contribute the net proceeds from our initial offering to our Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units. We intend to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2024.

 

The Company believes that the current hospitality real estate environment provides the Company the opportunity to acquire attractively priced hotel properties or other real-estate related assets either secured by or related to hotel properties. The ability of the Manager to increase value will be based on applying sound acquisition policies and taking advantage of the disparity between the purchase price and stabilized value and replacement cost of these properties. The Company expects to acquire its investments at prices that are less than the stabilized values and replacement costs of the properties.

The Manager is a strategic buyer of hotel properties and brings proven hotel management expertise to each investment. The Manager will apply aggressive expense reduction strategies to each acquired hotel. By doing so, the Manager expects to increase net revenues at each hotel without any improvement in occupancy or room rates or gross revenues. This should create enhanced stockholder value through greater net operating income and increased cash flow to the stockholders while maintaining a high level of guest service.

 

The Company’s objective is to provide its stockholders with risk-adjusted returns through investments in the Properties. The Company believes that the Properties will generate positive cash flow because:

 

(i) Expense Reduction and Revenue Improvement. The Manager will apply cost reduction measures to increase cash flow and repositioning procedures to improve gross revenues upon takeover.

 

(ii) Location. The Manager intends to acquire Properties located in areas of the United States that it believes are business destinations or otherwise expected to experience an influx of travelers seeking hotel rooms.

 

(iii) Occupancy. The number of hotel rooms in the United States has decreased in the recent past due, in part, to issues facing the global credit markets. Additionally, current data suggests that business travel has increased. The Manager believes that this has contributed to an increase in demand for hotel rooms, resulting in higher rates.

 

(iv) Strong Brand Affiliation. The Properties are anticipated to be operated under worldwide recognized brands with strong, global reservation systems, including, without limitation, Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt.

 

(v) Barriers to Entry. The Properties are anticipated to be located in regions where new construction is difficult due to high construction costs and limited available sites zoned for hotel use. The Manager believes this will provide the hotels acquired by the Fund greater market Share than would be the case if numerous competitive hotels were able to be developed nearby.

 

(vi) Pricing Opportunity. The Manager expects to acquire the Properties at a price below the current replacement cost.

 

The Manager expects to operate the Company for approximately five years. Following that time, the Company anticipates selling the Properties for the best possible price, either to an affiliated public entity or to an independent third party.

 

The Manager anticipates that distributions will commence beginning with the first full month following the acquisition of the first Property. The frequency of the distributions will depend on the method of delivery selected by our stockholders. Stockholders who elect to have their distributions delivered electronically will receive distributions monthly, while stockholders who elect physical delivery will receive distributions quarterly. The distribution to any stockholder who has not held his or her shares of common stock for an entire month or quarter, as applicable, will be calculated based on the number of days in the month or quarter, as applicable, such shares are held by the stockholder. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THESE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ACHIEVED.

 

Our REIT Structure

 

We believe that our currently contemplated business operations will enable us to qualify as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2024. Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code relating to, among other things, compliance with the REIT income and asset tests. There is no assurance that we will qualify as a REIT or, if qualified, will maintain such qualification in the future.

 

In order for the income from our hotel operations to be REIT qualifying income, we cannot directly operate any of our hotel properties. As a result, we intend to lease our hotel properties to one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) that are wholly owned by our Operating Partnership. The rent paid to us by each of these TRSs will be REIT qualifying income provided that the hotels are managed by an “eligible independent contractor” and the lease rates do are not “excessive.” It is currently anticipated that the Hotel Manager will manage our hotels. We believe that the Hotel Manager will qualify as an independent contractor. A TRS is a corporate entity that pays federal income tax at regular corporate rates on its taxable income.

Company’s Opportunity

 

The Company believes that it will be able to identify acquisition opportunities that will allow it to utilize its strengths to create above average investment returns. The Company generally believes that its ability to generate profits is grounded upon implementing sound acquisition policies, and that a critical benchmark for acquisition decision-making is disparity of purchase price to stabilized value and replacement costs. The Company will seek to purchase its investments at prices that are less than the stabilized and replacement value, as determined by the Manager, which would allow the Company to make capital expenditures for upgrades and other items to increase occupancy and room rental rates. In addition, through a strategic and tactical business platform, it is anticipated that the Hotel Manager will apply aggressive hotel management strategies to each Property it manages to provide value.

 

The Company generally expects to hold and operate each of its real estate investments for approximately five years, and then to sell the properties for the best price obtainable. The Company anticipates that it should be able to sell Properties for more that it paid for them, but there can be no assurances. If a Property is sold within one year of the termination date of our initial offering, the Manager, may at its sole discretion, reinvest the sale proceeds from the sale of such Property in a new Property. The Manager intends to obtain financing to acquire the Properties.

 

Company’s Goals

 

The following are some of the Company’s goals:

 

  Preserve our stockholders’ capital investments.
     
  Realize income through the acquisition, operation and sale of the Properties.
     
  Target an overall annualized rate of return to our stockholders.
     
  Make distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by operations, anticipated to be _% cumulative, annual distribution, of the price of our shares of common stock.
     
  Invest opportunistically in value-add premium branded select-service and compact full-service hotel in superior locations at a discount to projected value and replacement cost, which typically are in need of repositioning, management and other enhancements.
     
  Provide an investment term of approximately five years after the termination date of our initial offering to enable our stockholders to realize a return on their investment through (i) liquidating our assets and distributing cash to our stockholders, (ii) merging with a public entity to provide our stockholders with cash or liquid securities or (iii) combining with other entities managed by the Manager to create a publicly traded REIT.

 

THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY OF THESE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ACHIEVED.

 

Property Philosophy and Strategy

 

The principals of the Manager believe that rewards should be based on performance, which is why the Manager’s Asset Management Fee is based on the total revenue of the Properties as opposed to another factor such as the total amount invested in shares of our common stock. The Company also believes that the primary key to success include disciplined and aggressive property and asset management, as well as acquiring Properties at a significant discount to (1) projected stabilized value after occupancy and room rental rates have been optimized and improvements have been made and (2) replacement cost in order to afford necessary capital expenditures to improve the Properties to competitive standards. The Company intends to use the techniques to provide it with sufficient margin to improve, manage and sell the Properties in a compressed time frame.

 

4
 

 

The Company intends to acquire Properties, where the hotels are value-add, with RevPAR that is lower than hotels competing in the same class or lower than similar positioned hotels in the Company portfolio. RevPAR is typically calculated by dividing the total revenue of the rooms by the total number of rooms available during a particular time frame (or alternatively by multiplying a hotel’s average daily room rate by its occupancy rate), and is often used in the hotel industry as an indicator of the overall financial performance of a hotel relative to other comparable hotels. Through aggressive management, sales and marketing as well as strategic capital improvements, the Company believes that it will be able to successfully reposition the hotels it acquires and increase RevPAR to competitive levels.

 

The Company also intends to acquire Properties both through its extensive relationship with the broker networks as well as the hotel ownership community at large. The Company expects to be able to transact on both on-market opportunities, i.e. properties listed through brokers, and off-market opportunities, i.e. properties sold through direct contact and negotiations with the sellers. In addition, the Company will also look at opportunistic transactions, such as transactions with distressed sellers or recapitalization efforts as well as mergers and acquisitions deals typically offered through investment banking relationships. All these types of acquisitions generally require good timing and a sufficient amount of available capital. The company believes that the experience of the principals of the Manager and the capital management policies of the Company will enable the Company to acquire Properties quickly and with less leverage than most competitors.

 

Property Acquisition Sources

 

The Manager will engage in competitive bidding situations in which properties are marketed by traditional commercial real estate brokers as well as pursue off-market opportunities. The Manager has a network of resources to assist it in identifying potential sellers of attractive properties. Though time consuming, the benefits to the seller from this “off market” strategy are the avoidance of business disruption, no broker fees, greater transaction certainty and seller privacy. The obvious benefit to the Company is a discount to the market price.

 

Joint Venture Investments

 

We expect to enter into joint ventures with third party capital sources in order to achieve the following objectives: (1) increasing the return on the Company’s invested capital, (2) diversifying our access to equity capital and (3) leveraging the invested capital to promote our brand and increase market share. Our Manager has sponsored five other funds that have raised an aggregate of approximately $120 million from third-party institutional investors and have acquired an aggregate of 16 hotels. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise similar amounts of capital or acquire a similar number of hotels. In addition, the co-venturer under any joint venture agreement we enter into may have the right to compel us to buy out their interest at a time when we may not have sufficient funds to acquire the interest. In that event, we may need to sell the Properties owned by that joint venture.

 

Description of the Properties

 

The Company will seek to invest substantially all of the net Offering Proceeds available for investment in premium branded hotels, which will be located in the United States. It is anticipated that the Properties will consist of existing hotels. All of the Properties are anticipated to be branded, franchised hotels. There are no limitations on the number or size of Properties to be acquired by the Company or the percentage of the proceeds from our initial offering that may be invested in a single Property.

 

The number and mix of hotel properties acquired by the Company will be determined in the sole discretion of the Manager and will depend, in part, on the net proceeds of its offering, the real estate market and financing conditions existing at the time the Company makes its investments in hotel properties or other real estate-related assets, and other circumstances outside the control of the Company and the Manager. The number of investments to be acquired is unknown and may vary.

 

5
 

 

The Company’s primary strategy will be to identify and acquire investments which provide a value-added opportunity for the Company. The Company currently intends to seek hotel properties or other real estate-related assets that have one or more of the following characteristics:

 

  current or projected cash flow in an amount equal to at least a 9% return on the Company’s investment,
     
  the investment provides a “value-add” opportunity through expense management,
     
  the property’s location in an established area,
     
  the property’s affiliation or anticipated affiliation with a strong hotel flag with a national and/or international reservations system,
     
  a favorable location, such as in a high growth area or an area with relatively few competing properties, and
     
  a purchase price that is below the replacement cost of the property, as determined in the Manager’s sole discretion. The Company may acquire investments that do not meet one or more of these criteria.

 

Acquisition and Financing Terms

 

Acquisition Terms

 

The Company intends to purchase the investments primarily from unaffiliated sellers. The Company will acquire the hotel properties “as is” except as otherwise set forth in the purchase agreements. The terms of the purchase and sale agreements are not currently known. It is anticipated that the Company will be responsible for paying all or a portion of the closing costs related to the acquisition of the hotel properties and that the Company will be required to establish reserves related to each Property acquired. The Company may be required to pay various acquisition fees when it acquires hotel properties from franchisees, including transfer fees, affiliation fees and costs associated with property improvement plans.

 

The Manager has formed an investment committee, which is initially comprised of W. L. “Perch” Nelson and Jay Anderson, both of whom are officers of our Manager (the “Investment Committee”). See “Management.” The Investment Committee will have two members unless otherwise determined by the Manager, and the consent of at least three members of the Investment Committee is required to authorize any recommendation of the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee will provide recommendations to the Company regarding the identification, acquisition and disposition of the Properties, but will not have the authority to decide which Properties to acquire.

 

It is anticipated that the Company will own its investments either directly or through special purpose entities; provided, however, that the Company may purchase some of the hotel properties in connection with joint venture partners, and the Company may acquire long-term ground lease interests or limited liability company membership interests in entities that own the hotel properties. In the event the Company acquires a hotel property together with a joint venture partner, it is anticipated that the Company will enter into a partnership or operating agreement with the joint venture partner and the joint venture partner will hold the ownership interest in any such properties. Thus, the Company will only own an interest in an entity in the event any hotel property is purchased in a joint venture. The Company will not acquire undivided interests in any properties, including interests offered through a tenant-in-common syndication program.

 

The acquisition structure for the properties is unknown, and the manner of acquisition will be determined in the sole discretion of the Manager. The Manager or its Affiliates are entitled to receive an acquisition fee with respect to the Properties in an amount up to 3% of the gross sales price of each investment. The Company generally expects to hold and operate each hotel property for approximately five years from the date of its acquisition, and it is anticipated that no hotel property will be held for more than 10 years from the date of acquisition of such property. The investments may be sold to affiliates of the Manager, but only if the price is equal to or greater than the value determined by an independent appraisal.

 

6
 

 

Financing Terms

 

The Company anticipates that it will enter into loans from various third-party lenders to acquire the hotel properties. The terms of such loans are unknown. Although the Company anticipates obtaining loans for the properties that will be nonrecourse as to principal and interest, it is possible that lenders may require the Manager and the Company to be personally liable for certain nonrecourse carve-outs and springing recourse events. In circumstances where personal liability attaches, the lender could proceed against the Company’s assets. The loan-to-value ratio for each hotel property acquired will not exceed 70%. The Manager has not obtained any financing commitments for any properties. The terms of the property loans will vary. The loans obtained by the Company may be interest only loans and variable interest rate loans. The lenders may require certain reserves to be funded and maintained by the Company, including interest reserves. It is anticipated that the loans will have short terms and will require balloon payments at the end of the loan term. The Company will not incur any recourse indebtedness.

 

Target Markets

 

The Company intends to seek acquisition opportunities in value-add investments located throughout the United States. The Company anticipates determining the relative strength and position of each market under consideration by analyzing RevPAR trends, new construction, forecasted rates and occupancy figures and by applying measurable metric criteria to each market analyzed. The investment potential of a hotel in a specific market depends significantly upon where the market is in the cycle. For example, a market that has entered the last stage of a recessionary phase could be expected to begin its recovery by the end of the year. As the fundamentals improve, the value of the property in such market would also be expected to improve. The Company currently intends to seek investments, where the hotels are located in a high growth area or an area with relatively few competing properties.

 

Risk Management/Mitigation

 

The Manager believes that the best way to position an acquisition to offset a significant potential market downturn is through “best in class” due diligence, conservative underwriting and market evaluation and intensive management of cash flow. The Manager strongly believes that its ability to buy an investment “right,” the thoroughness of its due diligence process and its conservative approach to pro forma analysis will mitigate the controllable acquisition risk. In addition, the Manager’s expertise in reducing costs and improving net income should result in stable valuations of the properties acquired even in times of reduced occupancy and lower gross revenues. In the event the Company is faced with an economic downturn similar to that which has occurred over the past 18 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are a number of measures that are built into the Company’s investment and management process that should minimize risk from market downturn:

 

  Cost cutting measures will be instituted at the property level and will not be limited to labor expense.
     
  Aggressive pricing will be used to ensure that property captures the maximum revenue per available room.
     
  Property upgrades will be considered to increase the ability of the Property to compete within its sub-market.
     
  Sales efforts will re-focus upon client/business at other hotels in that sub-market by offering direct, aggressive pricing. This low margin business may then be replaced as market conditions stabilize and higher rated, more profitable business will then be pursued.

 

Property Operation

 

It is anticipated that the TRSs will enter into one or more hotel management agreements with the Hotel Manager to operate the Properties. It is anticipated that the Hotel Manager will operate all of the Properties, but if the Hotel Manager is contractually prohibited or is otherwise unable or elects not to operate a Property, another operator will be chosen for that Property in the sole discretion of the Manager, provided that such operator qualifies as an eligible independent contractor. It is not anticipated that the Hotel Manager will enter into any subcontract agreements relating to the operation of any Property. The Company seeks to acquire Properties that will generate positive cash flow after payment of all expenses, including amortization of any Property loans and payment of hotel management fees. The Company believes that the operating methodology employed by the Hotel Manager will help the Company achieve this goal.

 

7
 

 

Competition

 

Our net income depends, in large part, on our ability to source, acquire and manage Properties with attractive risk-adjusted yields. We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, REITs, private real estate funds, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, which have greater financial resources and lower costs of capital available to them than we have. In addition, there are numerous other entities with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours, and others may be organized in the future, which may increase competition for the investments suitable for us. Competitive variables include market presence and visibility, amount of capital to be invested per Property and underwriting standards. To the extent that a competitor is willing to risk larger amounts of capital in a particular transaction or to employ more liberal underwriting standards when evaluating potential investments than we are, our investment volume and profit margins for our investment portfolio could be impacted. Our competitors may also be willing to accept lower returns on their investments and may succeed in buying the assets that we have targeted for acquisition. Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete effectively, there is enormous competition in our market sector and there can be no assurance that we will compete effectively or that we will not encounter increased competition in the future that could limit our ability to conduct our business effectively.

 

Litigation

 

There are no legal actions pending against the Company or the Manager, nor, to the knowledge of management, is any litigation threatened either any of them, any of their management, or any affiliate, which may materially affect operations or projected goals.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

American Hospitality Properties REIT II, Inc. was organized in the State of Delaware on March 10, 2023 to engage primarily in the acquisition and management of premium branded hotels and other real estate-related assets either secured by or related to hotel properties in the United States. We believe that the current hospitality real estate environment provides us the opportunity to acquire attractively priced hotel properties. We anticipate being able to increase the value of the investment we make through applying sound acquisition policies and taking advantage of the disparity between the purchase price and the stabilized value and replacement costs of the properties. The Company expects to acquire the investments at prices that are less than the stabilized values and replacement costs of the properties. The Manager, directly and through its oversight of the Hotel Manager, will apply aggressive expense reduction strategies to each property. By doing so, the Manager expects to increase net revenues at each property without any improvement in occupancy or room rates or gross revenues. The Company expects to generate positive cash flow from its investments based on a number of factors, including reducing expenses, acquiring properties in areas we believe are business destinations, operating the Properties under widely recognized brands and acquiring the properties at prices below the current replacement costs. See “Description of Business.”

 

Operating Results

 

As of December 31, 2023, the only business activities in which the Company has engaged has been the issuance of stock in its initial offering pursuant to the terms of the Offering Statement and the acquisition of the Investments. As of December 31, 2023, we have sold $6,127,610 in shares of our common stock. We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our initial offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of hotel properties and other real estate-related assets. To meet our need for cash, we are attempting to raise money from our initial offering. The maximum aggregate amount of the offering will be required to fully implement our business plan. If we are unable to successfully generate revenue, we may quickly use up the proceeds from the offering and will need to find alternative sources. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash or cease operations entirely.

 

8
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are dependent upon the net proceeds from our initial offering to conduct our proposed operations. We will obtain the capital required to purchase the Properties and conduct our operations from the proceeds of the offering, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. As of December 31, 2023, we had only acquired the Investments, and our total operating assets consist of $1,035,256 in cash.

 

If we are unable to raise substantially more funds in the offering than the amount that we have raised as of December 31, 2023, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered company, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our initial offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions. To the extent that we have insufficient funds for maintenance and repair of the properties, we may establish reserves from gross offering proceeds or out of cash flow from operations.

 

As of December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding debt. Once we have fully invested the proceeds of the offering, we expect our debt financing to be approximately 70% of the value of our assets. Our charter does not limit us from incurring debt.

 

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Manager and its affiliates. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments to our Manager for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our Manager and its affiliates in connection with the selection and purchase of the investments, the management of the properties and costs incurred by our Manager and its affiliates in providing services to us. For a discussion of the compensation to be paid to our Manager and its affiliates, see “Management Compensation.”

 

We are highly dependent upon the success of the offering, as described herein. Therefore, the failure thereof would result in the need to seek capital from other resources such as incurring indebtedness, which would likely not be possible for the Company. However, if such financing will available, because we are a development stage company with no operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs in order to obtain such debt financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds through a private placement of its equity or debt securities, or secure a loan, the Company would be required to cease business operations. As a result, stockholders would lose all of their investment.

 

Item 3. Directors and Officers

 

Board of Directors

 

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. Our board of directors has retained our Manager to direct the management of our business and affairs, manage our day-to-day affairs, and implement our investment strategy, subject to the board of directors’ supervision. The current board members are W.L. “Perch” Nelson and Jay Anderson.

 

All members of our board of directors will serve annual terms. Upon the expiration of their terms at each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected to serve a term of one year and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. With respect to the election of directors, each candidate nominated for election to our board of directors must receive a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, in order to be elected.

 

Our current directors are also executive officers of our Manager and serve on the investment committees for affiliates of our Manager. In order to ameliorate the risks created by conflicts of interest, our board of directors will appoint an independent representative to address any potential conflicts (the “Independent Representative”). The Independent Representative will act upon conflicts of interest matters, including transactions between us and our Manager.

 

9
 

 

Although the number of board members may be increased or decreased, a decrease may not have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Any director may resign at any time or may be removed for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, or by the stockholders upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting called for the purpose of the proposed removal. The notice of the meeting will indicate that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to determine if the director will be removed.

 

Our charter and bylaws provide that any and all vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any individual elected to fill such vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the class in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies.

 

Our charter and bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting with the unanimous consent, in writing or by electronic transmissions, of each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter.

 

Under Delaware law, our directors must perform their duties in good faith and in a manner each director believes to be in our best interests. Further, our directors must act with such care as a prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances, including exercising reasonable inquiry when taking actions. However, our directors and executive officers are not required to devote all of their time to our business and must devote only such time to our affairs as their duties may require. We do not expect that our directors will be required to devote a substantial portion of their time to us in discharging their duties.

 

Our general investment and borrowing policies are set forth in this Form 1-K. Our directors may establish further written policies on investments and borrowings and will monitor our administrative procedures, investment operations and performance to ensure that our executive officers and Manager follow these policies and that these policies continue to be in the best interests of our stockholders. Unless modified by our directors, we will follow the policies on investments and borrowings set forth in this Form 1-K.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our board of directors may delegate many of its powers to one or more committees. As of December 31, 2023, no board committees have been established.

 

Executive Officers and Directors

 

We have provided below certain information about our directors and executive officers.

 

Name   Age   Position Held
W.L. “Perch” Nelson   63   Director, Chief Executive Officer
Jay Anderson   55   Director, Executive Vice President/Controller

 

Currently, all of our directors are also officers of our Manager and serve as members on the Investment Committee. The address of each director listed is 14643 Dallas Parkway, Suite 970, Dallas, Texas 75254. Biographical information for each of our directors may be found below under “Executive Officers of our Manager.”

 

Compensation of Officers and Directors

 

Our board of directors has the authority to fix the compensation of all officers that it selects and may pay compensation to directors for services rendered to us in any other capacity. However, we currently do not intend to pay our board members or officers any compensation for serving as members of our board of directors and officers, respectively.

 

10
 

 

A member of our board of directors who is also an employee of our Manager or our sponsor is referred to as an executive director. Executive directors will not receive compensation for serving on our board of directors. Our board of directors has the authority to fix the compensation of any non-executive directors that may serve on our board of directors in the future. Our board of directors may pay compensation to directors for services rendered to us in any other capacity. We will also reimburse each of our directors for their travel expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at full board of directors and committee meetings, if any, including meetings of the Investment Committee. We have not made any payments to any of our directors to date.

 

Compensation of Executive Officers

 

We do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us. Each of the executive officers of our Sponsor also serves as an executive officer of our Manager. Each of these individuals receives compensation for his or her services, including services performed for us on behalf of our Manager, from our Sponsor. As executive officers of our Manager, these individuals will serve to manage our day-to-day affairs, oversee the review, selection and recommendation of investment opportunities, service acquired investments and monitor the performance of these investments to ensure that they are consistent with our investment objectives. Although we will indirectly bear some of the costs of the compensation paid to these individuals, through fees we pay to our Manager, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to these individuals.

 

Limitations on Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification

 

Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

 

  any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
     
  acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
     
  unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
     
  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Upon completion of our initial offering, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws will provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Any repeal of or modification to our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. Upon completion of our initial offering, our bylaws will also provide that we shall advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her inactions in connection with their services to us, regardless of whether our bylaws permit such indemnification.

 

Prior to the completion of the offering, we intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of such person’s services as one of our directors or executive officers, or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

 

11
 

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that will be contained in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws upon completion of our initial offering may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving one of our directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

 

Our Manager

 

We operate under the direction of our Manager, which is responsible for directing the management of our business and affairs, managing our day-to-day affairs, and implementing our investment strategy. Our Manager has established the Investment Committee that will make decisions with respect to all acquisitions and dispositions. See “—Investment Committee of our Manager” below. The Manager and its officers and directors are not required to devote all of their time to our business and are only required to devote such time to our affairs as their duties require.

 

We will follow investment guidelines adopted by our Manager and the investment and borrowing policies set forth in this Form 1-K unless they are modified by our board of directors. Our Manager may establish further written policies on investments and borrowings and will monitor our administrative procedures, investment operations and performance to ensure that the policies are fulfilled, subject to approval by our board of directors.

 

Our Manager performs its duties and responsibilities pursuant to a management agreement between our Manager and the Company. Our Manager maintains a contractual, as opposed to a fiduciary relationship, with us and our stockholders. Furthermore, we have agreed to limit the liability of our Manager and to indemnify our Manager against certain liabilities.

14
 

 

W.L. “Perch” Nelson has served as President of our Manager since 2009. Perch Nelson’s achievements demonstrate his strengths in real estate development, acquisition and capital management. He served as Capital Asset Manager for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts charged with capital improvement budgets. At Wyndham, he was responsible for developing and executing the strategic re-positioning plans for the Garden, Hotel and Resort Divisions. Following the merger of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Patriot American Hospitality, Mr. Nelson also assumed the departmental responsibility of the Capital Management and Product Development for all Wyndham International’s brands. He was responsible for 200 hotels, but not only the Wyndham branded hotels but also the franchise products flagged by Hyatt, Radisson, Holiday Inn Select, Hampton Inn, Doubletree, and Marriott. Mr. Nelson, as head of the capital deployment area, managed post-merger growth in the annual development budget from $214 million to well over $300 million.

 

Mr. Nelson left Wyndham to acquire hotels for his own personal account. Using his own funds, Mr. Nelson successfully acquired and managed a small group of hotels. This served as additional exposure to the day- to-day management required to run a hotel. Post-acquisition, he oversaw hotel operations including management of the employees, revenue maximization, purchasing, customer relations, and human resources. Mr. Nelson, as the owner, had a hand in everything related to the operation of the hotel.

 

Mr. Nelson has over 30 years of experience in the Real Estate industry in acquisition, development and the asset management of commercial properties. Mr. Nelson achieved Dean’s list Honors at Southern Methodist University while pursuing a BA in economics.

 

Jay Anderson has served as Executive Vice President/Controller of our Manager since 2009. Prior to joining our Manager, Mr. Anderson started as a Controller with Wyndham International, working in both the downtown hotel and resort markets. He was soon promoted to Area Controller, overseeing a diverse portfolio of fifteen hotels and resorts in the North West and Mid-West, including The Buttes Resort, The Peaks, Carmel Valley Ranch, The Golden Door Spa, and the Boulders Resort. Jay soon moved to the corporate office in Dallas, responsible for maintaining their SAP and Hyperion Essbase systems. He eventually moved to Aimbridge Hospitality as a Director of Finance, where he was responsible for building their reporting and budgeting tools. As Aimbridge grew, Mr. Anderson was promoted to VP of Finance and Assistant Treasurer and took ownership of the daily cash management of over eighty hotels as well as all corporate reporting to ownership. Jay then became the VP of Information Systems, where he successfully migrated their reporting system to Alloso Technologies.

 

Investment Committee of our Manager

 

The Investment Committee will assist our Manager in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by (1) considering and approving of each investment made by us, (2) establishing our investment guidelines and overseeing our investments, and the investment activity of other accounts and funds held for our benefit and (3) overseeing the investment activities of certain of our subsidiaries. The Investment Committee will consist of at least four members, each of whom will be appointed by our Manager, who will serve until such time as such Investment Committee member resigns or is replaced by our Manager, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Investment Committee is comprised of Messrs. Nelson and Anderson.

 

Compensation of Executive Officers

 

We do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us. Each of the executive officers of our sponsor also serves as an executive officer of our Manager. Each of these individuals receives compensation for his or her services, including services performed for us on behalf of our Manager, from our Manager. As executive officers of our Manager, these individuals will serve to manage our day-to-day affairs, oversee the review, selection and recommendation of investment opportunities, service acquired investments and monitor the performance of these investments to ensure that they are consistent with our investment objectives. Although we will indirectly bear some of the costs of the compensation paid to these individuals, through fees we pay to our Manager, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to these individuals.

 

15
 

 

Limited Liability and Indemnification of our Manager and Others

 

Subject to certain limitations, the management agreement limits the liability of our Manager, its officers, members and affiliates for monetary damages and provides that we will indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to our Manager, its officers, members and affiliates.

 

The management agreement provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law our Manager, its officers, members and affiliates will not be liable to us. In addition, pursuant to the management agreement, we have agreed to indemnify our Manager, its officers, members and affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the company and attorney’s fees and disbursements) arising from the performance of any of their obligations or duties in connection with their service to us or the management agreement, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been the Manager or one of our Manager’s directors or officers.

 

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Term and Removal of the Manager

 

The management agreement provides that our Manager will serve as our manager for an indefinite term, but that our Manager may be removed by us, or may choose to withdraw as manager, under certain circumstances.

 

Our board of directors may only remove our Manager at any time with 30 days’ prior written notice for “cause.” “Cause” is defined as:

 

  our Manager’s continued breach of any material provision of the management agreement following a period of 30 days after written notice thereof (or 45 days after written notice of such breach if our Manager, under certain circumstances, has taken steps to cure such breach within 30 days of the written notice);
     
  the commencement of any proceeding relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency of our Manager, including an order for relief in an involuntary bankruptcy case or our Manager authorizing or filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition;
     
  our Manager committing fraud against us, misappropriating or embezzling our funds, or acting, or failing to act, in a manner constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties under the management agreement; provided, however, that if any of these actions is caused by an employee, personnel and/or officer of our Manager or one of its affiliates and our Manager (or such affiliate) takes all necessary and appropriate action against such person and cures the damage caused by such actions within 30 days of our Manager’s actual knowledge of its commission or omission, then our Manager may not be removed; or
     
  the dissolution of our Manager.

 

Unsatisfactory financial performance does not constitute “cause” under the management agreement.

 

In the event of the removal of our Manager, our Manager will cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps to assist in making an orderly transition of the management function. Our Manager will determine whether any succeeding manager possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the management function.

Management Compensation

 

The following information summarizes the forms and estimated amounts of compensation (some of which involve cost reimbursements) to be paid by the special purpose entities (“SPEs”) acquiring from Properties, or others, to the Manager and its affiliates. Much of this compensation will be paid regardless of the success or profitability of the acquired Properties. None of these fees were determined by arm’s length negotiations. Except as disclosed in this Memorandum, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or counselors are participating, directly or indirectly, in any other compensation or remuneration with respect to the Offering. The percentage of such fees that will be attributable to the Company will be equal to the Company’s percentage interest in the SPE making the applicable payment.

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 of the notes to financial statements, the Company has minimal operations and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

F-1

 

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

AMERICAN HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES REIT II, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2023 and for the period from March 10, 2023 (Inception) through December 31, 2023

 

1.ORGANIZATION

 

American Hospitality Properties REIT II, Inc. is a newly formed Delaware corporation (the “Company”), formed for the purpose of investing in hotel properties (the “Properties” and each a “Property”), located in the United States, and to that end, hold, improve, mortgage, maintain, refinance, manage, lease and dispose of the Properties, acquire, own, manage and transfer the loans, and to that end hold, maintain, manage, dispose of and foreclose upon the property secured by the loans. The Company intends to purchase the Properties from unaffiliated sellers. The Company will own the Properties either directly or through special-purpose entities; however, the Company may purchase some of the Properties in connection with joint venture partners and may acquire long-term ground lease interests.

 

The Company was incorporated on March 10, 2023 (“Inception”) and commenced operations on April 13, 2023.

 

The Company is currently managed by Phoenix American Hospitality, LLC, (the “Manager” and a related party). The Manager expects to operate the Company for approximately five years, and no more than ten years. The Company is in the process of offering shares of its common stock pursuant to an Offering Circular that is part of an Offering Statement that has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering”).

 

2.SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a)Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

b)Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing or establish itself as a profitable business. From March 10, 2023 (Inception) to December 31, 2023, the Company had minimal operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to operations include raising additional capital through sales of equity as may be necessary to pursue such business plans and sustain operations. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

 

c)Cash

 

Cash is currently maintained at a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, the Company regularly monitors the financial stability of the financial institutions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

Future investments in the Company are temporarily held in escrow at Chase Bank, NA (“Chase”). Investors wishing to purchase shares in the Company submit the appropriate paperwork to the Transfer Agent and their investment funds to Chase. These funds are not accessible to the Company or any creditors of the Company until they have been released from the escrow account and delivered to the Company account. Chase holds these funds in escrow until the Transfer Agent has verified that all paperwork is in order and the Company has accepted the investment(s), at which time the funds are delivered to the Company account.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2023 and for the period from March 10, 2023 (Inception) through December 31, 2023

 

d)Prospective Ventures

 

The Company accounts for costs incurred in the pursuit of real estate investment opportunities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 970-340-25-4A. Significant preacquisition costs are capitalized and presented separately on the balance sheet. When the property is acquired, the preacquisition costs are reclassified and included in the cost of the property. If it becomes probable that the real estate will not be acquired, the capitalized preacquisition costs are then charged to expense except to the extent that they are recoverable upon closing or from the sale of the options, plans, blueprints, etc. The Company had no capitalized preacquisition costs in prospective ventures at December 31, 2023.

 

e)Organization Costs

 

Organization costs include costs to establish the Company and enable it legally to do business, including incorporation fees, legal services pertaining to the organization and incorporation of the business, drafting of bylaws, and audit fees related to the initial registration and seed capital audit. Organization costs will be charged to expense as they are incurred.

 

f)Offering Costs

 

Offering costs include the legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of the Company’s escrow holder and transfer agent, the reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses of broker dealers and commissions of selling broker dealers. These offering costs have been offset against proceeds received from the Offering in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

 

Offering costs also include various charges of the Manager and other marketing related expenses. These offering costs will be charged to expense as incurred in the future.

 

g)Income Taxes

 

The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Service Code (the “Code”) and intends to operate as such. The Company expects to have little or no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its shareholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

AMERICAN HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES REIT II, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2023 and for the period from March 10, 2023 (Inception) through December 31, 2023

 

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

 

h)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates used by the Company.

3.Related Party Transactions

 

On April 13, 2023, the Manager purchased one thousand (1000) shares of the Companies stock for ten thousand dollars ($10,000). All costs and expenses related to the Company’s securities offering have been paid by the Company’s parent.

 

The Manager pays in advance for certain expenses, such as social media advertising. The Manager is reimbursed for those expenses periodically through bank transfers. As of December 31, 2023, the Manager was owed $ 250,107.

 

The Manager is reimbursed for certain expenses incurred directly, such as accounting. As of December 31, 2023, the Manager had been reimbursed $83,111 in expenses.

 

Investments purchased through a credit card are processed through an account originally established for a related entity, American Hospitality Properties REIT, Inc (“REIT 1”) and are deposited into an escrow account for that entity. The funds are held by REIT 1, where they are invested through a Chase Money Market account until needed by the Company. The Company will receive investment income from those deposits in 2024. As of December 31, 2023, REIT 1 held $4,438,839 in funds for the Company.

 

The credit card processor required a deposit of $25,000 to be held in their accounts due to the number and size of the Company’s transactions. These funds will be returned when the accounts are closed.

 

As indicated in Note 1, the operations of the Company are administered by the Manager. The following is a summary of fees that will be paid to the Manager, or an affiliate, pursuant to the Offering circular. In the cases of partial ownership through a joint venture entity, the percentage of such fees that will be attributable to the Company will be equal to the Company’s percentage ownership interest in the joint venture entity associated with a specific Property. See the Offering circular for further details.

 

Acquisition Fees

 

The Manager or an affiliate will be entitled to receive an acquisition fee in an amount up to 1.5% of the gross purchase price of each Property, including any debt attributable to such Property and any significant capital expenditures budgeted as of the date of acquisition (the “Acquisition Fee”).

 

Asset Management Fees

 

The Manager shall be entitled to receive a quarterly asset management fee in an amount up to 1% of gross revenues from the Properties (the “Asset Management Fee”).

 

Construction Management Fees

 

The Manager or an affiliate shall be entitled to receive a construction management fee in an amount up to 2% of the value of any construction or repair project at the Property (the “Construction Management Fee”).

Notes to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2023 and for the period from March 10, 2023 (Inception) through December 31, 2023

 

Financing Fee

 

The Manager or an affiliate will be entitled to receive a financing fee in an amount up to 1% of the amount of any financing or refinancing obtained by the Company, or an affiliate, with respect to the Property. In the event a third-party loan broker is used, such third-party loan broker’s fee will be paid separately by the Company; provided, however, that the sum of the financing fee and any amount paid by the Company to a third-party loan broker will not exceed 1% of the financing obtained (the “Financing Fee”).

 

Disposition Fee

 

The Manager will be entitled to receive a disposition fee in an amount up to 1% of the gross sales price of each Property in connection with any sale, exchange or other disposition of the applicable Property. Any broker fee in an amount up to 1% of the gross sales price of the Property due a third-party broker in connection with any sale, exchange or disposition of a Property will be paid by the Manager out of its disposition fee (the “Disposition Fee”).

 

Hotel Management Fees

 

The daily hotel operations of the Properties will be managed by PAH Management, LLC, a Delaware entity (the “Operator”), a related party to the Manager. This entity consists of ownership that includes parties that own portions of Phoenix American Hospitality, LLC. The management will be defined by an individual management agreement between each Property and the Operator. The Operator will be entitled to receive a percentage of the total hotel operation revenues, which will be paid monthly in arears (the “Hotel Management Fees”).

 

4.Manager Commitment

 

The Manager has invested an initial $10,000 in connection with the formation of the Company.

5.Distributions of Cash Flow from Operations

 

The Company expects to declare and pay them on a quarterly basis, or as determined by the Manager, in arrears. Any dividends paid will be based on, among other factors, the present and projected future cash flow.

 

Once applicable, the REIT distribution requirements generally require that the Company make aggregate annual dividend payments to the stockholders of at least 90% of the REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain.

 

The Company did not have positive earnings or accumulated earnings for the period from March 10, 2023 (Inception) through December 31, 2023.

6.Income Taxes

 

The Company will file corporate income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in the state of Texas. The Company is subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities through inception. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $1,061,779, which would result in a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) of $222,974. The Company has taken a full valuation allowance for the amount of the tax benefit that may not be realized.

7.Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions through April 29, 2024, the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no events or transactions requiring adjustment of the financial statements. As of April 29, 2024, the Company has received approximately $13.1 million dollars in additional capital through the issuance of shares in the Company and has declared dividends to stockholders in the aggregate amount of $457,453.
