Explanatory Note

 

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Form 10-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008 because:

 

(1) Pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, we are required to file separate audited financial statements of W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings L.L.C., as of December 31, 2007.  Such audited financial statements were not available when we filed the original Form 10-K for 2007.

 

(2) A complete copy of our Restated Articles of Association, amended as of May 7, 2007, was inadvertently not filed with our original Form 10-K for 2007, and is thus being filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Amendment No. 1.  The Exhibit Index has been revised accordingly.

 

In addition, in connection with filing of this Amendment No. 1 and pursuant to Rule 12b-15, certain certifications are attached as exhibits hereto.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other information set forth in the Original Filing and the Company has not updated disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.

(b)           (1)           The corporation shall indemnify each person who after the adoption of this Article VI is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or of any division of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(2)           The corporation shall indemnify each person who after the adoption of this Article VI is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or of any division of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to this corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

 

(3)           To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or of any division of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

5



 

(4)           Any indemnification under paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation unless a determination is made that the director, officer, employee or agent has failed to meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2). Such determination may be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the corporation; or (iii) if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by a majority vote of the stockholders.

 

(5)           Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in a particular case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article.

 

(6)           The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

(7)           The benefits and protections of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Article shall extend to officers, directors, employees and agents of subsidiary corporations even though such service was not at the specific request of this corporation and shall be in addition to the coverage, if any, provided by such subsidiary.  For purposes of this Article, subsidiary corporation shall mean any corporation in which this corporation owns more than 50% of the outstanding stock or any corporation more than 50% of whose outstanding stock is owned by a subsidiary of this corporation.  For purposes of this Article, the term agent shall include those persons acting on behalf of this corporation who (i) are not otherwise covered by this Article as directors, officers or employees and (ii) have been specifically designated by the Board of Directors or management of this corporation as being entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

(8)           The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or of any division of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.  Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the Board of Directors, including any insurance company in which the corporation shall have any equity or other interest, through stock ownership or otherwise.

(c) No contract, agreement, undertaking or other transaction between the corporation and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or trust shall be invalidated or affected in any way by the fact that some or all of the officers and/or directors of the corporation are interested in or are officers, directors, stockholders, partners, joint venturers, trustees or beneficiaries of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or trust; and any director of this corporation who is interested in or is an officer, director, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, trustee or beneficiary of any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or trust may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors of the corporation which shall authorize or approve any such contract, agreement, undertaking or other transaction, and may vote thereat to approve any such contract, agreement, undertaking or other transaction with like force and effect as if he were not interested in, or an officer, director, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, trustee or beneficiary of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or trust.

 

VII.

The duration of the corporation shall be perpetual.

 

VIII.

 

Service of legal process may be made upon the corporation in the manner provided by law.

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.                            Organization and Business

 

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), was formed on February 9, 2006 by and between Whitehall Street Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2005; 51.4% (“Whitehall Street”), Whitehall Street Global Employee Fund 2005, LP; 13.6% (“Whitehall Employee Fund”), Gengate Kapalua Holdings GP, LLC; 0% (“GHGP”) and Gengate Kapalua Holdings, LLC; 35% (“GKH”).

 

The Company was formed to acquire and own The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, (the “Hotel”) located on the Island of Maui, Hawaii.  The Hotel is managed through an operating agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC (the “Hotel Operator”).

 

On March 27, 2007, MLP RCK LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (“MLPC”) acquired a 21.4286% interest in the Company.  As a consequence initial members’ interest became the following:  Whitehall Street; 40.4234%, Whitehall Employee Fund; 10.648%, GKH; 27.5%, and GHGP; 0%.  Whitehall Street, Whitehall Employee Fund and GKH are designated as the Managing Members of the Company (together with MLPC and GHGP, the “Members”).  Major decisions, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Company Agreement”), require the consent of either Whitehall Street or Whitehall Employee Fund, and either GKH or MLPC.

 

On July 1, 2007, the Hotel was closed for a major renovation and conversion of 250 hotel rooms into 107 condominium units.  The Hotel was issued a temporary certificate of occupancy on December 28, 2007.

 

Allocation of Net Profit and Loss

 

Profits and losses are allocated pro rata among all Members in proportion to their percentage interests.

 

Distributions to Members

 

Distributions to Members are made pro rata in accordance with their relative percentage interests in the Company.  No distributions have been made to the Members since inception of the Company.

 

2.                            Liquidity

 

The Hotel was closed on July 1, 2007 for an extensive renovation and residence conversion construction and reopened on December 28, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred a net loss of $25,764,397 and had net cash inflows from operating activities of $9,123,223.  At December 31, 2007, the Company had a deficit of $37,537,966 in working capital.  Management believes that it will be able to continue to fund the operating needs with cash currently on hand, operations, sale of condominium units and additional debt or equity.  As of March 28, 2008, Whitehall Street, Whitehall Employee Fund and GHGP have confirmed to the Company that they have the ability and intent to fund, if required, through at least March 31, 2009, an amount necessary to meet the Company’s obligations as they come due.  The amount of cash to be funded is dependent upon the profitability of the hotel and management’s ability to close on condominium sales.  MLPC has not confirmed its intent to fund the Company.

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

3.                            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Mezzanine, LLC (“W2005 Mezzanine”), and W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Realty, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Hotel operating revenues are from room rentals, food and beverage sales, spa sales and retail merchandise sales.  Revenues are recorded as services are rendered or goods are provided.  Additionally, the Company collects sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes which are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.  Amounts received in advance of guest stays are reflected as advance deposits in the accompanying balance sheet.  These advance deposits are recognized as revenue when the service is provided.  Interest expense is net of $474,337 of interest income.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advance deposits and long-term obligations.  The carrying amounts of financial instruments other than long-term obligations approximate fair value due to their short term nature.  The Company’s mortgage loan obligations at fair value is advantageous (LIBOR plus 220 basis points) when compared with the February 2008 recapitalization, as described in Note 6, where variable rate debt increased to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. Such obligations approximate fair value. Other long term debt approximates market value, based upon rates currently available for similar instruments. The Company has an interest rate cap that is carried at fair value.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents amounts reserved for payment of real estate taxes, repairs, insurance and funding of furniture, fixture and equipment purchases.  These restrictions are required under the Mortgage Loan and by the Management Agreement.  In addition, and as part of the restricted cash balance, the Company has on deposit, $2,895,700 to support an irrevocable standby letter of credit expiring on July 26, 2008, which was used to obtain a building permit application.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company records trade accounts receivable in the normal course of business related to the sale of products and services.  The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts receivable.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on review of specific accounts that have been identified as at risk for non-collection and prior collection history.  Write-offs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

 

6



 

W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

A significant portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at various financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in this area.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist primarily of food, beverages and merchandise held for resale and operating supplies.  Amounts are valued on a first in first out basis.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had an interest rate cap which is a derivative financial instrument.  This derivative is $4,400 and is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.  The interest rate cap was not designated as a hedging instrument; therefore changes in the fair value of this instrument are recognized in the results of operations in the period that the change occurs.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Expenditures that improve the functionality of the related equipment or extend its useful life are capitalized.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, the related gain or loss is included in the determination of income.  Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:

 

Land improvements

 

20 years

 

Buildings and improvements

 

39 years

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

3-7 years

 

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred in conjunction with obtaining the debt instruments are included as deferred financing costs.  Deferred financing costs are amortized over the respective lives of the applicable debt issues on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method as a component of interest expense.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates potential impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires the Company to (a) recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is more than the value of its undiscounted projected cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  No impairments of long-lived assets occurred during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be a limited liability company for federal tax purposes.  Limited liability companies are not taxable entities under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for

 

7

federal or state income taxes.  The tax effects of the Company’s transactions are the responsibility of the Members.

On March 27, 2007, the Company purchased 49 acres of land (“Hotel land”) underlying the Hotel condominium and amenities from MLPC for $32.5 million plus closing costs.  The acquisition was financed through a debt facility provided by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. The Company was, prior to acquisition, the lessee under a long-term ground lease with MLPC.

 

During 2007, the Company began construction of 107 condominium units by renovating 250 hotel rooms in four low-rise clusters adjacent to the Hotel.  All condominiums will be offered for sale in 2008.  Construction in progress includes capitalized interest costs of $10,521,768 and taxes of $518,956 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Included in furnitures, fixtures and equipment is approximately $152,000 of equipment under capital leases where payments are due through 2009.

 

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,051,077.

(a)               On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 term loan agreement (the “Luxury Loan”) maturing April 13, 2011 with Luxury Finance LLC.  The Luxury Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to prime rate plus 350 basis points (8.53% at December 31, 2007).

 

(b)              On March 13, 2006, the Company entered into a $180,500,000 term loan agreement (the “Lehman Loan”) initially maturing April 1, 2008 with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”).  The Lehman Loan provided for two (2) extensions of one (1) year each, at the Company’s option. Monthly payments of interest commenced on May 9, 2006.  The loan was collateralized by the first deed of trust on the Hotel.  On March 27, 2007, this loan was repaid.

 

On March 27, 2007, the Company entered into a $271,700,000 mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) with Lehman to, among other matters,: (i) refinance the outstanding balance of the Lehman Loan, (ii) acquire the Hotel land, which was subject to a long-term ground lease, (iii) finance the Hotel renovation and condominium conversion, (iv) make deposits into reserve fund accounts for renovation holdbacks, condominium conversion holdbacks, operating deficit holdbacks, marketing cost holdbacks, interest holdbacks and tax holdbacks; and (v) construct the condominium units.  The Mortgage Loan initially matures on February 27, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”).  The term of the Mortgage Loan may be extended for
