Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla reopened on February 10, 2000, after a brief closure due to damage sustained by hurricane Lenny, which struck the island in November 1999. Under its insurance agreements, the hotel will receive loss of income proceeds for the period of the closure, as well as for a six month period following the reopening date. The loss of revenues during the first six months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 was approximately $1,103,000. Included in gain from casualty is income of $950,000 from the receipt of advances against the business interruption claim. On June 2, 2000 the Company refinanced the mortgage loans on its hotels in Key Biscayne, Florida and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

At December 31, 1999, the mortgage loan on the Key Biscayne property was classified as a current liability pending receipt of a formal loan commitment. 2. LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES AND ADVANCES

Total revenues for the first six months of 2000 were $56,922,000 compared to $53,009,000 in 1999, an increase of approximately $3,913,000. Revenues during the first six months of 2000 at Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla were $1,103,000 less than during the same period in 1999. The Anguilla resort was closed due to damage sustained by hurricane Lenny from November 17, 1999 until February 10, 2000. The Company has insurance for the loss of income during the period of closure, as well as for the reduction in revenues for a six month period following reopening. The Company recorded a gain on casualty of $950,000 against its insurance claim during the six month period ending June 30, 2000. Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne increased revenues by 7% in the first six months of the year compared to last year, mainly due to revenues from the hotel's retail shops, which have been operated by the Company since late 1999. Revenues at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) increased by 16% during the first six months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Room revenue per available room (REVPAR) increased by 19%, due to both higher occupancies and an increase in average rate achieved. This increase in room revenues was caused by higher demand from both the group and convention as well as the transient market segments. Revenues during the six month period ending June 30, 2000 at the Company's Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans increased by $1,437,000 compared to 1999. This was due to a 10% increase in the hotel's REVPAR. Revenues from management activities increased from $2,341,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 1999 to $2,783,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2000. This was caused primarily by increases in fee income from the Company's managed operations in Egypt, in particular from the Sonesta St. George Hotel in Luxor and the Sonesta Nile River cruise ships, and from the collection of previously unrecorded fees and other expenses from a hotel which the Company used to manage in Orlando, Florida. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS (CONTINUED) OPERATING INCOME

Operating income at the Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla decreased by $1,173,000 during the first six months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This was the result of a $1,103,000 decrease in revenues, due to the closure of the resort from damage sustained by hurricane Lenny from November 17, 1999 through February 10, 2000. The Company has insurance for this loss of profits, and has already recorded casualty income of $950,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2000. Operating income at Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 decreased by $534,000 compared to the same period in 1999. The resort's revenues rose $1,045,000 during the first six months of 2000, mainly due to income from the hotel's retail shops, which the Company started operating in late 1999. Expenses rose $1,579,000 compared to 1999, mainly due to increases in cost and operating expenses related to the retail shops, increases in administrative and general expenses, and a $400,000 increase in depreciation expense, which is a result of the refurbishments the Company has undertaken since the resort was acquired in July 1998. Royal Sonesta Boston (Cambridge) had operating income of $3,117,000 during the first six months of 2000, compared to operating income of $1,800,000 during the first six months of 1999. Revenues rose $2,092,000 compared to last year, and this increase was partly offset by increases in expenses of $775,000, primarily in cost and operating, as well as depreciation expense. Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans increased operating income from $1,534,000 in the first six months of 1999 to $2,199,000 in the first six months of 2000, due to a $1,437,000 increase in revenues, partially offset by increased expenses of $772,000. This increase in expenses was primarily in cost and operating expenses and real estate taxes. Operating income from management activities, which is computed after management and service fees from the company's owned and leased hotels, was $44,000 during the first six months of 2000, compared to a loss of $870,000 in the same period last year. This was mainly due to increased income from the Company's managed operations in Egypt, which reported higher fee income and lower management expenses, following a restructuring of the Company's Middle East office in mid 1999. 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS (CONTINUED) OTHER INCOME (DEDUCTIONS) Included in the first six months of 2000 is a gain on casualty of $950,000, resulting from a business interruption claim after Hurricane Lenny struck the island of Anguilla in November 1999. Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla reopened on February 10, 2000, but has a claim for lost income for the period of the closure, as well as a six month period following the reopening. Included in Other Income in 1999 is a termination fee of approximately $1,875,000 which the Company received in connection with the June 1, 1999 cancellation of the management agreement under which the Company operated the Sonesta Beach Resort & Casino, Curacao. Also included in Other income in 1999 is a supplemental fee of $2,000,000 from Sonesta Beach Resort Bermuda, which the Company continues to operate under a management agreement. SECOND QUARTER 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 REVENUES
TOTAL REVENUES (in thousands) --------------------------------------------- NO. OF ROOMS 2000 1999 ----- ---- ---- Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla, BWI 100 $ 1,125 $ 1,172 Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne 300 7,635 6,700 Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) 400 9,100 8,289 Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans 500 9,262 8,992 Management and service fees and other revenues 1,558 1,226 -------- -------- Total revenues $ 28,680 $ 26,379 ======== ========
Total revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 were $28,680,000 compared to $26,379,000 in 1999, an increase of approximately $2,301,000. Second quarter revenues at the Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla were $47,000 less than during the second quarter of 1999, due to lower occupancies in the 2000 quarter which resulted from the closure of the resort due to damage sustained by Hurricane Lenny from November 17, 1999 until February 10, 2000. The hotel's insurance policy covers loss of profits for a six month period following reopening, as well as during the period of closure. Revenues of Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne during the second quarter of 2000 rose $935,000 compared to the second quarter of 1999, due to a 10% increase in the resort's REVPAR (from increased occupancy as well as average rate), and income from the hotel's retail outlets, which the Company started operating in late 1999. Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) increased revenues by 10% compared to last year's second quarter, due to a 10% increase in average rate, and a slight increase in occupancy. Revenues during the second quarter of 2000 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans increased by $270,000 to $9,262,000 compared to 1999, due to a 7% increase in average room rate achieved. Revenues from management activities increased from $1,226,000 during the second quarter of 1999 to $1,558,000 in the second quarter of 2000, because of increased fee income from the Company's managed operations in Egypt and from the collection of previously unrecorded fees and expenses from a hotel in Orlando, Florida, which the Company operated before under a management agreement. 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS (CONTINUED) OPERATING INCOME
OPERATING INCOME (in thousands) ------------------------- 2000 1999 ---- ---- Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla, BWI $ (409) $ (330) Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne 896 784 Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) 2,771 2,120 Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans 978 723 ------- ------- Operating income from hotels after management and service fees 4,236 3,297 Management activities and other 119 (480) ------- ------- Operating income $ 4,355 $ 2,817 ======= =======
Operating income for the second quarter of 2000 was $4,355,000, compared to operating income of $2,817,000 in 1999, an increase of approximately $1,538,000. Operating loss at the Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla increased from $330,000 during the second quarter of 1999 to $409,000 during the second quarter of 2000, due to a reduction in revenues of $47,000 in the 2000 quarter compared to 1999. Business levels during the second quarter of 2000 were less than anticipated due to the lingering effects of the closure of the hotel from November 17, 1999 to February 10, 2000 due to damage sustained to the resort by hurricane Lenny. This loss of income is covered by insurance. Second quarter 2000 operating income at Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne increased by $112,000 compared to 1999. Increased revenues of $935,000 during the second quarter were partially offset by increased cost and operating expenses related to the hotels' retail outlets, which the Company started operating in late 1999, and by increased administrative and general and depreciation expenses. Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) increased operating income by $651,000 in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1999, as revenues increased by $811,000, and expenses rose by only $160,000, or a modest 2 1/2%. Operating income at Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans in the 2000 second quarter increased by $255,000 compared to 1999, due to a $270,000 increase in revenues. In the second quarter of 2000 the Company had operating income of $119,000 from management activities, compared to a loss of $480,000 during the 1999 second quarter. This was mainly due to the collection of previously unrecorded fees and the recovery of expenses from a hotel in Orlando, Florida which the Company used to operate under a management agreement. Also, the Company incurred costs related to a restructuring of the management of its Egyptian operations during the second quarter of 1999. OTHER INCOME (DEDUCTIONS) Included in the second quarter of 2000 is a gain from casualty of $450,000 resulting from a business interruption claim for Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla, which was closed from November 17, 1999 to February 10, 2000, from damage sustained by hurricane Lenny. Included in Other income in 1999 is a termination fee of approximately $1,875,000 which the Company received in connection with the June 1, 1999 cancellation of the management agreement under which the Company operated the Sonesta Beach Resort & Casino, Curacao. Also included in Other income in 1999 is a supplemental fee of $2,000,000 from Sonesta Beach Resort Bermuda, which the Company continues to operate under a management agreement. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS (CONTINUED) Interest expense increased by $207,000 during the second quarter of 2000 due to the additional expense incurred following the refinancing in June 2000 of mortgage loans on both the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) and Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne. Interest income increased in the second quarter of 2000 due to income received on the short term investment of the refinancing proceeds. The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $274,000 (net of federal and state taxes) in June 2000, which represents the write-off of unamortized loan costs and the payment of a prepayment penalty, in connection with the refinancing of its Cambridge and Key Biscayne hotel's mortgage loans. FEDERAL, FOREIGN AND STATE INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes during the first six months of 2000 was higher than the statutory rate due to state taxes provided on the Company's income from its operations in Louisiana, Florida and Massachusetts. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $32,498,000 at June 30, 2000. The Company also has $7,000,000 available under two lines of credit, and no amounts were outstanding under these lines at June 30, 2000. In June 2000, the Company refinanced the mortgage loans on its hotels in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Key Biscayne, Florida. The net proceeds from this refinancing were $27,055,000, and the Company intends to use these proceeds for improvements to the Key Biscayne property, and to fund its expansion plans. The Company believes that its present cash balances, plus available borrowing capacity and the expected cash flow generated during the remainder of the calendar year 2000, will be more than adequate to meet all of its obligations. 15 PART I - ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
