1.    Organization:

 

Wyndham International, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Wyndham” or the “Company”) is a fully integrated and multi-branded hotel enterprise that operates primarily in the upper upscale and luxury segments. Through a series of acquisitions, Wyndham has since 1995 grown from 20 hotels to become one of the largest U.S. based hotel owners/operators. As of June 30, 2004, Wyndham owned interests in 80 hotels with over 24,500 guestrooms and leased 4 hotels from third parties with over 840 guestrooms. In addition, Wyndham managed 27 hotels for third party owners with over 7,700 guestrooms, franchised 47 hotels with over 9,700 guestrooms and has a strategic alliance with a third party for 6 hotels with over 1,900 guestrooms.

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as amended.

 

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wyndham, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies in which Wyndham owns a controlling interest, after the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

 

Partnerships, Corporations and Limited Liability Companies—The condition for control is the ownership of a majority voting interest. Also, in January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) which requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The Company adopted FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004.

Stock Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and intends to continue to do so. At June 30, 2004, no stock-based employee compensation cost is charged to earnings for options, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. If the compensation cost for the Company’s stock option-based compensation plans had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the method pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), the Company’s net loss and loss per common share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The Company reviews the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite lives including management contracts and leasehold costs whenever events or changes in circumstances arise that indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset that the Company expects to hold and use may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future cash outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of its intangible assets to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that a revision of the remaining amortization period is warranted.

 

Notes Receivable From Former Senior Executive Officers

 

The Company assumed note receivables from four former senior executive officers. As part of these senior executive officers’ amended employment contracts and separation agreements, the maturity dates of these notes were extended to dates ranging from July 2004 through April 2006. Two notes became due during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and were foreclosed upon and written-off and the associated shares of the Company’s class A common stock used as collateral for the notes were cancelled. These notes and related accrued interest were previously included in shareholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2004, the remaining promissory notes had an outstanding balance of $9,377, including accrued interest.

 

Recent Pronouncements—In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46. The objective of FIN 46 is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidated financial statements. A company that holds a variable interest in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the company’s interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosure by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The disclosure provisions of FIN 46 became effective upon issuance. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to VIE’s created after January 31, 2003 and in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after March 15, 2004 to existing VIE’s. The Company did not establish any variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. The Company adopted FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. The Company believes that its interest in one management contract (Wyndham Anatole) is a VIE where the Company is the primary beneficiary, which requires consolidation under FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. In the unlikely event that the Company terminated the management contract and all of the underlying assets related to this contract had no value, the Company estimates that its maximum exposure to loss would be approximately $90,561, representing the net carrying value of the Company’s initial investments in the management contract and the two previously issued notes receivable. However, the Company expects to recover the recorded amount of the investment in the Wyndham Anatole. See note 3 below for the condensed financial information of the Wyndham Anatole as of June 30, 2004.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS 150 specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. SFAS 150 is effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, SFAS 150 goes into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity. For contracts that were created or modified before May 31, 2003 and still exist at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, entities should record the transition to SFAS 150 by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. SFAS 150 prohibits entities from restating financial statements for earlier years presented. On October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred the provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 of SFAS 150 as they apply to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Those provisions require that mandatorily redeemable minority interests within the scope of SFAS 150 be classified as a liability on a parent company’s financial statement in certain situations, including when a finite-lived entity is consolidated. The deferral of those provisions is expected to remain in effect while certain issues are addressed in either Phase II of the FASB’s Liabilities and Equity project or Phase II of the FASB’s Business Combinations Project. However, the FASB did not defer the disclosure provisions relating to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS 150, if the Company liquidates the consolidated subsidiaries in which there exists a minority interest, the Company would be required to pay approximately $11,153 in cash. Such amount is lower than the carrying amount of the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries by $4,373.

 

Reclassification—Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on previously reported amounts of income or accumulated deficits.

 

2.    Disposition of Assets

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold its investments in thirteen hotels and certain undeveloped land in separate transactions. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $60,733, after the repayment of mortgage debt of $101,189. The Company recorded a net gain of $1,144 as a result of these asset sales. Also, $49,464 of the net cash proceeds was used by the Company to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and the Company retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.

 

On April 1, 2004, leases on six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties were terminated and the properties were converted to long-term franchises. Assets of approximately $22,000, which represented the lease’s remaining book value, were considered impaired and written-off as of December 31, 2003.

 

On June 14, 2004, the Company announced that The Ireland Companies have contracted to purchase and redevelop the former Wyndham Bonaventure Resort & Spa in Weston, Fla. The Ireland Companies, led by Thomas K. Ireland, the resort’s original developer, intends to redevelop the resort into 252 luxury residences through a $75 million redevelopment, complete with the addition of a 48,000-square-foot Golden Door® spa—Wyndham’s largest spa and the first Golden Door on the East Coast. The two parties will also enter into an agreement for Wyndham to manage the resort. The new project, the Wyndham Resort & Golden Door Spa at Weston, Florida, will be redeveloped over a period of 18 months, with renovations planned to begin September 2004 and expected to be completed in late 2005. This hotel is classified as held for sale at June 30, 2004 and the operations are included in discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

On June 25, 2004, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Highland Hospitality Corporation to sell four hotel properties for approximately $227 million. All net proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down debt. The agreement outlines the sale of two non-proprietary assets and two non-strategic Wyndham-branded assets. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2004 and the two Wyndham-branded assets will be re-branded to a third party brand. These hotels are classified as held for sale at June 30, 2004 and their operations are included in discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

On August 3, 2004, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Lone Star U.S. Acquisitions LLC to sell seven hotel properties. Four non-proprietary and three Wyndham-branded assets are included in the sale. All seven assets will continue to be managed by the Company pursuant to a new management services agreement, as well as retain their respective brand flags. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the net proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down debt. These hotels are classified as held for sale at June 30, 2004 and their operations are included in discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

The Company has developed a strategic plan to sell 33 non-strategic assets in de-leveraging transactions and will use the proceeds to reduce debt and overall leverage. This plan is designed to help facilitate a refinancing of our corporate credit facilities prior to the April 2006 maturity date. As a result of this plan, the Company recorded a $301 million asset impairment based upon the expected net proceeds to be received. Of the assets included in the plan, 30 assets will continue to be held for use until such time as the Company can determine that they will be sold within a 12 month period. The remaining assets were previously and will continue to be classified as held for sale.

 

3.    Investment in Wyndham Anatole

 

The Company adopted FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. Pursuant to the adoption of FIN 46, the Company evaluated its joint ventures, management and franchise contracts to determine whether any agreements qualify as a VIE and whether, as such, they meet the criteria of a primary beneficiary. Wyndham identified the Wyndham Anatole management contract as a VIE and Wyndham was identified as the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Wyndham Anatole has been included in Wyndham’s consolidated financial statements. The Wyndham Anatole management contract has the following provisions:

 

  Wyndham will secure a letter of credit in the amount of $21 million which can be drawn by the owner if net operating income (“NOI”) generated by the hotel is insufficient to pay the primary debt service and first portion of the owner’s priority return. This letter of credit will be renewed annually, but if there are any amounts drawn against the letter of credit, only the remaining balance will be renewed.

 

  NOI will be distributed as follows:

 

  First, to the payment of debt service on the hotel’s first mortgage;

 

  Second, to pay a preferred return to the owner (the amounts due under the debt service and owner return shall not exceed $28 million);

 

  Third, to the payment of current and accrued interest on the Wyndham loans;

 

  Fourth, to pay Wyndham a base management fee in an amount equal to 2% of gross revenues;

 

  Fifth, to pay any owner accrued amount (as defined in the management agreement);

 

  Sixth, to pay Wyndham an incentive management fee equal to 40% of NOI; and,

 

  Seventh, any remaining NOI shall be distributed 50% to the owner and 50% to Wyndham.

  If the hotel is sold during the 11th to 20th year of the contract, the sales proceeds (after the payment of closing costs and expenses) will be distributed as follows:

 

  First, $330 million would be paid to the hotel’s lender to satisfy the repayment of mortgage debt and as a priority return to the owner;

 

  Second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on, and the principal of, the Wyndham loans;

 

  Third, to the payment of any unpaid owner accrued amount;

 

  Fourth, to the payment to Wyndham of the unamortized portion of 50% of $67 million (the amount paid to the owner at the inception of the agreement); and,

 

  Fifth, 50% to the owner and 50% to Wyndham.

 

The Wyndham Anatole management contract met the FIN 46 criteria for consolidation into Wyndham’s financial statements due to the requirement that Wyndham reimburse the owner for any shortfall in the payment of mortgage debt and the owner’s preferred return prior to payment of management fees. This reimbursement is limited to $21 million and is backed by a letter of credit. This $21 million letter of credit triggers consolidation due to Wyndham being exposed to the majority of the risks of loss. In July 2004, $2.3 million was drawn against this letter of credit. The Company estimates that during 2004 the total shortfall could range from $5 million to $7 million. Even though Wyndham’s risk of loss is limited solely to the $21 million, the Company’s projections indicate that it is a remote possibility that the property will not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to cover debt service during the term of the management contract and therefore the owner has no risk of loss.

 

The Company consolidated the Wyndham Anatole as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This consolidation results in an increase of $314.5 million in consolidated Wyndham assets. Wyndham’s balance sheet also reflects the Wyndham Anatole mortgage debt and capital lease obligations of $170.3 million even though Wyndham is not a party to nor guarantor of this debt or capital lease obligations. Wyndham’s net loss does not change as a result of the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole as profit is 100% attributable to the owner and recorded as minority interest.

(5) The loan is collateralized by four hotel properties with a net book value of $212,357 as of June 30, 2004. The Company must make scheduled amortization payments as set forth in the loan agreement. The loan agreement provides that the Company can elect to extend the term of the loan for one additional twelve month period, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control.

 

(6) The loan is collateralized by three hotel properties with a net book value of $101,977 as of June 30, 2004. The Company must make scheduled amortization payments as set forth in the loan agreement. The loan agreement provides that the Company can elect to extend the term of the loan for one additional twelve month period, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control. Currently, LIBOR is below the minimum interest rate pursuant to the agreement, therefore, the rate is fixed at 8% until such time as the LIBOR rate rises above the minimum.

 

(7) The loan is collateralized by seventeen hotel properties with a net book value of $548,876 as of June 30, 2004. The Company must make scheduled amortization payments as set forth in the loan agreement. The loan agreement provides that the Company can elect to extend the term of the loan for three additional twelve month periods, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control. The interest rate is the sum of (x) the greater of (i) LIBOR or (ii) 2.5% plus (y) the then effective spread as set forth in the loan agreement. The current spread is 4.98% and LIBOR is less than 2.5%, which results in a current interest rate of 7.48%. The interest rate is adjustable as LIBOR and the spread changes over the life of the loan. Over the life of the loan, the average spread is 5%.

 

(8) The loan is collateralized by one hotel with a net book value of $94,825 as of June 30, 2004. The interest rate has a 2% LIBOR floor. The loan agreement provides that the Company can elect to extend the term of the loan for three additional twelve month periods, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control.

 

(9) The loan is collateralized by four hotel properties with a net book value of $106,695 as of June 30, 2004. The loan agreement provides that the Company can elect to extend the term of the loan for three additional twelve month periods, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control.

 

(10) The hotels were sold on January 30, 2004, and the debt was assumed in full by the purchaser.

 

(11) The loans are collateralized by seven hotel properties and a parcel of land with a net book value of $556,703 as of June 30, 2004.

 

(12) Interest rates range from fixed rates of 9.08% to 9.11% and variable rates of LIBOR plus 1.5% to LIBOR plus 4.5%. The mortgages have a weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2004 of 4.92%. Maturity dates range from 2005 through 2023.

 

(13) The loan is collateralized by the Anatole hotel with a net book value of $268,120 as of June 30, 2004. The Company is not party to nor guarantor of this loan. (See note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

(1) In April 2004, the Company extended the last mortgage maturing in 2004. Remaining amounts due in 2004 are normal principal amortization.

 

(2) The Company can elect to extend $741,165 ($484,924 for three additional twelve month periods and $256,241 for one additional twelve month period, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control.) The remaining maturities represent $139,385 related to separate loans collateralized by the Wyndham El Conquistador and the Wyndham Reach and normal principal amortization. The Company believes it will be able to refinance these two loans prior to maturity.

 

(3) The Company can elect to extend $35,000 for three additional twelve month periods, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control.

 

(4) The Wyndham Anatole debt of $170,300 is included, however, the Company is not a party to nor guarantor of this debt (see note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

On April 30, 2004, the Company extended an $18,000 mortgage secured by one hotel, after paydown of $6.3 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.5% and has a maturity date of May 1, 2006.

 

On June 22, 2004, the Company completed a $35,000 mortgage financing secured by four hotel properties. The loan which was made by Credit Suisse First Boston Inc., bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.2% and has an initial maturity date of July 9, 2006. The Company may extend the maturity date of the loan for three additional twelve month periods, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within the Company’s control.

 

5.    Derivatives:

 

The Company manages its debt portfolio by using interest rate caps and swaps to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates. The fair value of interest rate hedge contracts is estimated based on quotes from the market makers of these instruments and represents the estimated amounts the Company would expect to receive or pay to terminate the contracts. Credit and market risk exposures are limited to the net interest differentials and counterparty risk. At June 30, 2004, the estimated fair value of the interest rate hedges represented a liability of $30,782.

For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded a gain of $9,516 for the change in the fair market value of the ineffective interest rate hedge contracts through earnings, and a charge of $149 (net of taxes of $99) to other comprehensive income for the change in the fair market value of the effective interest rate hedge contracts. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded amortization of $890 (net of taxes of $594) to earnings as a reduction of the transitional adjustment that was recorded in other comprehensive income in 2001. Additionally, the Company paid $12,368 in settlement payments for the ineffective hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

 

On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, it designates the derivative as a hedge of (a) a forecasted transaction or (b) the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a “cash flow hedge”). Currently, the Company has only entered into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction (e.g., until periodic settlements of a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the changes in the fair value of the derivative exceed the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction) is recorded in current-period earnings. Changes in the fair value of non-hedging instruments are reported in current-period earnings.

 

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to (1) specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or (2) specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses (both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. When it is determined that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

 

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item (including hedged items such as firm commitments or forecasted transactions); (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

 

When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur in the originally expected period, the gain or loss on the derivative remains in accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. However, if it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter, the gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income will be recognized immediately in earnings. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company will carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the fair value in current-period earnings.

8.    Commitments and Contingencies:

 

On May 7, 1999, Doris Johnson and Charles Dougherty filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California against Patriot, Wyndham, their respective operating partnerships and PaineWebber Group, Inc. This action, Johnson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2153, was commenced on behalf of all former holders of Bay Meadows stock during a class period from June 2, 1997 to the date of filing. The action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that the purported class members were wrongfully induced to tender their shares as part of the Patriot/Bay Meadows merger based on a fraudulent prospectus. The action seeks unspecified damages and further alleges that defendants continued to defraud shareholders about their intentions to acquire numerous hotels and saddle the Company with massive debt during the class period. Three other actions against the same defendants subsequently were filed in the Northern District of California: (i) Ansell v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2239 (filed May 14, 1999), (ii) Sola v. PaineWebber Group, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2770 (filed June 11, 1999), and (iii) Gunderson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C 99-3040 (filed June 23, 1999). Another action with substantially identical allegations, Susnow v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1354-T (filed June 15, 1999) also subsequently was filed in the Northern District of Texas. By order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions along with certain actions identified below have been consolidated in the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 13, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants motion to dismiss. The Court did not dismiss certain of Plaintiffs’ claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An answer to the complaint has been filed and the parties have been exchanging

discovery. The Court has not yet certified a class. The Company intends to defend the suits vigorously. These suits may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to the Company.

 

On or about June 22, 1999, a lawsuit captioned Levitch v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1416-D, was filed in the Northern District of Texas against Patriot, Wyndham, James D. Carreker and Paul A. Nussbaum. This action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that, during the period from January 5, 1998 to December 17, 1998, the defendants defrauded shareholders by issuing false statements about the Company. The complaint sought unspecified damages and was filed on behalf of all shareholders who purchased Patriot American and Wyndham stock during that period. Three other actions, Gallagher v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1429-L, filed on June 23, 1999, David Lee Meisenburg, et al. v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., Wyndham International, Inc., James D. Carreker, and Paul A. Nussbaum Case No. 3-99-CV1686-X, filed July 27, 1999 and Deborah Szekely v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1866-D, filed on or about August 27, 1999, allege substantially the same allegations. By orders of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions have been consolidated with certain other shareholder actions and transferred to the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 20, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the court dismissed in its entirety the complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to amend. On or about December 2, 2002, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. No discovery has been taken yet and the Court has not yet certified a class. The Company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with class counsel to settle the litigation. The memorandum of understanding is subject to definitive documentation and Court approval. Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding, the Company shall pay $2,500 in cash when an order is entered by the Court preliminarily approving the proposed settlement and an additional $2,500 on or before the second anniversary of the final Court approval. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has an adequate reserve to cover the cost of the settlement.

 

On May 29, 2002, the State of Florida Office of the Attorney General Department of Legal Affairs filed a lawsuit in Leon County, Florida (Case No. 02-CA-1296) naming us, Patriot and four current or former Wyndham employees as defendants. In this case, the Attorney General alleged that the imposition of energy surcharges, resort fees and automatic service fees violates the State’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. We filed a motion to dismiss this suit which was granted in part and two of the individual defendants have been dismissed. We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Discovery is on-going.This suit may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to the Company. However, the Court has stated its interpretation of the applicable penalty statute. Pursuant to the Court’s construction, if the Attorney General’s Office fully prevails on its claims that Wyndham willfully engaged in a deceptive trade practice by charging energy fees, the maximum penalty which could be imposed is $10,000. The Attorney General will likely appeal this finding.

 

On June 20, 2002, plaintiffs in the case entitled Roller-Edelstein, et al. v. Wyndham International, Inc., et al., filed an amended complaint in Dallas County District Court (case no. 02-04946-A) alleging that supplemental fees charged to hotel guests constituted common law fraud, breach of contract and violated Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiffs claim to represent a nationwide class and have estimated damages in excess of $10,000. The Company has answered this complaint, but no formal discovery has been taken yet and the court has not yet certified a class. The Company anticipates vigorously defending this lawsuit. Because class certification has not yet been sought or approved, it is not possible to predict the ultimate exposure to the Company.

On February 18, 2003, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County, by Joseph Lopez and Alberto Jose Martinez, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, against Wyndham International, Inc., et al alleging that we violated certain provisions of the California Labor Code and the California Business and Professions Code concerning wage and hour requirements. The plaintiffs claim to represent a class. The plaintiffs also allege we breached a fiduciary duty to them and the other class members by seeking to take undue advantage of them by failing to pay them appropriate wages. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of themselves and the class in an unspecified amount for all causes of action. An answer to the complaint has been filed and discovery has commenced. The parties conducted an early mediation of this matter and have agreed to the terms of a settlement, which has been approved by the court. The settlement would require us to pay up to $2,500 to the plaintiffs. The Company has adequate reserves to cover the amount to be paid. The Company anticipates concluding the settlement process before the end of the third calendar quarter of 2004.

 

On or about June 8, 2003, the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General notified Wyndham that a complaint had been filed with its Fair Labor and Practices Division against Wyndham’s Westborough, Massachusetts location. According to the Office of the Attorney General, the complaint alleged that Wyndham-Westborough had violated certain provisions of Massachusetts’ wage payment laws (Massachusetts General Statutes c. 149, § 152A) by failing to remit to its employees all amounts owed by statute. On or about January 2, 2004, Wyndham received notice of a second Attorney General complaint also alleging a violation of c. 149, § 152A, this time with respect to all of Wyndham’s Massachusetts hotels. Although we intend to vigorously defend against these complaints, we have nevertheless fully cooperated with the Attorney General’s office by providing it with documents and other information in hopes of quickly resolving these matters. Because the Office of the Attorney General does not disclose information regarding complaints made to it, it remains unclear exactly who the complainants are, how many complainants are involved, and what the complaints allege. As such, it is impossible at this time to determine the exposure Wyndham could face in these matters. By letter dated July 2, 2004, an attorney notified Wyndham’s Westborough location that she represented “a number” of the complaining employees at that location. Wyndham’s Massachusetts counsel intends to meet with the attorney during the second week of August, 2004 in order to more fully discuss her clients’ complaint.

 

The Company is a party to a number of other claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business. However, the Company does not consider the ultimate liability with respect to these other claims and lawsuits to be material in relation to the consolidated financial condition or operations of the Company.

 

9.    Dividends

 

The Company does not anticipate paying a dividend to the common shareholders and is prohibited under the terms of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying dividends on the class A common stock. Also, the Company is prohibited under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying the cash portion of any dividends on the preferred stock. However, the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to receive on a quarterly basis a dividend equal to 9.75% per annum on a cumulative basis payable in cash and additional shares of preferred stock. In addition, according to the terms of the series A and series B preferred stock, if the cash dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, then an additional amount of dividends shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until such time as all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional dividends shall be cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock.

Results of operations:

 

General

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had 84 owned and leased hotels with approximately 25,340 guestrooms as compared to 110 owned and leased hotels with approximately 30,900 guestrooms at June 30, 2003. This decrease was a result of hotels sold and leases terminated during that twelve month period. As of June 30, 2004, we managed 27 hotels and franchised 47 hotels as compared to 26 managed hotels and 67 franchised hotels at June 30, 2003. The decrease in franchised hotels was primarily the result of the termination of 20 Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT) franchises. In addition, we have a strategic alliance with a third party for 6 hotels with over 1,900 guestrooms.

Table of Contents

We continue to sell our non-strategic assets and use the proceeds to reduce debt. At June 30, 2004, we had approximately $342 million of assets classified as held for sale. We classify certain assets as held for sale based on our management having the authority and intent of entering into commitments for sale transactions expected to close in the next twelve months.

 

On April 30, 2004, we extended an $18 million mortgage secured by one hotel, after a principal reduction of $6.3 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.5% and has a maturity date of May 1, 2006.

 

On June 22, 2004, we completed a $35 million mortgage financing secured by four hotel properties with Credit Suisse First Boston Inc. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.2% and has an initial maturity date of July 9, 2006. We may extend the maturity date of the loan for three additional twelve month periods, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within our control.

 

During the remainder of 2004, we have scheduled principal payments and debt maturities of approximately $11 million. This amount is the remaining normal principal amortization due in 2004. Adverse economic conditions could cause the terms on which we borrow to worsen. Those circumstances, if we are in need of funds to repay indebtedness, could force us to liquidate one or more investments in properties at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on those investments. The foregoing risks associated with our debt obligations may inhibit our ability to raise capital in both the public and private markets and may have a negative impact on our credit rating.

 

We adopted FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. Pursuant to the adoption of FIN 46, we evaluated our joint ventures, management and franchise contracts to determine whether any agreements qualify as a VIE and whether, as such, meet the criteria of a primary beneficiary. We identified the Wyndham Anatole management contract as a VIE and we were identified as the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Wyndham Anatole has been included in our consolidated financial statements. The Wyndham Anatole management contract met the FIN 46 criteria for consolidation into our financial statements due to the requirement that we reimburse the owner for any shortfall in the payment of mortgage debt and the owner’s preferred return prior to payment of management fees. This reimbursement is limited to $21 million and is backed by a letter of credit. This $21 million letter of credit triggers consolidation due to us being exposed to the majority of the risks of loss. In July 2004, $2.3 million was drawn against this letter of credit. We estimate that during 2004 the shortfall could range from $5 to $7 million. Even though our risk of loss is limited solely to the $21 million, our projections indicate that it is a remote possibility that the property will not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to cover debt service during the term of the management contract and therefore the owner has no risk of loss. The consolidation results in an increase of $314.5 million in our consolidated assets. Our balance sheet also reflects the Wyndham Anatole mortgage debt and capital lease obligations of $170.3 million even though we are not a party to nor guarantor of this debt. Our net loss does not change as a result of the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole as profit is 100% attributable to the owner and recorded as minority interest.

 

Results of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003

 

Our room revenues were $176.4 million and $153.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our room revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $9.8 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our room revenues increased by approximately $13.4 million. Occupancy, average daily rate, or ADR, and revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 5.3%, 3.1% and 8.6%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR can be attributed to an increasing demand in the leisure group, corporate and brand internet segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy.

Our food and beverage revenues were $106.6 million and $91.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our food and beverage revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $12.1 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our food and beverage revenues increased by approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase is primarily attributable to increased occupancy, stronger outlet results and an increasing banquet and catering business.

 

Our other hotel revenues were $39.7 million and $37.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our other hotel revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $2.0 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our other hotel revenues were flat for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

 

Our room expenses were $43.6 million and $39.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our room expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $2.2 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our room expenses increased approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The overall increase in our room expenses is attributable to increases in labor costs and operating supplies associated with the 5.3% increase in occupancy.

 

Our food and beverage expenses were $70.8 million and $61.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our food and beverage expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2004, was approximately $7.2 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our food and beverage expenses increased approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase consists of increases in food and beverage product costs, operating supplies and labor costs related to the increased cover counts served.

 

Our other hotel expenses were $125.6 million and $113.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of other hotel expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $7.7 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our other hotel expenses increased approximately $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase is attributable to higher maintenance and utility costs and higher other minor operating expenses.

 

Our management fee and service fee income was $4.1 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our management fee and service fee income was essentially flat for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 because of comparable hotel revenue upon which the fees were based.

 

Our interest and other income was $528,000 and $929,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the reductions of our note receivables from the Wyndham Anatole subsequent to June 30, 2003 due to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole.

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $16.1 million for both three month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The general and administrative expenses were flat as there were no significant changes in our general and administrative structure during the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

 

Our interest expense was $50.4 million and $45.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $3.2 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our interest expense increased approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. While our total debt has decreased, interest rates on certain debt has increased due to recent amendments and

refinancings. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, we had approximately $2.7 billion (includes $170.3 million in Wyndham Anatole debt) and $2.8 billion of debt, respectively. The one-month LIBOR rate was 1.37% as of June 30, 2004 and 1.12% as of June 30, 2003. Our weighted average interest rate for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 6.29% as compared to 5.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

 

Our depreciation and amortization expense was $41.8 million and $44.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the depreciation and amortization expense during the three months ended June 30, 2004, was approximately $2.5 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to certain assets becoming fully depreciated subsequent to the three months ended June 30, 2003.

 

The income tax benefit was $2.4 million and $59 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the income tax benefit is due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our net operating loss generated in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. In addition, the provision for income taxes was effected by two related items, a $120.4 million tax benefit resulting from a $301 million impairment loss and a $120.4 million valuation allowance against this tax benefit. Accordingly, we received no tax benefit from this impairment loss. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries was $1.9 million and $291,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in minority interest is the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole during the three months ended June 30, 2004.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded a gain of $16.5 million as compared to a gain of $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 for the change in the fair value of the ineffective interest rate hedge contracts. In addition, reductions of $20,000 (net of taxes of $14,000) and $225,000 (net of taxes of $150,000) were recorded against other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the effective derivatives. Also, during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we paid $12.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively, in settlement payments for ineffective hedges. In addition, we recorded amortization of $890,000 (net of taxes of $594,000) and $890,000 (net of taxes of $594,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to earnings as a reduction of the transitional adjustment that was recorded in other comprehensive income in 2001.

 

Impairment loss was $298.4 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The impairment loss for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is due to the write-down of assets held for use. We have developed a strategic plan to sell 33 non-strategic assets in de-leveraging transactions and will use the proceeds to reduce debt and overall leverage. This plan is designed to help facilitate a refinancing of our corporate credit facilities prior to the April 2006 maturity date. Of the assets included in the plan, 30 assets will continue to be held for use until such time as we can determine that they will be sold within a 12 month period. The remaining assets were previously and will continue to be classified as held for sale. The impairment loss for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was a pre-tax charge related to the decline in value of certain equity securities held by us. The decline in value of the securities was deemed to be other-than-temporary in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, thus requiring an earnings charge, primarily based on the length of time the securities have traded below cost.

 

Loss from discontinued operations was $37.2 million and $108.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in loss is attributable to the decrease in the loss from operations of discontinued hotels of $6.7 million; the decrease in impairment charges of $20.3 million; and the write-off of the remaining book value of the terminated leases of $46.9 million in 2003. These decreases were offset by a reduction in the gain on sale of assets of $2.6 million.

Our resulting net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $353.2 million and $91.5 million, respectively.

 

Results of Operations: six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003

 

Our room revenues were $362.2 million and $319.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our room revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $23.2 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our room revenues increased by approximately $20 million. Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR, increased 4.6%, 1.6% and 6.3%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR can be attributed to an increasing demand in the leisure group, corporate and brand internet segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy.

 

Our food and beverage revenues were $217.2 million and $181.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our food and beverage revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $29.4 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our food and beverage revenues increased by approximately $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase is primarily attributable to increased occupancy, stronger outlet results and an increasing banquet and catering business.

 

Our other hotel revenues were $86.5 million and $84.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our other hotel revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $3.7 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our other hotel revenues decreased approximately $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decline in communication revenues, a change in our customer mix which produced less ancillary revenue, decreases in other minor operating revenues and reduced group cancellation revenues throughout our owned and leased hotel portfolio.

 

Our room expenses were $87.5 million and $78.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our room expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $5.3 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our room expenses increased approximately $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The overall increase in our room expenses is attributable to increases in labor costs and operating supplies associated with the 4.6% increase in occupancy.

 

Our food and beverage expenses were $143 million and $123.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our food and beverage expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2004, was approximately $15.9 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our food and beverage expenses increased approximately $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase consists of increases in food and beverage product costs, operating supplies and labor costs related to the increased cover counts served.

 

Our other hotel expenses were $256 million and $230.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of other hotel expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $16 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our food and beverage expenses increased approximately $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase is attributable to higher maintenance and utility costs and higher other minor operating expenses.

 

Our management fee and service fee income was $8.8 million and $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our management fee and service fee income was essentially flat for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 because of comparable hotel revenue upon which the fees were based.

Table of Contents

Our interest and other income was $1 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the reductions of our note receivables from the Wyndham Anatole subsequent to June 30, 2003 due to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole.

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $30.7 million and $34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of reductions in receivable write-offs of $4.7 million and reductions in litigation settlement accruals of $2 million. These reductions were offset by increases in the incentive bonus accrual of $873,000, increases in salaries and wages of $1.1 million and increases in legal expenses of $1.1 million.

 

Our interest expense was $103.6 million and $89 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $6.4 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our interest expense increased approximately $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. While our total debt has decreased, interest rates on certain debt have increased due to recent amendments and refinancings. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, we had approximately $2.7 billion (includes $170.3 million in Wyndham Anatole debt) and $2.8 billion of debt, respectively. The one-month LIBOR rate was 1.37% as of June 30, 2004 and 1.12% as of June 30, 2003. Our weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2004 was 6.29% as compared to 5.88% at June 30, 2003.

 

Our depreciation and amortization expense was $85.4 million and $90.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the depreciation and amortization expense during the six months ended June 30, 2004, was approximately $4.7 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to certain assets becoming fully depreciated subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2003.

 

The income tax provision was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to an income tax benefit of $133.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in the income tax provision is due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our net operating loss generated in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. In addition, the provision for income taxes was effected by two related items, a $120.4 million tax benefit resulting from a $301 million impairment loss and a $120.4 million valuation allowance against this tax benefit. Accordingly, we received no tax benefit from this impairment loss. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries was $9.5 million and $342,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in minority interest is the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded a gain of $26 million as compared to a gain of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 for the change in the fair value of the ineffective interest rate hedge contracts. In addition, reductions of $128,000 (net of taxes of $85,000) and $1.5 million (net of taxes of $1 million) were recorded against other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the effective derivatives. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we paid $24.9 million and $23.6 million, respectively, in settlement payments for ineffective hedges. In addition, we recorded amortization of $1.8 million (net of taxes of $1.2 million) and $2 million (net of taxes of $1.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to earnings as a reduction of the transitional adjustment that was recorded in other comprehensive income in 2001.

 

Impairment loss was $298.4 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is due to the write-down of assets held for use. We have developed a strategic plan to sell 33 non-strategic assets in de-leveraging transactions and will

use the proceeds to reduce debt and overall leverage. This plan is designed to help facilitate a refinancing of our corporate credit facilities prior to the April 2006 maturity date. Of the assets included in the plan, 30 assets will continue to be held for use until such time as we can determine that they will be sold within a 12 month period. The remaining assets were previously will continue to be classified as held for sale. The impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was the write-down of assets held for sale and a pre-tax charge related to the decline in value of certain equity securities held by us. The decline in value of the securities was deemed to be other-than-temporary during the six months ended June 30, 2003, thus requiring an earnings charge, primarily based on the length of time the securities have traded below cost.

 

Loss from discontinued operations was $41 million and $253.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in loss is attributable to the decrease in the loss from operations of discontinued hotels of $18 million; the decrease in impairment charges of $46.6 million; and the write-off of the remaining book value of the terminated leases of $151.2 million in 2003. These decreases were offset by a reduction in the gain on sale of assets of $3.6 million.

 

Our resulting net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $382.7 million and $198.9 million, respectively.

 

Results of reporting segments:

 

Our results of operations are classified into three reportable segments: (1) Wyndham branded hotel properties, (2) non-proprietary branded hotel properties and (3) other.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003

 

Wyndham branded properties include Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®, Wyndham Luxury Resorts®, Wyndham Garden Hotels® and Summerfield Suites by Wyndham. This segment represented approximately 87.1% and 86% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $285 million compared to $247.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our total revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $24 million. Operating income for this segment was $74.7 million compared to $61 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2004, was approximately $6.9 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our revenue increased approximately $14 million and operating income increased approximately $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 5%, 3.3% and 8.5%, respectively, as demand increased in the corporate group and commercial retail segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy.

 

Non-proprietary branded properties, including Doubletree®, Hilton®, Holiday Inn®, Marriott®, Radisson®, and Hyatt®, represented approximately 11.5% and 12.2% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $37.6 million compared to $35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Operating income for this segment was $7.9 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 6.2%, 2.3% and 8.6%, respectively, as demand increased in the corporate group and commercial retail segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy.

 

Other represents revenue from various operating businesses, including management and other service companies. Expenses in this segment are primarily interest, depreciation, amortization and corporate general and administrative expenses. Total revenue for the segment was $4.6 million and $5.4 million for the three months

ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in this segment’s revenue was primarily the result of reductions in note receivables from the Wyndham Anatole subsequent to June 30, 2003 due to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole. Operating losses for this segment were $399.7 million and $110.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the following: increases in interest expense of $4.6 million and increases in impairment on assets held for sale and use of $296.3 million. The increases were offset by reductions in management fees and interest income of $743,000, reductions in losses on derivative instruments of $9.9 million, and reductions in depreciation and amortization of $3.1 million.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003

 

Wyndham branded segment represented approximately 87.8% and 86.5% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $593.4 million compared to $515.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $56.3 million. Operating income for this segment was $165.6 million compared to $140.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the operating income during the six months ended June 30, 2004, was approximately $19.1 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our revenue increased approximately $21.3 million and operating income increased approximately $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 5.2%, 1.6% and 6.8%, respectively as demand increased in the corporate group and commercial retail segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy.

 

The non-proprietary branded segment represented approximately 10.7% and 11.7% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $72.5 million compared to $69.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Operating income for this segment was $13.9 million and $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 2.2%, 1.2% and 3.5%, respectively as demand increased in the corporate group and commercial retail segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy.

 

Other represents revenue from various operating businesses, including management and other service companies. Expenses in this segment are primarily interest, depreciation, amortization and corporate general and administrative expenses. Total revenue for the segment was $9.9 million and $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in this segment’s revenue was primarily the result of reductions in note receivables from the Wyndham Anatole subsequent to June 30, 2003 due to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole. Operating losses for this segment were $510.1 million and $233.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the following: increases in the incentive bonus accrual of $873,000, increases in interest expense of $14.6 million, increases in salaries and wages of $1.1 million, increases in impairment on assets held for sale and use of $292.2 million, and increases in legal expenses of $1.1 million. The increases were offset by reductions in interest income of $1.1 million, reductions in losses on the sale of assets of $4.9 million, reductions in losses on derivative instruments of $17.2 million, reductions in receivable write-offs of $4.7 million, reductions in litigation settlement accrual of $2 million and reductions in depreciation and amortization of $5.3 million.

 

Recent Events

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we sold our investments in two hotels and certain undeveloped land in separate transactions. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.8 million, after the repayment of mortgage debt of $4.8 million. We recorded a net gain of $2.2 million as a result of these asset sales. Also, $2.4 million of the net cash proceeds was used by us to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and we retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.

On April 1, 2004, leases on six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties were terminated and the properties were converted to long-term franchises. Assets of approximately $22,000, which represented the lease’s remaining book value, were considered impaired and written-off as of December 31, 2003.

 

On June 14, 2004, we announced that The Ireland Companies have contracted to purchase and redevelop the former Wyndham Bonaventure Resort & Spa in Weston, Fla. The Ireland Companies, led by Thomas K. Ireland, the resort’s original developer, intends to redevelop the resort into 252 luxury residences through a $75 million redevelopment, complete with the addition of a 48,000-square-foot Golden Door® spa—Wyndham’s largest spa and the first Golden Door on the East Coast. The two parties will also enter into a long-term agreement for us to manage the resort. The new project, the Wyndham Resort & Golden Door Spa at Weston, Florida, will be redeveloped over a period of 18 months, with renovations planned to begin September 2004 and expected to be completed in late 2005.

 

On June 25, 2004, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement with Highland Hospitality Corporation to sell four hotel properties for approximately $227 million. All net proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down debt. The agreement outlines the sale of two non-proprietary assets and two non-strategic Wyndham-branded assets. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2004 and the two Wyndham-branded assets will be re-branded to a third party brand.

 

On July 2, 2004, Paul Fribourg resigned his position as a class C director due to time constraints. On July 7, 2004, Lee Hillman was appointed a class C director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Fribourg’s resignation.

 

On August 3, 2004, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement with Lone Star U.S. Acquisitions LLC to sell seven hotel properties. Four non-proprietary and three Wyndham-branded assets are included in the sale. All seven assets will continue to be managed by us pursuant to a newly signed management services agreement, as well as retain their respective brand flags. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the net proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down debt.

 

We have developed a strategic plan to sell 33 non-strategic assets in de-leveraging transactions and will use the proceeds to reduce debt and overall leverage. This plan is designed to help facilitate a refinancing of our corporate credit facilities prior to the April 2006 maturity date. Of the assets included in the plan, 30 assets will continue to be held for use until such time as we can determine that they will be sold within a 12 month period. The remaining assets were previously and will continue to be classified as held for sale.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2004 were $75.8 million, inclusive of $525,000 in Wyndham Anatole cash; and our restricted cash was $108.5 million, inclusive of $7.2 million in Wyndham Anatole restricted cash. Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2003 were $52.5 million, and our restricted cash was $154.1 million. Restricted cash is comprised of furniture, fixture and equipment reserves, tax and insurance escrows, derivative collateral, deferred maintenance reserves and ground rent reserves.

 

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

 

Our principal source of cash flow is from the operations of the hotels that we own, lease and manage. Cash flows from operating activities were $44.3 million and $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase is due primarily to the increases in cash flows associated with the increase in RevPAR.

 

Cash Flows from Investing and Financing Activities

 

Cash flows provided by our investing activities were $166.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, resulting primarily from proceeds received from the sale of assets during the period. This was offset by renovation expenditures at certain hotels. Cash flows used in financing activities of $197.9 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were primarily related to principal repayments made on our debt.

 

Cash flows provided by our investing activities were $62.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, resulting primarily from proceeds received from the sale of assets during the period. This was offset by renovation expenditures at certain hotels and changes in our restricted cash reserves during the period. Cash flows used in financing activities of $83.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were primarily related to principal payments made on our debt offset by borrowings under the current facility and distributions made to limited partners.

 

Credit Facilities

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately $121.6 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $1 billion outstanding on term loan I and $332.2 million outstanding on term loan II. Additionally, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $72 million. Also, as of June 30, 2004, we had $1.2 billion of mortgage debt outstanding that encumbered 37 hotels and capital leases and other debt of $39.6 million, resulting in total indebtedness of approximately $2.7 billion. Included in the total indebtedness is approximately $16.8 million of debt associated with assets held for sale and $170.3 million in mortgage debt and capital lease obligations associated with the Wyndham Anatole of which we are not a party to nor guarantor of the debt or capital lease obligation. (See note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately $226.4 million in liquidity. Our liquidity is defined as revolver availability plus cash in our overnight accounts.

 

On April 30, 2004, we extended an $18 million mortgage secured by one hotel, after paydown of $6.3 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.5% and has a maturity date of May 1, 2006.

 

Also, on June 22, 2004, we completed a $35 million mortgage financing secured by four hotel properties with Credit Suisse First Boston Inc. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.2% and has an initial maturity date of July 9, 2006. We may extend the maturity date of the loan for three additional twelve month periods, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within our control.

 

We have considered our short-term liquidity needs and the adequacy of adjusted estimated cash flows and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are

 

34


Table of Contents

to fund our normal recurring expenses and our debt service requirements. We anticipate that these needs will be fully funded from our cash flows provided by operating activities and, when necessary, from our revolving credit facility. In the past, we have generally met our long-term liquidity requirements for the funding of activities, such as development and scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the proceeds from the sale of our assets. In the future, we may seek to increase our capital resources through similar activities or, subject to limitations imposed by the terms of our credit agreements and preferred stock, through offerings of debt or equity securities, including convertible notes and preferred or common stock.

 

As of June 30, 2004, under the terms of the applicable credit facility, loan agreement, and lease agreement, our principal amortization and balloon payment requirements and our future five year minimum lease payments are summarized as follows:

(1) Remaining amounts due in 2004 are normal principal amortization.

 

(2) We can elect to extend $741.1 million ($484.9 million for three additional twelve month periods and $256.2 million for one additional twelve month period, provided that there is not a default under the loan and other minor conditions are met which are completely within our control.) The remaining maturities represent $139,385 related to separate loans collateralized by the Wyndham El Conquistador and the Wyndham Reach and normal principal amortization. We believe we will be able to refinance these two loans prior to maturity; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

(3) The Wyndham Anatole debt of $170.3 million is included, however, we are not a party to nor guarantor of this debt (see note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements).

 

(4) Office, hotel and ground leases are operating leases and are included in operating expenses.

 

Dividends

 

We do not anticipate paying a dividend to our common shareholders and we are prohibited under the terms of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying dividends on our class A common stock. For the six year period beginning September 30, 1999, dividends on our series A and series B preferred stock are payable partly in cash and partly in additional shares of our series A and series B preferred stock, with the cash portion aggregating $29.25 million per year, so long as there is no redemption or conversion of our series A and series B preferred stock. For the following four years, dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of our series A or series B preferred stock, as the case may be, as determined by our board of directors. After year ten, dividends are payable solely in cash.

 

We are prohibited under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying cash dividends on the series A and series B preferred stock. As of June 30, 2004, we have deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaling approximately $87.7 million. In addition, according to the terms of our series A and series B preferred stock, if the cash dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for at least 60 days, then an additional amount of

 

35


Table of Contents

dividends will accrue at an annual rate of 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until the cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. These additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2004, we have issued additional stock dividends of 783,558 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $78.4 million.

 

Renovations and Capital Improvements

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we invested approximately $28.7 million in capital improvements and renovations. These capital expenditures included (i) costs related to enhancing the revenue-producing capabilities of our hotels and (ii) costs related to recurring maintenance. During 2004, we anticipate spending approximately $75 million in capital expenditures primarily for recurring maintenance capital expenditures and technological initiatives. We are limited to capital expenditures of $125 million per year, plus $25 million per year for emergency capital expenditures under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility.

 

We attempt to schedule renovations and improvements during traditionally lower occupancy periods in an effort to minimize disruption to the hotel’s operations. Therefore, we do not believe such renovations and capital improvements will have a material effect on the results of operations of the hotels. Capital expenditures will be financed through capital expenditure reserves or with working capital.

 

Inflation

 

Operators of hotels in general possess the ability to adjust room rates quickly. However, competitive pressures may limit our ability to raise room rates in the face of inflation.

 

Seasonality

 

The hotel industry is seasonal in nature; however, the periods during which our hotel properties experience higher revenues vary from property to property and depend predominantly on the property’s location. Our revenues typically have been higher in the first and second quarters than in the third or fourth quarters.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to: impairment of assets; assets held for sale; bad debts; income taxes; insurance reserves; derivatives; and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We periodically review the carrying value of our assets, including intangible assets, to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that assets might be impaired. If facts and circumstances support this possibility of impairment, our management will prepare probability weighted undiscounted and discounted cash flow projections which require judgments that are both subjective and complex.

 

Our management uses its judgment in projecting which assets will be sold by us within the next twelve months. These judgments are based on our management’s knowledge of the current market and the status of current negotiations with third parties. If assets are expected to be sold within 12 months, they are reclassified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet.

Table of Contents

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, should we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

 

We maintain a paid loss deductible insurance plan for commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers’ compensation loss exposures related to our hotel operations. The primary loss deductible retention limit is currently $1 million per occurrence for general liability, $250,000 per occurrence for automobile liability and $500,000 per occurrence for workers’ compensation loss, in most jurisdictions. The estimates of the ultimate liability for losses and associated expenses are based upon a third party actuarial analysis and projection of actual historical development trends of loss frequency, severity and incurred but not reported claims as well as traditional issues that affect loss cost such as medical and statutory benefit inflation. In addition, the actuarial analysis compares our trends against general insurance industry development trends to develop an estimate of ultimate costs within the deductible retention. Large claims or incidents that could potentially involve material amounts are also monitored closely on a case-by-case basis. As of June 30, 2004, our balance sheet included an estimated liability with respect to this self-insurance program of $28.5 million.

 

Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a portion of our variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2004, we did not have any derivatives designated as fair value hedges. Additionally, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We use a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date to determine the fair value of our derivative instruments. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. Future cash inflows or outflows from our derivative instruments depend upon future borrowing rates. If assumptions about future borrowing rates prove to be materially incorrect, the recorded value of these agreements could also prove to be materially incorrect. Because we use the derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to increases in variable interest rates, thus effectively fixing a portion of our variable interest rates, the impact of changes in future borrowing rates could result in our interest expense being either higher or lower than might otherwise have been incurred on our variable-rate borrowings had the rates not been fixed. A reduction in interest rates could result in a competitive advantage for companies in a position to take advantage of a lower cost of capital.

 

We are a defendant in lawsuits that arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. Our management uses its judgment, with the aid of legal counsel, to record accruals for losses that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated as a result of any pending actions against us.

 

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The objective of FIN 46 is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidated financial statements. A company that holds a variable interest in an entity

 

37


Table of Contents

will need to consolidate the entity if the company’s interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosure by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The disclosure provisions of FIN 46 became effective upon issuance. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to VIE’s created after January 31, 2003 and in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after March 15, 2004 to existing VIE’s. We did not establish any variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. We adopted FIN 46 during the first quarter ended March 31, 2004. We believe that our interest in one management contract (Wyndham Anatole) is a VIE where we are the primary beneficiary, which requires consolidation under FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. In the unlikely event that we terminate the management contract and all of the underlying assets related to this contract had no value, we estimate that the maximum exposure to loss would approximate $90.6 million, primarily representing the net carrying value of our investment in the Wyndham Anatole at June 30, 2004. However, we expect to recover the recorded amount of our investment in the Wyndham Anatole. See note 3 on page 10 for the condensed financial information of the Wyndham Anatole as of June 30, 2004.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS 150 specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. For calendar-year-end companies, SFAS 150 will become effective at the beginning of their third quarters. SFAS 150 is effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, SFAS 150 goes into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity. For contracts that were created or modified before May 31, 2003 and still exist at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, entities should record the transition to SFAS 150 by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. SFAS 150 prohibits entities from restating financial statements for earlier years presented. On October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred the provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 of SFAS 150 as they apply to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Those provisions require that mandatorily redeemable minority interests within the scope of SFAS 150 be classified as a liability on a parent company’s financial statement in certain situations, including when a finite-lived entity is consolidated. The deferral of those provisions is expected to remain in effect while these interests are addressed in either Phase II of the FASB’s Liabilities and Equity project or Phase II of the FASB’s Business Combinations Project. However, the FASB did not defer the disclosure provisions relating to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS 150, if we liquidate the consolidated subsidiaries in which there exists a minority interest, we would be required to pay approximately $11.1 million in cash. Such amount is lower than the carrying amount of the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries by $4.4 million.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

 

Our primary market risk exposure is to future changes in interest rates related to our derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments, including debt obligations, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and future debt commitments.

 

We manage our debt portfolio by periodically entering into interest rate swaps and caps to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates or to limit our exposure to rising interest rates.

 

The following table provides information about our derivative and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.

 

  For fixed rate debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity date and contracted interest rates at June 30, 2004. For variable rate debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows by expected maturity date and contracted interest rates at June 30, 2004.

 

38


Table of Contents
  For interest rate swaps and caps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates or strike rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at June 30, 2004.

The remaining maturities represent $139,385 related to separate loans collateralized by the Wyndham El Conquistador and the Wyndham Reach and normal principal amortization. We believe we will be able to refinance these two loans prior to maturity; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2004, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to insure the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.

PART II:    OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

 

On May 7, 1999, Doris Johnson and Charles Dougherty filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California against Patriot, Wyndham, their respective operating partnerships and PaineWebber Group, Inc. This action, Johnson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2153, was commenced on behalf of all former holders of Bay Meadows stock during a class period from June 2, 1997 to the date of filing. The action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that the purported class members were wrongfully induced to tender their shares as part of the Patriot/Bay Meadows merger based on a fraudulent prospectus. The action seeks unspecified damages and further alleges that defendants continued to defraud shareholders about their intentions to acquire numerous hotels and saddle the Company with massive debt during the class period. Three other actions against the same defendants subsequently were filed in the Northern District of California: (i) Ansell v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2239 (filed May 14, 1999), (ii) Sola v. PaineWebber Group, Inc., et al., No. C-99-2770 (filed June 11, 1999), and (iii) Gunderson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. C 99-3040 (filed June 23, 1999). Another action with substantially identical allegations, Susnow v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1354-T (filed June 15, 1999) also subsequently was filed in the Northern District of Texas. By order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions along with certain actions identified below have been consolidated in the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 13, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants motion to dismiss. The Court did not dismiss certain of Plaintiffs’ claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An answer to the complaint has been filed and the parties have been exchanging discovery. The Court has not yet certified a class. We intend to defend the suits vigorously. These suits may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to us.

 

On or about June 22, 1999, a lawsuit captioned Levitch v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1416-D, was filed in the Northern District of Texas against Patriot, Wyndham, James D. Carreker and Paul A. Nussbaum. This action asserts securities fraud claims and alleges that, during the period from January 5, 1998 to December 17, 1998, the defendants defrauded shareholders by issuing false statements about the Company. The complaint sought unspecified damages and was filed on behalf of all shareholders who purchased Patriot American and Wyndham stock during that period. Three other actions, Gallagher v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1429-L, filed on June 23, 1999, David Lee Meisenburg, et al. v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., Wyndham International, Inc., James D. Carreker, and Paul A. Nussbaum Case No. 3-99-CV1686-X, filed July 27, 1999 and Deborah Szekely v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., No. 3-99-CV1866-D, filed on or about August 27, 1999, allege substantially the same allegations. By orders of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, these actions have been consolidated with certain other shareholder actions and transferred to the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial purposes. On or about October 20, 2000, the defendants moved to dismiss the actions. On or about August 15, 2001, the court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss the action, dismissing some of the claims with prejudice and granting leave to replead certain other claims in the Complaint. On or about October 15, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as in the original complaint. On or about December 20, 2001, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On or about September 3, 2002, the court dismissed in its entirety the complaint and granted plaintiffs leave to amend. On or about December 2, 2002, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. No discovery has been taken yet and the Court has not yet certified a class. We have entered into a memorandum of understanding with class counsel to settle the litigation. The memorandum of understanding is subject to definitive documentation and Court approval. Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding, we shall pay $2.5 million in cash when an order is entered by the Court preliminarily approving the proposed settlement and an additional $2.5 million on or before the second anniversary of the final Court approval. As of June 30, 2004, we have an adequate reserve to cover the cost of the settlement.

On May 29, 2002, the State of Florida Office of the Attorney General Department of Legal Affairs filed a lawsuit in Leon County, Florida (Case No. 02-CA-1296) naming us, Patriot and four current or former Wyndham employees as defendants. In this case, the Attorney General alleged that the imposition of energy surcharges, resort fees and automatic service fees violates the State’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. We filed a motion to dismiss this suit which was granted in part and two of the individual defendants have been dismissed. We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Discovery is on-going.This suit may not be resolved for a number of years and it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost to us. However, the Court has stated its interpretation of the applicable penalty statute. Pursuant to the Court’s construction, if the Attorney General’s Office fully prevails on its claims that Wyndham willfully engaged in a deceptive trade practice by charging energy fees, the maximum penalty which could be imposed is $10,000. The Attorney General will likely appeal this finding.

 

On June 20, 2002, plaintiffs in the case entitled Roller-Edelstein, et al. v. Wyndham International, Inc., et al., filed an amended complaint in Dallas County District Court (case no. 02-04946-A) alleging that supplemental fees charged to hotel guests constituted common law fraud, breach of contract and violated Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiffs claim to represent a nationwide class and have estimated damages in excess of $10 million. We have answered this complaint, but no formal discovery has been taken yet and the court has not yet certified a class. We anticipate vigorously defending this lawsuit. Because class certification has not yet been sought or approved, it is not possible to predict the ultimate exposure to us.

 

On February 18, 2003, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County, by Joseph Lopez and Alberto Jose Martinez, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, against Wyndham International, Inc., et al alleging that we violated certain provisions of the California Labor Code and the California Business and Professions Code concerning wage and hour requirements. The plaintiffs claim to represent a class. The plaintiffs also allege we breached a fiduciary duty to them and the other class members by seeking to take undue advantage of them by failing to pay them appropriate wages. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of themselves and the class in an unspecified amount for all causes of action. An answer to the complaint has been filed and discovery has commenced. The parties conducted an early mediation of this matter and have agreed to the terms of a settlement, which has been approved by the court. The settlement would require us to pay up to $2.5 million to the plaintiffs. We have adequate reserves to cover the amount to be paid. We anticipate concluding the settlement process before the end of the third calendar quarter of 2004.

 

On or about June 8, 2003, the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General notified Wyndham that a complaint had been filed with its Fair Labor and Practices Division against Wyndham’s Westborough, Massachusetts location. According to the Office of the Attorney General, the complaint alleged that Wyndham-Westborough had violated certain provisions of Massachusetts’ wage payment laws (Massachusetts General Statutes c. 149, § 152A) by failing to remit to its employees all amounts owed by statute. On or about January 2, 2004, Wyndham received notice of a second Attorney General complaint also alleging a violation of c. 149, § 152A, this time with respect to all of Wyndham’s Massachusetts hotels. Although we intend to vigorously defend against these complaints, we have nevertheless fully cooperated with the Attorney General’s office by providing it with documents and other information in hopes of quickly resolving these matters. Because the Office of the Attorney General does not disclose information regarding complaints made to it, it remains unclear exactly who the complainants are, how many complainants are involved, and what the complaints allege. As such, it is impossible at this time to determine the exposure Wyndham could face in these matters. By letter dated July 2, 2004, an attorney notified Wyndham’s Westborough location that she represented “a number” of the complaining employees at that location. Wyndham’s Massachusetts counsel intends to meet with the attorney during the second week of August, 2004 in order to more fully discuss her clients’ complaint.

Item 3.    Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

We are prohibited under the terms of the January 24, 2002 amendments to the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying cash dividends on the series A and series B preferred stock. As of June 30, 2004, we have deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaling approximately $87.7 million. In addition, according to the terms of our series A and series B preferred stock, if the cash dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for at least 60 days, then an additional amount of dividends will accrue at an annual rate of 2.0% of the stated amount of each share of preferred stock then outstanding from the last payment date on which cash dividends were to be paid in full until the cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. These additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2004, we have issued additional stock dividends of 783,558 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $78.4 million.

 

Item 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

We held our annual meeting of stockholders on July 1, 2004. During this meeting, our stockholders were asked to consider and vote upon three proposals: to elect nineteen directors to our board of directors, consisting of eight class A directors, eight class B directors and three class C directors, to serve until the 2005 annual meeting of our stockholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, to ratify the appointment of our independent auditors for the 2004 calendar year, and to transact any other business as may properly come before the annual meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the date of the annual meeting, a total of 169,515,184 shares of class A common stock (aggregated to 169,515,184 votes) and 14,490,307 shares of series B preferred stock (equivalent to 171,015,740 votes) were outstanding and entitled to vote. The holders of class A common stock and series B preferred stock were entitled to vote together on all matters presented at the meeting, except that only holders of class A common stock were entitled to vote for the election of class A directors and only holders of series B preferred stock were entitled to vote for the election of class B directors. For each proposal, the results of the shareholder voting were as follows:
