Overview

 

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Wyndham International, Inc. together with its subsidiaries will be referred to as “we,” “us,” “Wyndham” or the “Company.” We own, lease, manage and franchise hotels primarily in the upper upscale and luxury segments of the hotel and resorts industry in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. At December 31, 2004, our portfolio consisted of 156 hotels and resorts with over 42,500 guest rooms. We are a Delaware corporation and our principal executive office is located at 1950 Stemmons Freeway, Suite 6001, Dallas, Texas 75207.

General Description of Our Business

 

We classify our business into two groups: (1) proprietary branded hotels and (2) non-proprietary branded hotels. Our proprietary branded hotels are Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®, Wyndham Luxury Resorts®, Wyndham Garden Hotels® and Summerfield Suites by Wyndham consisting of 137 owned, leased, managed or franchised

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

hotels with over 37,400 guest rooms as of December 31, 2004. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts® is our principal proprietary branded group of assets. Through both our Wyndham Hotels & Resorts® brand and our Wyndham Garden Hotels® brand, we offer upper upscale, full-service accommodations to business and leisure travelers. Through our Wyndham Luxury Resorts brand, we offer luxury resort accommodations, such as the Boulders and Carmel Valley Ranch. Through our Summerfield Suites by Wyndham brand, we offer upper upscale, all-suite accommodations to business and leisure travelers.

 

Our primary growth strategy for our proprietary branded hotels has been to expand through new management and franchise contracts, rebrand our convertible non-proprietary hotels to the Wyndham flag, operate efficiently through revenue generation and cost containment programs and build the brand through innovative programs.

 

Our non-proprietary branded hotels consist of 19 owned or managed hotels with over 5,100 guest rooms as of December 31, 2004. These hotels are operated under franchise or brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel companies, including Hilton®, Hyatt®, Radisson®, Holiday Inn®, Doubletree® and Marriott®. We manage all but five of these hotels. Our non-proprietary branded hotels are operated primarily by Performance Hospitality Management (“PHM”), one of our management divisions. In addition to our owned assets, PHM manages four non-proprietary branded hotels for third parties.

 

Our strategy for our non-proprietary hotels has been to selectively dispose of these hotels through asset sales and exchanges to create a source of capital for us to (1) repay debt and (2) continue expanding the Wyndham proprietary brand. Upon completion of this strategy in the first quarter of 2005, since June of 1999, Wyndham will have sold approximately 185 non-strategic properties for gross proceeds of over $2.7 billion. The net proceeds from the asset sales have been used to reduce debt and overall Company leverage.

 

Please see “Results of Reporting Segments” under Item 7 of this Form 10-K and Note 15 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our business segments.

 

Recent Developments

 

On December 22, 2004, Wyndham formed a joint venture with Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners (“LBREP”) to expand and develop Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, Wyndham’s upscale, extended-stay brand. The transaction included the sale of six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and the sale of an equity interest in the entity that owns our Summerfield brand to LBREP.

 

On December 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell 25 non-strategic hotels to a partnership comprised of a private investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs and affiliates of Highgate Holdings. The purchase price of the transaction is $366 million. The net cash proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down debt. As part of the agreement, the 15 Wyndham-branded assets included in the sale will remain in the brand’s portfolio pursuant to new franchise agreements. Impairments totaling $333.5 million were recorded on these 25 properties during 2004. Upon the close of the transaction in 2005, a gain of approximately $33.9 million will be recorded on the remainder of the assets in the portfolio. The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2005. We also entered into an agreement to sell an additional property in a separate transaction. These transactions will complete our planned disposition program, which began in June 1999.

 

On January 28, 2005, Mercury Special Situations Fund LP and Equity Resource Dover Fund LP issued a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of our series A preferred stock at a price of $30 per share. The offer was amended on February 28, 2005 to extend the expiration date to March 14, 2005.

 

On or about February 28, 2005, we entered into a stipulation of settlement with regard to the legal proceeding entitled Johnson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., and discussed under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” on page 17. Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, we shall issue 11 million shares of Wyndham common stock to the proposed settlement class. We also have agreed to contribute a maximum amount of

 

2


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

$1 million to the settlement class, only in the event that the trading price of Wyndham common stock falls below a certain threshold for a defined period of time. Furthermore, we have agreed to allow the settlement class to participate in a rights offering under certain limited circumstances. The stipulation of settlement is subject to Court approval. An accrual of $11.2 million was recorded as of December 31, 2004 related to the settlement.

 

On March 10, 2005, we completed the sale of the Wyndham Riverfront in New Orleans. All net proceeds were used to pay down debt.

 

On March 11, 2005, we announced we have arranged to refinance our corporate credit facility and the majority of our outstanding mortgage debt. We will refinance approximately $1.65 billion of our outstanding debt. The refinancing, which is expected to close early in the second quarter 2005, provides an extension of corporate debt maturity to 2011. Additionally, the debt pre-funds up to $100 million of capital to invest in our owned properties.

 

Our History

 

Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (“Patriot”) was formed on April 17, 1995 as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) to acquire equity interests in hotel properties. On October 2, 1995, Patriot completed an initial public offering of its common stock and commenced its operations.

 

On July 1, 1997, Patriot merged into California Jockey Club (“Cal Jockey”). As part of this merger, Cal Jockey and Bay Meadows Operating Company (“Bay Meadows”) entered into a paired share arrangement under which both of their common stocks were paired and traded together. Also, Cal Jockey changed its name to Patriot, and Bay Meadows changed its name to “Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company.”

 

In January 1998, Wyndham Hotel Corporation merged into Patriot and, as part of that merger, Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company changed its name to “Wyndham International, Inc.” We will refer to Wyndham International, Inc. as it existed before June 30, 1999 as “old Wyndham.”

 

During 1998, Patriot and old Wyndham grew primarily by acquiring hotels and other related businesses. They financed these acquisitions with funds drawn on their revolving credit facilities and capital raised by issuing paired shares and by having their two operating partnerships issue limited partnership interests.

 

On June 30, 1999, we restructured our organization. As part of this restructuring:

 

    Patriot became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours;

 

    we and Patriot terminated the paired share arrangement;

 

    each outstanding paired share was converted into one share of our class A common stock; and

 

    Patriot terminated its status as a REIT effective January 1, 1999 and became a taxable corporation as of that date.

 

Also on June 30, 1999, we completed a $1 billion series B preferred stock equity investment, closed a new credit facility (comprised of a senior credit facility and an increasing rate loan facility), which has since been amended and restated, and closed on additional mortgage debt. Holders of our series B preferred stock are entitled to a quarterly dividend on a cumulative basis at a rate of 9.75% per year of which a portion is payable in additional shares of our series B preferred stock. Our series B preferred stock is convertible, at the holders’ option, into shares of our class B common stock. Also in 1999, we completed a rights offering of our series A preferred stock, which, except for voting rights, has substantially similar terms to our series B preferred stock. We used the proceeds of our series A preferred stock offering to redeem some of our series B preferred stock.

 

Our credit facility prohibits us from paying the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend until expiration or further amendment of our credit facility. Under the terms of our preferred stock, if cash dividends are in

Index to Financial Statements

arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, an additional amount of dividends accrue at a rate per annum 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 all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2004, we had issued additional stock dividends of 936,073 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $93.6 million because cash dividends totaling $102.3 million on the preferred stock had been in arrears and unpaid for a period of more than 60 days.

 

Over the past several years we have sold, and we currently intend to sell, our non-strategic, non-convertible assets. These are properties that did not fit our proprietary brand profile because of the quality of the assets or the fact that they were encumbered by long-term licensing agreements with non-Wyndham brands. By disposing of these assets, we will be able to focus solely on being a branded operating company, as well as reducing our debt with the majority of the net proceeds from these asset sales. On December 30, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the 25 remaining non-strategic properties in our planned disposition program. We also entered into an agreement to sell an additional property in a separate transaction. Since implementing this plan in June of 1999, we have sold approximately 185 non-strategic properties with gross proceeds of over $2.7 billion.

 

In 2002, we sold the following assets:

 

    seven hotels and an investment in a restaurant venture in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $60.1 million after we repaid approximately $65.7 million of debt. Also, we used $38.7 million of the net cash proceeds from the sales of the assets to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility; and

 

    thirteen hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $202.5 million, after we repaid approximately $224.1 million of debt and placed $36.1 million in escrow under the terms of our senior credit facility for application by us in the future to make payments on existing mortgage indebtedness. Also, we used $127.6 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility. As of December 31, 2004, all of the $36.1 million placed in escrow has been applied in payment of existing mortgage indebtedness.

 

In 2003, we sold or terminated leases for the following assets:

 

    eighteen hotels, two parcels of undeveloped land and a golf venture were sold in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $107.4 million, after the repayment of mortgage debt of approximately $114.9 million. Also, we used $68.3 million of the net cash proceeds to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility, and we retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities; and

 

    Hospitality Properties Trust (“HPT”) terminated leases on 27 hotel properties (15 Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels) operated by two of our subsidiaries. HPT subsequently rebranded the hotel properties to third-party brands.

 

In 2004, we sold or terminated leases for the following assets:

 

    investments in 39 hotels and certain undeveloped land were sold in separate transactions for net cash proceeds of $308.7 million after payment of $313.2 million of mortgage debt. We used $297.4 million of the net cash proceeds to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.

 

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

The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2005. We also entered into an agreement to sell an additional property in a separate transaction. These transactions will complete our planned disposition program, which began in June 1999.

 

On January 3, 2005, we completed the sale of the Doubletree Glenview to Lone Star Funds. The property has been converted to a Wyndham hotel and will be operated by us under a long-term management agreement.

 

On March 10, 2005, we completed the sale of the Wyndham Riverfront in New Orleans. All net proceeds were used to pay down debt.

 

Our Business Strengths

 

    Strong Brand Name. Our proprietary brands all have at least a 20-year history and our Wyndham brand is highly recognized in our industry. Our Wyndham brand, including Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, serves to identify high quality assets with a consistent and high level of customer service and reliability.

 

    Geographically Diverse Portfolio. To help mitigate the effects of regional downturns in the hotel industry, we have assembled a geographically diverse portfolio of hotels and resorts.

 

    Personalized Guest Experience. Through our innovative brand-enhancing program, Wyndham ByRequest®, we are able to provide each ByRequest member a personalized stay experience. Based on the member’s personal ByRequest profile, we arrange their guest room amenities before check-in. In addition, Wyndham ByRequest® allows us to customize on-going communications with members and tailor future travel benefits to our members’ ByRequest profile. At December 31, 2004, the program had over 2.1 million members.

 

Our Business Strategy

 

We have been building our brand by growing our management and franchise business and implementing innovative programs. Additionally, we have created brand operating efficiencies with revenue generation and cost containment programs.

 

    Dispose of non-strategic assets. Over the past several years we have sold, and we currently intend to sell, our non-strategic, non-convertible assets. These are properties that do not fit our proprietary brand profile because of the quality of the assets or the fact that they were encumbered by long-term licensing agreements with non-Wyndham brands. By disposing of these assets, we will be able to focus solely on being a branded operating company, as well as reduce our debt with the majority of the net proceeds from these asset sales. On December 30, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the 25 remaining non-strategic properties in our planned disposition program. We also entered into an agreement to sell an additional property in a separate transaction. These transactions will successfully complete our planned disposition program. Since implementing this plan in June of 1999, we have sold approximately 185 non-strategic properties with gross proceeds of over $2.7 billion.

 

   

Grow our management and franchise business. We have and will continue to focus our growth efforts in the area of new management and franchise contracts. This growth will enable us to expand our brand

distribution and increase our revenues through the fee income associated with these contracts. At December 31, 2004, we had 42 management contracts, 48 franchise agreements and six hotels under a strategic alliance. We are aggressively pursuing new management and franchise opportunities and will continue to geographically target major metropolitan areas and resort destinations. We have extensive experience in the lodging industry and we believe our industry knowledge, relationships and access to market information provide us a competitive edge with respect to identifying, evaluating and signing new hotel assets to the Wyndham brand.

 

    Build the Wyndham brand. We continue to support and implement programs to differentiate the Wyndham brand from our competitors.

 

    Wyndham ByRequest®. Our innovative guest recognition program allows our guests to personalize their stay at any of our branded properties. We customize on-going communication and future travel benefits to our members’ profiles, which we believe builds loyalty to the Wyndham brand. We will apply this successful model to other areas of the Company’s business to provide customers with an even more personalized and meaningful hotel experience.

 

    Golden Door. Owned by Wyndham, the world’s premier spa brand will continue to expand at select Wyndham resort properties. Additionally, we plan to launch a secondary spa brand, tied to the Golden Door name, as well as expand our exclusive Golden Door Skin Care product line in high-end retail outlets.

 

    Summerfield Suites by Wyndham. The RevPAR leader in the extended-stay hotel segment, Summerfield Suites by Wyndham is expected to grow substantially in the next 10 years, thereby expanding Wyndham’s fee-based income.

 

    Women On Their Way. Wyndham was the first hotel brand to dedicate an entire program to the emerging female business travel market. Wyndham has focused on women business travelers as a business opportunity since 1995 through its Women On Their Way initiative. The program has facilitated proprietary relationships with leading women business organizations and through these driven revenues for the brand. In celebration of the program’s 10th anniversary, Wyndham will launch various promotions throughout 2005 to reinforce the Company’s long-standing commitment.

 

    Technology. Wyndham will continue to make advancements in its technology, whether through the addition of Wi-Fi in every Wyndham guestroom; cutting-edge casino technology in its Puerto Rican resorts; or continued enhancements to wyndham.com, making it easier to book a reservation while offering more personalized features.

 

    Operate efficiently. From a revenue generation standpoint, we have continued to streamline our sales and booking efforts. All of our branded assets are under one global distribution code “WY”. This has enabled our central reservations office to efficiently cross-sell our properties and, thus, achieve a greater maximization of revenues. We have continued our cost containment programs. The programs include, among other things, a permanent reduction in our workforce at both our corporate office and our properties; and the renegotiation of service agreements and trade contracts.

 

Our Proprietary Brands

 

We market all of our proprietary products under the Wyndham brand umbrella, which includes four-star, upper upscale hotels that offer full-service accommodations to business and leisure travelers, and a five-star luxury resort brand. With hotels in major urban, suburban and resort markets, our Wyndham brand offers products geared to the specific needs of travelers based on their location, facilities and travel purpose.

 

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®. This brand includes our principal proprietary brand of hotels and resorts. Our hotel brand features upper upscale, full-service hotels that contain an average of 300 hotel rooms, generally between 15,000 and 315,000 square feet of meeting space and a full range of guest services and amenities for

business and leisure travelers as well as conferences and conventions.

Wyndham Luxury Resorts®. This brand includes five-star, luxury hotel properties featuring between 60 and 200 rooms, numerous fine dining options and other luxury and recreational amenities.

Each hotel features 90 to 200 suites in either interior or exterior corridor design.

 

Our Non-Proprietary Brands

 

Among our non-proprietary branded hotels, we own and/or operate 19 hotels aggregating over 5,100 rooms under franchise or brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel companies, including Hilton®, Hyatt®, Radisson®, Holiday Inn®, Doubletree® and Marriott®. The majority of our non-proprietary branded hotels are full-service hotels that operate in the upscale and upper upscale segments of the hotel industry. Our full-service hotels generally offer a range of conference facilities and banquet space, food and beverage accommodations, gift shops and recreational areas, including swimming pools. These hotels target both business and leisure travelers, including meetings, groups and individuals.

 

Certain Risk Factors

 

An investment in our class A common stock is subject to the significant risks inherent in our business. Readers should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the events described below could affect our business or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us.

 

General Business Risks

 

We may fail to compete effectively and lose business. The profitability of our hotels is subject to general economic conditions, competition, the desirability of particular locations, the relationship between supply of and demand for hotel rooms, and other factors. We generally operate in markets that contain numerous competitors and our continued success will depend, in large part, upon our ability to compete in areas such as access,

 

7


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

location, quality of accommodations, amenities, specialized services, cost containment and, to a lesser extent, the quality and scope of food and beverage services and facilities. Our operational and growth prospects also depend on the strength and desirability of our brands and our ability to maintain positive relations with our employees.

 

Changes in supply and demand, and other conditions, in our industry may adversely affect our revenues and profits. Our revenues and profitability may be adversely affected by (1) supply additions, (2) international, national and regional economic conditions, (3) changes in travel patterns, (4) taxes and government regulations that influence or determine wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs and (5) the availability of capital to allow us and potential hotel owners to fund investments. In particular, over-building in one or more sectors of our industry and/or in one or more geographic regions could lead to excess supply compared to demand and a decrease in hotel occupancy and/or room rates.

 

A sluggish economy may adversely impact our financial results and growth. A sluggish economy, lack of consumer confidence in the stock market and other national and world events, including acts of terrorism and/or war, have created a significant amount of uncertainty about future prospects of national and world economies. The overall long-term effect on us and the lodging industry is also uncertain. In the face of such uncertainty, we developed and implemented a contingency plan focused particularly on cost management. We cannot predict either the severity or duration of such economic declines, but weaker hotel performance will, in turn, have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be subject to risks related to internal control over financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Industry Risks

 

Our business is subject to operating risks common to the hotel industry. Our primary business is owning and managing hotels. This business is subject to operating risks common to the hotel industry, including:

 

    competition for guests from other hotels, a number of which may have greater marketing and financial resources and experience than us and our hotel management companies;

 

    increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased room rates;

 

    dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism, which may fluctuate and be seasonal;

 

    increases in energy costs and other travel expenses, which may deter travelers; and

 

    adverse effects of general and local economic conditions.

 

These factors could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues, our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be unable to obtain or transfer necessary operating licenses in hotel acquisitions. When we acquire hotels or hotel operating companies, we may be unable to transfer certain operating licenses or obtain new licenses in a timely manner, such as food and beverage licenses. Although hotels can sell alcoholic beverages under interim licenses or licenses obtained before we acquire them, there can be no assurance that these licenses will remain in effect until we (or the hotel management companies) obtain new licenses. If a hotel fails to have a food and beverage license or other operating licenses, this failure would adversely affect the hotel’s ability to generate revenues and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Consumers could develop brand loyalties to Internet based hotel reservation systems rather than to our lodging brands. A percentage of our hotel rooms are booked through Internet travel intermediaries such as Expedia.com, Hotel.com, Travelocity.com, Hotwire.com, Priceline.com and Orbitz.com. If this percentage increases, these intermediaries may be able to obtain higher commissions, reduced room rates or other significant contract concessions from us. Moreover, some of these Internet travel intermediaries are attempting to commoditize hotel rooms by increasing the importance of price and general indicators of quality at the expense of brand identification. These agencies hope that consumers will eventually develop brand loyalties to their reservation systems rather than to lodging brands. If this occurs, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Unexpected hotel renovation costs and capital expenditures could adversely affect our business. In general, hotels have an ongoing need for renovations and other capital improvements, particularly in older structures, including periodically replacing or refurbishing furniture, fixtures and equipment. Under the terms of our leases with third parties and mortgages on owned hotels, we must establish a reserve to pay for certain capital expenditures and for periodically replacing or refurbishing furniture, fixtures and equipment. If capital expenditures exceed our expectations, this excess would have an adverse effect on our available cash. In addition, we may acquire hotels that require significant renovation. When we renovate hotels, we incur risks, including the risk of environmental problems, construction cost overruns and delays, uncertainties as to market demand after we renovate, market demand deterioration after we begin renovating, and unanticipated competition emerging from other hotels.

 

We face significant competition for hotel acquisition opportunities. We may be competing for hotel acquisition opportunities with entities that have substantially greater financial resources. These entities may generally be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks of a hotel operator’s creditworthiness or a target hotel’s geographic location. Competition may generally reduce the number of hotel acquisition opportunities that we believe are suitable, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

 

We face significant competition for the acquisition of management and franchise contracts. We may be competing for hotel management and franchise contracts with entities that have substantially greater financial resources. Competition may generally reduce the number of hotel management and franchise contract opportunities that we believe are suitable, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

 

Seasonality of the hotel industry could make it difficult to predict the revenues of our various properties. 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 and fourth quarters.

 

Real Estate Risks

 

Changes in the real estate sector could adversely affect our operations. Our ability to generate revenues from our hotels may be adversely affected by risks common to the ownership, leasing or operation of real property, including:

 

    changes in national and international economic conditions;

 

    changes in local market conditions due to changes in general or local economic conditions and neighborhood characteristics;

 

    changes in interest rates;

 

    changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage financing;

 

    the impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws;

    the ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older structures;

 

    changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses;

 

    adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies;

 

    adverse changes in zoning laws;

 

    civil unrest or war;

 

    the impact of terrorist activity, threats of terrorist activity and responses thereto;

 

    acts of God, including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured losses); and

 

    other factors that are beyond our control.

 

We may be unable to sell properties when we want to because real estate investments are illiquid. Real estate is a relatively illiquid asset. Therefore, our ability to respond to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited. If we must sell a property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to dispose of it in the time period we desire or that the sales price of any property will equal or exceed the amount of our initial investment in the property.

 

We would be adversely affected if our property taxes increase. Our properties are subject to real property taxes. The real property taxes on our properties may increase or decrease as property tax rates change and as the value of the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Increases in property taxes may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be unable to obtain consents of ground lessors required for the sale of certain hotels. Some of our properties are subject to ground leases with third party lessors. In addition, we may acquire properties in the future that are subject to ground leases. If we wish to sell a property that is subject to a ground lease or wish to assign our leasehold interest in the ground lease, we may need the consent of third party lessors.

 

Environmental problems are possible and can be costly. Our operating costs may be affected by the cost of complying with existing and future environmental laws, ordinances and regulations. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be liable for the costs of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in real property currently or previously owned or operated by us. These laws often impose liability whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, our ability to borrow by using real property as collateral may be adversely affected by the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remediate the property properly. By arranging for the transportation, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances, we may also be liable for the costs of removing or remediating these substances at the disposal or treatment facility, even if we never owned or operated the disposal or treatment facility. We could be held liable under environmental laws used to impose liability for releases of hazardous materials, including asbestos-containing materials, into the environment. Third parties may seek recovery from us for personal injuries associated with exposure to hazardous materials on real property owned or operated by us. Environmental laws may also impose restrictions on the manner in which we may use or transfer a property or in which we operate our business on a property. In connection with our hotels, we may be potentially liable for any environmental costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability or remediating contaminated property and the cost of complying with environmental laws could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, there may be material environmental liabilities or compliance concerns of which we are currently unaware.

 

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance. We maintain insurance coverage on all of our hotels. Each of our leases with third parties and mortgages on owned hotels requires comprehensive insurance to be maintained on each of the applicable hotels, including liability, fire and extended coverage. We believe this

specified coverage is of the type and amount customarily obtained for hotels. Leases or mortgages for subsequently acquired hotels will contain similar provisions. However, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature caused by events such as earthquakes, floods, terrorism or war that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. We use our discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a view to maintaining appropriate insurance coverage on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This may result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of the lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also might make it impractical to use insurance proceeds to replace the property after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under these circumstances, the insurance proceeds received might not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to the damaged property.

 

Hotels that we acquire or develop may fail to perform according to our expectations. Under appropriate circumstances, we may pursue acquisitions of additional hotels and hotel operating companies and may pursue development opportunities. Acquisitions entail risks that the acquired hotels or hotel operating companies will fail to perform according to our expectations or that our cost estimates to acquire, operate and market the acquired properties will prove inaccurate. In addition, hotel development is subject to other risks, including risks of construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as receiving zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and incurring development costs for projects that are not pursued to completion.

 

Third party owners may terminate our management contracts. We manage hotels for third party owners pursuant to management contracts. These contracts may be acquired, terminated, renegotiated or converted to franchise agreements in the ordinary course of our business. In addition, the hotel property owner may terminate these management contracts if we fail to meet certain performance standards, if the property is sold to a third party, if the owner defaults on indebtedness encumbering the property, upon a foreclosure of the property, upon the closing of the property or upon certain business combinations involving us in which our name or current management team does not survive.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to replace terminated management contracts, or that the terms of renegotiated or converted contracts will be as favorable as the terms that existed before such renegotiations or conversion. We also will be subject to the risk that a hotel property owner will be unable to pay management fees to us. In addition, in certain circumstances, we may be required to make loans to or capital investments in hotel properties in connection with management contracts. If any of these hotel properties suffer poor operating results or if we lose our management contract, we may not recover our loan or capital investment.

 

We could lose the right to operate hotels under franchise or brand affiliations. We operate some of our hotels under franchise or brand affiliations. In addition, we may acquire hotels in the future that are operated under franchise or brand affiliations. Each franchised hotel must meet specified operating standards and other terms and conditions to continue its franchise license. The continued use of a brand generally depends upon the continuation of the management agreement related to that hotel with the hotel’s management entity. Franchisors typically inspect licensed properties periodically to confirm adherence to operating standards. Actions by us, our affiliates or the hotel management entities could cause a breach of these standards or other terms and conditions of a franchise license or the loss or cancellation of a franchise license. It is possible that a franchisor could condition the continuation of a franchise license on the completion of capital improvements that we determine are too expensive or otherwise unwarranted in light of general economic conditions or the operating results or prospects of the affected hotel. In that event, we may elect to allow the franchise license to lapse, which could result in our incurring significant termination costs. If a franchise or brand affiliation is terminated for any reason, we may try to obtain a suitable replacement franchise or brand affiliation, or to operate the hotel independent of a franchise or brand affiliation. If we lose a franchise or brand affiliation, we will lose the associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor or brand owner. This loss could adversely affect the value of the hotel and our results of operations.

Risks Relating to Gaming Operations

 

Our gaming operations depend on decisions by gaming authorities. We own and operate casino gaming facilities at El San Juan, El Conquistador and Condado Plaza in Puerto Rico. Each of these gaming operations is subject to extensive licensing, permitting and regulatory requirements administered by various governmental entities.

 

Typically, gaming regulatory authorities have broad powers related to the gaming operations licenses. They may revoke, suspend, condition or limit our gaming approvals and licenses, impose substantial fines and take other actions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our hotel/casinos. Our directors, officers and some key employees are subject to licensing or suitability determinations by various gaming authorities. If any of those gaming authorities were to find someone unsuitable, we would have to sever our relationship with that person.

 

Volatility in the high-end gaming business could adversely impact our financial condition. The high-end gaming business is more volatile than other forms of gaming. Fluctuations in customers’ high-end gaming activities could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a significant portion of our table gaming is attributable to a relatively small number of international customers. If the most significant of these customers reduces or quits his or her gaming, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Casino renovations and capital improvements could adversely affect our gaming business. Renovations and improvements can be affected by time delays in obtaining necessary governmental permits, legal challenges, shortage of materials and labor, work stoppages and unanticipated cost increases. We attempt to schedule renovations and improvements during traditionally lower occupancy periods in an effort to minimize disruption to the casino’s operations.

 

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness

 

We are substantially leveraged and have debt payments of approximately $144.8 million due in 2005 that cannot be extended at our option. In 2005, we can elect to extend $540.3 million ($358.8 million for three additional twelve-month periods and $181.5 for one additional twelve-month period) provided that there is not a default under the loans and other minor conditions are met which are under our control. The remaining 2005 maturities represent $144.8 million 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 their maturities in 2005, however there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we had $2.2 billion of total indebtedness; comprised of (i) $68.6 million of revolving credit availability under our revolving credit facility, (ii) $870.8 million of term loans I, (iii) $284.2 million of term loans II, (iv) $932.8 million of mortgage debt and (v) $41.1 million of capital lease obligations and other debt. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future, subject to certain limitations contained in the instruments and documents governing our indebtedness. Accordingly, we currently have significant debt service obligations.

 

Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences to stockholders including the following: (i) our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, future acquisitions, if any, and general corporate or other purposes may be impaired, or any such financing may not be on terms favorable to us; (ii) a substantial portion of our cash flow available from operations and investments after satisfying certain liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds that would otherwise be available to us; (iii) a substantial decrease in net operating cash flow or an increase in our expenses could make it difficult for us to meet our debt service requirements or force us to modify our operations; (iv) high leverage may place us at a competitive disadvantage and may make us vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy generally; and (v) because a portion

of our borrowings may be at variable rates of interest, we may be exposed to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2004, $1.9 billion of our indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates.

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, or to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend on our future performance, which to a certain extent will be subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet our debt service obligations and, to the extent that we cannot, we may lose some or all of our assets, including hotel properties. 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.

 

Risks Relating to Dilution of Our Common Stock

 

The series A and series B preferred stock are ultimately convertible, at the holder’s option, into a number of shares of Wyndham class A common stock equal to $100.00 divided by the conversion price, initially equal to $8.59 but subject to potential downward adjustments.

 

Our credit facility, as amended, prohibits us from paying the cash portion of the preferred dividend until expiration or further amendment of our credit facility. Under the terms of our preferred stock, if cash dividends are in arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, then an additional amount of dividends accrue at a rate per annum 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 all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. During 2004, we issued an additional stock dividend of 936,073 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $93.6 million because cash dividends totaling $102.3 million on the preferred stock had been in arrears and unpaid for a period of more than 60 days. As of December 31, 2004, the series A and series B preferred stock on an “as converted” basis would equate to 184.1 million shares of class A common stock using an $8.59 conversion price. The non-payment of the cash portion of the series A and series B preferred stock dividend is dilutive to the current holders of class A common stock.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2004, we employed approximately 18,500 employees. In our opinion, we have a good relationship with our employees and we retain appropriate support personnel to manage our operations.

Franchise and Brand Affiliations

 

As of December 31, 2004, all but two of our owned hotels are operated under franchise or brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel companies. Franchisors and brand operators provide a variety of benefits for our hotels, including national advertising, publicity and other marketing programs designed to increase brand awareness, training of personnel, continuous review of quality standards and centralized reservation systems. We generally are the licensee under the franchise agreements related to such hotels. Under these franchise agreements, franchise royalties and fees generally range up to approximately 10% of room revenue. The duration of these franchise agreements vary, but generally may be terminated upon prior notice or upon payment of certain specified fees.

 

Management of Hotels

 

As of December 31, 2004, we managed 42 hotels for third party owners pursuant to management agreements under which we are responsible for the day-to-day operations of these hotels. Of these managed hotels, we managed 36 hotels under our proprietary brands and six hotels under non-proprietary brands. The day-to-day operations of these hotels include managing hotel accommodations, meeting rooms and food and beverage services as well as hiring and training staff, planning and providing sales and marketing services, purchasing operating supplies, inventories and furniture, fixtures and equipment, providing routine repairs and maintenance, and performing hotel accounting functions, including the preparation of monthly financial statements. Management fees generally range up to approximately 5% of total revenue per managed hotel. The terms of the management agreements vary from hotel to hotel, but range from five to 20 years. As of December 31, 2004, the average remaining term for the management agreements was approximately 6.6 years.

 

Strategic Alliance

 

On December 1, 2003, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Viva Resorts. The 10-year agreement encompasses six Viva Wyndham Resorts located in the Bahamas, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Viva Wyndham Caribbean properties consist of the 276-room Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach—Grand Bahama Island, The Bahamas; the 500-room Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach – La Romana, Dominican Republic; the 330-room Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace – La Romana, Dominican Republic; and the 223-room Viva Wyndham Tangerine—Cabarete, Dominican Republic. The Viva Wyndham Mexican properties

include the 400-room Viva Wyndham Maya—Playa del Carmen, Mexico and the 234-room Viva Wyndham Azteca—Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The Viva Wyndham properties incorporate Wyndham brand standards and our guest recognition program, Wyndham ByRequest®.

 

ITEM 3. 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. On or about February 28, 2005, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement. Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, we shall issue 11 million shares of Wyndham common stock to the proposed settlement class. We also have agreed to contribute a maximum amount of $1 million to the settlement class, only in the event that the trading price of Wyndham common stock falls below a certain threshold for a defined period of time. Furthermore, we have agreed to allow the settlement class to participate in a rights offering under certain limited circumstances. The stipulation of settlement is subject to Court approval. As of December 31, 2004, we have recorded a reserve of $11.2 million to cover the cost of the settlement.

 

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. The Court has not yet certified a class. On or about September 30, 2004, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement with class counsel to settle the litigation. The stipulation of settlement is subject to Court approval. Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, 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 December 31, 2004, we have recorded 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. The Attorney General seeks damages, penalties and attorneys’ fees from the remaining defendants. 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 preliminary interpretation of the applicable penalty statute. The Attorney General has argued that the statute should be construed such that the maximum penalty would be $10,000 each time a consumer was allegedly deceived. 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 that could be imposed is $10,000 (exclusive of actual damages or attorneys’ fees). In the event a final judgment is entered in favor of Wyndham, the Attorney General will likely appeal.

 

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 little formal discovery has been taken and the Court has not yet certified a class. We have tentatively agreed to settle this case, without admitting liability. Under the proposed settlement, we would (i) provide a coupon for discounts at our properties to affected class members, (ii) make a $50,000 charitable donation, (iii) pay attorneys’ fees in an amount up to $240,000, and (iv) agree to make changes in our disclosures regarding resort fees. The Court has not yet held a hearing on the joint motion to preliminarily approved the settlement and certify a settlement class. As of December 31, 2004, we have recorded an adequate reserve to cover the cost of the settlement.

 

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 the names of complainants, it is unclear who the complainants are, and how many are involved. The focus of the investigation has been distribution of “service charges” to service employees. Wyndham Westborough’s Massachusetts counsel and counsel for seven Wyndham Westborough employees have settled all charges involving “service charge” issues and we are in receipt of

Index to Financial Statements

settlement agreements signed by all seven potential plaintiffs and their attorney. A number of Wyndham Westborough employees and ex-employees who are not represented by counsel have also sought payment of “service charges” collected by the hotel. In each instance in which the subject has been raised, Wyndham Westborough has made distributions to these individuals in return for their execution of a settlement agreement.

 

We are a party to a number of other claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business. However, we do not consider the ultimate liability with respect to these other claims and lawsuits to be material in relation to our consolidated financial condition or operations.

Dividends

 

We do not anticipate paying a dividend to our common stockholders and we are prohibited under the terms of our credit facilities 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 December 31, 2004, we have deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaling approximately $102.3 million. This amount is shown as dividends payable in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. 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 December 31, 2004, we have issued an additional stock dividend of 936,073 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $93.6 million.

Notes to Selected Financial Information

 

(1) For 2004, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the effect of unvested stock grants of 11,307,186 and 184,077,753 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 2003, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the effect of unvested stock grants of 13,241,106 and 167,906,293 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 2002, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the effect of unvested stock grants of 13,708,395 and 153,325,020 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 2001, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the dilutive effect of unvested stock grants of 4,613,000 and 138,592,000 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive. For 2000, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share the dilutive effect of unvested stock grants of 645,000, the option to purchase 104,000 shares of our class A common stock and 129,073,000 shares of our series A and series B preferred stock because they are anti-dilutive.
(2) For 2004, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 7,148,568 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $0.95 to $30.40 because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our class A common shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive. For 2003, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 8,214,628 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $0.48 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive. For 2002, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 9,683,681 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $0.85 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive. For 2001, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 10,853,511 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $1.75 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive. For 2000, we did not include in our computation of diluted earnings per share outstanding options to purchase 10,639,174 shares of our class A common stock at prices ranging from $2.0625 to $30.40 because they are anti-dilutive.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Background

 

Organization

 

Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (“Patriot”) was formed on April 17, 1995 as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) to acquire equity interests in hotel properties. On October 2, 1995, Patriot completed an initial public offering of its common stock and commenced its operations.

 

On July 1, 1997, Patriot merged into California Jockey Club (“Cal Jockey”). As part of this merger, Cal Jockey and Bay Meadows Operating Company (“Bay Meadows”) entered into a paired share arrangement under which both of their common stocks were paired and traded together. Also, Cal Jockey changed its name to Patriot, and Bay Meadows changed its name to “Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company.”

 

In January 1998, Wyndham Hotel Corporation merged into Patriot and, as part of that merger, Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company changed its name to “Wyndham International, Inc.” We will refer to Wyndham International, Inc. as it existed before June 30, 1999 as “old Wyndham.” Patriot and old Wyndham grew primarily by acquiring hotels and other related businesses. They financed these acquisitions with funds drawn on their revolving credit facilities and capital raised by issuing paired shares and by having their two operating partnerships issue limited partnership interests.

 

On June 30, 1999, we restructured our organization. As part of this restructuring:

 

    Patriot became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours;

 

    we and Patriot terminated the paired share arrangement;

 

    each outstanding paired share was converted into one share of our class A common stock; and

 

    Patriot terminated its status as a REIT effective January 1, 1999 and became a taxable corporation as of that date.

 

Also on June 30, 1999, we completed a $1 billion series B preferred stock equity investment, closed a new credit facility (comprised of a senior credit facility and an increasing rate loan facility), which has since been amended and restated, and closed on additional mortgage debt. Holders of our series B preferred stock are entitled to a quarterly dividend on a cumulative basis at a rate of 9.75% per year of which a portion is payable in additional shares of our series B preferred stock. Our series B preferred stock is convertible, at the holders’ option, into shares of our class B common stock. Also in 1999, we completed a rights offering of our series A preferred stock, which, except for voting rights, has substantially similar terms to our series B preferred stock. We used the proceeds of our series A preferred stock offering to redeem some of our series B preferred stock.

 

Our credit facility prohibits us from paying the cash portion of the preferred dividend until expiration or further amendment of our credit facility. Under the terms of our preferred stock, if cash dividends are in arrears and unpaid for a period of 60 days or more, an additional amount of dividends accrue at a rate per annum 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 all cash dividends in arrears have been paid in full. Such additional dividends are cumulative and payable in additional shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2004, we had issued an additional stock dividend of 936,073 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $93.6 million because cash dividends totaling $102.3 million on the preferred stock had been in arrears and unpaid for a period of more than 60 days.

 

On January 28, 2005, Mercury Special Situations Fund LP and Equity Resource Dover Fund LP issued a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of our series A preferred stock. The offer was amended on February 28, 2005 to extend the expiration date to March 14, 2005.

Asset Dispositions and Lease Terminations

 

Over the past several years we have sold, and we currently intend to sell, our non-strategic, non-convertible assets. These are properties that did not fit our proprietary brand profile because of the quality of the assets or the fact that they were encumbered by long-term licensing agreements with non-Wyndham brands. By disposing of these assets, we will be able to focus solely on being a branded operating company, as well as reducing our debt with the majority of the net proceeds from these asset sales. On December 30, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the 25 remaining non-strategic properties in our planned disposition program. Since implementing this plan in June of 1999, we have sold approximately 185 non-strategic properties with gross proceeds of over $2.7 billion.

 

In 2002, we sold the following assets:

 

    seven hotels and an investment in a restaurant venture in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $60.1 million after we repaid approximately $65.7 million of debt. Also, we used $38.7 million of the net cash proceeds from the sales of the assets to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility; and

 

    thirteen hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $202.5 million, after we repaid approximately $224.1 million of debt and placed $36.1 million in escrow under the terms of our senior credit facility for application by us in the future to make payments on existing mortgage indebtedness. Also, we used $127.6 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility. As of December 31, 2004, all of the $36.1 million placed in escrow has been applied in payment of existing mortgage indebtedness.

 

In 2003, we sold or terminated leases for the following assets:

 

    eighteen hotels, two parcels of undeveloped land and a golf venture were sold in separate transactions for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $107.4 million, after the repayment of mortgage debt of approximately $114.9 million. Also, we used $68.3 million of the net cash proceeds to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility, and we retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities; and

 

    Hospitality Properties Trust (“HPT”) terminated leases on 27 hotel properties (15 Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels) operated by two of our subsidiaries. HPT subsequently rebranded the hotel properties to third-party brands.

 

In 2004, we sold or terminated leases for the following assets:

 

    investments in 39 hotels and certain undeveloped land were sold in separate transactions for net cash proceeds of $308.7 million after payment of $313.2 million of mortgage debt. We used $297.4 million of the net cash proceeds to pay down a portion of the senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility, and retained the rest of the net cash proceeds in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facilities.

 

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

 

On December 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell 25 non-strategic hotels to a partnership comprised of a private investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs and affiliates of Highgate Holdings. The purchase price of the transaction is $366 million. As part of the agreement, the 15 Wyndham-branded assets included in the sale will remain in the brand’s portfolio pursuant to new franchise agreements. Impairments totaling $333.5 million were recorded on these 25 properties during 2004. Upon the close of the transaction in 2005, a gain of approximately $33.9 million will be recorded on the remainder of the assets in the portfolio. The

sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2005. We also entered into an agreement to sell an additional property in a separate transaction. These transactions will complete our planned disposition program, which began in June 1999.

 

At December 31, 2004, including the 25 non-strategic hotels, we had approximately $361.5 million of assets classified as held for sale, net of impairment. 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 January 3, 2005, we completed the sale of the Doubletree Glenview to Lone Star Funds. The property has been converted to a Wyndham hotel and will be operated by us under a long-term management agreement.

 

On March 10, 2005, we completed the sale of the Wyndham Riverfront in New Orleans. All net proceeds were used to pay down debt.

 

We adopted Interpretation 46(R) (“FIN 46R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as of January 1, 2004. Pursuant to the adoption of FIN 46R, we evaluated our joint ventures, management and franchise contracts to determine whether any agreements qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether, as such, we meet the criteria of a primary beneficiary. We identified the Wyndham Anatole management contract as a VIE where 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 46R 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 our exposure to the majority of the risks of loss. In 2004, $4.7 million was drawn against this letter of credit. Even though our risk of loss is limited solely to the $21 million, our projections indicated that there 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 $310.2 million in our consolidated assets at December 31, 2004. Our balance sheet also reflects the Wyndham Anatole mortgage debt and capital lease obligations of $168.9 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.

 

On December 22, 2004, we formed a joint venture with Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners (“LBREP”) to expand and develop Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, Wyndham’s upscale, extended-stay brand. The transaction included the sale of six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and the sale of an equity interest in the entity that owns our Summerfield brand to LBREP. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement with LBREP, we initially hold a 66.67% ownership interest in the joint venture, however, we have 50% voting rights. In addition, LBREP has a priority return. Therefore, in accordance with FIN 46R, our joint venture with LBREP is consolidated in our financial statements at December 31, 2004.

 

Indebtedness

 

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 within our control.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet our debt service obligations and, to the extent that we cannot, we may lose some or all of our assets, including hotel properties. 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.

 

During 2005, we have scheduled principal payments and debt maturities of approximately $685.1 million. Of that amount, we can elect to extend $540.3 million ($358.8 million for three additional twelve-month periods and $181.5 million for one additional twelve-month period). The remaining 2005 maturities represent $144.8 million 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 their maturities in 2005, however there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

Results of Operations: Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2003

 

Our room revenues were $491.6 million and $419.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our room revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $42.3 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our room revenues increased by approximately $29.6 million. Occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”) and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) increased 1.8%, 3.4% and 6%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR can be attributed to an increasing demand in the leisure group, corporate and Wyndham brand internet segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy, as well as the strategies implemented regarding Wyndham brand direct bookings through Wyndham.com, which increased to 387,800 reservations in 2004 from 291,623 reservations in 2003.

 

Our food and beverage revenues were $301.2 million and $236.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our food and beverage revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $52.6 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our food and beverage revenues increased by approximately $12.5 million. The increase is primarily attributable to increased occupancy, stronger outlet results and an increasing banquet and catering business.

 

Our other hotel revenues were $151 million and $146.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our other hotel revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $6.1 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our other hotel revenues decreased approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in casino revenue, which was unfavorably impacted by hurricanes in the third quarter of 2004, and communications revenue.

 

Our room expenses were $118.4 million and $102.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our room expense during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $9.8 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our room expenses increased by approximately $5.7 million due primarily to increased costs associated with increased occupancy and higher labors costs for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2003.

 

Our food and beverage expenses were $198.8 million and $163.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our food and beverage expenses during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $29.1 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our food and beverage expenses increased by approximately $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase consists of increases in food and beverage product costs and labor costs.

 

Our other hotel expenses were $377.7 million and $334.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our other hotel expenses during the year ended

December 31, 2004 was $31.8 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our other hotel expenses increased by approximately $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase is primarily due to higher utility costs, sales and promotion expenses and other minor operating expenses.

 

Our management fee and service fee income was $18.1 million and $17.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing an increase of 3.4% in 2004. The increase in our management fee and service fee income is primarily due to increases in hotel revenues upon which the fees are based and an increase in the number of managed hotels.

 

Our interest and other income was $3.6 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the elimination of interest income on our notes receivable from the Wyndham Anatole subsequent to December 31, 2003 due to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole.

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $86 million and $62.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2004 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2003 is primarily a result of the following: increases in severance expenses of $7.8 million associated with staff reductions at our corporate office, increases in litigation settlement expenses of $6.7 million primarily associated with the Johnson v Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. et al. settlement; increases in incentive bonus accruals of $4.5 million, expenses related to hurricane damage of $2.6 million in 2004, increases in salaries and wages of $2.4 million and expenses of $1.4 million in 2004 for fees related to compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $4.3 million.

 

Our interest expense was $192.3 million and $169 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $12.8 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our interest expense increased approximately $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2003. While our total debt has decreased, interest rates on certain debt have increased due to recent amendments and refinancings. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had approximately $2.2 billion (this includes $168.9 million in Wyndham Anatole debt) and $2.68 billion of debt, respectively. Also, the one-month LIBOR rate was 2.4% and 1.12% as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate excluding hedges was 6.51% for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to 5.92% for 2003.

 

Our depreciation and amortization expense was $100.8 million and $107 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the depreciation and amortization expense during the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $10.8 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2003. This decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2003 and the elimination of the amortization of management contract costs in 2004 related to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole.

 

The income tax benefit from continuing operations was $1.5 million and $50.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the income tax benefit is due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2003. 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. The decrease in our net deferred tax asset is primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. In addition, during 2004, we recorded net income tax benefits from continuing operations totaling $22 million primarily related to favorable adjustments and settlements of various tax matters.

Minority interests’ share of operations from consolidated subsidiaries was $9.6 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in minority interest is the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole during the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a gain of $48.4 million as compared to a gain of $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, for the change in the fair market value of the ineffective interest rate hedge contracts. Also, during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we paid $47.5 million and $49.2 million respectively, in settlement payments for ineffective hedges. In addition, we recorded amortization of $3.6 million (net of taxes of $2.4 million) and $3.8 million (net of taxes of $2.5 million) for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to earnings as a reduction of the transitional adjustment that was recorded in other comprehensive income in 2001.

 

The loss from discontinued operations was $385.5 million and $298.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in loss is attributable to the increase in impairment charges of $260.6 million due to our strategic plan to sell our non-strategic assets and to use the proceeds of the sales to reduce debt and overall leverage. The increase in loss was also impacted by a decrease in the income tax benefit associated with the loss from discontinued operations. These loss increases were partially offset by a decrease of $153.9 million related to the write-off of the remaining book value of the terminated HPT leases in 2003 and an increase in the gain on sale of assets of $31.3 million.

 

Our resulting net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $509.4 million compared to a net loss of $389.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Results of Operations: Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2002

 

Our room revenues were $419.7 million and $420.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our room revenues were flat for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. While occupancy increased 2.8%, ADR and RevPAR decreased 3.8% and 0.2%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The declines in ADR and RevPAR can be attributed to a reduced demand in the corporate group and commercial retail segments of our business as a result of the sluggish economy, travelers’ fears of exposure to contagious diseases and the effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom, offset by increased Wyndham.com bookings and leisure and corporate internet business.

 

Our food and beverage revenues were $236.1 million and $231.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in our food and beverage revenues is primarily attributable to the 3.4% increase in occupancy.

 

Our other hotel revenues were $146.1 million and $160.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decline in communications revenue, change in customer mix which produced less ancillary revenue, other minor operating revenues and reduced group cancellation revenues throughout our owned and leased hotel portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Our room expenses were $102.9 million and $100.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in room expenses was primarily due to increases in our labor, benefit and distribution costs attributable to the 2.8% increase in occupancy for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Our food and beverage expenses were $163.5 million and $163 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in food and beverage product costs associated with the 2.8% increase in occupancy.

Our other hotel expenses were $334.1 million and $343.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to reduced expenses consisting of lower insurance costs and other minor operating expenses.

 

Our management fee and service fee income was $17.5 million and $17.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. While our management fee and service fee income was flat, fees decreased primarily as a result of reductions in hotel revenue upon which the fees are based and the termination of ten contracts subsequent to 2002. The decrease in fees was offset in part by 27 new management and franchise contracts acquired subsequent to December 31, 2002.

 

Our interest and other income was $6.3 million and $7.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the reductions of our notes receivable in 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $62.2 million and $72.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of the following: reductions in bonus expenses of $8.2 million, reductions in payroll costs of $3.1 million, reductions in severance costs of $2.9 million and reductions in development and acquisition costs of $2.6 million. These reductions in general and administrative costs were offset by litigation settlement accruals of $6.8 million, increases in office equipment maintenance and supply costs of $1.7 million and increases in directors’ and officers’ insurance of $1.6 million.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, our bond offering cancellation costs were $3.8 million. We withdrew the offering of the proposed debt securities due to unfavorable market conditions.

 

Our interest expense was $169 million and $194.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This decrease is a result of a reduction in the amount of our total debt and lower interest rates. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, we had approximately $2.68 billion and $2.83 billion of debt, respectively. Also, the one-month LIBOR rate was 1.12% and 1.38% as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and our weighted average interest rate excluding hedges for the year ended December 31, 2003 was 5.92% as compared to 6.17% for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Our depreciation and amortization expense was $107 million and $104.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in depreciation expense is primarily due to depreciation of assets placed in service subsequent to December 31, 2002.

 

The income tax benefit from continuing operations was $50.2 million and $91.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in the tax benefit is due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to same period in 2002. 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. The decrease in our net deferred tax liability is primarily due to operating losses, impairment of assets, sale of assets and termination of leasehold interests.

 

Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries was a loss of $1.5 million and income of $51,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in loss is attributable primarily to lower operating results due to lower hotel revenues.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a gain of $33.3 million as compared to a loss of $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 for the change in the fair value of the ineffective interest rate hedge contracts. In addition, reductions of $1.2 million (net of taxes of $1.1 million) and $4.8 million (net of taxes of $3.2 million) were recorded against other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the effective derivatives. Also, during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we paid $49.2 million and $41.7 million, respectively, in settlement payments for

ineffective hedges. In addition, we recorded amortization of $3.8 million (net of taxes of $2.5 million) and $9.5 million (net of taxes of $6.3 million) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, to earnings as a reduction of the transitional adjustment that was recorded in other comprehensive income in 2001.

 

Loss from discontinued operations was $298.9 million and $53.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in loss is attributable to the increase in impairment charges of $127.4 million; and the write-off of the remaining book value of the terminated HPT leases of $153.9 million. The loss from discontinued operations was offset, in part, by an increase in the gain on sale of assets of $16.1 million and the increase in tax benefits of $28.4 million.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a cumulative effect of an accounting change of $324.1 million to reflect a write-off of goodwill upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 142.

 

Our resulting net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $389.6 million as compared to a net loss of $522.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

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 year ended December 31, 2004 compared with the year ended December 31, 2003

 

Wyndham branded properties include Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®, Wyndham Luxury Resorts®, Wyndham Garden Hotels® and Summerfield Suites by Wyndham. This segment represented approximately 95.5% and 94.7% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $922.5 million compared to $782.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of our total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $100.9 million. Depreciation and amortization expense for this segment was $99.1 million compared to $102.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of depreciation and amortization during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $10.8 million. Operating income for this segment was $141.6 million compared to $92.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Wyndham Anatole portion of the operating income during the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $19.5 million. Excluding the Wyndham Anatole, our revenue for this segment increased approximately $39.3 million, depreciation and amortization expense decreased $14 million and operating income increased approximately $30 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period of 2003. Increases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 2.4%, 3.7% and 7%, respectively, as demand increased in the corporate group and commercial retail segments of our business as a result of the recovering economy. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due primarily to certain assets becoming fully depreciated subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Non-proprietary branded properties consists of the operations of the Park Shore Hotel as the operations of our other non-proprietary branded properties are classified as discontinued operations. This segment represented less than one percent of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Total revenue for this segment was $6.7 million compared to $6.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for this segment was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Operating income for this segment was $2.3 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to increases in ADR

of 13.6% and RevPAR of 6.2% for the Park Shore Hotel, offset somewhat by a decrease of 5.5% in occupancy. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Other represents revenue from various operating businesses, including management and other service companies and the Golden Door Spa. Expenses in this segment are primarily interest and corporate general and administrative expenses. Total revenue for the segment was $36.3 million and $37.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in this segment’s revenue was primarily the result of reductions in notes receivable from the Wyndham Anatole subsequent to December 31, 2003 due to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole, partially offset by an increase in revenue for the Golden Door Spa and higher management fee and service fee income. Depreciation and amortization expense for this segment was $533,000 compared to $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense can be primarily attributed to the elimination of amortization of management contract costs in 2004 related to the consolidation of the Wyndham Anatole. Operating losses for this segment were $262 million and $235.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in operating losses was primarily due to the following: an increase in interest expense of $23.3 million ($12.8 million associated with consolidating the Wyndham Anatole and $10.5 million due to interest rate increases), an increase in severance expenses of $7.8 million, an increase in litigation settlement expense of $6.7 million, an increase in incentive bonus accruals of $4.5 million and an increase in management contract termination costs of $2.7 million. The increases were partially offset by a reduction in losses from derivative instruments of $17.2 million and a reduction in losses from the sale of assets of $4.9 million.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003 compared with the year ended December 31, 2002

 

Wyndham branded properties represented approximately 94.7% and 94.9% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Total revenue for this segment was $782.2 million compared to $794.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for this segment was $102.3 million compared to $103 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operating income for this segment was $92.1 million compared to $96.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Decreases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to a decline in ADR of 3.7% in the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of the sluggish economy, travelers’ fears of exposure to contagious diseases and the effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The decrease in ADR was partially offset by an increase in occupancy of 2.3% for the year ended December 31, 2003 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. RevPAR remained flat in 2003 when compared to 2002 for the Wyndham branded properties. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due primarily to certain assets becoming fully depreciated subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Non-proprietary branded properties represented less than one percent of our total revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Total revenue for this segment was $6.4 million compared to $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for this segment remained constant at $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Operating income for this segment was $1.7 million and $487,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increases in revenue and operating income for this segment can be primarily attributed to increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 23.4%, 7.2% and 49.3%, respectively, for the Park Shore Hotel.

 

Other represents revenue from various operating businesses, including management and other service companies and the Golden Door Spa. Expenses in this segment are primarily interest and corporate general and administrative expenses. Total revenue for the segment was $37.2 million and $38.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in this segment’s revenue was primarily the result of a reduction in dividend and interest income from investments that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2002. Depreciation and amortization expense for this segment was $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003

compared with $480,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of management contract costs and trade names. Operating losses for this segment were $235.8 million and $334.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in operating losses was primarily due to the following: reductions in losses from derivative instruments of $62.7 million, reductions in interest expense of $26 million, reductions in bonus expenses of $8.2 million, reductions in management, leasehold and license agreement costs of $4.5 million, reductions in bond cancellation costs of $3.8 million, reductions in payroll costs of $3.1 million, reductions in severance costs of $2.9 million and reductions in development and acquisition costs of $2.6 million. The reductions were offset by a litigation settlement accrual of $6.8 million, increases in losses on the sale of assets of $4.9 million, increases in office equipment maintenance and supply costs of $1.7 million and increases in directors’ and officers’ insurance of $1.6 million.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On December 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell 25 non-strategic hotels to a partnership comprised of a private investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs and affiliates of Highgate Holdings. The purchase price of the transaction is $366 million. As part of the agreement, the 15 Wyndham-branded assets included in the sale will remain in the brand’s portfolio pursuant to new franchise agreements. Impairments totaling $333.5 million were recorded on certain of these 25 properties during 2004. Upon the close of the transaction in 2005, a gain of approximately $33.9 million will be recorded on the remainder of the assets in the portfolio. The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2005. We also entered into an agreement to sell an additional property in a separate transaction. These transactions will complete our planned disposition program, which began in June 1999.

 

On January 3, 2005, we sold the Doubletree Glenview to Lone Star Funds. The property has been converted to a Wyndham hotel and will be operated by us under a long-term management agreement.

 

On January 28, 2005, Mercury Special Situations Fund LP and Equity Resource Dover Fund LP issued a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of our series A preferred stock at a price of $30 per share. The offer was amended on February 28, 2005 to extend the expiration date to March 14, 2005.

 

On or about February 28, 2005, we entered into a stipulation of settlement with regard to the legal proceeding entitled Johnson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. et al., and discussed under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” on page 17. Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, we shall issue 11 million shares of Wyndham common stock to the proposed settlement class. We also have agreed to contribute a maximum amount of $1 million to the settlement class, only in the event that the trading price of Wyndham common stock falls below a certain threshold for a defined period of time. Furthermore, we have agreed to allow the settlement class to participate in a rights offering under certain limited circumstances. The stipulation of settlement is subject to Court approval. An accrual of $11.2 million was recorded as of December 31, 2004 related to the settlement.

 

On March 10, 2005, we completed the sale of the Wyndham Riverfront in New Orleans. All net proceeds were used to pay down debt.

 

On March 11, 2005, we announced we have arranged to refinance our corporate credit facility and the majority of our outstanding mortgage debt. We will refinance approximately $1.65 billion of our outstanding debt. The refinancing, which is expected to close early in the second quarter 2005, provides an extension of corporate debt maturity to 2011. Additionally, the debt pre-funds up to $100 million of capital to invest in our owned properties.

 

Statistical Information

 

During 2004, our portfolio of owned and leased hotels experienced increases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of approximately 1.8%, 3.4% and 6%, respectively, as compared to 2003. We attribute the increases in

occupancy, ADR and RevPAR primarily to improved brand performance resulting from our efforts to build our brand through innovative programs and increased demand in the lodging industry as a result of the recovering economy. The following table sets forth certain statistical information for 2003 and 2004 for the 67 hotels we owned and leased during 2004 including the hotels we sold in December 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2004 were $24.3 million, inclusive of $1.1 million of Wyndham Anatole cash and cash equivalents. Our restricted cash was $77.8 million, inclusive of $4.8 million of Wyndham Anatole restricted cash. At December 31, 2003, our cash and cash equivalents were $62.4 million and our restricted cash was $130.5 million. Restricted cash is comprised of furniture, fixture and equipment reserves, tax and insurance escrows, derivative collateral, escrows required under our credit facility, 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 $45.4 million, $62.6 million and $76.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operational cash flows declined in 2004 primarily due to a reduction in cash generated from hotel operations as a result of the hotels sold.

 

Cash Flows from Investing and Financing Activities

 

Cash flows provided by our investing activities were $585.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 resulting primarily from proceeds received from the sale of assets during 2004 and the change in restricted cash, partially offset by renovation expenditures at certain hotels. Cash flows used in financing activities of $669.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 were primarily related to principal repayments made on our debt as a result of asset sales.

 

Cash flows provided by our investing activities were $137.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, resulting primarily from proceeds received from the sale of assets during 2003. This was offset by renovation expenditures at certain hotels, the acquisition of a hotel property and changes in our restricted cash reserves during the period. Cash flows used in financing activities of $174.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 were primarily related to principal repayments made on our debt.

 

Cash flows provided by our investing activities were $425.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, resulting primarily from asset sales during 2002. This was partially offset by renovation expenditures at certain hotels. Cash flows used by our financing activities of $631 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 were primarily related to the net principal repayments made on our debt as a result of asset sales.

 

Debt

 

As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately $68.6 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $870.8 million outstanding on term loans I and $284.2 million outstanding on term loans II.

 

33

Additionally, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $65.5 million. Also, as of December 31, 2004, we had $932.8 million of mortgage debt outstanding that encumbered 30 hotels and capital leases and other debt of $41.1 million, resulting in total indebtedness of approximately $2.2 billion. We have one covenant under our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility. The interest coverage ratio requirement is 1.25x to 1.0x. Our interest coverage ratio as of December 31, 2004 was 1.38x to 1.0x. Included in the total indebtedness is approximately $114.3 million of debt associated with assets held for sale and $168.9 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 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We are seeking to refinance the remaining scheduled principal payments prior to their maturities; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately $190 million in liquidity. Our liquidity is defined as revolver availability ($179.7 million) plus cash in our overnight accounts ($10.3 million).

 

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 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 December 31, 2004, under the terms of the applicable credit facilities, loan agreements and lease agreements, our principal amortization and balloon payment requirements and our future five-year minimum lease payments are summarized as follows:

(4) Subsequent to December 31, 2004, mortgage debt was paid down by $9.7 million due to asset sales.
(5) Office, hotel and ground leases are operating leases and are included in operating expenses.

 

During 2005, we have scheduled principal payments and debt maturities of approximately $685.1 million. Of that amount, we can elect to extend $540.3 million ($358.8 million for three additional twelve-month periods and $181.5 million for one additional twelve-month period) provided that there is not a default under the loans and other minor conditions are met which are within our control. The remaining maturities represent $144.8 million 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 their maturities; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. During 2006, we have scheduled principal payments and debt maturities of approximately $1.3 billion. Of that amount, we can elect to extend $28 million for three additional twelve-month periods. Of the remaining 2006 maturities, we are seeking to extend or refinance these debt maturities, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

Dividends

 

We do not anticipate paying a dividend to our common stockholders and we are prohibited under the terms of our credit facilities 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 our senior credit facility and increasing rate loans facility from paying cash dividends on the series A and series B preferred stock. As of December 31, 2004, we have deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaling approximately $102.3 million. This amount is shown in the balance sheet as dividends payable as of December 31, 2004. 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 December 31, 2004, we have issued an additional stock dividend of 936,073 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $93.6 million.

 

Renovations and Capital Improvements

 

During 2004, we invested approximately $92.1 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 2005, we anticipate spending approximately $75 million in capital expenditures. 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

 

35


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

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.

 

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 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.

 

We have reserves for taxes and associated interest that may become payable in future years as a result of audits by tax authorities. Although we believe that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are reasonable, we nevertheless have established tax and interest reserves in recognition that various taxing authorities may challenge the positions taken by us resulting in additional liabilities for taxes and interest. The

 

36


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

tax reserves are reviewed as circumstances warrant and adjusted as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, additional or reduced exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, release of administrative guidance, or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue.

 

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 December 31, 2004, our balance sheet included an estimated liability with respect to this self-insurance program of $29.7 million.

 

Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. During the year ended December 31, 2004, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a portion of our variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 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 analyses, 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 defendants 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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The objective of FIN 46R 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 46R also requires additional disclosure by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The disclosure provisions of FIN 46R became effective upon issuance. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46R 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 adopted FIN 46R 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 46R 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 $88.9 million, primarily representing the net carrying value at December 31, 2004 of our investment in the management contract and the two previously issued notes receivable. However, we expect to recover the recorded amount of our investment in the Wyndham Anatole. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-19 for the condensed financial information of the Wyndham Anatole as of December 31, 2004.

 

On December 22, 2004, we formed a joint venture with LBREP to expand and develop Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, Wyndham’s upscale, extended-stay brand. The transaction included the sale of six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and the sale of an equity interest in the entity that owns our Summerfield brand to LBREP. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement with LBREP, we initially hold a 66.67% ownership interest in the joint venture, however, we have 50% voting rights. In addition, LBREP has a priority return. Therefore, in accordance with FIN 46R, our joint venture with LBREP is also included in our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 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 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 $22.6 million in cash. Such amount is lower than the carrying amount of the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries by $1.4 million.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (Revised 2004), “Shared-Based Payment.” SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Among other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting permitted under APB 25, and requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar share-based payment awards. Under SFAS 123R, share-based payment awards are expensed based on the fair value of the awards on their grant dates and the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. The fair values of the share-based payment awards are estimated using an option-pricing model that appropriately reflects a company’s specific circumstances and the economics of the company’s share-based payment transactions. Compensation expense for share-based payment awards, along with the related tax effects, is recognized as the awards vest. SFAS 123R also requires the tax benefit associated with these share-based payment awards be classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flow rather than operating activities as currently permitted. We will be required to adopt SFAS 123R in the third quarter of 2005. The provisions of SFAS 123R apply to all outstanding and unvested share-based payment awards at the company’s adoption date. SFAS 123R offers alternative transition methods of adopting this final rule. At the present time, we have not determined which alternative method we will use.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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 December 31, 2004. For variable rate debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows by expected maturity date and contracted interest rates at December 31, 2004.

 

    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 December 31, 2004.

The remaining maturities represent $144.8 million 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.
(2) The Wyndham Anatole debt of $168.9 million is included, however, we are not a party to nor guarantor of this debt (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

From December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004, the liability for derivative instruments decreased by $48.1 million. Our derivative portfolio consists entirely of interest rate protection agreements, which are valued based on the present value of future expected hedge payments over the remaining term of each interest rate hedge. Since the hedges have moved closer to their maturity date, the present value of future expected hedge payments has decreased. Consequently, the negative market value on the hedges has decreased which resulted in a decrease to the liability for derivative instruments.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of December 31, 2004, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chairman, President 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, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

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, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Status of Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we are in the process of conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

The evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting has not yet been completed. In late November 2004, the SEC issued an exemptive order providing a 45-day extension for the filing of these reports and attestations by eligible companies. We are electing to utilize this 45-day extension, and, therefore, this Form 10-K does not include these reports. These reports will be included in an amended Form 10-K expected to be filed in April 2005. During 2004, we spent considerable time and resources analyzing, documenting and testing our system of internal controls. In connection with this process, we have identified a control deficiency with respect to how we account for deferred income taxes and conclusions reached regarding the related valuation allowance that is being remediated. This deficiency resulted from ineffective controls over reconciliations of our deferred tax asset and liability accounts and related valuation allowances. This control deficiency had no impact on our revenues, cash flows or earnings before taxes. The control deficiency is considered to be a material weakness that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement to the financial statements will not be prevented or detected under the rules specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2. There can be no assurance that as a result of the ongoing evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, additional deficiencies will not be identified or that any additional deficiencies identified, either alone or in combination with others, will not be considered a material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

Other than the matters discussed above, during the three-month period ended December 31, 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.

(1) The 15,815,904 consists of 8,694,785 of stock options outstanding and 7,121,119 of restricted unit awards outstanding at December 31, 2004.
(2) The figure set forth in column (b) reflects the weighted average exercise price for the 8,694,785 stock options outstanding under our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2004. In addition to such stock options, 7,121,119 restricted unit awards were also outstanding under our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2004. These restricted unit awards entitle the recipients to receive shares of our class A common stock upon the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, including the satisfaction of certain vesting requirements. Since no exercise price is payable with respect to the restricted unit awards, such restricted unit awards were excluded from the calculation of the weighted average exercise price.
(3) The figure set forth in column (c) reflects the number of securities available for issuance under our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2004. Under the Second Amendment and Restatement of our 1997 Incentive Plan, the number of shares available for grant is equal to 10% of the outstanding shares of our class A common stock on a fully diluted basis. For purposes of this plan, “fully diluted basis” means the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of our series A and series B convertible preferred stock, the assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options and the assumed conversion of all units of partnership interest in Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. and Wyndham International Operating Partnership, L.P.

1. Organization:

 

Wyndham International, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “Wyndham”, or the “Company”) is a fully integrated and multi-branded hotel enterprise that operates primarily in the upper upscale and luxury segments. As of December 31, 2004, we owned interests in 55 hotels with over 18,400 guestrooms and leased 5 hotels from third parties with over 900 guestrooms. In addition, we managed 42 hotels for third party owners with over 11,100 guestrooms, franchised 48 hotels with over 9,900 guestrooms and had a strategic alliance with a third party for 6 hotels with over 1,900 rooms.

 

Wyndham as currently constituted, was formed through the June 30, 1999 restructuring and reorganization of Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Patriot”) and Wyndham International, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Old Wyndham”). Prior to June 30, 1999, the shares of common stock of Patriot were paired and traded together with the shares of Old Wyndham, on a one for one basis, as a single unit pursuant to a stock pairing arrangement, and were referred to as paired shares.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

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

 

Partnerships, Corporations and Limited Liability Companies—In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) 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. We adopted FIN 46R as of January 1, 2004.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—The preparation of 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 we believe 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.

 

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, management will prepare undiscounted and discounted cash flow projections, which require judgments that are both subjective and complex.

 

Our management uses its judgment in projecting which assets we will sell within the next twelve months. These judgments are based on 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.

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 ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.

 

We have reserves for taxes and associated interest that may become payable in future years as a result of audits by tax authorities. Although we believe that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are reasonable, we nevertheless have established tax and interest reserves in recognition that various taxing authorities may challenge the positions taken by us resulting in additional liabilities for taxes and interest. The tax reserves are reviewed as circumstances warrant and adjusted as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, additional or reduced exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, release of administrative guidance, or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue.

 

We maintain a paid loss deductible insurance plan for commercial general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation loss exposures related to the hotel operations. The primary loss deductible retention limit is currently $1,000 per occurrence for general liability, $250 per occurrence for automobile liability and $500 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 December 31, 2004, our balance sheet included an estimated liability with respect to this self-insurance program of $29,656.

 

Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. During the year ended December 31, 2004, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a portion of our variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 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 the derivative instruments. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analyses, 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 the 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 interest expense being either higher or lower

than might otherwise have been incurred on the 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 defendants in lawsuits that arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. Management uses 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.

 

Investment in Real Estate and Related Improvements

 

The hotel properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets of 35 to 40 years for the hotel buildings and improvements and 3 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. These estimated useful lives are based on management’s knowledge of the properties and the industry in general.

 

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

 

Interest associated with borrowings used to finance substantial hotel renovations is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets. No interest was capitalized in 2004, 2003 and 2002, as there were no substantial hotel renovations.

 

We periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine if events and circumstances exist indicating that the assets might be impaired. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, we will prepare projections of undiscounted cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property, to determine if the amounts estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying amount based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset. When we identify an asset held for sale, we estimate the net selling price of such asset. If the net selling price of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a reserve for loss is established. Depreciation is no longer recorded once we identify an asset as held for sale. Net selling price is estimated as the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold (fair value) less costs to sell. Fair value is determined at prevailing market conditions, appraisals or current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers, if appropriate. We recorded impairment of $426,034, $165,403 and $38,013 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash is comprised of furniture, fixture and equipment reserves, tax and insurance escrows, derivative collateral, deferred maintenance reserves and ground rent reserves.

 

Inventories

 

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

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

 

Our investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries includes investments in five entities ranging from approximately 1% to 50%. Investments in partnerships and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting when we have a 20% or more ownership interest or exercise significant influence over the venture. If our ownership is less than 20% and we do not exercise significant influence, the investment is accounted for under the cost method.

 

We review our investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries periodically for other than temporary declines in market value. For any decline that is considered other than temporary, we record an impairment as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. Estimated fair values are based on projections of cash flows and market capitalization rates.

 

Notes and Other Receivables

 

Notes and other receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Interest income on notes and other receivables is recognized as earned. Receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on adequacy of collateral and/or creditworthiness of borrower. Impairments are recorded as necessary.

 

Intangibles

 

Goodwill was recognized in connection with the acquisition of certain businesses and was amortized utilizing the straight-line method over a period of 10 to 40 years. However, on January 1, 2002, we completed the two-step process prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for (1) testing for impairment and (2) determining the amount of impairment loss related to goodwill associated with the reporting unit. Accordingly, in January 2002, we recorded an impairment charge of $324,102 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, we did not record $12,136 of amortization in 2002, and will not be recording $12,136 of amortization annually going forward. Upon implementation of SFAS 142, we identified finite lived intangible assets related to our trade names and determined that there was no indication of impairment on these finite lived intangible assets.

 

The costs associated with the acquisition of management contracts and trade names have been recorded as deferred costs. Amortization of management contracts is computed using the straight-line method over the term of the related management agreements. No charges were recognized in 2004 for the remaining unamortized cost of management contracts lost. During 2003 and 2002, we recognized charges for the remaining unamortized cost of management contracts lost of $1,946 and $6,445, respectively. Amortization of trade names costs is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 years.

 

The costs associated with the acquisition of leaseholds for hotel properties leased from third party owners have been recorded as deferred costs. Leasehold costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leasehold agreement. During 2003, we recognized a charge for the remaining unamortized cost of leasehold contracts lost of $153,909.

The aggregate amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $12,902 $16,523 and $23,160, respectively.

 

The estimated amortization expense for the following five years is as follows:

   $ 9,362

   $ 9,396

2007

   $ 8,647

2008

   $ 8,578

2009

   $ 8,376

 

We review the carrying value of our 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 we expect to hold and use may not be recoverable, we estimate 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, we recognize an impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. In addition, we periodically evaluate the remaining useful lives of our intangible assets to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that a revision of the remaining amortization period is warranted.

Deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis (which approximates the interest method) over the terms of the related loans, which range from one to ten years. Franchise costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related franchise agreements.

 

Income Taxes

 

We record our provision for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the liability method of SFAS 109, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse (see Note 12).

 

Minority Interest in the Operating Partnerships

 

Minority interest in the Operating Partnerships (“OP”) includes adjustments for the minority partners’ share of the net income (loss) as defined by the partnership agreement and certain other adjustments for the issuance or redemption of OP units.

 

Minority Interest in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries

 

We have entered into a number of joint ventures in which a third party owns a minority interest. For financial reporting purposes, the financial position and results of operations for each joint venture are included in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Wyndham Anatole is included in our consolidated financial statements pursuant to FIN 46R.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Earnings per share disclosures for all periods presented have been calculated in accordance with requirements of SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share”. We compute basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. We include shares of common stock granted to our officers and employees in the computation only after the shares become fully vested. We compute diluted earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods presented. The diluted earnings per share computations include the dilutive impact of options to purchase common stock which were outstanding during the period calculated by the “treasury stock” method, unvested stock grants and other restricted awards to officers and employees and convertible preferred shares (see Note 7).

Stock Compensation

 

We account for our stock compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and we intend to continue to do so until we are required to expense stock-based employee compensation in compliance with the requirements of SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which becomes effective for us in the third quarter of 2005. At December 31, 2004, no stock-based employee compensation cost has been 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. Had compensation cost for our stock option-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the method pursuant to SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, our net loss and loss per common share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Revenue Recognition

 

We primarily own, operate, manage and franchise hotel properties. Revenue is generally recognized when rooms are occupied and as services are performed. Hotel revenue consists primarily of room rentals, food and beverage sales and other activities from owned and leased hotels. Management and service fees primarily represent management and franchise fees earned from third-party owned hotels we manage. Management fees include a base fee, which is generally a percentage of hotel revenue, and an incentive fee, which is generally based on the hotel’s profitability. We recognize base fees as revenue when earned in accordance with the terms of the contract. Incentive fees are not recognized until the end of the year based on the hotel’s annual profitability. Franchise fees represent fees in connection with the franchise of our brand from third-party owners. We recognize franchise fee revenue in accordance with SFAS 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue.” Initial franchise fees are recognized when substantially all of the initial services or conditions relating to the franchise contract have been performed or satisfied. Continuing franchise fees are recognized as the fees are earned and become receivable from the franchise. Payments received in advance of revenue being earned under the franchise agreements are deferred and classified in accrued expenses.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries not maintained using U.S. dollars are remeasured into the U.S. dollar functional currency for consolidation and reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of non-U.S. operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in shareholders’ equity. Realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in results of operations.

Advertising Costs

 

We participate in various advertising and marketing programs. Production costs of commercials are charged to operations in the period during which the commercial is first aired. The costs of other advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed in the period incurred. We have recognized advertising expenses of $27,094, $28,995 and $37,201 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Self Insurance

 

We are self-insured for various levels of general liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation and employee medical coverage up to certain levels. Accrued expenses include the estimated cost from unpaid incurred claims of $29,656 and $26,617 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We base our accrual on a range of estimates of unpaid incurred claims provided by a third party actuary.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Concentrations

 

We currently invest primarily in hotel properties. The hotel industry is highly competitive and our hotel investments are subject to competition from other hotels for guests. Each of our hotels competes for guests primarily with other similar hotels in its immediate vicinity and other similar hotels in its geographic market. We believe that brand recognition, location, quality of the hotel, services provided and price are the principal competitive factors affecting our hotel investments.

 

Our financial instrument exposure to concentration of credit risk consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Our funds are deposited with high-credit-quality financial institutions and at times, these funds may be in excess of the federal depository insurance limit.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosures about the fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

Management estimates the fair values of (i) accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments; (ii) the notes receivable approximate carrying value based upon effective borrowing rates for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities; and (iii) the borrowings under the revolving credit facility, term loan and various other mortgage notes approximate carrying value because these borrowings accrue interest at floating interest rates based on market. We estimate the fair value of our fixed rate debt generally using discounted cash flow analysis

based on our current borrowing rates for debt with similar maturities. The estimated fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2004 was approximately $264,197 compared to a book value of $263,581.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

We account for our derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138.

 

On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate 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, we have 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.

 

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our 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. We also formally assess (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.

 

We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when (1) we determine 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 we discontinue 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, we will carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the fair value in current-period earnings.

 

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 and fourth quarters.

Recent Pronouncements

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” 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 46R also requires additional disclosure by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The disclosure provisions of FIN 46R became effective upon issuance. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46R 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 adopted FIN 46R 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 46R 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 $88,852, primarily representing the net carrying value at December 31, 2004 of our investment in the management contract and the two previously issued notes receivable. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the condensed financial information of the Wyndham Anatole as of December 31, 2004.

 

On December 22, 2004, we formed a joint venture with Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners (“LBREP”) to expand and develop Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, Wyndham’s upscale, extended-stay brand. The transaction included the sale of six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham and the sale of an equity interest in the entity that owns our Summerfield brand to LBREP. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement with LBREP, we initially hold a 66.67% ownership interest in the joint venture however, we have 50% voting rights. In addition, LBREP has a priority return. Therefore, in accordance with FIN 46R, our joint venture with LBREP is also included in our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 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 became effective at the beginning of their third quarters. SFAS 150 was effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, SFAS 150 went 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 $22,646 in cash. Such amount is lower than the carrying amount of the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries by $1,390.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, “Shared-Based Payment”. SFAS 123R requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar share-based payment awards. Under SFAS 123R, share-based payment awards are expensed based on the fair value of the awards on their grant dates and the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. The fair values of the share-based payment awards are estimated using an option-pricing model that appropriately reflects a company’s specific circumstances and the economics of the company’s share-based payment transactions. Compensation expense for share-based payment awards, along with the related tax effects, is recognized as the awards vest. SFAS 123R also requires the tax benefit associated with these share-based payment awards be classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flow rather than operating activities as currently permitted. Public companies with calendar year-ends will be required to adopt SFAS 123R in the third quarter of 2005. The provisions of SFAS 123R apply to all outstanding and unvested share-based payment awards at the company’s adoption date. SFAS 123R offers alternative transition methods of adopting this final rule. At the present time, we have not determined which alternative method we will use.

 

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 retained earnings.

We classify certain assets as held for sale based on having the authority and intent of entering into commitments for sale transactions expected to close in the next twelve months. At December 31, 2004, certain assets were classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the impairment for assets held for sale totaled $72,313 and $11,405, respectively. The assets held for sale had income from operations of $42,413 and $8,824 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, net of amounts owned by third party limited partners.

 

We continue to evaluate the assets in our total portfolio and to pursue an orderly disposition of our held for sale assets. There can be no assurance if or when sales will be completed or whether such sales will be completed on terms that will enable us to realize the full carrying value of such assets.

Asset Sales

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we sold our investments in 39 hotels and certain undeveloped land in separate transactions. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $308,676, after the repayment of mortgage debt of approximately $313,248. We recorded a net gain of $40,831 as a result of these asset sales. Also, we used $297,407 of the net cash proceeds 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.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we sold our investments in eighteen hotels, certain undeveloped land and a golf venture in separate transactions. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $107,386, after the repayment of mortgage debt of approximately $114,878. We recorded a net gain of $4,552 as a result of these asset sales. Also, we used $68,282 of the net cash proceeds 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.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003, leases on 27 hotel properties (15 Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham and 12 Wyndham Hotels and Wyndham Garden Hotels) operated by two subsidiaries of Wyndham were terminated by Hospitality Properties Trust (“HPT”). HPT subsequently rebranded these hotel properties to third-party brands.

 

During 2002, we sold seven hotels and an investment in a restaurant venture, in separate transactions, for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $60,125, after repayment of approximately $65,659 of mortgage debt. In addition, we sold thirteen hotels in a single transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $202,467 after repayment of approximately $224,113 of mortgage debt. As a result of asset sales, we recorded a net loss of $3,699. Also, we used $166,254 of the net cash proceeds from the asset sales to pay down a portion of our senior credit facility and increasing rate loan facility and placed $36,141 in escrow under the terms of the senior credit facility for future application to payments on our existing mortgage indebtedness. As of December 31, 2004, all of the escrowed cash proceeds have been applied in payment of existing mortgage indebtedness.

 

Interstate

 

During 2000, Wyndham agreed to the redemption of its aggregate 55% non-voting economic interest (the “Wyndham Interest”) in Interstate Hotels, LLC (“IH LLC”), a principal operating subsidiary of Interstate Hotel Company (“IHC”). IH LLC transferred to us a management agreement for one hotel owned by us and amended management agreements with respect to six other hotels owned by us to reduce the management fees and to permit termination by the owner upon 30 days notice. In addition, IH LLC redeemed approximately 9% of the Wyndham Interest and substantially all of the remainder was converted into a preferred membership interest in IH LLC. As additional consideration for the redemption and conversion of the Wyndham Interest, we caused our representative on IHC’s Board of Directors to resign and relinquished our right to appoint a member to IHC’s Board of Directors in the future. In addition, we granted IHC an option exercisable within 90 days of October 20, 2000, to acquire all of IHC’s stock we owned at a weighted average trading price per share, provided that the purchase price not be less than $3.00 per share nor more than $4.00 per share. On December 3, 2000, the common stock was acquired for approximately $597. On July 12, 2001, IH LLC, pursuant to a redemption agreement, called for the redemption of our preferred interest in IH LLC. In consideration for the redemption, we received $8,250 in cash and two promissory notes in the amounts of $750 and $3,682, respectively. The notes were repaid in May 2002 and June 2002, respectively, by IHC. We recorded a gain of $2,003, net of previously recorded impairment of $16,499. The portion of the Wyndham Interest that was not converted into a preferred membership interest will remain outstanding. Thereafter, at any time on or after July 1, 2004, both IH LLC and

Wyndham had the right to require that IH LLC redeem the remaining 1% non-controlling common interest at an amount that is the lesser of (a) the product of (i) five times IH LLC’s EBITDA as of December 31, 2003 and (ii) the percentage of total equity interest in IH LLC which is represented by the remaining 1% non-controlling common interest, or (b) approximately $433. The redemption of the remaining 1% non-controlling common interest under the agreement occurred in November 2004.

 

4. Investment in Wyndham Anatole:

 

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

 

    Wyndham will secure a letter of credit in the amount of $21,000 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 $28,000);

 

    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, $330,000 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 $67,000 (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 46R 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 $21,000

and is backed by a letter of credit. This $21,000 letter of credit triggers consolidation due to Wyndham being exposed to the majority of the risks of loss. As of December 31, 2004, $4,667 had been drawn against this letter of credit. Even though our risk of loss is limited solely to the $21,000, our projections indicate that there 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.

 

We consolidated the Wyndham Anatole as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This consolidation results in an increase of $310,172 in consolidated Wyndham assets. Our balance sheet also reflects the Wyndham Anatole mortgage debt and capital lease obligations of $168,891, even though we are not a party to nor guarantor of this debt or capital lease obligations. 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.

(1) We entered into amendments and restatements of our senior credit facilities. The consenting lenders’ maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and the term loans II were extended to April 1, 2006. The non-consenting lenders’ debt of approximately $19,000, which was due on June 30, 2004, was repaid on May 12, 2004.
(2) A principal payment of $5,000 is to be paid each six months until the final payment of principal, which is due on June 30, 2006.
(3) 1% of the interest rate spread is paid-in-kind and is payable at maturity.
(4) A principal payment of 0.5% of the outstanding principal balance is to be paid each six months until the final payment of the principal, which is due on April 1, 2006.
(5) The loan is collateralized by three hotel properties with a net book value of $185,952 as of December 31, 2004. We must make scheduled amortization payments as set forth in the loan agreement. The loan agreement provides that we 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 within our control.
(6) The loan is collateralized by two hotel properties with a net book value of $32,745 as of December 31, 2004. We must make scheduled amortization payments as set forth in the loan agreement. The loan agreement provides that we 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 within our control. As of December 31, 2004, 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 of 3%.

(7) The loan is collateralized by 14 hotel properties with a net book value of $357,262 as of December 31, 2004. We must make scheduled amortization payments as set forth in the loan agreement. The loan agreement provides that we 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 within our 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. As of December 31, 2004, the spread is 4.99% and LIBOR is less than 2.5%, which results in a current interest rate of 7.49%.

On April 30, 2004, we extended an $18,000 mortgage secured by one hotel, after paydown of $6,300. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.5% and has a maturity date of May 1, 2006.

 

One June 22, 2004, we 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. 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 within our control.

 

6. Derivatives:

 

We manage our 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 we 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 December 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the interest rate hedges represented a liability of $8,637. We estimate that the majority of the $8,637 liability at December 31, 2004 will be charged to earnings during 2005 as all of the interest rate swaps except one will mature in 2005. We have no embedded derivatives under SFAS 133, as amended, at December 31, 2004.

Employee Separation Agreements

 

During 2004, we implemented organizational changes to better align our costs with our revenue structure upon the completion of our plan to sell our non-strategic assets. These organizational changes included a reduction in our workforce. We entered into separation agreements with certain employees which require them to render services until their termination date in order to receive termination benefits. The liability related to these termination benefits is being recognized ratably over the employees’ service periods in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. We estimate that $8,000 will be paid in 2005 related to these separation agreements, of which $6,864 has been accrued and is included in accrued payroll costs in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, with the remainder to be expensed ratably over the 2005 service period.

 

Notes Receivable From Former Senior Executives Officers

 

Patriot assumed note receivables from four former senior executive officers. As a 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. Three notes came due during 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. The notes and related accrued interest were previously included in shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2004, there is one remaining promissory note with an outstanding balance of $6,855 including accrued interest maturing in 2006. This note and the related accrued interest are classified as receivables from shareholders in the statement of shareholders’ equity.

 

As part of a separation agreement, we assumed a note receivable of $7,846 from a former senior executive officer. The note bears interest at 5.5% per annum and matures on August 13, 2005. The note is a full recourse note and is secured by the pledge of 449,818 Wyndham shares held by the former senior executive officer. The note receivable is included in the notes and other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2004, principal and accrued interest in the amount of $9,739 remained outstanding on the loan. As of December 31, 2004, we had a reserve of $2,000 against the note.

 

Management Agreement – Wyndham Anatole Hotel

 

In August 2000, we amended the Wyndham Anatole Hotel management agreement. This amendment, among other things, extended the term of the management agreement to August 31, 2020. Under the terms of this amendment, we have a contingent obligation to pay the hotel owners a maximum of $21,000 over the term of the management agreement if yearly operating income, as defined, is not sufficient to pay the primary debt service and an owner preferred return. This contingent obligation is supported by a $21,000 letter of credit issued by us. Payments totaling $4,667 were drawn against the letter of credit in 2004 resulting in a contingent obligation of $16,333 as of December 31, 2004.

 

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. On or about February 28, 2005, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement. Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, we shall issue 11 million shares of Wyndham common stock to the proposed settlement class. We also have agreed to contribute a maximum amount of $1,000 to the settlement class, only in the event that the trading price of Wyndham common stock falls below a certain threshold for a defined period of time. Furthermore, we have agreed to allow the settlement class to participate in a rights offering under certain limited circumstances. The stipulation of settlement is subject to Court approval. As of December 31, 2004, we have recorded a reserve of $11,200 to cover the cost of the settlement.

 

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. The Court has not yet certified a class. On or about September 30, 2004, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement with class counsel to settle the litigation. The stipulation of settlement is subject to Court approval. Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, we 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 December 31, 2004, we have recorded 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. The Attorney General seeks damages, penalties and attorneys’ fees from the remaining defendants. 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 preliminary interpretation of the applicable penalty statute. The Attorney General has argued that the statute should be construed such that the maximum penalty would be $10 each time a consumer was allegedly deceived. 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 that could be imposed is $10 (exclusive of actual damages or attorneys’ fees).

 

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 little formal discovery has been taken and the Court has not yet certified a class. We have tentatively agreed to settle this case, without admitting liability. Under the proposed settlement, we would (i) provide a coupon for discounts at our properties to affected class members, (ii) make a $50 charitable donation, (iii) pay attorneys’ fees in an amount up to $240, and (iv) agree to make changes in our disclosures regarding resort fees. The Court has not yet held a hearing on the joint motion to preliminarily approved the settlement and certify a settlement class. As of December 31, 2004, we have recorded an adequate reserve to cover the cost of the settlement.

 

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 the names of complainants, it is unclear who the complainants are, and how many are involved. The focus of the investigation has been distribution of “service charges” to service employees. Wyndham Westborough’s Massachusetts counsel and counsel for seven Wyndham Westborough employees have settled all charges involving “service charge” issues and we are in receipt of settlement agreements signed by all seven potential plaintiffs and their attorney. A number of Wyndham Westborough employees and ex-employees who are not represented by counsel have also sought payment of “service charges” collected by the hotel. In each instance in which the subject has been raised, Wyndham Westborough has made distributions to these individuals in return for their execution of a settlement agreement.

 

We are a party to a number of other claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business. However, we do not consider the ultimate liability with respect to these other claims and lawsuits to be material in relation to our consolidated financial condition or operations.

9. Related Party Transactions:

 

Summerfield Transaction

 

On December 22, 2004, we sold six Summerfield Suites hotels and a 33.3% interest in the Summerfield brand to various limited liability companies affiliated with Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners, L.P. The hotels sold included the Summerfield Suites Denver Tech Center, Summerfield Suites Miami Airport, Summerfield Suites Morristown (New Jersey), Summerfield Suites Parsippany-Whippany (New Jersey), Summerfield Suites Seattle Downtown and Summerfield Suites Waltham (Massachusetts).

 

The total purchase price was $104,300, with $96,000 of that amount being allocated to the purchase price for the six hotels and with the $8,300 balance being allocated to the purchase price of the interest in the Summerfield brand. In connection with the closing, the six limited liability companies that acquired ownership of the hotels also deposited $4,000 in reserve accounts and agreed to use those funds to perform certain replacement and capital improvement work at the hotels within two years after the closing date.

 

Pursuant to the sale of the interest in the brand, Sum Business Holdings, LLC, which is indirectly owned 85% by a Lehman Brothers partnership and 15% by Gencom American Hospitality, Inc., acquired a 33.3% interest in Summerfield Hotel Holding Company, L.L.C., which indirectly owns all of the partnership interests in Summerfield Hotel Company, L.P., which in turn owns the Summerfield Suites brand and franchises and manages Summerfield Suites hotels. Gencom American Hospitality, Inc. is controlled by Karim Alibhai, who is a director of the Company, and other members of his family. The remaining 66.7% interest in Summerfield Hotel Holding Company, L.L.C. is held by our wholly-owned subsidiary Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of Summerfield Hotel Holding Company, L.L.C., Sum Business Holdings, LLC can increase its interest in Summerfield Hotel Holding Company, L.L.C. to 50% by committing equity capital to develop seven additional Summerfield Suites hotels. However, if Sum Business Holdings, LLC does not develop at least seven hotels before December 22, 2009, then, so long as there has not been a change in control of Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P., Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. may buy out Sum Business Holdings, LLC’s interest in the limited liability company. Summerfield Hotel Holding Company, L.L.C. is to be managed by a management committee consisting of at least four members, two of whom are appointed by Sum Business Holdings, LLC, and two of whom are appointed by Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P.

 

Under the limited liability company agreement, Sum Business Holdings, LLC agreed to provide or to cause one of its affiliates to provide, by December 22, 2009, mezzanine financing in the aggregate amount of $50,000 for the development of Summerfield Suites hotels. In addition, the parties agreed to buy-sell provisions that may be exercised under certain circumstances, including without limitation the occurrence of a deadlock with respect to certain fundamental major decisions, to permit one party to acquire the other party’s interest in Summerfield Hotel Holding Company, L.L.C. The agreement also permits either party, at any time after June 22, 2006 but subject to certain right of first offer provisions, to initiate and complete procedures for the sale of the business. Further, except for certain exempted transactions, the agreement permits Sum Business Holdings, LLC to invoke the buy-sell procedures in the event of a change in control of Wyndham.

 

Following the closing, each of the six hotels was leased to six separate limited liability companies, which also are owned indirectly by the Lehman Brothers partnership and Gencom American Hospitality, Inc., and continue to be operated by Summerfield Hotel Company, L.P. under the Summerfield Suites brand pursuant to a hotel management agreement. Each of the hotel management agreements has a ten year term and may be renewed by the hotel lessee for two additional periods of five years each. Each hotel lessee has the right to

terminate the management agreement for its hotel (1) pursuant to an annual performance test, (2) under certain circumstances if the hotel brand name is changed, (3) if there is a deadlock buy-sell event under the limited liability company agreement for Summerfield Hotel Holding Company, L.L.C. or (4) if the hotel is sold to an independent third party. Following termination of the hotel management agreement, the hotels may continue to be operated as Summerfield Suites hotels pursuant to franchise agreements that were executed at closing but become effective when the management agreements terminate. In addition to the management and franchise agreements, the parties also entered into service agreements, pursuant to which the responsibility for providing management services for a temporary period of time was delegated to our wholly-owned subsidiary Wyndham Management Corporation, and pursuant to which Summerfield Hotel Company, L.P. may obtain certain centralized services for Summerfield Suites Hotels.

 

Transactions with Certain Wyndham Directors

 

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we received market rate hotel management and service fees in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,967, $4,000 and $4,242, respectively, from the owners of hotels in which Karim Alibhai, Rolf Ruhfus, Sherwood Weiser or Milton Fine holds an ownership interest.

 

In connection with the merger of IHC and Patriot, IHC, Patriot, Mr. Fine and certain other parties entered into a shareholders agreement, dated December 2, 1997. Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders agreement, Patriot must indemnify Mr. Fine for certain tax liabilities until December 2, 2007 or Mr. Fine’s death, whichever occurs first. The amounts to be paid, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

 

In connection with the sale on August 16, 1996 of certain property to us from an entity affiliated with Mr. Alibhai, we granted the entity affiliated with Mr. Alibhai a profit participation interest. If we sell, exchange or enter into a similar transaction with respect to the property and receive the minimum return set forth in the governing agreement, the entity affiliated with Mr. Alibhai will be entitled to receive 25% of the proceeds in excess of the minimum return. The amounts to be paid, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

 

In September 2003, we entered into a consulting agreement, which has a term of two years, with Lynn Swann. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, Mr. Swann agreed to, among other things, make a certain number of personal appearances on our behalf as well as make himself available for a certain number of advertisements in order to promote Wyndham. In return for his services, we must pay Mr. Swann $250 per year. In addition, on September 1, 2003, we granted Mr. Swann 100,000 restricted shares of our class A common stock. The restricted shares vest in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant.

 

Leonard Boxer, one of our directors, is a partner with Strook & Strook & Lavan, a law firm that has advised us on certain matters related to property transactions. During 2004, we paid Strook & Strook & Lavan approximately $352 in legal fees.

 

Loans to Certain Wyndham Executive Officers

 

In 1999, in connection with his employment agreement, we loaned Mr. Kleisner $500 pursuant to a recourse note for use in purchasing a residence in Dallas, Texas. The note bears no interest. In 1999 and 2001, in connection with his employment agreement, we also loaned Mr. Kleisner $850 and $665, respectively, pursuant to non-recourse notes. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to the rate on our senior credit facility. Despite the

fact that the $850 note is non-recourse and has no personal liability to Mr. Kleisner, he repaid the $850 note in full (principal plus accrued interest) on December 31, 2002 solely from his personal funds. As of December 31, 2004, principal and accrued interest in the amount of $1,219 was outstanding on the remaining notes.

 

Apollo Investors

 

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recognized hotel management, service and franchise fees in the aggregate amount of $2,314, $2,083 and $2,196, respectively, from hotels in which certain entities affiliated with the Apollo Investors hold an ownership interest.

 

In 2000, we entered into a timeshare agreement with Tempus Resorts International, Ltd. (“Tempus”), an entity affiliated with the Apollo Investors. The timeshare operates under the name Wyndham Vacation Club. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recognized fees from Tempus in the aggregate amount of $782, $470 and $32, respectively.

 

10. Minority Interest in the Operating Partnerships:

 

Pursuant to the Operating Partnerships’ respective limited partnership agreements, the common limited partners of the Operating Partnerships, including certain affiliates of Patriot, received rights (the “Redemption Rights”) that enable them to cause the Operating Partnerships to redeem each pair of OP units (consisting of one OP unit of the Patriot Partnership and the one OP unit of the Wyndham Partnership) in exchange for cash equal to the value of a paired share (or, at our election, we may purchase each pair of OP units offered for redemption for one share of common stock). In the case of the Wyndham Partnership’s Class A preferred OP units and Class C preferred OP units described below, each of these preferred OP units may be redeemed for cash equal to the value of a share (or, at Wyndham’s election, Wyndham may purchase each preferred OP unit offered for redemption for one share of common stock). The Redemption Rights generally may be exercised at any time after one year following the issuance of the OP units. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Redemption Rights will be adjusted for share splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro rata transactions which would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners of the Operating Partnerships or the shareholders of the Company.

 

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, 622,095, 145,293 and 50,949 OP units, respectively, in the Patriot Partnership and Wyndham Partnership were redeemed for cash of $730, $79 and $48, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, the Patriot Partnership and Wyndham Partnership had 320,910 OP units that were held by minority partners, which represent the minority interest in the operating partnerships.

 

11. Shareholders’ Equity:

 

Capital Stock

 

We have the authority to issue 750,000,000 shares of class A common stock, 750,000,000 shares of class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 150,000,000 shares of series A and series B preferred stock, par value $0.01.

 

The series B preferred stock has the following terms, among others:

 

    dividends payable quarterly, on a cumulative basis, at a rate of 9.75% per year;

 

   

for the first six years, the dividends are structured to ensure an aggregate fixed cash dividend payment of $29,250 per year, so long as there is no redemption or conversion of the investors’ series B preferred

stock; therefore, for that period, dividends are payable partly in cash and partly in additional shares of series B preferred stock, with the cash component initially equal to 30% for the first dividend and declining over the period to approximately 19.8% for the final dividend in year six;

 

    for the next four years, dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of series B preferred stock as determined by the Board of Directors; and, after year 10, dividends are payable solely in cash;

 

    if any dividends are paid on the Wyndham class A common stock, additional dividends will be paid in the amount that would have been paid on the shares of Wyndham class A common stock into which the series B preferred stock is then convertible;

 

    if a change in control or a liquidation of Wyndham occurs within six years following the investment, any dividends remaining for the six years will be accelerated and paid;

 

    not redeemable by Wyndham for six years, except that up to $300 million of the series B preferred stock may be redeemed during the 170 day period following the closing of the investment;

 

    voting with the Wyndham common stock on an as-converted basis on matters submitted to the common stockholders and voting as a separate class on specified matters, with special rules applying to the election of directors; and

 

    convertible, at the holder’s option, into a number of shares of Wyndham class A common stock equal to $100.00 divided by the conversion price, initially equal to $8.59 but subject to potential downward adjustments.

 

The investors will also have preemptive rights for the first five years following their investment as long as they own more than 15% of the Wyndham common stock.

 

For a period of 170 days following the completion of the investment, Wyndham was entitled to redeem up to $300 million of the series B preferred stock at a redemption price of $102.00 per share (102% of the stated amount) plus all accrued dividends, with the proceeds from a rights offering. The rights offering was completed with the issuance by Wyndham of 55,992 shares of series A preferred stock. Wyndham redeemed 55,992 shares of series B preferred stock. The series A preferred stock generally has the same economic terms as the series B preferred stock but has no voting rights, except as required by law and except for a limited right to elect two directors if dividends are in arrears for six quarterly periods.

 

On January 28, 2005, Mercury Special Situations Fund LP and Equity Resource Dover Fund LP issued a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of our series A preferred stock at a price of $30 per share. The offer was amended on February 28, 2005 to extend the expiration date to March 14, 2005.

 

Shareholder Rights Agreement

 

Wyndham is party to a Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of June 29, 1999 (the “Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Board of Directors of Wyndham declared (a) for each outstanding share of common stock of Wyndham outstanding on July 9, 1999 (the “Record Date”), a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”), and (b) for each outstanding share of Wyndham series A or series B preferred stock outstanding on the Record Date, a dividend distribution of a number of Rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each such share is convertible. In addition, Rights will automatically attach to each share of common stock, series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock issued between the Record Date and the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement). Each Right entitles the

registered holder thereof to purchase from Wyndham one one-thousandth of a share of series C participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a cash exercise price of $35.00, subject to adjustment. The Rights may only become exercisable under certain circumstances involving actual or potential acquisitions of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the class A common stock, subject to certain exceptions. The Rights will expire in June 2009 unless earlier exercised or redeemed.

 

Dividends and Stock Splits

 

We do not anticipate paying a dividend to the common shareholders and are prohibited from paying dividends on the class A common stock under the terms of our credit facilities. Also, we are 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.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we issued stock dividends of approximately 1,090,938 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $109,094. We deferred payment of the cash portion of the dividends of approximately $29,222. In addition, we issued a stock dividend of 298,421 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $29,842 in payment of additional dividends at a rate of 2.0% per annum as cash dividends on the preferred stock were in arrears for at least 60 days as of December 31, 2004.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we issued stock dividends of approximately 990,964 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $99,096. We deferred payment of the cash portion of the dividends of approximately $29,227. In addition, we issued an additional stock dividend of 272,592 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $27,259 in payment of additional dividends at a rate of 2.0% per annum as cash dividends on the preferred stock were in arrears for at least 60 days as of December 31, 2003.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, we issued stock dividends of approximately 900,529 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $90,053. We deferred payment of the cash portion of the dividends of approximately $17,658. In addition, we issued an additional stock dividend of 365,059 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $36,506 in payment of additional dividends at a rate of 2.0% per annum as cash dividends on the preferred stock were in arrears for at least 60 days as of December 31, 2002.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the deferred payments of the cash portion of the preferred stock dividend totaled approximately $102,322 and are included in dividends payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Stock Incentive Plans

 

We have adopted certain employee incentive programs for the purpose of (i) attracting and retaining employees, directors and others, (ii) providing incentives to those deemed important to the success of Wyndham and (iii) associating the interests of these individuals with the interests of Wyndham and its shareholders through opportunities for increased stock ownership. Certain of the stock options and restricted stock grants issued under the incentive stock programs vested and became non-forfeitable with consummation of the $1 billion equity investment.

The 1997 Incentive Plans. Prior to their amendment in 1999, the 1997 Incentive Plans provided for the award of stock options, stock awards or performance shares to each eligible employee and director of Patriot and Old Wyndham. Under each 1997 Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of paired shares available for grants of awards was the sum of (i) 3,000,000 paired shares plus (ii) 10% of any future net increase in the total number of shares of paired common stock.

 

Under the 1997 Incentive Plans, each independent director could elect to take all or a portion of his/her fees in the form of deferred paired share units. Prior to the amendment in 1999, the independent directors of Patriot and Old Wyndham were automatically granted a non-qualified stock option, immediately exercisable in full, to acquire 10,000 paired shares at an exercise price per paired share equal to the fair market value of a paired share on the date of grant. Option terms were fixed by the Compensation Committees of Patriot and Old Wyndham and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant.

 

On June 29, 1999, the 1997 Incentive Plans were amended, as a result of Patriot’s merger into Wyndham. As part of the merger, Wyndham assumed Patriot’s obligations under each existing option to purchase shares of Patriot common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger. The assumed options did not terminate in connection with the merger and continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the stock option plans and agreements in effect immediately prior to the merger. All references to Patriot in the assumed options are now deemed to be references to Wyndham and each option is exercisable for one share of Wyndham class A common stock.

 

On May 24, 2001, the stockholders approved the Second Amendment and Restatement of Wyndham International, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”). Among other things, the amendment increases the number of shares available for grant under the Amended Plan to an amount equal to 10.0% of the outstanding shares of class A common stock on a fully diluted basis. Under the Amended Plan, “fully diluted basis” means the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of series A and B convertible preferred stock, the assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options and the assumed conversion of all units of partnership interest in the Patriot Partnership and the Wyndham Partnership that are subject to redemption. The Amended Plan also permits the Compensation Committee to provide in the agreement governing a restricted unit award that following a change in control in which the shares of class A common stock are changed into or exchanged for a different kind of stock or other securities or cash or other property, the unvested portion of a restricted unit award shall thereafter upon vesting be settled in stock, other securities, cash or other property upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

 

The Amended Plan also (i) deleted certain provisions that by their terms are no longer applicable to Wyndham following the restructuring in June 1999, (ii) added a provision requiring that the Compensation Committee, which administers the Amended Plan, have at least two members, and (iii) made certain other minor provisions to the Amended Plan.

 

Stock Grant Awards

 

During 2004, 2003 and 2002 pursuant to the Amended Plan, the Board of Directors awarded 235,000, 500,000 and 3,351,250 restricted awards, respectively, to certain officers and employees of Wyndham. We have recorded $2,753, $2,480 and $3,365 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, related to the restricted awards and such amount is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The restricted stock grants do not carry voting or dividend rights until vested. Subject to continued employment, vesting is 33% per year in years three, four and five and compensation expense is amortized ratably over five years.

Voluntary Exchange Program

 

In November 2001, we offered a voluntary exchange program for certain eligible employees of Wyndham. Eligible employees holding options granted on or after January 1, 2000 under the Amended Plan were able to exchange those options for restricted unit awards. One restricted unit was granted for each share of class A common stock underlying the eligible options held by eligible employees. All tendered eligible options were cancelled upon the expiration of the offer on December 18, 2001. The restricted units were granted under the Amended Plan and will vest on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. The total number of eligible options to be tendered was 5,598,326, of which 5,324,976 were tendered. Compensation expense of $2,343 was calculated as the product of the number of restricted stock grants and the stock price on the date of grant. This amount is being amortized ratably over 5 years. The remaining 273,350 options that were not tendered are treated as variable awards following the accounting guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force 00-23 paragraph 167. Variable accounting commences for all existing awards when the offer is made and, for those awards that are retained by employees because the offer is declined, variable accounting continues until the award is exercised, is forfeited, or expires unexercised. We have recorded $324, $192 and $519 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, related to the restricted awards and such amount is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. On December 18, 2004, 1,068,053 of the restricted stock units issued under the voluntary exchange program vested.

 

SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”

 

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if we had accounted for our compensatory employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 3.87%, 3.53% and 4.30%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 63.6%, 123.2% and 124.0%, respectively, and a weighted average expected life of the options of 4 years.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair market value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.

 

A summary of our stock option activity and related information for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:

The reason for the difference between total tax expense and the amount computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate of 35% to income before income taxes is as follows:

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recorded net benefits to the provision for income taxes totaling $21,966, $3,000 and $2,667, respectively, related to favorable adjustments and settlements of various tax matters.

 

On December 31, 2003 and January 1, 2004, certain tax concession agreements related to the operation of the two hotels in Puerto Rico expired. These concession agreements historically provided for the reduction of certain taxes, including income, property and volume of business taxes by as much as 90%. We have applied for extension and renewal of these agreements and believe it is probable that the agreements will be extended retroactively to the date of expiration. If the agreements are not renewed and extended, we would be liable for additional taxes of approximately $5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. A tax concession related to a third property in Puerto Rico is set to expire on December 31, 2005. We intend to file for the renewal and extension of this agreement.

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, are as follows:

As of December 31, 2004, Wyndham and certain affiliated subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,060,000 which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2024 subject to certain limitations. Net operating losses generally have a carryforward period of 20 years. None of Wyndham’s net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2005 to 2010, $5,588 expire in 2011 to 2012, $198,387 expire in 2013 to 2019 and $855,678 expire in 2020 to 2024. In addition, the utilization of $142,000 in net operating loss carryforwards are subject to further limitations, including annual and separate company limitations, under federal income tax law.

 

SFAS 109 requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance relates to net operating losses and other deferred tax assets for which we believe that realization is uncertain. The valuation allowance increased $237,658 and $81,132 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

13. Employee Benefit Plans:

 

We sponsor 401(k) retirement savings plans. Employees who are over 21 years of age and have completed one year of service are eligible to participate in the plans. The aggregate expense under the plans totaled $455, $258 and $216 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

We maintain a self-insured group health plan through a Voluntary Employee Benefit Association. The plan is funded to the limits provided by the Internal Revenue Service, and liabilities have been recorded for estimated incurred but unreported claims. Aggregate and stop loss insurance exists at amounts that limit our exposure. We have recognized expense related to the plan of $5,305, $5,921 and $6,226 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

14. Discontinued Operations:

 

The Company accounts for certain revenues and expenses as originating from discontinued operations pursuant to SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS 144 requires that sales of long-lived assets, or the identification of assets as held for sale, be treated as discontinued operations. Any gain or loss from the disposition, and any income or expenses associated with assets held for sale, are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations.

 

The financial results for the assets we classify as held for sale are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The operating results of discontinued operations were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002:

(1) In accordance with SFAS 144, we cease depreciation on properties after they have been identified as held for sale. The depreciation expense reflected above was recorded before the assets were identified as held for sale.

 

15. Segment Reporting:

 

We classify our business into proprietary branded hotels and non-proprietary branded hotel divisions, under which we manage the business.

 

Wyndham is the brand umbrella under which all of our proprietary products are marketed. It includes three four-star, upscale hotel brands that offer full-service accommodations to business and leisure travelers, as well as the five-star luxury resort brand.

 

Description of reportable segments

 

Our three reportable segments are: Wyndham branded properties, non-proprietary branded hotel properties and other.

 

    The Wyndham branded properties are: Wyndham Hotels & Resorts®, Wyndham Luxury Resorts®, Wyndham Garden Hotels® and Summerfield Suites by Wyndham. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts® are upper upscale, full-service hotel properties that contain an average of 300 hotel rooms, generally between 15,000 and 315,000 square feet of meeting space and a full range of guest services and amenities for business and leisure travelers, as well as conferences and conventions. The hotels are located primarily in the central business districts and dominant suburbs of major metropolitan markets and are targeted to business groups, meetings, and individual business and leisure travelers. These hotels offer elegantly appointed facilities and high levels of guest service. Wyndham Luxury Resorts® are five-star hotel properties that are distinguished by their focus on incorporating the local environment into every aspect of the property, from decor to cuisine to recreation. Wyndham Garden Hotels® are full-service properties, which serve individual business travelers and are located principally near major airports and suburban business districts. Amenities and services generally include a three-meal restaurant, signature Wyndham Garden Hotels® libraries, and laundry and room service. Summerfield Suites by Wyndham offers guests the highest quality lodging in the upper upscale all-suites segment. Each suite has a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living room and a private bedroom. Many suites feature two-bedroom, two-bath units. The hotels also have a swimming pool, exercise room and other amenities to serve business and leisure travelers.

 

    Non-proprietary branded properties include all properties which are not Wyndham branded hotel properties. The properties consist of non-Wyndham branded assets, such as Doubletree®, Hilton®, Holiday Inn®, Hyatt®, Marriott®, Radisson® and independents.

 

    Other includes the Golden Door Spa, management fee and service fee income and interest and other income, general and administrative costs, interest expense and other charges. General and administrative costs and interest expense are not allocated to each reportable segment; therefore, they are reported in the aggregate within this segment.

16. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosure:

 

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, in connection with the termination of several contracts, we wrote off the unamortized balance of trade names of $1,666 in 2004, wrote off the unamortized balance of management contract costs of $306 in 2003 and $6,445 in 2002 and wrote-off leasehold costs of $153,909 in 2003. Also in 2003, we impaired and wrote-off $22,000 of the remaining book value of the lease on six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham.

 

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we issued stock dividends of 1,090,938, 990,964 and 900,529 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $109,094, $99,096 and $90,053, respectively. We deferred payment of the cash portion of the 2004, 2003 and 2002 dividends and the 2001 third and fourth quarter dividends totaling $102,322. In addition, during 2004, 2003 and 2002, we issued additional stock dividends of 298,421, 272,592 and 365,059 shares of series A and series B preferred stock with a value of $29,842, $27,259 and $36,506, respectively, in payment of additional dividends at a rate of 2.0% per annum as cash dividends on the preferred stock were in arrears for at least 60 days as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

 

A charge to other comprehensive income of $298 (net of taxes of $198), $1,220 (net of taxes of $1,077) and $4,797 (net of taxes of $3,197) for years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were recorded for the change in the fair market value of the effective derivatives.

Additionally, we paid $47,466, $49,163 and $41,662 in settlement payments for the ineffective hedges during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

On August 15, 2003, we sold our 50 percent interest in a hotel for $2,000 in a non-cash transaction for the release of a mortgage debt obligation.

18. Subsequent Events:

 

On December 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell 25 non-strategic hotels to a partnership comprised of a private investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs and affiliates of Highgate Holdings. The purchase price of the transaction is $366 million. The net cash proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down debt. As part of the agreement, the 15 Wyndham-branded assets included in the sale will remain in the brand’s portfolio pursuant to new franchise agreements. Impairments totaling $333.5 million were recorded on these 25 properties during 2004. Upon the close of the transaction in 2005, a gain of approximately $33.9 million will be recorded on the remainder of the assets in the portfolio. The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2005. We also entered into an agreement to sell an additional property in a separate transaction. These transactions will complete our planned disposition program, which began in June 1999.

 

On January 3, 2005, we completed the sale of the Doubletree Glenview to Lone Star Funds. The property will be converted to a Wyndham hotel and will continue to be operated by us under a long-term management agreement.

 

On January 28, 2005, Mercury Special Situations Fund LP and Equity Resource Dover Fund LP issued a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of our series A preferred stock at a price of $30 per share. The offer was amended on February 28, 2005 to extend the expiration date to March 14, 2005.

 

On or about February 28, 2005, we entered into a stipulation of settlement with regard to the legal proceeding entitled Johnson v. Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., et al., and discussed under “Commitments and Contingencies” on page F-26. Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, we shall issue 11 million shares of Wyndham common stock to the proposed settlement class. We also have agreed to contribute a maximum amount of $1,000 to the settlement class, only in the event that the trading price of Wyndham common stock falls below a certain threshold for a defined period of time. Furthermore, we have agreed to allow the settlement class

to participate in a rights offering under certain limited circumstances. The stipulation of settlement is subject to Court approval. An accrual of $11,220 was recorded as of December 31, 2004 related to the settlement.

 

On March 10, 2005, we completed the sale of the Wyndham Riverfront in New Orleans. All net proceeds were used to pay down debt.

 

On March 11, 2005, we announced we had arranged to refinance our corporate credit facility and the majority of our outstanding mortgage debt. We will refinance approximately $1.65 billion of our outstanding debt. The refinancing, which is expected to close early in the second quarter 2005, provides an extension of corporate debt maturity to 2011. Additionally, the debt pre-funds up to $100 million of capital to invest in our owned properties.
