CRI HOTEL INCOME PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2012 and 2011
(Unaudited)


1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of CRICO Hotel Associates I, L.P. (the “General Partner”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L. P. and CRI Hotel Income of Minnesota, LLC (the “Partnership”) as of September 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  The results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form10-Q.  Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such instructions.  These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2011.

The Partnership and the chief operating decision maker consider the hotels’ operations as a single homogeneous business activity as it relates to achieving their objectives of cash flow growth and capital appreciation.  The chief operating decision maker reviews cash flow and operating results in the aggregate in order to determine the appropriate level of cash available, if any, for distribution to the investors in the Partnership.  Accordingly, the Partnership considers itself to operate in a single reportable segment.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, the Scottsdale Inn was classified as held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and its operations were reported separately on the condensed consolidated statement of operations as (loss) income from operations of asset held for sale ( see Note 2).  As such, the 2011 balances on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


2.           LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

The Partnership reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If an asset were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.  During the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, $87,104 of impairment loss was recognized. No impairment loss was recognized for the periods ended September 30, 2011.

Assets to be disposed of are separately presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.  Real estate assets are only classified as held for sale when all of the specific criteria under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are met.  Criteria include the commitment to sell the asset and the active marketing of the asset at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

2.           LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – Continued

The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Operations from a group classified as held for sale are reported in operations of asset held for sale.

As of December 31, 2011, Clearwater is classified as held for sale.  On January 6, 2012 the Clearwater hotel was sold.  As of September 30, 2012, Scottsdale is classified as held for sale.  Assets held for sale for Clearwater and Scottsdale as of September 30, 2012 were $0 and $255,266, respectively.  As the fair value of the Scottsdale assets were less than the carrying value, an impairment loss was recorded in the amount of $87,104.   Liabilities related to assets held for sale as of September 30, 2012 were $0 and $218,246 for Clearwater and Scottsdale, respectively.


3.           HOTEL OPERATING CASH; CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Hotel operating cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, repurchase agreements and money market funds with original maturities when purchased of three months or less, which have not been designated as a working capital reserve by the General Partner.  Hotel operating cash represents funds maintained at the hotels and by the hotels’ unaffiliated manager, while cash and cash equivalents represents the funds maintained at the Partnership.  The Partnership has determined that the carrying amounts for these items approximate fair value.


4.           WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE

The working capital reserve represents all cash and cash equivalents maintained as working capital for the Partnership.  The General Partner has determined that all cash and cash equivalents maintained at the Partnership which are not currently distributable to the BAC holders and General Partner of the Partnership shall be deemed as a working capital reserve.  The working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as it deems appropriate.  The General Partner at its own discretion may use the working capital reserve for operations or to reduce the amount of the existing debt.


5.           RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash is cash that has been escrowed in order to pay for real estate taxes, environmental matters and property maintenance. These escrow accounts were required as part of the mortgage loan covenants for the loan entered into by CRI Hotel of Minnesota, LLC (discussed further in Note 6.) As of September 30, 2012, $907,686 of restricted cash is being held at Franklin Bank.  Of this amount $336,508 is in an environmental escrow which will be released upon resolution of the environmental matter further discussed below.

6.           MORTGAGES PAYABLE

On May 6, 2008, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage loans associated with the Plymouth, Roseville and Clearwater hotels with General Electric Credit Corporation (GE).  A separate mortgage loan was issued with respect to each property, each collateralized by a property.  An event of default under each mortgage loan constitutes an event of default under the other mortgage loans. The mortgage loans had original principal balances of $1,150,000, $2,700,000 and $1,150,000 for the Plymouth, Roseville and Clearwater hotels, respectively.  The mortgage loans each bear interest rates of 6.79% and require monthly payments of principal and interest in the amounts of $8,837, $20,748 and $8,837 for the Plymouth, Roseville and Clearwater hotels, respectively, through December 31, 2013 at which time the interest rates of the mortgage loans shall be adjusted based upon an Index of the then prevailing five (5) year Interest Rate Swap plus 366 basis points.  The monthly principal and interest payments will be adjusted as of July 1, 2013 to a monthly payment of principal and interest based upon the adjusted interest rate that will amortize the remaining balances over the remaining term of the mortgages.  The mortgage loans have a maturity date of January 1, 2016, at which time the entire outstanding principal balances are due.

On January 6, 2012 the Clearwater loan and related interest was paid in full at the closing of the sale of the Clearwater hotel.

On May 6, 2008, the Partnership closed a loan with Remediation Capital Funding, LLC (Remediation Capital) in the amount of $2,900,000, of which $500,000 was held by the lender pending resolution of the environmental matter further discussed below.  The loan was secured by the University hotel in Minnesota.  The loan with Remediation Capital was paid off on December 17, 2010 and the $500,000 environmental escrow held by Remediation Capital was credited against the payoff on December 17, 2010. On December 22, 2010, the Partnership filed a Form 8-K stating that the Partnership had entered into the loan agreement with Franklin Bank which constituted a material definitive agreement for SEC purposes.

On December 17, 2010, CRI Hotel of Minnesota entered into a mortgage loan with Franklin Bank for the purpose of refinancing the loan with Remediation Capital, which was maturing on December 31, 2011.  Franklin Bank issued a loan secured by the University hotel to CRI Hotel of Minnesota in the principal amount of $3,500,000 for a term of three (3) years with an interest rate of seven percent (7%) per year. The mortgage loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $27,350 through December 31, 2013 at which time the entire outstanding principal balance is due.

The Partnership made installments of principal and interest for all mortgage loans aggregating $512,417 and $779,059 for the period ended September 30, 2012 and the period ended December 31, 2011, respectively.  Additionally, the $1,044,076 promissory note balance related to Clearwater was paid at the January 6, 2012 sale closing. The Partnership’s aggregate balance on the loans was $6,772,957 and $7,967,777 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Clearwater loan balance at December 31, 2011 is included in liabilities related to assets held for sale.

7.           ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

During the 2008 financing with GE, the Phase I environmental study and subsequent Phase II environmental study of the University hotel required by GE revealed excess levels of certain chemicals in the groundwater on the hotel property that are deemed hazardous.  The Partnership engaged NOVA as a consultant with respect to the environmental contamination of the University hotel property and to enroll the University hotel property in the Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (“VIC”) Program of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (“MPCA”).  The Partnership’s ultimate goal is to obtain a No Further Action Letter determination with a Covenant Not to Sue from MPCA with respect to this environmental issue which will enable the University hotel to be refinanced at better rates and/or ultimately sold without an ongoing environmental problem.  NOVA conducted extensive testing of all aspects of the University hotel property from 2008 through early 2011 to determine the source of the observed contamination.   NOVA has determined that the source of the solvent contamination appears to be on the northeast corner of the University hotel property.  NOVA has recommended active remediation of the northeast corner of the property to mitigate the vapors and the potential for a continued intrusion condition.   To facilitate a reduction in contaminant concentrations and the receipt of a subsequent No Further Action determination, NOVA prepared a Corrective Action Design (CAD) plan which was submitted to and approved by the MPCA.  In December of 2011 the installation of a remediation system which incorporates soil vapor extraction, groundwater sparging and air stripping technologies was completed.  The remediation system will be monitored and ground water and air samples will be tested monthly for a minimum one year period to determine if risks associated with the contaminants are reduced to an acceptable level.  The Partnership incurred and paid costs of $116,371 for remediation related services in 2011.  As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $37,817 and $156,837 of expenses have been accrued related to the CAD plan.

b.           Lease Agreements

The Partnership owns a leasehold interest in the Scottsdale Days Inn.  The Partnership has entered into various amendments to the lease extending its term and required lease payments.  For the year 2011, lease payments were based upon a percentage rent equal to (i) 22% of gross room revenue up to $3,300,000 and 30% of gross room revenue in excess of $3,300,000, and (ii) 2.5% of restaurant sales, with a minimum base rent of $500,000.  On December 1, 2011, the Partnership executed a restated Seventh Addendum to the Lease and Fifth Extension Term which among other things extended the lease term to December 31, 2012 and fixed the annual lease payment to $350,000 paid in equal monthly installments.   On September 30, 2012, management decided not to renew the lease upon its expiration on December 31, 2012.  Subsequently, operations of the hotel ceased on November 30, 2012. During December 2012, all the personal property at the hotel was sold for a sum of $82,500.  These assets were written down to the sale amount at September 30, 2012, resulting in an impairment loss of $87,104.  Costs incurred to vacate the premises totaled $35,000 and were accrued for at September 30, 2012.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, the lease payments were $89,382 and $268,146, respectively.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the lease payments were $82,227 and $389,518, respectively.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
  of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                 
 
The Partnership’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is based on the financial statements, and contains information that may be considered forward looking, including statements regarding the effect of governmental regulations.  Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements and will be affected by a variety of factors including seasonality with respect to the hotel industry, national and local economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, governmental regulations affecting the Partnership and interpretations of those regulations, the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates, and the availability of working capital.

Travel and the Economy

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing throughout 2009, the weakened U.S. and global economies resulted in considerable negative pressure on both consumer and business spending. As a result, lodging demand and revenues weakened substantially during this period as compared to the lodging demand and revenues we experienced prior to the fourth quarter of 2008. After this extremely difficult recessionary period, the outlook for the U.S. and global economies began improving in 2010 and that improvement has continued through the first quarter of 2012. However, to date, the recovery has not been particularly robust, as spending by businesses and consumers remains restrained, and there are still several trends which make our performance difficult to forecast.

Distributions

The Partnership did not make a distribution in the first, second, or third quarter of 2012 or 2011.

Financial Condition/Liquidity

The Partnership's liquidity and future results of operations are primarily dependent upon the performance of the underlying hotels.  Hotel operations may be materially affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality caused by variables such as vacations, holidays and climate.  The General Partner continues to work closely with the hotels’ manager to institute an aggressive marketing campaign and stricter cost-cutting and cost-control measures in an effort to maintain liquidity at the hotels.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, existing cash resources were adequate to support operating and financing requirements.  The Partnership anticipates that future cash flows from the hotels’ operations and existing cash resources, in the aggregate, will be sufficient to pay operating expenses, hotel trade payables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accrued expenses decreased from December 31, 2011 largely due to payments of costs associated with the environmental remediation at the University hotel, which were previously accrued.

The working capital reserve of $1,256,776  and $628,413 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, represents all cash and cash equivalents, as defined in Note 3 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, maintained as working capital for the Partnership.  The working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as it deems appropriate.  The General Partner at its own discretion may use the working capital reserve for operations or to reduce the amount of the existing debt.

Financing

On May 6, 2008, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage loans associated the Plymouth, Roseville and Clearwater hotels with General Electric Credit Corporation (GE).  A separate mortgage loan was issued with respect to each property, each collateralized by a property.  An event of default under each mortgage loan constitutes an event of default under the other mortgage loans. The mortgage loans had original principal balances of $1,150,000, $2,700,000 and $1,150,000 for the Plymouth, Roseville and Clearwater hotels, respectively.  The mortgage loans each bear interest rates of 6.79% and require monthly payments of principal and interest in the amounts of $8,837, $20,748 and $8,837 for the Plymouth, Roseville and Clearwater hotels, respectively, through September 30, 2013 at which time the interest rates of the mortgage loans shall be adjusted based upon an Index of the then prevailing five (5) year Interest Rate Swap plus 366 basis points.  The monthly principal and interest payments will be adjusted as of July 1, 2013 to a monthly payment of principal and interest based upon the adjusted interest rate that will amortize the remaining balances over the remaining term of the mortgages.  The mortgage loans have a maturity date of January 1, 2016, at which time the entire outstanding principal balances are due.

On January 6, 2012 the Clearwater loan and related interest was paid in full at the closing of the sale of the Clearwater hotel.

On May 6, 2008, the Partnership closed a loan with Remediation Capital Funding, LLC (Remediation Capital) in the amount of $2,900,000, of which $500,000 was held by the lender pending resolution of the environmental matter further discussed below.  The loan was secured by the University hotel in Minnesota.  The loan with Remediation Capital was paid off on December 17, 2010 and the $500,000 environmental escrow held by Remediation Capital was credited against the payoff on December 17, 2010. On December 22, 2010, the Partnership filed a Form 8-K stating that the Partnership had entered into the loan agreement with Franklin Bank which constituted a material definitive agreement for SEC purposes.

On November 9, 2010, CRI Hotel Income of Minnesota, LLC (CRI Hotel of Minnesota), was formed for the purpose of creating a single purpose entity to own the University hotel for refinancing purposes with Franklin National Bank of Minneapolis (Franklin Bank).  CRI Hotel of Minnesota is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P and, accordingly, will at times hereinafter be referred to with the Partnership as the Partnership.  On December 17, 2010, CRI Hotel of Minnesota entered into a mortgage loan with Franklin Bank for the purpose of refinancing the loan with Remediation Capital, which was maturing on December 31, 2011.  Franklin Bank issued a loan secured by the University hotel to CRI Hotel of Minnesota in the principal amount of $3,500,000 for a term of three (3) years with an interest rate of seven percent (7%) per year. The mortgage loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $27,350 through December 31, 2013 at which time the entire outstanding principal balance is due. An environmental escrow reserve in the amount of $350,000 was established which will be released upon resolution of the environmental matter further discussed below.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
  of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

During the 2008 financing with GE, the Phase I environmental study and subsequent Phase II environmental study of the University hotel required by GE revealed excess levels of certain chemicals in the groundwater on the hotel property that are deemed hazardous.  The Partnership engaged NOVA as a consultant with respect to the environmental contamination of the University hotel property and to enroll the University hotel property in the Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (“VIC”) Program of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (“MPCA”).  The Partnership’s ultimate goal is to obtain a No Further Action Letter determination with a Covenant Not to Sue from MPCA with respect to this environmental issue which will enable the University hotel to be refinanced at better rates and/or ultimately sold without an ongoing environmental problem.  NOVA conducted extensive testing of all aspects of the University hotel property from 2008 through early 2011 to determine the source of the observed contamination.   NOVA has determined that the source of the solvent contamination appears to be on the northeast corner of the University hotel property.  NOVA has recommended active remediation of the northeast corner of the property to mitigate the vapors and the potential for a continued intrusion condition.   To facilitate a reduction in contaminant concentrations and the receipt of a subsequent No Further Action determination, NOVA prepared a Corrective Action Design (CAD) plan which was submitted to and approved by the MPCA.  In December of 2011, the installation of a remediation system which incorporates soil vapor extraction, groundwater sparging and air stripping technologies was completed.  The remediation system will be monitored and ground water and air samples will be tested monthly for a minimum one year period to determine if risks associated with the contaminants are reduced to an acceptable level.  At September 30, 2012, $37,817 of expenses have been accrued related to the CAD plan.

Working Capital Reserve

The working capital reserve of $1,256,776 and $628,413 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, represents all cash and cash equivalents maintained as working capital for the Partnership.  In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as it deems appropriate. The General Partner at its own discretion may use the working capital reserve for operations or to reduce the amount of existing debt.

Results of Operations - Partnership

The Partnership experienced a decrease in net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to a decrease in partnership operating expenses.

The General Partner is not able to predict the future trend of hotel gross operating income, especially room revenue as it is affected by occupancy and average daily rate.  The General Partner continues to work closely with the hotels’ manager to contain any increase in unallocated operating expenses.

An analysis of each hotel's operating results for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, follows.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15.  Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, consistent with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We are currently in the process of the remediation of the weakness in our internal control over financial reporting by the employment of a consultant with the requisite accounting expertise to resolve the above issue and expect to implement changes in the near term.

Changes in internal controls

There have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Partnership’s most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012  that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 5.
Other Information
 
a.  
There has not been any information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, but not reported, whether or not otherwise required by this Form 10-Q at September 30, 2012.

b.  
There is no established market for the purchase and sale of BACs, although various informal secondary market services may exist.  Due to the limited markets, investors may be unable to sell or otherwise dispose of their BACs.

c.  
In addition, certain transfers of BACs in the Partnership may not exceed two percent of the total interests in the Partnership’s capital or profits during any one taxable year to avoid the Partnership being deemed a publicly traded partnership.
