financial statements.
1. QUARTERLY INFORMATION:
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Cavanaughs Hospitality Corporation (the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of such date. The Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate; however, these consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto for the period ended December 31, 1997 previously filed with the SEC on Form S-1 which was effective in April 1998.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments normal and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 1998 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of those which may be expected for a full year.
2. ORGANIZATION:
At September 30, 1997, the Company controlled and operated
(through ownership or lease with purchase option agreements)
seven hotel properties. At September 30, 1998, the Company
controlled and operated 18 hotel properties in Seattle, Spokane,
Yakima and Kennewick, Washington; Post Falls, Boise, Twin Falls,
Pocatello and Idaho Falls, Idaho; Kalispell and Helena, Montana;
Hillsboro, Oregon; and Salt Lake City, Utah under its
Cavanaughs(TM) brand. Additionally, the Company provides
computerized ticketing for entertainment events and arranges
Broadway and other entertainment event productions. The Company
also leases retail and office space in buildings owned by the
Company and manages residential and commercial properties in
Washington, Idaho and Montana. The Company's operations are
classified into three divisions: (1) hotels and restaurants,
(2) entertainment, management and services, and (3) rental
operations.
Prior to January 1, 1998, the financial statements included the combined operations of Cavanaughs Hospitality Corporation (including its merged and predecessor entities) and G&B: Lincoln Building Limited Partnership (Lincoln Building). On January 1, 1998, the Company issued common stock and units in the Cavanaughs Hospitality Limited Partnership (OP Units) to the partners of
2. ORGANIZATION, CONTINUED:
Lincoln Building in exchange for the assets and liabilities of Lincoln Building. Therefore, consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented at September 30, 1998.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income",
was issued. This Statement requires that comprehensive income
be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the
same prominence as other financial statements. This Statement
does not require a specific format for the financial statement,
but requires that an enterprise display net income as a
component of comprehensive income in the financial statements.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a
business enterprise arising from non-owner sources. The
classifications of comprehensive income under current
accounting standards include foreign currency items, minimum
pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses
on certain investments in debt and equity securities. The
implementation of this standard on January 1, 1998 did not have
a material impact on the presentation of the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments for an Enterprise and Related Information". This Statement will change the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their annual financial statements and requires them to report selected segment information in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, and its major customers. The implementation of SFAS No. 131 on January 1, 1998 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 1998, Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on
the Costs of Start-up Activities" was issued. The SOP requires
that all costs of start-up activities and organization costs be
expensed as incurred. The Company is required to implement the
SOP on January 1, 1999 and report the change as a cumulative
effect of an accounting change in the statement of income. The
Company has not determined the effect of adopting this new
standard.
4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:
In April 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering (Offering) of 5,951,250 shares of common stock. The proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and before offering expenses, of approximately $83.0 million were used to repay certain debt and acquire hotel properties.
5. 1998 ACQUISITIONS:
In January 1998, the Company entered into a lease with purchase option to acquire certain assets of a hotel in Spokane, Washington for approximately $11.5 million and acquired certain assets of a hotel in Idaho Falls, Idaho for approximately $3.8 million. In April 1998, the purchase option on the Spokane, Washington hotel was exercised. In February 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of a hotel in Post Falls, Idaho for approximately $9.5 million. In April 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of a hotel in Hillsboro, Oregon for approximately $5.5 million. In June 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of a hotel in Kalispell, Montana for approximately $9.6 million. In June 1998, the Company acquired, through a management and purchase agreement, The Olympus Hotel and Conference Center, located in Salt Lake City, Utah for a total price of $31.6 million. A Current Report on Form 8-K/A was filed with the SEC on August 13, 1998, which included the pro forma disclosures of the acquisition. On July 31, 1998, the Company acquired four additional hotels for $30.3 million from one seller. The hotels are located in Boise, Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho and Helena, Montana. A Current Report on Form 8-K/A was filed with the SEC on October 14, 1998, which included the pro forma disclosures of the acquisition.
All of these acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of these hotels have been included in the consolidated statement of operations since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess purchase price of the assets over their historical cost bases has been allocated to property and equipment and is being depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the related assets. Pro forma disclosures reflecting these acquisitions have been included in the Company's Form S-1 and Forms 8-K/A as previously filed with the SEC.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT:
The Company used the net proceeds of the initial public offering to repay $68.6 million of debt. In connection with the debt repayment, approximately $546,000 of deferred loan fees and prepayment penalties, net of income taxes, were charged to operations during the second and third quarters of 1998 and are presented as an extraordinary item.
In May 1998, the Company obtained an $80 million revolving secured credit facility with a bank (Revolving Credit Facility). The credit facility requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and minimum levels of cash flows. Any outstanding borrowings bear interest based on prime rate or LIBOR. The credit facility matures in five years. The credit facility requires the payment of a 1% fee plus an annual standby fee of 0.25%. At September 30, 1998, $68,550,000 is outstanding under the credit facility. The Company was in compliance with all required covenants at September 30, 1998.
7. CONTINGENCY:
In 1994, the Company was sued by the contractor who constructed one of the Company's hotel properties asserting lack of payment of cost overruns. The Company filed a counter claim for the recovery of various damages. The Company obtained summary judgment for most of the claims. After the Company obtained summary judgment for most claims, the litigation was terminated on October 1, 1998 by a complete settlement of all claims within the amount of funds originally withheld from payment to the contractor until completion of the contract.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of
operations for the Company for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1998. The following should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and
the notes thereto. In addition to historical information, the
following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could
differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed
in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Form S-1 filed originally by
the Company in April 1998 (File No. 333-44491).
The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the Hotels and reflect revenue from rooms, food and beverage and other sources, including telephone, guest services, banquet room rentals, gift shops and other amenities. Hotel revenues accounted for 87.0% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and increased 71.1% from $32.2 million in 1997 to $55.0 million in 1998. This increase was primarily the result of the addition of eleven hotels in the period and an increase in revenue per available room (REVPAR) from the hotels owned for greater than one year ("Comparable Hotels") from $48.35 in 1997 to $53.06 in 1998, a 9.7% increase. The balance of the Company's revenues are derived from its entertainment, management and services and rental operations divisions. These revenues are generated from ticket distribution handling fees, real estate management fees, sales commissions and rents. In the nine months ended September 30, 1998, entertainment, management and services accounted for 4.6% of total revenues and rental operations accounted for 8.4% of total revenues. These two divisions are expected to represent a smaller percent of total revenues in the future as the Company continues to pursue its hotel growth strategy.
As is typical in the hospitality industry, REVPAR, average daily rates
(ADR) and occupancy levels are important performance measures. The
Company's operating strategy is focused on enhancing revenue and
operating margins by increasing REVPAR, ADR, occupancy and operating
efficiencies of the Hotels. These performance measures are impacted
by a variety of factors, including national, regional and local
economic conditions, degree of competition with other hotels in their
respective market areas and, in the case of occupancy levels, changes
in travel patterns.

|
Total revenues increased $23.5 million, or 59.0%, from $39.8 million in 1997 to $63.3 million in 1998. This increase is attributed primarily to revenue generated from increases in total rooms occupied and REVPAR and the addition of eleven hotels.
Total hotel and restaurant revenues increased $22.9 million, or 71.1%, from $32.2 million in 1997 to $55.0 million in 1998. ADR for the seven Comparable Hotels increased $7.02, or 9.3%, from $75.26 in 1997 to $82.28 in 1998. Available room nights increased 86.5% in 1998. REVPAR for the Comparable Hotels increased $4.71, or 9.7% from $48.35 in 1997 to $53.06 in 1998. The results also reflect the addition of the eleven hotels acquired since October 1997 which contributed, in part, to this increase in revenues.
Entertainment, management and services revenues increased $0.1 million, or 3.9% in 1998. Management and services revenue increased from the addition of new third-party management contracts.
Rental income increased $0.5 million, or 10.7%, from $4.8 million in 1997 to $5.3 million in 1998. This increase is due primarily to the addition of leased space in the Crescent Court property to The Travelers company which commenced occupancy in January 1998.
Direct operating expenses increased $10.0 million, or 58.5%, from $17.2 million in 1997 to $27.2 million in 1998, primarily due to the increase in the number of hotel guests served and the addition of eleven hotels. This represents a decrease in direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues from 43.2% in 1997 to 43.1% in 1998.
Total undistributed operating expenses increased $6.5 million, or 48.5%, from $13.4 million in 1997 to $19.8 million in 1998. Total undistributed operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses, which increased 43.9% from $5.9 million in 1997 to $8.5 million in 1998, and depreciation and amortization, which increased 20.9% from $3.6 million in 1997 to $4.4 million in 1998. Total undistributed operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased 2.3% from 33.6% in 1997 to 31.3% in 1998. The decrease in undistributed operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues is primarily attributed to the increased REVPAR and the Company controlling sales and administrative expenses.
Operating income increased $7.0 million, or 75.2%, from $9.3 million in
1997 to $16.2 million in 1998. As a percentage of total revenues,
operating income increased from 23.2% in 1997 to 25.6% in 1998. This
increase is due primarily to an increase in REVPAR, the addition of
eleven hotels and improvements in the undistributed operating expense
margins.
Income tax provision increased 236.4%, from $1.1 million in 1997 to $3.5 million in 1998, due to the increase in the income before income taxes. The effective income tax rate for 1997 and 1998 was 34.0% and 34.6%, respectively.
Income before extraordinary item (noncash write off of deferred loan fees) increased $4.7 million, or 228.8%, from $2.0 million in 1997 to $6.7 million in 1998.
Total revenues increased $12.0 million, or 77.3%, from $15.6 million in 1997 to $27.6 million in 1998. This increase is attributed primarily to revenue generated from increases in total rooms occupied and REVPAR and the addition of eleven hotels.
Total hotel and restaurant revenues increased $11.9 million, or 91.9%,
from $13.0 million in 1997 to $24.9 million in 1998. ADR for the
Comparable Hotels increased $8.51, or 10.8%, from $78.85 in 1997 to
$87.36 in 1998. REVPAR for the Comparable Hotels decreased $0.25, or
0.4% from $60.73 in 1997 to $60.48 in 1998. The results also reflect
the addition of the eleven hotels acquired since October 1997 which
contributed, in part, to this increase in revenues.
Entertainment, management and services revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 10.6% in 1998. Management and services revenue decreased because fewer event tickets were sold in the 1998 quarter.
Rental income increased $0.2 million, or 14.1%, from $1.6 million in 1997 to $1.8 million in 1998. This increase is due primarily to the addition of leased space in the Crescent Court property to The Travelers company which commenced occupancy in January 1998.
Direct operating expenses increased $4.7 million, or 74.0%, from $6.4 million in 1997 to $11.1 million in 1998, primarily due to the increase in the number of hotel guests served and the addition of eleven hotels. This represents a decrease in direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues from 41.1% in 1997 to 40.3% in 1998.
Total undistributed operating expenses increased $3.3 million, or 71.2%, from $4.7 million in 1997 to $8.0 million in 1998. Total undistributed operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses, which increased 63.0% from $2.1 million in 1997 to $3.4 million in 1998, and depreciation and amortization, which increased 23.9% from $1.3 million in 1997 to $1.6 million in 1998. Total undistributed operating expenses as a percentage of total
Operating income increased $3.9 million, or 88.3%, from $4.5 million in 1997 to $8.4 million in 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, operating income increased from 28.7% in 1997 to 30.5% in 1998. This increase is due primarily to an increase in REVPAR, the addition of eleven hotels and improvements in the undistributed operating expense margins.
Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 11.6%, from $2.2 million in 1997 to $1.9 million in 1998. Interest expense declined as a result of the application of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay certain indebtedness, but is expected to increase in the future due to the funding of hotel acquisitions with additional debt.
Income tax provision increased 177.6%, from $0.8 million in 1997 to $2.2 million in 1998, due to the increase in the income before income taxes. The effective income tax rate for 1997 was 34.0% and 1998 was 35.0%.
Income before extraordinary item (noncash write off of deferred loan fees) increased $2.6 million, or 165.6%, from $1.6 in 1997 to $4.1 million in 1998.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash
generated by operations and borrowings under a $80.0 million Revolving
Credit Facility. Cash generated by operations in excess of operating
expenses is used for capital expenditures and to reduce amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Hotel acquisitions,
development and expansion have been and will be financed through a
combination of internally generated cash, borrowing under credit
facilities, and the issuance of common stock or OP Units.
The Company's short-term capital needs include food and beverage inventory, payroll and the repayment of interest expense on outstanding mortgage indebtedness. Historically, the Company has met these needs through internally generated cash.
The Company's long-term capital needs include funds for property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities and renovations and other non- recurring capital improvements. The Company anticipates meeting its future long-term capital needs through the borrowing of additional debt financing secured by the Hotels, unsecured private or public debt offerings, additional equity offerings or the issuances of OP Units, along with cash generated from internal operations. In April 1998, the Company completed its initial public offering of 5,951,250 shares at $15.00 per share. The proceeds to the Company after deducting the underwriter's commission, but before other expenses, was $83.0 million.
At September 30, 1998, the Company had $6.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $1.8 million from $4.9 million on December 31, 1997. The Company has acquired ten hotels during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and has expended $91.8 million for these acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company establishes reserves for capital replacement in the amount of 4.0% of gross income to maintain the Hotels at acceptable levels. Acquired hotel properties have a separate capital budget for purchase, construction, renovation, and branding costs. Capital expenditures planned for existing Hotels in 1998 are expected to be approximately $6.0 million. Management believes the consistent renovation and upgrading of the Hotels and other properties is imperative to its long-term reputation and customer satisfaction.
To fund its acquisition program and meet its working capital needs, the Company has received an $80 million Revolving Credit Facility from U.S. Bank which was consummated on May 5, 1998. The current interest rate is 185 basis points over LIBOR. The Revolving Credit Facility has an initial term of five years and an annualized fee for the unutilized portion of the facility. The Company selects from four different interest rates when it draws funds: the lender's prime rate or one, three, or six month LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 165 to 235 basis points, depending on the ratio of EBITDA to total funded debt. The Revolving Credit Facility has covenants that allow for the Company to draw funds based on the trailing 12 months performance on a pro forma basis for both acquired and owned properties. The Revolving Credit Facility allows the Company to choose which properties are part of the collateral base and, therefore, gives the Company the ability to utilize other long-term credit facilities that may be more favorable to the Company. Funds from the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for acquisitions, renovations, construction and general corporate purposes. The Company believes the structure and availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's long-term growth plans.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains various representations, warranties, covenants and events of default deemed appropriate for financing of a similar size and nature. Covenants and provisions in the definitive agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility include, among other things, limitations on: (i) substantive changes in the Company's current business activities, (ii) liquidation, dissolution, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of material property or assets and acquisitions of property or assets of others, (iii) the creation or existence of liens on property or assets, (iv) the addition or existence of indebtedness, including guarantees and other contingent obligations, (v) loans and advances to others and investments in others, redemption of subordinated debt, (vi) amendment or modification of certain material documents or of the Articles in a manner adverse to the interests of the lenders under the Revolving
As of September 30, 1998, the Company had debt outstanding of $117.3 million consisting of primarily variable and fixed rate debt secured by individual properties. In April 1998, the Company completed its initial public offering and entered into the $80.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, which has $68.6 million outstanding at September 30, 1998 and $11.4 million available to be drawn.
On August 5, 1998, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of Company stock. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had acquired 358,700 shares for $3.4 million.
The Company believes that cash generated by operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's operating strategy for the foreseeable future, and that any remaining cash generated by operations, together with capital available under the Revolving Credit Facility (subject to the terms and covenants included therein) and secured debt will be adequate to fund the Company's growth strategy in the near term. Thereafter, the Company expects that future capital needs, including property acquisitions, will be met through a combination of net cash provided by operations, borrowings and additional issuances of Common Stock or OP Units.
The lodging industry is affected by normally recurring seasonal
patterns. At most Hotels, demand is higher in the late spring through
and early fall (May through October) than during the balance of the
year. Demand also changes on different days of the week, with Sunday
generally having the lowest occupancy. Accordingly, the Company's
revenue, operating profit and cash flow are lower during the first and
fourth calendar quarters and higher during the second and third
calendar quarters.
The effect of inflation, as measured by fluctuations in the Consumer
Price Index, has not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or
net income during the periods under review.
IT SYSTEMS: The Company has completed 100% of the assessment of all of
its information technology ("IT") hardware and software systems for
Year 2000 issues. Of the critical hardware and software applications
evaluated (hardware and software applications for reservation,
accounting, payroll and billing functions), only the payroll
application has been determined to be non-compliant with Year 2000
functionality. The Company had anticipated retiring its non-compliant
payroll application independent of any Year 2000 issues and will
complete replacement of it with a Year 2000 compliant system by July of
1999. Individual older personal computers which are scheduled for
replacement in ordinary course of upgrades are not included in these
percentages. The Company relies upon certifications from the
manufacturers, developers and authorized vendors of the specific
hardware and software applications for evaluation of compliance with
Year 2000 functionality.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS: The Company has completed approximately 95% of the assessment of its critical Embedded Technology systems, which are those systems in properties owned or leased by the Company in which a microprocessor is embedded in equipment controlling building environment, power, lighting, transportation, security, and fire safety. The Company anticipates completion of evaluation of all embedded systems by the end of 1998. The evaluation completed to date has not revealed any critical Embedded System which is not (or will not become so with minor software modifications) compliant with Year 2000 functionality. Embedded Systems in properties for which the Company provides management services but which are not owned or leased by the Company are not included in these percentages. The Company relies upon certifications from the manufacturers, developers and authorized vendors of the specific components containing Embedded Systems for evaluation of compliance with Year 2000 functionality.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES: The Company will commence its evaluation of the assessment of services provided by third parties with which the Company has a material relationship in 1999 and anticipates completing that evaluation by July of 1999. These material Third Party Services include the private companies and municipalities supplying all utilities and communications to the Company. Evaluation will be by means of review of representations made by the third parties or of
COST TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES: The Company's projection of capital expenditures and other financial items related to remediation and testing of Year 2000 issues is necessarily an estimate because it anticipates how remediation and testing will proceed in the future. This assessment also cannot include property specific issues for properties which may be acquired in the future and have not as yet been evaluated. Nevertheless, based on the evaluation completed to date, the costs to the Company of replacing or modifying IT and Embedded Systems to bring them to Year 2000 compliance does not appear to be material. The preceding statement does not include the cost of replacement and modification of systems for which the replacement or modification was not accelerated by Year 2000 issues, such as the Company's payroll system, the costs for which are included in the normal capital and operating budgets of the Company.
RISKS OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES: The only certainty about the Year 2000 problem is the difficulty of predicting with certainty what will happen. The Company cannot guarantee that its efforts will prevent all consequences. The failure of vendors, suppliers, customers, transportation systems and utilities systems to anticipate and solve Year 2000 issues could impact the Company and each community in which it operates. The Company has not identified a material effect from Year 2000 issues on the Company's results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition. The worst case effects would appear to be analogous to a natural disaster such as a storm or flood, with the primary effect being a temporary interruption of utilities, transportation and communication services.
CONTINGENCY PLANS: Each property owned and/or managed by the Company has a contingency plan in place for interruption of utility and communication services, which includes the alternatives for providing services to guests and tenants. The Company anticipates completing an update of the operational contingency plans for each property upon completion of review of responses from providers of all material Third Party Services.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments for an Enterprise and Related Information
("SFAS 131"). This Statement requires public companies to report
selected segment information in their quarterly and annual reports
issued to shareholders, and entity wide disclosures about products and
services and major customers. The statement was adopted by the Company
on January 1, 1998.
In April 1998, Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities" was issued. The SOP requires that all costs of start-up activities and organization costs be expensed as incurred. The Company is required to implement the SOP on January 1, 1999 and report the change as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the statement of income. The Company has not determined the effect of adopting this new standard.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 1994, the Company was sued by the contractor who constructed one of the Company's hotel properties asserting lack of payment of cost overruns. The Company filed a counter claim for the recovery of various damages. The Company obtained summary judgment for most of the claims. After the Company obtained summary judgement for most claims, the litigation was terminated on October 1, 1998 by a complete settlement of all claims within the amount of funds originally withheld from payment to the contractor until completion of the contract.
