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, 1998 has been compiled 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, 1998 previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.
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 June 30, 1999, the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. 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 June 30, 1998, the Company controlled and operated (through
ownership or lease with purchase option agreements) 14 hotel
properties. At June 30, 1999, the Company controlled and
operated 19 hotel properties in Seattle, Spokane, Yakima,
Kennewick and Olympia, Washington; Post Falls, Boise, Twin Falls,
Pocatello and Idaho Falls, Idaho; Kalispell and Helena, Montana;
Portland, Oregon and Salt Lake City, Utah under its Cavanaughs(R)
brand. Additionally, the Company provides computerized ticketing
for entertainment events and arranges Broadway and other
entertainment event productions. Further, during the second
quarter 1999, the Company announced the launch of
[www.TicketsWest.com], an Internet ticketing service offering
consumers up-to-the-minute information on live entertainment and
the ability to make real-time ticket purchases of the best
available seats to events through the website. 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 segregated into
three divisions: (1) hotels and restaurants, (2) entertainment,
management and services, and (3) rental operations.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
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 adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5 on January 1, 1999 and reported the change as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the consolidated statement of operations. The adoption of SOP 98-5 resulted in the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $133,000, which is net of $68,000 of income taxes, being recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.
4. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT:
In May 1998, the Company obtained an $80 million revolving secured credit facility with a bank. In February 1999, the credit facility was increased to $100 million. The credit facility requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and minimum levels of cash flows. Any outstanding borrowings will bear interest based on the prime rate or LIBOR, plus 180 to 250 basis points depending on the total funded debt levels. The credit facility matures in May 2003. At June 30, 1999, $83,980,000 is outstanding under the credit facility. The Company was in compliance with all required covenants at June 30, 1999.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, the Company paid off certain debt prior to its maturity date. Deferred loan fees associated with this debt of $15,000 has been written off and reported as an extraordinary item, net of a $5,000 income tax benefit.
5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
The Company operates in three segments: (1) hotels and
restaurants; (2) entertainment, management and services; and (3)
rental operations. Revenues of each segment are those that are
directly identified with those operations. Operating income for
each segment represents revenues less direct operating expenses
of each segment. Undistributed operating expenses are not
identified by segment.

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 six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1999. 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 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998, previously filed by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
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 87.5% of total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 1999 and increased 45.4% from $30.2 million in 1998 to $43.9 million in 1999. This increase was primarily the result of the addition of five (5) hotels and an increase in average daily rate (ADR) from the hotels owned for greater than one year, "Comparable Hotels", from $75.60 in 1998 to $80.74 in 1999, a 6.8% increase. Comparable Hotel revenue per available room (REVPAR) declined 3.1% from $43.78 in 1998 to $42.43 in 1999 primarily due to removal of low rate permanent contract business and the addition of rooms placed in service after renovation. 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 six months ended June 30, 1999, entertainment, management and services accounted for 4.8% of total revenues and rental operations accounted for 7.7% of total revenues. In March 1999, the Company acquired additional software, development rights, use agreements and non-competition agreement for certain regions of the ticket distribution system it uses in the entertainment division. In April of 1999 the Company launched its Internet site, [www.TicketsWest.Com], which facilitates the real time purchase of entertainment and leisure activities. The rental operations division is expected to represent a smaller percent of total revenues in the future as the Company continues to pursue its hotel and entertainment growth strategy.
The following table sets forth selected items from the consolidated
statements of income as a percent of total revenues and certain other
selected data:

|
Total revenues increased $14.4 million, or 40.4%, from $35.7 million in 1998 to $50.1 million in 1999. This increase is attributed primarily to revenue generated from increases in total rooms occupied and the addition of five (5) hotels.
Total hotel and restaurant revenues increased $13.7 million, or 45.4%, from $30.2 million in 1998 to $43.9 million in 1999. ADR for the Comparable Hotels increased $5.14, or 6.8%, from $75.60 in 1998 to $80.74 in 1999. Comparable Hotel REVPAR decreased $1.35, or 3.1% from $43.78 in 1998 to $42.43 in 1999. Available room nights increased 58.7% in 1999. Total room revenue increased 45.6% from $18.6 million in 1998 to $27.0 million in 1999. The results reflect the addition of five (5) hotels which contributed, in part, to this increase in revenues.
Entertainment, management and services revenues increased $400,000, or 19.7% in 1999. Entertainment revenue increased due to additional ticket convenience fees from the Company's Millennium Broadway Series. Tickets became available for purchase in March 1999.
Rental income increased 9.5%, to $3.8 million in 1999. This increase is primarily from lease escalations and new lease contracts in the Company's office and retail buildings.
Direct operating expenses increased $6.5 million, or 40.3%, from $16.1
million in 1998 to $22.6 million in 1999, primarily due to the
increase in the number of hotel guests served and the addition of five
(5) hotels. Direct operating expenses as a percentage of total
revenues remained constant at 45.2% in both 1998 and 1999.
Total undistributed operating expenses increased $6.0 million, or 51.2%, from $11.8 million in 1998 to $17.8 million in 1999. Total undistributed operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses, which increased 58.9% from $4.2 million in 1998 to $6.7 million in 1999, and depreciation and amortization, which increased 42.5% from $2.7 million in 1998 to $3.9 million in 1999. Total undistributed operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased 2.5% from 33.0% in 1998 to 35.5% in 1999. The increase in undistributed operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues is primarily attributed to the addition of five (5) hotels and the additional legal, accounting and administrative expenses of being a publicly traded company.
Operating income increased $1.9 million, or 24.3%, from $7.8 million in 1998 to $9.7 million in 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, operating income decreased from 21.8% in 1998 to 19.3% in 1998.
Interest expense increased $566,000, or 14.0%, from $4.1 million in 1998 to $4.6 million in 1999. This increase is primarily related to additional debt incurred with the acquisition of the five (5) hotels.
Income tax provision was $1.7 million in 1999 versus $1.3 million in 1998. The increase in income tax provision is due to the increase in the income before income taxes. The effective income tax rate was 32% for 1999 and 34% for 1998. The provision for income tax rate is lower in 1999 due to the Company qualifying for certain historical rehabilitation tax credits.
Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle increased $0.9 million from $2.6 million in 1998 to $3.5 million in 1999. This increase is primarily attributed to the addition of five (5) hotels in the period.
Net income increased $1.3 million, or 65.4%, from $2.0 million in 1998 to $3.4 million in 1999.
Total revenues increased $6.9 million, or 32.8%, from $21.1 million in 1998 to $28.0 million in 1999. This increase is attributed primarily to revenue generated from increases in total rooms occupied and the addition of five (5) hotels.
Total hotel and restaurant revenues increased $6.6 million, or 35.8%, from $18.3 million in 1998 to $24.9 million in 1999. ADR for the Comparable Hotels increased $4.01, or 5.2%, from $77.22 in 1998 to $81.23 in 1999. Comparable Hotel REVPAR decreased $0.06, or 0.1% from $48.89 in 1998 to $48.83 in 1999. Available room nights increased 48.3% in 1999. Total room revenue increased 34.0% from $11.7 million in 1998 to $15.7 million in 1999. The results reflect the addition of five (5) hotels which contributed, in part, to this increase in revenues.
Entertainment, management and services revenues increased $89,000, or
8.8% in 1999. Entertainment revenue increased due to additional
ticket convenience fees from the Company's Millennium Broadway Series.
Tickets became available for purchase in March 1999.
Rental income increased 15.6%, to $2.0 million in 1999. This increase is primarily from lease escalations and new lease contracts in the Company's office and retail buildings.
Direct operating expenses increased $3.1 million, or 34.7%, from $9.1
million in 1998 to $12.2 million in 1999, primarily due to the
increase in the number of hotel guests served and the addition of five
(5) hotels. This represents an increase in direct operating expenses
as a percentage of total revenues from 43.0% in 1998 to 43.6% in 1999.
Operating income increased $1.4 million, or 26.6%, from $5.3 million
in 1998 to $6.8 million in 1999. As a percentage of total revenues,
operating income decreased from 25.3% in 1998 to 24.2% in 1998. The
increase in operating income is due primarily to the addition of five
(5) hotels.
Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 72%, from $1.3 million in 1998 to $2.3 million in 1999. This increase is primarily related to the additional debt incurred with the acquisition of the five (5) hotels.
Income tax provision was $1.4 million in 1999. The effective income tax rate for 1999 was 32% and 34% in 1998.
Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle increased $0.4 million from $2.7 million in 1998 to $3.0 million in 1999. This increase is primarily attributed to the addition of five (5) hotels in the period.
Net income increased $891,000, or 42.0%, from $2.1 million in 1998 to $3.0 million in 1999.
Historically, the Company's principal sources of liquidity have been
cash on hand, cash generated by operations and borrowings under a
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. In
April 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering.
Proceeds net of issuance cost were $81.3 million and were used to pay
debt, fund acquisitions and other corporate purposes.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had $7.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has made extensive capital expenditures over the last two years, investing $123.6 million during the year ended December 31, 1998, and $6.2 million in owned and joint venture properties through June 30, 1999. These expenditures included guest room, lounge and restaurant renovations, public area refurbishment, telephone and computer system upgrades, tenant improvements, property acquisitions, construction, and corporate expenditures and were funded from the initial public offering, issuance of operating partnership units, operating cash flow and debt. The Company establishes reserves for capital replacement in the amount of 4.0% of the prior year's actual gross hotel 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 Hotels in 1999 are expected to be approximately $12.8 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 a Revolving Credit Facility. 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 180 to 250 basis points, depending on the Company's ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA. The Revolving Credit Facility allows for the Company to draw funds based on the trailing 12 months performance on a pro forma basis for both acquired and owned properties. Funds from the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for acquisitions, renovations, construction and general corporate purposes. The Company believes the funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility and additional debt instruments will be sufficient to meet the Company's near term growth plans. The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Revolving Credit Facility are fully guaranteed by the Company. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is permitted to grant new deeds of trust on any future acquired properties. Mandatory prepayments are required to be made in various circumstances including the disposition of any property, or future acquired property, by the Operating Partnership.
In addition to the Revolving Credit Facility, as of June 30, 1999, the Company had debt and capital leases outstanding of approximately $47.2 million consisting of primarily variable and fixed rate debt secured by individual properties.
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 to be included therein) and additional debt financing, will be adequate to fund the Company's growth strategy in the near term. Thereafter, the Company expects that future capital needs, including those for 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
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.
BACKGROUND: The "Year 2000 problem" arose because many existing
computer programs use only the last two digits to refer to a year.
Therefore, these computer programs do not properly recognize a year
that begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19". If not corrected,
many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results.
The extent of the potential impact of the Year 2000 problem is not yet
known, and if not timely corrected, could affect the global economy.
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 September 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 substantially all 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 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 has completed substantially all of the assessment of services provided by third parties with which the Company has a material relationship. These material Third Party Services include the private companies and municipalities supplying
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 developed a contingency plan in order to respond to any Year 2000 problem-related interruption of such property's utility and communication services. The Company anticipates completing an update of the operational contingency plans for such properties before January 1, 2000. The Company has solicited from its material Third Party Service Providers information with respect to such providers' responses to and compliance with the Year 2000 problem. The Company will, on an on-going basis, carefully monitor the responses it receives from these Third Party Service Providers. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that such plans will be adequate or completed in a timely manner and the responses developed by the Company's material Third Party Service Providers are beyond the general operational control of the Company.
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 adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5 on
January 1, 1999 and reported the change as a cumulative effect of an
accounting change of $133,000, which is net of income taxes, in the
statement of operations.
