FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY:

Limited Service Hotel Wood County, Texas

This study has been prepared to determine the financial feasibility of building and operating a

high quality limited service branded hotel in one of several potential recommended areas in

Wood County, Texas. Four potential locations in the county were examined for the purposes of

this report, with the details of the locations discussed in the Derivation Section (page 31) of this

study. The property is theoretically expected to open as a 65 unit limited service hotel in

January of 2021, though this opening date is not fixed. The hotel will be a needed addition to

the current lodging stock in the area, offering a product that is under-represented not only in

Wood County, but in the wider market area.

Project quality is planned to meet the physical and operating standards of a major high quality

national limited service hotel brand. This study is dependent upon the hotel operating as a high

quality limited service brand and meeting the requirements of a successful hotel project in this

local market area, and maintaining the operation in good standing with the franchisor through

its first ten years. The current level of quality and acceptance by hotel consumers for these

brands in Texas has been assumed in developing this financial feasibility study. Operating

costs are set at the level of similar limited service hotel results.

KEY FINDING: Developing and opening a quality limited service branded hotel in Wood

County should generate an unleveraged, pre-tax return on total invested capital exceeding 15%,

with a return on equity approaching 38% (DCF). This return on invested capital assumes that

improvements are completed at the estimated cost of $72,308 per unit, plus a land value of

$400,000. Project details follow:

This study incorporates the recent fluctuations in the Texas hotel market, the rebound from

the 2008 national recession, and the continued impact of the Permian Basin and the Eagle

Ford Shale Oil and Gas developments. In our Market section, we highlight the historical hotel

performance in Texas, noting the effect of past recessions. Consequently, our market

projections consider how the lodging industry reacts in times of economic downturn and in

normal times. See the Market section for further details.

The above cash flow, assuming a Year 10 sale, has been discounted at the rate of 15.11% to a

present value of $5,099,643, essentially equaling the total budgeted investment of $5,100,000. This

15.11% is the project's unleveraged return, provided capital costs are kept at the estimated level.

Please note that if financial incentives were given by the city, this return would be even higher. An

estimated capital budget for construction and FF&E of $72,308 per unit 'turn-key' costs is

reasonable for a hotel of this size and quality, in our experience. If capital outlays vary from the

current budget for this project, returns will vary accordingly. The following table and graph illustrates

the linear nature of financial returns as capital requirements escalate or decline and revenue streams

remain stable.

SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS: Assumptions are summarized as follows (see

page 11 for full Market History and Projection study, and page 7 for Methodology):

1. An analysis of the Wood County Area Market4 reflect a mixture of mostly older and some

new hotels. Typically, a new hotel will have an inordinate advantage over older products. The

average hotel room in the local market is 20 years old, past the peak performing first ten years of the

life cycle of the typical hotel building, which becomes stylistically and structurally obsolete after 30+

years. This 30 year life cycle is significantly longer for high-rise/concrete structures. Out of 1,700

total rooms in the local market, 356, or 20% have been built since 2009, while 718, or 41% were

opened before 1999 (at least 20 years old). There is typically a wide and dramatic gap between the

performance of new and older properties, with newer hotel inventory easily outperforming older

hotels that are well past their peak performing years.

4. Cities of Emory, Mineola, Alba, Quitman, Yantis, Sulphur Springs, Greenville, Quinlan, Gilmer, Gladewater, Lindale.

The critical statistic used in this study is REVPAR. REVPAR means revenue per

available room per day, and reflects the average daily room revenue yield of every room

in a property or market (not just occupied rooms). REVPAR is generated by multiplying

occupancy times rate (i.e. REVPAR = % occupancy times average daily rate), and is the

most effective and important tool in the evaluation of the success of any lodging concern.

We are comfortable with market projections, and expect market demand growth levels in the

area to rise to a more typical level over the next nine years. With new supply being added

slowly, occupancy remains near the expected equilibrium level of 59% during the projection.

REVPAR is projected to grow at a 2.5% annual rate in the next five years (versus 3.5% annual

growth in the past nine years). Detailed local market history and projections commence on page 18.

METHODOLOGY

To develop Pro Forma financial results for the proposed project, two major sets of assumptions

have been developed. First, the future market's average REVPAR is forecast on a reasonable

and economically-sound basis; the performance of the project is dependent on this market forecast

and varies from it only due to specific variables of the project. Second, the specific variables of the

project are combined and expressed as an index for each quarter of the forecast, an index that

is used to adjust the overall market performance to the specific project.

MARKET REVPAR FORECAST

A very large 13 County Area hotel market5 is examined historically and projected. The key in the

market projections is to stabilize the wider area market in the future at a sustainable, average

equilibrium for occupancy, a level which we have determined to be approximately 58% in rural

markets of this type. This occupancy level is highly relevant as a long-term, equilibrium occupancy, a

level where investors are more neutral about adding new hotel rooms to the market and an average

that will reoccur over long periods of time (e.g. 20 years).

After the wider market area is forecast, the performance of the local Wood County Area Market6 is

examined historically and projected. The key in the market projection is to stabilize this large market

in the future at a sustainable, average equilibrium for occupancy, a level which we have determined

to be approximately 59% in markets of this type. Over the 20 years from 1987 through 2007,

according to the Source Strategies, Inc. database, hotel occupancy in Texas has averaged 60%, and

62% in larger Texas metros. The REVPAR projection of the local market is then the pro forma

market environment of the project. This project will vary from the norm for only project-specific

differences, and then only relatively.

PROJECT VARIABLES:

DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT REVPAR INDICES

The first variable from the averages to be developed has to do with the fact that each product

type and brand have a typical and identifiable influence on REVPAR performance. This

variable is based on its consumer acceptance, its product definition, its level of quality, the price it

can command from the consumer, its marketing efforts, and other factors. The value of the brand and

product type is termed the Base Value.

The second adjustment used on the dollar value of the local area's REVPAR is the Brand Age

Adjustment. This is made to reflect the average age of similarly branded hotels on the subject

property's performance versus the market average. Typically, the opening dates of the same branded

hotels as the subject are examined in order to quantify this factor.

The third step to developing a project REVPAR index is to determine an adjustment based on

any deviation from a normal project. If the number of proposed rooms in the project is

significantly above or below the average for that brand, its performance will also vary from the norm.

A lower than average number of rooms should increase per room performance and vice versa. This is

due to the fact that consumer demand for a single brand is demand at the project's site, regardless of

the number of rooms offered by the hotel.

An empirical proof of this evaluation of Size is the major increase in volume enjoyed by numerous

hotels throughout Texas that have split into two branded operations, using two different names. For

example, the Hilton Hotel Towers Austin added $500,000 annually to revenues by splitting off its

adjacent, ground-based rooms as a Super 8 Motel. By creating another brand, the Super 8 began to

fill demand for budget properties in the immediate area, while the Hilton Towers kept its current

upscale customer base. Hence, smaller room counts than average generate higher occupancy than

average. Further proof is the correlation between project size and occupancy: the smaller the

property, the higher the occupancy.7

7. Study detailed in size factor derivation in analysis section.

Page 10: FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY · performance of new and older properties, with newer hotel inventory easily outperforming older hotels that are well past their peak performing years

9

Lastly, an 'Other' segment adjustment may be made if the proposed product type is under- or

over- supplied in the local market, or for other factors. For example, a product type commanding

10% of the Texas market - but zero locally - would command a higher daily rate or occupancy locally

because it is a relatively scarce commodity. Further, a subject product far exceeds the product quality

of the brand average, then a positive adjustment should be made. While there is usually a reasonably

consistent pattern of site factors for the brand properties selected, these factors often vary because of

unique situations: 1) visibility and access differences between nearby sites; 2) any large variation

from the norm in the usual number of rooms for a chain; 3) a nearby property's quality, the quality of

management, last renovation; 4) any major new commercial development nearby. Adjustments will

be made for these differences based on industry experience.

Then the REVPAR potential of the subject Site is developed in two ways. First, all other property

factors except site are calculated for the competitors, the site factor then being used to bring the

calculated REVPAR into a match with actual REVPAR performance. In other words, combining all

factors including a 'plugged' site factor results in the theoretical REVPAR projection equaling actual

REVPAR for each property studied, revealing the mathematical value of individual hotel sites.

With the development of the adjustments for Brand/Product type, overall Brand Age, Segment,

project Size, and Site, a revenue projection for the proposed operation begins to take form by

combining these factors into a combined index that is applied to the overall market-wide

REVPAR projection, resulting in the forecast of the project's dollar REVPAR. However, this

combined index changes as the project ages. Consequently, the physical Age of the individual

project impacts this REVPAR index. A +16% increase factor is applied to the combined

REVPAR index in the property’s peak performing Year III. A first-year start-up adjustment of -

2% and a second year adjustment of +12%, is followed by this +16% adjustment for Year III. This

factor reflects the major revenue-generating power of new versus old properties.

In Years 4 through 10 the REVPAR index is diminished at a rate of 1.96% per annum in order to

reflect aging and the normal life-cycle of a hotel. In Years 11-15, the aging impact accelerates

slightly to 2.2%. After year 15, a hotel’s aging decline slows to 1% for the later years of the hotel’s

life-cycle. In the event of a major property renovation, or conversion of an existing building for hotel

use. this factor can be adjusted as appropriate for the level of updates undertaken.

Page 11: FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY · performance of new and older properties, with newer hotel inventory easily outperforming older hotels that are well past their peak performing years

10

This pattern of declining performance with property aging is based on major studies of economic life-

cycle patterns. Our most recent study, an extensive review of aging for mid-market hotel properties,

was completed in March of 2019 and published in our quarterly newsletter, the Hotel Brand Report,

Issue #137. The study outlines the above described aging curve. This latest study’s results roughly

parallel previous aging studies we have conducted over the years, but does show a notably faster start

up period, which we attribute to increased visibility for new hotels through a prominent internet

presence, and the growing prominence of online hotel booking sites. Source Strategies aging studies

conducted over the years align with aging analysis conducted by large hotel corporations that we

have reviewed. Our latest Aging Study is attached as an Exhibit.

Combining all of these factors - Product Type, Brand Age, Site, Size, Segment (other), and

Newness (Age) - results in the REVPAR stream for the project. A REVPAR stream from

which room revenues, estimated rate, occupancy and room-nights sold are derived. At this

point, the investment and operational costs can be laid against the revenue line to generate pro

forma financial performance and discounted cash flow analysis.

The calculation of the statistic of Operating Costs Per Occupied Room (before fixed/capital costs are

deducted) is typically the important cost to examine carefully because it is highly stable and

predictable, regardless of occupancy and rate. The Host Almanac 2018: For the year 2017 by STR

with dollar costs inflated, and Source Strategies, Inc. financial models are the source of operating cost

statistics.

From national average occupancies, costs are categorized as fixed, semi-variable or variable,

resulting in the highly-leveraged profit performance characteristic of lodging products, depending on

occupancy and REVPAR performance (i.e. variable costs increase proportionately with higher

occupancy levels while fixed costs do not). Furthermore, with a capital expenditures profile provided

by the International Society of Hospitality Consultants' CapEx, A Study of Capital Expenditures in

the U.S. Hotel Industry, a method has been applied to determine an appropriate amount of renovation

reserves to ensure that the property is maintained at the franchisor's required level. All study-area

individual hotel/motel five year histories are included in the study, using the Source Strategies, Inc.

database of all Texas hotels and motels (includes each hotel’s brand, room count, room revenue,

occupancy, rate and REVPAR). The methodology of this database is attached as an exhibit.

MARKET REVPAR HISTORY: STATE OF TEXAS

1. Since 1980, the State of Texas has experienced generally strong growth, with occasional

periods of economic downturn, one of the worst being the recession that began in 2009. In 1982-

1983 the Texas market suffered through six consecutive quarters of major demand declines, with a

sharp plummet of 24% in the first quarter of 1983. Two years later, every quarter in 1986 posted

significant demand decreases of 19% or more.

Before the recession

starting in 2009, the most

recent period of decline

was in 2001, during which

the onset of a recession

was coupled, and

accelerated by, the terrorist

attacks of 9/11. Beginning

in the Third quarter of

2001, seven of the next

eight quarters showed

declining room demand,

and it was not until the first quarter of 2004 that healthy levels of growth resumed.

We have considered these historical market patterns in formulating our projections for all

markets. Though there are differences in each economic downturn, and areas across the state are

impacted differently depending on factors driving demand – particularly Oil & Gas development and

production - there is much that can be discerned from historical positive and negative trending

performances.

Historical quarterly periods of economic decline and recession are highlighted in the

Texas market data that follows overleaf, while more recent history shows the positive results of an

improving economy in Texas and the impacts of shale oil extraction:

PROJECTIONS & EXPECTATIONS

In making projections for the future, we

have considered the historical market

patterns for the state of Texas and for the

relevant sub-markets within Texas. We

have noted the recovery that started in

2010, but since has lost its strong growth

trends due to the decline in the price of

oil. With the recent rebound of oil prices,

the Oil & Gas areas demand increases

over the last three quarters has been the

strongest in a decade.

Ongoing projections reflect the

likelihood of revenue growth through

2019 maintaining reasonable and

normal revenue increases of at least

6% to 7% revenue growth year-over-

year. This assumes national GDP

growth of about 2.5% annually and

crude oil prices remain above $50

per barrel.

Market REVPAR History & Forecast:

2. Over the past nine years, the wide 13 county market had an average annual real demand

increase of 2.4% (room-nights sold), annual increase of 3.8% in total room revenues, and a

3.1% annual rise in REVPAR; note that the severe recession of 2009 and the subsequent

downturn in oil prices depressed performance numbers in many markets. Occupancy rose

1.7% per year over the nine years. Supply rose by only 0.6% per year, with room rates rising

1.4% annually.

Over the past four years, a gain of 1.8% per year in demand was coupled with a supply

increase of 2.4% annually. Revenues over this period rose an average of 2% per year, while

REVPAR fell 0.4% annually. Room rates were up just 0.3% on average. Occupancy was

down over the last four years, by 0.6% per year.

Over the last two years, demand rose 4% annually, coupled by only a 1.8% annual increase

in supply. These results caused occupancy to increase by 2.2% annually, and REVPAR to

rise by 2.2% per year. Rates increased 0.1% per year, and yearly revenues gained 4.1%.

Most recent history, the 12 months ending June 30, 2019, shows a small amount of new

supply being added to the market. Real demand rose 7.3%, rates were up 0.1%, and

revenues were up 8.3%; occupancy rose 5% as supply grew by 2.2%. REVPAR rose a

strong 6% for the average hotel room.

3. In the future, 13 county market occupancy is projected to remain near the estimated long-term

equilibrium occupancy level of 58% by 2025. For the next nine years, real demand (room nights

sold) is projected at an average 2.2% growth rate, trailing projected net supply growth of 2.4%. With

2.4% average daily rate inflation, market gross revenues should gain 4.7%, and REVPAR should

increase 2.2% annually during the nine year forecast.

These assumptions relative to demand, supply, and occupancy reflect the fact that over the past 20

years overall occupancy in Texas has averaged about 60%, a level considered to be 'Equilibrium

Occupancy' state-wide. This fact considers that larger and more successful metro area markets

generate higher overall occupancy and REVPAR numbers than state averages, while rural areas lag

these averages (Source Strategies, Inc. database).

'Equilibrium Occupancy' is further explained by the fact that new investment money will eventually

be attracted to an under-supplied market until market occupancy falls and lower returns on capital are

the result. The equilibrium occupancy point is where net, new supply is being added at about the

same rate as growth in demand, and where return on investment is in balance with the cost of capital.

Fueled by moderate, steady demand growth, the Metro market has room for appropriately-positioned

new development, added at similar rates to demand. Higher quality new lodging products at or above

mid-priced levels are performing very well in the market despite overall performance numbers being

moderated by the large number of older, obsolete, budget and independent hotels. These older,

existing competitors are highly vulnerable to the superior attractiveness of newly-built lodging. This

pattern can be seen in the success of chain operations at or above the mid-priced levels.

Note that REVPAR growth for every individual hotel unit is well below the total revenue growth of

the market, with average REVPAR in our projection growing a low 2.1% per annum over the next

five years (compared to 3.1% REVPAR average growth of the past nine years). Revenues are

forecast to grow by 4.4% per year on the strength of 2% growth in real demand and 2.4% growth in

price (room-rates). Occupancy over the next five years is expected to decline by 0.3% per year, as

supply rises 2.3% per year.

LOCAL MARKET PERFORMANCE

2. The subject hotel’s market in the Wood County Area8 currently generates a REVPAR of

$40, well below the Texas average of $70. This performance considers that the local market is in

Local Market REVPAR History & Forecast:

3. Over the past nine years, the Wood County Area Market9 has shown real demand growth

(room-nights sold) of 1.8%, annual growth of 3.1% in total room revenues, and a 3.5% annual

increase in REVPAR. Occupancy grew 2.2% over each of the nine years. Supply fell by 0.4%

per year, with room rates rising 1.4% annually.

Over the past four years, demand rose 0.2% annually as supply increased at a slightly higher

0.3% rate per year. Revenues over this period rose by 2.2% per year, while REVPAR rose

1.8%, occupancy fell 0.1%, and room rates rose 2%.

Over the last two years, real demand fell by 2.8% annually, while supply also fell, by 1.8%

per year. Rates increased 2%, and yearly revenues fell by 0.8% per year. These results caused

occupancy to fall 0.9% annually, and REVPAR to rise by 1% per year.

In the latest year, demand rose by 0.9% while supply decreased by 0.7%. Rates rose 2.3% and

revenues rose by 3.2%, the highest level of the measured period. Occupancy was up by 1.6%

for the year and REVPAR rose by 4.1%. Market occupancy averaged 59%, above the ten-year

average occupancy of 56% for this market. This is a market is in a rural area away from a

major metropolitan area, with nearby dining, business and recreational interests. Over time,

our projection maintains the current occupancy at 59% as the market remains near to

equilibrium, which is a healthy level for a market such as this one.

4. Overall market occupancy is projected to rise, with 1.4% demand gains and supply rising at the

same 1.4% annually for the next nine years. This translates to occupancy remaining flat at a 59%

long-term equilibrium level. REVPAR should rise 2.5% annually in the period, based on rates rising

2.5% per year. This compares to an average level of REVPAR growth of 3.5% for the past nine

years.

These assumptions relative to demand, supply, and occupancy reflect the fact that over the past 20

years overall occupancy in Texas has averaged about 60%, a level considered to be 'Equilibrium

Occupancy' state-wide. This fact considers that larger and more successful metro area markets

generate higher overall occupancy and REVPAR numbers than state averages, while rural and

Interstate highways areas lag these averages (per the Source Strategies, Inc. database). 'Equilibrium

Occupancy' is further explained by the fact that new investment money will eventually be attracted to

an under-supplied market until market occupancy falls and lower returns on capital are the result.

The equilibrium occupancy point is where net, new supply is being added at about the same rate as

growth in demand, and where return on investment is in balance with the cost of capital. The local

area market is currently operating at a very healthy level and has room for new development. Higher

quality new lodging products at or above mid-priced levels are performing extremely well in the

market. Any older, existing competitors are vulnerable to the superior attractiveness of newly-built,

major-branded lodging. This pattern can be seen in the success of chain operations at or above the

mid-priced levels. Given our growth assumptions, room supply consequently grows from 1,713

rooms currently to 1,942 in 2026, 13% higher and representing 229 net new rooms (gross new

openings, less closings).

REVPAR growth for every individual hotel unit is below the total revenue growth of the

market, with average REVPAR in our projection rising 2.5% per annum over the next five

years. Revenues during this upcoming period are forecast to rise by 3.9% per year on demand gains

of 1.4% per year and 2.5% annual increase in prices (room-rates). Occupancy over the next five years

is expected to be flat as supply rises by an expected 1.4% per year. If supply should grow 200 rooms

over forecast (+10%), without demand also growing faster than forecast, average individual hotel

REVPAR would decline by 9% versus the projection, dropping from the estimated REVPAR of $49

to $45 by the end of 2026.

6. The occupancy projection for the local market is for a return to normal levels, correcting

after the fluctuations of recent years. We expect local occupancy to decline very slightly in the

near-term before rising back to an equilibrium occupancy in the 59% average range in the

later years of our forecast:

PROJECT REVPAR - DEVELOPMENT OF INDICES

Within the above market REVPAR forecast, the expected performance of the proposed hotel is based

on six factors. All six factors are independent and modify the market's projected REVPAR average to

reflect the subject property's particular characteristics. First, what is the Base Value? It is the effect

of the Brand, including specified product quality levels. Second, what is the effect of the brand's

overall Age on its average performance? Third, what is the effect of the project's Size, or room-

count, on results? Fourth, are there any ‘Other’ adjustments needed to account for various factors,

including under- or over-supply in the product's Segment in which the project will compete? Fifth,

what is the effect of the normal Life Cycle patterns on the project (e.g. the effect of the project's

Newness compared to older competition on its unstoppable way to obsolescence)? And sixth, what is

the likely influence of the selected Site on results?

1. The Base Value factor sets property type/brand/product quality at an assumed level for a

combined level of reasonable limited service hotel products selected that would be good choices for

the Wood County area market.10 We looked at both available brands and products that would be good

choices for the market. The limited service products Sleep Inn and Best Western are popular brands

that allow for properties to be built to suit local conditions and needs, while Microtel and Studio 6

offer a more value oriented product that would be suitable for extended stays. The combined

REVPAR average for these four brands offers a reasoned expectation for a new hotel in the local

market, putting the Base Value at 117% of the average of the Exhibit IV market REVPAR average.11

Utilizing the existing REVPAR performance for the selected brands illustrates the basic expectations

of REVPAR performance for the project:

Combined REVPAR $50.69 / Exhibit IV Average REVPAR $43.31 = 1.17 or 117%

This sample of several very good limited service hotels in Texas markets firmly establishes the basic

REVPAR performance that can be expected when operating such a hotel in a market such as the

proposed location (s).

10. We utilized a combined brand value of Best Western, Sleep Inn, Microtel, & Studio 6, which produced an average REVPAR of $50.69. 11. The Exhibit IV hotel market excludes metro areas, Luxury, Odessa & Midland, the luxury, upscale, mid/upscale/suite segments, and products priced over $150 per night. This large market was selected to closely mimic the local market situation/mix and to provide a wider body of information from which to draw the characteristics of specific brand performance.

Page 30: FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY · performance of new and older properties, with newer hotel inventory easily outperforming older hotels that are well past their peak performing years

29

2. The second adjustment factor, Brand Aging, is set at 1.11 (111%), reflecting the average age

of the selected comparable products in the Exhibit IV market, 2005. This factor adjusts for the

effect of the average age of the existing hotels on the brand's current performance. Please see Exhibit

VI: Start-Up Performance of New Hotels and Motels for a full description of our study of the

impact of the overall newness or age of a group of same branded hotels on REVPAR performance.

The brand age adjustment, or life-cycle adjustment, for other brands includes:

BRAND AGING: TEXAS MARKETS

Brand Average Opening Brand Aging Adjustment Sleep Inn 2010 0.99

Holiday Inn Express 2008 1.03 Hampton Inn & Suites 2007 1.05

Fairfield Inn 2005 1.11 Best Western 2003 1.12

La Quinta 2000 1.16

3. The property Size factor - reflecting room count - is set at 0.95 (95%). The average size of the

selected brands for this study is 56 rooms, giving this hotel, at 65 units, a size penalty for being larger

than the norm. The size factor assigns a premium if the property is smaller than average and a penalty

to the property if it is larger than average. The size adjustment is necessary because demand is not

affected by the number of rental rooms offered, as the individual consumer only needs one room:

customers do not care whether a hotel offers 100, 125 or 150 rooms and their purchasing behavior

will be the same regardless of how many rooms the property offers. Keeping a project conservatively

sized assures a higher per-unit revenue yield, particularly in very competitive markets like the local

area.

The highly-positive effect on revenues and return on capital due to building small, and not 'over-

sizing' projects is best explained in Exhibit V: A Study of the Effect of Hotel Size on Performance

in the Texas Hotel Industry - The Case for Downsizing New Hotels. This study that can be

replicated with any brand, in almost any situation. The net effect of building small is to run higher

occupancy and rate, thereby increasing brand REVPAR by building a below-average number of

rental units.

4. Fourth, the Segment or Other adjustment factor is set at 100%, with no penalty or premium.

Page 31: FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY · performance of new and older properties, with newer hotel inventory easily outperforming older hotels that are well past their peak performing years

30

5. Fifth, the Aging Adjustment factor reflects the standard hotel life cycle: 98% (-2%) in Year I;

112% for Year II; 116% for Year III; followed by a 1.96% annual decline in the REVPAR index in

Years IV through X. The aging factor is supported by extensive studies of hotel life-cycles conducted

by Source Strategies, Inc, with our latest study being published in April of 2019 (Hotel Brand Report

newsletter, Issue #137) This Aging Study is also presented as an Exhibit at the end of this document.

6. The last factor, Site, is set at 0.90 (90%), or below average for the local market, and

reasonable when the sites of currently operating nearby competition are measured.

The 4 sites examined around the Wood County area that we would recommend were roughly

equivalent in value for different reasons, as demand for hotels in this area is fairly regional. As long

as access is available without difficulty, sites on Texas Highway 37 or 11 in Winnsboro, FM 17 in

Lake Fork, Quitman, the county seat, and the larger city of Mineola, all appeared to have good access

and varying degrees of visibility. In our opinion, focusing on a site which is in the most commercially

active area available would be the best choice, and not one that would be impinged upon by

residential areas.

With the evaluation of the current sites around this location, we have an easy analysis of the site

potential. The site values for this property, as well as for nearby existing competitors have been

developed by quantifying the influence site has had on their performance. Applying known

adjustment factors to existing properties, except for a site factor, lets us solve for the site value itself.

Source Strategies' site methodology 'backs into' the value of the site by matching actual performance

against known factors, using the site factor as the 'plugged number.' The differences between the

closest key competitors appear to be both explainable and reasonable. The site value is 'plugged' so

that projected REVPAR versus market approaches the actual REVPAR over the past 12 months.

Overall, current performance of nearby existing competition would indicate that a 90% site

value for the Limited Service Hotel would be a reasonable estimate of the site:

COMBINING THE ABOVE MARKET REVPAR PROJECTION AND THE HOTEL'S REVPAR INDEX TO DEVELOP REVENUES, OCCUPANCY, AND RATE

Using the projected Year III REVPAR index of 131%, the above process generates a theoretical

REVPAR of $51.84 in 2019 market dollars. This is the result of the Year III performance index of

131% (1.31) multiplied by the current market average REVPAR of $39.58.

Therefore, if the property were open today and were in its third year of operation, it should

theoretically be operating at the following level against 2018 market results: a $51.84 REVPAR

computes to gross room revenues of approximately $1,230,000 ($51.84 times 65 units times 365

days). Please note that the actual effect on the market due to the introduction of this project and other

new hotels is fully reflected in subsequent pro forma market projections and financials.

In latest year's dollars (2019), this projection for the project's theoretical Year III revenue breaks

down seasonally as follows:

Quarter First Second Third Fourth Year III

Room Revenues $272,480 $338,863 $317,576 $300,918 $1,229,838

TESTS FOR REASONABILITY

Comparisons made here support the reasonable nature of market and subject projections:

1. Individual property projections depend importantly on the projection of local market REVPAR -

forecast to rise at a conservative rate through 2026, starting at the current level. Over the next nine

years market REVPAR is projected to rise 2.5% per year, compared to a 3.5% increase on average

over the past nine years. REVPAR encompasses the net effects of room supply, room-night demand

and prices. Over the next nine years, we are comfortable with the 1.4% real compound demand gain

projected for the market, the projected lower net supply growth of 1.4% annually, and prices going up

2.5%. The resulting level of overall occupancy is 59% (equilibrium).

2. The derived Base Value of 1.17 (117%) for a Limited Service Hotel is reasonable when compared

to the Base Values of other hotels in these same markets. The hierarchy of REVPAR indices for

various brands is shown below:

REVPAR INDEX COMPARISON12

Brand REVPAR Index Hampton Inn 163

Holiday Express 157 Candlewood Suites 144

Selected Ltd.Service 117 Microtel 101

Quality Inn 98 Motel 6 76

Looking at the combined REVPAR of the 52 new hotels (post 2005 opening) of the four selected

limited brands13 of hotels in non-metro areas we find they had a high REVPAR average of $67.13.

This is a strong performance that we would not expect to be replicated in the Wood County area

market, but it is a good indicator of the potential for the products in non-metro areas.

3. Developing actual adjustment factors for the existing properties - so that their projected REVPAR

equals actual REVPAR - indicates why the REVPAR index projection has a high probability of being

achieved. The REVPAR differences between the closest key competitors appear to be both

explainable and reasonable, using the standard, Source Strategies' adjustment factor quantification.

For each property, revenues are driven first by chain name affiliation and product type, and are

further adjusted for size, segment, hotel age and site location. The REVPAR Index is then multiplied

by the actual local area market average to generate dollar REVPAR. We also include the theoretical

Year III performance of the subject hotel, as if it were open today and in its third year of operation,

6. An analysis of the Wood County Area Market14 reflect a mixture of mostly older and some

new hotels. Typically, a new hotel will have an inordinate advantage over older products. The

average hotel room in the local market is 20 years old, past the peak performing first ten years of the

life cycle of the typical hotel building, which becomes stylistically and structurally obsolete after 30+

years. This 30 year life cycle is significantly longer for high-rise/concrete structures. Out of 1,700

total rooms in the local market, 356, or 20% have been built since 2009, while 718, or 41% were

opened before 1999 (at least 20 years old). There is typically a wide and dramatic gap between the

OPERATING COSTS15

Profitability and returns reflect the above revenue projections and the following other critical

assumptions: operating costs per occupied room approximate Select & Limited Service hotels of

similar size, rate, and occupancy and include appropriate fixed, semi-fixed and variable costs (Host

Almanac 2018: For the year 2017 by STR, and Source Strategies, Inc. data).

Estimates of operating costs take into account the lower costs of the West South Central region of the

United States, which had an average Per Occupied Room Cost of $55.23 (including royalties) in 2017

in Limited Service hotels - versus a national average of $65.08 - or 84.9% of the U.S. average. The

following cost comparisons have all been adjusted to reflect this 15.1% lower-cost environment that

may be expected in operating a hotel in the West South Central (WSC) region.

Rooms only Operating Costs per Occupied Room (before Fixed Charges) are estimated as:

Year I $33.39 15,149 $505,762

Year II $34.44 16,901 $582,086

Year III $35.45 17,252 $611,556

a) $46.61 in the Host Almanac for Suburban hotels in 2017, adjusted to Southwest the WSC region of the USA. This POR cost translates to $49.45 when inflated 3% annually to Year 2019 dollars. b) $60.65 in the Host Almanac for Upper-Midscale hotels in 2017, adjusted to WSC USA. This POR cost translates to $64.35 when inflated to Year 2019 dollars. c) $46.99 in the Host Almanac for Interstate hotels in 2017, adjusted to WSC USA. This POR cost translates to $49.85 when inflated to Year 2019 dollars. d) $67.77 in the Host Almanac for Upscale hotels in 2017, adjusted to WSC USA. This translates to $71.90, when inflated to Year 2019 dollars. e) $31.58 in the Host Report for Midscale/Economy hotels, 2017 data, adjusted to WSC USA. This POR cost translates to $33.50 when inflated to Year 2019 dollars.

15. The calculation of the statistic of Operating Costs Per Occupied Room (before fixed/capital costs are deducted) is typically the important cost to examine carefully because it is highly stable and predictable, regardless of occupancy and rate. Looking at costs on a percentage basis can be highly misleading because of the high variability in average room revenues.

- Versus room revenues: a necessary marketing expense of 7% in Year I and thereafter. Marketing

includes reservation and advertising fees, sales expense, local advertising and the always important

outdoor billboards. A 5% annual franchise fee was also charged for this project.

A reserve for renovations is taken and subtracted from projected cash flows annually; such

renovation reserves amount to $789,412 in the first ten years ($12,145 per unit). Reserves insure that

future revenue streams continue by maintaining product quality at high levels as required by the

franchisor. Reserves are based on an extensive 2001 study, CapEx, by the International Society of

Hospitality Consultants. The study shows that required reserves average 5.5% over a 20 year period.

We have applied this reasonable 5.5% annual reserve annually for the first ten years.

- Total capital of $5,100,000 is allocated for the development of the project. The estimated total turn-

key cost (excluding land) of $72,308 per unit is average, in our experience. Land has been given an

estimated value of $400,000. Should capital needs vary, then returns would change proportionately.

The estimates of necessary capital include:

Total Investment Land Value $ 400,000 Improvements Budget $ 4,700,000 @ $72,308 per key16

Total Investment $ 5,100,000

OPINION

This report is based on independent opinion, surveys and research from sources

considered reliable. No representation is made as to accuracy or completeness and no

contingent liability of any kind can be accepted.

The study projections are dependent on the developer building and operating a high

quality limited service hotel brand, like those listed in this report, including certain

amenities, and spending the appropriate operating funds necessary to generate projected

revenues, most especially budgeted funds for aforementioned amenities and for

marketing, including a listing in the American Automobile Association Texas Tourbook.

It is our opinion that this report fairly and conservatively represents the room revenues,

profitability and return on investment performance that can be achieved by developing

and operating a 65 unit Limited Service Hotel at the aforementioned sites in Wood

County, Texas.

Please contact us with any questions at (210) 734-3434.

Respectfully submitted,

Todd Walker, Bruce H. Walker, President Chairman

A Study of the Effect of Hotel Size on Performance in the Texas Hotel Industry

The Case for Downsizing New Hotels

By Douglas W. Sutton and Bruce H. Walker

Source Strategies has long contended that the number of rooms a developer offers in a new property is one of the key

factors in determining a venture's relative success or failure. It is every bit as important to size a hotel project properly as

it is to select the appropriate brand, and to develop in a suitable market and location. We have previously conducted

extensive studies of the lodging market that support our hotel sizing contention, and we have taken this opportunity to re-

examine the issue using our extensive database of hotel and motel performance for the State of Texas.

Before delving into the numbers that define the role of room count in a hotel's performance, we should first highlight the

basic industry theory of 'right-sizing' a property. The premise offered by many inexperienced developers is "If I can make

a profit constructing a 50 room hotel in a given market, it would be twice as profitable to develop 100 rooms." In

virtually all cases nothing could be farther from the truth. At some point adding rooms to a project reaches a point of

diminishing returns, and the investment in the additional rooms cannot be economically justified.

To illustrate this point, mentally divide our hypothetical 100 room project into two 50 room hotels. The initial 50 rooms

may perform very well, with occupancies over 70% and a very strong rate structure. However, the second 50 rooms are

only utilized when there is overflow from the first hotel because its rooms are 100% occupied. Effectively, the second 50

rooms may only attain an occupancy of 30% or less. This low level of occupancy may prompt the general manager to

lower rates to bolster occupancy, but this is a losing battle. Ultimately, overbuilding causes REVPAR erosion in the

property, and in the market as a whole.

Today's developers and lenders would not seriously consider involvement in a 50 room project operating at this low level,

but often times they accomplish the same end by pushing for more rooms in a project than the market can effectively

support. If we now mentally put these two 50 room properties back together (one operating at 70%, the other at 30%

occupancy), what we end up with is an oversized 100 room hotel that is running a mediocre 50% occupancy.

Over-sizing a hotel makes it difficult, if not impossible, to be competitive in a marketplace. There are a finite number of

room-nights sold to be divided among existing hotels in the market, and developing a more conservatively sized property

helps insure that a profitable level of those room-nights can be captured. Building a hotel is not the 'Field of Dreams'.... If

you build it - they won't come.... With the exception of destination resorts and some unique convention hotels, people do

not go someplace because there is a hotel. Rather, they stay in a hotel because they want to be near someplace.

Builders who construct too many rooms usually put themselves in unenviable financial situations. Many hotels which we

see put up for sale were developed with far too many rooms. The owners, having had difficulty getting a return on their

investment, are often trying to get out from under a bad investment. There are even drastic cases of properties bulldozing

entire wings to provide additional parking, because those extra rooms are a financial burden, remaining unsold the vast

majority of the time.

Now that we've outlined the basic economic benefits of 'building small', let's look into hotel performance numbers and

see if they support this development principle. We analyzed two separate hotel samplings: First we will look at Comfort

Inns across Texas as a selected brand sampling. Then we will look at all branded hotels built during a given period of

time for a more diverse sampling.

COMFORT INN - ANALYSIS OF SIZING AND ITS IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE

In our initial analysis, we selected a sampling of Texas Comfort Inn branded properties ranging in size from 36 to 75

rooms; they are all 'Limited Service' hotels. We excluded those properties located in exclusive, higher priced markets,

since they would naturally support larger room counts while maintaining strong performance levels and would distort the

findings. The resulting sample included 55 Comfort Inn hotels located across Texas.

The following chart of performance statistics from the latest year on file (12 months ending September 30, 1999) clearly

illustrates the consistent curve, showing marked declines in performance as room count increases. This decline was

exhibited in all three measures shown, Occupancy, Average Daily Rate, and REVPAR:

Looking only at occupancy, the following graph gives a clear depiction of the notable negative impact of larger room

counts on a hotel's ability to maintain an acceptable level of room-nights sold. Properties with lower room counts were

clearly able to sustain a higher level of occupancy. Average occupancy ranged from 66.9% for properties of 36-40 rooms,

downward to a much lower 43.8% average occupancy for properties in the 71-75 room size bracket.

Rooms Occupancy Rate REVPAR

36-40 66.9% $55.25 $36.95

41-45 65.3% $57.34 $37.45

46-50 66.5% $57.38 $38.17

51-55 62.8% $56.02 $35.20

56-60 61.8% $54.26 $33.55

61-65 56.6% $55.33 $31.33

66-70 44.6% $45.71 $20.41

71-75 43.8% $44.20 $19.38

Combined: 52 63.2% $55.46 $35.03

When looking at REVPAR, the following graph follows a very similar performance curve, ranging from an average

REVPAR of $36.95 for properties of 36-101 units, downward to a mediocre $19.38 average REVPAR for properties in

the 71-35 unit size bracket. Note that the downward slide in both graphs did not begin until room counts exceeded 35

units. Prior to that, a mild upward trend is experienced. This appears to indicate that, on average, 50 rooms is the

'optimum' size for a Comfort Inn in Texas markets (excluding high priced areas). Of course, this is an average number for

this type of market. Each project must be examined on an individual basis to determine the proper size to develop within

its given market.

The above chart and graphs clearly illustrates that Developers often missed the mark, building more rooms than

'optimum.' 'Optimum' is defined as generating the highest return on invested capital, and is closely tied to occupancy and

REVPAR generation.

Analyzing the above data provides a measure of the effect of over building. For the typical range of rooms for Comfort

Inn projects (40-75 rooms) outside of higher priced areas, the occupancy dropped 23.1 points (a full 35%) from 66.9% to

43.8% as room counts escalated. With a 35 room increase in rooms from the 36-40 room size bracket to the 71-75 room

size bracket, a resulting 35% drop in occupancy is experienced.

The key question, is how to apply this principle to a given hotel project. Naturally, each project would have to be judged

on its individual merits, but looking at an 'average' project for a single brand and product is very revealing. All are

Comfort Inns. All are very similar products in similar market environments, leaving size as the major variable in

performance.

In our sampling, the average project is 65 rooms in size. At this size, the average occupancy is 62.8%. If we built 36%

fewer rooms (42 rooms) our average occupancy would rise a moderate 6.5% to 66.9%. Conversely, if we built 36% more

than average, (71 rooms) our average occupancy plummets by 42.5% to 43.8%.

Clearly there are some basic economic principles at work. Comfort Inns are conservatively-sized. Building smaller than

the average of 65 rooms yields slightly higher occupancies, but the ability to charge ever higher rates as size decreases is

marginal. As rates rise, some consumers perceive lost value and will stay at another property. On the other side of the

coin, properties built larger than the average 65 rooms suffer serious occupancy declines. At some point the need for

additional rooms that was envisioned by the optimistic developer is simply not there, and the extra rooms only serve to

depress the overall performance of the property.

BRANDED HOTELS - ANALYSIS OF SIZING AND ITS IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE

In our second analysis, we selected a sampling of all Texas branded hotels constructed from 1970-1975; 91 properties

across Texas, predominantly 'Full Service'. Our sampling was limited to hotels of less than 135 rooms. We once again

excluded those properties located in exclusive, higher priced markets. For our analysis we examined performance results

from the year 1985 when all subject hotels were 10 to 15 years old, well into their aging life cycles.

The following chart of performance statistics from 1985 for branded properties throughout Texas clearly illustrates the

downward curve, with definite erosion in performance measures as room count increases:

With occupancy declines being the strongest indicator of the negative impact of building too large, the following graph

provides a clear picture of the descending performance slide as room counts increase. Once again, properties with lower

room counts were more insulated from market competition and were therefore able to be more competitive in both

favorable and depressed market environments. Average occupancy ranged from 70% for properties of 58 rooms or less,

downward to a much lower 55.5% average occupancy for properties in the 120-134 room size bracket, after peaking at

73.9% in the 45-59 size range.

As with the Comfort Inn analysis, the above data provides a measure of the effect of over building. However, since a

number of varying brands are considered in this sample, the typical size of these projects ranges from about 40 to 135.

This is a wider range than the Comfort sampling, since many of the brands in this sample typically have larger room

counts than a Comfort Inn. This is partially due to some brands' ability to support higher room counts, and partially due to

the tendency to overbuild in the early 1970s, when all hotels in this sample were constructed.

While the 65 room average for our Comfort Inn sample is reasonably close to optimum sizing for that brand, the 98 room

average for this analysis appears to be oversized. In our assessment, the optimum average number of rooms for this

sampling would have been 60 to 41 rooms, depending upon brand. In 1985, this roomcount supported occupancies near

70%, with an average REVPAR of almost $27. Compare this to the average capacity of 98 rooms attaining a much lower

average occupancy of 60.9% and REVPAR below $20. Clearly this lower level of performance can be attributed to over-

sizing projects in the early 1970s.

Looking at our average (oversized) roomcount of 98 rooms, increasing the size by 30% (135 rooms) would cause

occupancy to slide 10% from 60.9% to 55.5%. On the other hand, making the average project smaller (58 rooms, or 75%

smaller) would improve occupancy to 73.9%, or a healthy 21% increase.

For the sake of comparison, let us assume that the average property was more appropriately sized at about 58 rooms. If

the project size were increased to 135 rooms, the largest range in our sample, occupancy would suffer a significant 33%

decline from optimum levels.

Of course this assumes that locational differences are not significant. We believe this is true; the large sample and clear

correlation between size and performance support this conclusion.

SUMMARY

The data is clear. In most cases, small hotels outperform large hotels, with the exception of higher-priced markets where

competitive barriers to entry exist (e.g. lack of land, excessive land cost, building restrictions, etc.).

Common sense explains this occurrence: a successful 100 room hotel will inevitably prompt the development of one or

more new, small hotels of similar quality in the immediate area. In a competitive market environment, the smaller hotel

has a distinct advantage and wins - almost every time.

AN ANALYSIS OF HOTEL AGING FOR MID-MARKET HOTEL PROPERTIES

By Doug Sutton, Executive Vice President, Source Strategies, & Paul Vaughn, Senior Vice President, Source Strategies.

(Excerpted from the Hotel Brand Report, Issue 137, May 2019)

In ongoing efforts to ensure that our Feasibility Study methodology is as accurate as possible, Source Strategies has

engaged in an updated investigation of the effects of aging on hotel properties. This article, the first of three deep dives

into the hotel property life-cycle, focuses on mid-market limited service properties. This study was conducted

independently from previous aging studies, with a significantly expanded sample, and a more in-depth analysis of various

product types. While we expected to find that there is still a readily identifiable and quantifiable aging curve, this

research would update our aging model, as it is based upon the most current available data and incorporates the latest

lodging market conditions, with the impact of internet booking sites, current customer preferences, mandated renovation

and maintenance regimens along with stricter brand quality controls for product lines that are mid-market and higher.

KEY FINDING: There is a clearly identifiable aging life-cycle for hotels. This study found that hotels in the mid-

market sector ramp-up after opening and peak in Year 3 at a premium of about 16% compared to the expected 20

year average performance. The performance level is determined by comparing the hotel’s annual REVPAR17 to that of

the local market as an index. The process is detailed later in this study. After Year 3, a hotel’s performance will

gradually lose ground to the market as the property ages. This analysis found that the period of above average

performance ranged from Years 2 through 10, with performance continuing to soften as properties age beyond

that point. This is an inevitable process, and while a diligent maintenance and renovation program can lessen the

effect of aging, it cannot eliminate it entirely. As cited in our previous aging studies, “The consumer almost always

picks new over old because, to them, 'new' means 'clean' and 'new' means 'value.”

METHODOLOGY:

Identifying our Sample Group of Hotels:

For this analysis we identified a sampling of mid-market hotels that recently completed their tenth year of operation.

Selection criteria for our study sample follows:

Opened in 2008

Prominent mid-market limited service brands: Best Western, Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Courtyard by

Marriott, Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn, Homewood Suites, La Quinta,

Residence Inn

Not located in prominent central business districts (CBD)/metropolitan downtowns

Room count of 150 rooms or less

Additional atypical properties were excluded from our sample for reasons outlined below

17 Revenue per Available Room per Day, a prominent hotel industry statistic.

As all hotels in this sample were opened in 2008 we were able to specifically look at the most recent 10-year pool of data

that is available. We selected prominent branded properties and excluded notably larger properties and those located in

CBD areas. We eliminated any property where we identified outside factors that may have had undue influence on the

hotel property. In doing this, we made every effort to select a sample where aging could be isolated as the primary

variable on each hotel’s performance over its first 10 years of operation. Outside factors which led us to exclude some

properties from our analysis included brand changes; volatile hurricane, flood and oil markets; changes in hotel room

count; and periods of closure. Further, any properties with widely fluctuating performance, indicating management

issues, change of ownership, renovation periods, area road construction, or other non-typical outside influences were also

eliminated from our study sample.

Assigning a REVPAR Index:

To assign a REVPAR Index, we first compiled REVPAR performance data for each hotel in our selected sample of mid-

market properties. We then identified the local area market for each selected property and compiled annual REVPAR

performance data for each hotel’s respective local market. These local markets were selected to accurately represent the

subject’s competitive set, and included from 15 to 25 surrounding properties. Rural properties may have a market

consisting of area counties, while more urban properties may have a market defined by one or more area zip codes.

After compilation of both hotel and market data, we then compared each individual property’s REVPAR performance to

that of its associated market as an index for each year of operation. The formula for deriving our REVPAR Index is

(Property REVPAR / Market REVPAR = Index). If the property matched the performance of its market, the resulting

Index would be 1.00. If the property’s performance exceeded the market by 20%, the resulting Index would be 1.20.

Conversely, if the property’s performance trailed that of its surrounding market by 20%, the Index would be 0.80.

Identifying an Aging Curve:

By measuring the property’s REVPAR performance versus that of its surrounding market, we can reliably identify and

plot the impact of aging on each selected property over time, by brand and product category, since we are effectively

neutralizing the influence of market fluctuations. In a hotel’s peak performing years, properties will have the highest

measured performance Index, while in early ramp-up, or later age impacted years, we would expect a measurably lower

Index versus the local market.

ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:

We identified 84 qualifying hotel properties across 11 subject mid-market brands that

opened in 2008. In analyzing this sample, we found that average performance begins

with a softer first year REVPAR index (130%) before a notable jump in Year 2 (148%),

and a milder increase to a peak level in Year 3 (153%). After peaking in Year 3,

performance begins to gradually decline as properties age. Our average Year 10

REVPAR Index (133%) was about a year from receding back to the level of the initial

year of operation. This indicates that the expected period of elevated performance (the

top of the curve) ranges from Years 2 through 10 in our aging life cycle, with age

induced performance gradually receding below average beyond Year 10.

In recent years, hoteliers have expressed to us that in the age of the Internet, with

immediate online visibility and easy booking, hotels do not suffer as much of a slow

start-up period as our previous studies have indicated. We found this to have some validity, but as outlined below there is

still a definite life-cycle with a three-year ramp-up period.

Figure 1 shows the progression of REVPAR Indices over the first 10 years of operation in our sample. The table shows

a weighted average REVPAR Index (by room count) of all 84 properties in our sample. The above described ramp-up,

peak, and subsequent decline are readily apparent. This sampling showed an average 2% (1.96%) decline in years 4-10

after the Year 3 peak.

The 10-Year Aging by Brand graph (Figure 2) illustrates both the weighted average aging curve for all 84 hotels (in red),

as well as individual brand aging curves that comprised this average. Of note, higher performing products have a more

pronounced aging curve than brands with a lower average REVPAR.

This process is reflective of the particular mix of chain properties, a

mix which produced REVPAR moderately higher than their market

average. Brands with higher average REVPAR will generally be

higher on the graph above indicating their positioning at or above

their respective local market averages (1.0). To eliminate the effect

of a specific mix of chains, we then interpolated the scale to be

relative to the 20-year life-cycle of a specific property so that the

application of the year-by-year REVPAR indices to any project

would result in averaging 1.0 over the first twenty years of operation.

The performance shown in the table at right (Figure 3) starts at a

higher index, and peaks at a higher level than previous research has

indicated. As a reference, this table also lists previously studied, and

long cited analysis numbers. Note that the numbers do show a

moderately higher starting point from previously cited aging patterns, but a notable three year ramp-up period to peak

performance is still the norm. Offsetting this moderately faster start-up position, the aging decline after a hotel peaks has

shown to be slightly accelerated from past analysis.

Since we needed to look at the most recent aging performance possible to determine the current aging cycle, we analyzed

a sizable sample limited to 10 year old hotels. It goes without saying that there is no extended data beyond year 10

available for this sample of hotel properties. Therefore, to determine the aging curve beyond 10 years we extracted an

additional wider pool of data for a sample of hotels operating beyond the 10 year point. We were able to determine

reliable factors of aging decline experienced by a similar hotel beyond 10 years. We found an average decline of

approximately 2.2% in Year 10-15 of a hotel’s life, decelerating to a slower 1% decline after Year 15 of operation. Note

that we are only using the later year declines from this sample set to allow us to see a later period in a hotel’s life cycle

(years 11-20). This second pool of hotels all opened from 1994-1998 and their first 10 years of data are not as current or

relevant to this analysis.

By using the average declines

experienced in years 11-20 we

can expand the table in Figure 4:

These figures can then be plotted

on a graph and extended over a

thirty year period with a 1%

decline per year as follows in

Figure 5:

Using these factors, we were able to extrapolate an extended aging curve for mid-market limited service hotels as shown

in green in Figure 6, reliably defining the expectation of the extended aging impact on a prospective mid-market hotel

development. The previous aging curve is shown in blue for reference.

It should be noted that beyond 10 years in a hotel’s life cycle, many other factors are more prevalent that will affect the

hotel’s performance. As a hotel ages, it may fail to meet the same quality standards, and is will frequently be reflagged

with a less prominent brand, or it

may become an independent

(unbranded) hotel. This can

coincide with ownership changes,

major remodeling projects, and

other influencing factors. In the

later years of these hotels' life-

cycles, they often downgrade to

budget properties due to their

declining quality. Though these

other factors are considered

‘outside influences’ in how they

impact a property, they are actually

very closely tied to a hotel’s

inevitable long term aging cycle.

Summary

In conclusion, the aging cycle of a hotel property directly affects the performance of that property. The performance will

start just below its 20-year average performance, ramp up to 116% of that average before gradually declining over time.

Using this information, Source Strategies can more accurately predict the performance of hotel projects in feasibility

studies, valuations and other performance analysis.

CapEx: A STUDY OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IN THE US HOTEL INDUSTRY

The following is a summary of the International Society of Hospitality Consultants' 2000 "CapEx Study, A Study of

Capital Expenditures in the US Hotel Industry" as it applies to limited service properties:

The objective of our historical analysis in CapEx 2000 was to determine what has been spent in the past to maintain a

hotel in good, competitive condition. Hotel owners and management companies were contacted to provide data for the

study.

Definition of CapEx

"Capital Expenditure" is defined as: investments of cash or the creation of liability to acquire or improve an asset, e.g.,

land, buildings, building additions, site improvements, machinery, equipment; Comparatively, the "reserve for

replacement" for a hotel asset has been narrowly defined as the funds set aside for the periodic replacement of furniture,

fixtures and equipment (FF&E). The reserve was not contemplated to fund the replacement of major building

components, such as roofs, elevators, and chillers.

For this study the term has been defined as: the cost of replacing worn out FF&E, as well as the cost of;

- updating design and decor - curing functional and economic obsolescence... - complying with franchisors' brand requirements - technology improvements - product change to meet market demands - adhering to government regulatory requirements - replacing all short- and long-lived building components due to wear and tear

Although many equity investors frequently argue against the necessity of a reserve, particularly if the investor does not

plan to hold the property for greater than five years, the requirement for and amount of reserves are typically contractual

issues between ownership, lender, manager, and/or franchisor/franchisee.

Significant Findings of CapEx 2000

The average amount spent per year by limited-service hotels in the survey was determined to be 5.5% of total revenue for

the time period covered by CapEx 2000 (1988-1998). As these limited-service hotels have matured, CapEx has increased,

underscoring one of our principal findings that CapEx requirements increase as a hotel ages. CapEx Spending is highly

dependent upon a hotel's point in its life cycle. The following chart shows the range of CapEx spending (as a percentage

of total revenues) over a 25-year time period; the table following the chart identifies the specific ranges of CapEx

spending as a percentage of total revenues by year.

As the data indicates, CapEx spending increases over time for all (U.S.) hotels, with large differences in both the level of

CapEx spending and timing across different hotels. The data illustrates that, over time, the minimum and maximum

levels of CapEx spending generally widens as a hotel increases in age.

For limited-service hotels, the first major increase in spending occurs in the sixth year, which likely represents the

replacement of soft goods. The first major spike occurs in year 10, which is likely to be the result of a rooms and

corridors renovation. Smaller spikes in CapEx spending occur in the following years, with the next major spending spike

occurring in year 17, which is likely building and some mechanical renovation and replacement.

The following series of tables illustrates limited-service CapEx spending levels in various demographic categories:

Overall, the study details the varying levels of capital required to keep a hotel competitive in its life cycle. Historically,

many operators have held no more than 3-4% of gross revenues in reserve, a level which may be sufficient for FF&E

replacement, but is woefully inadequate for other required expenditures.18

This unique analysis technique highlights trends and deviations in performance, regardless of market movement; a REVPAR index versus market average shows how well a property has performed. By limiting study to a single variable, truly scientific conclusions can be made as to cause and effect. Deviations from trend can be related to specific, causal events such as management problems or outside influence (e.g. new highway construction, brand change, new competition); if there is no effect from an event, studies confirm the absence of any impact). If there is an effect, the degree is measurable and apparent. This study approach is among Source's most important work, frequently the basis for expert witness testimony by Source's principal Bruce Walker. Examples of major studies include: a) the (lack of) induced demand from opening large North hotels in Texas, 1980 through 2003; b) the impact of adding a second luxury hotel of the same brand in a local market, or removing a hotel of the same name, on the performance of the pre-existing property; 3) Studies to separate and quantify hotel Business Value - and the separate Real Estate Value - for tax assessment disputes. The most important study here was to determine the average revenue effect of adding or removing the "Marriott Hotel" name to numerous hotel properties from 1980 through 1995. Source Strategies has produced values for the Marriott Austin hotel and the Marriott Rivercenter hotel San Antonio, both with- and without- the Marriott name for real property tax disputes. Clients included USAA, the Bexar County Appraisal District, and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Frequent litigation clients have included the TxDOT through Texas Attorney General's Office for condemnation valuation and damage cases (Days Inn Houston I-45N, Motel 6 Ft. Worth, Holiday Inn Houston I-45N, La Quinta Houston I-45N, Holiday Inn Lubbock, Austin Hawthorn Suites South, Chariot Inn, Malibu Grand Prix, Dallas Sheraton, San Antonio Holiday Select Airport, Coit Towers Hotel Dallas, Erie County PA Hotel Owners vs. Convention Authority, Bandera Motel San Antonio), USAA, Bexar County Appraisal District, Capital Income Properties (Hilton Nassau Bay, Austin Marriott North), American Liberty, Dosani Brenham Inn, Wes-Tex Management El Campo. Hospitality (Homeplace Inn), Ramada Bannister Austin (lock manufacturer), Rodeway Inn I-10 West (bank's non-funding of a committed loan), Homer J. Rader, and Siu Ft Worth and San Antonio Inn (bankruptcies), Holiday/Clarion (loss due to change of brand), United Fire (Wingate McAllen performance due to construction issues), Hyatt Regency San Antonio (arbitration re: introduction of second Hyatt in CVB), Drury Inn Riverwalk. 4. Numerous studies to determine the effect on revenues and cash flow of brand name alternatives, whether in new builds or in changing to or from a brand name. This technique is used extensively in feasibility work to predict revenue performance of new hotel projects under various brand name alternatives. 5. Represented Host Marriott before Real Estate Tax Appeal Board, Virginia. 6. Drafted national lending guidelines for Heller Small Business Finance for lodging projects under $5 million. 7. Presentations to bank lending committees to explain the economics of the lodging industry, particularly the effect of market demand and supply, equilibrium occupancy, cost structures, and the effect of brand name on REVPAR and ROIC. 8. Analysis of alternative markets to determine their potential for new lodging: alternative metro areas, alternative sites, and strategically, for an expanding chain. 9. Consumer intercept and secondary data studies, including the effect of a new hotel or a potential name change.

Methodology of Texas Hotel/Motel Reports Texas Hotel/Motel Quarterly Reports are prepared on a custom basis for private and public clients. Reports are prepared by Source Strategies of San Antonio, Texas, based on the SSI proprietary database. Data sources include the following: Room Revenues: State of Texas Comptroller records are the source of taxable and gross room revenues for all properties. All properties exceeding $36,000 in the current quarter are included; allowing the Source Strategies database to cover. As a 98% of Texas lodging industry market. Gross room revenues (including Non-taxable) were reported to the Comptroller starting in the third quarter of 1990. To account for the missing non-taxable revenues prior to the third quarter of 1990, Source Strategies increases each individual property's taxable-only, reported revenues by variable factors averaging 12% to reflect this untaxed volume (e.g. government business, over 30-day stays, charitable and educational purchases). Starting in the third quarter of 1990, hotels and motels were required by the Texas Comptroller to report both taxable and gross room revenues. Approximately 80% of properties usually comply, allowing the development of adjustment factors for all hotels and motels, even if only taxable revenues are reported. For example, taxable room revenues are adjusted accordingly higher if a hotel reports only taxable revenues (i.e. where taxable equals gross room revenues). Properties that make no report or only partial reports are estimated based on the taxable and gross revenues of the past five quarter trends and performance of similar hotels. If and when they subsequently report accurately, their actual revenues 'overwrite' our estimates. Room Counts: these are checked annually in chain directories, the Texas American Automobile Association Tour Book, brand websites and telephoning to hotels; properties checked account for approximately 80% of revenues. For independent properties too small to be listed, the room counts reported to the state are used (unless they appear unreasonable; if so, a telephone contact is made). As a result, the 'CHAIN' occupancies and room counts appear to be very close to 'actual', while independent room counts could be slightly overstated. Reports are split into CHAIN and INDEPENDENT categories. Average Daily Rates are estimated with the aid of financial reports, appraisers, private S.S.I. surveys, chain and AAA directories and another reliable industry database. Room-nights sold are derived from the above revenues, divided by Average Daily Rates. Room-nights available are calculated from Room Counts (times days in the period). Occupancy is calculated from room-nights sold and room-nights available. All occupancy figures reported represent fully weighted averages, as calculations are always made after sub-totaling or totaling room-nights sold and room-nights available.

"CHAINS" are defined as one of the "Top 70+" brands, and include the following names: Four Seasons, Gaylord, Westin, ZaZa, W, Hilton, Hyatt, Inter-Continental, Marriott, Omni, Renaissance, Wyndham, Embassy, Homewood, Residence, Staybridge, Clarion, Courtyard, Crowne Plaza, Indigo, Doubletree, Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn, Radisson, Sheraton, Candlewood, Comfort Suites, Hawthorn, Quality Suites, SpringHill, TownePlace, Baymont, Best Western, Comfort Inn, Country Inn, Drury, Fairfield, Hampton, Holiday Express, La Quinta, Wingate, Budget Suites, Extended Stay America, Intown, Value Place, Studio Plus, Studio 6, Best Value, Days, Econo Lodge, Howard Johnson, Microtel, Motel 6, Quality Inn, Ramada, Red Roof, Super 8, Home2 Suites and Tru.

Accuracy: Room counts and Room Revenues are within 2%. On an overall basis, the change in average daily rates reported by Source Strategies Inc. have typically been within a few tenths of one-percent of other private research firms operating in the Texas market.
