**MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ANDFINANCIAL CONDITION**

 

**FIRSTSIX MONTHS 2002 COMPARED TO 2001**

 

Net income for the six month period ending June 30, 2002 was $641,000,or $0.17 per common share, compared to $2,527,000, or $0.68 per common share,in the same period in 2001.  TheCompany’s results continue to be affected by lower demand, both from group andtransient markets, due to the reduction in travel following the events ofSeptember 11, 2001, and due to the economic recession.  Lower demand has fueled fierce competitionfor available business, resulting in discounted average room rates.  The resulting decreases in room revenue peravailable room (“REVPAR”) have resulted in lower revenues and operating profitsduring the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period last year.

Revenues during the first six months of 2002 at Sonesta Beach ResortAnguilla were $2,354,000, compared to $3,130,000 in the same period in2001.  The 25% decrease in revenues wasprimarily due to a 27% decrease in room revenue per available room (“REVPAR”),mainly because of lower occupancy. Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne reported revenues of $15,355,000 duringthe six month period ending June 30, 2002, compared to $17,571,000 in2001.  The Resort’s REVPAR decreased 19%compared to a year ago, due to both lower occupancies and average room rates,especially during the second quarter.  Asimilar decrease in REVPAR of 15% at Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge)caused its revenues to decrease from $14,370,000 in the first six months of2001 to $12,319,000 in 2002.  A 14%decrease in food and beverage revenues further contributed to the decrease inrevenues.

Total revenues declined by$887,000, from $20,684,000 in the six month period ending June 30, 2001 to$19,797,000 in the same period in 2002.

This decrease of $392,000was primarily due to lower income of $412,000 from the Company’s managedproperties in Egypt.  The continuedunrest in the Middle East has had a negative impact on business in Egypt.

Interest expense decreased by $206,000 from $3,407,000in the first six months of 2001 to $3,201,000 in the same period in 2002, dueto lower interest on the Company’s mortgage loans, because of a lower interestrate on the Anguilla loan, and a lower principal balance on the Cambridge andKey Biscayne loans (see Note 3—Borrowing Arrangements).

 

Interest income in the first six months of 2002 was$246,000 compared to $890,000 in the first six months of 2001, a decrease of$644,000.  This decrease was due tolower short-term investment income because of much lower rates of return duringthe first half of 2002 compared to 2001, and because of the Company’s lowercash balances.

 

Included in gain from casualty in 2001 was $801,000from the final settlement of a business interruption claim related to HurricaneLenny, which damaged the Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla in November 1999.

Expenses decreased by $403,000, which was mainly attributable todecreased cost and operating, administrative and general, marketing andmaintenance expense.  Sonesta BeachResort Key Biscayne reported a 2002 second quarter operating loss of $423,000compared to 2001 second quarter operating income of $19,000, a decrease ofapproximately $442,000.  Decreasedrevenues of $1,486,000 were partially offset by decreases in expenses of$1,044,000.

Operating income at Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston (Cambridge) was$1,730,000 during the 2002 second quarter, compared to $2,145,000 in the samequarter a year ago, a decrease of $415,000.

**OTHER INCOME (DEDUCTIONS)**

 

Interest expense decreased by $58,000 from $1,666,000in the second quarter of 2001 to $1,608,000 in the same period in 2002, becauseof a lower interest rate on the Anguilla mortgage loan, and a lower principalbalance on the Cambridge and Key Biscayne mortgage loans (see also Note3—Borrowing Arrangements).

 

Interest income in the second quarter of 2002 was$118,000 compared to $370,000 in the 2001 second quarter, a decrease of$252,000.  This decrease was due tolower short-term investment income because of much lower rates of return in2002 compared to 2001, and because of the Company’s lower cash balances.  This decrease in short term investmentincome more than offset interest earned on the Company’s loans to the owner ofthe new Sonesta Hotel & Suites Coconut Grove (see Note 2 — Long TermReceivables and Advances).

**FEDERAL, FOREIGN AND STATE INCOME TAXES**

 

The provision for income taxes during the first sixmonths of 2002 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to state taxesprovided on the Company’s income from Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans.

 

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

 

The Company had cash and cash equivalents ofapproximately $10,894,000 at June 30, 2002. In addition, the Company has $7,000,000 available under two creditlines.

 

In July 2002 the Company signed an agreement to sellthe Sonesta Beach Resort Anguilla.  Theagreement is contingent on the buyer receiving approval from the Government ofAnguilla to obtain a license to own land in Anguilla.  If this approval is granted, parties intend to close on thistransaction in September 2002.  Underthe terms of the agreement, net proceeds after commissions and other expensesare estimated at approximately $10,000,000. Based on the book value of the Hotel’s assets, the Company expects toreport a pre-tax loss on the sale in 2002 of approximately $1,300,000 if thistransaction were to be completed in September.

 

The Company agreed to loan an additional $500,000 tothe owner of Sonesta Beach Resort Sharm El Sheikh, to assist with the financingof the construction of additional rooms and other hotel facilities.  An amount of $200,000 was funded in July,and the remaining $300,000 will be funded as the improvements are being completed.

 

During the first six months of 2002, the Companyadvanced $1,600,000 to the owner of the Sonesta Hotel & Suites CoconutGrove, Miami, which is a condominium hotel that opened in April 2002.   Under its agreements, the Company will loanup to $5,000,000 to the project to fund part of the project costs, and forpre-opening costs and working capital (see also Note 2 — Long Term Receivablesand Advances).  The Company expects tofund the remaining portion of this commitment, approximately $550,000, by theend of 2002.

 

In 2002, the Company entered into an agreement tomanage a condominium hotel in Sunny Isles, Florida.  This Hotel is currently under construction, and is expected toopen in the winter of 2002/2003.  Underits agreements, the Company will fund pre-opening costs and workingcapital.  In addition, the Company willfund costs for Hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment in excess of a certainlimit, and is also committed to purchase four condominium units in theHotel.  At this point, the Companyestimates its total commitment to be approximately $4.5 million, of whichapproximately $265,000 was advanced at June 30, 2002.   Based on the management agreement, the Company will receivemanagement fees based on revenues, and incentive fees based on profits, asdefined.  Under the same agreements, theCompany is committed to provide the Hotel’s owner with certain minimum returnseach year, subject to limits, following the opening of the Hotel.  In addition, the Company has an option tobuy the Hotel, which option can be exercised after the Hotel opens.

 

The Company believes that its present cash balancesand other available credit lines will be more than adequate to meet its cashrequirements for 2002 and beyond.
