EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

RECOMMENDATIONS

Further to our asset review we concluded the following:

LEGAL SUMMARY

The Hotel is freehold and operated as a Brand under

an HMA between An Hotel Company and Hotel Owner

and a separate Trade Mark Licence granted by An Hotel

Company. The HMA is lacking in a number of

protections for Hotel Owner and is very one sided in

favour of a Hotel Company.

The Hotel Owner also entered into a Non-Disturbance

Agreement with a Hotel Company and the Bank as well

as a Facility Agreement with the Bank. As part of the

Facility Agreement, Hotel Owner granted a full security

package to the Bank over the assets of the Hotel and

shares in Hotel Owner.

The Hotel was opened in 1995 as a new build.

COMMERICAL SUMMARY

The Hotel is running below its market and competitive set

position due principally to poor ARR performance, though

there is also evidence that occupancy is also beginning

to drop against market benchmarks.

As a result of falling top-line revenue Rooms and Food

Gross Profits are very low indeed which suggests that

management have not made the necessary cuts in their

cost model to accommodate falling revenue resulting in

proportionately high Administrative & General, and Wage

levels at 16.7% and 36% of total revenue respectively.

The main revenue generating areas of the Hotel are

generally in poor condition, particularly the bedrooms,

and are in need of some capital expenditure to bring the

product into line with its competitive set.

Through our analysis we envisage four scenarios which

will assist in driving better revenues and net profits and

will strengthen the debt service coverage position as

follows:

Scenario 1- Current trading

172,300 + 3,700 +10,300+14,600

PROPERTY SUMMARY

OVERVIEW

The Hotel was purpose built in 1995 and is well located off a

major thoroughfare in King Fahad Road Riyadh and within

minutes of KAFD and Kingdom Centre. The Hotel is

currently operated under an HMA with An Hotel Company

but would be suitable for alternative branding or

repositioning.

The Hotel benefits from high visibility in a prominent location

and is well sign posted with good complementary amenities

within the immediate locale supporting the needs of both

business and leisure guests.

LOCATION & SURROUNDINGS ANALYSIS

Since the hotel opening, the neighbourhood has grown from

few residential buildings to micro economy, characterised by

a large number of new hotels, and retail outlets. Our Site

econometric analysis has produced the following results:

1. Suitability for Re-Development: The current market

demand is high for service apartment. The asset in

its current status allow for the re-configuration of the

bedroom stock, hence the opportunity to convert 20

units into serviced apartments which will add an

extra SAR 15,000 or room revenue per annum per

room sold.

Page 7: Ad vantage report ksa

SAMPLE REPORT (POSSIBLE VARIATION IN FINAL REPORT) 6

2. Visibility: Despite the number of residential buildings

been built around the asset, visibility still good.

However, we strongly recommend reviewing

signage and information on the hotel website.

3. Accessibility: Major work around the site has led to

traffic been diverted and therefore accessibility to

the hotel have been restricted. This could affect

business in short to medium term.

4. Proximity to Demand Generators: New companies

have occupied the adjacent building and this put the

hotel in a stronger position when compared with

direct competitors.

5. Market Growth Potential: Macro market growth is

limited as the main tourism source markets are still

suffering from economic downturn. GCC and Egypt

are the markets which we have identified as catalyst

for the growth. Micro market growth is limited to the

new tenants in adjacent office building and meeting

business from existing clients.

6. Barriers to Entry for New Hotel Supply: Barriers

are very low and as there are quite few plots

available in the surroundings and the threat from

new supply still very high.

PHYSICAL ASSET & FACILITIES –TRAFFIC LIGHT ANALYSIS

The table below summarises the Hotel's facilities and

amenities

The Hotel is generally in poor condition having received little

capital expenditure over recent years. The reception, lounge

and bedrooms are in need of a soft refurbishment to

maintain the Hotel's competitive position within its market

place and against its competitive set. This could seriously

threat the room revenue achievable and therefore a negative

impact on net profit and worsening of debt service coverage.

The food and beverage facilities are however well

maintained and are popular amongst both Hotel guests and

the public. The Hotel bar in particular has a cachet within the

immediate locale and trades strongly on weekday evenings.

The meeting and conference facilities are largely operable,

though the smaller meeting rooms could use some

improvements to the soft furnishings and wall coverings

which are tired. The leisure areas are in fair condition though

the changing rooms would appear to have a damp issue and

the shower areas are in need of some improvements.

The back of house areas are generally in very poor condition

with the kitchens and staff facilities in particular requiring

immediate attention and investment.

The exterior of the building is generally good though a

freshen up of the façade and better maintenance of the trees

and shrubs would improve appearances immediately. In

addition, the lighting of the Hotel as well as night and

general signage requires attention.

TRADING PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

The Hotel is trading reasonably well with a good mix of

Corporate and Leisure business. Average room rate and

occupancy are broadly in line with the Hotel's competitive

set (see Appendix 1) though ARR has shown some decline

in recent months.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, 2010-11 (FULL P&L IN

MARKET PERFORMANCE

The Hotel's competitive set as an average performed

relatively well over the previous three years, though with the

recent economic downturn, the Meetings, Incentives,

Conferences and Events (MICE) segment has been hit

which has had an adverse effect on all the Hotels in the

sector.

SAMPLE REPORT (POSSIBLE VARIATION IN FINAL REPORT) 10

Our detailed P&L analysis, as summarised above, indicates

that the Hotels performance has suffered particularly in the

past two years with top line figures down both in real and

comparative terms.

ROOMS DEPARTMENT-MARGINS

• Rooms Revenue @ 35.7% of 2011’s Forecast

• Rooms Profit @ 36.3% of 2011’s Forecast

• Rooms Margin should be constant and increasing

with good cost management approaches

• Hotel rooms should have a room’s profit margin in

excess of 80%, but currently the hotel is achieving

below this threshold. To achieve annual target the

hotel needs to achieve profits at 75.9%

ROOMS DEPARTMENT COSTS- BENCHMARK

• Hotel 1 has the Ideal Cost / Profitability Mix.

• Hotel 2 is a Normal hotel operating at a higher cost

base due to guest turnover

• The subject hotel has an Opportunity cost of 3%

points reduction on the Rooms Costs to reach the

optimum scenario.

FOOD & BEVERAGE DEPARTMENT-MARGINS

• F&B Revenue @ 26.8% of 2011’s Forecast

• F&B Profit @ 16.7% of 2011’s Forecast

• F&B Margin is at 5.7%, Cost of Sale is at 25%,

Payroll is at 60% and other costs at 9%.

An opportunity lies in improving Payroll through multitasking

and skills training.

• The subject hotel is forecasted to trade at a poor cost

Profitability Margin of just 9%.

OTHER DEPARTMENT-MARGINS

• Other Revenue @ 20.9% of 2011’s Forecast

• Other Profit @ 21.5% of 2011’s Forecast

• Other Margin is at 69.1%, with a yearend target of

67.2%

The Analysis concluded that it is below the line costs where

there have been some mismanagement with conversion to

EBITDA dropping significantly.

This in itself implies that insufficient measures were taken by

the Hotel's management to reduce their fixed costs in the

preceding years. Immediate remedies can be taken in this

area to reduce costs, some of which can be affected by the

operator themselves (procurement, staffing, management

fees) whilst other, property based costs, should be dealt with

by the Owners.

Whilst the mismanagement of the cost model is important,

top line figures could have been maintained in line with the

market and it is our opinion that the Hotel has performed

below competitors in this area due to insufficient expenditure

on FF&E, hence less marketable.

COMMERCIAL CONCLUSIONS

THE PROPERTY

The Hotel is generally in fair condition though we feel it has

been underinvested in over the past few years and would

benefit greatly from a soft refurbishment. Additional works

should be carried out on the exterior of the building to

improve the façade, landscaping signage and lighting

around the building.

If reinvestment takes place the Hotel should claw back its

position within the market and re-establish its market

penetration to bring profits back up to historic levels. This will

enable the owner to have a healthier business and better

service coverage of its interests in the property and business

at the best possible exit value

LEGAL OVERVIEW

POTENTIAL CLAIMS AGAINST THIRD PARTIES

Our initial review of the documents indicate that the Bank is

unlikely to have a claim against either the original valuer or

the solicitors who advised on the grant of the loan facility at

the start of the Bank's loan. However, this should be

reviewed in more detail if the Bank's loss crystallises

(subject to any limitation issues). In the event that a more

detailed review indicates that the Bank does have a claim

against a third party in relation to its loss, Al Tamimi &

Company would like to discuss with the Bank options for

funding such claims.

OVERVIEW OF BANK’S SECURITY PACKAGE

The Bank’s security package includes a number of

shareholder (i.e. borrower group) guarantees, a fixed charge

over the Property and an assignment of the borrower's

interest in: (a) the Hotel agreements including the non-

disturbance and management agreements; and (b) the

income, retentions, sale proceeds and any insurance

proceeds relating to the Hotel. A pledge by the borrower

provides the Bank with security over the shares of [Holding

Company].

The recommended restructuring option in this case is to

threaten to exercise the lender's rights under the facility

agreements (although not any rights of appropriation in the

pledge), including the rights under guarantees granted in its

favour, so as to illicit sufficient funds from Hotel Owner's

group of companies for Hotel Owner to bring the facility back

from default without the necessity of enforcement of security.

If, as seems likely, this threat results in a satisfactory

compromise it will be appropriate to amend and restate the

loan to extend its term (and potentially, at the same time,

relax certain financial covenants) in return for:

a charged cash deposit;

an equity injection into the borrower from its

shareholders/guarantors;

additional security from other members of the

borrowing group;

Page 15: Ad vantage report ksa

SAMPLE REPORT (POSSIBLE VARIATION IN FINAL REPORT) 14

Schedule of HMA

Terms

Hotel Owner using the monies available within

the FF&E reserve account to carry out the

proposed refurbishment works (i.e. against the

background of the above improved security

package),

such that, if the restructured facility does not result in Hotel

Owner being able to meet its commitments, the Hotel can, in

any event, be sold in a much improved position.

KEY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT TERMS

The full version of this analysis can be found in Schedule 2

but we below have highlighted the pertinent points from our

analysis.

If retaining the HMA, the onerous terms which the Bank

should consider renegotiating with the Operator are as

follows:

PERFORMANCE TESTS

We have concerns about the existing performance test.

That test provides that if in any two consecutive fiscal years

the GOP is less than:

85% of the budgeted GOP in any fiscal year from

the 4th fiscal year up to and including the 10th fiscal

year of the term; and

90% of the budgeted GOP in any fiscal year from

the 11th fiscal year onwards and including the end

of term;

then the Owner shall have the right to terminate the HMA by

notice, to be effective between 90 to 180 days afterwards.

A more effective test would be to compare the performance

of the Hotel against revenue (as fees (apart from the

Incentive Fee) are paid by reference to this) or the REVPAR

of the comparable hotels, at not less than 90% rate.

FEES

The Base Fee and Incentive Fee are both high compared to

the current market norm. In particular, the Incentive Fee of

12% of GOP is very high and a figure of 8% - 10% of GOP

or AGOP would be far more reasonable.

Page 16: Ad vantage report ksa

SAMPLE REPORT (POSSIBLE VARIATION IN FINAL REPORT) 15

OWNERS' PRIORITY

The HMA does not provide for any Owners' priority return or

for any deferral of the Operator's Incentive Fee. It would be

preferable for the Owner if the Operator's Incentive Fee was

subordinated to an agreed amount of debt service on the

Hotel.

EXCLUSIVITY

The HMA does not provide for any exclusivity or area of

protection for the benefit of the Owner. The Operator is

therefore free to operate other brand hotels within the vicinity

of the Hotel.

POTENTIAL BREACHES OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

[Identify any likely breaches of Hotel Management

Agreement and implications]

It is often the case that purported breaches of the HMA are

not clear-cut. Depending on the position of the Operator,

there is likely to be a risk in seeking to terminate the HMA

which may lead to a costly and time consuming legal

dispute. Once the relevant documentation have been

reviewed and considered, Al Tamimi & Company will be in a

position to advise in more detail as to the strength of the

Bank's position under the HMA and whether it is likely to be

cost and time effective to seek to terminate the HMA in the

context of the overall commercial position.

Alternatively, often allegations of mismanagement rely on

allegations of numerous failings. Therefore, Hotel Owner

should look to see whether there is a mechanism within the

HMA that enables it to terminate on the basis of such an

aggregation.

Hotel Owner should also be aware that if it decides to

terminate the HMA, it may face the threat of An Hotel

Company counterclaiming for damages, possibly equal to

the entire remaining term of the HMA.

If the Hotel Owner can demonstrate that An Hotel Company

has not delivered upon the obligations that were agreed

between the parties, the Hotel Owner may be able to bring a

claim against An Hotel Company for compensation based on

claims of mismanagement.

Page 17: Ad vantage report ksa

SAMPLE REPORT (POSSIBLE VARIATION IN FINAL REPORT) 16

POTENTIAL RIGHTS UNDER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

[Identify Hotel Owner’s/Bank’s Rights under HMA]

There are a number of concerns in relation to the

mismanagement of the Hotel such as to justify Hotel Owner

in exercising its right to inspect financial records. If a review

of those records will support an allegation of

mismanagement, we believe it is likely that it will be

appropriate to seek to renegotiate the terms of the HMA.

The first step, however, is to obtain copies of the relevant

records by exercising the contractual right of inspection.

The audit terms are standard form and allow the Owner to

inspect the relevant records on reasonable notice.

NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT

The Hotel is encumbered by a NDA but it would seem

unlikely that the NDA materially impacts upon the above

recommended strategy as it seems probable that, in a forced

sale scenario, the asset could be sold subject to the existing

HMA.

CONTRACTOR AND DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS

Not applicable.

EMPLOYEES

The employees in the Hotel are all employed by the Hotel

Owner, with the exception of the General Manager who is

employed by the Hotel Operator.

SAMPLE REPORT (POSSIBLE VARIATION IN FINAL REPORT) 17

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE (DSC) RATIO FORECAST

From the analysis of the hotel historic trading projections

we foresee the debt service coverage to be in line

with the minimum required by the bank.

A 10% fall in Average Room Rate it is likely to have a

6.1% negative impact on the EBITDA, consequently

bring the DSC ratio below the required 1.25X

In order to maintain a robust DSC ratio the hotel is

required to achieve a Gross Operating Profit

constant at 60%. Any shortfall in GOP will threaten

the compliance with the minimum DSC required by

the lender

DEBT ON EBITDA

The hotel debt finance position stands at 17x times

EBITDA which in our view is very risky

Assuming the hotel will implement the strategies

recommended in this report we envisage the total

debt to reach 13x times EBITDA by 2015

LOAN TO VALUE RATIO

Senior Debt-The current loan amount stands at 50% of

value

Mezzanine Debt- The current loan amount stand at 85%

of value

Junior Debt – The current loan amount stands at 70% of

value.

We have noticed an abnormal distribution of debts

which we would suggest to consolidate all in one

senior debt. The structure of the new debt needs to

reflect the forecasted trading projections in order to

provide overall debt service coverage supportable

by the property.
