INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Members
of Hotel Yountville, LLC

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hotel Yountville, LLC, which comprise the balance sheets as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of income, changes in members' interest, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hotel Yountville, LLC as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HOTEL YOUNTVILLE, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015



1. Organization and Description of the Business

Hotel Yountville, LLC (the "Company"), formerly known as Yountville Inn, LLC, was formed in October 1997 for the purpose of developing, owning and operating an inn on real property located at 6462 Washington Street in Yountville, California. The hotel opened to the public in June of 1998, and offers lodging accommodations and conference facilities.

The Company has been organized as a limited liability company. Under this form of organization, the members are not liable for the debts of the Company. The latest date on which the Company is to dissolve is June 27, 2067.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded based on the Company's historical collection history. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, management believes that no reserve is considered necessary.

Supplies on Hand

Supplies on hand consist of food and beverage inventory, and hotel supplies, such as room amenities, dining ware, and bathroom and bedding supplies. Supplies on hand are valued at cost, and at each balance sheet date the Company performs a physical count and adjusts its carrying balance to reflect the physical count.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes room sales and revenue from guest services when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered. Revenues for the spa and restaurant are recognized as services have been rendered.

Sales and Occupancy Taxes

At times the Company collects various taxes from guests and remits those amounts to applicable taxing authorities. The Company's policy is to exclude these taxes from revenues and cost of sales. The taxes assessed are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until remitted to the various tax agencies.

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," which established a "primary asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Through the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.

HOTEL YOUNTVILLE, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015



Property and Equipment

The real property on which the inn was constructed was the initial capital contribution of Altamura Family, LLC. As specified in the Hotel Yountville Operating Agreement, the aforementioned real property, together with all development rights, permits, and other documents required to complete construction of the inn, was valued at $5,000,000.

The basis of the land acquired in 1997 has been calculated as follows:

Total value of property
$
5,000,000

Less costs allocated to the building (architect fees, building permits, etc.)
(273,036
)
Property tax paid during construction period
1,362

Net basis of land
$
4,728,326


Additional land, building improvements and personal property acquired after the hotel was constructed are recorded at cost (see Note 7 regarding subsequent events). Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Building and improvements
10 - 40 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 - 25 years

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Expansion

In 2006, Hotel Yountville, LLC and the owner of the adjacent property, Gateway Mobile Home Park, LLC (see Note 5 regarding related parties) entered into a development agreement with the Town of Yountville in which the parcels on which the Company's facilities are located were reconfigured and the following actions occurred.

1.
Hotel Yountville expanded its facilities to include 32 additional rooms,

2.
Gateway Mobile Home Park reconstructed its pool and recreation buildings (see Note 3), and

3.
The Town of Yountville was allowed an easement across the Gateway property in the form of a pathway for pedestrian access plus it constructed 25 permanently available workforce housing units.

In connection with the expansion plans, the Company amended and restated its operating agreement. One of the members, The Doctors Company, contributed approximately $21,327,000 to the Company in return for a preferred distribution that is calculated based on the amount contributed multiplied by an interest rate as set forth in the amended and restated operating agreement. The other member, Altamura Family LLC, will also receive a preferred distribution equal to one-ninth (1/9) of the preferred distribution allocated to The Doctors Company. The members will also receive a preferred distribution of available cash upon the sale or refinancing of the property based on the same allocation.

Advance Deposits

The Company requires certain guests and groups who make reservations with the inn to make deposits in advance of their stay. These deposits are recorded at the time the cash is received and the revenue is deferred on these deposits until the guests stay at the inn. The advance deposit balance was $1,570,381 and $1,737,252 at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

HOTEL YOUNTVILLE, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015



Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and does not pay federal income tax. The Member reports the Company's taxable income on its tax returns. The Company is, however, subject to a California limited liability company fee based on total revenues.

Management of the Company has evaluated all tax positions taken and has concluded that as of September 30, 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements.

Allocation of Income

Income is first allocated based on the preferred distribution with the remainder being allocated 50% to the Doctors Company and 50% to Altamura Family, LLC.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $99,229 and $90,153 for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The profitability of the Company is dependent upon its ability to maintain both its guest room rates and certain occupancy levels. The Company's failure to maintain its guest room rates and sufficient occupancy levels could adversely affect the results of its operations.

Reclassifications

Guaranteed payments to members have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to the current-year presentation, with guaranteed payments to members included in member distributions. Net income and distributions in the prior year increased by $1,136,904 as a result of this reclassification.

HOTEL YOUNTVILLE, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2016, SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND DECEMBER 31, 2015
(unaudited)


1. Organization and Description of the Business

Hotel Yountville, LLC (the "Company"), formerly known as Yountville Inn, LLC, was formed in October 1997 for the purpose of developing, owning and operating an inn on real property located at 6462 Washington Street in Yountville, California. The hotel opened to the public in June of 1998, and offers lodging accommodations and conference facilities.

The Company has been organized as a limited liability company. Under this form of organization, the members are not liable for the debts of the Company. The latest date on which the Company is to dissolve is June 27, 2067.

For the period from inception through December 29, 2016, Hotel Yountville, LLC was owned 50% by The Doctors Company ("TDC") and 50% by Altamura Family, LLC ("Family"). Family is owned by the manager of the hotel, George Altamura Jr., and members of his family (see Note 5 regarding change in ownership).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded based on the Company's historical collection history. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, management believes that no reserve is considered necessary.

Supplies on Hand

Supplies on hand consist of food and beverage inventory, and hotel supplies, such as room amenities, dining ware, and bathroom and bedding supplies. Supplies on hand are valued at cost, and at each balance sheet date the Company performs a physical count and adjusts its carrying balance to reflect the physical count.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes room sales and revenue from guest services when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered. Revenues for the spa and restaurant are recognized as services have been rendered.

Sales and Occupancy Taxes

At times the Company collects various taxes from guests and remits those amounts to applicable taxing authorities. The Company's policy is to exclude these taxes from revenues and cost of sales. The taxes assessed are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until remitted to the various tax agencies.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," which established a "primary asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.

Property and Equipment

The real property on which the inn was constructed was the initial capital contribution of Altamura Family, LLC. As specified in the Hotel Yountville Operating Agreement, the aforementioned real property, together with all development rights, permits, and other documents required to complete construction of the inn, was valued at $5,000,000.

The basis of the land acquired in 1997 has been calculated as follows:

Total value of property
$
5,000,000

Less costs allocated to the building (architect fees, building permits, etc.)

(273,036
)
Property tax paid during construction period
1,362

 
 
Net basis of land
$
4,728,326


Additional land, building improvements and personal property acquired after the hotel was constructed are recorded at cost (see Note 5 regarding distribution of real property and Note 7 regarding subsequent events). Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Building and improvements
10 - 40 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 - 25 years

Expansion

In 2006, Hotel Yountville, LLC and the owner of the adjacent property, Gateway Mobile Home Park, LLC (see Note 5 regarding related parties) entered into a development agreement with the Town of Yountville in which the parcels on which the Company's facilities are located were reconfigured and the following actions occurred.

1.
Hotel Yountville expanded its facilities to include 32 additional rooms,

2.
Gateway Mobile Home Park reconstructed its pool and recreation buildings, and

3.
The Town of Yountville was allowed an easement across the Gateway property in the form of a pathway for pedestrian access plus it constructed 25 permanently available workforce housing units.

In connection with the expansion plans, the Company amended and restated its operating agreement. One of the members, The Doctors Company, contributed approximately $21,327,000 to the Company in return for a preferred distribution that is calculated based on the amount contributed multiplied by an interest rate as set forth in the amended and restated operating agreement. The other member, Altamura Family LLC, will also receive a preferred distribution equal to one-ninth (1/9) of the preferred distribution allocated to The Doctors Company. As a result of the distribution of property and change of ownership, these capital contributions were converted to notes payable and the preferred distribution of available cash at the time of closing of the sale of the property is to first be utilized to repay these notes payable (see Note 5 regarding notes payable to TDC and Family and Note 7 regarding subsequent events).

Advance Deposits

The Company requires certain guests and groups who make reservations with the inn to make deposits in advance of their stay. These deposits are recorded at the time the cash is received and the revenue is deferred on these deposits until the guests stay at the inn. The advance deposit balance was $1,225,588 and $1,570,381 at December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and does not pay federal income tax. The Member reports the Company's taxable income on its tax returns. The Company is, however, subject to a California limited liability company fee based on total revenues.

Management of the Company has evaluated all tax positions taken and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements.

Allocation of Income

Income is first allocated based on the preferred distribution with the remainder being allocated 50% to the Doctors Company and 50% to Altamura Family, LLC (see Note 5 regarding change in ownership).

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $18,191 and $34,096 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The profitability of the Company is dependent upon its ability to maintain both its guest room rates and certain occupancy levels. The Company's failure to maintain its guest room rates and sufficient occupancy levels could adversely affect the results of its operations.

Distribution of Real Property and Change in Ownership

The Company entered into a Real Property Distribution Agreement effective December 29, 2016 to distribute all of the Company's real property to TDC and Family in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The total net book value of the real property at the date of the distribution was $20,509,608. During 2014, TDC created Hotel Yountville Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), and George Altamura Jr., the manager of the Company, created George Altamura, Jr., LLC ("GAJR). As an accommodation to TDC and Family, the above distribution of real property was made directly to the related entities as follows: TDC's 50% distribution was transferred from the Company to Holdings, and 22% out of Family's remaining 50% was transferred to GAJR. Holdings, Family, and GAJR hold title to the real property as tenants in common under a co-tenancy agreement.

Concurrent with the real property distribution on December 29, 2016, the members of the Company assigned their respective interests in the Company whereby the ownership became 50% Holdings, 28% Family and 22% GAJR.

The Company retained ownership of all personal property and other tangible and intangible assets, and will continue to operate the hotel and pay rent at $200,000 per month, payable quarterly, under a lease agreement with the above co-tenants. The lease commenced on December 29, 2016 and terminated on May 11, 2017, the date of closing of the sale of the property (see Note 7 regarding subsequent events).
