ITEM 4.02A    NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as Wyndham International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Wyndham”) was continuing to remediate internal controls over financial reporting previously disclosed in its December 31, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company identified an additional tax charge of $1.7 million related to 2004 and reconsidered other previously identified but deemed immaterial adjustments related primarily to accruals of unbilled legal and consulting fees aggregating $1.8 million related to 2004. The Company’s Audit Committee and management consider the charges to be immaterial to the Company’s financial position and the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. However, even though the adjustments are only 0.14% of the first quarter 2005 total assets, 0.15% of total liabilities, 2.5% of shareholders’ equity and 1.2% of the first quarter 2005 total revenues, the $3.5 million adjustments as a percentage of the first quarter 2005 loss from continuing operations of $48,000 are significant. As a result, on May 11, 2005 it was determined that the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 should no longer be relied upon.

 

The restatement resulted in the Company adjusting its previously reported 2004 net loss of $509.5 million ($4.01 per share) to net loss of $512.9 million ($4.03 per share). The nature and impact of these adjustments are described below.

 

Income Taxes

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as the Company was continuing to remediate internal controls over income tax accounting previously disclosed in its December 31, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10K, the Company identified an additional tax charge of $1.7 million related to 2004. The charge increased the other accrued expenses liability, increased the accumulated deficit in shareholders’ equity and decreased total shareholders’ equity by $1.7 million. The charge increased the income tax provision thus resulting in increased loss from continuing operations and net loss by $1.7 million ($(0.01) per share).

 

Other Adjustments

 

Other accounting adjustments relate primarily to accruals of unbilled legal and consulting fees aggregating $1.8 million previously identified but deemed immaterial and recorded in a subsequent period. The impact of these adjustments was an increase in net loss of $1.8 million ($(0.01) per share) in 2004.
