[1] On April 9, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the Hyatt Union Square hotel in New York, NY from Risingsam Union Square LLC.  Consideration given in exchange for the property included $36,000 paid in cash to the seller and our cancellation of a development loan receivable in the original principal amount of $10,000 and $3,303 of accrued interest on the loan.  In addition, we paid off the existing construction financing and entered into a new mortgage loan of $55,000. We recognized a net gain of approximately $12,108 on the purchase of the Hyatt Union Square hotel as the fair value of the assets acquired less any liabilities assumed exceeded the consideration transferred.
