DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 28, 2017, we sold our two Sedona hotels in a combined cash transaction to DiamondRock Hospitality Company (“DiamondRock”) for $97.0 million resulting in a gain on sale of $6.8 million (net of selling costs). While the Company was not actively seeking to dispose of these assets and has pursued, and will continue to pursue, other potential hospitality investments to expand its hospitality footprint as part of its on-going business strategy, this sale resulted from an unsolicited offer received from a third party. In considering the offer, the Company determined that the price point was favorable to the Company based on review of available market data and elected to proceed with the transaction.

Simultaneous with the sale, DiamondRock engaged the Company to serve as property manager of the hotels for an initial term of five years, subject to standard industry terms. Other than carrying out our responsibilities under the terms of the management agreement, and our obligation to fund certain deferred maintenance items identified at closing for which an accrual has been made, the Company has no continuing involvement in major decisions as it relates to the hotels’ continuing operations. In connection with the sale, the buyer assumed certain related capital lease obligations. The Sedona hotels were reclassified to REO held for sale from operating properties in February 2017.

In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations, a component of an entity is reported in discontinued operations after meeting the criteria for held for sale classification if the disposition represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. While the Company intends to continue to remain active in the hospitality industry through continued management of the two hotels located in Sedona, Arizona (“Sedona hotels”), the pursuit of additional hotels to manage, and the active pursuit of hospitality acquisition opportunities, the Company determined that the disposal of the Sedona hotels is required to be treated as discontinued operations accounting presentation under GAAP. As such, the historical financial results of the Sedona hotels and the related income tax effects have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented of the disposal group and is reported in the balance sheet as assets of discontinued operations, liabilities of discontinued operations and net income (loss) of discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations through the date of sale (February 28, 2017).
