Litigation

We are subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, regarding the operation of our hotels and company matters. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts covered by insurance will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against the Company, however, is subject to significant uncertainties.

Income Taxes

The Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort is owned by a subsidiary that has elected to be treated as a TRS, and is subject to U.S. Virgin Island (USVI) income taxes. We were party to a tax agreement with the USVI that reduced the income tax rate to approximately 7%. This agreement expired in February 2015. We are diligently working to extend this agreement, which, if extended, would relate back to the date of expiration, but we may not be successful. If the agreement is not extended, the TRS that owns Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort is subject to an income tax rate of 37.4%. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to the TRS that owns Frenchman’s Reef reflects the statutory tax rate of 37.4%. This expense will be reversed to an amount which reflects the lower rate if the tax agreement is extended.
