    2.2 The 3 Business Models

    Operator Owned Hotels (less than 5%) Flagship hotels that Hotel Operators (e.g. IHG) own and manage (e.g. Intercontinental Hong Kong)

    All cash management / back office management are run by operators

    Highly capital intensive for Operators

    Operator Managed Hotels (10-15%) Owned by 3rd party owners separate from the operator or potentially joint ventures with a local player

    Typical owner profile can vary from large property developer to individual entrepreneur/owner/group of investors

    Operators typically provide management including the General Manager, Financial Controller, and other back office processes such asa finance team and other hotel management expertise while the owners provide the capital funding and local operating expertise andknowledge

    Franchised Hotels (85-90%) Owned by 3rd party owners separate from the operator

    Independently operated via certain rules and guidelines stipulated in franchise agreement

    Operator provides brand and access to international reservation system, which can generate up to 1/3 of all bookings revenue for thefranchised hotel

    Franchisees own and operate on their own with little interference from operators

    Fundamentally, the operating model in a cash management context is sound and runs fairly smoothly, especially at the Hotel

    Operator level where sophisticated cash management techniques are engaged including cash pooling arrangements with banks,

    internal house bank for FX management and leading/lagging and other netting techniques are employed globally

    3.1 Major Market Trends

    WHATS POSITIVE

    Across the industry 1 million additional rooms

    required by 2012.

    Hotel operators divesting in owned hotels and

    focusing on growth through franchises and

    management fees

    New markets travelling e.g. China, Russia, Macau:

    China to grow into biggest in-bound traveltraffic in the next 10 to 15 years whileoutbound trips will grow tenfold in the next10 years (from 10 million to 100 million)

    Gaming revenues in Macau continue togrow rapidly, posting a 52% growth rateduring the eight months ended August 2008

    Branded hotels growing at three times the pace of

    non-branded hotels while bargain hunters go downvalue chain to look for lower tier hotels

    Growth in internet usage is making travel more

    accessible

    WHATS CHALLENGING

    Global recession to hit vacation travel demand hard

    and many pipeline projects on hold as supply is

    being reared in due to slowdown in demand globally

    Tightening credit environment will hamper hotelgrowth plans as capital markets dry up

    From perspective of hotel operators, franchise and

    management contracts with real estate / propertyowners may become less favourable as operatorswill need to compete for equity capital from hotelowners

    Trademark protection an issue in countries with lessdeveloped legal system (e.g. China, India)

    The Chinese government tightening visa restrictionsin recent months, which threatens to stifle the rapidgrowth in Macau.

    Increasing use of third party online reservationchannels will put pressure on hotel bottom line

    3.4 Opportunity Focus Operator Owned Hotels

    From a corporate banking opportunity perspective, it is in our opinion that the majority of ouropportunity will come from Operator-owned Hotels, although they account for a relatively lowpercentage of the total hotels in operation (~5%)

    Managed hotels are typically owned by property developers who have strong existing bankingrelationship on a group/company level, which would not be the most effective point of entrance

    Franchised hotels are typically locally owned, with strong relationships with local bankers whichhave likely provided the financing to build the hotel initially, and breaking into this relationship would beextremely difficult, given the operators limited ability to influence Franchisees bank of choice

    Around 90% of franchised hotels are single-owner owned, and at onset it may seem there could bea quick win opportunity in providing a simple packaged product (such as core cash), the amount of effortand investment in educating this subset would likely significantly reduce the attractiveness of thisopportunity, without consideration into the difficulties of breaking into these relationships for abovementioned reasons and franchisee owners have 100% veto towards which banks they choose as theiroperating bank

    Additionally, many managed hotels hold accounts jointly with their Operator, where the Operator, withincertain limits, is able to draw out funding for fees owed in the form of franchising and overhead fees, sothis could be a good relationship entry point

    4.1 Banking Requirements

    BANKING

    APPROACH

    Global overlay bank with regional bank coverage and local banks to fill in the gaps

    As hotel operators run finances very centrally, payments and receipts are both fairly straightforward

    Number of transactions (e.g. incoming and outgoing TT) could be quite large in volume (e.g. with

    the 4000 hotels of IHG, at minimum one transfer per month or more for the different fees assessed)

    For the daily revenue feeds from managed/franchised hotels, all transactions are routed through

    back office accounting system that routes daily revenue feeds to H.O., which needs to reconcile this

    data on a monthly basis to incoming electronic payments. These processes are typically outsourced

    to shared service centers

    Payments:

    Tax authorities (LCY)

    Dividend payments mostly

    USD/EUR)

    Limited vendor payments (LCY)

    Payroll (LCY)

    Other overhead payments (LCY)

    Collections

    Managed and Franchised Hotels:

    Franchise fees (mostly USD/EUR)

    Systems fee (mostly USD/EUR)

    Royalties (mostly USD/EUR)

    Daily Revenue feeds (mostly USD/EUR)

    4.1 Banking Requirements (contd)

    Further study: Operators and Owners Dynamics

    Certain levels of bureaucracy and distrust exist between the Hotel Operators and Owners dueto the differing agendas and conflicts of interest

    Operators have limited access to draw out fees from the Hotel owners operating accounts.

    However this process is not always completely well defined. In many cases Owners will

    defund the account to prevent this (this may have been a JV structure employed in China)

    At the owners level:

    There exist many layers of authorizations required before a payment is processed. For

    example, an invoice coming through for a payment, managed hotel finance staff and

    financial controller will approve it but then evaluation and approval is needed again from

    the operator

    Inconsistent payment tools utilised (paper / cheques are very prevalent)

    PAYMENTS

    &

    COLLECTIONS

    This is extremely important for hotels and the hotel industry as over 90% of customer receipts is in

    credit card payments. From a hotel operators perspective, a good proposition needs to be provided

    for their franchisees and managed hotels

    The speed of the POS (point of sales) Service device is not essential for hotels as there arenumerous administrative steps occur concurrently while the hotel staff is dealing with payment

    arrangements

    FOREX at reasonable rates is important as hotel guests bear the cost of the exchange

    Pre-authorisation of credit cards artificially draw hotel guests credit card limit to ensure payment

    when the guest checks out. It can take up to a month to uplift the limit earmark due to batch

    processing of these offline payments

    4.1 Banking Requirements (contd)

    GLOBAL LIQUIDITY STRUCTURE

    Global hotel operators and large regional players control funding very centrally

    IHG as an example, has already achieved full visibility of its cash flows, and has the cash pooling

    and concentration structures in place across Europe, US, and Asia to achieve near same day value

    for most funds

    Global operators are able to do this because they manage very few hotels world wide, and most

    franchising fees are conducted in USD and other freely tradable currencies and are received as

    incoming telegraphic transfers as opposed to drawing money out of an entity which brings forth

    many taxation and other regulatory issues Fundamentally, a liquidity management solution with Head Office multi-currency accounts sitting in

    a friendly domiciled location for pooling / cash con would be fairly effective for most hotel operators,

    although further analysis of each hotel operator should be conducted at a more bespoken level

    DOMESTIC LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

    If hotel is new, typically cash hotel is cash strapped as it is funding debt repayments from initially

    building of the hotel, so first few years of liquidity management will be aimed towards lowering costof debt, which a simple cash concentration structure can provide

    As hotel pays off its debts, and becomes more cash rich, focus changes to repatriation of funds to

    owner, or to actively manage and ensure operating funds are making a return
