Press Release: Janus Hotels and Resorts, Inc.
September 30, 2002
BOCA RATON, FL -- Janus Hotels and Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq:JAGI), a Florida-based hospitality company, announced
Friday that it has finalized the gain calculation related to the short-term refinancing of four hotel properties
which it owns in the vicinity of Cleveland, Ohio that was previously reported on August 7, 2002.
The Company previously estimated a pre-tax gain of approximately $6,816,000 as a result of this transaction. However,
the Company re-examined the accounting for the refinancing with The Provident Bank and the terms of the settlement
agreement with the original lender, LaSalle National Bank, as Trustee, which provided for the forgiveness of accrued
interest and late fees, net of certain closing and transaction costs, and identified errors, resulting in a recalculated
pre-tax gain of approximately $5,787,000, which will be reported in the third quarter of 2002. No currently payable
federal taxes result from this transaction as the Company has sufficient net operating losses to offset the gain.
The Company will announce its financial results for the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2002 on or prior
to November 14, 2002.
Janus Hotels and Resorts Inc. is engaged in the business of management and ownership of hospitality properties.
The Company currently owns thirteen hotels and manages thirty-eight hotels totaling approximately 9,000 rooms under
its management.
