August delivered on both sides of the ledger
Hotel revenue of $63,567 came in 22.4% above plan while operating expenses ran
only 7.9% over — against 22.2% over in June. The result is NOI of $21,954, or 164% of
the operating plan, and an NOI margin back above a third at 34.5%. Occupancy of 64.7%
is 11 points ahead of June and the second-best month of 2026.
Debt service is now the whole story
Interest expense of $24,026 — 37.8% of revenue — exceeded operating profit
again, producing a net loss of $2,071 on an otherwise strong month. Total debt rose to
$4.46 million in August as the LaBella building was completed and placed in
service, funded by a new $787,500 term loan. Interest will step up further in September as a
full month of that facility is carried.
Highlights & Priorities
LaBella is complete and on the balance sheetConstruction in progress went to zero during August as the LaBella building
was placed in service, moving $879,000 into fixed assets. Land was recognised separately for
the first time ($234,000 across the site). The project was funded by a new $787,500
term loan, which together with continued line-of-credit draws lifted total debt to
$4.46 million. The asset base grew accordingly, to $5.11 million.
Refinancing the construction facility is the single largest leverAt 37.8% of revenue, interest is what stands between positive operating
performance and a positive bottom line. $2.71 million of the $4.46 million stack is still
construction-period line of credit. Converting it to permanent debt remains the priority and
is now more material than it was a quarter ago.
Occupancy strategy is working; rate is the tradeOccupancy has held in the mid-60s for two consecutive months after a soft
spring, and extended stay is now a durable second revenue channel. ADR continues to
compress as longer stays book at lower nightly rates. RevPAR of $45.04 is ahead of June but
below July, so pricing work continues to focus on whether the blend improves overall yield
rather than simply trading rate for volume.
Retail will not contribute income in 2026The Smoothie King white-box buildout is close to complete, but its rent
abatement period runs for several months from delivery, so no retail rent lands in 2026. The
second-floor space previously carried as retail is being converted to 12 additional
rental units — a change of use, not a delay. Negotiations continue with a pilates
studio and other complementary businesses for the remaining ground-floor space. The FY26
budget's retail line has been removed from variance reporting rather than deferred.
Cost base is stabilisingOperating expenses of $41,613 were the lowest since April and 16% below
June. Management fee, guest communications and room supplies all came in under budget.
Utilities and housekeeping remain above a budget set before the third building opened; those
lines are being re-based rather than treated as overruns.

Room-night share has been steady at 93 nights for two months. Accounting
revenue for extended stay is higher than the PMS figure because contracted long-stay revenue
is recognised on an accrual basis ahead of receipt.
Income Statement — August 2026
Accrual basis, from the FY26 Budget vs Actuals report. Budget figures reflect the
re-based FY26 plan: ground-floor retail rent has been removed, since those spaces are in
buildout and are not expected to generate income this year. Capital-raise legal and professional
costs are reported below the NOI line as non-operating — August carried none.

The best operating month since April
Revenue beat plan by 22.4% and NOI came in at 164% of the operating plan — the widest favourable
NOI variance of 2026 other than February. NOI margin of 34.5% compares with 22.6% in June and a
41.9% year-to-date average. Operating expenses of $41,613 were the lowest since April.
Why a strong operating month still shows a net loss
Interest expense of $24,026 exceeded NOI of $21,954. This is a capital-structure outcome, not an
operating one: the property carries $2.71 million of construction-period line of credit within a
$4.46 million debt stack, and took on a further $787,500 term loan in August to complete the
LaBella building. The gap between operating profit and net result narrows as that construction
financing converts to permanent debt.

Room turn is above budget because host channel commissions follow the

Read the August channel mix with care
Booking.com revenue for several prior months was recorded within Standard Stay and was
reallocated to its own account during August. The $29,100 shown is a catch-up
reclassification, not a single month of Booking.com production, and Standard Stay is
correspondingly understated for the month. Total revenue is unaffected in August and in every
prior period. The two channels carry different tax treatment, which is why the split was
completed. Channel mix returns to a normal monthly basis from September.
Extended Stay — the durable trend
Extended stay revenue
$16,834
Level with July and 4.6× the June
figure. Extended stay has become a consistent second revenue channel rather than an
occasional one, which is the stated strategy.
Host channel commissions
9.6%
Above the 5.5–7.5% target band,
following the same reclassification — commissions on the reallocated Booking.com revenue
posted alongside it. Expected to return to band in September.
Revenue & NOI — 2026 Year to Date
May 2026 NOI reflects a $154,065 fund-syndication legal charge reported below the
NOI line per sponsor policy, consistent with all other periods shown.
Occupancy · ADR · RevPAR — Trailing 14 Months
Room inventory expanded in January 2026 with the third building — available
room-nights moved from roughly 930–960 per month to 1,290–1,333. RevPAR is the preferred
year-over-year comparison because it normalises for that expansion.

August was a capital event, not a routine month
The LaBella building was completed and placed in service. Construction in progress went to zero
as $879,000 moved into fixed assets, and land was recognised separately for the first time
($234,000). The work was funded by a new $787,500 term loan alongside continued
line-of-credit draws. Total assets rose to $5.11 million and total debt to $4.46 million.
Cash of $218,974 is nearly double
June's position, but the increase is financed rather than earned — it sits largely in the
construction account and is matched by the new borrowing.

What We Are Focused On
Convert construction financing to permanent debtInterest at 37.8% of revenue is the dominant driver of the monthly net
result. $2.71 million of the stack carries construction-period pricing. With LaBella now
complete and income-producing capacity added, the refinancing case is stronger than it was
at mid-year.
Bring the new capacity onlineLaBella is placed in service and the second floor is being built out as 12
additional rental units. The use is still being decided between hotel inventory and
long-term rental. This is the largest near-term addition to revenue capacity and replaces
retail income that will not materialise in 2026.
Re-base the cost budget to the three-building footprintUtilities and housekeeping continue to run above budgets set before the
third building opened and at lower occupancy. Re-basing gives cleaner variance reporting,
alongside thermostat automation now reducing consumption in unoccupied rooms and seasonal
relief expected from October.
Stabilise blended rate as extended stay growsExtended stay is building occupancy durability. Pricing work is making sure
the blend improves RevPAR rather than trading rate for volume, particularly as ADR has
declined for three consecutive months.
