Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported, on March 28, 2011, a subsidiary of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the “Company”) entered into an agreement to acquire the 235-room W Boston for $89.5 million from SW Boston Hotel Venture, LLC, an unaffiliated third party. At the time of entering into the agreement, the acquisition was subject to approval by a bankruptcy court, as well as customary closing requirements and conditions. On May 24, 2011, the bankruptcy court approved the acquisition. The Company expects to fund the purchase price entirely with available cash. The Company currently anticipates this transaction will close by June 30, 2011, however, because the acquisition remains subject to customary closing requirements and conditions, the Company can give no assurance that the transaction will be consummated during that time period or at all. This Current Report on Form 8-K includes the historical financial statements and pro forma financial information that will be required by Items 9.01(a) and (b) if the acquisition is consummated.

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Manager
The W Boston Hotel:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the W Boston Hotel (the Hotel) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, owner’s equity in Hotel, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from October 29, 2009 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Hotel’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Hotel’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the W Boston Hotel as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period from October 29, 2009 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the W Boston Hotel will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Hotel is collateral for a construction loan with a maturity date of January 15, 2011. The project developer defaulted on certain provisions of the construction loan, and on April 28, 2010, the project developer and certain of its affiliates filed for voluntary bankruptcy. The loan maturity and uncertainty surrounding the bankruptcy proceedings raise substantial doubt about the Hotel’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might results from the outcome of these uncertainties.

W BOSTON HOTEL
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
(1)   Description of Business
 
    The W Boston hotel is a full service 235-room hotel located at 100 Stuart Street, Boston, Massachusetts. SW Boston Hotel Venture, LLC (SW Boston), a Delaware limited liability company, developed the Hotel along with luxury condominium residences. The hotel occupies floors 1 to 15. Residential condominium units are located on floors 16 to 28. There is an underground parking garage and the Hotel includes a restaurant/bar and spa. The hotel, garage and residential condominium units are all elements of the 100 Stuart Street Primary Condominium (Primary Condominium). The Hotel (including the restaurant/bar and spa) represents the Commercial Unit and the garage is referred to as the Garage Unit. The master deed provides that the Commercial Unit and Garage Unit own undivided interests in the common elements of the Primary Condominium, such as the land parcel. Hereinafter, the Commercial and Garage Units are collectively referred to as the Hotel.
 
(2)   Basis of Accounting and Bankruptcy Proceeding
 
    Construction was financed with a construction loan (see note 3) and completed in 2009. The Hotel commenced operations on October 29, 2009. The Hotel, garage and residential condominium elements of the Primary Condominium collateralize the construction loan. The construction loan had a maturity date of January 15, 2011. The construction loan agreement required that Net Proceeds, as defined, from the sale of condominium units would be directed to the lender for the payment of principal and interest. Additionally, the construction loan agreement required Additional Mandatory Principal Payments, as defined, at specified dates in 2010. Proceeds from the sale of condominium residences were lower than anticipated and the initial mandatory loan repayment provisions during 2010 were not met. SW Boston defaulted on certain of the loan provisions; and on April 28, 2010, SW Boston and certain of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief pursuant to Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against SW Boston are stayed, and SW Boston has ongoing involvement with the project as a debtor and debtor-in-possession. The case is currently being administered by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts, Eastern Division.
 
    These financial statements present the carve-out balance sheets, statement of operations and cash flows of the Hotel, not of a legal entity. Hotel liabilities presented herein are not subject to compromise under the bankruptcy proceedings of SW Boston and affiliates.
 
    On March 28, 2011, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (Pebblebrook) executed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the Hotel for cash consideration of approximately $89.5 million. The purchase and sale agreement was approved by the bankruptcy court on May 24, 2011. Upon closing of the sale to Pebblebrook, the Hotel will be released from the bankruptcy proceedings. Closing is expected in June of 2011.
 
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Hotel will continue as a going concern. Because of the amount of the debt collateralized by the Hotel and the uncertainty surrounding the bankruptcy proceedings, there is substantial doubt as to the ability of the Hotel to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

W BOSTON HOTEL
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
    The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Hotel as of March 31, 2011 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. All amounts included in the notes to the financial statements referring to March 31, 2011, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, are unaudited. The accompanying financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
 
(3)   Summary of Accounting Policies
  (a)   Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
      Includes the Hotel’s operating cash accounts, which may include liquid temporary cash investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase which are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
  (b)   Restricted Cash
 
      Includes reserve accounts for replacement of furniture, fixture and equipment pursuant to provisions in the hotel management agreement.
 
  (c)   Hotel Real Estate
 
      Hotel real estate includes the Hotel’s undivided interest in the land parcel titled to the Primary Condominium, building and improvements, and hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment. Capitalized costs include all direct and indirect material and labor costs associated with the development of the project. Interest, property taxes and other similar costs were capitalized during the construction period.
 
      SW Boston owned the land parcel underlying the development. The carrying value of the land included in hotel real estate is equal to the development cost of the Hotel divided by total development cost of the property times the carrying value of the land.
 
      Building and improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of additions, alterations, and improvements is capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

W BOSTON HOTEL
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
      Building and improvements are depreciated over 40 years and hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over five years.
 
      Hotel real estate is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
 
      Hotel real estate was evaluated for impairment following the bankruptcy filing and impairment was indicated. The carrying value of the hotel real estate was reduced to the estimated fair value of the assets based on the purchase offer from Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, or $89.5 million.
 
  (d)   Revenue Recognition
 
      Hotel revenues are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other department revenues such as telephone and gift shop. Sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes are collected and presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) on our statements of operations.
 
  (e)   Accounts Receivable
 
      Accounts receivable, which primarily represent amounts due from Hotel guests, are presented net of allowances, which were not material at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
      Allowances for doubtful accounts were not material at March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
  (f)   Income Taxes
 
      The Hotel is not directly subject to federal, state or local income taxes. However the owner of the Hotel is a limited liability company and may be subject to certain income taxes and the members of the limited liability company are responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss on their respective income tax returns.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
(4)   Debt
      SW Boston financed the development and construction of the project with lending arrangements described below. The Hotel is not a legal entity, yet serves as collateral for two loans. Additionally, cash flows from the sale of the residential condominium units and the unsold condominium unit inventory secure the two loans.
 
      The provisions of the two loan agreements are disclosed for informational purposes. For purposes of the carve-out financial statements of the Hotel, no debt balances are allocated by SW Boston to the Hotel.
