The “Subordinated loans to companies owning hotels operated by the Group through leases” item includes a series of loans granted by the Group<br />
to companies which own hotels in countries such as Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain, and which are operated by<br />
the Group under a leasing agreement.<br />
These transactions, which are mainly aimed at refinancing and reducing rents, are currently being used for the Group’s growth. The main features of<br />
these agreements are as follows:<br />
- Hotel rents are not subject to evolution of the inflation rate or to that of any other index.<br />
- The above-mentioned subordinated loans accrue interest at a fixed rate of 3% per year (€2.21 million in <strong>2012</strong> and €1.89 million in the preceding<br />
year).<br />
- New rental agreements establish a purchase right on properties subject to agreements that, as a general rule, may be executed in the fifth, tenth<br />
and fifteenth year from the entry into force of the agreement.<br />
- The model used for these rental agreements has been analysed and independent experts consider them to be operating leases.<br />
The “Other collection rights” item reflects the claim filed against the insurance company that underwrote the ten-year building works insurance.<br />
The amount claimed corresponds to the repair works performed and yet to be carried out on a housing development belonging the subsidiary<br />
Sotogrande, S.A.<br />
The “Lease advance payments” item includes advance payments made to the owners of certain hotels operated under a rental scheme for the<br />
purchase of decoration and furniture; these are discounted from future rental payments.<br />
In addition, €17,428 thousand is booked as the balancing entry for the promissory notes provided to the owners of a number of leased hotels (see<br />
Note 18).<br />
