MHI HOSPITALITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own primarily full-service upper-upscale and upscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern United States. The hotels operate under well-known national hotel brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton and Holiday Inn.

The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (the “initial properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, MHI Hospitality, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company also owns a 25.0% non-controlling interest in the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort through a joint venture with CRP/MHI Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of both Carlyle Realty Partners V, L.P. and The Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”).

For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which, at March 31, 2011, was approximately 74.1% owned by the Company, leases its hotels to a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages a hotel management company, MHI Hotels Services, LLC (“MHI Hotels Services”), to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

Significant transactions occurring during the current and prior fiscal year include the following:

On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to its credit agreement to address the sufficiency of the borrowing base. The amendment revises the methodology used to value the Company’s existing hotel properties in the borrowing base and modifies certain other aspects of the credit agreement, as amended, including fixing the interest rate spread for the variable LIBOR-based interest rate at 4.00% and a minimum LIBOR of 0.75%. The amendment converts the facility to non-revolving, eliminates the Company’s ability to re-borrow principal paid in the future and establishes minimum repayments equal to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the agreement, payable quarterly. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company is required to fund reserves for insurance and real estate taxes as well as a reserve for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment equal to 3.0% of gross room revenues. The amendment also modifies the fixed charge covenant, eliminates the leverage covenant, places limits on capital expenditures and requires prepayments from a portion of the proceeds of future equity offerings of up to $21.7 million. In the event that the Company makes prepayments totaling $21.7 million, the excess cash flow prepayment requirement will terminate. The amendment allows the Company to pay additional dividends in any fiscal quarter, subject to the existing cap of 90% of the prior year’s funds from operations (“FFO”) provided certain liquidity thresholds and other conditions are met. The amendment provides for a contingent extension of the maturity date for one year to May 2012, provided that certain valuation and other criteria are met, including payment of an extension fee and an extension or refinancing of the Jacksonville mortgage.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of MHI Hospitality Corporation, the Operating Partnership, MHI TRS and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties include investments in operating properties which are recorded at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures under a renovation project, which constitute additions or improvements that extend the life of the property, are capitalized.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 7 to 39 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.

The Company reviews its investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions

and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized.

Investment in Joint Venture – Investment in joint venture represents the Company’s non-controlling indirect 25.0% equity interest in (i) the entity that owns the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort; (ii) the entity that leases the hotel and has engaged MHI Hotels Services to operate the hotel under a management contract; (iii) the entity that entered into a lease agreement upon closing of the hotel acquisition with respect to the adjacent three-acre site on which is located a parking garage that is utilized by the hotel; and (iv) the entity that owned the junior participation in the existing mortgage. Carlyle owns a 75.0% controlling indirect interest in all these entities. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting and is entitled to receive its pro rata share of annual cash flow. The Company also has the opportunity to earn an incentive participation in net sale proceeds based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition to its pro rata share of net sale proceeds.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk – The Company holds cash accounts at several institutions in excess of the FDIC protection limits of $250,000. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of the failure of these institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC protection limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors, on a regular basis, the financial condition of the financial institutions along with the balances there on deposit to minimize the Company’s potential risk.

Restricted Cash – Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows, insurance escrows and reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment pursuant to certain requirements in the Company’s various mortgage agreements and line of credit.

Inventories – Inventories which consist primarily of food and beverage are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a method that approximates first-in, first-out basis.

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The un-amortized franchise fees as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $319,415 and $331,002, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $11,587 and $12,187, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs – Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Instruments – The Company’s derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as an interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings.

The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses an interest-rate swap as part of its interest-rate risk management strategy. The interest-rate swap is required under its credit agreement and acts as a cash flow hedge involving the receipts of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying $30.0 million principal amount. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the credit facility. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest-rate swap agreement had an estimated fair value of $(22,612) and $(72,649), respectively, and is included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

Table of Contents

The Company values its interest-rate swap at fair value, which it defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or
		Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
		Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3		Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s interest-rate swap liability is valued by discounting expected future cash flows based on quoted prices for forward interest-rate contracts. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2.

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties have been acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners’ pro rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Company’s common stock; and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership multiplied by the limited partners’ ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company’s common stock through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, parking, gift shop sales, and rentals from restaurant tenants, rooftop leases and gift shop operators.

Occupancy and Other Taxes – Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of its net income that does not relate to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, which leases the Company’s hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has no uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Company recognizes obligations for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense. The period from December 21, 2004 through December 31, 2010 remains open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Stock-based Compensation – The Company’s 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, restricted (non-vested) stock and performance stock compensation awards to its employees for up to 350,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders.

Under the Plan, the Company has made restricted stock and deferred stock awards totaling 215,938 shares including 171,938 shares issued to certain executives and employees, and 44,000 restricted shares issued to its directors. Of the 171,938 shares issued to certain of the Company’s executives and employees, all have vested except 21,000 shares issued to the Vice President and General Counsel upon execution of his employment contract which will vest in equal amounts of 7,000 shares on each anniversary of the effective date of his employment agreement over a three-year period. Regarding the restricted shares awarded to the Company’s directors, all of the shares have vested except 12,000 shares which vest at the end of 2011.

The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. Under the Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. As of March 31, 2011, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Consequently, stock-based compensation as determined under the fair-value method would be the same under the intrinsic-value

method. Compensation cost recognized under the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $13,168 and $42,428, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss).

Segment Information – The Company has determined that its business is conducted in one reportable segment, hotel ownership.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – There are no recent accounting pronouncements which the Company believes will have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. Acquisition of Hotel Properties

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $4.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of which, approximately $4.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, are due to accumulated net operating losses.

Table of Contents

These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2024 if not utilized by then. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $0.4 million of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to the Company’s share of start-up expenses related to the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, start-up expenses related to the opening of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore that were not deductible in the year incurred, but are being amortized over 15 years. The remainder of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to year-to-year timing differences including accrued, but not deductible, employee performance awards, vacation and sick pay, bad debt allowance and depreciation. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and that no valuation allowance is required.

12. Earnings per Share

The limited partners’ outstanding limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (which may be redeemed for common stock upon notice from the limited partners and following the Company’s election to redeem the units for stock rather than cash) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners’ share of income would also be added back to net income. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below.

Note Agreement – On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into a Note Agreement (the “Note Agreement”) with Essex Equity High Income Joint Investment Vehicle, LLC, as a lender (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to borrow up to $10,000,000 (the “Bridge Financing”). The principal amount borrowed under the Note Agreement will bear interest at the rate of 9.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The Bridge Financing will mature on the fourth anniversary of the Note Agreement or, if earlier, upon the redemption in full of the Preferred Stock. The Bridge Financing may be prepaid at the Company’s option in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Further, the Company is obligated to make prepayments in the event, and to the extent of the proceeds from, new equity issuances, certain debt incurrences and sales of assets which do not secure the Company’s obligations under the Company’s credit agreement and to repay the Bridge Financing in full following certain trigger events which also give rise to an obligation to redeem the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Note Agreement provides for certain future securities pledges and/or asset liens to be granted from time to time to the Lender to secure the Bridge Financing, under the circumstances and upon the conditions set forth in the Note Agreement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Bridge Financing to (i) facilitate the refinancing of the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront Property and the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, if necessary; (ii) pay its transaction fees and expenses in respect of the Bridge Financing, the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and Warrant and the sixth amendment to the Company’s credit agreement; and (iii) finance ongoing working capital and general corporate needs of the Company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a self-managed and self-administered REIT incorporated in Maryland in August 2004 to pursue opportunities primarily in the full-service upper-upscale and upscale segments of the hotel industry located in primary and secondary markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern United States. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and thereafter consummated the acquisition of the initial properties.

Our hotel portfolio currently consists of ten full-service, upper-upscale and upscale hotels with 2,421 rooms, which operate under well-known brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton and Holiday Inn. Nine of these hotels, totaling 2,110 rooms, are 100% owned by subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership. We also own a 25.0% indirect non-controlling interest in the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort through a joint venture with Carlyle and we have leasehold interests in a resort condominium facility in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. As of March 31, 2011, we owned the following hotel properties:

We conduct substantially all our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, and we own an approximate 74.1% interest in our Operating Partnership, with the remaining interest being held by the contributors of our initial properties as limited partners.

To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate hotels. Therefore, our Operating Partnership leases our wholly-owned hotel properties to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, our TRS Lessee, which then engages a hotel management company to operate the hotels under a management contract. Our TRS Lessee has engaged MHI Hotels Services to manage our hotels. Our TRS Lessee, and its parent, MHI

Key Operating Metrics

In the hotel industry, most categories of operating costs, with the exception of franchise, management, credit card fees and the costs of the food and beverage served, do not vary directly with revenues. This aspect of our operating costs creates operating leverage, whereby changes in sales volume disproportionately impact operating results. Room revenue is the most important category of revenue and drives other revenue categories such as food, beverage and telephone. There are three key performance indicators used in the hotel industry to measure room revenues:

 

•

Occupancy, or the number of rooms sold, usually expressed as a percentage of total rooms available;

 

•

Average daily rate or ADR, which is total room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold; and

 

•

Revenue per available room or RevPAR, which is total room revenue divided by the total number of available rooms.

Results of Operations

The following table illustrates the actual key operating metrics for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 for the properties we wholly-owned during each respective reporting period.

 

		Three months ended March 31, 2011				Three months ended March 31, 2010
Occupancy %			63.1%				62.7%
ADR		$	107.72			$	101.65
RevPAR		$	67.95			$	63.69

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $1.0 million or 5.8% to approximately $18.5 million compared to total revenue of approximately $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Increases in revenue at our Tampa, Florida, Wilmington, North Carolina, Jeffersonville, Indiana and Hampton, Virginia properties offset declines in revenue at our Savannah, Georgia and Laurel, Maryland properties.

Room revenue increased approximately $0.8 million or 6.7% to approximately $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to room revenue of approximately $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in room revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 resulted from a 6.0% increase in ADR and a 0.7% increase in occupancy as compared to the same period in 2010. Room revenue increased at all our properties with the exception of our property in Laurel, Maryland.

Food and beverage revenues increased approximately $0.3 million or 6.0% to approximately $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to food and beverage revenues of approximately $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Increases in banqueting revenue at our properties in Tampa, Florida, Jeffersonville, Indiana, Raleigh, North Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina offset decreases in food and beverage revenue at our properties in Laurel, Maryland and Savannah, Georgia.

Revenue from other operating departments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 remained constant at approximately $1.1 million compared to revenue from other operating departments for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses and management fees, were approximately $14.5 million, an increase of approximately $0.5 million or 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to total hotel operating expenses of approximately $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in hotel operating expense was mostly attributable to an increase in operating revenue.

Rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $0.1 million or 2.8% to approximately $3.7 million compared to rooms expense of approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was largely attributable to higher payroll costs related to fewer vacant positions, higher unemployment taxes and employee furloughs in the prior period.

Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $0.1 million to approximately $3.1 million or 3.5% compared to food and beverage expenses of approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Most of the increase in food and beverage expense was directly related to the increase in food and beverage revenues. An improvement in food and beverage margins from 29.9% to 31.5% offset the cost of higher volume.

Indirect expenses at our wholly-owned properties for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $0.4 million or 5.4% to approximately $7.6 million compared to indirect expenses of approximately $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Management fees and franchise fees increased significantly due to the increase in revenue. Energy costs increased as well due to the increase in occupancy and higher costs due to the expiration of favorable fixed rate contracts. Sales and marketing costs, repairs and maintenance, insurance, real and personal property taxes as well as general and administrative costs at the property level are also included in indirect expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 remained constant at approximately $2.1 million compared to depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased approximately $0.1 million or 9.5% to approximately $1.0 million compared to corporate general and administrative expense of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $0.3 million or 11.9% to approximately $2.6 million compared to interest expense of approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was the combined result of a higher effective interest rate due mostly to the June 2010 amendment to the credit agreement offset by the lower average balance of debt outstanding.

Equity Income in Joint Venture. Equity income in joint venture for the three months ended March 31, 2011 represents our 25.0% share of the net loss of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our 25.0% share of the net income of the hotel remained constant at approximately $0.3 million, as compared to the same for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the hotel reported occupancy of 88.3%, ADR of $153.19 and RevPAR of $135.28. This compares with results reported by the hotel for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of occupancy of 89.1%, ADR of $159.49 and RevPAR of $142.14.

Income Taxes. The income tax provision or benefit is primarily derived from the operations of our TRS Lessee. The Company realized income tax expense of approximately $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to an income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $0.2 million or 22.2% to approximately $1.3 million as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of the operating results discussed above.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income.

Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has improved the understanding of the operating results of REITs among the investing public and made comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance. Management believes FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

The following table reconciles net loss to FFO for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited):

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities. Our principal source of cash to meet our operating requirements, including distributions to unitholders and stockholders as well as repayments of indebtedness, is the operations of our hotels. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $3.8 million. We expect that the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund our continuing operations, monthly and quarterly payments of principal and interest and the payment of dividends in accordance with federal income tax laws which require us to make annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains.

Investing Activities. Approximately $1.1 million was spent during the three months ended March 31, 2011 on capital improvements and the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment.

Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we paid approximately $0.2 million of scheduled principal payments toward the mortgages on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside and the Hilton Savannah DeSoto. We also paid approximately $0.3 million in deferred financing costs in relation to the sixth amendment to the credit agreement.

Capital Expenditures

Since mid-2004, we have completed product improvement plans (“PIPs”) in connection with the licensing or re-licensing at eight of our nine wholly-owned properties. With the exception of a PIP in connection with the re-licensing of the Holiday Inn Brownstone as the Doubletree Hotel Raleigh Downtown before its current franchise license expires in December 2011, we anticipate that capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment over the next 12 to 24 months will be lower than historical norms for our properties and the industry. Historically, we have aimed to maintain overall capital expenditures at 4.0% of gross revenue. However, in light of the recent slowdown of the economy and current economic climate as well as in the interest of preserving capital, we aim to restrict capital expenditures to the replacement of broken or damaged furniture and equipment and the acquisition of items mandated by our licensors that are necessary to maintain our brand affiliations. We anticipate that capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment that are not related to a PIP should total 2.75% to 3.25% of gross revenues during the next 12 to 24 months.

We estimate the remaining capital expenditures related to the PIP underway in Raleigh, North Carolina will be approximately $1.8 million and expect to fund it out of operations. We expect capital expenditures for the replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at our remaining properties will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements that may be required by our franchisors. Reserve accounts are escrowed accounts with funds deposited monthly and reserved for capital improvements or expenditures. We deposit an amount equal to 4.0% of gross revenue for the Hilton Savannah DeSoto, the Hilton Wilmington Riverside and the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina and 4.0% of room revenues for the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront. Commencing in June 2010, we began depositing an amount equal to 3.0% of room revenues for our remaining wholly-owned properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.2 million, of which approximately $2.2 million was in restricted reserve accounts and real estate tax and insurance escrows. As of March 31, 2011, our credit facility had an outstanding balance of approximately $75.2 million. We expect that our cash on hand combined with our cash flow from our hotels should be adequate to fund continuing operations, recurring capital expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, monthly payments of principal and interest and dividends on the Preferred Stock.

In April 2011, we sold 25,000 shares of redeemable Preferred Stock and generated net proceeds of approximately $24.0 million after transaction costs. In conjunction with the sale of redeemable Preferred Stock, we executed an amendment to our credit

agreement and used approximately $22.7 million of the proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance on the credit facility. Among other modifications to the existing amended credit agreement, the amendment extends the maturity date for three years to May 2014, reduces the additional interest from 4.00% to 3.50% and removes the LIBOR floor of 0.75%, and modifies certain covenants. We estimate that the reduced interest expense on the remaining balance on the credit facility related to the amended terms of the credit agreement is approximately the same as the increased cost related to the redeemable Preferred Stock.

Coincident with the sale of redeemable Preferred Stock and execution of the sixth amendment to the credit agreement, we executed a Note Agreement with Essex Equity High Income Joint Investment Vehicle, LLC allowing us to borrow up to $10.0 million (“Bridge Financing”) at a fixed rate of 9.25% upon which no draws have been made.

In June 2011, the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina matures, but may be extended an additional twelve months provided the operating performance of the property meets certain debt service coverage criteria. We anticipate that the operating performance of the property will be insufficient to meet the extension requirements. We may be required to reduce the mortgage balance by an amount up to $4.0 million in order to secure an extension or to refinance the existing mortgage indebtedness with a different lender. We intend to draw upon the Bridge Financing as well as working capital to secure the extension or refinance.

In July 2011, the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront matures. We intend to refinance the existing mortgage indebtedness, but, depending on market conditions, may be required to reduce the mortgage balance by an amount up to $5.0 million. We intend to draw upon the Bridge Financing as well as working capital to refinance the existing indebtedness.

We will need to, and plan to, renew, replace or extend our long-term indebtedness prior to their respective maturity dates. We are uncertain whether we will be able to refinance these obligations or if refinancing terms will be favorable. If we are unable to obtain alternative or additional financing arrangements in the future, or if we cannot obtain financing on acceptable terms, we may be forced to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms. To the extent we cannot repay our outstanding debt, we risk losing some or all of these properties to foreclosure and we could be required to invoke insolvency proceedings including, but not limited to, commencing a voluntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

We believe the recovering economy will provide opportunities to acquire properties at attractive prices. However, with the constraints of the covenants in our credit agreement and other financing agreements, we have limited, if any, ability to incur additional debt in order to take advantage of such opportunities. Given the potential for attractive acquisitions emerging from the recent economic downturn, we intend to pursue additional equity financing in the future to enable us to take advantage of such opportunities. However, should additional equity financing not be available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of such opportunities.

Beyond the funding of any required principal reduction on our existing indebtedness or acquisitions in the near-term, our medium and long-term capital needs will generally include the retirement of maturing mortgage debt, amounts outstanding under our secured credit facility, redemption of the Preferred Stock and obligations under our tax indemnity agreements, if any. We remain committed to maintaining a flexible capital structure. Accordingly, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through a combination of some or all the following:

 

•

The issuance of additional shares of preferred stock;

 

•

The issuance of additional shares of our common stock;

 

•

The issuance of additional units in the Operating Partnership;

 

•

The incurrence by the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the refinancing of hotel properties;

 

•

The selective disposition of core or non-core assets;

 

•

The sale or contribution of some of our wholly-owned properties, development projects or development land to strategic joint ventures to be formed with unrelated investors, which would have the net effect of generating additional capital through such sale or contribution;

 

•

The issuance by the Operating Partnership of the Company and/or their subsidiary entities of secured and unsecured debt securities to the extent permitted by our credit agreement; or

 

•

The incurrence by the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of hotel properties.

Dividend Policy

In December 2008, in the interest of capital preservation and based on the expectation that the U.S. economy, and in particular the lodging industry, would continue to face declining operating trends through 2009, we amended our dividend policy and reduced the level of our cash dividend payments. Our ability to make distributions is constrained by the terms of our credit agreement, as amended, the Preferred Stock instrument and the Note Agreement. The Company’s credit agreement, as amended, the Preferred Stock

instrument and the Note Agreement permit the Company to pay a dividend on our common stock subject to certain requirements, including liquidity thresholds. At present, the Company meets and exceeds these requirements to pay a dividend on our common stock in an amount minimally necessary in order to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit agreement also provides that the Company may make additional dividend distributions so long as no event of default exists at the time, or after giving effect to such additional distributions, if the Company maintains both a minimum liquidity position of $7.5 million and satisfies a debt yield ratio of EBITDA to total liabilities of at least 10.0% before and after giving effect to such distribution, provided the aggregate amount of total distributions cannot exceed 90.0% of FFO (including distributions on Preferred Stock in the calculation of FFO) for the previous twelve months, all as defined in the credit agreement, as amended. Pursuant to the sixth amendment to the credit agreement, total liabilities and FFO are defined such that it eases the Company’s compliance with the credit agreement’s restrictions on additional distributions. The Preferred Stock instrument similarly requires a minimum liquidity position of $7.5 million as a condition to payment of a dividend on common stock. The Note Agreement further provides that the Company may make additional dividend distributions if the Company has, and will have after giving effect to such distributions, at least $10.0 million in total cash or cash equivalents. Up to $5.0 million in undrawn commitments under the Note Agreement may be included in calculating the liquidity requirements under the credit agreement, the Preferred Stock instrument and the Note Agreement.

The amount of future distributions will be based upon quarterly operating results, general economic conditions, requirements for capital improvements, the availability of debt and equity capital, the Internal Revenue Code’s annual distribution requirements, the terms of our credit agreement, as amended, or any future or similar credit agreement, the Preferred Stock instrument and the Note Agreement and other factors which our board of directors deems relevant. The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by our board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors deemed relevant by our board of directors, and no assurance can be given that our distribution policy will not change in the future.

The holders of the Preferred Stock have a right to payment of a cumulative dividend payable (i) in cash at an annual rate of 10.0% and (ii) in additional shares of the preferred stock at an annual rate of 2.0% of the liquidation preference per share. With respect to dividends on Preferred Stock, the credit agreement, as amended, provides that they may only be paid from unrestricted cash, if all interest then owing under the credit agreement has been paid, and if no event of default, or breach of certain financial covenants, exists on the payment date both before and after giving effect to the payment of preferred dividends.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Through a joint venture with a Carlyle subsidiary, we own a 25.0% indirect, non-controlling interest in an entity (the “JV Owner”) that acquired the 311-room Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. We have the right to receive a pro rata share of operating surpluses and we have an obligation to fund our pro rata share of operating shortfalls. We also have the opportunity to earn an incentive participation in the net proceeds realized from the sale of the hotel based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition to our pro rata share of net sale proceeds. The Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort is leased to another entity (the “Joint Venture Lessee”) in which we also own a 25.0% indirect, non-controlling interest.

The acquisition of the property was funded in part by a mortgage loan in the amount of $57.6 million. The mortgage, which had an original two-year term maturing on August 1, 2009, was restructured on June 13, 2008 so that the first $35.6 million bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus additional interest of 0.98%. The remaining $22.0 million bore a rate of LIBOR plus additional interest of 3.50%. Upon that restructure, a fourth entity, in which we own a 25.0% indirect non-controlling interest, purchased the $22.0 million junior participation for $19.0 million. The loan had been extended for one year and was modified in August 2010 to extend the maturity date to August 2014, require monthly payments of interest at a rate of LIBOR plus additional interest of 1.94% and require annual principal payments of $0.5 million. In conjunction with the loan modification, the joint venture made an additional $1.5 million payment of principal and executed an interest-rate swap with a notional amount and maturity tied to the projected outstanding balance and maturity date of the loan. The Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort secures the mortgage. We have provided limited guarantees to the lender with respect to this mortgage.

Carlyle owns a 75.0% controlling interest in the JV Owner, the Joint Venture Lessee, the entity with the purchase option and the entity that held the junior participation. Carlyle may elect to dispose of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort without our consent. We account for our non-controlling 25.0% interest in all of these entities under the equity method of accounting.

Inflation

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our TRS Lessee and net income from the operations of our TRS Lessee. Therefore, we rely primarily on the performance of the individual properties and the ability of our management company to increase revenues and to keep pace with inflation. Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to keep pace with inflation. However, competitive pressures at some or all of our hotels may limit the ability of our management company to raise room rates.

Our expenses, including hotel operating expenses, administrative expenses, real estate taxes and property and casualty insurance are subject to inflation. These expenses are expected to grow with the general rate of inflation, except for energy, liability insurance, property and casualty insurance, property tax rates, employee benefits, and some wages, which are expected to increase at rates higher than inflation.

Seasonality

The operations of our hotel properties have historically been seasonal. The months of April and May are traditionally strong, as is October. The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore and our joint venture property, the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort. The remaining months are generally good, but can be impacted by bad weather and can vary significantly.

Geographic Concentration

Our hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Critical Accounting Policies

The critical accounting policies are described below. We consider these policies critical because they involve difficult management judgments and assumptions, are subject to material change from external factors or are pervasive, and are significant to fully understand and evaluate our reported financial results.

Investment in Hotel Properties. Hotel properties are stated at cost, net of any impairment charges, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 7-39 years for buildings and improvements and 3-10 years for furniture and equipment. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the controlling interests in hotels comprising our accounting predecessor, MHI Hotels Services Group, and noncontrolling interests held by the controlling holders of our accounting predecessor in hotels acquired from third parties are recorded at historical cost basis. Noncontrolling interests in those entities that comprise our accounting predecessor and the interests in hotels, other than those held by the controlling members of our accounting predecessor, acquired from third parties are recorded at fair value at time of acquisition.

We review our hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause us to perform our review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where our hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized.

There were no charges for impairment recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.

We estimate the fair market values of our properties through cash flow analysis taking into account each property’s expected cash flow generated from operations, holding period and expected proceeds from ultimate disposition. These cash flow analyses are based upon significant management judgments and assumptions including revenues and operating costs, growth rates and economic conditions at the time of ultimate disposition. In projecting the expected cash flows from operations of the asset, we base our estimates on future projected net operating income before depreciation and eliminating non-recurring operating expenses, which is a non-GAAP operational measure, and deduct expected capital expenditure requirements. We then apply growth assumptions based on estimated changes in room rates and expenses and the demand for lodging at our properties, as impacted by local and national economic conditions and estimated or known future new hotel supply. The estimated proceeds from disposition are determined as a matter of management’s business judgment based on a combination of anticipated cash flow in the year of disposition, terminal capitalization rate, ratio of selling price to gross hotel revenues and selling price per room.

If actual conditions differ from those in our assumptions, the actual results of each asset’s operations and fair market value could be significantly different from the estimated results and value used in our analysis.

Revenue Recognition. Hotel revenue, including room, food, beverage and other hotel revenue, is recognized as the related services are delivered. We generally consider accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If we determine that amounts are uncollectible, which would generally be the result of a customer’s bankruptcy or other economic downturn, such amounts will be charged against operations when that determination is made.

Income Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Because of expected future taxable income of our TRS Lessee, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to

reduce our net deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2011. Should our estimate of future taxable income be less than expected, we would record an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset in the period such determination was made.

risks associated with the level of our indebtedness and our ability to meet covenants in our debt agreements and, if necessary, to refinance or seek an extension of the maturity of such indebtedness;

 

•

management and performance of our hotels;

 

•

risks associated with the conflicts of interest of our officers and directors;

 

•

risks associated with redevelopment and repositioning projects, including delays and cost overruns;

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below. Our market risk discussion includes “forward-looking statements” and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that could occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. These disclosures are not precise indicators of expected future losses, but only indicators of reasonably possible losses. As a result, actual future results may differ materially from those presented. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.

To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we will borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. In August 2006, we purchased an interest-rate swap with a notional amount of $30.0 million in order to comply with the terms of our credit agreement which requires us to hedge a portion of the maximum borrowing amount. In June 2010, we replaced the interest-rate swap with another interest-rate swap with a notional amount of $30.0 million which expires in May 2011. As of March 31, 2011, a derivative with a fair value of approximately $22,000 was included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. From time to time we may enter into other interest rate hedge contracts such as collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately $63.0 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $88.7 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 6.67%. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt, but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the change in 30-day LIBOR, but would be limited to the effect on our mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina – to the extent that 30-day LIBOR exceeds 2.0% – as well as the loan from the Carlyle Affiliate Lender and the gap between the balance on the credit facility and the $30.0 million notional amount of the interest-rate swap purchased on June 10, 2010. Assuming that the amount outstanding on our mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, the loan from the Carlyle Affiliate Lender and the amount outstanding under our credit facility remain at approximately $88.7 million, the balance at March 31, 2011, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in 30-day LIBOR would be approximately $587,000.

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $63.2 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $88.7 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 6.67%. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt, but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the change in 30-day LIBOR, but would be limited to the effect on our mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina – to the extent that 30-day LIBOR exceeds 2.0% – as well as the loan from the Carlyle Affiliate Lender and the gap between the balance on the credit facility and the $30.0 million notional amount of the interest-rate swap purchased on June 10, 2010. Assuming that the amount outstanding on our mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, the loan from the Carlyle Affiliate Lender and the amount outstanding under our credit facility remain at approximately $88.7 million, the balance at December 31, 2010, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in 30-day LIBOR would be approximately $587,000.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of MHI Hospitality Corporation have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, MHI Hospitality Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

As of March 31, 2011, there was no change in MHI Hospitality Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during MHI Hospitality Corporation’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, MHI Hospitality Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. We believe that these routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are not material to our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Holders of our outstanding preferred stock have rights that are senior to the rights of the holders of our common stock. In addition, the rights of the holders of the preferred stock may adversely affect our financial position.

On April 18, 2011, we completed a $25.0 million private placement pursuant to which we issued 25,000 shares of our Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) and a warrant (“Warrant”) to acquire 1.9 million shares of our common stock.

The Preferred Stock has a mandatory redemption date of April 18, 2016 or upon the earlier occurrence of certain triggering events. In the event of a mandatory redemption, our obligation would be approximately $25.0 million. In order to satisfy any mandatory redemption, we may be required to borrow money, issue equity securities or sell assets to meet this obligation, which could impair our ability to raise the funds necessary to operate our business, involve dilution to holders of our common stock or require the disposition of key assets.

In the event the Company is liquidated while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a preferred liquidation distribution, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, before holders of common stock receive any distributions.

The holders of the Preferred Stock have a right to payment of a cumulative dividend payable (i) in cash at an annual rate of 10% and (ii) in additional shares of the Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 2% of the liquidation preference per share. The payment of the cash dividend is expected to result in reduced capital resources available to the Company.

The holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock will have the exclusive right, voting separately as a single class, to elect one member of the Company’s board of directors. In addition, under certain circumstances, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to appoint a majority of the members of the board.

The holders of the Preferred Stock may have different interests from the holders of the common stock and the exercise by the holders of the Preferred Stock of their rights may be deemed adverse to the holders of the common stock as well as have an adverse effect on our financial position.

The exercise of the Warrant may have an adverse effect on the holders of shares of common stock.

The exercise of the Warrant we issued in our recent Preferred Stock private placement could negatively affect the price of our common stock. The holders of the Warrant may freely exercise the Warrant and such holders will have the right to require the Company, subject to certain limitations, to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the shares of common stock held by such holders for the sale of the common stock. If the holders of the Warrant elect to exercise the Warrant and sell a material amount of the underlying shares of common stock, the increase in selling activity could negatively affect the price of our common stock. In addition, the exercise of the Warrant would dilute the ownership interest of our existing holders of our shares of common stock.

We have debt obligations maturing in 2011, and if we are not successful in extending the term of this indebtedness or in refinancing this debt on acceptable economic terms or at all, our overall financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We will be required to seek additional capital in the near future to refinance or replace existing long-term mortgage debt that is maturing. Based on current market conditions, the availability of financing is, and may continue to be, limited. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain future financings on acceptable terms, if at all. In June 2011, the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, which may be extended to June 2012, subject to certain terms and conditions, matures. In July 2010, our mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront matured, but we were able to extend the maturity to July 2011. In April 2011,

we entered into a sixth amendment to our credit agreement, which, among other things, extended the final maturity date of advances under the credit agreement from May 2011 to May 2014.

If we are unable to obtain alternative or additional financing arrangements in the future, or if we cannot obtain financing on acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business strategies. Moreover, the terms of any additional financing may restrict our financial flexibility, including the debt we may incur in the future, or may restrict our ability to manage our business as we had intended.

The recent general economic slowdown has negatively affected the financial performance of our hotels, which is the primary factor in determining their fair market value. If the current recovery stagnates or the general economic slowdown recurs, we may have difficulty complying with the covenants in our credit agreement.

Under the terms of our credit agreement, we must satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants. As of May 4, 2011, we had $52.5 million outstanding under our credit agreement. In June 2010, we entered into an amendment to our credit agreement that adjusted the valuation methodology for valuing our existing hotel properties and converted the facility to non-revolving.

Our credit agreement limits the principal balance that may be outstanding at any time to 85% of the value of the properties in our collateral pool based on the valuation methodology in the credit agreement. The valuation methodology applies a multiple to the net operating income of each property to determine its value for purposes of the credit facility, except with respect to the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore property, which is valued in the collateral pool at the lesser of (x) the appraised value and (y) $19.6 million. The credit agreement, as amended, also contains financial covenants which include tests of our level of overall profitability and leverage. As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all the required covenants.

Failure to maintain sufficient levels of financial performance at our hotel properties could cause the value of our collateral pool, as determined by the terms of the agreement, to fall below anticipated borrowing levels and could require us to immediately repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness. Failure to repay required portions of our indebtedness would create a potential default under this credit agreement. In addition to the impact on the value of the collateral pool, failure to maintain sufficient levels of financial performance at our hotel properties could cause us to fail any of the financial performance covenant tests in our credit agreement. Failure to satisfy these covenants and conditions would create a potential default under this credit agreement. In connection with entering into the sixth amendment to the credit agreement in April 2011, we prepaid approximately $22.7 million of the outstanding balance on our credit facility.

In the event of a default, for failure to satisfy any of the loan covenants or for failure to make timely repayment necessitated by an insufficiency of the collateral pool, our lender could require us to immediately repay all outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility. In order to repay all or a significant portion of the outstanding indebtedness, we would have to obtain financing from alternative debt sources or private or public offerings of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that such alternative financing sources would be available to us at all or on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to refinance our debt on acceptable terms, we may be forced to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms. To the extent we cannot repay our outstanding debt, we risk losing some or all of these properties to foreclosure and we could be required to invoke insolvency proceedings including, but not limited to, commencing a voluntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

If the recent economic slowdown continues to negatively affect the financial performance of our hotels, we may have difficulty refinancing existing indebtedness when it matures.

The amount of indebtedness lenders are willing to finance is generally limited to a percentage of a property’s fair market value. Valuations of hotel properties can be derived from various approaches, but a critical factor in the valuation is the financial performance, or potential financial performance, of the hotel. In June 2011, the $9.0 million mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina matures. We do not anticipate the property’s financial performance will be sufficient to meet the requirements for extending the loan an additional 12 months. In July 2011, the $18.0 million mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront matures. We do not anticipate that the property’s financial performance will be sufficient to refinance all of the existing indebtedness. We expect that we will be required to repay a portion of each property’s indebtedness upon extension or refinance. If we do not have sufficient funds to repay that portion of the indebtedness, it may be necessary to raise capital through additional debt financing, private or public offerings of debt securities, or additional equity financings. If, at the time of any refinancing, prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates on refinancing, increases in interest expense would lower our cash flow, and, consequently, cash available for distribution to our stockholders. If we are unable to refinance our debt on acceptable terms, we may be forced to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses and potentially reducing cash flow from operating activities if the sale proceeds in excess of the amount required to satisfy the indebtedness could not be reinvested in equally profitable real property investments.

Table of Contents

In addition to refinancing mortgage indebtedness on individual properties, we may be required to refinance our indebtedness under the credit facility, which matures in May 2014. Similar to the risk of refinancing mortgage indebtedness on individual properties, if we do not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness, we may have to raise additional capital, which may be subject to disadvantageous terms and higher rates of interest that would lower our cash flow; or we may have to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms.

Our liquidity, including access to capital markets and financing, could be constrained by limitations in the overall credit markets, our creditworthiness and our ability to comply with financial covenants in our debt instruments and the covenants in our Preferred Stock instrument and Note Agreement.

Our ability to borrow under new financial arrangements depends on our compliance with covenants in the related agreements and on our performance against covenants in our credit agreement that require compliance with certain financial ratios as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Among other restrictions, our credit agreement limits the amount of leverage we are allowed to undertake. To the extent that we are unable to maintain compliance with this and other requirements or to perform against the financial performance covenants, due to one or more of the various risk factors discussed herein or otherwise, our ability to borrow, and our liquidity, would be adversely impacted. Our liquidity could also be constrained by the covenants in our Preferred Stock instrument and Note Agreement.

Our ability to make distributions to our stockholders is restricted by the terms of our credit agreement, Preferred Stock instrument and Note Agreement and is subject to fluctuations in our financial performance, operating results and capital improvements requirements.

As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, each year to our stockholders. However, several factors may make us unable to declare or pay distributions to our stockholders, including poor operating results and financial performance or unanticipated capital improvements to our hotels, including capital improvements that may be required by our franchisors.

We lease all of our hotels to our TRS Lessee. The TRS Lessee is subject to hotel operating risks, including risks of sustaining operating losses after payment of hotel operating expenses, including management fees. Among the factors which could cause our TRS Lessee to fail to make required rent payments are reduced net operating profits or operating losses, increased debt service requirements and capital expenditures at our hotels, including capital expenditures required by the franchisors of our hotels. Among the factors that could reduce the net operating profits of our TRS Lessee are decreases in hotel revenues and increases in hotel operating expenses. Hotel revenue can decrease for a number of reasons, including increased competition from a new supply of hotel rooms and decreased demand for hotel rooms. These factors can reduce both occupancy and room rates at our hotels.

Additionally, our ability to make distributions is constrained by the terms of our credit agreement, as amended, as well as the preferred stock instrument and the Note Agreement. While our credit agreement, the preferred stock instrument and the Note Agreement permit the minimum distributions that allow us to maintain our status as a REIT provided that no default or event of default exists at the time of the distribution and we do not incur indebtedness to make the distribution, they provide additional conditions that must be met before payments in excess of the minimum distributions can be made. These additional conditions include certain liquidity requirements including (a) that we maintain at least $7.5 million of liquidity, which is measured by the sum of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and (b) a debt yield, which requires that we then have a ratio of EBITDA to total liabilities of at least 10.0%, provided the aggregate amount of such distributions in a given year cannot exceed 90.0% of FFO (including distributions on preferred stock in the calculation of FFO) for the prior fiscal year. The preferred stock instrument similarly requires a minimum liquidity position of $7.5 million as a condition to payment of a dividend on common stock. The Note Agreement further provides that the Company may make additional dividend distributions if the Company has, and will have after giving effect to such distributions, at least $10.0 million in total cash or cash equivalents. Up to $5.0 million in undrawn commitments under the Note Agreement may be included in calculating the liquidity requirements under the credit agreement, the Preferred Stock instrument and the Note Agreement.

Subject to the restrictions of our credit agreement, as amended, the preferred stock instrument and the Note Agreement, the amount of any dividend distributions is in the sole discretion of our board of directors, which will consider, among other factors, our financial performance, debt service obligations, debt covenants and capital expenditure requirements. We cannot assure you that we will continue to generate sufficient cash to fund distributions.

The holders of the preferred stock have a right to payment of a cumulative dividend payable (i) in cash at an annual rate of 10.0% and (ii) in additional shares of the preferred stock at an annual rate of 2.0% of the liquidation preference per share. With respect to dividends on preferred stock, the credit agreement, as amended, provides that they may only be paid from unrestricted cash, if all

interest then owing under the credit agreement has been paid, and if no event of default, or breach of certain financial covenants, exists on the payment date both before and after giving effect to the payment of preferred dividends.
