EXPLANATORY NOTE

We refer to Sotherly Hotels Inc. as the “Company,” Sotherly Hotels LP as the “Operating Partnership,” the Company’s common stock as “common stock,” the Company’s preferred stock as “preferred stock,” and the Operating Partnership’s common partnership interest as “partnership units,” and the Operating Partnership’s preferred interest as the “preferred units.” References to “we” and “our” mean the Company, its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2020, the Company relied on the SEC order (Release No. 34-88318), as modified and superseded by a new SEC order (Release No. 34-88465) (the “SEC Order”), issued under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) in filing this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”). The SEC Order provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with certain filing obligations as a result of the ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The SEC Order provides that a registrant subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d), and any person required to make any filings with respect to such registrant, is exempt from any requirement to file or furnish materials with the SEC under Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a), 14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A, Regulation 13D-G (except for those provisions mandating the filing of Schedule 13D or amendments to Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and Exchange Act Rules 13f-1, and 14f-1, as applicable, if certain conditions are satisfied.

The Company and the Operating Partnership relied on the SEC Order to delay the filing of our Quarterly Report due to the significant impacts and disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant state orders, including in Virginia, where the Company’s headquarters is located, have limited access to our facilities and impacted normal working patterns as they required the majority of our staff to stay at home and transition to a remote working environment on very short notice. At the same time, the Company’s attention and resources have been focused on addressing the severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations as described in further detail below. These factors delayed our ability to complete and file our Quarterly Report by May 11, 2020.

The Company conducts virtually all of its activities through the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. The partnership agreement provides that the Operating Partnership will assume and pay when due, or reimburse the Company for payment of, all costs and expenses relating to the ownership and operations of, or for the benefit of, the Operating Partnership. The partnership agreement further provides that all expenses of the Company are deemed to be incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership.

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 of the Company and the Operating Partnership. We believe combining the quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:

•

combined reports better reflect how management and investors view the business as a single operating unit;

•

combined reports enhance investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;

•

combined reports are more efficient for the Company and the Operating Partnership and result in savings of time, effort and expense; and

•

combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

•

Consolidated Financial Statements;

•

the following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:

•

Note 7 – Preferred Stock and Units;

•

Note 8 – Common Stock and Units;

•

Note 13 – Loss Per Share and Per Unit; and

•

Note 14 – Subsequent Events;

•

Part I, Item 4 - Controls and Procedures;

•

Part II, Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds; and

•

Part II, Item 6 - Certifications of CEO and CFO pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Sotherly Hotels Inc. (the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and southern United States. Currently, the Company is focused on the acquisition, renovation, upbranding and repositioning of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States. The Company’s portfolio consists of investments in twelve hotel properties comprising 3,156 rooms, as well as interests in two condominium hotels and their associated rental programs. The Company owns hotels that operate under the Hilton Worldwide, Marriott International, Inc., and Hyatt Hotels Corporation brands, as well as independent hotels.

The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering 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, Sotherly Hotels LP (the “Operating Partnership”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) of the Operating Partnership, the Company, as general partner, is not entitled to compensation for its services to the Operating Partnership. The Company, as general partner, conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company’s administrative expenses are the obligations of the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the Company is entitled to reimbursement for any expenditure incurred by it on the Operating Partnership’s behalf.

For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which at March 31, 2020 was approximately 92.3% owned by the Company, through its subsidiaries leases the hotels to direct and indirect subsidiaries of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, (collectively, “MHI TRS Entities”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2020, the MHI TRS Entities engaged eligible independent hotel management companies, including MHI Hotels Services, LLC, which does business as Chesapeake Hospitality (“Chesapeake Hospitality”), Highgate Hotels, L.P. (“Highgate Hotels”), and Our Town Hospitality, LLC (“Our Town”) to operate the hotels under management contracts. MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“MHI TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. As of April 1, 2020, Chesapeake Hospitality no longer manages any of the Company’s hotels.

All references in these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Company, its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.

COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) to be a global pandemic and the virus has continued to spread throughout the United States and the world. As a result of this pandemic and subsequent government mandates and health official recommendations, hotel demand has been significantly reduced. Following the government mandates and health official recommendations, we significantly reduced operations at all of our hotels, temporarily suspended operations of our hotel condominium rental programs and dramatically reduced staffing and expenses. All of our hotels other than the rental programs at our condominium hotels have remained open on a limited basis in order to serve the needs of the community. The Company expects that maintaining the current limited operations will allow us to increase capacity at individual hotels as demand returns and the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) and state guidelines allow for an easing of travel and other business restrictions, provided we can be confident that occupancy levels and reduced social distancing will not unduly jeopardize the health and safety of guests, employees and communities.

COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the Company’s operations and financial results both during the first quarter and in the period following, including a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations. While the full impact of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic, the contraction of operations at our hotels and other effects are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we expect significant negative impacts on our operations and financial results to continue until travel and business restrictions are eased, stay-at-home directives are lifted, consumer confidence is restored and an economic recovery commences. At a minimum, Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic to have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow through 2020. In response to those negative impacts, we took a number of actions to reduce costs and preserve liquidity. The Company’s board of directors suspended quarterly cash dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock and deferred payment of dividends on its 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), 7.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred

Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and 8.25% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). We also suspended most planned capital expenditure projects, reduced the compensation of our executive officers, board of directors and employees. Working closely with our hotel managers, we significantly reduced our hotels’ operating expenses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased economic uncertainty and led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of, and limit accessibility to, capital. As a result of the negative impacts of the pandemic and the ongoing market uncertainty, in April and May, three of our wholly-owned subsidiaries sought and received funding under the federal Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) provided in Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act of 1953, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, as amended (the “CARES Act”). Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements and promissory notes entered into with lenders under the PPP, we borrowed an aggregate amount of approximately $10.7 million (the “PPP Loans”).

We also sought and obtained forbearance and loan modification agreements with lenders under the mortgages for certain of our hotel properties. Despite those arrangements, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants on two of our mortgages as of March 31, 2020. Neither of those non-compliance events constituted an automatic “Event of Default” under the terms of the applicable mortgage loan agreement and we subsequently entered into a loan modification agreement of the mortgage on Hotel Alba Tampa addressing the noncompliance, subject to certain conditions described in Note 5 below. However, following March 31, 2020 we failed to make principal or interest payments under the mortgages secured by our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach and Hyatt Centric Arlington hotels, each of which constituted an Event of Default, which pursuant to the terms of each mortgage loan agreement, may cause an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default persists. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable mortgage loan and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans and the lenders under our Hilton Hollywood Beach and Hyatt Centric Arlington mortgages have that right. If either lender were to accelerate the payment of principal and interest on the applicable mortgage, we would likely not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We are actively negotiating terms of proposed forbearance agreements and waivers with those lenders similar to those we have obtained from lenders secured by our other hotel properties.

The duration of the disruption on global, national and local economies cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. However, as long as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue, our future business operations, including the results of operations, cash flows and financial position will be significantly affected. We believe it is probable that over the course of the next four quarters we will fail to satisfy additional financial covenants in several of our mortgage loan agreements, some of which are already the subject of waivers, forbearance agreements or loan modification arrangements with our lenders. If we fail to obtain additional waivers, forbearance arrangements or loan modifications, our lenders could declare us in default and require repayment of the outstanding balance on the mortgage loan. If that were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We believe we will be successful in obtaining waivers, forbearance arrangements or loan modifications but cannot provide assurance we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

Because any forbearance agreements, waivers or loan modifications would be granted at the sole discretion of the lenders, we have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires that in making this determination, we cannot consider future fundraising activities, whether through equity or debt offerings or dispositions of hotel properties, or the likelihood of obtaining forbearance agreements, covenant waivers or loan modifications, all of which are outside of the Company's control. Management believes that obtaining forbearance agreements, waivers or loan modifications from our lenders would remove the reason for the determination of substantial doubt. However, any such arrangement may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other possible lender protections. In addition to or in lieu of obtaining concessions from lenders as described above, we believe we could raise additional funds, if needed, through a combination of hotel dispositions or debt or equity financings.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Overview of Significant Transactions

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

On April 18, 2019, the Company closed a sale and issuance of 1,080,000 shares of its 8.25% Series D cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, for gross proceeds of $27.0 million before underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses payable by the Company. On May 1, 2019, the Company closed a sale and issuance of an additional 120,000 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock, for gross proceeds of $3.0 million before underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses payable by the Company, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of the Series D Preferred Stock. Total net proceeds after all estimated expenses were approximately $28.4 million, which the Company contributed to its Operating Partnership for an equivalent number of Series D preferred units. We used the net proceeds to redeem in full the Operating Partnership’s 7.25% Notes and for working capital.

On April 24, 2019, the Hyde Resort & Residences condominium association, 4111 South Ocean Drive Condominium Association, Inc., unilaterally terminated both (i) the existing Lease Agreement for the 400-space parking garage and meeting rooms associated with the condominium hotel and (ii) the Association Management Agreement relating to the operation and management of the hotel condominium association. We continue to operate our rental program at the Hyde Resort & Residences.

On April 26, 2019, we entered into amended loan documents to modify the existing mortgage loan on the Hotel Alba with the existing lender, Fifth Third Bank. Pursuant to the modification, the mortgage loan principal balance remained at approximately $18.2 million; the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2022, and may be extended for two additional periods of one year each, subject to certain conditions; the mortgage loan continues to bear a floating interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 3.75% subject to a floor rate of 3.75%, with a new provision to reduce the floating interest rate to 1-month LIBOR plus 3.00% upon the successful achievement of certain performance hurdles; the mortgage loan amortizes on a 25-year schedule; and the mortgage loan continues to be guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.

On May 20, 2019, the Operating Partnership redeemed the entire $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.25% Notes, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 7.25% Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

On September 6, 2019, we entered into a master agreement with Newport Hospitality Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation, and Our Town relating to the management of ten of our hotels. On December 13, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the master agreement, as well as a series of individual hotel management agreements for the management of those ten hotels. On January 1, 2020 ten of our individual hotel management agreements with Chesapeake Hospitality expired and management of those hotels was transitioned to Our Town. Also on December 13, 2019, we entered into a sublease agreement with Our Town pursuant to which Our Town subleases 2,245 square feet of office space from us, and a credit agreement with Our Town pursuant to which the Company has agreed to make a working capital line of credit of up to $850,000 available to Our Town.

On September 26, 2019, we closed on the purchase of a commercial condominium unit of the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, a newly constructed 342-unit condominium hotel located in Hollywood, Florida (“Hyde Beach House”), from 4000 South Ocean Property Owner, LLLP. In connection with the closing, we (i) acquired commercial unit 2 of the Hyde Beach House, along with rights to certain limited common elements appurtenant to the commercial unit, for an adjusted purchase price of approximately $5.4 million; (ii) purchased inventories and equipment for additional consideration in the amount of approximately $0.7 million; (iii) entered into a second addendum to the purchase agreement; (iv) entered into a 20-year parking and cabana management agreement for the parking garage and poolside cabanas associated with the Hyde Beach House; (v) entered into a 20-year management agreement relating to the operation and management of the Hyde Beach House condominium association; and (vi) received a pre-opening services fee of $1.0 million. We began operating a condominium unit rental program for residential units in the facility in November 2019. Also, in connection with the closing, our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach acquired a commercial condominium unit consisting of a 3,000 square foot ballroom and adjacent pre-function space, as well as 200 dedicated parking spaces within the parking garage adjacent to the hotel.

On March 24, 2020, we entered into a commercial agreement for deferral of principal and interest payments with the lender for the mortgage loan on the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel. Pursuant to the agreement payment of principal and interest was deferred for payments due in April, May and June 2020; the deferred principal and interest is due and payable at maturity; and the maturity date was not changed.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of Sotherly Hotels Inc., the Operating Partnership, MHI TRS and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions

have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership presented herein include all of the accounts of Sotherly Hotels LP, MHI TRS and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Additionally, all administrative expenses of the Company and those expenditures made by the Company on behalf of the Operating Partnership are reflected as the administrative expenses, expenditures and obligations thereto of the Operating Partnership, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties include investments in operating properties which are recorded at fair value on acquisition date 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 our accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures 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.

We review our 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 permanent 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 exceeds its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are found to be 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 would be recorded and an impairment loss recognized.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk – We hold cash accounts at several institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) protection limits of $250,000. Our 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 our 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 our various mortgage agreements.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists primarily of hotel guest and banqueting receivables. Ongoing evaluations of collectability are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible.

Inventories – Inventories, consisting primarily of food and beverages, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, 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 unamortized franchise fees as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $398,473 and $413,354, respectively. Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, totaled $14,880 and $14,869, respectively.

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Obligations – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.

A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842):

Targeted Improvements, to give companies another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing the new standard. The transition option allows companies to not apply the new lease standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption.

We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019. We elected the practical expedients allowed under the guidance and retained the original lease classification and historical accounting for initial direct costs for leases existing prior to the adoption date. We also elected not to restate prior periods for the impact of the adoption of the new standard. The adoption of this standard has resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and related liabilities to account for our future obligations under the acquired operating ground lease, equipment, office space, parking and land leases for which we are the lessee. See Notes 4 and 6 to the accompanying financial statements for additional disclosures on the adoption of this standard. As of March 31, 2020, we had right of use assets, net of approximately $7.2 million, and lease obligations of approximately $4.4 million. The right-of-use assets are included in investments in hotel properties, net or in prepaid expenses, inventory and other assets and the lease obligations are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Financing and Offering Costs – Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt and are reflected in mortgage loans, net and unsecured notes, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in advance of issuing equity and are reflected in prepaid expenses, inventory and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. 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.

Deferred offering costs are netted against our equity offerings when the offering is complete, whereby the costs are offset against the equity funds raised in the future and included in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets, or if the offering expires and the offering costs exceed the funds raised in the offering then the excess will be included in corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Instruments – Our derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the consolidated 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 and partners’ capital 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.

We use derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we currently use interest rate caps and an interest rate swap which act as cash flow hedges and are not designated as hedges. We value our interest-rate caps and interest rate swap at fair value, which we define 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). We do not enter into contracts to purchase or sell derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Fair Value Measurements –

We classify 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.

We endeavor 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 following table represents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement (our interest rate caps and interest rate swap are the only assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there were no non-recurring assets or liabilities for fair value measurements as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively):

(1)	Interest rate cap, which cap the 1-month LIBOR rate between 2.5% and 3.25%.

(2)	Interest rate swap, which takes the Loan Rate and swaps it for a fixed interest rate of 5.237%; notional amounts of the swap approximate the declining balance of the loan.

(3)	Mortgage loans are reflected at outstanding principal balance, net of deferred financing costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties were 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 – Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including the sales of rooms, food and beverage, and other ancillary services. Room revenue is recognized over a customer's hotel stay. Revenue from food and beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized on these distinct goods and services at the point in time or over the time period that goods or services are provided to the customer. Certain ancillary services are provided by third parties and the Company assesses whether it is the principal or agent in these arrangements. If the Company is the agent, revenue is recognized based upon the commission earned from the third party. If the Company is the principal, the Company recognizes revenue based upon the gross sales price. Some contracts for rooms or food and beverage services require an upfront deposit which is recorded as advanced deposits (or contract liabilities) and recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied and shown on our consolidated balance sheets.

Certain of the Company's hotels have retail spaces, restaurants or other spaces which the Company leases to third parties. Lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and included in other operating revenues in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

The Company collects sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes at its hotels which are presented on a net basis on the consolidated statements of operations. Accounts receivable primarily represents receivables from hotel guests who occupy hotel rooms and utilize hotel services. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover estimated potential credit losses.

Lease Revenue – Several of our properties generate revenue from leasing commercial space adjacent to the hotel, the restaurant space within the hotel, apartment units and space on the roofs of our hotels for antennas and satellite dishes. We account for the lease income as revenue from other operating departments within the consolidated statements of operations pursuant to the terms of each lease. Lease revenue was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

A schedule of minimum future lease payments receivable for the remaining nine and twelve-month periods is as follows:

For the nine months ending December 31, 2020	$	1,100,739
December 31, 2021		1,414,461
December 31, 2022		1,342,828
December 31, 2023		1,343,005
December 31, 2024		1,348,838
December 31, 2025 and thereafter		7,459,463
Total	$	14,009,334

Variable Interest Entities – The Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity. The Company’s only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s debt is an obligation of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

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. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax. MHI TRS, our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary which leases our hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

We account 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred tax assets totaled $0 and $5.4 million, respectively, of which $0 and $5.0 million relate to net operating losses of our MHI TRS Entities. A valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets if, based on all available evidence, it is “more-likely-than-not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will or will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient taxable income in certain financial statement periods. The “more-likely-than-not” analysis means the likelihood of realization is greater than 50%, that we will or will not be able to fully utilize the deferred tax assets against future taxable income. The net amount of deferred tax assets that are recorded on the financial statements must reflect the tax benefits that are expected to be realized using these criteria. As of March 31, 2020, we have determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not be able to fully utilize our deferred tax assets for future tax consequences, therefore a 100% valuation allowance is required.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Operating Partnership is generally not subject to federal and state income taxes as the unit holders of the Partnership are subject to tax on their respective shares of the Partnership’s taxable income.

Stock-based Compensation – The Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in April 2013, permit the grant of stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and performance share compensation awards to its employees and directors for up to 350,000 and 750,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders.

Under the 2013 Plan, the Company has made stock awards totaling 238,600 shares, including 156,350 non-restricted shares and 82,250 restricted shares issued to certain executives and employees and to its independent directors. All awards have vested except for 20,000 shares issued to one employee, which will vest over 4 years, 30,000 shares issued to one employee, which will vest over 10 years and 15,000 shares issued to one employee, which will vest over 5 years and 17,250 shares issued to the Company’s independent directors in February 2020, which will vest by December 31, 2020.

Under the 2013 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. As of March 31, 2020, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2013 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $126,870 and $100,358, respectively.

Additionally, the Company sponsors and maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and related trust for the benefit of its eligible employees. We reflect unearned ESOP shares as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Dividends on unearned ESOP shares, when paid, are considered compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be released. For the three months ended

March 31, 2020 and 2019, the ESOP compensation cost was $56,516 and $66,093, respectively. To the extent that the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, the differential is recognized as additional paid in capital. Because the ESOP is internally leveraged through a loan from the Company to the ESOP, the loan receivable by the Company from the ESOP is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.

Advertising – Advertising costs were $94,291 and $97,668 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Involuntary Conversion of Assets – We record gains or losses on involuntary conversions of assets due to recovered insurance proceeds to the extent the undepreciated cost of a nonmonetary asset differs from the amount of monetary proceeds received. During the three-month periods ending March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized approximately $0.01 million and $0.2, respectively, in gain on involuntary conversion of assets, which is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. We do not have any items of comprehensive income other than net income.

Segment Information – We have determined that our business is conducted in one reportable segment: hotel ownership.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The update provides guidance in accounting for changes in contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions as a result of this reference rate reform. The option expedients and exceptions contained within this update, in general, only apply to contract amendments and modifications entered into prior to January 1, 2023. The provisions of this update will most likely affect our financial reporting process relate to modifications of contracts with lenders and the related hedging contracts associated with each respective modified borrowing contract. In general, the provision of the update would benefit us by allowing modifications of debt contracts with lenders that fall under the guidance of ASC Topic 740 to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and not be considered debt extinguishment. As of March 31, 2020, we have not entered into any contract modification as it directly relates to reference rate reform, but we anticipate having to undertake such modifications in the future. While we anticipate the impact of this update to be to our benefit, we are still evaluating the overall impact.

3. Acquisition of Hotel Properties

Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences. On September 26, 2019, we acquired a commercial condominium unit of the Hyde Beach House condominium hotel, for a total fair value of consideration transferred including inventory and other assets of approximately $6.3 million.

The results of operations of the hotel commercial condominium unit are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. The total revenue and net loss related to the acquisition for the period January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 are approximately $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. There is no pro forma financial information since this is a new operation without prior historical information.

The allocation of the respective purchase price is based on fair value as follows:

	Hyde Beach House
Land and land improvements	$	500
Buildings and improvements		5,564,219
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		347,621
Favorable lease and other intangible assets		—
Investment in hotel properties		5,912,340
Accrued liabilities and other costs		—

As of March 31, 2020, we failed to meet the financial covenants under the mortgages secured by the Hotel Alba Tampa and the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach. We subsequently received a waiver of the financial covenant under the Hotel Alba Tampa mortgage through December 31, 2020, provided that we maintain the cash collateral on deposit with the lender. Cash collateral on deposit with the Hotel Alba Tampa lender was approximately $2.85 million at March 31, 2020, subject to certain withdrawal privileges. However, subsequent to March 31, 2020 we failed to make the required payments of principal and interest to our lenders under the mortgages secured by the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach and the Hyatt Centric Arlington, each of which constituted an “Event of Default” under the applicable loan agreement. Under the terms of each such loan agreement, the lender may elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the mortgage loan and foreclose on the hotel secured by the mortgage. We are actively negotiating the terms of proposed forbearance agreements and waivers with those lenders similar to waivers we have obtained from lenders secured by other hotel properties.

Total future mortgage debt maturities for the remaining nine and twelve-month periods, without respect to any extension of loan maturity or loan modification after March 31, 2020, were as follows:

For the nine months ending December 31, 2020	$	4,755,367

The property has been rebranded as The Whitehall. On July 31, 2017, we allowed the franchise agreement on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto to expire. The property has been rebranded as The DeSoto and operates as an independent hotel. Each of our franchise agreements provides for early termination fees in the event the agreement is terminated before the stated term.

Restricted Cash Reserves – Each month, we are required to escrow with the lenders on the Hotel Ballast, The DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, and the Georgian Terrace an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real estate taxes due for the properties.

Sotherly agreed to provide Our Town with initial working capital of up to $1.0 million as an advance on the management fees that we will owe to Our Town under the OTH Hotel Management Agreements. The advanced funds will be offset against future management fees otherwise payable to Our Town by means of a 25% reduction in such fees each month during 2020.

10. Retirement Plans

401(k) Plan - We maintain a 401(k) plan for qualified employees which is subject to “safe harbor” provisions and which requires that we match 100.0% of the first 3.0% of employee contributions and 50.0% of the next 2.0% of employee contributions. All employer matching funds vest immediately in accordance with the “safe harbor” provision. Contributions to the plan totaled $32,853 and $27,861 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan in December 2016, effective January 1, 2016. The ESOP is a non-contributory defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company. The Company sponsors and maintains the ESOP and related trust for the benefit of its eligible employees. The ESOP is a leveraged ESOP, meaning funds are loaned to the ESOP from the Company. The Company entered into a loan agreement with the ESOP on December 29, 2016, pursuant to which the ESOP may borrow up to $5.0 million to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market, which serve as collateral for the loan. Between January 3, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the Company’s ESOP purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock of an aggregate cost of $4.9 million.

Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as contributions are made to the ESOP by the Company. The share allocations will be accounted for at fair value at the date of allocation. As of March 31, 2020, the ESOP had purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market for approximately $4.9 million, which the ESOP borrowed from the Company pursuant to the loan agreement. A total of 114,377 and 78,719 shares with a fair value of $183,002 and $536,076 remained allocated or committed to be released from the suspense account as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recognized as compensation cost $56,516 and $66,093 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The remaining 565,111 unallocated shares have an approximate fair value of $0.9 million, as of March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020, the ESOP held a total of 104,625 allocated shares, 9,752 committed-to-be-released shares and 565,111 suspense shares. Dividends on allocated and unallocated shares are used to pay down the ESOP loan from the Operating Partnership. The share allocations are accounted for at fair value on the date of allocation as follows:

	March 31, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Number of Shares		Fair Value		Number of Shares		Fair Value
Allocated shares		104,625	$	167,400		66,295	$	449,480

13. Loss Per Share and Per Unit

Loss 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 partner and following our 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 loss would also be added back to net loss. The shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company, except upon the occurrence of a change of control and have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no impact on the current controlling stockholders. The non-committed, unearned ESOP shares are treated as reducing the number of issued and outstanding common shares and similarly reducing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The allocated and committed to be released shares have been included in the weighted average diluted earnings per share calculation since there would be an antidilutive effect from the dilution by these shares, although the amount of compensation for allocated shares is reflected in net loss available to common stockholder for basic computation. There are no ESOP units, therefore there is no dilution on the calculation of earnings per unit. The computation of basic and diluted net loss per share is presented below.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Information included and incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our current strategies, expectations, and future plans are generally identified by our use of words, such as “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “opportunity,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements.

Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from the Company’s forward-looking statements is the potential increased adverse effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows, the real estate market and the hospitality industry specifically, and the global economy and financial markets. The significance, extent and duration of the impacts caused by the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the extent and effectiveness of the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the Company’s ability to negotiate forbearance and/or modifications agreements with its lenders on acceptable terms, or at all, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19. Such additional factors include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to effectively acquire and dispose of properties; the ability of the Company to implement its operating strategy; changes in general political, economic and competitive conditions and specific market conditions; reduced business and leisure travel due to travel-related health concerns, including the widespread outbreak of COVID-19 or any other infectious or contagious diseases in the U.S. or abroad; adverse changes in the real estate and real estate capital markets; financing risks; litigation risks; regulatory proceedings or inquiries; and changes in laws or regulations or interpretations of current laws and regulations that impact the Company’s business, assets or classification as a REIT. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. Additional factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

•

national and local economic and business conditions that affect occupancy rates and revenues at our hotels and the demand for hotel products and services;

•

the adverse effect of the novel coronavirus on the U.S., regional and global economies, travel, the hospitality industry, and the financial condition and results of operation of the Company;

•

risks associated with civil unrest or disorder that could adversely impact demand for hotel rooms in our markets or result in damage to our hotels;

•

risks associated with the hotel industry, including competition and new supply of hotel rooms, increases in wages, energy costs and other operating costs;

•

risks associated with adverse weather conditions, including hurricanes;

•

the availability and terms of financing and capital and the general volatility of the securities markets;

•

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 or modify such debt agreements;

•

management and performance of our hotels;

•

risks associated with maintaining our system of internal controls;

•

risks associated with the conflicts of interest of the Company’s officers and directors;

•

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

•

supply and demand for hotel rooms in our current and proposed market areas;

•

risks associated with our ability to maintain our franchise agreements with our third party franchisors; and

•

our ability to maintain adequate insurance coverage.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements are set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in this report and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statement contained in this report or incorporated by reference herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. We undertake no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this report, except as required by law.

Overview

Sotherly Hotels Inc. is a self-managed and self-administered lodging REIT incorporated in Maryland in August 2004 to pursue opportunities in the full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale segments of the hotel industry located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and southern United States. Substantially all of the assets of Sotherly Hotels Inc. are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering and thereafter consummated the acquisition of the Initial Properties.

Our hotel portfolio currently consists of twelve full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels, comprising 3,156 rooms, as well as interests in two condominium hotels and their associated rental programs. The Company owns hotels that operate under well-known brands such as DoubleTree by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Sheraton and Hyatt Centric, as well as independent hotels. We sometimes refer to our independent and soft-branded properties as our collection of boutique hotels. As of March 31, 2020, our portfolio consisted of the following hotel properties:

Reflects only those condominium units that were participating in the rental program as of March 31, 2020. At any given time, some portion of the units participating in our rental program may be occupied by the unit owner(s) and unavailable for rental to hotel guests. We sometimes refer to each participating condominium unit as a “room.”

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 92.3% interest in our Operating Partnership, as of the date of this filing, with the remaining interest being held by limited partners who were the contributors of our Initial Properties and related assets.

To qualify as a REIT, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership can operate our hotels. Therefore, our wholly-owned hotel properties are leased to our MHI TRS Entities, which are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Our MHI TRS Entities then engage eligible independent hotel management companies to operate the hotels under a management agreement. Our MHI TRS Entities have engaged Our Town and Highgate Hotels to manage our hotels. Our MHI TRS Entities, and their parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into each of our financial statements for accounting purposes. The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and the virus has continued to spread throughout the United States and the world. As a result of this pandemic and subsequent government mandates and health official recommendations, hotel demand has been significantly reduced. Following the government mandates and health official recommendations, we significantly reduced operations at all of our hotels, temporarily suspended operations of our hotel condominium rental programs and dramatically reduced staffing and expenses. All of our hotels other than the rental programs at our condominium hotels have remained open on a limited basis in order to serve the needs of the community. The Company expects that maintaining the current limited operations will allow us to increase capacity at individual hotels as demand returns and the CDC and state guidelines allow for an easing of travel and other business restrictions, provided we can be confident that occupancy levels and reduced social distancing will not unduly jeopardize the health and safety of guests, employees and communities.

COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the Company’s operations and financial results both during the first quarter and in the period following, including a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations. While the full impact of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic, the contraction of operations at our hotels and other effects are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we expect significant negative impacts on our operations and financial results to continue until travel and business restrictions are eased, stay-at-home directives are lifted, consumer confidence is restored and an economic recovery commences. At a minimum, Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic to have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow through 2020. In response to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, we have taken the following health and safety and cost-reduction measures at the property and corporate levels:

•

In coordination with our management company partners, we implemented aggressive cost control measures at the property level, including significantly reduced operating expenses and curtailed food & beverage operations.

•

We suspended most planned capital expenditure projects other than replacement of vital building systems approaching the end of their useful life.

•

We reduced expenses at the corporate level, including immediate reductions in compensation and benefits of all corporate staff as well as anticipated bonuses and the voluntary waiver by the Company’s board of directors of its director fees for one quarter.

•

Suspending our regular quarterly cash common stock dividends in order to preserve liquidity.

•

Entered into various forbearance and loan modification agreements regarding payments of principal and interest required under our loan agreements. Refer to Note 1, Note 5 and Note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information on the forbearance agreements with our lenders and current negotiations.

•

Deferring payment of the dividends for our Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock.

•

We also began discussions with our lenders regarding relief from financial covenants for current and future periods – especially those where failure to satisfy those covenants is an “Event of Default”.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased economic uncertainty and led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of, and limit accessibility to, capital. Despite the cost reduction initiatives discussed above, we do not expect to be able to fully, or even materially, offset revenue losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the negative impacts of the pandemic and the ongoing market uncertainty, we applied for and received aggregate proceeds of approximately $10.7 million under the federal Paycheck Protection Program provided in Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act of 1953, as amended by the CARES Act.

Tampa addressing the noncompliance, subject to certain conditions described in Note 5 to the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report. However, following March 31, 2020, we failed to make principal or interest payments under the mortgages secured by our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach and Hyatt Centric Arlington hotels, each of which constituted an Event of Default and resulted in an automatic increase in the interest rate on the outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default persists. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable mortgage loan and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans and the lenders under our Hilton Hollywood Beach and Hyatt Centric Arlington mortgages have that right. If either lender were to accelerate the payment of principal and interest on the applicable mortgage, we would likely not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We are actively negotiating terms of proposed forbearance agreements and waivers with those lenders similar to those we have obtained from lenders secured by our other hotel properties.

The duration of the disruption on global, national and local economies cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. However, as long as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue, our future business operations, including the results of operations, cash flows and financial position will be significantly affected. We believe it is probable that over the course of the next four quarters we will fail to satisfy additional financial covenants in several of our mortgage loan agreements, some of which are already the subject of waivers, forbearance agreements or loan modification arrangements with our lenders. If we fail to obtain additional waivers, forbearance arrangements, or loan modifications, our lenders could declare us in default and require repayment of the outstanding balance on the mortgage loan. If that were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We believe we will be successful in obtaining waivers, forbearance arrangements or loan modifications but cannot provide assurance we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

Because any forbearance agreements, loan modifications or waivers would be granted at the sole discretion of the lenders, we have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. U.S. GAAP requires that in making this determination, we cannot consider future fundraising activities, whether through equity or debt offerings or dispositions of hotel properties, or the likelihood of obtaining forbearance agreements or covenant waivers, all of which are outside of the Company's control. Management believes that prospectively obtaining forbearance agreements, loan modifications and waivers from our lenders may remove the reason for the determination of substantial doubt. However, any such concession may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other possible lender protections. In addition to or in lieu of obtaining waivers as described above, we believe we could raise additional funds, if needed, through a combination of hotel dispositions or debt or equity financings.

Key Operating Metrics

In the hotel industry, room revenue is considered the most important category of revenue and drives other revenue categories such as food, beverage, catering, parking, 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.

RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (such as housekeeping services, laundry, utilities, room supplies, franchise fees, management fees, credit card commissions and reservations expense), but could also result in increased non-room revenue from the hotel’s restaurant, banquet or parking facilities. Changes in RevPAR that are primarily driven by changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not generate all of the additional variable operating costs associated with higher occupancy.

When calculating composite portfolio metrics, we include available rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences that participate in our rental program and are not reserved for owner-occupancy.

We also use FFO, Adjusted FFO and Hotel EBITDA as measures of our operating performance. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Results of Operations

The following tables illustrate the key operating metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for the Company’s wholly-owned properties (“actual” portfolio metrics), as well as eleven wholly-owned properties in the portfolio that were under the Company’s control during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the corresponding period in 2019 (“same-store”

portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the actual data does not include the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences or the Hyde Beach House, and the same-store data does not reflect the performance of our interests in the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House. The composite portfolio metrics represent all of the Company’s wholly-owned properties and the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the corresponding periods in 2019. As of March 31, 2019, there were no participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Beach House.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately $10.2 million, or 21.5%, to approximately $37.2 million compared to total revenue of approximately $47.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, resulted mainly from eleven of our hotel properties affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting reduction of travel by group business, event holders and conferences, transient consumers, along with the reduction of foreign travelers due to the closing of U.S. borders and closing of local businesses. These factors contributed to a reduction in revenue of approximately $11.1 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019. Our Tampa, Florida hotel and recently acquired Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences in Hollywood, Florida were the only properties with increases in revenues of approximately $0.9 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019.

Room revenue decreased approximately $8.2 million, or 24.9%, to approximately $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to room revenue of approximately $32.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in room revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from all of our properties being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting reduction of hotel occupancy.

Food and beverage revenues decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 16.2%, to approximately $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to food and beverage revenues of approximately $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in food and beverage revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from ten of our properties which were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting reduction of hotel occupancy, with a corresponding reduction in food and beverage revenue of approximately $2.0 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019. Our Tampa, Florida and Houston, Texas hotels were the only properties with increases in food and beverage revenues of approximately $0.4 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019.

Revenue from other operating departments decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 8.4%, to approximately $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to revenue from other operating departments of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in other operating departments revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from nine of our hotel properties affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting reduction of hotel occupancy, with a corresponding reduction in other operating departments revenue of approximately $1.1 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019. Our Wilmington, North Carolina, Tampa, Florida and Hollywood, Florida hotels and the recently acquired Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences in Hollywood, Florida were the only properties with increases in other operating departments revenue of approximately $0.7 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, indirect expenses and management fees, decreased approximately $2.1 million, or 6.1%, to approximately $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an decrease of approximately $2.1 million, or 6.0%, compared to total hotel operating expenses of approximately $34.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in hotel operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from eleven of our properties affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting

reduction of hotel occupancy, with a reduction in hotel operating expenses by approximately $3.9 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019. Our Hollywood, Florida, Tampa, Florida and Louisville, Kentucky hotels and the recently acquired Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences in Hollywood, Florida were the only properties with increases in hotel operating expenses of approximately $1.8 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019.

Rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately $0.7 million, or 9.0%, to approximately $7.1 million compared to rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $7.8 million. The decrease in rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from ten of our properties affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting reduction of hotel occupancy, with a reduction in rooms expense by approximately $0.8 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019. Our Tampa, Florida and Louisville, Kentucky hotels were the only properties with increases in rooms expense of approximately $0.1 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019.

Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately $0.5 million, or 7.3%, to approximately $6.6 million compared to food and beverage expenses of approximately $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The net decrease in food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from seven of our properties affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting reduction of hotel occupancy, with a reduction in food and beverage expense by approximately $0.9 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019. Five of our hotel properties had increases in food and beverage expenses of approximately $0.4 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019.

Expenses from other operating departments increased approximately $0.4 million, or 18.9%, to approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to expenses from other operating departments of approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in expenses from other operating departments for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from our Tampa, Florida and Arlington, Virginia hotels and the recently acquired Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences in Hollywood, Florida, with an increase of other operating departments expense by approximately $0.6 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019. Offsetting decreases resulted mainly from eleven of our properties affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting reduction of hotel occupancy, with decreases in other operating departments expenses of approximately $0.2 million, compared to the same period ending March 31, 2019.

Indirect expenses at our wholly-owned properties for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 6.9%, to approximately $16.2 million compared to indirect expenses of approximately $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in indirect expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted mainly from eleven properties with decreases in management fees, sales and marketing, franchise fees, repairs and maintenance, energy and utilities, information and communications and other indirect of approximately $2.3 million. There was also an aggregate increase in indirect expenses of approximately $1.1 million from our Hollywood, Florida, Louisville, Kentucky hotels and the recently acquired Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences in Hollywood, Florida property.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately $1.0 million, or 17.3%, to approximately $5.0 million compared to depreciation and amortization of approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in depreciation was mainly related to our properties in Philadelphia, Tampa, Florida and Atlanta Georgia from prior year changes in estimated useful lives and disposals, with a decrease of approximately $1.2 million. There was also an aggregate increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.2 million from our remaining properties.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased approximately $0.2 million, or 11.6%, to approximately $1.9 million compared to corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses was mainly due to increased legal and professional fees by approximately $0.2 million.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately $0.7 million, or 14.0%, to approximately $4.6 million, as compared to interest expense of approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was substantially related to the reduction of the 7.25% unsecured notes, which accounted for a decrease of approximately $0.5 million compared to the three-month period ending March 31, 2019.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $38,931, or 39.2%, to $60,365 compared to interest income of $99,296 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is due to lower amounts of interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents held during the three-month period ending March 31, 2020 compared to the three-month period ending March 31, 2019.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Hedging Activities. As of March 31, 2020, the fair market value of our interest rate caps is $1,761 and the fair market value of our interest rate swap liability is approximately $3.6 million. The unrealized loss on hedging activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, was approximately $1.6 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the unrealized gain on hedging activities was approximately $0.5 million.

Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Assets. Gain on involuntary conversion of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately $0.1 million to $12,439 compared to $161,334 gain on involuntary conversion of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During September 2019, we had mechanical failure and flooding damage from failure of the sewer system resulting in damage to the boiler at The DeSoto property with a one-time involuntary conversion in the amount of approximately $0.1 million during the current period.

Income Taxes. We had an income tax provision of approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to an income tax provision of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The income tax provision was primarily derived from a reduction of our deferred tax assets and through the establishment of a valuation allowance of approximately $5.4 million. Our MHI TRS Entities realized operating losses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Net Loss. We realized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of approximately $13.3 million compared to a net loss of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, because of the operating results discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to be key supplemental measures of our performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of our performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by U.S. GAAP or amounts available for our discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP.

FFO and Adjusted FFO. Industry analysts and investors use FFO as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition 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 U.S. GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

We consider FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe 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.

We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, operating asset depreciation and amortization, change in control gains or losses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of Adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

FFO per common share and unit	$	(0.68	)	$	0.26

Adjusted FFO per common share and unit	$	(0.23	)	$	0.31

EBITDA. We believe that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.

Hotel EBITDA. We define Hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) equity in the income or loss of equity investees, (5) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (6) gains and losses on disposal of assets, (7) realized gains and losses on investments, (8) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) gains or losses on change in control, (11) gain on exercise of development right, (12) corporate general and administrative expense, (13) depreciation and amortization, (14) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (15) distributions to preferred stockholders and (16) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio. We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control. We believe Hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.

Our calculation of Hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Hotel EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash are net cash flow from hotel operations, sale of common and preferred stock, debt financing and proceeds from hotel dispositions. Our principal uses of cash are acquisition of hotel properties, improvements to hotel properties, debt service, share repurchases operating costs, corporate expenses and distributions to holders of common and preferred shares (and units). As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $14.7 million of unrestricted cash and $7.3 million of restricted cash.

Operating Activities. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was approximately $1.5 million generally consisting of net cash flow from hotel operations, offset by cash paid for corporate expenses and changes in working capital.

Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we used approximately $1.8 million on capital expenditures which related to the routine replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Operating Partnership received a payment on its loan to the Company in the amount of approximately $0.1 million.

Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid dividends to holders of its common and preferred shares of approximately $4.2 million. The Operating Partnership made distributions to holders of its common and preferred units of approximately $4.3 million. The Company and Operating Partnership also made payments of deferred financing costs of approximately $0.1 million and made principal payments on its mortgages of approximately $1.4 million.

Capital Expenditures

We intend to maintain all of our hotels, including any hotel we acquire in the future, in good repair and condition, in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and, when applicable, with franchisor’s standards. Routine capital improvements are determined through the annual budget process over which we maintain approval rights, and which are implemented or administered by our management companies.

From time to time, certain of our hotel properties may undergo renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotel, such as guestrooms, meeting space and restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels in our markets. In addition, we may be required by a franchisor to complete a property improvement program (“PIP”) in order to bring the hotel up to the franchisor’s standards. Generally, we expect to fund renovations and improvements out of working capital, including restricted cash, proceeds of mortgage debt or equity offerings.

Historically, we have aimed to maintain overall capital expenditures, except for those required by our franchisors as a condition to a franchise license or license renewal, at 4.0% of gross revenue. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we postponed all major non-essential capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures to be approximately $3.6 million for 2020 and will continue to evaluate our needs for replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on hotel demand, our liquidity and the overall economic environment.

We expect capital expenditures for the recurring replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at certain of our properties will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts. Reserve accounts are escrowed accounts with funds deposited

monthly and reserved for capital improvements or expenditures with respect to all of our hotels. We are required by our loan agreements to deposit an amount equal to 4.0% of gross revenue for The DeSoto, the Hotel Ballast, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University, The Whitehall, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach and the Georgian Terrace, as well as 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport and Hyatt Centric Arlington on a monthly basis, except as provided in the forbearance agreements agreed to by our lenders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the Company's operations and financial results both during the first quarter and in the period following, including a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations. While the full financial impact of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic, contraction of operations at our hotels and other effects are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we expect significant negative impacts on our operations and financial results to continue until travel and business restrictions are eased, stay-at-home directives are lifted, consumer confidence is restored and an economic recovery commences. At a minimum, the Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow through 2020. In response to these negative impacts, we took a number of actions to reduce costs and preserve liquidity as described in this Quarterly Report and the accompanying notes to financial statements. The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased economic uncertainty and led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of, and limit accessibility to, capital.

As of March 31, 2020, we had total cash of approximately $22.1 million. As described in “-- Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business” above, we borrowed an aggregate amount of approximately $10.7 million in PPP Loans and have sought forbearances and loan modifications with the lenders under the loan agreements secured by our hotels. Two of our property-level loan agreements are currently operating under an Event of Default and the lenders under those loans could accelerate the payment of principal and interest on those mortgages. We are actively negotiating terms of proposed forbearance agreements, waivers loan modifications for those mortgages as well as other loan agreements under which we are likely to trigger a default in over the next four quarters if the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business continue. If we fail to obtain additional waivers, forbearance arrangements or loan modifications, our lenders could declare us in default and require repayment of the outstanding balance on the mortgage loan. If that were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We believe we will be successful in obtaining necessary waivers, forbearance arrangements and loan modifications from our mortgage lenders but cannot provide assurance we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

In addition, certain of our loan agreements also contain cash trap provisions that we expect will be triggered as the performance of our hotel properties secured by those agreements decline. As those provisions are triggered, substantially all of the cash flow generated by those hotel properties is deposited into a lock box account and swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of the respective lenders. This could affect our liquidity until such time the cash trap is no longer in effect.

We intend to meet our liquidity requirements resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, for hotel property acquisitions, property redevelopment, investments in new joint ventures, the retirement of maturing mortgage debt, and other debt maturities, through:

•

new issuances of common and/or preferred shares,

•

issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership,

•

secured and unsecured borrowings,

•

partial or total disposition of hotel properties,

•

the selective disposition of non-core assets,

•

cash on hand, and

•

other types of transactions.

Other than monthly mortgage loan principal payments, we do not have any upcoming mortgage debt obligations that are scheduled to mature in 2020. We have approximately $8.1 million in mortgage loan principal obligations maturing in August 2021, which relates to the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel, after accounting anticipated reductions in future monthly principal payments. If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue through the second quarter of 2021, we expect that additional capital will be required in order to repay that mortgage when it comes due.

Subject to availability of capital, we intend to continue to invest in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital through other sources. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity. From time to time and subject to market conditions, we may also seek to refinance mortgage debt prior to maturity where appropriate. We remain committed to a flexible capital structure and strive to maintain prudent debt leverage.

Financial Covenants

Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loan agreements contain various financial covenants. Failure to comply with these financial covenants could result from, among other things, changes in the local competitive environment, general economic conditions and disruption caused by renovation activity or major weather disturbances.

If we violate the financial covenants contained in these agreements, we may attempt to negotiate waivers of the violations or amend the terms of the applicable mortgage loan agreement with the lender; however, we can make no assurance that we would be successful in any such negotiation or that, if successful in obtaining waivers or amendments, such waivers or amendments would be on attractive terms. Some mortgage loan agreements provide alternate cure provisions which may allow us to otherwise comply with the financial covenants by obtaining an appraisal of the hotel, prepaying a portion of the outstanding indebtedness or by providing cash collateral until such time as the financial covenants are met by the collateralized property without consideration of the cash collateral. Alternate cure provisions which include prepaying a portion of the outstanding indebtedness or providing cash collateral may have a material impact on our liquidity.

If we are unable to negotiate a waiver or amendment or satisfy alternate cure provisions, if any, or unable to meet any alternate cure requirements and a default were to occur, we would possibly have to refinance the debt through additional debt financing, private or public offerings of debt securities, or additional equity financing.

As described in “-- Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business” and “--Liquidity and Capital Resources” above, two of our property-level loan agreements are currently operating under an Event of Default and the lenders under those mortgage loans could accelerate the payment of principal and interest on those mortgages. In addition, certain of our loan agreements operate under cash trap provisions, which could negatively impact our ability to access future cash flows from those properties as described in “--Liquidity and Capital Resources” above. Note 5 and Note 14 to the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report describe forbearances, waivers and loan modification arrangements we have negotiated with our mortgage lenders to address the existing and expected failure to meet certain covenants under our mortgage loans. We intend to continue to seek waiver, forbearances and loan modifications from the lenders under our mortgage loans for so long as the effects of the COVID-19 continue to impact our business.

Dividend Policy

As approved by its board of directors and announced on March 17, 2020, the Company has suspended its regular quarterly cash common stock dividends in order to preserve liquidity as a result of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. The amount of future common stock (and Operating Partnership unit) 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 and other factors, which the Company’s board of directors deems relevant. The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors deemed relevant by our directors, and no assurance can be given that our distribution policy will not change in the future. As previously announced, the record date for the dividends on the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock that were to be paid April 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2020 have each been cancelled and the payment of dividends on all classes of the Company’s preferred stock has been deferred. The Company may not make distributions with respect to any shares of its common stock, unless and until full cumulative distributions on the outstanding preferred stock for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside.

In January 2019, we authorized a quarterly dividend (distribution) of $0.125 per common share (and unit).

In April 2019, we increased the quarterly dividend (distribution) to $0.13 per common share (and unit).

In July 2019, we authorized a quarterly dividend (distribution) of $0.13 per common share (and unit).

In October 2019, we authorized a quarterly dividend (distribution) of $0.13 per common share (and unit).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Inflation

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our MHI TRS Entities and net income from the operations of our MHI TRS Entities. Therefore, we rely primarily on the performance of the individual properties and the ability of the 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 the 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.

Geographic Concentration and Seasonality

Our hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse market conditions in these geographic areas, including industry downturns, relocation of businesses, local stay-at-home and business closure orders, and any oversupply of hotel rooms or a reduction in lodging demand. Adverse economic developments in the markets in which we have a concentration of hotels, or in any of the other markets in which we operate, or any increase in hotel supply or decrease in lodging demand resulting from the local, regional or national business climate, could materially and adversely affect us.

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 hotels located in certain markets, namely Florida and Texas, which typically experience significant room demand during this period. These patterns have been disrupted by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and we expect that disruption to continue throughout 2020 at a minimum.

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, which were acquired from third parties, contributed to us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, 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 the 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 permanent 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 a recoverability analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities and the estimated proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are found to be less than the carrying amount of the hotel property, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss is recognized.

There were no charges for impairment of hotel properties recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In performing the recoverability analysis, we project future operating cash flows based upon significant assumptions regarding growth rates, occupancy, room rates, economic trends, property-specific operating costs and future capital expenditures required to maintain the hotel in its current operating condition. We also project cash flows from the eventual disposition of the hotel based upon various factors including property-specific capitalization rates, ratio of selling price to gross hotel revenues and the selling price per room.

Revenue Recognition. Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage and other hotel revenues, are 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. Revenues are

reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Receivables for amounts earned under various contracts are subject to audit.

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 MHI TRS Entities, we have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2020 to $0. We regularly evaluate the likelihood that our MHI TRS Entities will be able to realize its deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2020, we determined, based on all available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable income will not be available during the carryforward periods to absorb all of the consolidated federal and state net operating loss carryforward.

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. From time to time we may enter into 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, 2020, we had approximately $309.0 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237% and approximately $50.7 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.78%. 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 changes in 1-month LIBOR. Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgages on the Hotel Alba, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University and The Whitehall remains at approximately $50.7 million, the balance at March 31, 2020, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.5 million.

As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately $310.2 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237% and approximately $50.8 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.78%. 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 changes in 1-month LIBOR. Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgages on the Hotel Alba, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone and the mortgage on The Whitehall remained at approximately $50.8 million, the balance at December 31, 2019, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.5 million.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Sotherly Hotels Inc.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, its disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter

how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Sotherly Hotels Inc. have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Sotherly Hotels Inc.’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 Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

Sotherly Hotels LP

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Operating Partnership’s management, under the supervision and participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Operating Partnership’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Sotherly Hotels LP have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Sotherly Hotels LP’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 Sotherly Hotels LP’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Sotherly Hotels LP’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any material legal proceedings, nor to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us. We are involved in routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business most of which is expected to be covered by insurance, and none of which is expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or 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, 2019.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance could be long-lasting and severe.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 throughout the world, classified by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, is a rapidly evolving situation, has disrupted global travel and supply chains, and has adversely impacted global commercial activity across many industries. Due to travel restrictions in the U.S. and around world, the travel and hospitality industries are particularly facing tremendous drains on resources. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, significant adverse impacts on economic and market conditions and global economic contraction. The rapid development and fluidity of pandemic situations precludes any prediction as to the scale and scope of the ultimate adverse impact and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future pandemic outbreak. There also can be no guarantee that the demand for lodging, and consumer confidence in travel generally, will recover as quickly as other industries.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hotel industry are unprecedented with global demand for lodging drastically reduced and occupancy levels reaching historic lows. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced a severe decline in occupancy and, in turn, revenue. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing we cannot predict the full extent and duration of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, although the longer and more severe the pandemic, the greater the material adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, the market price of our common shares, our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, our access to credit markets and our ability to service our indebtedness.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

From time to time, the Operating Partnership issues limited partnership units to the Company, as required by the Partnership Agreement, to mirror the capital structure of the Company to reflect additional issuances by the Company and to preserve equitable ownership ratios.

Item 3.

Defaults upon Senior Securities

Preferred Stock

The Company’s distribution on the shares of the Series B Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, and Series D Preferred Shares are in arrears for two quarterly periods. When distributions on any shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Company’s preferred stock shall be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional directors of the Company, at a special meeting or at the next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of the stockholders until full cumulative distributions for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside. In addition, the Company may not make distributions with respect to any shares of its common stock, unless and until full cumulative distributions on the preferred stock for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside.

The Company announced that it was deferring payment of Sotherly’s previously announced dividends for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock for the period ending March 31, 2020 and payment of Sotherly’s dividends for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock for the period ending June 30, 2020. The relevant distributions were as follows:

•

A regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of beneficial interest of the Series B Preferred Stock;

•

A regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.4921875 per share of beneficial interest of the Series C Preferred Stock; and

•

A quarterly cash dividend of $0.515625 per share of beneficial interest of the Series D Preferred Stock.

The total arrearage of unpaid cash dividend due on each of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock through June 23, 2020 is $805,000, $765,160 and $618,750, respectively.

Mortgage Debt

As of the date of filing, we failed to make principal or interest payments under the mortgages secured by our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach (the “Hollywood Mortgage”) and Hyatt Centric Arlington hotels (the “Arlington Mortgage”), each of which constituted an Event of Default. Pursuant to the terms of each of the Hollywood Mortgage and Arlington Mortgage loan agreements, such Event of Default may cause an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default persists. Following an Event of Default, our lenders under each of the Hollywood Mortgage and the Arlington Mortgage can elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable mortgage loan and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans. If either lender were to accelerate the payment of principal and interest on the applicable mortgage, we would likely not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We are actively negotiating terms of proposed forbearance agreements and waivers with those lenders similar to those we have obtained from lenders secured by our other hotel properties.

The principal amount on the Hollywood Mortgage is $55,878,089. The arrearage of unpaid scheduled principal and interest due on this loan through June 23, 2020 is $956,731.

The principal amount on the Arlington Mortgage is $48,990,136. The arrearage of unpaid scheduled principal and interest due on this loan through June 23, 2020 is $828,306.
