MHI HOSPITALITY CORPORATION AND PREDECESSOR

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

 

MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-advised real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service Upper Upscale and Midscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States. Our hotels operate under well-known national hotel brands such as Hilton and Holiday Inn. The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (“initial properties”). The Company utilized part of its net proceeds to repay approximately $25.0 million of mortgage indebtedness secured by the initial properties and paid an additional $16.9 million in cash related to the acquisition of the properties. Accordingly, the Company had approximately $12.9 million available in cash immediately following its formation.

 

The IPO consisted of the sale of 6,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $60 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses) of approximately $54.8 million. On December 21, 2004 the Company issued 4,000 shares of common stock to its independent directors. On January 19, 2005, the Company sold an additional 700,000 shares of common stock at a price of $9.30 per share, net of the underwriting discount, as a result of the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, resulting in additional net proceeds of approximately $6.5 million. The total net proceeds from the IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option were approximately $61.3 million.

 

The Company contributed all of the net proceeds from the IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to MHI Hospitality, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for an approximate 63.7% general and limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of January 19, 2005. The Operating Partnership used approximately $42.1 million of the net proceeds from the Company, along with 3,817,036 units of limited partner interest, to acquire all of the equity interests in the entities that own or lease the initial properties.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which is owned 63.7% by the Company as of January 19, 2005, leases its hotels to a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages a hotel management company to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of MHI Hospitality Corporation as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, this report includes the financial statements of MHI Hotels Services Group (“MHI HSG”), which is not a legal entity, but rather a combination of three hotels that were owned by various limited liability companies and a limited liability partnership that were controlled by affiliates of MHI Hotels Services, LLC (“MHI Hotels Services”) all of which were acquired by the Company concurrent with the completion of the IPO on December 21, 2004. MHI HSG is considered the predecessor to the Company for accounting purposes. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations require the inclusion of the predecessor for the periods prior to the Company’s commencement of operations. The predecessor statements of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 include the operations of MHI HSG on a historical cost basis.

 

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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

 

Restricted Cash – Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows and reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment pursuant to certain requirements in the Company’s mortgage agreement with MMA Realty Capital, Inc. (MMA) (formerly the Mutual of New York Life Insurance Company). MMA holds the mortgages on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside and the Hilton Savannah DeSoto.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and mortgage loans. Due to their short maturities, or in the case of mortgage loans, interest rates in line with current interest rates, these financial instruments are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate fair value.

 

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties are recorded at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures under a renovation project which constitute additions or improvements which 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 15 to 40 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

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

 

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 June 30, 2005 were $222,145. Amortization expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $5,625 and $11,250, respectively.

 

Minority Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties have been acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The minority 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 minority interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus other potentially dilutive securities. The outstanding Operating Partnership units (which may be converted to common shares) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on reported diluted earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.21. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculations was 6,630,519.

 

Stock-based Compensation – The Company does not provide stock-based employee compensation.

 

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

 

Segment Information – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), requires public entities to report certain information about operating segments. Based on the guidance provided in SFAS 131, the Company has determined that its business is conducted in one reportable segment, hotel ownership.

 

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

 

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the predecessor financial statements to conform to the Company’s presentation.

 

3. Acquisition of Hotel Properties

 

There were no new acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Line of Credit - On December 31, 2004 the Company established a Line of Credit with Branch Banking & Trust Company (BB&T) in the amount of $23,000,000. It bears a variable rate of LIBOR plus two and one half percent (2.50%). On June 30, 2005, LIBOR was 3.30%. The primary collateral for the credit facility is a first mortgage on the Holiday Inn Brownstone and the Hilton Philadelphia Airport, and a lien on all business assets of those properties including, but not limited to, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, furniture, fixtures and proceeds thereof. Under the terms of the BB&T line of credit, the Company must satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants. As of June 30, 2005 the Company was in compliance with all of the required covenants. Failure to satisfy these conditions and covenants would create a default under this credit facility, and the lender could require the Company to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the facility. The line had a balance of zero ($0.00) as of June 30, 2005. The Company intends to use the Line of Credit for working capital and capital acquisitions as deemed appropriate by the Directors of the Company.

 

Mortgage Loans - The Company assumed existing mortgage debt with MMA Realty Capital, Inc. (formerly the Mutual of New York Life Insurance Company) that was in place on two of the initial properties.

 

On September 25, 1998 Savannah Hotel Associates, LLC obtained a mortgage loan in the amount of $12.8 million to refinance the mortgage at the Savannah DeSoto Hilton hotel. The loan is secured by the Savannah DeSoto Hilton hotel and its maturity date is November 1, 2008. Loan principal and interest payments are due monthly, with fixed principal payments plus interest amortized over a twenty (20) year schedule. Interest is based on a fixed rate of 7.49%. Savannah Hotel Associates, LLC recorded deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million related to obtaining the mortgage loan. The outstanding balance due on the loan as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $10,408,031 and $10,631,774, respectively.

 

On February 12, 1998 Capitol Hotel Associates, LP, LLP obtained a mortgage loan in the amount of $13.0 million to refinance the mortgage at the Wilmington Riverside Hilton hotel. On October 19, 1999 Capitol Hotel Associates, LP, LLP obtained a promissory note in the amount of $4.25 million upon completion of construction of renovations. The debt was consolidated into one instrument and is secured by the Wilmington Riverside Hilton hotel and its maturity date is March 1, 2008. Loan principal and interest payments are due monthly, with fixed principal payments and interest payments amortized over a twenty (20) year schedule. Interest is based on a fixed rate of 8.22%. Capitol Hotel Associates, LP, LLP recorded deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million related to obtaining the mortgage loan. The outstanding balance due on the loan as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $14,787,820 and $15,053,575, respectively.

6. Capital Stock

 

Common Shares – The Company is authorized to issue up to 49,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive distributions when authorized by the Company’s board of directors out of assets legally available for the payment of distributions.

 

On December 21, 2004, the Company completed its IPO and sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $60 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses) of approximately $54.8 million. On January 19, 2005, the Company sold an additional 700,000 shares of common stock at a price of $9.30 per share, net of the underwriting discount, as a result of the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, resulting in additional net proceeds of approximately $6.5 million. The total net proceeds generated from the IPO and the underwriters’ over-allotment was approximately $61.3 million. Also, on December 31, 2004 the Company issued 4,000 shares of common stock to its independent directors. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had 6,704,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Warrants – The Company has granted no warrants representing the right to purchase common stock.

The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or the stockholders of the Company. As of June 30, 2005, the total number of Operating Partnership units outstanding was 3,817,036.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Note Payable Related Party –On May 11, 2005, the Company repaid its indebtedness of $2,000,000 to MHI Hotels Services.

 

Shell Island Sublease – The Company has a sublease arrangement with MHI Hotels Services on its leasehold interests in the property at Shell Island. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company earned $320,000 in leasehold revenue.

 

Sublease of Office Space – The Company subleases office space in Greenbelt, MD from MHI Hotels Services. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, rent expense related to the sublease totalled $11,930.

 

Strategic Alliance Agreement - On December 21, 2004, the Company entered into a ten-year strategic alliance agreement with MHI Hotels Services that provides in part for the referral of acquisition opportunities to the Company and the management of our hotels by MHI Hotels Services.

 

Management Agreements – All of the six hotels that the Company owned at June 30, 2005 operate under a master management agreement with MHI Hotels Services. MHI Hotels Services receives a base management fee, and if the hotels meet and exceed certain thresholds, an additional incentive management fee. The base management fee for the hotels is 2.0% in 2005, rising to 2.5% in 2006 and 3.0% thereafter of total gross revenues from the hotels. The incentive management fee, if any, will be due annually in arrears within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year and will be equal to 10% of the amount by which the gross operating profit of the hotels, on an aggregate basis, for a given year exceeds the gross operating profit for the same hotels, on an aggregate basis, for the prior year. The incentive management fee may not exceed 0.25% of gross revenues of all of the hotels included in the incentive fee calculation. Due to the uncertainty related to the calculation of the incentive management fees, the Company has not accrued any related expense related to these fees as of June 30, 2005.

 

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company paid MHI Hotels Services approximately $0.227 million and $0.527 million, respectively, in management fees.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $0.15 million, primarily due to past year’s net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2024 if not utilized by then. The Company believes that is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and that no valuation allowance is required.

 

The entities comprising MHI Hotels Services Group operated as limited liability companies or limited liability partnerships and, as a result, were not subject to federal or state income taxation. Accordingly, no provision was made for federal or state income taxes in the predecessor financial statements.

 

9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Ground and Building Leases - The Company leases 2,086 square feet of commercial space next to the Savannah hotel property for use as an office, retail or conference space, or for any related or ancillary purposes for the hotel and/or atrium space. The space is leased under a six-year operating lease, which expires October 31, 2006. There is a renewal option for up to three five-year periods expiring October 31, 2011, October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company leases, as Landlord, the premises being the entire fourteenth floor to The Chatham Club, Inc. under a ninety-nine year lease expiring July 31, 2086. This lease was assumed upon the purchase of the building under the terms and conditions agreed to by the previous owner of the property. No rental income is recognized under the terms of this lease as the original lump sum rent payment of $990 was received by the previous owner and not prorated over the life of the lease.

 

The Company leases a parking lot adjacent to the Holiday Inn Brownstone in Raleigh, North Carolina. The land is leased under a second amendment, dated April 28, 1998, to a ground lease originally dated May 25, 1966. The original lease is a 50-year operating lease, which expires August 31, 2016. There is a renewal option for up to three additional ten-year periods expiring August 31, 2026, August 31, 2036, and August 31, 2046, respectively. The Company holds an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the leased land at fair market value at the end of the original lease term, subject to the payment of an annual fee of $9,000, and other conditions. Rent expense for this operating lease is $76,104 annually, and is expected to remain the same in 2005. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, rent expense was $19,026 and $38,052, respectively.

In conjunction with the sublease arrangement for the property at Shell Island, the Company incurs an annual lease expense for a leasehold interest other than the purchased leasehold interest. Lease expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 is $42,764 and $84,528, respectively.

 

Management Agreement – All of the six hotels that the Company owned at June 30, 2005 operate under a ten-year master management agreement with MHI Hotels Services which expires on December 31, 2014 (see Note 7).

 

Franchise Agreements – As of June 30, 2005, all of the Company’s six hotels operate under franchise licenses from national hotel companies. Under the franchise agreements, the Company is required to pay a franchise fee generally between 2.5% and 5.0% of room revenues, plus additional fees that amount to between 2.5% and 6.0% of room revenues from the hotels.

 

Restricted Cash Reserves – The Company is required to escrow with its lender on the Wilmington Riverside Hilton and the Savannah DeSoto Hilton an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual real estate taxes due for the properties. The Company is also required to establish a property improvement fund for each of these two hotels to cover the cost of replacing capital assets at the properties. Contributions to the property improvement fund are based on a percentage of gross revenues or receipts at each hotel equating to 5%.

 

Litigation – The Company is not involved in any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company.

 

10. Subsequent Events

 

On July 11, 2005, the Company paid the dividend for the second quarter of 2005 to those stockholders (unit holders) of record on June 15, 2005. The dividend was $0.17 per share (unit).

 

On July 11, 2005, the Company authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share (unit) to the stockholders and unit holders of record as of September 15, 2005. The dividend is to be paid October 11, 2005.

 

On July 22, 2005, the Company closed on the purchase of the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront. The purchase price of $22.0 million was funded in part by an $18.0 million five-year mortgage loan from an affiliate of the seller as well as the issuance of additional units in the operating partnership to a related party in consideration of its contribution of certain tangible assets and contractual rights. The loan, which is secured by a lien against all the assets, rents and profits of the hotel as well as the real property, bears interest at the rate of 8.0% payable monthly during the term and matures in July 2010. Pre-payment penalties apply toward any principal of the loan repaid before the fifth year of the term. The remaining portion of the purchase price was paid in cash utilizing proceeds from the company’s initial public offering. The Company also placed $3.0 million in a restricted reserve account for use in renovating and improving the facilities of the 292-room hotel, which has approximately 12,000 square feet of meeting space, an outdoor swimming pool and fitness center.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

For the second quarter of 2005, the operating results for our six hotels exceeded the results for the same properties for the comparable period in 2004. Room revenue was up 7.9%; food and beverage, up 18.0%; the Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), up 11.7%; and Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”), up 7.9%. For the first six months of 2005, our operating results for the six initial hotels also reflected significant improvement over the comparable period in 2004 with room revenue up 9.0%; food and beverage, up 7.3%; ADR, up 10.1%; and RevPAR, up 9.7%. Renovation work in Laurel and Philadelphia – and the necessity to temporarily remove rooms from inventory – has offset occupancy gains elsewhere. Our occupancy has remained flat at 71.4% compared to prior year occupancy of 71.6%. The renovation on our Philadelphia, Laurel, and Williamsburg properties continue with completion expected in fall 2005.

 

Overview

 

We are a Maryland corporation that was formed in August 2004 to pursue current and future opportunities in the full-service, upper upscale, upscale and midscale segments of the hotel industry. We are self-advised and own our hotels and conduct our business through our operating partnership, MHI Hospitality, L.P. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and we own an approximate 63.7% interest in our Operating Partnership, with the remaining interest being held by the contributors of our initial properties as limited partners. We also intend to elect to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

 

We completed our initial public offering in December 2004 and sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses) of approximately $54.8 million. In conjunction with the initial public offering, we sold an additional 700,000 shares of common stock as a result of the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in January 2005, resulting in additional proceeds of approximately $6.5 million. In addition, we entered into a $23.0 million Line of Credit with BB&T that will be used to facilitate acquisitions of new hotel properties and other cash flow needs of the Company as deemed appropriate by the Directors of the Company. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate hotels. Therefore, our operating partnership leases our hotel properties to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, our TRS Lessee. Our TRS Lessee has engaged MHI Hotels Services to manage our hotels. Our TRS Lessee, and its parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into our financial statements for accounting purposes. The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

 

Our hotel portfolio currently consists of seven full-service, upper upscale and midscale hotels. The seventh hotel, the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, was acquired on July 22, 2005. We own a 100% interest in all of our initial hotels. We also have a leasehold interest in a resort condominium facility. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the majority interests in hotels comprising our accounting predecessor, MHI Hotels Services Group, and minority interests held by the controlling holders of our accounting predecessor in hotels

acquired from third parties are recorded at historical cost basis. Minority 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.

 

Results of Operations

 

MHI Hospitality Corporation – Three months ended June 30, 2005

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Revenue – Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $15.2 million, which includes room revenue of $10.1 million, food and beverage revenue of $4.5 million and other revenue of $0.6 million. ADR, RevPAR and average occupancy for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $106.21, $80.68, and 76.0%, respectively.

 

Included in the following table are the key hotel operating statistics for our six initial hotel properties for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and for the comparable period in 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, all but one of the hotel properties, the Best Western Maryland Inn, Laurel, MD, was under the management of MHI Hotels Services, our current management company.

Our results of operations for the second quarter of 2005 exceeded the performance of our accounting predecessor for the comparable period of 2004. ADR decreased approximately 5.6% due to the inclusion of three additional hotels to our predecessor group. The three additional hotels had lower ADRs than that achieved by the predecessor group in 2004. Additionally, the removal of rooms at both our Laurel and Philadelphia properties during renovation has contributed to the lower occupancy levels.

 

Hotel Operating Expenses: Hotel operating expenses were $10.7 million. Direct hotel expenses included room expense of $2.6 million, food and beverage expense of $2.9 million, other departmental and indirect expenses of $5.2 million. Indirect expenses include real and personal property taxes as well as administrative and general expenses, sales and marketing, repairs and maintenance, and energy expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.0 million.

 

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the three months ending June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million.

 

Net operating income: Net operating income for the three months ended June 30 2005 was $2.7 million.

Table of Contents

Our results of operations for the six months of 2005 exceeded the performance of our accounting predecessor for the comparable period of 2004, with the exception of net operating income, which declined slightly due to depreciation and capital expenditures, and ADR, which decreased approximately 6.4% due to the inclusion of three additional hotels to our predecessor group. The three additional hotels had lower ADRs than that achieved by the predecessor group in 2004. Additionally, the removal of rooms at both our Laurel and Philadelphia properties during renovation has contributed to the lower occupancy levels.

 

Hotel Operating Expenses: Hotel operating expenses were $20.1 million. Direct hotel expenses included room expense of $4.9 million, food and beverage expense of $5.4 million, other departmental and indirect expenses of $9.8 million. Indirect expenses include real and personal property taxes as well as administrative and general expenses, sales and marketing, repairs and maintenance, and energy expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $2.0 million.

 

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the six months ending June 30, 2005 was $1.0 million.

 

Net operating income: Net operating income for the six months ended June 30 2005 was $3.1 million.

 

Funds From Operations

 

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

Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has improved the understanding of the operating results of REITs among the investing public and made comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.0 million which amount includes proceeds from our initial public offering, our replacement reserve accounts, and real estate tax escrows. We intend to use the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option to invest in additional hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise and to renovate three of our existing hotel properties.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash. On July 22, 2005, we closed on the purchase of the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront. The purchase price of $22.0 million was funded in part by an $18.0

 

19


Table of Contents

million loan from an affiliate of the seller as well as the issuance of additional units in the operating partnership to a related party in consideration of its contribution of certain tangible assets and contractual rights. The remainder of the purchase price was funded from the proceeds of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. In addition, we placed $3.0 million in a restricted reserve account for use in renovating and improving the facilities of the 292-room hotel.

 

Recurring capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as debt service, are the most significant short-term liquidity requirements. During the next 12 months, we expect capital expenditures will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors, or as part of our upbranding strategy for the Best Western Maryland Inn. The capital reserve accounts are escrowed funds deposited monthly (5% of gross sales), and reserved for capital projects. The Hilton Savannah DeSoto and Hilton Wilmington Riverside have these reserve accounts. Our intent for the capital reserve accounts at other hotels is to maintain an overall blended rate of 4% of gross revenue.

 

In addition to our capital expenditures for ongoing replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment, we are renovating three of our initial hotels and will commence renovations of the newly acquired Jacksonville Hilton Riverfront later this year. Approximately $7.9 million of the proceeds of the offering will be used during fiscal 2005 to fund renovations and capital improvements at these hotels. Total expenditures for ongoing, recurring capital expenditures as well as renovations were $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

 

In addition to recurring capital expenditures, renovations and debt service as uses of cash and requirements for short-term liquidity, we are required to make annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain. We declared dividends of $0.17 per share (unit) paid on April 11, 2005 and July 11, 2005, which we funded out of working capital. On July 11, 2005, we declared a dividend of $0.17 per share (unit) to be paid on October 11, 2005, which will also be paid out of working capital.

 

We expect to fund our short-term liquidity requirements, including working capital, through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under a $23.0 million secured revolving line of credit that we entered into following the closing of our initial public offering.

 

Debt service requirements on our borrowings will reduce our cash flows. The initial public offering and the related repayment of indebtedness on certain of our initial properties, the restructuring of management agreements and our execution of a new management agreement with lower management fees will reduce historical debt service and management fee payments and, consequently, improve cash flow and liquidity.

 

Our long-term liquidity needs will generally include the funding of future acquisitions and development activity, the retirement of mortgage debt and amounts outstanding under our secured line of credit, and obligations under our tax indemnity agreements, if any. We remain

 

20


Table of Contents

committed to maintaining a flexible capital structure. Accordingly, in addition to the sources described above with respect to our short-term liquidity, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through a combination of some or all of the following:

 

    The issuance by the operating partnership of secured and unsecured debt securities;

 

    The incurrence by the subsidiaries of the operating partnership of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of hotel properties;

 

    The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock;

 

    The issuance of additional units;

 

    The selective disposition of non-core assets; and

 

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

 

In connection with the acquisition of our six initial hotel properties, we entered into tax indemnity agreements that require us to indemnify the contributors of our initial properties against tax liabilities in the event we sell those properties in a taxable transaction during a 10-year period. Such indemnification obligations could result in aggregate payments of approximately $46.0 million. Our obligations under the tax indemnity agreements may effectively preclude us from selling or disposing of certain of the initial hotels in taxable transactions or reducing our consolidated indebtedness below approximately $11.0 million.

 

We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet our capital and liquidity needs in both the short and long term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, our ability to satisfy cash payment obligations and make stockholder distributions may be adversely affected.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We do not expect our capital expenditures to exceed our reserves for such amounts, other than costs that we expect to incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors or the capital improvements anticipated for the Best Western Maryland Inn and the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront which will be funded with the proceeds from the initial public offering.

 

In addition to the amounts disclosed above, we are subject to various franchise and management agreements that have ongoing fees that are contingent upon future results of operations of the hotels in our portfolio as well as a potential for termination fees dependent upon the timing and method of termination of such agreements.

Inflation

 

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our TRS Lessee and net income due to the operations of our TRS Lessee. Therefore, we initially will be relying primarily on the performance of the initial properties and the ability of our hotel manager to increase revenues and to keep pace with inflation.

 

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures at some or all of our hotels may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.

 

Seasonality

 

The operations of the initial properties historically have been seasonal. The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow. The months of March and April are traditionally strong, as is October. The remaining months are generally good, but are subject to the weather and can vary significantly.

 

Geographic Concentration

 

Our initial hotels are located in North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The addition of the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront on July 22, 2005 extends our geographic presence to Florida.

 

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 3-10 years for furniture and equipment.

 

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 arc not limited to adverse changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where our hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted

 

22


Table of Contents

future cash flows from operating activities and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized.

 

There were no charges for impairment recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

 

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

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition. Hotel 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.

which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects, include, but are not limited to:

 

    United States economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically;

 

    management and performance of our hotels;

 

    our plans for renovation of our hotels;

 

    our financing plans;

 

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

 

    our ability to acquire additional properties and the risk that potential acquisitions may not perform in accordance with expectations;

 

    legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing taxation of real estate investment trusts; and

 

    our competition.

 

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 current and periodic reports filed with the SEC.

 

These risks and uncertainties, together with the information contained in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2005 under the caption “Risk Factors,” 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.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The effects of potential changes in interest rates prices 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 would 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.

 

24


Table of Contents

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. Although we currently do not intend to do so, from time to time we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

 

As of June 30, 2005, we have approximately $25.2 million of fixed-rate debt and no variable rate debt. The weighted average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 7.79%. 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.

 

We currently have no interest rate hedge contracts.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

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