MHI HOSPITALITY CORPORATION AND PREDECESSOR

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

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 upscale and mid-scale 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 restricted 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 was 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.

 

On July 22, 2005, the Company acquired the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida from BIT Holdings Seventeen, Inc., an affiliate of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust (the “Trust”), for an aggregate price of $22 million. The Trust, for which Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company (“Mercantile”) acts as trustee, financed a portion of the purchase price by extending an $18 million mortgage loan (the “Loan”) to the purchaser. Pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Sale and Contribution Agreement dated May 20, 2005, MHI Hotels, LLC (“MHI Hotels”), an affiliate of MHI Hotels Services LLC, contributed furniture, fixtures and equipment used in the operation of the Hotel and assigned its leasehold interest and other rights relating to the property to the purchaser in exchange for 90,569 units in our operating partnership, MHI Hospitality L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), valued at approximately $913,000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

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 63.2% by the Company as of July 22, 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.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2005. For the three months and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 mortgages on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside and the Hilton Savannah DeSoto. In addition, restricted cash includes the unexpended balance of a $3.0 million capital improvement reserve account for the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel administered by Mercantile.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

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.

 

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 September 30, 2005 were $266,521. Amortization expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $5,625 and $16,874, respectively. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, amortization expense was $2,175, and $8,174, 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 has elected 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.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2005, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.29. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculations was 6,655,282.

 

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 income (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.

5. Debt

 

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 September 30, 2005, LIBOR was 3.864%. 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 September 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 $2.0 million as of September 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.

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. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had 6,704,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

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 September 30, 2005, the total number of Operating Partnership units outstanding was 3,907,605.

Management Agreements – All of the seven hotels that the Company owned at September 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 initial portfolio of six hotels is 2.0% in 2005, rising to 2.5% in 2006 and 3.0% thereafter of total gross revenues from the hotels. The base management fee for the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel is 2.0% through 2006, rising to 2.5% in 2007 and 3.0% thereafter. 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.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Ground, Building and Submerged Land 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. Rent expense for this operating lease for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $9,387 and $28,161, respectively.

 

The Company leases, as landlord, the entire fourteenth floor of the Savannah hotel property 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 nine months ended September 30, 2005, rent expense was $19,026 and $57,078, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2005 is $33,319 and $117,847, respectively.

The developer of the property is completing a condominium conversion after which time the Company will retain MHI Hotels Services to operate the hotel. Closing is contingent on a variety of factors including the Company’s ability to secure a franchise for the hotel.

 

Management Agreement – All of the seven hotels that the Company owned at September 30, 2005 operate under a ten-year master management agreement with MHI Hotels Services which expire ten years from the date management services commence (see Note 7).

 

Franchise Agreements – As of September 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

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

 

Overview

 

We are a self-advised REIT incorporated in Maryland in August 2004 to pursue current and future opportunities in the full-service, upper upscale, upscale and midscale segments of the hotel industry. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering 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.

 

Concurrent with the completion of the IPO we acquired six hotel properties. Our hotel portfolio currently consists of seven full-service, upper upscale and mid-scale hotels. The seventh hotel, the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, was acquired on July 22, 2005. We own a 100% interest in all of our hotels. We also have a leasehold interest in a resort condominium facility. As of September 30, 2005, we owned the following hotel properties:

   Date of Acquisition

Hilton Philadelphia Airport    331    Philadelphia, PA    December 21, 2004

Holiday Inn Downtown Williamsburg    137    Williamsburg, VA    December 21, 2004
Holiday Inn Brownstone    188    Raleigh, NC    December 21, 2004
Hilton Wilmington Riverside    274    Wilmington, NC    December 21, 2004
Hilton Savannah DeSoto    246    Savannah, GA    December 21, 2004
Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront    292    Jacksonville, FL    July 22, 2005
    
         
Total    1,675          
    
         

 

We conduct substantially all 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 63.2% interest in our Operating Partnership, with the remaining interest being held by the contributors of our initial properties as limited partners.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate hotels. Therefore, our operating partnership leases our 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.

Key Operating Metrics

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Results of Operations

 

MHI Hospitality Corporation – Three months ended September 30, 2005

 

Revenue – Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $14.6 million, which includes room revenue of $10.0 million, food and beverage revenue of $3.9 million and other revenue of $0.7 million. ADR, RevPAR and average Occupancy for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $101.25, $67.62, and 66.8%, respectively.

 

Included in the following table are the key hotel operating statistics for our seven hotel properties for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and for the comparable period in 2004. The statistics for the three months ended September 30, 2005 reflect the results for six hotels for a full quarter and the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel since the date of acquisition. The statistics for the three months ended September 30, 2004, reflect the results for the comparable period for the respective hotels. All but one of the hotel properties, the Holiday Inn Laurel West (formerly, the Best Western Maryland Inn), Laurel, MD, was under the management of MHI Hotels Services, our current management company during the three month period ended September 30, 2004.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR at the Holiday Inn Laurel West in Laurel, MD due to renovation activity. On October 7, 2005, the property was re-branded as a Holiday Inn after substantial completion of the renovation activities. As a result of the re-branding and completion of renovations, the Company expects occupancy rates to improve for the Laurel property in future periods. The remainder of the portfolio continues to benefit from an industry rebound as well as limited growth in supply of new hotels. This, combined with an improved mix of customers, has allowed us to increase our average daily rate.

 

The following table relates to the key hotel operating statistics and results of operations for MHI Hospitality Corporation’s hotel properties for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and for the three months ended September 30, 2004, for our accounting predecessor, MHI Hotel Services Group. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2005 reflect the results for six hotels for a full quarter and the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel since the date of acquisition. The accounting predecessor consisted of three of our initial hotels.

Our results of operations for the third quarter of 2005 exceeded the performance of our accounting predecessor for the comparable period of 2004. ADR decreased approximately 4.4% due to the inclusion of four additional hotels to our predecessor group. The four 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 contributed to the lower occupancy levels.

 

Hotel Operating Expenses: Hotel operating expenses for the third quarter of 2005 were $11.5 million. Direct hotel expenses included room expense of $2.9 million, food and beverage expense of $2.9 million, and other departmental and indirect expenses of $5.7 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. We experienced a

significant increase in energy costs during the third quarter and anticipate this increase will continue for the foreseeable future. Historically, energy costs have represented approximately 5% of our hotel operating expenses. A 20% increase in energy costs would represent a 1% increase in operating expenses, which would require a corresponding increase in ADR to maintain our current margins.

 

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $1.1 million. As most of the renovation work at Laurel, Williamsburg and Philadelphia was not completed until the end of the quarter, depreciation and amortization expense does not reflect any additional charge related to such work.

 

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the three months ending September 30, 2005 was $0.8 million. Interest expense for the this quarter was significantly higher than the previous quarters due to the new indebtedness related to the acquisition of the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel.

 

Net operating income: Net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $1.5 million.

 

MHI Hospitality Corporation – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005.

 

Revenue – Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $41.3 million, which includes room revenue of $27.8 million, food and beverage revenue of $11.7 million and other revenue of $1.8 million. ADR, RevPAR and average occupancy for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $100.35, $69.86, and 69.6%, respectively.

 

Included in the following table are the key hotel operating statistics for our seven hotel properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and for the comparable period in 2004. The statistics for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflect the results for six hotels for a nine months and the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel since the date of acquisition. The statistics for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, reflect the results for nine months for seven hotels. All but one of the hotel properties, the Holiday Inn Laurel West (formerly, the Best Western Maryland Inn), Laurel, MD, was under the management of MHI Hotels Services, our current management company during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we experienced a significant decline in occupancy and RevPAR at the Holiday Inn Laurel West in Laurel, MD due to renovation activity. In October 2005, the property was re-branded as a Holiday Inn after substantial completion of the renovation activities. The remainder of the portfolio continues to benefit from an industry rebound as well as limited growth in supply of new hotels. This, combined with an improved mix of customers, has allowed us to increase our average daily rate significantly.

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 September 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.8 million, of which $4.6 million was in restricted reserve accounts and real estate tax escrows. Coincident with the purchase of the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel, we placed $3.0 million into a capital improvement reserve with Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company, the mortgagor’s trustee. The Company maintains a $23.0 million line of credit with BB&T Bank, of which only $2.0 million has been drawn and remains outstanding on September 30, 2005. The line will be used to fund future acquisitions of new hotel companies and to provide working capital as necessary. We are currently in discussions to increase the availability under the line of credit.

 

Operating Requirements. The Company finances its operations from operating cash flow, which is principally derived from the operations of its hotels. Excluding the effect of the transfer to the capital improvement reserve, cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $2.6 million. We expect that the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund the Company’s operating requirements, debt service and the payment of dividends in accordance federal income tax laws which require us 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, July 11, 2005, and October 11, 2005, which we funded out of working capital. On October 10, 2005, we declared a dividend of $0.17 per share (unit) to be paid on January 11, 2006, which will also be paid out of working capital.

 

On September 13, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an interest in a condominium hotel property in Hollywood, Florida last operated as the Ambassador Resort. The seller will renovate the hotel and complete a condominium conversion. The Company will retain

 

23


Table of Contents

MHI Hotels Services to manage the hotel on its behalf. Purchase of the interest in the property and costs related to pre-opening expenses are expected to be incurred next year and total approximately $3.0 million. Such costs will be funded out of working capital.

 

Capital Expenditures. We have substantially completed the renovations at 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 initial public offering have been used during fiscal 2005 to fund renovations and capital improvements at these hotels. Cash flow used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $9.7 million. Approximately $3.6 million was used in the purchase of the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel. Expenditures for ongoing, recurring capital expenditures as well as renovations were $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Approximately $3.0 million has been placed into a capital improvement reserve with Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company to fund renovations to the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel. We expect that the reserve will be sufficient to fund the planned renovations.

 

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 Holiday Inn Laurel West (formerly, 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.

 

We have engaged Jones Lang LaSalle to market the Holiday Inn Downtown Williamsburg. In the event a potential purchaser is identified, the Company intends to structure the disposition of the property as a like-kind exchange. In the event the Company is unable to reach an agreement with a potential purchaser to effect the transaction as a like-kind exchange, the property may be sold for cash in which case there may be expense associated with the tax indemnification agreement between the Company and the contributors of the property.

 

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 has reduced historical debt service and management fee payments and, consequently, improved 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 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;

 

24


Table of Contents
    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 including the remaining capital improvements for the Holiday Inn Laurel West (formerly, the Best Western Maryland Inn), which will be funded out of working capital. The capital improvements for the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront will be funded out of the capital improvement reserve maintained by Mercantile Safe and Deposit Trust Company.

 

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.

Table of Contents

Inflation

 

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our TRS Lessee and net income from 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 company 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 hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

 

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

 

26


Table of Contents

There were no charges for impairment recorded for the nine months ended September 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.

 

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 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 future plans, strategies and expectations, 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. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements.

 

27


Table of Contents

Factors, 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.

 

28


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 September 30, 2005, we have approximately $42.9 million of fixed-rate debt and $2.0 million of variable rate debt. The weighted average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 7.95%. 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.

In addition, Purchaser shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause Franchisor to agree to issue to Seller a “comfort letter” utilizing Franchisor’s standard form attached hereto as Exhibit “F” modified to reflect that Seller is not a lender and that Seller shall have the same cure rights and other rights afforded a lender in the comfort letter if Seller repurchases the Hotel Unit as provided in Section 5.4 (the “Comfort Letter”).

 

5.2 In the event that Purchaser does not obtain (i) the License Agreement consistent with the form of license agreement attached as Exhibit “G” and (ii) a Comfort Letter in form and content acceptable to Purchaser and Seller complying with the requirements of Section 5.1, within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, then at any time thereafter and prior to the date that Purchaser obtains the License Agreement and Comfort Letter, either Purchaser or Seller may terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser and the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement except for the obligations that survive termination.

In such event closing on the repurchase of the Hotel Unit pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall occur within thirty (30) days of the exercise of the Repurchase Option by Seller. Purchaser will reconvey the Hotel Unit and the Personal Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and such other exceptions to title arising by through or under Seller. The Purchase Price shall be paid in cash at Closing subject to customary adjustments and prorations and payment of customary closing costs. Purchaser shall not be deemed to have violated the terms of the License Agreement if the Hotel Condominium fails to meet the Design Criteria because of Seller’s failure to provide the Temporary Function Space pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof.

It is agreed by the parties that such amount being paid to Seller is a fair and reasonable measure of the damages which will be suffered by Seller in the event of such default, the parties recognizing that Seller will, in such event, have relinquished potential offers from other parties to purchase the property, the parties recognizing that such occurrences cannot be subject to the ascertainment of any exact amount of damages. Said liquidated and agreed upon damages are, however, bona fide provisions for such and are not a penalty.

 

If Seller defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser may elect to receive the return of the Deposit, together with interest accrued thereon, or in the alternative seek specific performance of this Agreement or, in the case of a breach by Seller of Article VI, to seek damages in the amounts specified therein. Purchaser, at Purchaser’s option and in Purchaser’s sole discretion, may waive any default by Seller and close pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser’s remedies for a Seller default under this Agreement are limited to the remedies described in this Article XXXI. If Purchaser elects to seek specific performance of this Agreement such action must be filed and served on Seller within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date.
