MHI HOSPITALITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

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. The hotels operate under well-known national hotel brands such as Hilton and Intercontinental Hotels Group brands. 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.

On July 22, 2005, the Company acquired the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel (formerly, 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 (“MHI Hotels Services”), 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 the operating partnership, MHI Hospitality L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), valued at approximately $913,000. On April 1, 2006, the Company completed re-branding the hotel as a Crowne Plaza.

On May 9, 2006, the Company closed on a senior secured revolving credit facility for up to $60 million, which was syndicated by Branch Banking & Trust Company (“BB&T”). The facility replaced an existing $23 million facility with BB&T and will be used to fund acquisitions and working capital.

On August 10, 2006, the Company sold the Holiday Inn Downtown, in Williamsburg, VA for $4.75 million. The Company agreed to take back three promissory notes that totaled $4.33 million from the purchaser and received the remainder of the purchase price in cash. Promissory notes in the amount of $2.63 million and $1.4 million will mature on December 31, 2006 with interest-only payments due monthly bearing rates of 8.0% and 8.5%, respectively. The notes may be extended an additional seven months to August 31, 2007. The third promissory note in the amount of $0.4 million with interest-only payments due monthly at a rate of 8.0% will mature on August 31, 2007. The Company has committed to substitute the third promissory note for a $0.4 million 20-year promissory note bearing interest at 8.0% with interest-only payments due monthly for the first four years and payments under a 20-year amortization schedule thereafter if the purchaser refinances the first two promissory notes prior to maturity. The promissory notes are secured by a security interest in the hotel and by personal guarantees of affiliates of the purchaser.

On September 20, 2006, the Company purchased the 186-room Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn, located in Jeffersonville, Indiana for approximately $7.7 million including transfer costs. The hotel is located directly on the Ohio River, with unimpeded views of the Louisville skyline, and easy access to the center of downtown Louisville. The Company has closed the hotel to begin extensive renovations. The purchase was structured to meet the requirements of a Sec. 1031 like-kind exchange, enabling the company to defer tax on all capital gains on the sale in August of its Williamsburg property. To facilitate the closing of the acquisition, MHI accessed approximately $7.5 million from its line of credit, and approximately $0.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale of its Williamsburg property.

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 approximately 63.2% owned by the Company, leases its hotels to a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages a hotel management company 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, 2006 and 2005.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company 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 capital improvement reserve account for the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel administered by Mercantile.

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 that extend the life of the property, are capitalized.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 39 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.

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

Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations – The Company records assets as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year. The related operations of assets held for sale are reported as discontinued if 1) such operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, both operationally and financially, from the ongoing operations of the Company, 2) such operations and cash flows will be eliminated from ongoing operations once the disposal occurs, and 3) the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement subsequent to the disposal.

Derivative Instruments – The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted (“SFAS 133”). Under SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are required to be reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as an interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

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 that does not relate to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary. MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, which leases the Company’s hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes 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.

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

Under the Plan, the Company has made restricted stock and deferred stock awards totaling 81,000 shares including 69,000 shares granted under deferred stock awards to its executives, 4,000 restricted shares issued to certain employees, and 8,000 restricted shares issued to its directors. Of the 69,000 shares granted under deferred stock awards, 60,000 shares vest over five years and 9,000 shares vest at the end of this year. Regarding the restricted shares awarded the Company’s directors and certain employees, the shares vest immediately and represent compensation for the previous year of service. All such shares are charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. Under the Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. As of September 30, 2006, no performance-based stock awards have been issued. Consequently, stock-based compensation as determined under the fair-value method would be the same under the intrinsic-value method. Total compensation cost recognized under the Plan was $28,500 and $85,500 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively and $0 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

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.

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 mid-scale segments of the hotel industry. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering.

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 most recent addition to our portfolio, the Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn was acquired on September 20, 2006. It is currently being renovated and is expected to be re-branded and to re-open in the third quarter 2007. We own a 100% interest in all of our hotels. We also have a leasehold interest in a resort condominium facility and have entered into a purchase agreement to acquire an interest in a condominium hotel project in Hollywood, Florida. As of September 30, 2006, we owned the following hotel properties:

Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn    186    Jeffersonville, IN    September 20,2006
          

Total

   1,723      
          

On August 10, 2006, we sold the Holiday Inn Downtown, in Williamsburg, VA for $4.75 million. We took back three promissory notes totaling $4.33 million from the purchaser and received the remainder of the purchase price in cash. Promissory notes in the amount of $2.63 million and $1.4 million will mature on December 31, 2006 with interest-only payments due monthly bearing rates of 8.0% and 8.5%, respectively. The notes may be extended an additional seven months to August 31, 2007 at the election of the purchaser. The third note in the amount of $0.4 million with interest-only payments due monthly at a rate of 8.0% will mature on August 31, 2007. We have committed to substitute the third promissory note for a $0.4 million 20-year promissory note bearing interest at 8.0% with interest-only payments due monthly for the first four years and payments under a 20-year amortization schedule thereafter if the purchaser refinances the first two promissory notes. The promissory notes are secured by a security interest in the hotel and by personal guarantees of affiliates of the purchaser.

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.

On September 20, 2006, we purchased the 186-room Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn, located in Jeffersonville, Indiana for approximately $7.7 million including transfer costs. The hotel is located directly on the Ohio River, with unimpeded views of the Louisville skyline, and easy access to the center of downtown Louisville. We intend to extensively renovate and re-brand the hotel, as is consistent with our repositioning strategy. We structured the purchase to meet the requirements of a Sec. 1031 like-kind exchange, enabling us to defer tax on all capital gains on the sale in August of our Williamsburg property. To facilitate the closing of the acquisition, we accessed approximately $7.5 million from the line of credit, and approximately $0.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the Williamsburg property.

On September 13, 2005 we 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. We will retain MHI Hotels Services, LLC (“MHI Hotels Services”) to manage the hotel on our behalf. Purchase of the interest in the property and costs related to pre-opening expenses are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of this year and total approximately $3.8 million. In addition, we may be required by the developer to purchase a maximum of 100 un-sold condominium units on or before August 1, 2007 at a maximum price of $197,000 per unit subject to certain terms and conditions.

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

The following table illustrates the key operating metrics for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 for the properties owned by the Company during the respective reporting periods. Accordingly, the operations of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel are reflected only for the portion of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 after July 22, 2005. In addition, the operations of the Holiday Inn Downtown in Williamsburg, Virginia are presented only through August 10, 2006.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $16.1 million, an increase of approximately $2.5 million or 18.3% from the three months ended September 30, 2005. The largest increase in revenue was from room revenues, which, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 rose to approximately $10.7 million, an increase of approximately $1.4 million or 14.9% compared to room revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005. A new mix of business, a strong market, and the completion of room renovations caused a significant increase in ADR at our Philadelphia property. Our efforts to re-position our property in Laurel, Maryland coupled with the completion of renovations also contributed to the significant increase in ADR at that property. These factors helped offset occupancy declines at our Savannah and Jacksonville properties.

The six properties whose operating results are reflected in income from continuing operations were able to achieve a 14.9% increase in room revenue through a combined 0.9% increase in occupancy, a 8.9% increase in ADR and a 5.4% increase in the number of room nights sold. The increase in room night sold resulted from the inclusion of the operating results of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel, which was acquired in July 2005 for the full three months ended September 30, 2006 versus operating results from that hotel being reflected in the third quarter 2005 only from the date of acquisition.

Food and beverage revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.7 million or 19.0% to approximately $4.4 million compared to food and beverage revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Revenue from other operating departments for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.4 million or 59.9% to approximately $1.1 million compared to revenue from other operating departments of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Commencing November 2005, we realized revenue from the lease of restaurant space at the Holiday Inn Laurel West that had undergone ten months of renovation. In addition, we were paid consulting fees by the developer of the Hollywood, Florida condominium project in the third quarter of 2006.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, and management fees were approximately $12.1 million, an increase of approximately $1.3 million or 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to approximately $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Rooms expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.3 million or 11% to approximately $3.0 million compared to rooms expense of approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Much of the increase relates to increased expenses at our Hilton brand properties for replacing room amenities as well as the increased cost of implementing a franchisor-mandated bedding program.

Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.3 million or 12.6% to approximately $3.1 million compared to food and beverage expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The higher food and beverage costs are attributable to the higher volume of food and beverage sales. Indirect expenses at our properties for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.7 million or 13.0% to approximately $5.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005. Certain of the indirect expenses vary directly with increases in revenue. Accordingly, we saw significant increases in sales and marketing expenses, hotel franchising fees and management fees.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $1.2 million, an increase of approximately $0.1 million or 14.8% compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.1 million or 29.1% compared to approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The hiring of our Chief Operating Officer in January 2006 contributed to the increase.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.3 million or 31.6% to approximately $1.1 million compared to interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel acquired in July 2005 and borrowings on the line of credit.

Income Taxes. The net income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased to approximately $0.1 million. The income tax benefit is primarily derived from the net operating loss of our TRS lessee. The net operating loss of our TRS lessee attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was less than the net operating loss attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Net Income. The net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of the operating results discussed above.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

Revenue. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $50.2 million, an increase of approximately $11.2 million or 28.8%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Approximately $6.7 million in incremental revenues were attributable to the operating results of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel, which was acquired in July 2005. The remainder of the increase was due to improvements in all revenue categories.

Room revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 rose to approximately $33.5 million, an increase of approximately $7.3 million or 28.0% compared to room revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Approximately $4.3 million of the increase was attributable to the operating results of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. Room revenues at our other properties (with the exception of the Holiday Inn Downtown in Williamsburg, Virginia which is

not included in the presentation of continuing operations) increased approximately $3.0 million or 12.3%. A new mix of business, a strong market, and the completion of room renovations caused a significant increase in ADR at our Philadelphia property. Our efforts to re-position our property in Laurel, Maryland coupled with the completion of renovations also contributed to the significant increase in ADR at that property. These factors helped offset occupancy declines at our Savannah property.

Overall, our six operational properties were able to achieve a 7.3% increase in room revenue despite a 1.3% decline in occupancy by achieving an 8.5% increase in ADR over the same period.

Food and beverage revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $2.9 million or 25.7% to approximately $13.9 million compared to food and beverage revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Approximately $1.9 million of the increase was attributable to the operating results of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel.

Revenue from other operating departments for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $1.0 million or 58.0% to approximately $2.8 million compared to approximately $1.8 million in revenue from other operating departments for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Approximately $0.6 million of the increase was attributable to the operating results of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. As previously stated, the lease of restaurant space beginning November 2005 at of the Holiday Inn Laurel West subsequent to its renovation, as well as consulting fees received from the developer of the Hollywood, Florida condominium project, also constituted a significant portion of the increase.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, and management fees were approximately $38.0 million, an increase of approximately $8.0 million or 26.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to approximately $30.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to approximately $5.2 million in incremental expense attributable to the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel acquired in July 2005.

Rooms expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $2.0 million or 27.7% to approximately $9.2 million compared to rooms expense of approximately $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to the operating results of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. Much of the remaining increase relates to increased expenses at our Hilton brand properties for replacing room amenities as well as the increased cost of implementing a franchisor-mandated bedding program.

Food and beverage expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $1.9 million or 24.3% to approximately $9.6 million compared to food and beverage expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The higher food and beverage costs are attributable to the higher volume of food and beverage sales. Indirect expenses at our properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $3.9 million or 27.0% to approximately $18.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. Sales and marketing expenses, hotel franchise fees and management fees increased significantly as these expenses vary directly with increases in revenue.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $3.6 million, an increase of approximately $0.7 million or 24.3% compared to approximately $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in depreciation and amortization was attributable to the addition of depreciable assets including the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel and the renovations at our Philadelphia and Laurel properties.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.6 million or 44.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to approximately $2.0 million. Increased staffing levels, including the hiring of our Chief Operating Officer in January 2006 and our Chief Accounting Officer in May 2005, as well as an accelerated timetable for the preparation of the Company’s tax returns contributed to the increase.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $1.3 million or 69.4% to approximately $3.2 million compared to interest expense for the same period ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel acquired in July 2005 and borrowings on the line of credit.

Income Taxes. The net income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 swung from an income tax benefit of approximately $0.1 million to a provision of approximately $0.1 million. The income tax provision is primarily derived from the taxable income of our TRS lessee. The TRS lessee produced taxable income attributable to continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 rather than a net operating loss that was attributable to continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Net income. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of the operating results discussed above.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any 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.

The following table reconciles net income to FFO for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (unaudited):

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities. Our principal source of cash to meet our operating requirements, including distributions to unitholders and stockholders as well as repayments of indebtedness, is the operations of our hotels. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $6.9 million. We currently expect that the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund our continuing operations, debt service and the payment of dividends in accordance with 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 gains. We declared dividends of $0.17 per share (unit) paid on October 11, 2006, which we funded out of working capital.

Investing Activities. We substantially completed renovations at three of our six initial hotels last year and have commenced renovations at the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, approximately $4.4 million was spent on renovations and capital improvements. Of that amount, approximately $1.2 million was funded from our capital improvement reserve.

On August 10, 2006, we sold the Holiday Inn Downtown Williamsburg for $4.75 million. We took back three promissory notes totaling $4.33 million from the purchaser and received the remainder of the purchase price in cash. Promissory notes in the amount of $2.63 million and $1.4 million will mature on December 31, 2006 with interest-only payments due monthly bearing rates of 8.0% and 8.5%, respectively. The notes may be extended an additional seven months to August 31, 2007 at the election of the purchaser. The third note in the amount of $0.4 million with interest-only payments due monthly at a rate of 8.0% will mature on August 31, 2007. We have committed to substitute the third promissory note for a $0.4 million 20-year promissory note bearing interest at 8.0% with interest-only payments due monthly for the first four years and payments under a 20-year amortization schedule thereafter if the purchaser refinances the first two promissory notes. The promissory notes are secured by a security interest in the hotel and by personal guarantees of affiliates of the purchaser. The sale yielded cash proceeds of approximately $0.2 million.

On September 20, 2006, we purchased the 186-room Louisville Ramada Riverfront Hotel in Jeffersonville, Indiana for approximately $7.7 million including transaction costs. We structured the purchase to meet the requirements of a Sec. 1031 like-kind exchange, enabling us to defer tax on all capital gains on the sale in August of the Williamsburg property. To facilitate the closing of the acquisition, we accessed approximately $7.5 million from its line of credit, and approximately $0.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the Williamsburg property.

These activities represent our net cash flow used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of approximately $10.7 million.

Financing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $5.9 million. During the course of the year, we borrowed approximately $12.7 million to fund the purchase of the Louisville Ramada Riverfront Hotel in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the costs of renovations at the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel that have not yet been reimbursed from the capital improvement reserve, and additional working capital. We incurred costs of approximately $0.6 million associated with the refinancing of our 4-year revolving credit facility and made principal payments of approximately $0.8 million as required under various mortgage loan agreements. We also used approximately $5.4 million to make distributions to our unitholders and dividends to holders of our common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.8 million, of which $3.2 million was in restricted reserve accounts and real estate tax escrows. Coincident with the purchase of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel, we placed $3.0 million into a capital improvement reserve with Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company, the mortgagor’s trustee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, approximately $1.2 million had been expended from the reserve. On May 9, 2006, we replaced our existing $23.0 million secured line of credit with a revolving credit facility for up to $60.0 million that we expect to be available to finance future acquisitions as well as working capital. For a discussion of the new line of credit, please see Note 5, Credit Facility, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements provided in this report.

Our long-term liquidity needs will generally include the funding of future acquisitions, development and investment 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 Company, the operating partnership of the Company, and/or their subsidiary entities 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 in the operating partnership;

 

    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.

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

Recurring capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as debt service, are our most significant short-term liquidity requirements. During the next 12 months, we expect that capital expenditures other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors or capital expenditures relating to hotels we acquire will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts. With respect to two of our hotels, the reserve accounts are escrowed with 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 overall capital expenditures at 4% of gross revenue.

On September 13, 2005, we 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. We will retain MHI Hotels Services to manage the hotel on our behalf. Purchase of the interest in the property and costs related to pre-opening expenses are expected to be incurred later this year and total approximately $3.8 million. Such costs will be funded by additional borrowings on the line of credit.

In addition, under the terms of the agreement, as amended on September 25, 2006, we may be required by the developer to purchase a maximum of 100 un-sold condominium units on or before August 1, 2007 at a maximum price of $197,000 per unit subject to certain terms and conditions. In the event that the developer exercises his option, the purchase of additional units will be funded by additional borrowings on the line of credit. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn in Jeffersonville, Indiana, we intend to renovate and re-brand the hotel. Renovation costs are estimated at approximately $9.2 million and the property is expected to re-open in the third quarter 2007. Such costs will be funded by additional borrowings on the line of credit.

The franchise agreements at the Hilton Wilmington Riverside Hotel and the Hilton Savannah DeSoto Hotel expire in 2008. In conjunction with the renewal of those agreements, we expect that we will be required to complete a property improvement plan (“PIP”). We estimate that the cost of the required renovations to be approximately $8.0 million and will be expended beginning the second quarter 2007 through the second quarter 2008. We expect that the renovations will be funded initially by additional borrowings on the line of credit and subsequently through refinancing the existing mortgages on the properties.

Contractual Obligations

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.

Inflation

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

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

Seasonality

The operations of the properties have historically been seasonal. The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. 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, Indiana, 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. 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 at time of acquisition.

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

There were no charges for impairment recorded for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2006 or 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Income Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Because of expected future taxable income of our TRS lessee, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2006. Should our estimate of future taxable income be less than expected, we would record an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset in the period such determination was made.

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. 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 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2006 under “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.

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. Our line of credit with BB&T required us to hedge at least one-half of the maximum borrowing amount with an interest-rate swap, which we purchased on August 8, 2006 on a notional amount of $30.0 million. As of September 30, 2006, derivatives with a fair value of approximately $463,000 were included in other liabilities. From time to time we may enter into other interest rate hedge contracts such as collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately $41.9 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately, $16.2 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. Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the change in 30-day LIBOR, but would be limited to the effect on the gap between the balance on the line of credit and the $30.0 million notional amount of the interest rate swap purchased on August 8, 2006. Assuming that the amount outstanding under our line of credit remains at approximately $16.2 million, the balance at September 30, 2006, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in 30-day LIBOR would be approximately $138,000.

As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $42.7 million of fixed-rate debt. The weighted average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 7.95%.

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.
