NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

Sotherly Hotels Inc., (the “Company”), is a self-managed and self-administered lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and southern United States.  Currently, the Company is focused on the acquisition, renovation, upbranding and repositioning of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States.  The Company’s portfolio consists of investments in eleven12 hotel properties comprising 2,8383,156 rooms, as well as interests in 2 condominium hotels and the hotel commercial condominium unit of the Hyde Resort & Residences condominium hotel.  All of the Company’stheir associated rental programs.   The Company owns hotels except for The DeSoto, the Georgian Terrace, The Whitehall and the Hyde Resort & Residences,that operate under the Hilton Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree,Worldwide, Marriott International, Inc., and Sheraton brands.Hyatt Hotels Corporation brands, as well as independent hotels.

The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six6 hotel properties (the “initial properties”“Initial Properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP (the “Operating Partnership”).

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

For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020 was approximately 89.1%92.6% owned by the Company, andthrough its subsidiaries leases the hotels to direct and indirect subsidiaries of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, (collectively, “MHI TRS”TRS Entities”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership.  As of June 30, 2020, the MHI TRS then engages anEntities engaged eligible independent hotel management company,companies, including MHI Hotels Services, LLC, which does business as Chesapeake Hospitality (“Chesapeake Hospitality”), Highgate Hotels, L.P. (“Highgate Hotels”), and Our Town Hospitality, LLC (“Our Town”) to operate the hotels under a management contract.contracts. MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“MHI TRS”) for federal income tax purposes.  As of April 1, 2020, Chesapeake Hospitality no longer manages any of the Company’s hotels.

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

COVID-19, Management’s Plans and Liquidity

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

COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the Company’s operations and financial results both during the second quarter and in the period following, including a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.  While the duration and full extent of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic, the contraction of operations at our hotels and other effects are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we expect significant negative impacts on our operations and financial results to continue until travel and business restrictions are eased, stay-at-home directives and travel orders are lifted, consumer confidence is restored and there is a substantial recovery in the economy. At a minimum, the Company expects the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow through the remainder of 2020.

15


In response to those negative impacts, we took a number of actions to reduce costs and preserve liquidity.  The Company’s board of directors suspended quarterly cash dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock and deferred payment of dividends on its 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), 7.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and 8.25% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). We also suspended most planned capital expenditure projects, reduced the compensation of our executive officers, board of directors and employees.  Working closely with our hotel managers, we significantly reduced our hotels’ operating expenses.

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

We also sought and obtained forbearance and loan modification agreements with lenders under the mortgages for certain of our hotel properties. In April 2020, we failed to make principal or interest payments under the mortgage secured by our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach hotel, which constituted an Event of Default, and which pursuant to the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, may cause an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default persists.  Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable mortgage loan and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans and the lender under our Hilton Hollywood Beach mortgage has that right.  If the lender were to accelerate the payment of principal and interest on the applicable mortgage, we would likely not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We are actively negotiating terms of proposed forbearance agreement and waiver with the lender similar to those we have obtained from lenders secured by our other hotel properties.

Additionally, in April 2020, we failed to make principal or interest payments under the mortgage secured by our Hyatt Centric Arlington hotel, which constituted an Event of Default.  We have since entered into a loan modification agreement for the deferral of principal and interest for scheduled payments due from April 1, 2020 through August 1, 2020 as well as a deferral of payments of scheduled principal through April 1, 2021.

As of June 30, 2020, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants in the loan agreement secured by the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport.  Under the terms of the loan agreement, non-compliance constituted an “Event of Default” which pursuant to the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, may cause an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default persists.  Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable mortgage loan and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans and the lender under our DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport mortgage has that right.  If the lender were to accelerate the payment of principal and interest on the applicable mortgage, we would likely not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We are actively negotiating terms of a waiver and additional forbearance with the lender. As of June 30, 2020, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants in the loan agreements secured by the Hotel Alba and the Whitehall.  Under the terms of the forbearance agreements, a waiver has been obtained through the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively.  The duration of the disruption on global, national and local economies cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.  However, as long as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue, our future business operations, including the results of operations, cash flows and financial position will be significantly affected.  We believe it is probable that over the course of the next four to six quarters we may fail to satisfy the financial covenants in these and other mortgage loan agreements.  If we fail to obtain the requisite waivers, our lenders could declare us in default and require repayment of the outstanding balance on the mortgage loan.  If that were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt.  We believe we will be successful in obtaining waivers, forbearance arrangements or loan modifications but cannot provide assurance we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $18.5 million in unrestricted cash and approximately $6.4 million in restricted cash.  During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we utilized cash, cash and equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $7.9 million.   The uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic creates uncertainty regarding our future cash flows.  If our cash utilization going forward is consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and we do not raise additional capital, it is possible that the Company may utilize all of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the next twelve months.  Additionally, because any forbearance agreements, waivers or loan modifications would be granted at the sole discretion of the lenders, we have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires that in making this determination, we cannot consider future fundraising activities, whether through equity or debt offerings or

16


dispositions of hotel properties, or the likelihood of obtaining forbearance agreements, covenant waivers or loan modifications, all of which are outside of the Company's control. Management believes that obtaining forbearance agreements, waivers or loan modifications from our lenders would remove the reason for the determination of substantial doubt. However, any such arrangement may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other possible lender protections. In addition to or in lieu of obtaining concessions from lenders as described above, we believe we could raise additional funds, if needed, through a combination of hotel dispositions or debt or equity financings.

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of Sotherly Hotels Inc., the Operating Partnership, MHI TRS and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

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

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

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

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

Assets Held For Sale – We record 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.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk – We hold cash accounts at several institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) protection limits of $250,000. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of the failure of these institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC protection limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors, on a regular basis, the financial condition of the financial institutions along with the balances there on deposit to minimize our potential risk.

18


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

14


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

Inventories – Inventories, consisting primarily of food and beverages, are stated at the lower of cost or market,net realizable value, with cost determined on a method that approximates first-in, first-out basis.basis.

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The unamortized franchise fees as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 were $342,980$383,593 and $386,612,$413,354, respectively. Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 20162019, totaled $11,217$14,881 and $15,331,$14,035, respectively, and for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2019, totaled $ 29,761 and $28,904, respectively.

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Obligations – In February 2016, totaled $35,299the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and $45,593,disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.

A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, to give companies another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing the new standard. The transition option allows companies to not apply the new lease standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption.

We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019. We elected the practical expedients allowed under the guidance and retained the original lease classification and historical accounting for initial direct costs for leases existing prior to the adoption date. We also elected not to restate prior periods for the impact of the adoption of the new standard. The adoption of this standard has resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and related liabilities to account for our future obligations under the acquired operating ground lease, equipment, office space, parking and land leases for which we are the lessee. See Notes 4 and 6 to the accompanying financial statements for additional disclosures on the adoption of this standard.  As of June 30, 2020, we had right of use assets of approximately $6.2 million, net and lease obligations of approximately $4.3 million.  The right-of-use assets are included in investments in hotel properties, net or in prepaid expenses, inventory and other assets and the lease obligations are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Financing and Offering Costs – Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt and are reflected in mortgage loans, net and unsecured notes, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in advance of issuing equity and are reflected in prepaid expenses, inventory and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred offering costs are netted against our equity offerings when the offering is complete, whereby the costs are offset against the equity funds raised in the future and included in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets, or if the offering expires and the offering costs exceed the funds raised in the offering then the excess will be included in corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company wrote off approximately $0 and $0.5 million of deferred offering costs, respectively.

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

19


We use derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we currently use interest rate caps and an interest rate capswap which actsact as a cash flow hedgehedges and isare not designated as a hedge.hedges.  We value our interest-rate capcaps and interest rate swap at fair value, which we define as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).  We also have used derivative instruments in the Company’s stock to obtain more favorable terms on our financing. We do not enter into contracts to purchase or sell derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.purposes.

Fair Value Measurements –

We classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

15


We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table represents our interest rate cap, mortgage loansassets and unsecured notesliabilities measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement:measurement (our interest rate caps and interest rate swap are the only assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there were no non-recurring assets or liabilities for fair value measurements as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively):

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties were acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

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

The Company’s only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s debt is an obligation of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax. MHI TRS, our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary which leases our hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, deferred tax assets totaled approximately

16


$7.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of which approximately $6.8 million and $6.0 million relate to net operating losses of our TRS Lessee.  A valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets if, based on all available evidence, it is “more-likely-than-not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will or will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient taxable income in certain financial statement periods.  The “more-likely-than-not” analysis means the likelihood of realization is greater than 50%, that we will or will not be able to fully utilize the deferred tax assets against future taxable income. The net amount of deferred tax assets that are recorded on the financial statements must reflect the tax benefits that are expected to be realized using these criteria.  We perform this analysis by evaluating future hotel revenues and expenses accounting for certain non-recurring costs and expenses during the current and prior two fiscal years as well as anticipated changes in the lease rental payments from the TRS Lessee to subsidiariesAs of the Operating Partnership. WeJune 30, 2020, we have determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not be able to fully utilize our deferred tax assets for future tax consequences, therefore noa 100% valuation allowance is required.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, deferred tax assets totaled $0 and $5.4 million, respectively.  

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no0 uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2017, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject generally include 2010 through 2016. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which MHI TRS is subject generally include 2004 through 2016.

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

Stock-based Compensation – The Company’s 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and its 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in April 2013, permit the grant of stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and performance share compensation awards to its employees and directors for up to 350,000 and 750,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders.

Under the 2004 Plan, the Company made stock awards totaling 337,438 shares, including 255,938 shares issued to certain executives and employees and 81,500 restricted shares issued to its independent directors. Of the 255,938 shares issued to certain of our executives and employees, all have vested except 6,000 shares issued to the Chief Financial Officer upon execution of his employment contract which will vest pro rata on the next anniversary of the effective date of his employment agreement. All of the 81,500 restricted shares issued to the Company’s independent directors have vested. The 2004 Plan was terminated in 2013.

Under the 2013 Plan, the Company has made stock awards totaling 121,100238,600 shares, including 74,60079,850 non-restricted shares and 158,750 restricted shares issued to certain executives and employees and 46,500 restricted shares issued to its independent directors.  All awards have vested except for 12,00015,000 shares issued to one employee, which will vest over 4 years, 30,000 shares issued to one employee, which will vest over 10

years and 15,000 shares issued to one employee, which will vest over 5 years and 15,000 shares issued to the Company’s independent directors in February 2017,2020, which will vest onby December 31, 2017.  2020.  

Previously, under the 2004 Plan, and currently, underUnder the 2013 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, no2020, 0 performance-based stock awards have been granted. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2004 Plan and the 2013 Plan for each of the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 20162019 was $4,980,$18,195 and $8,025, respectively and for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 20162019 was $104,100$145,065 and $206,703,$108,383, respectively.

Additionally, the Company sponsors and maintains an ESOPEmployee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and related trust for the benefit of its eligible employees. We reflect unearned ESOP shares as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.  Dividends on unearned ESOP shares, when paid, are considered compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be released.  For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the ESOP compensation cost was $18,487 and $67,160, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the ESOP compensation cost was $64,147 and $133,253, respectively.  To the extent that the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, the differential is recognized as additional paid in capital.  Because the ESOP is internally leveraged through a loan from the Company to the ESOP, the loan receivable by the Company from the ESOP is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.

Advertising – Advertising costs were $101,788$64,964 and $138,017$90,052 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively and were $251,892 159,255 and $333,076 187,720 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively.  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Involuntary Conversion of Assets – We record gains or losses on involuntary conversions of assets due to recovered insurance proceeds to the extent the undepreciated cost of a nonmonetary asset differs from the amount of monetary proceeds received. During each of the three and nine monththree-month periods ending SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020 and 2019, we recognized $14,168 and $0, respectively, and during the six-month periods ending June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $26,607 and approximately $0 and $1.0$0.2 million , respectively, in gain on involuntary conversion of assets, respectively, which is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

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

Segment Information – We have determined that our business is conducted in one1 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 (“GAAP”)U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications in the amount of approximately $0.1 million and approximately $0.6 million for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2016, respectively, from rooms expense to indirect expense balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation. 

RecentNew Accounting Pronouncements In February 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20).  The FASB issued this update to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20, which was issued in May 2014 as a part of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. The amendments in this update also simplify GAAP by eliminating several accounting differences between transactions involving assets and transactions involving businesses in many transactions related to: a partial sale of real estate; a transfer of a nonfinancial asset within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 845, Nonmonetary Transactions; a contribution of a nonfinancial asset to form a joint venture; and a transfer of a nonfinancial asset to an equity method investee. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s current consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, however this ASU may have a significant impact on future transactions.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805).  This ASU clarifies the definition of a business and adds further guidance in evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business.  This standard will be effective for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.  This ASU addresses the diversity within entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.  Current GAAP either is unclear or does not include specific guidance on the eight cash flow classification issues included in the amendments in this update. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers2020-04, Reference Rate ReformNarrow-Scope ImprovementsFacilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and Practical Expedients (Topic 606). The amendments in this ASU provide clarificationexceptions to certain core recognition principles related to ASU No. 2014-09 including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration,the existing guidance on contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required ifhedge accounting to ease the full retrospective transition method is adopted.  The amendments do not change the core principlefinancial reporting burdens of the guidance.  We are continuingexpected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to evaluate all of our revenue related to contracts with customers to determine how to transition these requirements into our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt this ASUalternative reference rates, such as of January 1, 2018.  

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606). This update clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation contained in ASU No. 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance.  We have analyzed all of our revenue related to contracts with customers and have determined how to transition these requirements into our consolidated

financial statements. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).  The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparencyupdate provides guidance in accounting for changes in contracts, hedging relationships, and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classifiedother transactions as operating leases under current GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early applicationa result of this ASU is permitted for all entities.reference rate reform.  The Company is creating an inventory of its leasesoption expedients and is analyzing its current ground lease, office lease, other right-of-use assetsexceptions contained within this update, in general, only apply to contract amendments and lease liabilities, and parking garage lease obligations that exist.  The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or aremodifications entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2019.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in the U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective.  The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition methods.  In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective dateprior to January 1, 20182023.  The provisions of this update will most likely affect our financial reporting process relate to modifications of contracts with early adoption beginning January 1, 2017.  The Company is finalizing its evaluationlenders and the related hedging contracts associated with each respective modified borrowing contract.  In general, the provision of eachthe update would benefit us by allowing modifications of its revenue streamsdebt contracts with lenders that fall under the new modelguidance of ASC Topic 740 to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and becausenot be considered debt extinguishment.  As of the short-term, day-to-day nature of the Company’s hotel revenues, the pattern of revenue recognition isJune 30, 2020, we have not expectedentered into any contract modification as it directly relates to change significantly.  Additionally, the Company has historically disposed of hotel properties for cash sales with no contingencies and no future involvementreference rate reform, but we anticipate having to undertake such modifications in the hotel operations, and therefore, ASU 2014-09 will notfuture.  While we anticipate the impact the recognition of hotel sales.  The Company expects to use the cumulative effect transition method for adoption.  The Company has substantially completed its analysis and does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.update to be to our benefit, we are still evaluating the overall impact.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $7.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of which, approximately $6.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively, are due to accumulated net operating losses of our TRS Lessee. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2028 if not utilized by such time.  As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately $0.2 million of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to our share of start-up expenses related to the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, start-up expenses related to the opening of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore that were not deductible in the year incurred, but are being amortized over 15 years.  The remainder of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to year-to-year timing differences including accrued, but not deductible, employee performance awards, vacation and sick pay, bad debt allowance and depreciation.  

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We regularly evaluate the likelihood that our TRS Lessee will be able to realize its deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a valuation allowance.  At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we determined, based on all available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable income will be available during the carryforward periods to absorb all of the consolidated federal and state net operating loss carryforward of our TRS Lessee.  A number of factors played a critical role in this determination, including:

a demonstrated track record of past profitability and utilization of past NOL carryforwards,

reasonable forecasts of future taxable income, and

anticipated changes in the lease rental payments from the TRS Lessee to subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

13. IncomeLoss Per Share and Per Unit

IncomeLoss per Share. The limited partners’ outstanding limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (which may be redeemed for common stock upon notice from the limited partnerspartner and following our election to redeem the units for stock rather than cash) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners’ share of incomeloss would also be added back to net income.loss. The shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company, except upon the occurrence of a change of control and have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no impact on the current controlling stockholders. The 657,092 non-committed, unearned ESOP shares reduceare treated as reducing the number of issued and outstanding common shares and similarly reducereducing the weighted averagenumber of common shares outstanding.  The allocated and committed to be released shares have been included in the weighted average diluted earnings per share calculation andsince there would be an antidilutive effect from the dilution by these shares, although the amount of compensation for allocated shares is reflected in net income.loss available to common stockholder for basic computation. There are no0 ESOP units, therefore there is no dilution on the calculation of earnings per unit. The computation of basic and diluted net incomeloss per share is presented below.

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

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

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

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

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

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

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

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

risks associated with adverse weather conditions, including hurricanes;

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

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

management and performance of our hotels;

risks associated with maintaining our system of internal controls;

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

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

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

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

36


our ability to maintain adequate insurance coverage.

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

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statement contained in this report or incorporated by reference herein.  All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section.  We undertake no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this report, except as required by law.  In addition, our past results are not necessarily indicative of our future results.

We conduct substantially all our business through our Operating Partnership.  We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, and we own an approximate 89.1%92.6% interest in our Operating Partnership, as of the date of this filing, with the remaining interest being held by limited partners who were the contributors of our initial propertiesInitial Properties and related assets.

To qualify as a REIT, we cannotneither the Company nor the Operating Partnership can operate our hotels. Therefore, our wholly-owned hotel properties are leased to our MHI TRS Lessees,Entities, which are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.  Our MHI TRS LesseesEntities then engage an eligible independent hotel management companycompanies to operate the hotels under a management agreement.  Our MHI TRS LesseesEntities have engaged Chesapeake HospitalityOur Town and Highgate Hotels to manage our wholly-owned hotels.  Our MHI TRS Lessees,Entities, and their parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into each of our financial statements for accounting purposes.  The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

30Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased economic uncertainty and led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which has limited our ability to access capital. In April 2020, we failed to make principal or interest payments under the mortgage secured by our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach hotel, which constituted an Event of Default, and which pursuant to the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, may cause an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default persists. Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable mortgage loan and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans and the lender under our Hilton Hollywood Beach mortgage has that right.  If the lender were to accelerate the payment of principal and interest on the applicable mortgage, we would likely not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We are actively negotiating terms of proposed forbearance agreement and waiver with the lender similar to those we have obtained from lenders secured by our other hotel properties.

38


As of June 30, 2020, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants in the loan agreement secured by the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport.  Under the terms of the loan agreement, non-compliance constituted an “Event of Default” which pursuant to the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, may cause an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding loan balance for the period such Event of Default persists.  Following an Event of Default, our lenders can generally elect to accelerate all principal and accrued interest payments that remain outstanding under the applicable mortgage loan and foreclose on the applicable hotel properties that are security for such loans and the lender under our DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport mortgage has that right.  If the lender were to accelerate the payment of principal and interest on the applicable mortgage, we would likely not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt. We are actively negotiating terms of a waiver and additional forbearance with the lender.

As of June 30, 2020, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants in the loan agreements secured by the Hotel Alba and the Whitehall.  Under the terms of the forbearance agreements, a waiver has been obtained through the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively.  The duration of the disruption on global, national, and local economies cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.  However, as long as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue, our future business operations, including the results of operations, cash flows and financial position will be significantly affected.  We believe it is probable that over the course of the next four to six quarters we may fail to satisfy the financial covenants in these and other mortgage loan agreements. If we fail to obtain additional waivers, forbearance arrangements, or loan modifications, our lenders could declare us in default and require repayment of the outstanding balance on the mortgage loan.  If that were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt.  We believe we will be successful in obtaining waivers, forbearance arrangements or loan modifications but cannot provide assurance we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $18.5 million in unrestricted cash and approximately $6.4 million in restricted cash.  During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we utilized cash, cash and equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $7.9 million.   The uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic creates uncertainty regarding our future cash flows.  If our cash utilization going forward is consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and we do not raise additional capital, it is possible that the Company may utilize all of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the next twelve months.  Additionally, because any forbearance agreements, loan modifications or waivers would be granted at the sole discretion of the lenders, we have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. U.S. GAAP requires that in making this determination, we cannot consider future fundraising activities, whether through equity or debt offerings or dispositions of hotel properties, or the likelihood of obtaining forbearance agreements or covenant waivers, all of which are outside of the Company's control. Management believes that prospectively obtaining forbearance agreements, loan modifications and waivers from our lenders may remove the reason for the determination of substantial doubt. However, any such concession may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other possible lender protections. In addition to or in lieu of obtaining waivers as described above, we believe we could raise additional funds, if needed, through a combination of hotel dispositions or debt or equity financings.

Key Operating Metrics

In the hotel industry, room revenue is considered the most important category of revenue and drives other revenue categories such as food, beverage, catering, parking, and telephone. There are three key performance indicators used in the hotel industry to measure room revenues:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Results of Operations

 

The following tables illustrate the key operating metrics for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively, for the Company’s wholly-owned properties (“actual” portfolio metrics), as well as the eleven wholly-owned properties in the portfolio that were under the Company’s control during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and the corresponding period in 20162019 (“same-store” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the actual data does not include the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences or the Hyde Beach House, and the same-store data does not reflect the performance of the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina which was sold in February 2017, or our interestinterests in the Hyde Resort & Residences which was acquired on January 30, 2017.and the Hyde Beach House.  The composite portfolio metrics represent all of the Company’s wholly-owned properties and the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and the corresponding periodperiods in 2016.2019.  As of June 30, 2019, there were no participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Beach House.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

FFO and Adjusted FFO.  Industry analysts and investors use FFO as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT.  FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance

43


with U.S. GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under U.S. GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.

We consider FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

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

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

44


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

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

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash are net cash flow from hotel operations, sale of common and preferred stock, debt financing and proceeds from hotel dispositions.  Our principal uses of cash are acquisition of hotel properties, improvements to hotel properties, debt service, share repurchases operating costs, corporate expenses and distributions to holders of common and preferred shares (and units).   As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $18.5 million of unrestricted cash and $6.4 million of restricted cash.

Operating Activities.  Our principal source of cash to meet our operating requirements, including distributions to unitholders and stockholders as well as debt service (excluding debt maturities), is the operations of our hotels.  Cash flow provided byused in operating activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2020was approximately $13.0 million.  We had a net decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017$4.9 million generally consisting of approximately $2.3 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The decrease is mainly attributable to a net decrease of adjustments to reconcile cash and changes in assets and liabilities of approximately $4.4 million, that was offset by an increase in net income of approximately $2.1 million.  We expect that cash on hand and the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund our continuing operations, monthly and quarterly scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding any balloon payments due upon maturity of a debt) and the payment of dividends (distributions) to the Company’s stockholders (and unitholders of the Operating Partnership) in accordance with federal income tax laws which require us to make annual distributions, as “qualifying distributions,” to the Company’s stockholders of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding its net capital gains, and reduced by certain non-cash items).flow from hotel operations.  

Investing Activities.  During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we used approximately $4.0 million to acquire our interest in the Hyde Resort and Residences, $17.4$3.0 million on capital expenditures of which approximately $3.3 million related to the routine replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment and $14.1 million related to renovation of our hotels in Wilmington, North Carolina, Savannah, Georgia and Hollywood Beach, Florida.  We also contributed approximately $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 into reserves required by the lenders for ten of our hotels according to the provisions of their respective loan agreements.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received reimbursements from those reserves of approximately $4.4 million for capital expenditures related to those properties.equipment. The Operating Partnership’sPartnership received a payment on its loan to the Company had a net balance after principle payments oftotalling approximately $4.7$0.1 million.  We also received approximately $5.4 million for the sale of the Crowne Plaza Hampton Riverside and proceeds from insurance conversions of approximately $1.0 million.

Financing Activities. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we received approximately $15.7 million for net mortgage proceeds, dividend and distribution payments of $7.2 million for2020, the Company received proceeds of approximately $10.7 million from unsecured PPP loans and $7.3 million for themade distributions to holders of its common and preferred shares of approximately $4.2 million.  The Operating Partnership made distributions to holders of its common and the repurchasepreferred units of common stockapproximately $4.3 million.  The Company and Operating Partnership also made payments of the Company for approximately $1.1 million pursuant to the stock repurchase program and payments for deferred financing costs of approximately $0.6$0.1 million and made principal payments on its mortgages of approximately $1.6 million. Additionally, the Company provided approximately $4.9 million to the ESOP pursuant to the terms of its loan agreement with the ESOP.

Capital Expenditures

We anticipate thatintend to maintain all of our need for recurringhotels, including any hotel we acquire in the future, in good repair and condition, in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and, when applicable, with franchisor’s standards.  Routine capital expenditures forimprovements are determined through the replacementannual budget process over which we maintain approval rights, and refurbishmentwhich are implemented or administered by our management companies.

From time to time, certain of furniture, fixturesour hotel properties may undergo renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotel, such as guestrooms, meeting space and equipment overrestaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels in our markets.  In addition, we may be required by a franchisor to complete a property improvement program (“PIP”) in order to bring the next 12hotel up to 24 months will be at historical norms for our propertiesthe franchisor’s standards.  Generally, we expect to fund renovations and the industry.  improvements out of working capital, including restricted cash, proceeds of mortgage debt or equity offerings.

to maintain overall capital expenditures, except for those required by our franchisors as a condition to a franchise license or license renewal, at 4.0% of gross revenue.  Below is a description ofIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we postponed all major non-essential capital expenditures.  We expect total capital expenditures by property:

At the Company’s hotel in Wilmington, North Carolina, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $8.6 million are underway in anticipation of an upcoming rebranding in early 2018.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $5.2 million toward this renovation.  Renovations are expected to be completed in March 2018.  

At the Company’s hotel in Savannah, Georgia, renovations of the guestroomsapproximately $4.4 million for 2020 and public spaces totaling approximately $9.5 million are substantially complete and the Company rebranded its property from the Hilton Savannah DeSotowill continue to The DeSoto.  

At the Company’s hotel in Hollywood, Florida, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $7.1 million is nearing completion.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $5.5 million toward this renovation.    

Givenevaluate our plan to complete the renovation activities at our property in Wilmington, North Carolina, and our anticipated renovation activity at our property in Tampa, Florida prior to a franchise re-licensing in March 2019, we aim to restrict all other capital expenditures at these hotels during the renovation period to theneeds for replacement of broken or damaged furniture and equipment and the acquisition of items mandated by our licensor that are necessary to maintain our brand affiliation.  We anticipate that capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment, that are not related to these renovation activities to total 2.50% to 3.00%the impact of gross revenues in 2017.COVID-19 pandemic on hotel demand, our liquidity and the overall economic environment.

We expect a substantial portion of our capital expenditures for the recurring replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at certain of our properties will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors.accounts.  Reserve accounts are escrowed accounts with funds deposited monthly and reserved for capital improvements or expenditures with respect to all of our hotels.  We currentlyare required by our loan agreements to deposit an amount equal to 4.0% of gross revenue for The DeSoto, the Hilton Wilmington Riverside,Hotel Ballast, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University, The Whitehall, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach and the Georgian Terrace, as well as 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport and Hyatt Centric Arlington on a monthly basis.basis, except as provided in the forbearance agreements agreed to by our lenders.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we had total cash of approximately $38.8 million,$24.9 million.  During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we utilized cash, cash and equivalents and restricted cash of which approximately $32.7 million was$7.9 million.   The uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of the reduction in hotel demand caused by the pandemic creates uncertainty regarding our future cash flows.  If our cash utilization going forward is consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and we do not raise additional capital, it is possible that the Company may utilize all of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the next twelve months.

As described in “-- Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business” above, we borrowed an aggregate amount of approximately $6.1$10.7 million was restricted for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvementin PPP Loans and certain other expenses, or otherwise restricted.  We expect thathave sought forbearances and loan modifications with the lenders under the loan agreements secured by our cash on hand combined with our cash flow from the operationshotels.  Two of our hotels should be adequate to fund continuing operations, recurring capital expenditures forproperty-level loan agreements are currently operating under an Event of Default and the refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and monthly and quarterly scheduled paymentslenders under those loans could accelerate the payment of principal and interest (excluding any balloon payments due upon maturityon those mortgages. We are actively negotiating terms of proposed forbearance agreements, and waivers for non-compliance for those mortgages as well as other loan agreements under which we are likely to trigger a default in over the next four quarters as the effects of the indenturesCOVID-19 pandemic on our business continue.  If we fail to obtain additional waivers, forbearance arrangements or loan modifications, our lenders could declare us in default and require repayment of the outstanding balance on the mortgage debt).loan.  If that were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to pay that mortgage debt.  We believe we will be successful in obtaining necessary waivers, forbearance arrangements and loan modifications from our mortgage lenders but cannot provide assurance we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

In addition, certain of our loan agreements also contain cash trap provisions that have been, or which we expect will be, triggered as the performance of our hotel properties secured by those agreements decline and some of our lenders have added cash trap provisions to the loan modification agreements containing payment forbearance terms.  As those provisions are triggered or implemented, substantially all of the cash flow generated by those hotel properties is deposited into a lock box account and swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of the respective lenders.  These provisions affect our liquidity requirements until such time the cash trap is no longer in effect.

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


new issuances of common and/or preferred shares,

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

secured and unsecured borrowings,

partial or total disposition of hotel properties,

the selective disposition of non-core assets,

cash on hand, and

other types of transactions.

 

Other than scheduled monthly mortgage loan principal payments, we do not have any upcoming mortgage debt obligations that are scheduled to mature in 2020.  We have approximately $8.4 million in mortgage loan principal obligations maturing untilin August 2018.  In August 2018,2021, which relates to the mortgage on ourthe DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University matures atLaurel, after accounting for anticipated reductions in scheduled monthly principal payments. If the amortized mortgage balance of approximately $14.4 million.  We have approximately $69.2 million in debt obligations maturing in 2019, including approximately $43.9 million in mortgage debt maturities and $25.3 millioneffects of the Operating Partnership’s 7% Notes whichCOVID-19 pandemic continue through the second quarter of 2021, we intendexpect that additional capital will be required in order to repay in November 2017.  We have notified the trustee for the 7% Notes of our intent to repay, on November 15, 2017, the entire $25.3 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 7% Notes, using proceeds from the Series C Preferred Stock offering.that mortgage when it matures.

 

WeSubject to availability of capital, we intend to continue to invest in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital.capital through other sources. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.

We expect to meet our liquidity requirements for hotel property acquisitions, property redevelopment, investments in new joint ventures and debt maturities, which include the repayment of the 7% Notes (which have been called for repayment on November 15, 2017) and the retirement of maturing mortgage debt, through net proceeds from additional issuances of common shares, additional issuances of preferred shares, issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, secured and unsecured borrowings, the selective disposition of non-core assets, and cash on hand. From time to time and subject to market conditions, we may also seek to refinance mortgage debt prior to maturity where appropriate.  We remain committed to a flexible capital structure and strive to maintain prudent debt leverage.

Financial Covenants

Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loan agreements contain various financial covenants.covenants directly related to the financial performance of the collateralized properties.  Failure to comply with these financial covenants could result from, among other things, changes in the local competitive environment, general economic conditions and disruption caused by renovation activity, or major weather disturbances.disturbances, general economic conditions as well as the effects of the ongoing global pandemic.

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

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

UnderAs described in “-- Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business” and “--Liquidity and Capital Resources” above, the termsDoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport is currently operating under an Event of our non-recourse securedDefault resulting from non-compliance with the financial covenants in the mortgage loan agreements, failureagreement.  The lender under that mortgage loan could accelerate the payment of principal and interest on that mortgage.  In addition, we failed to comply with the financial covenants included in the loan agreement triggers cash flowsterms of the mortgage agreements on the Hotel Alba and Whitehall hotels, but were able to obtain waivers from the property to be directed to the lender, which may limitrespective lenders.

Certain of our overall liquidity asloan agreements also include financial covenants that cash flow would not be available to us.

trigger a “cash trap”.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we were not in compliance with such financial covenants included in the mortgage agreements on the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach and the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront.  As such, our lenders may exercise their right to initiate a “cash trap” provisions.  As those provisions are triggered or implemented, substantially all debt covenants, current on all loan paymentsof the cash flow generated by those hotel properties is deposited into a lock box account and not otherwise in default under any of our mortgage loans.

Unsecured Notes

The indentureswept into cash management accounts for the 7% Notes contains certain covenants and restrictions that require us to meet certain financial ratios.  We are not permitted to incur any Debt (other than intercompany Debt), as defined in the indenture, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the applicationbenefit of the proceeds thereof, the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt to Adjusted Total Asset Value, as defined in the indenture, would be greater than 0.65 to 1.0.  In addition, we are not permitted to incur any Debt if the ratio of Stabilized Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Stabilized Consolidated Interest Expense, both as defined in the indenture, on the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred, on a pro-forma basis, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds thereof, would be less than 1.50 to 1.0.respective lenders.

Dividend Policy

47


distribution requirements and other factors, which the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.  The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors deemed relevant by our directors, and no assurance can be given that our distribution policy will not change in the future.

In January 2017, we increased  As previously announced, the quarterly dividend (distribution)record date for the dividends on the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock that were to $0.10 perbe paid April 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2020 have each been declared and the payment of dividends on all classes of the Company’s preferred stock has been deferred.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Inflation

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

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

Geographic Concentration and Seasonality

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

The operations of our hotel properties have historically been seasonal.  The months of April and May are traditionally strong, as is October.  The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of hotels located in certain markets, namely Florida and Texas, which typically experience significant room demand during this period.  These patterns have been disrupted by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and we expect that disruption to continue throughout 2020 at a minimum.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

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

We review our hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable.  Events or circumstances that may cause us to perform our review include, but are not limited to, adverse permanent changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where our hotels are located.  When such conditions exist, management performs a

4248


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

There were no charges for impairment of hotel properties recorded for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

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

Revenue Recognition.  Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage and other hotel revenues, are recognized as the related services are delivered. We generally consider accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If we determine that amounts are uncollectible, which would generally be the result of a customer’s bankruptcy or other economic downturn, such amounts will be charged against operations when that determination is made.  Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Receivables for amounts earned under various contracts are subject to audit.

Income Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Because of expected future taxable income of our MHI TRS Lessee,Entities, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2020 to $0.  We regularly evaluate the likelihood that our MHI TRS LesseeEntities will be able to realize its deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a valuation allowance.  At eachAs of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2020, we determined, based on all available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable income will not be available during the carryforward periods to absorb all of the consolidated federal and state net operating loss carryforward.  A number of factors played a critical role in this determination, including:

a demonstrated track record of past profitability and utilization of past NOL carryforwards,

reasonable forecasts of future taxable income, and

anticipated changes in the lease rental payments from the TRS Lessee to subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. 

Should unanticipated adverse financial trends occur, or other negative evidence develop, a valuation allowance may be necessary in the future against some or all of our deferred tax assets.

Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our current strategies, expectations, and future plans are generally identified by our use of words, such as “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “opportunity,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.  All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

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

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

risks associated with adverse weather conditions, including hurricanes;

43


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

the Company’s intent to repurchase shares from time to time;

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

management and performance of our hotels;

risks associated with maintaining our system of internal controls;

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

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

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

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

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

our ability to successfully expand into new markets;

legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing taxation of REITs;

the Company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT; and

our ability to maintain adequate insurance coverage.

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

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statement contained in this report or incorporated by reference herein.  All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section.  We undertake no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this report, except as required by law.  In addition, our past results are not necessarily indicative of our future results.

 

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we will borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates.  Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs.  From time to time we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments.  We do not intend to hold or issue derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, we had approximately $264.6$319.5 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237% and including the PPP Loan of $10.7 Million, with a fixed rate of 1.0% and approximately $61.0$50.6 million of variable-rate debt.  The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.84%4.66%.  A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows.  Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the changes in 1-month LIBOR.  However, to the extent that 1-month LIBOR does not exceed the 1-month LIBOR floor on the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport of 0.50%, a portion of our variable-rate debt would not be exposed to changes in interest rates.   Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgages on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore,Hotel Alba, DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia AirportRaleigh Brownstone-University and the mortgage on The Whitehall remains at approximately $61.0$50.6 million, the balance at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.6$0.5 million.

44


As of December 31, 2016,2019, we had approximately $228.7$310.2 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237% and approximately $81.1$50.8 million of variable-rate debt.  The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.84%4.78%.  A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows.  Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the changes in 1-month LIBOR.  However, to the extent that 1-month LIBOR does not exceed the 1-month LIBOR floor on the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport of 0.50%, a portion of our variable-rate debt would not be exposed to changes in interest rates.   Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgages on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore,Hotel Alba, DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport, DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville RiverfrontRaleigh Brownstone and the mortgage on The Whitehall remainsremained at approximately $81.1$50.8 million, the balance at December 31, 2016,2019, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.8$0.5 million.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures

Sotherly Hotels Inc.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 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), as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, its disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Operating Partnership’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

PART II

 

 

Item 1.

We are not involved in any material legal proceedings, other thannor to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us.  We are involved in routine legal proceedings occurring inarising out of the ordinary course of business. We believe that these routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are notbusiness most of which is expected to be covered by insurance, and none of which is expected to have a material toimpact on our financial condition andor results of operations.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Holders of2019 and our outstanding preferred shares have dividend, liquidation and other rights that are senior toquarterly report on Form 10-Q for the rights of the holders of our common shares.

Our board of directors has the authority to designate and issue preferred shares with liquidation, dividend and other rights that are senior to those of our common shares.  As of November 7, 2017, 1,610,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, and 1,300,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.  The aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the outstanding Series B preferred shares is approximately $40.3 million, and annual dividends on our outstanding Series B preferred shares are approximately $3.2 million.  The aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the outstanding Series C preferred shares is approximately $32.5 million, and annual dividends on our outstanding Series C preferred shares are approximately $2.6 million.  Holders of both our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends before any dividends may be declared or set aside on our common shares.  Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before any payment is made to holders of our common shares, holders of these preferred shares are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid distributions.  This will reduce the remaining amount of our assets, if any, available to distribute to holders of our common shares.  In addition, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock voting together as a separate class have the right to elect two additional directors to our board of directors whenever dividends on the preferred shares are in arrears in an aggregate amount equivalent to six or more quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive).  Because our decision to issue securities will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future preferred offerings.  Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future securities issuances reducing the market price of our common shares and diluting their interest.

The change of control conversion and redemption features of the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock may make it more difficult for a party to take over our Company or discourage a party from taking over our Company.

Upon a change of control (as defined in our charter), holders of both our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock will have the right (unless, as provided in our charter, we have provided or provide notice of our election to exercise our special optional redemption right before the relevant date) to convert some or all of their shares of preferred stock into shares of our common stock (or equivalent value of alternative consideration). Upon such a conversion, holders will be limited to a maximum number of shares equal to the share cap, subject to adjustments. If the common stock price is less than $3.015, subject to adjustment, holders will receive a maximum of 8.29187 shares of our common stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock, which may result in a holder receiving value that is less than the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Stock.  If the common stock price is less than $2.94, subject to adjustment, holders will receive a maximum of 8.50340 shares of our common stock per share of Series C Preferred Stock, which may result in a holder receiving value that is less than the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock. In addition, those features of our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock may have the effect of inhibiting or discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our Company or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of shares of our common stock and shares of our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in their best interests.

ItemItem 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

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

 

Item 3.

Defaults upon Senior Securities

Preferred Stock

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

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

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

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

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

The total arrearage of unpaid cash dividend due on each of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock through August 10, 2020 is $1,610,000, $1,530,320 and $1,237,500, respectively.

Mortgage Debt

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

The principal amount on the Hollywood Mortgage is $55,878,089.  The arrearage of unpaid scheduled principal and interest due on this loan through August 10, 2020 is $1,594,552.
