EXPLANATORY NOTE

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

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

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 of the Company and the Operating Partnership. We believe combining the quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:

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

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

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

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

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

· Consolidated Financial Statements;

· the following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:

· Note 6 – Equity; and

· Note 12 – Income Per Share and Per Unit;

· Item 4 - Controls and Procedures; and

· Item 6 - Certifications of CEO and CFO Pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

SOTHERLY HOTELS INC.

SOTHERLY HOTELS LP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Sotherly Hotels Inc., formerly MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”), is a self-managed and self-administered lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and southern United States.  Currently, the Company is focused on the acquisition, renovation, upbranding and repositioning of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States.  The Company’s portfolio consists of investments in twelve hotel properties, comprising 3,011 rooms.  All of the Company’s hotels, except for The Georgian Terrace and The Whitehall, operate under the Hilton, Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree, and Sheraton brands.

The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (the “initial properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP, formerly MHI Hospitality, L.P. (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’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 June 30, 2016, was approximately 89.4% owned by the Company, and its subsidiaries, lease the hotels to a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages an eligible independent hotel management company, MHI Hotels Services, LLC, which does business as Chesapeake Hospitality (“Chesapeake Hospitality”), to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

All references in this report 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.

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

On May 5, 2015, the Company obtained a $47.0 million mortgage with Bank of America N.A. on The Georgian Terrace in Atlanta, Georgia.  The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.42% and provides for level payments of principal and interest on a monthly basis under a 30-year amortization schedule.  The maturity date is June 1, 2025.  The Company used the proceeds of the mortgage to repay the existing first mortgage and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds to partially fund ongoing renovations at The Georgian Terrace and for general corporate purposes.

During June 2015, the Company sold 98,682 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $0.7 million, which it contributed to the Operating Partnership for an equivalent number of units.

On July 1, 2015, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $19.8 million, which it contributed to the Operating Partnership for an equivalent number of units.  

On July 7, 2015, we entered into a loan agreement and other loan documents to secure an $18.5 million mortgage with Bank of the Ozarks collateralized by a first mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront. The $18.5 million mortgage was received in two parts. We received $18.0 million on July 7, 2015 and the remainder of $0.5 million on October 20, 2015.  The $0.5 million was included with the additional earn-out provision of $1.5 million, for a total of $2.0 million additional proceeds, as described below.  The mortgage term is four years maturing July 7, 2019 and may be extended for one additional period of one year, subject to certain criteria. The mortgage bears a floating interest rate of the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.5%, subject to a floor rate of 4.0%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 25-year schedule; and has a prepayment penalty if prepaid during the initial two years. The Company used the proceeds from the mortgage to repay the existing first mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, to pay closing costs, to partially fund ongoing renovations at the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront and for general corporate purposes.

12

On July 17, 2015, the Company sold 435,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $2.8 million, which it contributed to the Operating Partnership for an equivalent number of units.

On July 31, 2015, we acquired the remaining 75% interest in (i) the entity that owns the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, and (ii) the entity that leases the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.  As a result, the Operating Partnership now has a 100% indirect ownership interest in the entities that own the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.

On September 2, 2015, we closed on the sale of a 0.3 acre parcel of excess land adjacent to our Atlanta, Georgia property for $2.2 million.  The parcel was included in the acquisition of The Georgian Terrace in March 2014.  We used the proceeds of the sale for general corporate purposes.

On September 28, 2015, we entered into a loan agreement to secure a $60.0 million mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort with Bank of America, N.A.  The mortgage term is ten years maturing October 1, 2025, subject to certain criteria. The mortgage bears a fixed interest rate of 4.913%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 30-year schedule. The Company used the proceeds from the mortgage to repay the existing first mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

On October 20, 2015, we secured $2.0 million additional proceeds on the mortgage loan on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront as part of an earn-out pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement.

On December 31, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the existing mortgage loan on the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel which generated additional net proceeds of approximately $2.6 million and received the loan proceeds on January 4, 2016.

On March 21, 2016, we entered into an agreement with the existing lender to extend the maturity of the mortgage on The Whitehall until November 2017.

On June 27, 2016, the Company entered into a promissory note and other loan documents to secure a $35.0 million mortgage on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto with MONY Life Insurance Company.  The mortgage term is ten years maturing July 1, 2026, subject to certain criteria. The mortgage bears a fixed interest rate of 4.25%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 25-year schedule after a 1-year interest-only period. The Company used the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds to fund ongoing renovations at the hotel and for general corporate purposes.

On June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement and other loan documents, including a guaranty of payment by the Operating Partnership, to secure a $19.0 million mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore with Fifth Third Bank.  The mortgage term has an initial term of three years, and may be extended for two additional periods of one year each, subject to certain conditions. The mortgage bears a floating interest rate of the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.75%, subject to a floor rate of 3.75%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 25-year schedule.  The Company used the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of 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 acquisition cost 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.

13

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 changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are 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.

At December 31, 2015, our review of possible impairment at one of our hotel properties revealed an excess of current carrying cost over the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, which was triggered by a combination of a change in anticipated use and future branding of the property and a re-evaluation of future revenues based on anticipated market conditions, market penetration and costs necessary to achieve such market penetration, resulting in an impairment of approximately $0.5 million.

Assets Held For Sale – The Company records assets as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.   

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

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

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

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

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

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The unamortized franchise fees as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $313,377 and $339,542, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $13,083 and $12,750, respectively, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $30,262 and $25,500, respectively.

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 on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in 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.

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

Derivative Instruments – Our derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the 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

14

derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings.

We use derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily are using an interest rate cap which acts as a cash flow hedge. We value our interest-rate cap 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.

Fair Value Measurements –

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

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table represents our investment in hotel property, net, interest rate cap, mortgage loans and unsecured notes measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement:

	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
December 31, 2015
Investment in hotel property, net(1)	$	—		$	—		$	5,700,000
Interest Rate Cap(4)	$	—		$	70,981		$	—
Mortgage loans(2)	$	—		$	(272,933,327	)	$	—
Unsecured notes(3)	$	(54,238,600	)	$	—		$	—
June 30, 2016
Interest Rate Cap(4)	$	—		$	4,907		$	—
Mortgage loans(2)	$	—		$	(281,062,225	)	$	—
Unsecured notes(3)	$	(53,902,800	)	$	—		$	—

(1) A non-recurring fair value measurement was conducted in 2015 for our investment in hotel property, which resulted in impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2015, which represent the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value.

(2) Mortgage loans are reflected at outstanding principal balance net of deferred financing costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(3) Unsecured notes are recorded at outstanding principal balance on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(4) Interest rate cap for our loan on DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, which caps the 1-month LIBOR rate at 2.5%.

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties have been acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners’ pro-rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Company’s common stock; and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership multiplied by the limited partners’ ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company’s common stock through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.

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

15

from restaurant tenants, rooftop leases and gift shop operators. Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Lease Revenue – Several of our properties generate revenue from leasing commercial space adjacent to the hotel, the restaurant space within the hotel, apartment units and space on the roofs of our hotels for antennas and satellite dishes.  We account for the lease income as revenue from other operating departments within the statement of operations pursuant to the terms of each lease.  Lease revenue was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately $0.9 million and $0.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

A schedule of minimum future lease payments receivable for the remaining lease periods is as follows:

Remaining six months ending December 31, 2016	$	730,416
December 31, 2017		941,311
December 31, 2018		430,164
December 31, 2019		313,578
December 31, 2020		273,939
December 31, 2021 and thereafter		1,252,315
Total	$	3,941,723

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject generally include 2010 through 2015. In addition, as of June 30, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which MHI TRS is subject generally include 2004 through 2015.

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 and performance share compensation awards to its employees 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 has made restricted stock and deferred 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 12,000 shares issued to the Chief Financial Officer upon execution of his employment contract which will vest pro rata on each of the next two anniversaries 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 109,100 shares, including 72,350 non-restricted shares to certain executives and employees and 35,500 restricted shares issued to its independent directors.  All awards have vested except for 12,000 shares issued to the Company’s independent directors in January 2016, which will vest on December 31, 2016.  

Previously, under the 2004 Plan, and currently, under the 2013 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. As of June 30, 2016, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Consequently, stock-based compensation as determined under the fair-value method would be the same under the intrinsic-value method. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2004 and 2013 Plans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $201,722 and $276,016, respectively.

16

Advertising – Advertising costs were $120,996 and $56,799 for the three months endedJune 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were $195,059 and $109,655 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

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

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

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

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications in the amount of $4.1 million, from deferred financing costs, net in total assets on the consolidating balance sheet, have been netted against mortgage loans and unsecured debt on the December 31, 2015 balances to conform to the current period presentation. This presentation applies Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, ““Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” Loss on early debt extinguishments in the amount of $698,083 has been reclassified from amortization of deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2015 to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. 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 application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the balance sheets and statements of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 related to“Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense.  The ASU specifies that “issue costs shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the note” and that “amortization of debt issue costs shall also be reported as interest expense.” According to the ASU’s Basis for Conclusions, debt issuance costs incurred before the associated funding is received (i.e., the debt liability) should be reported on the balance sheet as deferred charges until that debt liability amount is recorded.  For public business entities, the guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and is applicable for our interim periods within 2016. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods (i.e., the balance sheet for each period is adjusted).  We adopted this ASU and it is being applied during our 2016 reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 related to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this update affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments: 1. Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities; 2. Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; 3. Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; 4. Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds.  This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  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 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 related to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (for example, assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement

17

(including the constraint on revenue) in this update.  As issued, this ASU is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however the FASB has deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 such that it would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, current on all loan payments and not otherwise in default under any of our mortgage loans, with the exception of The Whitehall mortgage.

Employment Agreements - The Company has entered into various employment contracts with employees that could result in obligations to the Company in the event of a change in control or termination without cause.

Management Agreements – At June 30, 2016, each of our wholly-owned operating hotels was operated under a management agreement with Chesapeake Hospitality.  Effective January 1, 2015, each of our wholly-owned hotels operated under a new master agreement as well as an individual hotel management agreement (see Note 7).  Each of the individual hotel management agreements may be terminated earlier than the stated term upon the sale of the hotel covered by the respective management agreement, in which case we may incur early termination fees.

Franchise Agreements – As of June 30, 2016, most of our hotels operate under franchise licenses from national hotel companies. Under the franchise agreements, we are required to pay a franchise fee generally between 2.5% and 5.0% of room revenues, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems, and other franchisor programs and services that amount to between 2.5% and 6.0% of room revenues from the hotels. The franchise agreements expire between July 2017 and September 2025.    Each of our franchise agreements provides for early termination fees in the event the agreement is terminated before the stated term.

Restricted Cash Reserves – Each month, we are required to escrow with the lenders on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, the Hilton Savannah DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Brownstone-University, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and The Georgian Terrace an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual real estate taxes due for the properties. We are also required by several of our lenders to establish individual property improvement funds to cover the cost of replacing capital assets at our properties. Each month, those contributions equal 4.0% of gross revenues for the Hilton Savannah DeSoto, the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone–University, The Whitehall, Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina and The Georgian Terrace and equal 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport.

Litigation –To our knowledge, we are not involved in any material litigation threatened against us. We are involved in routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business, all of which we expect to be covered by insurance and we believe it is not reasonably possible such matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations or cash flows.

6. Equity

Preferred Stock – The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 27,650 shares were issued as Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and subsequently redeemed and retired in 2013.  None of the remaining authorized shares have been issued.

20

Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue up to 49,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share.

The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or the stockholders of the Company.

There were no issuances or redemptions, since January 1, 2015, of units in the Operating Partnership other than the issuances of units in the Operating Partnership to the Company described above.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total number of Operating Partnership units outstanding was 16,727,791 and 16,691,541, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $5.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of which, approximately $4.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, are due to accumulated net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2028 if not utilized by such time.  As of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately $0.2 million of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to our share of start-up expenses related to the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, 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 believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and that no valuation allowance is required.

12. Income Per Share and Per Unit

Income 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 partners 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 income would also be added back to net income. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below.

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

Overview

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

Our hotel portfolio currently consists of twelve full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels, comprising 3,011 rooms. All of our properties, except for The Georgian Terrace and The Whitehall, operate under well-known brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree and Sheraton.   As of June 30, 2016, we owned the following hotel properties:

	Number
Property	of Rooms		Location	Date of Acquisition	ChainDesignation
Wholly-owned
Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina (1)		173	Hampton, VA	April 24, 2008	Upscale
Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort		311	Hollywood, FL	August 9, 2007	Upscale
Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore		222	Tampa, FL	October 29, 2007	Upscale
DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront		293	Jacksonville, FL	July 22, 2005	Upscale
DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel		208	Laurel, MD	December 21, 2004	Upscale
DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport		331	Philadelphia, PA	December 21, 2004	Upscale
DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University		190	Raleigh, NC	December 21, 2004	Upscale
Georgian Terrace		326	Atlanta, GA	March 27, 2014	Independent(2)
Hilton Savannah DeSoto		246	Savannah, GA	December 21, 2004	Upper Upscale
Hilton Wilmington Riverside		272	Wilmington, NC	December 21, 2004	Upper Upscale
Sheraton Louisville Riverside		180	Jeffersonville, IN	September 20, 2006	Upper Upscale
The Whitehall		259	Houston, TX	November 13, 2013	Independent(2)
Total		3,011

(1) In April 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, which is subject to customary closing conditions. The agreement requires the sale to close on or before August 12, 2016.  We are currently negotiating an extension of the closing date with the purchaser.

(2) We believe that The Georgian Terrace and The Whitehall would each carry a chain scale designation of upper upscale if they were branded hotels.

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 89.4% interest in our Operating Partnership, as of the date of this filing, with the remaining interest being held by limited partners who were the contributors of our initial properties and related assets.

To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate hotels. Therefore, our wholly-owned hotel properties are leased to our TRS Lessees, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.  Our TRS Lessees then engage an eligible independent hotel management company to operate the hotels under a management agreement.  Our TRS Lessee has engaged Chesapeake Hospitality to manage our wholly-owned hotels.  Our TRS Lessees, and their parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into our financial statements for accounting purposes.  The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

Key Operating Metrics

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

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

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

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

26

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), 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.

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

Results of Operations

The following tables illustrate the key operating metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the Company’s wholly-owned properties, during each respective reporting period (“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 six months ended June 30, 2016 and the corresponding period in 2015 (“same-store” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the same-store data does not reflect the performance for the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, which was acquired through a joint venture in August 2007 and in which the Company had a 25.0% indirect interest prior to its acquisition of the remaining 75.0% interest in July 2015.

The increase was mostly attributable to increases in the depreciation related to our acquired property in Hollywood Beach, Florida, accounting for increases of approximately $1.1 million for the period.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased approximately $0.1 million, or 0.8%, to approximately $3.0 million compared to corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses was mainly due to approximately $0.2 million in increased salaries, travel and contribution expenses, offset by a reduction in audit fees by approximately $0.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2015.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased approximately $1.6 million, or 21.4%, to approximately $9.2 million compared to interest expense of approximately $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was substantially related to the assumed mortgage loan for the acquired property in Hollywood Beach, Florida, accounting for an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.5 million for the period, as compared to the same period in 2015.

Equity Income in Joint Venture. Equity income in joint venture for the six months ended June 30, 2015 represented our 25.0% share of the net income of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.  For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we realized approximately $0 and $0.5 million net income, respectively.  

Loss on Early Debt Extinguishment.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016 we refinanced a fixed rate mortgage loan, we had with the C-1 Bank on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore, with a new fixed rate loan from Fifth Third Bank.  The amount of accumulated un-amortized loan costs of $40,236 was written off during the period ending June 30, 2016.  We also refinanced a fixed rate mortgage loan we had with the MONY Life Insurance Co. on the Hilton Savannah Desoto, writing off loan costs of $30,057. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we refinanced a variable rate mortgage loan, we had with the Bank of the Ozarks on The Georgian Terrace, with a new fixed rate loan from Bank of America.  The amount of accumulated un-amortized loan costs of $698,083 was written off during the period ending June 30, 2015.  

Loss on Disposal of Assets.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $140,193, compared to no disposal of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Unrealized Loss on Hedging Activities.  As of June 30, 2016, the fair market value of the interest rate cap, on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront mortgage, is $4,907.  The unrealized loss on hedging activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, was $66,074 and $0, respectively.

30

Gain on involuntary conversion of Asset.  During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a gain on involuntary conversion of asset in the amount of $37,833, compared to no gain on involuntary conversion of asset for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Income Taxes. We had an income tax provision of approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to an income tax provision of approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The income tax provision is primarily derived from the operations of our TRS Lessee.  Our TRS Lessee realized a taxable operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Net Income (Loss).  We realized net income of approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a net income of approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as a result of the operating results discussed above.

31

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider FFO, Adjusted FFO 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”) 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 GAAP.

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

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 its hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, aborted offering costs, franchise termination costs, loan modification fees, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, 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 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.

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) corporate general and administrative expense, (12) depreciation and amortization, (13) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (14) loan modification fees and (15) 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

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 by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $13.5 million.  We had an increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of approximately $4.1 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase is mainly attributable to a net increase of changes in assets and liabilities of approximately $2.9 million and an increase of approximate $1.2 million in other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.  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).

Investing Activities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we used approximately $8.8 million on capital expenditures, of which, approximately $2.0 million related to the routine replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment and $6.8 million related to renovation of our properties in Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Savannah, Georgia.  We also contributed approximately $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 into reserves required by the lenders for ten of our hotels according to the provisions of their respective loan agreements.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we received reimbursements from those reserves of approximately $5.5 million for capital expenditures related to those properties.

Financing Activities. Cash flow provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $8.7 million.  This inflow was comprised of net proceeds from mortgage loans of approximately $12.0 million offset by dividend and distribution payments of $2.8 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million.

34

Capital Expenditures

We anticipate that our need for recurring capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment over the next 12 to 24 months will be at historical norms for our properties and the industry.  Historically, we have aimed to maintain overall capital expenditures, except for those required by our franchisors as a condition to a franchise license or license renewal, at 4.0% of gross revenue.  Below is a description of capital expenditures by property:

· At the Company’s hotel in Houston, Texas, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $5.0 million are complete.  As of June 30, 2016, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $4.8 million toward this renovation.  Renovations were completed in April 2016 and the Company converted the Houston, Texas property to The Whitehall by Sotherly Hotels, an independent hotel and member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

· At the Company’s hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, an estimated $7.0 million guestroom renovation is underway.  As of June 30, 2016, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $6.7 million toward this renovation.  Renovations are substantially complete.

· At the Company’s hotel in Savannah, Georgia, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $8.1 million are underway.  As of June 30, 2016, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $2.8 million toward this renovation.  Renovations are expected to be completed in August 2017.  

Given our desire to complete the renovation activities at our property in Atlanta, Georgia and to continue such activities in Savannah, Georgia, we aim to restrict all other capital expenditures at these hotels during the renovation period to the 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 in Savannah, Georgia.  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% of gross revenues in 2016.

We expect a substantial portion of our capital expenditures for the recurring replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at our properties will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors.  Reserve accounts are escrowed accounts with funds deposited monthly and reserved for capital improvements or expenditures with respect to all of our hotels.  We currently deposit an amount equal to 4.0% of gross revenue for the Hilton Savannah DeSoto, the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside, The Whitehall, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort and The Georgian Terrace as well as 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport on a monthly basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2016, we had total cash of approximately $30.6 million, of which approximately $26.1 million was in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $4.5 million was restricted for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvement and certain other expenses, or otherwise restricted.  We expect that our cash on hand combined with our cash flow from the operations of our hotels should be adequate to fund continuing operations, recurring capital expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and monthly and quarterly scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding any balloon payments due upon maturity of the indentures or mortgage debt).

On March 21, 2016, we entered into an agreement to extend the maturity of the mortgage on The Whitehall until November 2017.

During May 2016, we extended the maturity for the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina to September 30, 2016.  On April 29, 2016, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the property, which is subject to customary closing conditions.  The agreement requires the sale to close on or before August 12, 2016.  We are currently negotiating an extension of the closing date with the purchaser.  If the sale does not close before the maturity date, or at all, we anticipate that we will either seek an extension of the mortgage with the existing lender or satisfy the outstanding balance out of working capital.

On June 27, 2016, the Company, entered into a promissory note and other loan documents to secure a $35.0 million mortgage on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto with MONY Life Insurance Company.  The loan has a maturity date of July 1, 2026. The Company used the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the hotel and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds to fund ongoing renovations at the hotel and for general corporate purposes.

On June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement and other loan documents, including a guaranty of payment by the Operating Partnership, to secure a $19.0 million mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore with Fifth Third Bank.  The loan has an initial term of three years with a maturity on July 1, 2019, and may be extended for two additional periods of one year

35

each, subject to certain conditions. The Company used the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the hotel and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

During the first half of 2017, the mortgages on the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the Hilton Wilmington Riverside mature.  These mortgages contain no extension provisions.  We anticipate refinancing the indebtedness on each property prior to their respective maturity dates.

We will need to, and plan to, renew, replace or extend our existing indebtedness prior to their respective maturity dates.  We are uncertain whether we will be able to refinance these obligations or if refinancing terms will be favorable.  If we are unable to obtain alternative or additional financing arrangements in the future, or if we cannot obtain financing on acceptable terms, we may be forced to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms.  To the extent we cannot repay our outstanding debt, we risk losing some or all of these properties to foreclosure and we could be required to invoke insolvency proceedings including, but not limited to, commencing a voluntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

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

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 Notes (which are callable after September 30, 2016, with respect to the 8% Notes, and November 15, 2017, with respect to the 7% Notes) 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, as well as the selective disposition of non-core assets.  We remain committed to a flexible capital structure and strive to maintain prudent debt leverage.

Financial Covenants

Mortgage Loans

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

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

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

Under the terms of our non-recourse secured mortgage loan agreements, failure to comply with the financial covenants in the loan agreement triggers cash flows from the property to be directed to the lender, which may limit our overall liquidity as that cash flow would not be available to us.

As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, current on all loan payments and not otherwise in default under any of our mortgage loans, with the exception of The Whitehall mortgage. At June 30, 2016, we failed to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) covenant. We are currently in discussions with the existing lender to modify the loan with an extension of the maturity date, a reduction of the principal amount of approximately $3.0 million, and a reduced monthly payment.  We expect that the modification will include a waiver through June 30, 2016 with regard to the DSCR.  Notwithstanding the modification discussions, the existing loan agreement contains a balancing provision that allows us to either pay down the principal balance of the loan or offer cash collateral sufficient to meet the DSCR requirement.

36

Unsecured Notes

The indentures for the 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 indentures, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds thereof, the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt to Adjusted Total Asset Value, as defined in the indentures, 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 indentures, 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.

These financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and are presented below for the sole purpose of evaluating our compliance with the key financial covenants as they were applicable at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Dividend Policy

We intend to continue to declare quarterly distributions to our stockholders.  The amount of future common stock (and Operating Partnership unit) distributions will be based upon quarterly operating results, general economic conditions, requirements for capital improvements, the availability of debt and equity capital, the Internal Revenue Code’s annual distribution requirements and other factors, which the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.  The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors deemed relevant by our directors, and no assurance can be given that our distribution policy will not change in the future.

In January 2016, we increased the quarterly dividend (distribution) to $0.085 per common share (and unit).

In April 2016, we increased the quarterly dividend (distribution) to $0.09 per common share (and unit).

In July 2016, we increased the quarterly dividend (distribution) to $0.095 per common share (and unit).

Through a joint venture with a Carlyle subsidiary, until July 30, 2015 we owned a 25.0% indirect, noncontrolling interest in an entity that acquired the 311-room Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood Beach, Florida in 2007.  Pursuant to the joint venture, we had the right to receive a pro rata share of operating surpluses and we had an obligation to fund our pro rata share of operating shortfalls.  We also had the opportunity to earn an incentive participation in the net proceeds realized from the sale of the hotel based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition to our pro rata share of net sale proceeds.  The Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort was leased to another entity in which we also owned a 25.0% indirect, noncontrolling interest.

Carlyle owned a 75.0% controlling interest in the entities that own and lease the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.  Carlyle had the right to dispose of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort without our consent.  We accounted for our noncontrolling 25.0% interest in all of these entities under the equity method of accounting.

On July 31, 2015, indirect subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership acquired from Carlyle the remaining 75.0% interest in the entities that own and lease the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.  As a result, the Operating Partnership now has a 100% indirect ownership interest in the entities that own the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.  The property was refinanced on September 28, 2015 and is encumbered by a $60.0 million mortgage which matures in September 2025 and requires monthly payments of interest at a rate of 4.913%. The Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort secures the mortgage.

Inflation

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

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

Geographic Concentration and Seasonality

Our hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.  As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse market conditions in these geographic areas, including industry downturns, relocation of businesses and any oversupply of hotel rooms or a reduction in lodging demand.  Adverse economic developments in the markets in

38

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 experience significant room demand during this period.

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 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 changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where our hotels are located.  When such conditions exist, management performs a recoverability analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities and the estimated proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value.  If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are found to be less than the carrying amount of a 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 six months ended June 30, 2016.

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.  Due to our history of earnings without expiration of loss carryforwards coupled with expected future taxable income of our TRS Lessees, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2016.  In conjunction with our ongoing analysis, should negative evidence be identified to suggest that the recoverability of our deferred tax assets no longer remains more likely than not, we would record an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset in the period such determination was made.

Forward Looking Statements

Information included and incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our 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, increases in wages, energy costs and other operating costs;

· the magnitude and sustainability of the economic recovery in the hospitality industry and in the markets in which we operate;

· 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;

· 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.

40

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 June 30, 2016, we had approximately $266.9 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $67.1 million of variable-rate debt.  The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 5.08%.  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 DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront and on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore remain at approximately $67.1 million, the balance at June 30, 2016, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.7 million.

As of December 31, 2015, we had approximately $272.6 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $52.3 million of variable-rate debt.  The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 5.58%.  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 mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport and the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront remains at approximately $52.2 million, the balance at December 31, 2015, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.5 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Sotherly Hotels Inc.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 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 June 30, 2016. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, 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 with the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Sotherly Hotels LP

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Operating Partnership’s management, under the supervision and participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2016. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, 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 with the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. We believe that these routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are not material to our financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

If MHI Holding exceeds certain value thresholds, this could cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT.

For taxable years of the Company ending on or before December 31, 2017, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year of the Company, no more than 25% of the value of the Company’s total assets may consist of securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”).  For taxable years of the Company ending after December 31, 2017, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year of the Company, no more than 20% of the value of the Company’s total assets may consist of securities of one or more TRSs.  MHI Holding is a TRS and the Company may form other TRSs in the future.  The Company plans to monitor the value of its shares of MHI Holding and of any other TRS the Company may form.   However, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not attempt to attribute additional value to the shares of MHI Holding or to the shares of any other TRS that the Company may form.  If the Company is treated as owning securities of one or more TRSs with an aggregate value that is in excess of the thresholds outlined above, the Company could lose its status as a REIT or become subject to penalties.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

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

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

Not applicable.

MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Risk of Loss.  Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any fire or other casualty affecting the Property or of any actual or threatened (to the extent that Seller has current actual knowledge thereof) taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Property.  If before Closing, there shall occur:

(a) damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty if damaged to the extent of more than thirty percent (30%) of the Purchase Price and, in connection therewith, Seller shall repair such damage and the Closing Date shall be extended by one day for each day it takes Seller to make such repair, not to exceed sixty (60) days; or

then, in such event, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof delivered to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received notice from Seller.  If Buyer does not so timely elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein and there shall be assigned to Buyer at the Closing all interest of Seller in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable to Seller on account of that event, less sums which Seller incurs before the Closing to repair any of the damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty is thirty percent (30%) of the Purchase Price or less, and, in connection therewith, Seller shall repair such damage and the Closing Date shall be extended by one day for each day it takes Seller to make such repair, not to exceed sixty (60) days, then Buyer shall be obligated to proceed to close on the purchase of the Property.

13.5 Governing Law; Venue.  The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without regard to conflicts of law) shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement.  On any litigation arising out of or under this Agreement and/or out of Buyer’s ownership, operation of or other activities on the Property, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  Buyer and Seller hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Norfolk Division, as the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any suit or other proceeding brought in connection with or arising out of this Agreement.

Organization and Description of Business

1. Organization and Description of Business

Sotherly Hotels Inc., formerly MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”), is a self-managed and self-administered lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and southern United States.  Currently, the Company is focused on the acquisition, renovation, upbranding and repositioning of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States.  The Company’s portfolio consists of investments in twelve hotel properties, comprising 3,011 rooms.  All of the Company’s hotels, except for The Georgian Terrace and The Whitehall, operate under the Hilton, Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree, and Sheraton brands.

The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (the “initial properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP, formerly MHI Hospitality, L.P. (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’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 June 30, 2016, was approximately 89.4% owned by the Company, and its subsidiaries, lease the hotels to a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages an eligible independent hotel management company, MHI Hotels Services, LLC, which does business as Chesapeake Hospitality (“Chesapeake Hospitality”), to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

All references in this report 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.

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

On May 5, 2015, the Company obtained a $47.0 million mortgage with Bank of America N.A. on The Georgian Terrace in Atlanta, Georgia.  The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.42% and provides for level payments of principal and interest on a monthly basis under a 30-year amortization schedule.  The maturity date is June 1, 2025.  The Company used the proceeds of the mortgage to repay the existing first mortgage and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds to partially fund ongoing renovations at The Georgian Terrace and for general corporate purposes.

During June 2015, the Company sold 98,682 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $0.7 million, which it contributed to the Operating Partnership for an equivalent number of units.

On July 1, 2015, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $19.8 million, which it contributed to the Operating Partnership for an equivalent number of units.  

On July 7, 2015, we entered into a loan agreement and other loan documents to secure an $18.5 million mortgage with Bank of the Ozarks collateralized by a first mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront. The $18.5 million mortgage was received in two parts. We received $18.0 million on July 7, 2015 and the remainder of $0.5 million on October 20, 2015.  The $0.5 million was included with the additional earn-out provision of $1.5 million, for a total of $2.0 million additional proceeds, as described below.  The mortgage term is four years maturing July 7, 2019 and may be extended for one additional period of one year, subject to certain criteria. The mortgage bears a floating interest rate of the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.5%, subject to a floor rate of 4.0%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 25-year schedule; and has a prepayment penalty if prepaid during the initial two years. The Company used the proceeds from the mortgage to repay the existing first mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, to pay closing costs, to partially fund ongoing renovations at the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront and for general corporate purposes.

On July 17, 2015, the Company sold 435,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $2.8 million, which it contributed to the Operating Partnership for an equivalent number of units.

On July 31, 2015, we acquired the remaining 75% interest in (i) the entity that owns the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, and (ii) the entity that leases the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.  As a result, the Operating Partnership now has a 100% indirect ownership interest in the entities that own the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort.

On September 2, 2015, we closed on the sale of a 0.3 acre parcel of excess land adjacent to our Atlanta, Georgia property for $2.2 million.  The parcel was included in the acquisition of The Georgian Terrace in March 2014.  We used the proceeds of the sale for general corporate purposes.

On September 28, 2015, we entered into a loan agreement to secure a $60.0 million mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort with Bank of America, N.A.  The mortgage term is ten years maturing October 1, 2025, subject to certain criteria. The mortgage bears a fixed interest rate of 4.913%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 30-year schedule. The Company used the proceeds from the mortgage to repay the existing first mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

On October 20, 2015, we secured $2.0 million additional proceeds on the mortgage loan on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront as part of an earn-out pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement.

On December 31, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the existing mortgage loan on the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel which generated additional net proceeds of approximately $2.6 million and received the loan proceeds on January 4, 2016.

On March 21, 2016, we entered into an agreement with the existing lender to extend the maturity of the mortgage on The Whitehall until November 2017.

On June 27, 2016, the Company entered into a promissory note and other loan documents to secure a $35.0 million mortgage on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto with MONY Life Insurance Company.  The mortgage term is ten years maturing July 1, 2026, subject to certain criteria. The mortgage bears a fixed interest rate of 4.25%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 25-year schedule after a 1-year interest-only period. The Company used the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds to fund ongoing renovations at the hotel and for general corporate purposes.

On June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement and other loan documents, including a guaranty of payment by the Operating Partnership, to secure a $19.0 million mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore with Fifth Third Bank.  The mortgage term has an initial term of three years, and may be extended for two additional periods of one year each, subject to certain conditions. The mortgage bears a floating interest rate of the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.75%, subject to a floor rate of 3.75%.  The mortgage amortizes on a 25-year schedule.  The Company used the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 acquisition cost 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 changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are 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.

At December 31, 2015, our review of possible impairment at one of our hotel properties revealed an excess of current carrying cost over the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, which was triggered by a combination of a change in anticipated use and future branding of the property and a re-evaluation of future revenues based on anticipated market conditions, market penetration and costs necessary to achieve such market penetration, resulting in an impairment of approximately $0.5 million.

Assets Held For Sale – The Company records assets as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.   

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

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

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

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

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

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The unamortized franchise fees as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $313,377 and $339,542, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $13,083 and $12,750, respectively, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $30,262 and $25,500, respectively.

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 on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in 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.

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

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

We use derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily are using an interest rate cap which acts as a cash flow hedge. We value our interest-rate cap 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.

Fair Value Measurements –

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

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table represents our investment in hotel property, net, interest rate cap, mortgage loans and unsecured notes measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement:

	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
December 31, 2015
Investment in hotel property, net(1)	$	—		$	—		$	5,700,000
Interest Rate Cap(4)	$	—		$	70,981		$	—
Mortgage loans(2)	$	—		$	(272,933,327	)	$	—
Unsecured notes(3)	$	(54,238,600	)	$	—		$	—
June 30, 2016
Interest Rate Cap(4)	$	—		$	4,907		$	—
Mortgage loans(2)	$	—		$	(281,062,225	)	$	—
Unsecured notes(3)	$	(53,902,800	)	$	—		$	—

(1) A non-recurring fair value measurement was conducted in 2015 for our investment in hotel property, which resulted in impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2015, which represent the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value.

(2) Mortgage loans are reflected at outstanding principal balance net of deferred financing costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(3) Unsecured notes are recorded at outstanding principal balance on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(4) Interest rate cap for our loan on DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, which caps the 1-month LIBOR rate at 2.5%.

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties have been acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners’ pro-rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Company’s common stock; and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership multiplied by the limited partners’ ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company’s common stock through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, parking, gift shop sales and rentals from restaurant tenants, rooftop leases and gift shop operators. Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Lease Revenue – Several of our properties generate revenue from leasing commercial space adjacent to the hotel, the restaurant space within the hotel, apartment units and space on the roofs of our hotels for antennas and satellite dishes.  We account for the lease income as revenue from other operating departments within the statement of operations pursuant to the terms of each lease.  Lease revenue was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately $0.9 million and $0.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

A schedule of minimum future lease payments receivable for the remaining lease periods is as follows:

Remaining six months ending December 31, 2016	$	730,416
December 31, 2017		941,311
December 31, 2018		430,164
December 31, 2019		313,578
December 31, 2020		273,939
December 31, 2021 and thereafter		1,252,315
Total	$	3,941,723

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject generally include 2010 through 2015. In addition, as of June 30, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which MHI TRS is subject generally include 2004 through 2015.

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 and performance share compensation awards to its employees 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 has made restricted stock and deferred 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 12,000 shares issued to the Chief Financial Officer upon execution of his employment contract which will vest pro rata on each of the next two anniversaries 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 109,100 shares, including 72,350 non-restricted shares to certain executives and employees and 35,500 restricted shares issued to its independent directors.  All awards have vested except for 12,000 shares issued to the Company’s independent directors in January 2016, which will vest on December 31, 2016.  

Previously, under the 2004 Plan, and currently, under the 2013 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. As of June 30, 2016, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Consequently, stock-based compensation as determined under the fair-value method would be the same under the intrinsic-value method. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2004 and 2013 Plans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $201,722 and $276,016, respectively.

Advertising – Advertising costs were $120,996 and $56,799 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were $195,059 and $109,655 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

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

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

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

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications in the amount of $4.1 million, from deferred financing costs, net in total assets on the consolidating balance sheet, have been netted against mortgage loans and unsecured debt on the December 31, 2015 balances to conform to the current period presentation. This presentation applies Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, ““Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” Loss on early debt extinguishments in the amount of $698,083 has been reclassified from amortization of deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2015 to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. 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 application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the balance sheets and statements of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 related to“Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense.  The ASU specifies that “issue costs shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the note” and that “amortization of debt issue costs shall also be reported as interest expense.” According to the ASU’s Basis for Conclusions, debt issuance costs incurred before the associated funding is received (i.e., the debt liability) should be reported on the balance sheet as deferred charges until that debt liability amount is recorded.  For public business entities, the guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and is applicable for our interim periods within 2016. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods (i.e., the balance sheet for each period is adjusted).  We adopted this ASU and it is being applied during our 2016 reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 related to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this update affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments: 1. Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities; 2. Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; 3. Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; 4. Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds.  This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  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 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 related to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (for example, assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this update.  As issued, this ASU is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however the FASB has deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 such that it would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, current on all loan payments and not otherwise in default under any of our mortgage loans, with the exception of The Whitehall mortgage. At June 30, 2016, we failed to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) covenant. We are currently in discussions with the existing lender to modify the loan with an extension of the maturity date, a reduction of the principal amount of approximately $3.0 million, and a reduced monthly payment.  We expect that the modification will include a waiver through June 30, 2016 with regard to the DSCR.  Notwithstanding the modification discussions, the existing loan agreement contains a balancing provision that allows us to either pay down the principal balance of the loan or offer cash collateral sufficient to meet the DSCR requirement.

Employment Agreements - The Company has entered into various employment contracts with employees that could result in obligations to the Company in the event of a change in control or termination without cause.

Management Agreements – At June 30, 2016, each of our wholly-owned operating hotels was operated under a management agreement with Chesapeake Hospitality.  Effective January 1, 2015, each of our wholly-owned hotels operated under a new master agreement as well as an individual hotel management agreement (see Note 7).  Each of the individual hotel management agreements may be terminated earlier than the stated term upon the sale of the hotel covered by the respective management agreement, in which case we may incur early termination fees.

Franchise Agreements – As of June 30, 2016, most of our hotels operate under franchise licenses from national hotel companies. Under the franchise agreements, we are required to pay a franchise fee generally between 2.5% and 5.0% of room revenues, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems, and other franchisor programs and services that amount to between 2.5% and 6.0% of room revenues from the hotels. The franchise agreements expire between July 2017 and September 2025.    Each of our franchise agreements provides for early termination fees in the event the agreement is terminated before the stated term.

Restricted Cash Reserves – Each month, we are required to escrow with the lenders on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, the Hilton Savannah DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Brownstone-University, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and The Georgian Terrace an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual real estate taxes due for the properties. We are also required by several of our lenders to establish individual property improvement funds to cover the cost of replacing capital assets at our properties. Each month, those contributions equal 4.0% of gross revenues for the Hilton Savannah DeSoto, the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone–University, The Whitehall, Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina and The Georgian Terrace and equal 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport.

Litigation –To our knowledge, we are not involved in any material litigation threatened against us. We are involved in routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business, all of which we expect to be covered by insurance and we believe it is not reasonably possible such matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations or cash flows.

Preferred Stock – The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 27,650 shares were issued as Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and subsequently redeemed and retired in 2013.  None of the remaining authorized shares have been issued.

Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue up to 49,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive distributions when authorized by the Company’s board of directors out of assets legally available for the payment of distributions.

The following is a schedule of issuances, since January 1, 2015, of the Company’s common stock:

On February 2, 2016, the Company was issued 36,250 units in the Operating Partnership and awarded an aggregate of 22,000 shares of unrestricted stock to certain executives and employees as well as 12,000 shares of restricted stock and 2,250 shares of unrestricted stock to certain of its independent directors.

On February 1, 2016, two holders of units in the Operating Partnership redeemed 422,687 units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

On September 16, 2015, one holder of units in the Operating Partnership redeemed a total of 200,000 units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or the stockholders of the Company.

There were no issuances or redemptions, since January 1, 2015, of units in the Operating Partnership other than the issuances of units in the Operating Partnership to the Company described above.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $5.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of which, approximately $4.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, are due to accumulated net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2028 if not utilized by such time.  As of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately $0.2 million of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to our share of start-up expenses related to the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, 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 believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and that no valuation allowance is required.

Income 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 partners 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 income would also be added back to net income.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties include investments in operating properties which are recorded at acquisition cost 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 changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are 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.

At December 31, 2015, our review of possible impairment at one of our hotel properties revealed an excess of current carrying cost over the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, which was triggered by a combination of a change in anticipated use and future branding of the property and a re-evaluation of future revenues based on anticipated market conditions, market penetration and costs necessary to achieve such market penetration, resulting in an impairment of approximately $0.5 million.

Assets Held For Sale

Assets Held For Sale – The Company records assets as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.   

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

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

Restricted Cash

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

Accounts Receivable

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

Franchise License Fees

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The unamortized franchise fees as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $313,377 and $339,542, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $13,083 and $12,750, respectively, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $30,262 and $25,500, respectively.

Deferred Financing and Offering Costs

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 on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in 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.

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

Derivative Instruments

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

We use derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily are using an interest rate cap which acts as a cash flow hedge. We value our interest-rate cap 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.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements –

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

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table represents our investment in hotel property, net, interest rate cap, mortgage loans and unsecured notes measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement:

	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
December 31, 2015
Investment in hotel property, net(1)	$	—		$	—		$	5,700,000
Interest Rate Cap(4)	$	—		$	70,981		$	—
Mortgage loans(2)	$	—		$	(272,933,327	)	$	—
Unsecured notes(3)	$	(54,238,600	)	$	—		$	—

Mortgage loans(2)	$	—		$	(281,062,225	)	$	—
Unsecured notes(3)	$	(53,902,800	)	$	—		$	—

(1) A non-recurring fair value measurement was conducted in 2015 for our investment in hotel property, which resulted in impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2015, which represent the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value.

(2) Mortgage loans are reflected at outstanding principal balance net of deferred financing costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(3) Unsecured notes are recorded at outstanding principal balance on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(4) Interest rate cap for our loan on DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, which caps the 1-month LIBOR rate at 2.5%.

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties have been acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners’ pro-rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Company’s common stock; and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership multiplied by the limited partners’ ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company’s common stock through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition – Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, parking, gift shop sales and rentals from restaurant tenants, rooftop leases and gift shop operators. Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Lease Revenue

Lease Revenue – Several of our properties generate revenue from leasing commercial space adjacent to the hotel, the restaurant space within the hotel, apartment units and space on the roofs of our hotels for antennas and satellite dishes.  We account for the lease income as revenue from other operating departments within the statement of operations pursuant to the terms of each lease.  Lease revenue was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately $0.9 million and $0.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

A schedule of minimum future lease payments receivable for the remaining lease periods is as follows:

Remaining six months ending December 31, 2016	$	730,416
December 31, 2017		941,311
December 31, 2018		430,164
December 31, 2019		313,578
December 31, 2020		273,939
December 31, 2021 and thereafter		1,252,315
Total	$	3,941,723

Income Taxes

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject generally include 2010 through 2015. In addition, as of June 30, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which MHI TRS is subject generally include 2004 through 2015.

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

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 and performance share compensation awards to its employees 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 has made restricted stock and deferred 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 12,000 shares issued to the Chief Financial Officer upon execution of his employment contract which will vest pro rata on each of the next two anniversaries 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 109,100 shares, including 72,350 non-restricted shares to certain executives and employees and 35,500 restricted shares issued to its independent directors.  All awards have vested except for 12,000 shares issued to the Company’s independent directors in January 2016, which will vest on December 31, 2016.  

Previously, under the 2004 Plan, and currently, under the 2013 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. As of June 30, 2016, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Consequently, stock-based compensation as determined under the fair-value method would be the same under the intrinsic-value method. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2004 and 2013 Plans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $201,722 and $276,016, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising – Advertising costs were $120,996 and $56,799 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were $195,059 and $109,655 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Comprehensive Income

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

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

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassifications

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications in the amount of $4.1 million, from deferred financing costs, net in total assets on the consolidating balance sheet, have been netted against mortgage loans and unsecured debt on the December 31, 2015 balances to conform to the current period presentation. This presentation applies Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, ““Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” Loss on early debt extinguishments in the amount of $698,083 has been reclassified from amortization of deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2015 to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. 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 application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the balance sheets and statements of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 related to“Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense.  The ASU specifies that “issue costs shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the note” and that “amortization of debt issue costs shall also be reported as interest expense.” According to the ASU’s Basis for Conclusions, debt issuance costs incurred before the associated funding is received (i.e., the debt liability) should be reported on the balance sheet as deferred charges until that debt liability amount is recorded.  For public business entities, the guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and is applicable for our interim periods within 2016. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods (i.e., the balance sheet for each period is adjusted).  We adopted this ASU and it is being applied during our 2016 reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 related to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this update affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments: 1. Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities; 2. Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; 3. Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; 4. Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds.  This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  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 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 related to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (for example, assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this update.  As issued, this ASU is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however the FASB has deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 such that it would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
