Basis of Presentation
 
We prepare our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As interim statements, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP have been included. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year of 2023. For further information, please read the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the accounts of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as variable interest entities, if any, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We evaluate joint venture partnerships to determine if they should be consolidated based on whether the partners exercise joint control. For a joint venture where we exercise primary control and we also own a majority of the equity interests, we consolidate the joint venture partnership. We have consolidated the accounts of all of our joint venture partnerships in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Real Estate Development Loans

We selectively provide mezzanine financing to developers where we also have the opportunity to acquire the lodging property at or after the completion of the development project. We classify mezzanine financing loans as Investments in lodging property, net or Investments in real estate loans, net based on the terms of the mezzanine financing loan agreements and criteria for classifying an arrangement as a loan or an investment in real estate under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 310, Receivables. At June 30, 2023, we have one mezzanine financing loan that we have classified in Investments in lodging property, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Trade Receivables and Current Estimate of Credit Losses

Financial assets (or a group of financial assets) such as real estate development loans and other notes receivable are measured at amortized cost and presented at the net amount expected to be collected in accordance with ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). We record an allowance for credit losses as a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We routinely evaluate our real estate development loans, notes receivable and interest receivable for collectability. Probable losses on loans are recognized in a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the loans and recorded as a provision for credit losses in our condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. When we place a loan on non-accrual status, we suspend the recognition of interest income until cash interest payments are received. Generally, we return loans to accrual status when all delinquent interest becomes current, and collectability is reasonably assured. We do not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable is written-off to bad debt expense when collection is not reasonably assured.

We grant credit to qualified guests, generally without collateral, in the form of trade accounts receivable. Trade receivables result from the rental of guestrooms and the sales of food, beverage, and banquet services and are payable under normal trade terms. Trade receivables also include credit and debit card transactions that are in the process of being settled. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the guest and do not accrue interest. We regularly review the collectability of our trade receivables. A provision for losses is determined on the basis of previous loss experience and current economic conditions. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Purchase Option

When we provide mezzanine financing to a developer, we will generally receive a purchase option to acquire a majority interest in the property upon completion of construction. For purchase options with fixed exercise prices at inception, we record the purchase options at their estimated fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurement, under a closed-form model such as the Black-Scholes model or a binomial lattice model such as the Monte Carlo simulation model. Purchase options received in connection with a mezzanine financing loan are recorded as a discount on the note receivable or a contra-asset, depending on the classification of the financial instrument, and amortized over the term of the mezzanine financing loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, as non-cash interest income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We elected to account for purchase options using the measurement alternative, which is cost less impairment, if any. If the fair value of the financial instrument can be determined from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, then we will record the financial instrument at fair value and adjust the carrying amount for changes in fair value in each period.
Exchange or Modification of Debt

We consider modifications or exchanges of debt as extinguishments in accordance with ASC No. 470, Debt, with gains or losses recognized in current earnings if the terms of the new debt and original instrument are substantially different. If the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt is initially recorded at fair value, with the difference recognized as an extinguishment gain or loss. Under an exchange or modification accounted for as a debt extinguishment, fees paid to the lenders are included in the gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. Costs incurred with third parties, such as legal fees, directly related to the exchange or modification are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the initial term of the new debt. Previously deferred fees and costs for existing debt are included in the calculation of gain or loss. Under an exchange or modification not accounted for as a debt extinguishment, fees paid to the lenders are reflected as additional debt discount and amortized as non-cash interest expense over the remaining initial term of the exchanged or modified debt. Furthermore, costs incurred with third parties, such as legal fees, directly related to the exchange or modification are expensed as incurred. Additionally, previously deferred fees and costs are amortized as non-cash interest expense over the remaining initial term of the exchanged or modified debt.

Financial Guarantee

On occasion, we may provide a financial guarantee on behalf of a mezzanine borrower. We record the non-contingent portion of financial guarantees made on behalf of third-parties as a liability at an amount equal to the premium receivable for the guarantee payable to us by the borrower under the practical expedient provided by ASC No. 460, Guarantees. We periodically evaluate the contingent component of a financial guarantee based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that may require us to record a liability related to the contingent component of a guarantee. We will record a liability for the contingent component of the guarantee when a payment by us under the guarantee is probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC No. 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

Redeemable non-controlling interests represent redeemable preferred units issued by our Operating Partnership ("Redeemable Preferred Units"). The Redeemable Preferred Units are presented as temporary equity related to our Operating Partnership on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption of "Redeemable Non-controlling Interests." See "Note 9 - Non-controlling Interests and Redeemable Non-controlling Interests" for further information. We record redeemable non-controlling interests at fair value on the issuance date of the securities. When the carrying value (the acquisition date fair value adjusted for the non-controlling interest’s share of net income (loss) and dividends) is less than the redemption value, we adjust the redeemable non-controlling interest to equal the redemption value with changes recognized as an adjustment to Accumulated deficit and distributions in excess of retained earnings. Any such adjustment, when necessary, is recorded as of the applicable balance sheet date.

Non-controlling Interests 

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of equity in a consolidated entity held by owners other than the consolidating parent. Non-controlling interests are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from stockholders’ equity. Revenues, expenses and net income attributable to both the Company and the non-controlling interests are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include non-controlling interests related to Common Units held by unaffiliated third parties and third-party minority ownership interests in our joint ventures.  

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. We apply the two-class method of computing EPS, which requires the calculation of separate EPS amounts for participating securities. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the basic per-share calculation.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, as adjusted for dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus dilutive securities. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted per-share calculation. Potentially dilutive shares include unvested restricted share grants, unvested performance share grants, shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Common Units of our Operating Partnership.

Use of Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could materially differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Reclassifications

A portfolio of two lodging properties with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately $49.9 million that were classified as Assets Held for Sale at December 31, 2022 have been reclassified to Investments in Lodging Property, net as the proposed sale of the properties was terminated during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
