Supertel Hospitality, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

(Unaudited)

General

Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (SHI) was incorporated in Virginia on August 23, 1994. SHI is a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes.

SHI, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Supertel Hospitality REIT Trust and E&P REIT Trust (collectively, the “Company”) owns a controlling interest in Supertel Limited Partnership (“SLP”) and E&P Financing Limited Partnership (“E&P LP”). All of the Company’s interests in 73 properties with the exception of furniture, fixtures and equipment on 54 properties held by TRS Leasing, Inc. and its subsidiaries are held directly or indirectly by E&P LP, SLP or Solomon’s Beacon Inn Limited Partnership (SBILP) (collectively, the “Partnerships”). The Company’s interests in eleven properties are held directly by either SPPR-Hotels, LLC (SHLLC), SPPR-South Bend, LLC (SSBLLC), SPPR-BMI, LLC (SBMILLC) or SPPR-Dowell, LLC (SDLLC). SHI, through Supertel Hospitality REIT Trust, is the sole general partner in SLP and at March 31, 2013 owned approximately 99% of the partnership interests in SLP. SLP is the general partner in SBILP. At March 31, 2013, SLP and SHI owned 99% and 1% interests in SBILP, respectively, and SHI owned 100% of Supertel Hospitality Management, Inc, SPPR Holdings, Inc. (SPPRHI), SPPR-BMI Holdings, Inc. (SBMIHI) and SPPR-Dowell Holdings, Inc. (SDHI). SLP and SBMIHI owned 99% and 1% of SBMILLC, respectively, SLP and SPPRHI owned 99% and 1% of SHLLC, respectively, SLP owned 100% of SSBLLC and SLP and SDHI owned 99% and 1% of SDLLC, respectively. References to “we”, “our”, and “us”, herein refer to Supertel Hospitality, Inc., including as the context requires, its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned 84 limited service hotels. All of the hotels are leased to our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary, TRS Leasing, Inc. (“TRS”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “TRS Lessee”), and are managed by eligible independent contractors: Hospitality Management Advisors, Inc. (“HMA”), Strand Development Company, LLC (“Strand”), Kinseth Hotel Corporation (“Kinseth”), Cherry Cove Hospitality Management, LLC (“Cherry Cove”) and HLC Hotels Inc. (“HLC”).

HMA manages 20 Company hotels in Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia and Florida. Strand manages the Company’s seven economy extended-stay hotels in Georgia and South Carolina as well as 14 additional Company hotels located in Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Kinseth manages 36 Company hotels in eight states primarily in the Midwest. Cherry Cove manages one Company hotel in Maryland. Each of the management agreements with HMA, Strand and Kinseth expires on May 31, 2014, and the management agreement with Cherry Cove expires on May 24, 2015. The management agreements renew for additional terms of one year unless either party to the agreement gives the other party written notice of termination at least 90 days before the end of a term.

Each of HMA, Strand, Kinseth, and Cherry Cove receives a monthly management fee with respect to the hotels they manage equal to 3.5% of the gross hotel revenue and 2.25% of hotel net operating income (“NOI”). NOI is equal to gross hotel income less operating expenses (exclusive of management fees, certain insurance premiums and employee bonuses, and personal and real property taxes).

HLC manages the Company’s six Masters Inn hotels. The management agreement, as amended, provides for HLC to operate and manage the hotels through December 31, 2013 and receive management fees equal to 5.0% of the gross revenues derived from the operation of the hotels and incentive fees equal to 10% of the annual operating income of the hotels in excess of 10.5% of the Company’s investment in the hotels.

Supertel Hospitality, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

The management agreements generally require TRS Lessee to fund debt service, working capital needs, capital expenditures and third-party operating expenses for the management companies excluding those expenses not related to the operation of the hotels. TRS Lessee is responsible for obtaining and maintaining insurance policies with respect to the hotels.

The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates, revenues and operating results for hotels operating in the geographic areas in which we operate are greater in the second and third quarters of the calendar year than in the first and fourth quarters, with the exception of our hotels located in Florida, which experience peak demand in the first and fourth quarters of the year.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company has prepared the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 without audit, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. Balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, fair value accounting requires bifurcation of certain embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement at their fair value for accounting purposes. The conversion feature embedded in the Series C convertible preferred stock was evaluated, and it was determined that the conversion features should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a freestanding derivative. In addition the common stock warrants issued with the Series C convertible preferred stock were also determined to be freestanding derivatives. The following summarizes our derivative liabilities at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

 

     March 31,
2013
     December 31,

Three months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

(Unaudited)

 

The amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation, setting forth the terms of the Series C convertible preferred stock, the host instrument, includes an antidilution provision that requires an adjustment in the common stock conversion ratio should subsequent issuances of the Company’s common stock be issued below the instruments’ original conversion price of $1.00 per share. Accordingly we bifurcated the embedded conversion feature which is shown as a derivative liability recorded at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The agreement setting forth the terms of the common stock warrants issued to the holders of the Series C convertible preferred stock also includes an antidilution provision that requires a reduction in the warrant’s exercise price of $1.20 should the conversion ratio of the Series C convertible preferred stock be adjusted due to antidilution provisions. Accordingly, the warrants do not qualify for equity classification, and, as a result, the fair value of the derivative is shown as a derivative liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined 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. Fair value measurements are utilized to determine the value of certain liabilities, to perform impairment assessments, and for disclosure purposes. In February 2012 the Company issued financial instruments with features that were determined to be derivative liabilities, and as a result must be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall. In addition we apply the fair value provisions of ASC 820-10-35 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Subsequent Measurement, for our nonfinancial assets which include our held for sale hotels, and the disclosure of the fair value of our debt.

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 non-financial asset valuations use unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available, including our own data. Financial asset and liability valuation inputs include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market

activity and that are significant to the fair value of the liability; this includes pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Non financial assets

Nonfinancial asset fair value measurements are discussed below in the note “Impairment Losses.”

Financial instruments

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined by the Monte Carlo simulation method. The Monte Carlo simulation method is a generally accepted statistical method used to generate a defined number of stock price paths in order to develop a reasonable estimate of the range of future expected stock prices of the Company and its peer group and minimizes standard error.

The fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the table above that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and the realized and unrealized gains (losses) recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Other income (expenses) during that period (in thousands).

Discontinued Operations – Hotel Properties Held for Sale and Sold

At December 31, 2012, the Company had 22 hotels identified that it intends to sell and that met the Company’s criteria to be classified as held for sale (the “Sale Hotels”). During the three months ended March 31, 2013, two hotels were sold, with no gain or loss. The two hotels sold were a Days Inn in Fredericksburg, Virginia (North) and a Guesthouse Inn in Ellenton, Florida. This brings the total number of hotels classified as held for sale to 20 as of March 31, 2013.

In accordance with FASB ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, gains, losses and impairment losses on hotel properties sold or classified as held for sale are presented in discontinued operations. The operating results of the hotels held for sale and sold are included in discontinued operations and are summarized below. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include twenty hotels held for sale and two hotels that were sold in the first quarter of 2013. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 include twenty hotels held for sale, two hotels that were sold in the first quarter of 2013 and fifteen hotels that were sold in 2012 (in thousands):

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation for the effects of any dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, if any. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented below:

The net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest is allocated between continuing and discontinued operations. Additionally, unvested stock awards, warrants, the Series C convertible preferred stock, and the preferred operating units have been omitted from the denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, since the effects of including these awards in the denominator would be antidilutive due to the loss from continuing operations applicable to common shareholders.

On January 10, 2013, the Company obtained a $2.4 million loan from First State Bank in Fremont, Nebraska. The loan was secured by four hotels, one of which was subsequently sold, bears interest at 5.5%, and matures on September 1, 2016. Proceeds of the loan were used for general corporate purposes.

On February 13, 2013, the Company sold a Guesthouse Inn in Ellenton, Florida (63 rooms) for $1.26 million, and a Days Inn in Fredericksburg, Virginia (North) (120 rooms) for $2.05 million. Proceeds from the sales of the two properties were used to pay off the associated debt, while the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

On February 21, 2013, the rate on the $2.9 million balance owed to Elkhorn Valley Bank was lowered from 6.25% to 5.50%.

On March 26, 2013, the Company amended its credit facilities with Great Western Bank to (a) extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014 and decrease the interest rate from 5.95% to 4.95% and (b) extend the maturity date of the term loans from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2015 and decrease the interest rate from 6.00% to 5.00%.

On March 28, 2013, the Company paid $5.3 million on a loan with GE Franchise Finance Commercial LLC, using funds from the revolving credit facility with Great Western Bank, in exchange for the release of three Masters Inn properties. One of these properties, a Masters Inn in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was subsequently sold on May 1, 2013 for $1.8 million.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had long-term debt of $115.6 million associated with assets held for use, consisting of notes and mortgages payable, with a weighted average term to maturity of 3.6 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%. The weighted average fixed rate was 6.1%, and the weighted average variable rate was 3.9%. Debt held on properties in continuing operations is classified as held for use. Debt is classified as held for sale if the properties collateralizing it are included in discontinued operations. Debt associated with assets held for sale is classified as a short-term liability due within the next year irrespective of whether the notes and mortgages evidencing such debt mature within the next year. Aggregate annual principal payments on debt associated with assets held for use for the remainder of 2013 and thereafter, and debt associated with assets held for sale, are as follows (in thousands):

At March 31, 2013, the Company had $3.0 million of principal due in 2013. This amount consists entirely of principal amortization on mortgage loans.

We are required to comply with certain financial covenants for some of our lenders. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. As a result, we are not in default of any of our loans.

Our credit facilities with Great Western Bank require us to maintain a loan-specific debt service coverage ratio of 1.20:1 or more. In the event the ratio is below the requirement on any measurement date, the loan agreement provides for an automatic decrease in the availability of the revolving credit facility in an amount sufficient to meet the required ratio. On March 31, 2013 the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio was 1.18:1; accordingly, the availability of our revolving credit facility was decreased from $12.5 million to $12.1 million to maintain compliance with the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio requirement of 1.20:1. The availability of our revolving credit facility is adjusted quarterly, subject to maximum availability of $12.5 million.

Stock-Based Compensation

Non Vested Share Awards

On May 22, 2012 share awards totaling 45,000 shares were made to two executive officers of the Company in accordance with the Plan at a grant date price of $0.90. The shares vest based on continued employment of the executives, and the restrictions lapse in 50% increments on each of the first and second anniversary of issuance.

Investment Committee Share Compensation

In March 2012 the Board of Directors approved the recommendation by the Compensation Committee that the independent directors serving as members of the Investment Committee receive their monthly Investment committee fees in the form of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued under the 2006 Stock Plan, priced as the average of the closing price of the stock for the first 20 trading days for the calendar year. The shares issued to the independent directors of the Investment Committee for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 0 and 4,365, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The expense recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 for share-based compensation related to employees and directors was approximately $12,500 and $3,400, respectively.

Impairment Losses

Held for use

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall – Subsequent Measurement, the Company analyzes its assets for impairment when events or circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. As part of this process, the Company utilizes a two-step analysis to determine whether a trigger event (within the meaning of ASC 360-10-35) has occurred with respect to cash flow of, or a significant adverse change in business climate for, its hotel properties. Quarterly and annually the Company reviews all of its held for use hotels to determine any property whose cash flow or operating performance significantly underperformed from budget or prior year, which the Company has set as a shortfall against budget or prior year as 15% or greater.

Each quarter we apply a second analysis on those properties identified in the 15% change analysis or which have had a trigger event. The analysis estimates the expected future cash flows to identify any property whose carrying amount potentially exceeded the recoverable value. In performing this analysis, the Company makes the following assumptions:

 

   

Holding periods range from three to five years for non-core assets, and ten years for those assets considered as core.

Cash flow from trailing twelve months for the individual properties multiplied by the holding period as noted above. The Company does not assume growth rates on cash flows as part of its step one analysis.

 

   

A revenue multiplier for the terminal value based on an average of historical sales from leading industry broker of like properties was applied according to the assigned holding period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, no trigger events as described in ASC 360-10-35 occurred for any of our held for use hotels.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, no trigger events as described in ASC 360-10-35 occurred for any of our held for use hotels. We recorded recovery of impairment on one hotel reclassified as held for use from held for sale in the amount of $0.3 million.

Held for sale

During the three months ending March 31, 2013, Level 3 inputs were used to determine non-cash impairment losses of $0.5 million on eleven held for sale hotels. The Company also recorded negligible recovery of impairment on one hotel at the time of sale, as well as negligible impairment on one hotel at the time of sale.

During the three months ending March 31, 2012, Level 3 inputs were used to determine non-cash impairment loss of $1.1 million on six held for sale hotels, a loss of $0.7 million on four hotels subsequently sold, and recovery of $0.1 million of previously recorded impairment loss on one held for sale hotel due to changes in market conditions.

The fair value of an asset held for sale is based on the estimated selling price less estimated selling costs. We engage independent real estate brokers to assist us in determining the estimated selling price using a market approach. The estimated selling costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales. We record impairment charges and write down the carrying value of an asset if the carrying value exceeds the estimated selling price less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

The TRS Lessee income tax (expense) benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0 and $0.3 million, respectively. The TRS Lessee has estimated its income tax benefit using a combined federal and state rate of approximately 38%. We have provided a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset at March 31, 2013, that results in no net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2013 due to the uncertainty of realization (because of historical operating losses). The TRS net operating loss carryforward from March 31, 2013 as determined for federal income tax purposes was approximately $18.7 million. The availability of such loss carryforward will begin to expire in 2022.

Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2013 there were 332,500 shares of 10.0% Series B preferred stock outstanding. The shares were sold on June 3, 2008 for $25.00 per share and bear a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.

Dividends on the Series B preferred stock are cumulative and are payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day, at the annual rate of 10.0% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $2.50 per share. Dividends on the Series B preferred stock accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, whether or not such dividends are declared and whether or not such dividends are prohibited by agreement. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock will not bear interest.

The Series B preferred stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, rank: (a) senior to the Company’s common stock, (b) senior to all classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Company and ranking junior to the Series B preferred stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (c) on a parity with the Company’s Series A preferred stock and Series C convertible preferred stock and with all classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Company and ranking on a parity with the Series B preferred stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up and (d) junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness.

The Company will not pay any distributions, or set aside any funds for the payment of distributions, on its common shares, unless it has also paid (or set aside for payment) the full cumulative distributions on the preferred shares for the current and all past dividend periods. The Series B preferred stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption (except as described below).

The Series B preferred stock is not redeemable prior to June 3, 2013, except in certain limited circumstances relating to the maintenance of the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT as provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation or a change of control (as defined in the Company’s amendment to its articles of incorporation establishing the Series B preferred stock). The Company may redeem the Series B preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after June 3, 2013 for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Also, upon a change of control, each outstanding share of the Company’s Series B preferred stock will be redeemed for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. At March 31, 2013, no events have occurred that would lead the Company to believe redemption of the preferred stock, due to a change of control or failure to maintain its REIT qualification, is probable.

On December 30, 2005, the Company offered and sold 1,521,258 shares of 8% Series A preferred stock. At March 31, 2013, 803,270 shares of Series A preferred stock remained outstanding. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative and are payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month, at the annual rate of 8% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $.80 per share. The Company may redeem the Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time for cash at a redemption price of $10.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

The Company entered into a Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2011 for the issuance and sale of Supertel’s Series C convertible preferred stock and warrants under a private transaction to Real Estate Strategies, L.P. (“RES”). On January 31, 2012 at a special meeting, the shareholders of Supertel, by the requisite vote, approved the issuance and sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Series C convertible preferred stock of Supertel, up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock of Supertel which may be issued upon conversion of the Series C convertible preferred stock, and warrants to purchase up to an additional 30,000,000 shares of common stock, to RES pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In two closings on February 1, 2012 and February 15, 2012, the Company completed the sale to RES of 3,000,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 30,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per common share.

Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock is entitled to a dividend of $0.625 per year payable in equal quarterly dividends. Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share, in cash, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends. With respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series C convertible preferred stock ranks: (a) on a parity with the Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock and other future series of preferred stock designated to rank on a parity, and (b) senior to the common stock and other future series of preferred stock designated to rank junior, and (c) junior to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness.

The Series C convertible preferred stock, at the option of the holder, is convertible at any time into common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 for each share of common stock, which is equal to the rate of ten shares of common stock for each share of Series C convertible preferred stock. A holder of Series C convertible preferred stock will not have conversion rights to the extent the conversion would cause the holder and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 34% of voting stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). “Voting stock” means capital stock having the power to vote generally for the election of directors of the Company. A holder of warrants would similarly not have exercise rights to the extent the exercise of a warrant would cause the holder and its affiliates to own capital stock in an amount exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

The Series C convertible preferred stock will vote with the common stock as one class, subject to certain voting limitations. For any vote, the voting power of the Series C convertible preferred stock will be equal to the lesser of: (a) 6.29 votes per share or (b) an amount of votes per share such that the vote of all shares of Series C convertible preferred stock in the aggregate equal 34% of the combined voting power of all the Company voting stock, minus an amount equal to the number of votes represented by the other shares of voting stock beneficially owned by RES and its affiliates (the “Voting Limitation”).

Subsequent Events

On April 18, 2013, the Company sold a Super 8 in Fort Madison, Iowa (40 rooms) for $1.1 million. Proceeds were used to pay off the associated debt.

Our credit facilities with Great Western Bank require us to maintain a loan-specific debt service coverage ratio of 1.20:1 or more. In the event the ratio is below the requirement on any measurement date, the loan agreement provides for an automatic decrease in the availability of the revolving credit facility in an amount sufficient to meet the required ratio. On March 31, 2013 the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio was 1.18:1; accordingly, the availability of our revolving credit facility was decreased from $12.5 million to $12.1 million to maintain compliance with the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio requirement of 1.20:1. The availability of our revolving credit facility is adjusted quarterly, subject to maximum availability of $12.5 million.

On May 1, 2013, the Company sold a Masters Inn in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (151 rooms) for $1.8 million. Proceeds were used to reduce the balance of the revolving credit facility with Great Western Bank.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

Our significant events for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include:

 

   

On January 10, 2013, the Company obtained a $2.4 million loan from First State Bank in Fremont, Nebraska. The loan was secured by four hotels, one of which was subsequently sold, bears interest at 5.5%, and matures on September 1, 2016. Proceeds of the loan were used for general corporate purposes.

 

   

On February 13, 2013, the Company sold a Guesthouse Inn in Ellenton, Florida (63 rooms) for $1.26 million, and a Days Inn in Fredericksburg, Virginia (North) (120 rooms) for $2.05 million. Proceeds from the sales of the two properties were used to pay off the associated debt, while the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

 

   

On February 21, 2013, the rate on the $2.9 million balance owed to Elkhorn Valley Bank was lowered from 6.25% to 5.50%.

 

   

On March 26, 2013, the Company amended its credit facilities with Great Western Bank to (a) extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014 and decrease the interest rate from 5.95% to 4.95% and (b) extend the maturity date of the term loans from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2015 and decrease the interest rate from 6.00% to 5.00%.

 

   

On March 28, 2013, the Company paid $5.3 million on a loan with GE Franchise Finance Commercial LLC, using funds from the revolving credit facility with Great Western Bank, in exchange for the release of three Masters Inn properties. One of these properties, a Masters Inn in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (151 rooms), was subsequently sold on May 1, 2013 for $1.8 million.

We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnerships, Supertel Limited Partnership and E&P Financing Limited Partnership, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other subsidiaries of our operating partnerships. We currently own, indirectly, an approximate 99% general partnership interest in Supertel Limited Partnership and a 100% partnership interest in E&P Financing Limited Partnership.

In order to maintain our REIT qualification under the tax laws, the hotels are leased to our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries and independently managed.

Overview of Discontinued Operations

The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 include the results of operations for the twenty hotels classified as held for sale at March 31, 2013, as well as all properties that have been sold during 2013 and prior years in accordance with ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations.

The assets held for sale at March 31, 2013 and 2012 are separately disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Among other criteria, we classify an asset as held for sale if we expect to dispose of it within one year, we have initiated an active marketing plan to sell the asset at a reasonable price and it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell the asset will be made. While we believe that the completion of these dispositions is probable, the sale of these assets is subject to market conditions and we cannot provide assurance that we will finalize the sale of all or any of these assets on favorable terms or at all. We believe that all our held for sale assets as of March 31, 2013 remain properly classified in accordance with ASC 205-20.

Where the carrying value of an asset held for sale exceeded the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, we reduced the carrying value and recorded an impairment charge. Level 3 inputs were used during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to determine impairment loss of $0.5 million on eleven held for sale hotels. The Company also recorded negligible recovery of impairment on one hotel at the time of sale, as well as negligible impairment on one hotel at the time of sale.

 

23


Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

The fair value of an asset held for sale is based on the estimated selling price less estimated selling costs. We engage independent real estate brokers to assist us in determining the estimated selling price using a market approach. The estimated selling costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales.

The discontinued operations are the result of management’s strategy to reevaluate its hotels as well as the length of the period in which the company anticipates holding its properties based on new and more stringent criteria. These criteria include strategic review of debt service capability, estimated return on investment, and local market conditions.

Our continuing operations reflect the results of operations of those hotels which we are likely to retain in our portfolio for the foreseeable future as well as those assets which do not currently meet the held for sale criteria in ASC 205-20. We periodically evaluate the assets in our portfolio to ensure they continue to meet our performance objectives. Accordingly, from time to time, we could identify other assets for disposition.

General

The discussion that follows is based primarily on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and should be read along with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

The comparisons below reflect revenues and expenses of the company’s 84 and 98 hotels as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

ADR for the same store portfolio rose 2.2% from the prior year, with occupancy down 6.1%. The overall result was a 4.0% drop in RevPAR. Our results were impacted by three properties which were rebranded during the quarter and one which completed its brand conversion in April. We refer to our entire portfolio as select service hotels, which we further describe as upscale, upper midscale, midscale, economy and extended stay hotels. Results for our same store portfolio are presented below under “Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”), Average Daily Rate (“ADR”), and Occupancy”.

Revenues and Operating Expenses

Revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, increased 0.3% compared to the same period in 2012. The increased variance was due to the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn during the second quarter of 2012, partially offset by the decreased occupancy.

During the first quarter of 2013, hotel and property operations expenses from continuing operations increased $0.8 million over the first quarter of 2012. The majority of the increase was due to the acquisition of the hotel mentioned above. The remainder of the variance was caused by increased supplies expense.

Interest Expense, Depreciation and Amortization Expense and General and Administrative Expense

There was a reduction in interest expense in the same store portfolio of approximately $84,000, offset by a $65,000 increase due to the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn, for a net decrease of $19,000. Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations increased $0.1 million from the first quarter of 2012 to $2.0 million. The general and administrative expense for the 2013 first quarter was essentially unchanged compared to the 2012 first quarter.

Other Income (Expense)

The decreased expense compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, resulted from a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. The Series C convertible Preferred embedded derivative and the Series C Preferred C common stock warrants were valued by management with the assistance of a third party at issuance on February 1 and 15, 2012, for $7.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Both were deemed to be derivatives. The derivatives were revalued at March 31, 2013 and 2012. The fair value of the derivative liabilities increased by an aggregate of $0.3 million and $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The change in fair value is due primarily to a decrease in the price of the common stock.

Impairment loss

For the first quarter of 2013, we recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million on eleven hotels classified as held for sale, negligible impairment on one hotel at the time of sale, and negligible recovery of impairment on one hotel at the time of sale. There was no impairment taken against hotels classified as held for use. In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded a net impairment charge of $1.4 million, composed of $1.1 million taken on six hotels classified as held for sale, $0.7 million on four hotels subsequently sold, and offset by impairment recovery of $0.3 million on one hotel reclassified as held for use and recovery of $0.1 million on one hotel due to changes in market conditions.

Dispositions

In the first quarter of 2013, two properties were sold with no gain or loss recognized. In the first quarter of 2012, we recognized a $0.4 million gain on the sale of a Super 8 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and a $0.1 million gain on the sale of a Super 8 in Muscatine, Iowa.

Income tax

The income tax (expense) benefit from continuing operations is related to the taxable income or loss from our taxable subsidiary, the TRS Lessee. Management believes the combined federal and state

 

25


Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

income tax rate for the TRS Lessee will be approximately 38%. The income tax expense from continuing operations was $0 compared with a benefit of $0.3 million in the year ago period. The income tax will vary based on the taxable earnings or loss of the TRS Lessee.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our income and ability to meet our debt service obligations, and make distributions to our shareholders, depends upon the operations of the hotels being conducted in a manner that maintains or increases revenue, or reduces expenses, to generate sufficient hotel operating income for TRS Lessee to pay the hotels’ operating expenses, including management fees and rents to us. We depend on rent payments from TRS Lessee to pay our operating expenses and debt service and to make distributions to shareholders.

The Company’s operating performance, as well as its liquidity position, has been and continues to be negatively affected by current economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The Company anticipates that these adverse economic conditions are likely to continue for a period of time but could abate somewhat over the next year; however, in addition to our operating performance, the other sources described below will be essential to our liquidity and financial position.

Our business requires continued access to adequate capital to fund our liquidity needs. In February 2012 the Company issued 3 million shares of Series C convertible preferred stock which provided $28.6 million of net proceeds. The Company agreed to use $20 million to pursue hotel acquisitions, as well as an additional $5 million to pursue hospitality acquisitions within a reasonable period thereafter. We have used $6.6 million to purchase a hotel and remain committed to use $18.4 million for hospitality acquisitions. As of March 31, 2013, we have used $12.5 million for debt repayment and for operational funds from the proceeds committed to hospitality acquisitions, and we intend to replace these funds so that they are ultimately available for acquisitions. Each year the Company reviews its entire portfolio, identifies properties considered non-core and develops timetables for disposal of those assets deemed non-core. We focus on improving our liquidity through cash generating asset sales and disposition of assets that are not generating cash at levels consistent with our investment principles.

In 2013, our foremost priorities continue to be preserving and generating capital sufficient to fund our liquidity needs. Given the deterioration and uncertainty in the economy and financial markets, management believes that access to conventional sources of capital will be challenging and management has planned accordingly. We are also working to proactively address challenges to our short-term and long-term liquidity position.

The following are the expected actual and potential sources of liquidity, which if realized we currently believe will be sufficient to fund our near-term obligations:

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents;

 

   

Cash generated from operations;

 

   

Proceeds from asset dispositions;

 

   

Proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt financings; and/or

 

   

Proceeds from public or private issuances of debt or equity securities.

These above sources are essential to our liquidity and financial position, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully access them (particularly in the current economic environment). If we

 

26


Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

are unable to generate cash from these sources, we may have liquidity-related capital shortfalls and will be exposed to default risks. The significant issues with access to the liquidity sources identified above could lead to our insolvency.

In the near-term, the Company’s cash flow from operations is not projected to be sufficient to meet all of our liquidity needs. In response, management has identified non-core assets in our portfolio to be liquidated over a one to ten year period. Among the criteria for determining properties to be sold was the potential upside when hotel fundamentals return to stabilized levels. The twenty properties held for sale as of March 31, 2013 were determined to be less likely to participate in increased cash flow levels when markets do improve. As such, we expect these dispositions to help us (1) preserve cash, through potential disposition of properties with current or projected negative cash flow and/or other potential near-term cash outlay requirements (including debt maturities) and (2) generate cash, through the potential disposition of strategically identified non-core assets that we believe have equity value above debt.

We are actively marketing the 20 properties held for sale, which we anticipate will result in the elimination of an estimated $15.8 million of debt. However, some of the markets have experienced a decrease in expected pricing. If this trend continues to worsen, we may be unable to complete the disposition of identified properties in a manner that would generate cash flow in line with management’s estimates as noted above. Our ability to dispose of these assets is impacted by a number of factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, availability of financing and interest rates. In light of the current economic conditions, we cannot predict:

 

   

whether we will be able to find buyers for identified assets at prices and/or other terms acceptable to us;

 

   

whether potential buyers will be able to secure financing; and

 

   

the length of time needed to find a buyer and to close the sale of a property.

As our debt matures, our principal payment obligations also present significant future cash requirements. We expect lenders will continue to maintain tight lending standards, which could make it more difficult for us to obtain future credit facilities on terms similar to the terms of our current credit facilities or to obtain long-term financing on favorable terms or at all.

We may not be able to successfully extend, refinance or repay our debt due to a number of factors, including decreased property valuations, limited availability of credit, tightened lending standards and deteriorating economic conditions. Historically, extending or refinancing loans has required the payment of certain fees to, and expenses of, the applicable lenders. Any future extensions or refinancing will likely require increased fees due to tightened lending practices. These fees and cash flow restrictions will affect our ability to fund other liquidity uses. In addition, the terms of the extensions or refinancing may include operational and financial covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants.

The Company is required to meet various financial covenants required by its existing lenders. If the Company’s future financial performance fails to meet these financial covenants, then its lenders also have the ability to take control of its encumbered hotel assets. Defaults with lenders due to failure to repay or refinance debt when due or failure to comply with financial covenants could also result in defaults under our credit facilities with Great Western Bank and GE Franchise Finance Commercial LLC (“GE”). Our Great Western Bank and GE credit facilities contain cross-default provisions which would allow Great Western Bank and GE to declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans, and such default would permit that lender to accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan. If this were to happen, whether due to failure to repay or refinance debt when due or failure to comply with financial covenants, the Company’s ability to conduct business could be severely impacted as there can be no assurance that the adequacy and timeliness of cash flow would be available to meet the Company’s liquidity requirements. Should the Company be unable to maintain compliance with financial covenants, we will be required to obtain waivers or, where allowed, cure the violation through additional principal payments. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain waivers, if needed. Although the Company believes we will have sufficient funds to make additional principal payments, if required, there is

 

27


Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

no guarantee that the necessary money will be available. The Company has in the past obtained waivers and modifications of its financial covenants with certain of its lenders in order to avoid defaults; however, there is no certainty that the Company could obtain waivers or modifications in the future, if the need arises.

The Company did not declare a common stock dividend during 2013 or 2012. The Company will monitor requirements to maintain its REIT status and will routinely evaluate the dividend policy. The Company intends to continue to meet its dividend requirements to retain its REIT status.

Sources and Uses of Cash

At March 31, 2013, available cash was $0.3 million and the Company’s available borrowing capacity on the Great Western Bank revolver was $5.1 million. The Company projects that at March 31, 2013, cash flows from operations, the Great Western Bank revolver, and the sources identified above will be sufficient to meet both short term and long term liquidity requirements.

We completed a private offering of 3.0 million shares of Series C convertible preferred stock in February 2012. Net proceeds of the offering, less expenses, were approximately $28.6 million. We agreed to use $20 million of the net proceeds to pursue hospitality acquisitions which are consistent with the investment strategy of the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as an additional $5 million to pursue hospitality acquisitions within a reasonable period thereafter. In February 2012, a portion of the net proceeds were used to pay down the Great Western Bank revolver to $0. $6.6 million of the net proceeds have been used in the acquisition of a 100 room Hilton Garden Inn in Dowell, Maryland in May 2012. In May 2013, $0.5 million of the net proceeds were used as an earnest money deposit toward the acquisition of four hotels, ($.125 million with respect to each hotel), and the purchases are subject to due diligence and financing conditions. We may terminate the agreement to purchase any of the hotels on or prior to July 1, 2013 and the escrow deposit with respect to the hotel will be refunded to us. If we have not terminated the purchase of the hotels on July 1, 2013, we will deposit an additional $.10 million ($.025 million with respect to each hotel) in escrow. If we are not successful in obtaining satisfactory financing for the purchase of a hotel by August 15, 2013, then the agreement to purchase the hotel will terminate and $.125 million of the escrow for the hotel will be refunded to us. The closing on the purchase of any of the hotels is contingent on the closing of the purchase of all the hotels, unless otherwise agreed.

Hotel revenues and operating results are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. As a result, we may have to enter into short-term borrowings in our first and fourth quarters in order to offset these fluctuations in revenues.

The Great Western Bank revolver is a source of funds for our obligation to IRSA to use proceeds from the sale of the Series C convertible preferred stock for hospitality acquisitions. The borrowings from the Great Western Bank revolver for the GE debt payments on December 31, 2012 and for operational funds in the first quarter of 2012 were made with IRSA’s consent. The Company anticipates additional borrowings from the Great Western Bank revolver with IRSA’s consent for operational funds until revenues and operating results improve as expected in the second quarter of 2013. We have agreed with IRSA to replace those funds when we are able to do so, so that the replacement funds can be available for hospitality acquisitions.

Short term outflows include monthly operating expenses, estimated debt service for the remainder of 2013 of $8.5 million, and payment of dividends on Series A and Series B preferred stock, and Series C convertible preferred stock. Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of the costs of renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically with respect to hotel properties, and funds for acquisitions.

We have budgeted to increase our spending on capital improvements from $5.7 million in 2012 to $8.0 million on our existing hotels during 2013. The increase in capital expenditures is a result of complying with brand mandated improvements and initiating projects that we believe will generate a return on investment as we enter a period of anticipated recovery in the lodging sector.

In addition, management has identified noncore assets in our portfolio to be liquidated over a one to ten year period. We project that proceeds from anticipated property sales during 2013, net of expenses and debt repayment, of $6.0 million will be available for the Company’s cash needs. We project that our

operating cash flow, Great Western Bank revolver and the sources identified above will be sufficient to satisfy all of our liquidity and other capital needs for the balance of 2013. However, if we are not successful in negotiating the refinancing of the Company’s debt or finding alternative sources of financing in a difficult borrowing environment, we will be unable to meet the Company’s near-term liquidity requirements.

Financing

On March 29, 2011, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with JMP Securities LLC (“JMP”) pursuant to which we may offer and sell up to 2.0 million shares of common stock from time to time through JMP. Sales of shares of the Company common stock, if any, under the agreement may be made in negotiated transactions or other transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Market or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The common stock will be sold pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-3 (333-170756). During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 no shares were issued under this agreement.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had long-term debt of $115.6 million associated with assets held for use, consisting of notes and mortgages payable, with a weighted average term to maturity of 3.6 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%. The weighted average fixed rate was 6.1%, and the weighted average variable rate was 3.9%. Debt held on properties in continuing operations is classified as held for use. Debt is classified as held for sale if the properties collateralizing it are included in discontinued operations. Debt associated with assets held for sale is classified as a short-term liability due within the next year irrespective of whether the notes and mortgages evidencing such debt mature within the next year. Aggregate annual principal payments on debt associated with assets held for use for the remainder of 2013 and thereafter, and debt associated with assets held for sale, are as follows (in thousands):

At March 31, 2013, the Company had $3.0 million of principal due in 2013. This amount consists entirely of principal amortization on mortgage loans.

Financial Covenants

The key financial covenants for certain of our loan agreements and compliance calculations as of March 31, 2013 are discussed below (each such covenant is calculated pursuant to the applicable loan agreement). As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. As a result, we are not in default of any of our loans.

The credit facilities with Great Western Bank also require maintenance of consolidated and loan-specific loan to value ratios that do not exceed 70%, tested annually, and that we not pay dividends in excess of 75% of our funds from operations per year. The credit facilities currently consist of a $12.5 million revolving credit facility, the availability of which was reduced to $12.1 million as of March 31, 2013 (as discussed below) and term loans in the original principal amount of $10 million and $7.5 million. The credit facilities provide for $12.5 million of availability under the revolving credit facility, subject to the limitation that the loans available to us through the revolving credit facility and term loans may not exceed the lesser of (a) an amount equal to 70% of the total appraised value of the hotels securing the credit facilities and (b) an amount that would result in a loan-specific debt service coverage ratio of less than 1.20 to 1. At March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility was $7.0 million.

Our credit facilities with Great Western Bank require us to maintain a loan-specific debt service coverage ratio of 1.20:1 or more. In the event the ratio is below the requirement on any measurement date, the loan agreement provides for an automatic decrease in the availability of the revolving credit facility in an amount sufficient to meet the required ratio. On March 31, 2013 the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio was 1.18:1; accordingly, the availability of our revolving credit facility was decreased from $12.5 million to $12.1 million to maintain compliance with the loan-specific debt service coverage ratio requirement of 1.20:1. The availability of our revolving credit facility is adjusted quarterly, subject to maximum availability of $12.5 million.

The financial covenants under our loan facilities with GE Franchise Finance Commercial LLC (“GE”) require that, through the term of the loans, we maintain: (a) a minimum before dividend fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) with respect to our GE encumbered properties (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 1.00:1 as of March 31, 2013, which requirement increases periodically thereafter to 1.30:1 as of December 31, 2015; (b) a maximum loan to value ratio with respect to our GE-encumbered properties of 80% as of March 31, 2013, which requirement decreases periodically thereafter to 60% as of December 31, 2015; (c) a minimum before dividend consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 1.10:1 as of March 31, 2013, which requirement increases periodically thereafter to 1.30:1 as of December 31, 2014; and (d) a minimum after dividend consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 0.90:1 as of March 31, 2013, which requirement increases periodically thereafter to 1.00:1 as of December 31, 2013.

If we fail to pay our indebtedness when due, fail to comply with covenants or otherwise default on our loans, unless waived, we could incur higher interest rates during the period of such loan defaults, be required to immediately pay our indebtedness and ultimately lose our hotels through lender foreclosure if we are unable to obtain alternative sources of financing with acceptable terms. Our Great Western Bank and GE facilities contain cross-default provisions which would allow Great Western Bank and GE to declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans, and such default would permit that lender to accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan. We are not in default of any of our loans.

On January 10, 2013, the Company obtained a $2.4 million loan from First State Bank in Fremont, Nebraska. The loan was secured by four hotels, one of which was subsequently sold, bears interest at 5.5%, and matures on September 1, 2016. Proceeds of the loan were used for general corporate purposes.

On February 13, 2013, the Company sold a Guesthouse Inn in Ellenton, Florida (63 rooms) for $1.26 million, and a Days Inn in Fredericksburg, Virginia (North) (120 rooms) for $2.05 million. Proceeds from the sale of the Days Inn were used to pay off the associated debt, while the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

On February 21, 2013, the rate on the $2.9 million balance owed to Elkhorn Valley Bank was lowered from 6.25% to 5.50%.

On March 26, 2013, the Company amended its credit facilities with Great Western Bank to (a) extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014 and decrease the interest rate from 5.95% to 4.95% and (b) extend the maturity date of the term loans from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2015 and decrease the interest rate from 6.00% to 5.00%.

On March 28, 2013, the Company paid $5.3 million on a loan with GE Franchise Finance Commercial LLC, using funds from the revolving credit facility with Great Western Bank, in exchange for the release of three Masters Inn properties. One of these properties, a Masters Inn in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (151 rooms), was subsequently sold on May 1, 2013 for $1.8 million.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined 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. Fair value measurements are utilized to determine the value of certain liabilities, to perform impairment assessments, and for disclosure purposes. In February 2012 the Company issued financial instruments with features that were determined to be derivative liabilities, and as a result must be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall. In addition we apply the fair value provisions of ASC 820-10-35 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Subsequent Measurement, for our nonfinancial assets which include our held for sale and impaired held for use hotels, and the disclosure of the fair value of our debt.

The Company’s financial instruments, the derivative liabilities, and the non financial assets, our held for sale hotels, are measured using inputs from level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 non- financial asset valuations use unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available, including our own data. Financial asset and liability valuation inputs include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the liability; this includes pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Non financial assets

During the three months ending March 31, 2013, Level 3 inputs were used to determine non-cash impairment losses of $0.5 million on eleven held for sale hotels.

During the three months ending March 31, 2012, Level 3 inputs were used to determine non-cash impairment losses of $1.1 million on six held for sale hotels, $0.7 million on four hotels subsequently sold, recovery of $0.3 million one property reclassified as held for use, and recovery of $0.1 million on one hotel due to changes in market conditions.

In accordance with ASC 360-10-36 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall – Subsequent Measurements, the Company determines the fair value of an asset held for sale based on the estimated selling price less estimated selling costs. We engage independent real estate brokers to assist us in determining the estimated selling price using a market approach. The estimated selling costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales.

Financial instruments

To maintain our REIT tax status, we generally must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders annually. In addition, we are subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax if the actual amount distributed to shareholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the federal income tax laws. We have a general dividend policy of paying out approximately 100% of annual REIT taxable income. The actual amount of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors based on our actual results of operations, economic conditions, capital expenditure requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Off Balance Sheet Financing Transactions

We have not entered into any off balance sheet financing transactions.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders certain non-operating expenses and non-cash charges which are based on historical cost accounting and we believe may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance. We believe these adjustments can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods, even though EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also do not represent amounts that accrue directly to common shareholders. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add back noncontrolling interest, net (gain) loss on disposition of assets, preferred stock dividends and acquisition expenses, which are cash charges. We also add back impairment and unrealized gain or loss on derivatives, which are non-cash charges.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Neither do the measurements reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of our operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Funds from Operations

The Company’s funds from operations (“FFO”) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $(2.4) million, representing a decrease of $0.9 million from FFO reported for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company’s Adjusted FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $(2.0) million, which is a decrease of $1.7 million over the $(0.3) million reported at March 31, 2012. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the calculation of FFO basic and diluted were 23,100,927 and 23,070,435 for the three months ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

 

FFO and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) are non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and AFFO to be market accepted measures of an equity REIT’s operating performance, which are necessary, along with net earnings (loss), for an understanding of our operating results. FFO, as defined under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) standards, consists of net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. We believe our method of calculating FFO complies with the NAREIT definition. AFFO is FFO adjusted to exclude either gains or losses on derivative liabilities, which are non-cash charges against income and which do not represent results from our core operations. AFFO also adds back acquisition costs. FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. All REITs do not calculate FFO and AFFO in the same manner; therefore, our calculation may not be the same as the calculation of FFO and AFFO for similar REITs.

We use FFO and AFFO as performance measures to facilitate a periodic evaluation of our operating results relative to those of our peers. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful additional measures of performance for an equity REIT because they facilitate an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a meaningful indication of our performance.

Net Operating Income

NOI is one of the performance indicators the Company uses to assess and measure operating results. The Company believes that NOI is a useful additional measure of operating performance of its hotels because it provides a measure of core operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing and general and administrative expense. NOI is also an important performance measure used to determine the amount of the management fees paid by the Company to the operators of its hotels.

NOI is a non-GAAP measure, and is not necessarily indicative of available earnings and should not be considered an alternative to Earnings Before Net Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Assets, Other Income, Interest Expense and Income Taxes. NOI is reconciled to Earnings Before Net Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Assets, Other Income, Interest Expense and Income Taxes as follows (in thousands):

POI is a non-GAAP financial measure, and should not be considered as an alternative to loss from continuing operations or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in our market risk exposure subsequent to December 31, 2012.

 

Item 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation was performed under the supervision of management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the rules promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was (1) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
