1. Organization and Description of Business

MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-advised real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service upscale and mid-scale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States. The hotels operate under well-known national hotel brands such as Hilton and Holiday Inn. The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (“initial properties”). The Company utilized part of its net proceeds to repay approximately $25.0 million of mortgage indebtedness secured by the initial properties and paid an additional $16.9 million in cash related to the acquisition of the properties. Accordingly, the Company had approximately $12.9 million available in cash immediately following its formation.

On July 22, 2005, the Company acquired the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel (formerly, the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel) in Jacksonville, Florida from BIT Holdings Seventeen, Inc., an affiliate of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust (the “Trust”), for an aggregate price of $22 million. The Trust, for which Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company (“Mercantile”) acts as trustee, financed a portion of the purchase price by extending an $18 million mortgage loan (the “Loan”) to the purchaser. Pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Sale and Contribution Agreement dated May 20, 2005, MHI Hotels, LLC (“MHI Hotels”), an affiliate of MHI Hotels Services LLC, contributed furniture, fixtures and equipment used in the operation of the Hotel and assigned its leasehold interest and other rights relating to the property to the purchaser in exchange for 90,569 units in the operating partnership, MHI Hospitality L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), valued at approximately $913,000. On April 1, 2006, the Company completed the re-flagging of the hotel to a Crowne Plaza.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which is approximately 63.2% owned by the Company, leases its hotels to a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages a hotel management company to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of MHI Hospitality Corporation as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

Restricted Cash – Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows and reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment pursuant to certain requirements in the Company’s mortgage agreement with MMA Realty Capital, Inc. (“MMA”, formerly The Mutual of New York Life Insurance Company). MMA holds mortgages on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside and the Hilton Savannah DeSoto. In addition, restricted cash includes the unexpended balance of a capital improvement reserve account for the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel administered by Mercantile.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and mortgage loans. Due to their short maturities, or in the case of mortgage loans, interest rates in line with current interest rates, these financial instruments are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate fair value.

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties are recorded at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures under a renovation project which constitute additions or improvements which extend the life of the property are capitalized.

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

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

related hotel property’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized.

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 March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $200,429 and $227,937, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $7,079 and $5,458, respectively.

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

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

Deferred Financing Costs – Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the statements of operations.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of its net income (loss) that does not relate to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary. MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, which leases the Company’s hotels from the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Stock-based Compensation – The Company’s 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, restricted (non-vested) stock and performance

share compensation awards to its employees for up to 350,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interest of its employees with those of its shareholders.

Under the Plan, the Company has deferred stock awards totalling 69,000 shares to its three executive officers. Two of the awards were for service in 2005 and those awards vest December 31, 2006. The third award is related to a five-year service period that ends December 31, 2010. Total compensation cost recognized under the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2006 or 2005 was $28,500 and $0, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss).

Segment Information – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), requires public entities to report certain information about operating segments. Based on the guidance provided in SFAS 131, the Company has determined that its business is conducted in one reportable segment, hotel ownership.

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 have been made to the prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

5. Debt

Line of Credit – On December 31, 2004 the Company established a Line of Credit with Branch Banking & Trust Company (BB&T) in the amount of $23,000,000. It bears a variable rate of LIBOR plus two and one half percent (2.50%). On March 31, 2006, LIBOR was 4.829%. The primary collateral for the credit facility is a first mortgage on the Holiday Inn Brownstone and the Hilton Philadelphia Airport, and a lien on all business assets of those properties including, but not limited to, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, furniture, fixtures and proceeds thereof. Under the terms of the BB&T line of credit, the Company must satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants. As of March 31, 2006 the Company was in compliance with all of the required covenants. Failure to satisfy these conditions and covenants would create a default under this credit facility, and the lender could require the Company to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the facility. The line had a balance of $6.2 million as of March 31, 2006 and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2005. The Company intends to use the Line of Credit for working capital and capital acquisitions as deemed appropriate by the Directors of the Company. On May 9, 2006, the Company replaced this line of credit with a new revolving credit facility for up to $60 million. For a complete discussion of this new line of credit, see note 11, Subsequent Events.

Mortgage Loans – The Company assumed existing mortgage debt with MMA Realty Capital, Inc. that was in place on two of the initial properties.

On September 25, 1998, Savannah Hotel Associates, LLC obtained a mortgage loan in the amount of $12.8 million to refinance the mortgage at the Savannah DeSoto Hilton hotel. The loan is secured by the Savannah DeSoto Hilton hotel and its maturity date is November 1, 2008. Loan principal and interest payments are due monthly, with fixed principal payments plus interest amortized over a twenty (20) year schedule. Interest is based on a fixed rate of 7.49%. Savannah Hotel Associates, LLC recorded deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million related to obtaining the mortgage loan. The outstanding balance due on the loan as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $10,056,679 and $10,175,989, respectively.

On February 12, 1998 Capitol Hotel Associates, LP, LLP obtained a mortgage loan in the amount of $13.0 million to refinance the mortgage at the Wilmington Riverside Hilton hotel. On October 19, 1999 Capitol Hotel Associates, LP, LLP obtained a promissory note in the amount of $4.25 million upon completion of construction of renovations. The debt was consolidated into one instrument and is secured by the Wilmington Riverside Hilton hotel and its maturity date is March 1, 2008. Loan principal and interest payments are due monthly, with fixed principal payments and interest payments amortized over a twenty (20) year schedule. Interest is based on a fixed rate of 8.22%. Capitol Hotel Associates, LP, LLP recorded deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million related to obtaining the mortgage loan. The outstanding balance due

on the loan as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $14,368,209 and $14,510,954, respectively.

On July 22, 2005 the Company purchased the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida from BIT Holdings Seventeen, Inc., an affiliate of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust (the “Trust”), for an aggregate price of $22 million. The Trust, for which Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company (“Mercantile”) acts as trustee, financed a portion of the purchase price by extending an $18 million mortgage loan (the “Loan”) to the purchaser. The loan, which is secured by a lien against all the assets, rents and profits of the hotel as well as the real property, bears interest at the rate of 8.0% payable monthly during the term and matures in July 2010. Pre-payment penalties apply toward any principal of the loan repaid before the fifth year of the term.

Total debt maturities as of March 31, 2006 were as follows ($000s):

profit of the hotels, on an aggregate basis, for a given year exceeds the gross operating profit for the same hotels, on an aggregate basis, for the prior year. The incentive management fee may not exceed 0.25% of gross revenues of all of the hotels included in the incentive fee calculation.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Ground, Building and Submerged Land Leases – The Company leases 2,086 square feet of commercial space next to the Savannah hotel property for use as an office, retail or conference space, or for any related or ancillary purposes for the hotel and/or atrium space.

This lease was assumed upon the purchase of the building under the terms and conditions agreed to by the previous owner of the property. No rental income is recognized under the terms of this lease as the original lump sum rent payment of $990 was received by the previous owner and not prorated over the life of the lease.

The Company leases a parking lot adjacent to the Holiday Inn Brownstone in Raleigh, North Carolina. The land is leased under a second amendment, dated April 28, 1998, to a ground lease originally dated May 25, 1966. The original lease is a 50-year operating lease, which expires

The Credit Facility replaces the Company’s existing $23.0 million revolving credit facility with BB&T. The Credit Facility has a term of four years, and our borrowings under the revolving credit facility are expected to bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus additional interest ranging between 2.0% to 2.5%.

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

Overview

We are a self-advised REIT incorporated in Maryland in August 2004 to pursue current and future opportunities in the full-service, upper upscale, upscale and midscale segments of the hotel industry. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering.

Concurrent with the completion of the IPO, we acquired six hotel properties. Our hotel portfolio currently consists of seven full-service, upper upscale and mid-scale hotels. The seventh hotel, the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel (formerly, the Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront Hotel), was acquired on July 22, 2005. We own a 100% interest in all of our hotels. We also have a leasehold interest in a resort condominium facility. As of March 31, 2006, we owned the following hotel properties:

Total

   1,673      
          

We conduct substantially all our business through our operating partnership, MHI Hospitality, L.P. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and we own an approximate 63.2% interest in our Operating Partnership, with the remaining interest being held by the contributors of our initial properties as limited partners.

To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate hotels. Therefore, our operating partnership leases our hotel properties to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, our TRS Lessee. Our TRS Lessee has engaged MHI Hotels Services to manage our hotels. Our TRS Lessee, and its parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into our financial statements for accounting purposes. The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

Key Operating Metrics

In the hotel industry, most categories of operating costs, with the exception of franchise, management, credit card fees and the costs of the food and beverage served, do not vary directly with revenues. This aspect of our operating costs creates operating leverage, whereby changes in sales volume disproportionately impact operating results. Room revenue is the most important category of revenue and drives other revenue categories such as food, beverage and telephone. There are three key performance indicators used in the hotel industry to measure room revenues:

 

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

 

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

 

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

Results of Operations

The following table illustrates the key operating metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 for the properties owned by the Company during the respective reporting periods. Accordingly, the operations of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel are not reflected for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $15.9 million, an increase of approximately $4.4 million or 38.1% from the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to approximately $3.5 million in incremental revenues attributable to the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel in July 2005. Revenues increased due to increases in both room revenue and food and beverage revenues.

Room revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 rose to approximately $10.6 million, an increase of approximately $3.0 million or 38.8% compared to room revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Approximately $2.4 million of the increase was attributable to the acquisition of the Jacksonville property. Overall, our seven properties were able to achieve a 4.2% increase in revenue despite a 6.8% decline in occupancy by achieving an 11.8% increase in ADR over the prior period. A new mix of business, a strong market, and the completion of room renovations caused a significant increase in ADR at our Philadelphia property. Our efforts to re-position our property in Laurel, Maryland coupled with the completion of renovations also contributed to the significant increase in ADR at that property.

Food and beverage revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increase approximately $1.0 million or 30.9% to approximately $4.4 million compared to food and beverage revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Approximately $0.8 million of the increase was attributable to the acquisition of the Jacksonville property.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, and management fees were $12.8 million, an increase of approximately $3.1 million or 32.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to approximately $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to approximately $2.4 million in incremental expense attributable to the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel acquired in July 2005.

Rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased approximately $0.7 million or 32.3% to approximately $3.0 million compared to rooms expense of approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 due primarily to the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel.

Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased approximately $0.8 million or 30.4% to approximately are $3.2 million compared to food and beverage expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The higher food and beverage costs are attributable to the higher volume of food and beverage sales. Indirect expenses at our properties for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased approximately $1.8 million or 40.7% to approximately $6.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel .

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $1.2 million, an increase of approximately

 

18


Table of Contents

$0.3 million or 29.3% compared to approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in depreciation and amortization was attributable to the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel as well as the renovation activities at our Philadelphia, Williamsburg and Laurel properties.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased approximately $0.3 million or 50.0% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 to approximately $0.8 million. Increased staffing levels and an accelerated timetable for the preparation of the Company’s tax returns contributed to the increase.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2006 increased approximately $0.5 million or 96.5% to approximately $1.0 million compared to interest expense for the same period ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel acquired in July 2005.

Income Tax Benefit. The net income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased to approximately $0.1 million. The income tax benefit is primarily derived from the taxable operating losses incurred by our TRS lessee. The taxable operating loss incurred by our TRS lessee for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was greater than the loss incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Net operating income (loss). The net operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased approximately $0.2 million as a result of the operating results discussed above.

Funds From Operations

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

 

19


Table of Contents

Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has improved the understanding of the operating results of REITs among the investing public and made comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

The following table reconciles net income to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 (unaudited):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.8 million, of which $3.7 million was in restricted reserve accounts and real estate tax escrows. Coincident with the purchase of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel, we placed $3.0 million into a capital improvement reserve with Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company, the mortgagor’s trustee. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, approximately $0.4 million had been expended from the reserve. On May 9, 2006, we replaced our existing $23.0 million secured line of credit with a revolving credit facility for up to $60.0 million that will provide financing for future acquisitions as well as working capital. For a discussion of the new line of credit, please see Note 11, Subsequent Events, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements provided in this report.

Table of Contents

Operating Requirements. The Company finances its operations from operating cash flow, which is principally derived from the operations of its hotels. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $1.4 million. We expect that the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund the Company’s operating requirements, debt service and the payment of dividends in accordance with federal income tax laws which require us make annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain. We declared dividends of $0.17 per share (unit) paid on April 11, 2006, which we funded out of working capital.

On September 13, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an interest in a condominium hotel property in Hollywood, Florida last operated as the Ambassador Resort. The seller will renovate the hotel and complete a condominium conversion. The Company will retain MHI Hotels Services to manage the hotel on its behalf. Purchase of the interest in the property and costs related to pre-opening expenses are expected to be incurred later this year and total approximately $3.0 million. Such costs will be funded out of working capital.

Capital Expenditures. We substantially completed renovations at three of our initial hotels last year and have commenced renovations at the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, approximately $1.9 million was spent on renovations and capital improvements. Of that amount, approximately $0.4 million was funded from the capital improvement reserve. These activities represent our net cash flow used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of approximately $1.5 million.

Recurring capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as debt service, are our most significant short-term liquidity requirements. During the next 12 months, we expect capital expenditures will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors or capital expenditures relating to hotels we acquire in the future. With respect to two of our hotels, the reserve accounts are escrowed with funds deposited monthly (5% of gross sales), and reserved for capital projects. The Hilton Savannah DeSoto and Hilton Wilmington Riverside have these reserve accounts. Our intent for the capital reserve accounts at other hotels is to maintain overall capital expenditures at 4% of gross revenue.

We have engaged Jones Lang LaSalle to market the Holiday Inn Downtown Williamsburg. In the event a potential purchaser is identified, the Company intends to structure the disposition of the property as a “like-kind exchange” for tax purposes whereby the Company can defer recognizing gain on the sale of the property if it follows certain procedures and meets certain conditions. In the event the Company is unable to reach an agreement with a potential purchaser to effect the transaction as a “like-kind exchange,” the property may be sold for cash in which case there may be expense associated with the tax indemnification agreement between the Company and the contributors of the property.

Debt service requirements on our borrowings will reduce our cash flows. The initial public offering and the related repayment of indebtedness on certain of our initial properties, the restructuring of management agreements and our execution of a new management agreement

with lower management fees has reduced our debt service and management fee payments and, consequently, improved cash flow and liquidity in periods subsequent to the initial public offering versus periods prior to the offering.

Our long-term liquidity needs will generally include the funding of future acquisition, development and investment activity, the retirement of mortgage debt and amounts outstanding under our secured line of credit, and obligations under our tax indemnity agreements, if any. We remain committed to maintaining a flexible capital structure. Accordingly, in addition to the sources described above with respect to our short-term liquidity, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through a combination of some or all of the following:

 

    The issuance by the Company, the operating partnership of the Company, and/or their subsidiary entities of secured and unsecured debt securities;

 

    The incurrence by the subsidiaries of the operating partnership of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of hotel properties;

 

    The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock;

 

    The issuance of additional units in the operating partnership;

 

    The selective disposition of non-core assets; and

 

    The sale or contribution of some of our wholly owned properties, development projects and development land to strategic joint ventures to be formed with unrelated investors, which would have the net effect of generating additional capital through such sale or contributions.

In connection with the acquisition of our six initial hotel properties, we entered into tax indemnity agreements that require us to indemnify the contributors of our initial properties against tax liabilities in the event we sell those properties in a taxable transaction during a 10-year period. Such indemnification obligations could result in aggregate payments of approximately $46.0 million. Our obligations under the tax indemnity agreements may effectively preclude us from selling or disposing of certain of the initial hotels in taxable transactions or reducing our consolidated indebtedness below approximately $11.0 million.

We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet our capital and liquidity needs in both the short and long term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, our ability to satisfy cash payment obligations and make stockholder distributions may be adversely affected.

Inflation

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our TRS Lessee and net income from the operations of our TRS Lessee. Therefore, we rely primarily on the performance of the individual properties and the ability of our management company to increase revenues and to keep pace with inflation.

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to keep pace with inflation. However, competitive pressures at some or all of our hotels may limit the ability of our management company to raise room rates.

Seasonality

The operations of the properties have historically been seasonal. The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville. The months of March and April are traditionally strong, as is October. The remaining months are generally good, but are subject to the weather and can vary significantly.

Geographic Concentration

Our hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

There were no charges for impairment recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2006 or 2005.

We estimate the fair market values of our properties through cash flow analysis taking into account each property’s expected cash flow generated from operations, holding period and expected proceeds from ultimate disposition. These cash flow analyses are based upon significant management judgments and assumptions including revenues and operating costs, growth rates and economic conditions at the time of ultimate disposition. In projecting the expected cash flows from operations of the asset, we base our estimates on future projected net operating income before depreciation and eliminating non-recurring operating expenses, which is a non-GAAP operational measure, and deduct expected capital expenditure requirements. We then apply growth assumptions based on estimated changes in room rates and expenses and the demand for lodging at our properties, as impacted by local and national economic conditions and estimated or known future new hotel supply. The estimated proceeds from disposition are determined as a matter of management’s business judgment based on a combination of anticipated cash flow in the year of disposition, terminal capitalization rate, ratio of selling price to gross hotel revenues and selling price per room.

If actual conditions differ from those in our assumptions, the actual results of each asset’s operations and fair market value could be significantly different from the estimated results and value used in our analysis.

Revenue Recognition. Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage and other hotel revenues, are recognized as the related services are delivered. We generally consider accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If we determine that amounts are uncollectible, which would generally be the result of a customer’s bankruptcy or other economic downturn, such amounts will be charged against operations when that determination is made.

Income Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Because of expected future taxable income of our TRS lessee, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2006. Should our estimate of future taxable income be less than expected, we would record an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset in the period such determination was made.

Forward Looking Statements

Information included and incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and

Table of Contents

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identified by our use of words, such as “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “opportunity,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements. Factors, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects, include, but are not limited to:

 

    United States economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically;

 

    management and performance of our hotels;

 

    our plans for renovation of our hotels;

 

    our financing plans;

 

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

 

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

 

    legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing taxation of real estate investment trusts; and

 

    our competition.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements are set forth under the Section titled “Risk Factors” in our current and periodic reports filed with the SEC.

These risks and uncertainties, together with the information contained in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2006 under “Risk Factors,” should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statement contained in this report or incorporated by reference herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. We undertake no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

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. Although we currently do not intend to do so, from time to time we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $42.4 million of fixed-rate debt and $6.2 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 7.95%. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt, but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Assuming that the amount outstanding under our line of credit remains at $6.2 million, the balance at March 31, 2006, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in interest rate would be $62,000.

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

We currently have no interest rate hedge contracts.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of MHI Hospitality Corporation have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, MHI Hospitality Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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