MHI HOSPITALITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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 upper-upscale, upscale and mid-scale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Southeastern regions of the United States. The hotels operate under well-known national hotel brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza 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). Substantially all of the Companys assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through MHI Hospitality, L.P. (the Operating Partnership). For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which is approximately 64.4% 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.
Significant transactions occurring during the current and prior fiscal year include the following:
On May 9, 2006, the Company closed on a senior secured revolving credit facility for up to $60.0 million, which was syndicated by Branch Banking & Trust Company (BB&T). The facility replaced an existing $23.0 million facility with BB&T and will be used to fund acquisitions and working capital.
On August 10, 2006, the Company sold the Holiday Inn Downtown, in Williamsburg, VA for $4.75 million. The Company agreed to take back three promissory notes that totaled $4.43 million from the purchaser and received the remainder of the purchase price in cash. Promissory notes in the amount of $2.63 million and $1.4 million were repaid during the first quarter of 2007. The third promissory note in the amount of $0.4 million bears interest at a rate of 8.0% with interest-only payments due monthly for the first four years and payments under a 20-year amortization schedule thereafter and matures in August 2026. The promissory note is secured by a security interest in the hotel and by personal guarantees of affiliates of the purchaser.
On September 20, 2006, the Company purchased the 186-room Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn, located in Jeffersonville, Indiana for approximately $7.7 million including transfer costs. The hotel is located directly on the Ohio River, with unimpeded views of the Louisville skyline, and easy access to the center of downtown Louisville. The Company has closed the hotel to begin extensive renovations. The purchase was structured to meet the requirements of a Sec. 1031 like-kind exchange, enabling the Company to defer tax on capital gains relating to the sale in August of its Williamsburg property. To facilitate the closing of the acquisition, the Company accessed approximately $7.5 million from its line of credit, and approximately $0.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale of its Williamsburg property. On February 23, 2007, the Company executed a license agreement with Starwood Hotels and Resorts to operate the hotel as a Sheraton. The term of the license is 15 years.
On March 29, 2007, the Company closed a $23.0 million refinancing of the mortgage on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside. Approximately $13.8 million of the proceeds were used to satisfy the existing indebtedness. The remainder of the proceeds, approximately $9.2 million, will be used to fund renovations to the property. The new mortgage matures March 29, 2017 and bears interest at a rate of 6.21% with payments of interest-only due for the first 24 months. Thereafter, payments of interest and principal are required under a 20-year amortization schedule.
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, 2007 and 2006.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company 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.

Table of Contents
Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows and reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment pursuant to certain requirements in the Companys 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 Safe Deposit and Trust Company (Mercantile), trustee for the mortgage holder.
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 Companys accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures under a renovation project, which constitute additions or improvements that extend the life of the property, are capitalized.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 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 propertys estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized.
Derivative Instruments The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted (SFAS 133). Under SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are required to be reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as an interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Companys interest-rate swap agreement had an estimated fair value of $(509,917) and $(408,702), respectively, and is included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.
Franchise License Fees Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The un-amortized franchise fees as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $178,575 and $184,812, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $6,238 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and $7,079 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
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 Partnerships net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Companys 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 Companys 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.
On March 1, 2007, two holders of units in the Operating Partnership redeemed 120,000 units for an equivalent number of shares of the Companys common stock.

Table of Contents
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 that does not relate to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, the Companys wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary. MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, which leases the Companys hotels from subsidiaries of 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 Companys 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 interests of its employees with those of its shareholders.
Under the Plan, the Company has made restricted stock and deferred stock awards totaling 85,500 shares including 60,000 shares granted under a deferred stock award to one of its executives, 13,000 restricted shares issued to certain executives and employees, and 12,500 restricted shares issued to its directors. The 60,000 shares granted under the deferred stock award vest over five years. Regarding the restricted shares awarded to the Companys directors, the shares vest at the end of the year of service for which the shares are awarded. All restricted awards to employees have vested. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the Companys stock price on the date of grant or issuance. Under the Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. As of March 31, 2007, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Consequently, stock-based compensation as determined under the fair-value method would be the same under the intrinsic-value method. Total compensation cost recognized under the Plan was $39,671 and $28,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Discontinued Operations On August 10, 2006, the Company sold the Holiday Inn Downtown in Williamsburg, VA. Accordingly, the results of operations for all prior periods are reflected as discontinued operations.
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.

There were no new acquisitions in the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

5. Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2007, the Company had a secured, revolving credit facility with a syndicated bank group comprised of Branch Banking & Trust Company (BB&T), Key Bank National Association, Regions Bank and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company that enables the Company to borrow up to $60.0 million, subject to borrowing base and loan-to-value limitations. The credit facility was established during second quarter of 2006 and replaced a $23 million secured, revolving credit facility with BB&T. The Company had borrowings of $14,723,119 and $15,228,232 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

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 mid-scale segments of the hotel industry. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering (IPO ) and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (initial properties).
Our hotel portfolio currently consists of six full-service, upper up-scale and mid-scale hotels with 1,537 rooms, which operate under well-known brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn. The most recent addition to our portfolio in Jeffersonville, Indiana, was acquired on September 20, 2006. It is currently being renovated and is expected to re-open as the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in the first quarter 2008. We own a 100% interest in all of our hotels. We also have a leasehold interest in a resort condominium facility and have entered into a purchase agreement to acquire an interest in a condominium hotel project in Hollywood, Florida. As of March 31, 2007, we owned the following hotel properties:

(1) | The property previously operated as the Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn is currently undergoing extensive renovations and is expected to re-open in early 2008 as the Sheraton Louisville Riverside. |
On August 10, 2006, we sold the Holiday Inn Downtown in Williamsburg, VA for $4.75 million. We took back three promissory notes totaling $4.43 million from the purchaser and received the remainder of the purchase price in cash. Promissory notes in the amount of $2.63 million and $1.4 million were re-paid during the first quarter 2007. The remaining note for $0.4 million bears interest at a rate of 8.0% with interest-only payments due monthly for the first four years and payments under a 20-year amortization schedule. The note matures August 10, 2026 and is secured by a security interest in the hotel and by personal guarantees of affiliates of the purchaser.
On September 13, 2005 we 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. We will retain MHI Hotels Services, LLC (MHI Hotels Services) to manage the hotel on our behalf. We expect that the purchase of the interest in the property and costs related to pre-opening expenses will be incurred in the second and third quarters of this year and total approximately $3.8 million. In addition, we may be required by the developer to purchase a maximum of 100 un-sold condominium units on or before August 1, 2007 at a maximum price of $197,000 per unit subject to certain terms and conditions. We have begun discussions with the developer to possibly restructure the transaction which may include an outright purchase of the asset from the developer.
On April 26, 2007, we entered into a program agreement and related operating agreements with CRP/MHI Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Carlyle Realty Partners V, L.P. and The Carlyle Group (Carlyle). The agreements provide for the formation of entities to be jointly owned by us and Carlyle, which will source, underwrite, acquire, develop and operate hotel assets and/or hotel portfolios. Under the agreement, we will offer the joint venture the first right to acquire potential investment opportunities identified by us with total capitalization requirements in excess of $30.0 million. Carlyle has agreed to commit $100.0 million of equity capital to the joint venture over the next three years. Carlyle will fund up to 90% of the equity of an acquisition and we will provide between 10% and 25%.
The Company will receive an asset management fee of 1.5% of the gross revenues of the hotels owned by the venture. In addition, the Company will have a first right of offer with respect to any investment disposed by the joint venture. It is expected that hotels acquired by the joint venture will be managed by MHI Hotels Services.
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 64.4% 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, 2007 and 2006 for the properties owned by the Company during the respective reporting periods and reflected in net income from continuing operations.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was approximately $16.9 million, an increase of approximately $1.4 million or 9.0% from the three months ended March 31, 2006. The largest increase in revenue was from room revenues, which, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 rose to approximately $11.3 million, an increase of approximately $0.8 million or 7.9% compared to room revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Double-digit increases in occupancy at our Philadelphia and Raleigh properties as well as consistent growth in ADR at almost all our properties helped offset weakness in our Jacksonville property which has completed both a brand change and major renovation during the last twelve months. The six properties whose operating results are reflected in income from continuing operations were able to achieve a 7.9% increase in room revenue through a combined 3.9% increase in occupancy and a 3.8% increase in ADR.
Food and beverage revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $0.5 million or 12.5% to approximately $4.8 million compared to food and beverage revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Revenue from other operating departments for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately 4.0% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, remaining at approximately $0.9 million
Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, and management fees, were approximately $12.8 million, an increase of approximately $0.5 million or 4.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to approximately $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $0.1 million or 4.6% to approximately $3.0 million compared to rooms expense of approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Much of the increase relates to the increased expenses associated with higher occupancy.
Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $0.2 million or 6.3% to approximately $3.3 million compared to food and beverage expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
17

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, 2007 increased approximately $0.2 million or 4.0% to approximately $6.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Certain of the indirect expenses vary directly with increases in revenue. Accordingly, we saw significant increases in sales and marketing expenses, hotel franchising fees and management fees.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was approximately $1.2 million, an increase of less than $0.1 million or 5.0% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $0.1 million or 11.3% to approximately $0.9 million compared to approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. A substantial portion of the increase is attributable to the pro-rata accrual of bonuses in accordance with the Companys 2007 Cash Bonus Plan.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $0.1 million or 7.0% compared to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 remaining at approximately $1.0 million, primarily due to increased borrowings on the credit facility for working capital purposes.
Income Taxes. The net income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased to approximately $0.1 million. The income tax benefit is primarily derived from the net operating loss of our TRS lessee. The net operating loss of our TRS lessee attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was greater than the net operating loss attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Net Income. The net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $0.5 million to approximately $0.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 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.
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 companys 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, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited):

Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating Activities. Our principal source of cash to meet our operating requirements, including distributions to unitholders and stockholders as well as repayments of indebtedness, is the operations of our hotels. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was approximately $1.6 million. We currently expect that the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund our continuing operations, debt service and the payment of dividends in accordance with federal income tax laws which require us to make annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. We declared dividends of $0.17 per share (unit) paid on April 11, 2007, which we funded out of working capital.
Investing Activities. We substantially completed renovations at the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel in the fourth quarter of 2006 and are currently beginning renovations at the Hilton Wilmington Riverside and the property in Jeffersonville, Indiana. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, approximately $2.5 million was spent on renovations and capital improvements. Of that amount, approximately $0.5 million was funded from our capital improvement reserve. Additionally, we were repaid the principal balance on two promissory notes, arising from the last years sale of and secured by the Holiday Inn Downtown in Williamsburg, Virginia, totaling $4.03 million. These activities represent our net cash flow provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of approximately $2.0 million.
Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $6.5 million. During the quarter, we refinanced the mortgage on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside generating approximately $9.2 million in proceeds which will be used to fund the renovations to the property over the next few quarters. We incurred costs of approximately $0.1 million associated with the refinancing and made principal payments of approximately $0.3 million as required under various mortgage loan agreements. We also used approximately $0.5 million to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the credit facility and used approximately $1.9 million to make distributions to our unitholders and dividends to holders of our common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13.6 million, of which approximately $1.8 million was in restricted reserve accounts and approximately $0.2 million was in 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 mortgagors trustee. As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $0.7 million remaining in the account, which we believe will be adequate to fund the remaining expenditures included in the capital improvement program.
Under the joint venture agreement with The Carlyle Group, the Company will offer the joint venture the first right to acquire potential investment opportunities identified by the Company with total capitalization requirements in excess of $30.0 million. Carlyle has agreed to commit $100.0 million of equity capital to the joint venture over the next three years and will fund up to 90% of the equity of an acquisition. Provided suitable investment opportunities are found, we expect that we will invest between $11.1 million and $33.3 million over the next three years in connection with the acquisition of properties by the joint venture. Such investments will initially be funded from borrowings on our credit facility but may be replaced by one or more of the following:
| 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 common or preferred stock; and |
| the issuance of addition units in the operating partnership. |
Our long-term liquidity needs will generally include the funding of future acquisitions, 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; |
19
Table of Contents
| 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. |
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.
Capital Expenditures
Our most significant short-term liquidity requirements relate to the renovations at our Wilmington and Savannah properties, the significant renovations at the property in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and our commitment to purchase an interest in a condominium hotel property in Hollywood, Florida.
On February 23, 2007, we entered into an agreement to relicense the Hilton Wilmington Riverside with Hilton Inns, Inc. extending the franchise agreement to March 31, 2018. To comply with the Hilton relicensing agreement, we have begun extensive renovation of the hotel under a property improvement plan (PIP), which we expect to complete in the first quarter 2008. We estimate that the cost of improvements to be approximately $10.2 million. On March 29, 2007, we refinanced the mortgage on the hotel generating approximately $9.2 million, which will be used to fund the renovations. The remainder of the cost will be funded by additional borrowings on the credit facility. Additionally, the funds in the restricted reserve account, approximately $0.1 million at March 31, 2007, are available to fund a portion of the renovations.
The franchise license for the Hilton Savannah DeSoto Hotel expires in June 2008. In conjunction with the relicensing agreement, we expect that we will be required to complete a PIP, however, the scope of required renovations has not been determined. We estimate the cost at approximately $13.0 million and anticipate that the costs will be expended beginning the third quarter 2007 through the second quarter 2008. The renovations will be funded initially by additional borrowings on the credit facility and subsequently refinancing the existing mortgage on the property. We also expect that the funds in the restricted reserve account, approximately $1.1 million at March 31, 2007, will be available to fund a portion of the renovations.
On September 20, 2006, we purchased the Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn in Jeffersonville, Indiana with the intention of renovating and re-branding the hotel. On February 23, 2007, we obtained a 15-year franchise license agreement with Starwood Hotels and Resorts to brand the property as a Sheraton hotel. Renovation costs are estimated at approximately $13.5 million and the property is expected to re-open in the first quarter 2008. Such costs will be funded by additional borrowings on the credit facility.
On September 13, 2005, we entered into an agreement to purchase an interest in a condominium hotel property in Hollywood, Florida last operated as the Ambassador Resort. Under the terms of that agreement, the seller will renovate the hotel and complete a condominium conversion. Following the acquisition, we expect to retain MHI Hotels Services to manage the hotel on our behalf.
The agreement was subsequently amended to provide the developer the right to require us to purchase a maximum of 100 un-sold condominium units on or before August 1, 2007 at a maximum price of $197,000 per unit subject to certain terms and conditions. We recently commenced discussions with the developer of the hotel regarding the purchase of the entire hotel in lieu of the existing agreement.
Under the terms of the existing agreement, as amended, we expect to incur acquisition costs and pre-opening expenses of $3.8 million. We will incur additional acquisition costs of up to $1.97 million if we acquire 100 additional units in the condominium hotel. If the existing agreement is terminated and we were to acquire the entire hotel, such acquisition likely would be made by the joint venture and our capital commitment would range from 10% to 25% of the required capital. In any case, we expect to fund our capital requirements relating to this potential investment by means of additional borrowings on the credit facility.

Table of Contents
Aside from acquisitions and renovations subject to a PIP, 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 that capital expenditures at properties not undergoing a PIP will be funded by our replacement reserves. With respect to two of our hotels, the reserves are placed in escrow accounts with funds deposited monthly, and reserved for capital improvements. The Hilton Savannah DeSoto and Hilton Wilmington Riverside have these reserve accounts and contribute 5% and 4% of gross sales, respectively. Upon completion of the renovations at the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville, monthly deposits equal to 4% of gross sales will be deposited in a reserve account in order to fund future capital improvements. Our intent is that overall expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment approximate 4% of gross revenue.

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.
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.
Our expenses, including hotel operating expenses, administrative expenses, real estate taxes and property and casualty insurance are subject to inflation. These expenses are expected to grow with the general rate of inflation, except for energy, liability insurance, property and casualty insurance, property tax rates, employee benefits, and some wages, which are expected to increase at rates higher than inflation.
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 Hotel. 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, Indiana, 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 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 propertys 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, 2007 or 2006.
We estimate the fair market values of our properties through cash flow analysis taking into account each propertys 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 managements 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 assets 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 customers 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, 2007. 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.

| 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 22, 2007 under Risk Factors, should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statement contained in this report or incorporated by reference herein.

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. Our credit facility required us to hedge at least one-half of the maximum borrowing amount with an interest-rate swap, which we purchased on August 8, 2006 on a notional amount of $30.0 million. As of March 31, 2007, derivatives with a fair value of approximately $510,000 were included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. From time to time we may enter into other interest rate hedge contracts such as collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $50.6 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $14.7 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 7.09%. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt, but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the change in 30-day LIBOR, but would be limited to the effect on the gap between the balance on the credit facility and the $30.0 million notional amount of the interest-rate swap purchased on August 8, 2006. Assuming that the amount outstanding under our credit facility remains at approximately $14.7 million, the balance at March 31, 2007, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in 30-day LIBOR would be approximately $153,000.
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $41.6 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $15.2 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 7.95%. At that date, our variable-rate debt was exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the change in 30-day LIBOR, but was limited to the effect on the gap between the balance on the credit facility and the $30.0 million notional amount of the interest-rate swap. Had the amount
23
Table of Contents
outstanding under the credit facility remained at approximately $16.2 million, the balance at December 31, 2006, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in 30-day LIBOR would have been approximately $138,000.
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 Corporations disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There was no change in MHI Hospitality Corporations 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 Corporations last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, MHI Hospitality Corporations internal control over financial reporting.
