NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own primarily full-service upper-upscale and upscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern United States. The hotels operate under well-known national hotel brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton 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 (the “initial properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, MHI Hospitality, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company also owns a 25.0% non-controlling interest in the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort through a joint venture with CRP/MHI Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of both Carlyle Realty Partners V, L.P. and The Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”).

For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which, at September 30, 2011, was approximately 75.0% 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, MHI Hotels Services, LLC (“MHI Hotels Services”), to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

All references in this report to the “Company”, “MHI”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to MHI Hospitality Corporation, its operating partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.

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

Amendments to Credit Agreement – On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to its credit agreement to address the sufficiency of the borrowing base. The amendment revises the methodology used to value the Company’s existing hotel properties in the borrowing base and modifies certain other aspects of the credit agreement, as amended, including fixing the interest rate spread for the variable LIBOR-based interest rate at 4.00% and a minimum LIBOR of 0.75%. The amendment converts the facility to non-revolving, eliminates the Company’s ability to re-borrow principal paid in the future and establishes minimum repayments equal to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the agreement, payable quarterly. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company is required to fund reserves for insurance and real estate taxes as well as a reserve for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment equal to 3.0% of gross room revenues. The amendment also modifies the fixed charge covenant, eliminates the leverage covenant, places limits on capital expenditures and requires prepayments from a portion of the proceeds of future equity offerings of up to $21.7 million. In the event that the Company makes prepayments totaling $21.7 million, the excess cash flow prepayment requirement will terminate. The amendment allows the Company to pay additional dividends in any fiscal quarter, subject to the existing cap of 90% of the prior year’s funds from operations (“FFO”) provided certain liquidity thresholds and other conditions are met. The amendment provides for a contingent extension of the maturity date for one year to May 2012, provided that certain valuation and other criteria are met, including payment of an extension fee and an extension or refinancing of the Jacksonville mortgage.

On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the credit agreement. Among other things, the amendment: (i) extends the final maturity date of the credit facility to May 8, 2014; (ii) provides that no additional advances may be made and no currently outstanding advances subsequently repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed; (iii) adjusts the release amounts with respect to secured hotel properties; (iv) reduces the additional interest from 4.00% to 3.50% and removes the LIBOR floor of 0.75%; and (v) adjusts certain financial covenants including restrictions relating to payment of dividends. In connection with the amendment, the Company reduced the outstanding balance on its existing credit facility by approximately $22.7 million.

Sale of Preferred Stock and Warrant – On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Essex Illiquid, LLC and Richmond Hill Capital Partners, LP (collectively, the “Investors”), under which the Company issued and sold to the Investors in a private placement 25,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for a purchase price of $25.0 million.

The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the Warrant to partially prepay the amounts owed by the Company under its credit agreement.

Available Bridge Financing – On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Essex Equity High Income Joint Investment Vehicle, LLC, pursuant to which the Company has the right to borrow up to $10.0 million on or before December 31, 2011 (the “Bridge Financing”). The principal amount borrowed will bear interest at the rate of 9.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears and will mature on the earlier of April 18, 2015 or the redemption in full of the Preferred Stock.

Mortgage Loan Extension – On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with TowneBank to extend the maturity of the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina until June 30, 2012. Under the terms of the extension, the Company will make monthly principal payments of $16,000. Interest payable monthly pursuant to the mortgage was increased to LIBOR plus additional interest of 4.55% and a minimum total rate of interest of 5.00%. The Company also pledged $750,000 in cash collateral held by the lender in an interest-bearing account.

Mortgage Loan Refinancing – On August 1, 2011, the Company entered into agreements with PNC Bank, National Association, in its capacity as trustee of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust, to extend the maturity of the mortgage on the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Riverfront until January 22, 2013. During the extension, and pursuant to the loan documents, the interest rate applicable to the mortgage loan is fixed at 8.0% and the lender has waived certain covenants requiring the borrower to further pay down principal under certain circumstances. In order to effect the extension, and pursuant to the loan documents, the Company tendered to the lender the sum of $4.0 million as principal curtailment of the mortgage loan, thus reducing the mortgage loan’s current outstanding principal amount to $14.0 million, and the lender waived certain covenants requiring the Company to further pay down principal under certain circumstances.

On August 5, 2011, the Company obtained a 10-year, $7.5 million mortgage with Bank of Georgetown on the Holiday Inn Laurel West hotel property. The mortgage bears interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum for the first five years. After five years, the rate of interest will adjust to a rate of 3.00% per annum plus the then-current 5-year U.S. Treasury bill rate of interest, with a floor of 5.25%. The mortgage provides for level payments of principal and interest on a monthly basis under a 25-year amortization schedule. Proceeds of the mortgage were used to pay down a portion of the Company’s indebtedness under its credit facility.

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, the Operating Partnership, MHI TRS and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties include investments in operating properties which are recorded at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from 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 that extend the life of the property, are capitalized.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 7 to 39 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.

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.

Investment in Joint Venture – Investment in joint venture represents the Company’s non-controlling indirect 25.0% equity interest in (i) the entity that owns the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort; (ii) the entity that leases the hotel and has engaged MHI Hotels Services to operate the hotel under a management contract; (iii) the entity that entered into a lease agreement upon closing of the hotel acquisition with respect to the adjacent three-acre site on which is located a parking garage that is utilized by the hotel; and (iv) the entity that owned the junior participation in the existing mortgage. Carlyle owns a 75.0% controlling indirect interest in all these entities. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting and is entitled to receive its pro rata share of annual cash flow. The Company also has the opportunity to earn an incentive participation in net sale proceeds based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition to its pro rata share of net sale proceeds.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk – The Company holds cash accounts at several institutions in excess of the FDIC protection limits of $250,000. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of the failure of these institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC protection limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors, on a regular basis, the financial condition of the financial institutions along with the balances there on deposit to minimize the Company’s potential risk.

Restricted Cash – Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows, insurance escrows, reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment as well as cash collateral accounts maintained with its lenders or lenders’ agents pursuant to certain requirements in the Company’s various mortgage agreements and line of credit.

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

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The un-amortized franchise fees as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $296,240 and $331,002, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $11,587 and $34,763, respectively, and $12,187 and $36,562, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

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 consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Instruments – The Company’s derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as an interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity 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 uses derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily used an interest-rate swap, which was required under its credit agreement and acted as a cash flow hedge involving the receipts of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments without exchange of the underlying principal amount. The Company valued its interest-rate swap at fair value, which it defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and included it in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company also uses derivative instruments in the Company’s stock to obtain more favorable terms on its financing. The Company does not enter into contracts to purchase or sell derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

The Company classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table represents our derivative instruments measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement:

Table of Contents

The Company’s interest-rate swap liability is valued by discounting expected future cash flows based on quoted prices for forward interest-rate contracts.

The warrant derivative liability was valued at September 30, 2011 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming an exercise price of $2.25 per share of common stock, a risk-free interest rate of 0.97%, a dividend yield of 5.00%, expected volatility of 68.0% and a remaining term of approximately 5 years.

Cumulative Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock – The Company accounts for its preferred stock based upon the guidance enumerated in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable on April 18, 2016, or upon the earlier occurrence of certain triggering events and therefore is classified as a liability instrument on the date of issuance.

Warrants – The Company accounts for the warrant based upon the guidance enumerated in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock. The Warrant contains a provision that could require an adjustment to the exercise price if we issued securities deemed to be dilutive to the Warrant and therefore is classified as a derivative liability. The Warrant is carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as the Warrant remains classified as a derivative liability.

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

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

Occupancy and Other Taxes – Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “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 Company’s wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, which leases the Company’s hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

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. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has no uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Company recognizes obligations for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense. The period from December 21, 2004 through December 31, 2010 remains open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

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

Under the Plan, the Company has made restricted stock and deferred stock awards totaling 215,938 shares including 165,935 shares issued to certain executives and employees, and 50,000 restricted shares issued to its independent directors. Of the 165,935 shares issued to certain of the Company’s executives and employees, all have vested except 14,000 shares issued to the Vice President and General Counsel upon execution of his employment contract which will vest in equal amounts of 7,000 shares on each anniversary of the effective date of his employment agreement over the next two-year period. Regarding the restricted shares awarded to the Company’s independent directors, all of the shares have vested except 12,000 shares which vest at the end of 2011.

The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the Company’s 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 September 30, 2011, 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. Compensation cost recognized under the Plan was $11,698 and $35,093, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $46,418 and $132,337, respectively for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

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 – 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

Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a secured credit facility with a syndicated bank group comprised of BB&T, Key Bank National Association and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company.

On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to its credit agreement modifying certain provisions of the agreement including an increase in the rate of interest to LIBOR plus additional interest of 4.00%. The amendment established a LIBOR floor of 0.75%; converted it to a non-revolving facility; eliminated a fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the facility; instituted a provision for mandatory quarterly pre-payments based on excess cash flow, as defined in the amendment, as well as a provision for mandatory prepayment if the Company raises equity within certain parameters; and provided an option to extend the maturity for one year if certain conditions were met.

On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the credit agreement which, among other things, (i) extends the final maturity date of advances under the credit agreement to May 8, 2014; (ii) provides that no additional advances may be made and no currently outstanding advances subsequently repaid or prepaid may be re-borrowed; (iii) adjusts the release amounts with respect to secured hotel properties; (iv) reduces the additional interest from 4.00% to 3.50% and removes the LIBOR floor of 0.75%; and (v) adjusts certain financial covenants including restrictions relating to payment of dividends. In connection with the amendment, the Company reduced the outstanding balance on its existing credit facility by approximately $22.7 million.

The Company had borrowings under the credit facility of approximately $45.1 million and approximately $75.2 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, the credit facility was secured by the Holiday Inn Brownstone in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Hilton Philadelphia Airport, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore, as well as a lien on all business assets of those properties including, but not limited to, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, furniture, fixtures and proceeds thereof. At September 30, 2011, the four properties had a net carrying value of approximately $93.1 million. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the Company must satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all required covenants as of September 30, 2011.

Mortgage Debt. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $75.0 million of outstanding mortgage debt. The following table sets forth the Company’s mortgage debt obligations on its hotels.

Table of Contents

Total mortgage debt maturities as of September 30, 2011 without respect to any additional loan extensions or modification subsequent to September 30, 2011 for the following twelve-month periods were as follows:

Loan from Carlyle Affiliate Lender. On February 9, 2009, the indirect subsidiary of the Company which is a member of the joint venture entity that owns the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, borrowed $4.75 million from the Carlyle entity that is the other member of such joint venture (the “Carlyle Affiliate Lender”), for the purpose of improving the Company’s liquidity. In June 2008, the joint venture that owns the property purchased a junior participation in a portion of the mortgage loan from the lender. The amount of the loan from the Carlyle Affiliate Lender approximated the amount the Company contributed to the joint venture to enable the joint venture to purchase its interest in the mortgage loan. The interest rate and maturity date of the loan are tied to a note that is secured by a mortgage on the property. The loan, which currently bears a rate of LIBOR plus additional interest of 3.00%, requires monthly payments of interest and principal equal to 50.0% of any distributions it receives from the joint venture. The maturity date of the mortgage to which the loan is tied matures in August 2014. The outstanding balance on the loan at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $4,400,220 and $4,493,970, respectively.

Available Bridge Financing. On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Essex Equity High Income Joint Investment Vehicle, LLC, pursuant to which the Company has the right to borrow up to $10.0 million before the earlier of December 31, 2011 or the redemption in full of the Preferred Stock. The principal amount borrowed will bear interest at the rate of 9.25% per

annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The Bridge Financing will mature on April 18, 2015 or upon the redemption in full of the Preferred Stock, if earlier. The outstanding balance may be prepaid at the Company’s option in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Further, the Company is obligated (i) to make prepayments in the event of, and to the extent of the proceeds from, new equity issuances, certain debt incurrences and sales of assets which do not secure the Company’s obligations under the Company’s credit agreement and (ii) to repay the Bridge Financing in full following certain trigger events which also give rise to an obligation to redeem the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The agreement provides for certain future securities pledges and/or asset liens to be granted from time to time to the lender to secure the Bridge Financing, under the circumstances and upon the conditions set forth in the agreement. At September 30, 2011, the Company had borrowings under the Bridge Financing of $4.0 million.

6. 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. In December 2007, the Company signed an amendment to the lease to include rights to the outdoor esplanade adjacent to the leased commercial space. These areas are leased under a six-year operating lease, which expired October 31, 2006 and has been renewed for the second of five optional five-year periods expiring October 31, 2011, October 31, 2016, October 31, 2021, October 31, 2026 and October 31, 2031, respectively. Rent expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $16,215 and $49,640, respectively, and totaled $14,251 and $44,530 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, for this operating lease.

The Company leases, as landlord, the entire fourteenth floor of the Savannah hotel property to The Chatham Club, Inc. under a ninety-nine year lease expiring July 31, 2086. 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 August 31, 2016. There is a renewal option for up to three additional ten-year periods expiring August 31, 2026, August 31, 2036, and August 31, 2046, respectively. The Company holds an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the leased land at fair market value at the end of the original lease term, subject to the payment of an annual fee of $9,000, and other conditions. Rent expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $23,871 and $71,612, respectively, and totaled $23,871 and $71,612 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

In conjunction with the sublease arrangement for the property at Shell Island, the Company incurs an annual lease expense for a leasehold interest other than the purchased leasehold interest. Lease expense totaled $48,750 and $146,250 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively and totaled $48,750 and $146,250 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

The Company leases a parking lot in close proximity to the Sheraton Louisville Riverside. The land is leased under an agreement dated August 17, 2007 with the City of Jeffersonville, which in turn leases the property from the State of Indiana. The lease term for the parking lot coincides with that of the lease with the State of Indiana, which expires December 31, 2011.
