NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 -                  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is a self-managed hotel investment company that was organized on June 30, 2010 as a Maryland corporation. The Company holds both general and limited partnership interests in Summit Hotel OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership also organized on June 30, 2010. On February 14, 2011, the Company closed on its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 26,000,000 shares of common stock and a concurrent private placement of 1,274,000 shares of common stock. Effective February 14, 2011, the Operating Partnership and Summit Hotel Properties, LLC (the “Predecessor”) completed the merger of the Predecessor with and into the Operating Partnership (the “Merger”). Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Summit Hotel OP, LP, the Operating Partnership subsidiary of the Company, filed a Form 15 on December 12, 2013 to voluntarily suspend its duty to file periodic and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and to voluntarily deregister its common units of limited partnership interest under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of filing the Form 15 with the SEC, the Operating Partnership is no longer required to file annual, quarterly or periodic reports with the SEC. The filing of the Form 15 by the Operating Partnership did not impact the registration of the Company’s common stock under the Exchange Act or the Company’s obligations as a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act.

 

At March 31, 2014, our portfolio consists of 90 upscale and upper midscale hotels with a total of 11,353 guestrooms located in 22 states. The hotels are leased to subsidiaries (“TRS Lessees”) of our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). We indirectly own 100% of the outstanding equity interests in all but one of our TRS Lessees. We indirectly own an 80% controlling interest in the TRS Lessee associated with the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Francisco, CA, which we acquired in early 2013 through a joint venture.

 

NOTE 2 -                  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

We prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP have been included. Results for the first quarter of 2014 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year 2014. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Segment Disclosure

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. Our investments in real estate are geographically diversified and the chief operating decision makers evaluate operating performance on an individual

asset level. As each of our assets has similar economic characteristics, the assets have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

 

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

 

We classify assets as held for sale in the period in which certain criteria are met, including when the sale of the asset within one year is probable. Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated and are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less selling costs.

 

We present the results of operations of hotel properties that have been sold or otherwise qualify as assets held for sale in discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the hotel properties have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations.

 

We periodically review our hotel properties and our land held for development based on established criteria such as age, type of franchise, adverse economic and competitive conditions, and strategic fit, to identify properties which we believe are either non-strategic or no longer complement our business.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in a subsidiary held by owners other than the consolidating parent. Noncontrolling interests are reported in the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from stockholders’ equity. Revenue, expenses and net income (loss) attributable to both the Company and the noncontrolling interests are reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include noncontrolling interests related to Common Units of the Operating Partnership held by unaffiliated third parties and third-party ownership of joint ventures.

 

Income Taxes

 

We are taxed as a REIT under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax (other than taxes paid by our TRS) to the extent we currently distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will be unable to re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT, unless we satisfy certain relief provisions.

 

We account for federal and state income taxes of our TRS using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities based on generally accepted accounting principles and respective carrying amounts for tax purposes, and operating losses and tax-credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rates. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including future reversals of taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies.

Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value measures are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1        Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2        Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets.

Level 3        Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require a reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques:

 

Market approach

Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Cost approach

Amount required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Income approach

Techniques used to convert future amounts to a single amount based on market expectations (including present-value, option-pricing, and excess-earnings models).

 

Our estimates of fair value were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. We classify assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

We elected not to use the fair value option for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other, debt, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. With the exception of our fixed-rate debt, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.”  The ASU changed the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing related disclosures.  Criteria for discontinued operations will now include only disposals that represent a strategic shift in operations with a major effect on operations and financial results.  The ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis and would be effective for us beginning January 1, 2015; however, we have elected early adoption, which is permitted for disposals, and classifications as held for sale, which have not been reported previously. While we have elected early adoption for our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, the sale of the AmericInn, Aspen Hotel & Suites and Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR are included in discontinued operations as these hotels were classified as held for sale in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. The AmericInn and Aspen Hotel & Suites were sold in January 2014.

Differences between carrying value and fair value of our fixed-rate debt are primarily due to changes in interest rates. Inherently, fixed-rate debt is subject to fluctuations in fair value.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

 

At March 31, 2014, we have a $300.0 million senior unsecured credit facility. Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”) is the administrative agent and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the sole lead arranger. The syndication of lenders includes Deutsche Bank; Bank of America, N.A.; Royal Bank of Canada; Key Bank; Regions Bank; Fifth Third Bank; Raymond James Bank, N.A.; and U.S. Bank National Association. Certain of our existing and future subsidiaries that own or lease an “unencumbered asset” will be required to guaranty this credit facility.

 

The senior unsecured credit facility is comprised of a $225.0 million revolving credit facility (the “$225 Million Revolver”) and a $75.0 million term loan (the “$75 Million Term Loan”). This credit facility has an accordion feature which will allow us to increase the commitments by an aggregate of $100.0 million on the $225 Million Revolver and the $75 Million Term Loan prior to October 10, 2017. The $225 Million Revolver will mature on October 10, 2017, which can be extended to October 10, 2018 at our option, subject to certain conditions. The $75 Million Term Loan will mature on October 10, 2018.

 

At March 31, 2014, the maximum amount of borrowing permitted under the senior unsecured credit facility was $300.0 million, of which, we had $166.0 million borrowed, $13.9 million in standby letters of credit, and $120.1 million available to borrow.

 

Term Loans

 

At March 31, 2014, we had $476.4 million in term loans outstanding. These term loans are secured primarily by first mortgage liens on hotel properties.

 

On January 9, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 182-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn in Houston, TX, we assumed a $17.9 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.22%, an amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of November 1, 2016.

 

On January 10, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 98-guestroom Hampton Inn in Santa Barbara (Goleta), CA, we assumed a $12.0 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.133%, an amortization period of 25 years, and a maturity date of November 11, 2021.

 

On March 14, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 210-guestroom DoubleTree by Hilton in San Francisco, CA, we assumed a $13.3 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.98%, an original amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of March 8, 2016.

 

On March 28, 2014, we amended our loan with GE Capital Financial cross-collateralized by the Courtyard by Marriott and the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, both located in Scottsdale, AZ. The loan was amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity date was extended to April 1, 2020.

 

On March 28, 2014, we amended two loans with General Electric Capital Corp. cross-collateralized by the Hilton Garden Inn (Lakeshore) and the Hilton Garden Inn (Liberty Park), both located in Birmingham, AL. Both loans were amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity dates were extended to April 1, 2020.

 

NOTE 7 -                  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Pending Hotel Property Acquisitions

 

At March 31, 2014, we had a purchase agreement for $37.7 million that has not been closed as of the issuance of these financial statements. This acquisition is contingent upon customary closing conditions; therefore, there is no assurance that it will be completed.

 

Litigation

 

We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business; however, there are currently no actions pending against us that we believe would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Common Stock

 

On January 3, 2013, we issued 1,974,669 shares of common stock to limited partners of the Operating Partnership upon redemption of their Common Units.

 

On January 14, 2013, we completed an underwritten public offering of 17,250,000 shares of common stock. Net proceeds were $148.1 million, after the underwriting discount and offering-related expenses of $7.2 million.

 

On March 1, 2013, we issued 292,090 shares of common stock to our executive officers pursuant to our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. On March 22, 2013, we issued 1,614 shares of common stock to one of our independent directors in lieu of cash for director fees.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On March 20, 2013, we completed a public offering of 3,400,000 shares of 7.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $81.7 million, after the underwriting discount and offering-related expenses of $3.3 million.

 

Our Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock have a $25 per share liquidation preference and pay dividends at an annual rate of $2.3125 per share of Series A, $1.96875 per share of Series B, and $1.78125 per share of Series C preferred stock. Dividend payments are made quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of February, May, August and November of each year.

 

Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

 

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, beginning on February 14, 2012, the unaffiliated third parties who hold Common Units in our Operating Partnership have the right to cause us to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of our shares of common stock at the time of redemption, or at our option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon redemption of Common Units may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividend payments, share subdivisions or combinations.

 

On January 3, 2013, we redeemed 1,974,669 Common Units for 1,974,669 shares of our common stock.

On January 2, 2014, we redeemed 126,155 Common Units for 126,155 shares of our common stock.

 

On January 10, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the Hampton Inn in Santa Barbara (Goleta), CA, we issued 412,174 Common Units in our Operating Partnership valued at $3.7 million.

 

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unaffiliated third parties owned 1,097,444 and 811,425, respectively, of Common Units of the Operating Partnership, representing an approximate 1% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

We classify outstanding Common Units held by unaffiliated third parties as noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, a component of equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The portion of net income (loss) allocated to these Common Units is reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership.

 

Noncontrolling Interests in Joint Venture

 

On February 11, 2013, we formed a joint venture with an affiliate of IHG to purchase a Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Francisco, CA. We own an 80% controlling interest in the joint venture and our partner owns a 20% interest. We classify our partner’s 20% interest as noncontrolling interest in joint

Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards

 

On March 1, 2013, we awarded time-based restricted stock awards for 106,518 shares of common stock to our executive officers. These awards vest over a three year period based on continued service (25% on February 28, 2014 and 2015 and 50% on February 28, 2016), or upon a change in control, and are subject to the other conditions described in our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. The holders of these awards have the right to vote the related shares of common stock and receive all dividends declared and paid whether or not vested.

 

The fair value of time-based restricted stock awards granted is calculated based on the market value on the date of grant.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards

 

On March 1, 2013, we awarded performance-based restricted stock awards for 185,572 shares of common stock to our executive officers. These awards vest ratably over the next three years (2013, 2014 and 2015) subject to the attainment of certain performance goals and continued service, or upon a change in control, and are subject to the other conditions described in our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. The holders of these awards have the right to vote the related shares of common stock and any dividends declared will be accumulated and will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards.

 

Our performance-based restricted stock awards are market-based awards and are accounted for based on the  fair value of our common stock on the grant date. These awards vest based on a performance measurement that requires the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) to exceed the TSR for the SNL U.S. Lodging REIT Index for a designated one, two or three year performance period. The fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards granted was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.

 

No performance-based restricted stock awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 because performance goals were not met.

Unrecognized equity-based compensation expense for all non-vested awards was $3.0 million at March 31, 2014. We expect to recognize this cost over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

 

NOTE 10 -    LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized a loss on impairment of assets of $1.5 million related to the SpringHill Suites in Lithia Springs, GA and the Courtyard by Marriott in Memphis, TN. These hotel properties were classified as held for sale at March 31, 2013 and subsequently sold in 2013. Their operating results, including impairment charges, are included in discontinued operations.

Our interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are valued using a market approach, which is a Level 2 valuation technique, and are all in a liability position. At March 31, 2014, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any financial provisions of the agreements. If we had breached any agreement provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $1.8 million at March 31, 2014.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivative financial instruments will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged variable-rate debt.

 

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in our consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate is impacted by the mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdictions. Our earnings (losses), other than in our TRSs, are not generally subject to federal corporate and state income taxes due to our REIT election.

 

Due to the decrease in cumulative losses over the past three years, management believes that sufficient positive evidence could become available in the future to reach a conclusion that the valuation allowance will no longer be needed, in whole or in part. Acceleration of improved operating results or significant taxable income from specific non-recurring transactions could further impact this assessment. The likelihood of realizing the benefit of deferred tax assets and the related need for a valuation allowance is assessed on an ongoing basis. This assessment requires estimates and significant management judgment as to future operating results, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies. At this time, we are not able to reasonably estimate when sufficient positive evidence will require reversal of the valuation allowance or the impact such reversal will have on our effective tax rate.

 

For the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, we recorded an income tax provision attributable to continuing operations of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.  We had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2014. We expect no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next year.  We recognize interest expense and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

 

NOTE 13 — FAIR VALUE

 

The following table presents information about our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

NOTE 15 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE/UNIT

 

We apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share, which requires the calculation of separate earnings per share amounts for our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable dividends and for our common stock. Our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable rights to dividends are considered securities which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. Our non-vested time-based restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable dividends do not have such an obligation so they are not allocated losses.

 

At March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had 893,000 stock options outstanding which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common shares.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our basic and diluted earnings per share are based on basic weighted average common shares outstanding due to our loss attributable to common stockholders.

Equity Transactions

 

On April 1, 2014, we issued 22,570 shares of common stock for Common Units of our Operating Partnership which were tendered for redemption on January 31, 2014.

 

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.1125 per share of common stock, $0.578125 per share of 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.4921875 per share of 7.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and $0.4453125 per share of 7.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. These dividends are payable May 30, 2014.

 

On May 6, 2014, we closed on a $25 million loan with Compass Bank.  The loan carries a variable rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 240 basis points, amortizes over 25 years, and has a May 6, 2020 maturity date.  The loan is secured by first mortgage liens on the Hampton Inn & Suites hotels located in Poway, CA, Camarillo, CA and Fort Worth, TX. The net proceeds from this loan were used to pay down our senior unsecured credit facility.

Overview

 

We focus primarily on acquiring and owning premium-branded select-service hotels in the upscale and upper midscale segments of the U.S. lodging industry, as these segments are currently defined by Smith Travel Research (“STR”). Since completion of our IPO on February 14, 2011, we have acquired 47 hotels containing 6,539 guestrooms for purchase prices aggregating $916.7 million. Currently, we own 90 hotels containing 11,353 guestrooms located in 22 states. Except for six hotels, five of which are subject to ground leases and one of which is subject to a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) lease, we own our hotels in fee simple. Our hotels are located in markets in which we have extensive experience and that exhibit multiple demand generators, such as business and corporate headquarters, retail centers, airports and tourist attractions.

 

The majority of our hotels operate under premium franchise brands owned by Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) (Courtyard by Marriott®, Residence Inn by Marriott®, SpringHill Suites by Marriott®, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott®, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott®), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”) (DoubleTree by Hilton®, Hampton Inn®, Hampton Inn & Suites®, Homewood Suites® and Hilton Garden Inn®), Intercontinental Hotel Group (“IHG”) (Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn Express®, Holiday Inn Express & Suites® and Staybridge Suites®) and an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”) (Hyatt Place® and Hyatt House®).

 

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2011.  To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate or manage our hotels.  Accordingly, we lease substantially all of our hotels to wholly owned subsidiaries of our taxable REIT subsidiary (our “TRS lessees”).

 

At March 31, 2014, all of our hotel properties are operated pursuant to hotel management agreements with third party hotel management companies, including the following:

 

·                       Interstate Management Company, LLC (“Interstate”) and its affiliate Noble Management Group, LLC (“Noble”) — 49 hotel properties

 

·                       Select Hotels Group, LLC (“Hyatt Management”) — 12 hotel properties

 

·                       Affiliates of Marriott, including Courtyard Management Corporation (“Courtyard Management”), Spring Hill SMC Corporation (“Spring Hill Management”) and Residence Inn by Marriott, Inc. (“Residence Inn Management”) — six hotel properties

 

·                       White Lodging Services Corporation (“White Lodging”) — four hotel properties

 

·                       Kana Hotels, Inc. (“Kana Hotels”) — three hotel properties

 

·                       InterMountain Management, LLC (“InterMountain”) and its affiliate, Pillar Hotels and Resorts, LP (“Pillar”) — four hotel properties

Our TRS lessees, defined below, may also employ other hotel managers in the future. We have, and will have, no ownership or economic interest in any of the hotel management companies engaged by our TRS lessees.

 

Our revenue is derived from hotel operations and consists of room revenue and other hotel operations revenue. As a result of our focus on select-service hotels in the upscale and upper midscale segments of the U.S. lodging industry, substantially all of our revenue is room revenue generated from sales of hotel rooms. We also generate, to a much lesser extent, other hotel operations revenue, which consists of ancillary revenue related to meeting rooms and other guest services provided at our hotels.

 

Industry Trends and Outlook

 

Room-night demand in the U.S. lodging industry is correlated to macroeconomic trends. Key drivers of demand include growth in gross domestic product, or GDP, corporate profits, capital investments and employment. Following periods of recession, recovery of room-night demand for lodging historically has lagged improvements in the overall economy. However, in the economic recovery beginning in early 2010, room-night demand has led improvements in the overall economy. Although we expect that our hotels will realize meaningful RevPAR gains as the economy and lodging industry continue to improve, the risk exists that global and domestic economic conditions may cause the economic recovery to stall, which likely would adversely affect our growth and financial performance expectations.

 

We have a positive outlook about macro-economic conditions and their effect on room-night demand.  We also expect that our near-term results will not be adversely affected by increased lodging supply in our markets. Growth in lodging supply typically lags growth in room-night demand. Key drivers of lodging supply include the availability and cost of capital, construction costs, local real estate market conditions and availability and pricing of existing properties. As a result of the scarcity of financing, a severe recession and declining operating fundamentals, during 2008 and 2009 many planned hotel developments were cancelled or postponed. We believe the effect of the severe recession will be prolonged compared with prior recessions, which could limit supply growth.

First Quarter 2014 Acquisitions

 

On January 9, 2014, we purchased a Hilton Garden Inn in Houston, TX for $37.5 million including the assumption of a $17.8 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.22%, an original amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of November 1, 2016. We expect to spend $3.4 million in renovations at this hotel over the next twelve months, for an estimated total cost of $224,700 per key.

 

On January 10, 2014, we purchased a Hampton Inn in Santa Barbara (Goleta), CA for $27.9 million including: i) the assumption of a $12.0 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.13%, an original amortization period of 25 years, and a maturity date of November 11, 2021, ii) the issuance of 412,174 Common Units in our Operating Partnership valued at the time of issuance at $3.7 million, and iii) $12.2 million in cash. We expect to spend $0.5 million in renovations at this hotel over the next twelve months, for an estimated total cost of $289,800 per key.

 

On January 24, 2014, we purchased a Four Points by Sheraton in San Francisco, CA for $21.3 million in cash. We expect to spend $1.4 million in renovations at this hotel over the next twelve months, for an estimated total cost of $224,300 per key.

 

On March 14, 2014, we purchased a DoubleTree by Hilton in San Francisco, CA for $39.1 million. The purchase price plus closing costs and renovation reserves was paid through: i) the assumption of a $13.3

million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.98%, an original amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of March 8, 2016, and ii) $30.8 million in cash.  We anticipate spending $4.5 million in renovations to the hotel during 2014, for a total cost of $207,600 per key.

 

We funded the cash portion of these acquisitions and renovations with borrowings under our senior unsecured credit facility.

 

First Quarter 2013 Acquisitions

 

On January 22, 2013, we purchased from affiliates of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt”), a portfolio of three hotel properties. We completed renovations on two of these hotel properties and expect to spend $0.8 million for renovations over the next twelve months at the remaining property for an estimated total cost of $88,800 per key. In addition, we acquired a land parcel in Orlando, FL valued at $2.8 million that is classified as land held for development. We funded this acquisition with a portion of the proceeds from our common stock offering completed on January 14, 2013 (the “January 2013 stock offering”).

 

On February 11, 2013, through a joint venture with an affiliate of IHG, we purchased a Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Francisco, CA for $240,100 per key. We expect to spend $4.3 million for renovations at this property for a total cost of $257,100 per key. The joint venture assumed a $23.4 million term loan as a part of the acquisition. We contributed $34.6 million, including $2.8 million in renovation reserves, to the joint venture for an 80% controlling interest. We funded our contribution to the joint venture with a portion of the proceeds from our January 2013 stock offering.

 

On March 11, 2013, we purchased a portfolio of five Marriott hotel properties. We completed renovations on two of these hotel properties and expect to spend an additional $0.8 million over the next twelve months, for an estimated total cost of $169,300 per key. We funded this acquisition with proceeds from term borrowings secured by previously acquired hotel properties and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility.

 

Dispositions

 

Pursuant to our strategy to continually evaluate our hotel properties and land held for development, we sold two hotel properties in the first quarter of 2014. When a property is identified as being held for sale, we reclassify the property on our consolidated balance sheets, evaluate for potential impairment and, in the case of a hotel property, report historical and future results of operations in discontinued operations. We recognize impairment charges on hotel properties in discontinued operations and on land held for development in continuing operations. We recognized no impairment charges in the first quarter of 2014 and impairment charges of $1.5 million in the first quarter 2013.

 

On January 17, 2014, we sold the AmericInn Hotel & Suites and the Aspen Hotel & Suites in Fort Smith, AR for $3.1 million. These hotel properties were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013. The sale of the AmericInn Hotel & Suites also included the assignment of its related ground lease.

 

On January 15, 2013, we sold the AmericInn Hotel & Suites in Golden, CO for $2.6 million. On February 15, 2013, we sold the Hampton Inn in Denver, CO for $5.5 million and recognized a gain on the sale of $1.7 million. On February 27, 2013, we sold a parcel of land in Jacksonville, FL for $1.9 million.

 

Results of Operations of Summit Hotel Properties, Inc.

 

The comparisons that follow should be reviewed in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As noted above, in the first quarter of 2014 we sold the AmericInn Hotel & Suites and the Aspen Hotel & Suites in Fort Smith, AR. In addition, at March 31, 2014, we classified as held for sale the Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR. Accordingly, we classified these hotel properties as discontinued operations and their operating results are not included in the discussion below.

Revenue. Total revenues, including room and other hotel operations revenue, increased $29.8 million in the first quarter 2014 compared with the first quarter 2013. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in same-store revenues of $4.3 million and an increase in revenues from the 19 hotel properties acquired in 2013 and four hotel properties acquired in the first quarter of 2014 (the “Acquired Hotels”) of $25.5 million.

 

The same-store revenue increase of $4.3 million, or 8.1%, was due to increases in occupancy to 72.8% in the first quarter 2014 compared with 70.3% in the first quarter 2013, and an increase in ADR to $110.01 in the first quarter 2014 from $105.22 in the first quarter 2013. The increases in occupancy and ADR resulted in an 8.4% increase in same-store RevPAR to $80.12 in the first quarter 2014 compared with $73.94 in the first quarter 2013. These increases were due to the improving economy, hotel industry fundamentals and renovations made at 17 hotel properties in 2013.

 

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses increased $20.2 million in the first quarter 2014 compared with first quarter 2013. The increase is due in part to the additional operating expenses from the Acquired Hotels of $17.2 million. In addition, the increase in same-store hotel operating expenses is due to $2.9 million of variable costs related to the increase in revenue.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.8 million in the first quarter 2014 compared with first quarter 2013, primarily due to the depreciation associated with the Acquired Hotels.

 

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million in the first quarter 2014 compared with first quarter 2013. Approximately $0.9 million of the increase was due to increased professional fees and expenses related to establishing new procedures and systems for intercompany account reconciliations, as well as performing the reconciliation of the balance sheets of

Table of Contents

 

intercompany company accounts between individual hotels and our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended 2013 and 2012.

 

Other Income/Expense. The $2.4 million increase in other income (expense) was primarily the result of an increase in interest expense due to debt incurred to finance the acquisition of the Acquired Hotels.

 

Cash Flows. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $11.2 million for first quarter 2014 compared with first quarter 2013 primarily resulted from a $1.4 million improvement in earnings, a $3.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization, and a $6.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in depreciation was primarily related to the Acquired Hotels. The $120.0 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter 2014 compared with the first quarter 2013 primarily resulted from a $120.4 million decrease in acquisitions of hotel properties and a $13.6 million decrease in restricted cash related to renovation reserves funded; partially offset by a $10.5 million increase in improvements and additions to hotel properties and a $6.5 million decrease in net proceeds from asset dispositions. The $148.2 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter 2014 compared with the first quarter 2013 resulted from a $237.6 million decrease in proceeds from equity offerings, partially offset by a $75.3 million decrease in payments on debt and a $3.6 million increase in dividends and distributions.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Pursuant to our strategy, we continually evaluate our hotel properties for potential sale and redeployment of capital. When a hotel property is sold or identified as being held for sale, we report its historical and future results of operations, including impairment charges, in discontinued operations. In the first quarter 2014, we reported the following hotel properties in discontinued operations:

 

·      AmericInn Hotel & Suites, Fort Smith, AR;

 

·      Aspen Hotel & Suites, Fort Smith, AR;

 

·      Hampton Inn, Fort Smith, AR

 

The AmericInn Hotel & Suites and the Aspen Hotel & Suites located in Fort Smith, AR were sold on January 17, 2014. The Hampton Inn in Fort Smith, AR was classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotel properties, recurring maintenance and capital expenditures necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with brand standards, capital expenditures to improve our hotel properties, acquisitions, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, and distributions to our stockholders.

 

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties, renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that periodically are made with respect to our hotel properties, and scheduled debt payments, including maturing loans.

 

To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. We generally intend to distribute at least 100% of our REIT taxable income to avoid tax on undistributed income. Therefore, if sufficient funds are not available to us from hotel dispositions, our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and mortgage loans, we will need to raise additional capital to grow our business and invest in additional hotel properties.

 

We expect to satisfy our liquidity requirements with cash provided by operations, working capital, and short-term borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. In addition, we may fund the purchase price of hotel acquisitions and cost of required capital improvements by borrowing under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, assuming existing mortgage debt, issuing securities (including partnership units issued by our operating partnership), or incurring other mortgage debt. Further, we may seek to raise capital through public or private offerings of our equity or debt securities. However, certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered hotel properties, borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders and market conditions. We will continue to analyze which sources of capital are most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but financing may not be consistently available to us on terms that are attractive, or at all. We believe that our cash provided by operations, working capital, borrowings available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and other sources of funds available to us will be sufficient to meet our ongoing liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Outstanding Indebtedness

 

At March 31, 2014, we had $401.4 million in debt secured by mortgages on 46 hotel properties. We also had $166.0 million outstanding under our senior unsecured credit facility that was supported by 35 hotel properties unencumbered by mortgage debt. In addition, we have nine other hotel properties unencumbered by mortgage debt, including eight hotel properties (containing 1,041 guestrooms) operating under brands owned by Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt, that are available to be used as collateral for future loans.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

 

At March 31, 2014, we have a $300.0 million senior unsecured credit facility. Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”) is the administrative agent and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the sole lead arranger. The syndication of lenders includes Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, Key Bank, Regions Bank, Fifth Third Bank, Raymond James Bank, N.A., and U.S. Bank National Association. Certain of our existing and future subsidiaries that own or lease an unencumbered asset, as described below, will be required to guaranty this credit facility.

 

The senior unsecured credit facility is comprised of a $225.0 million revolving credit facility (the “$225 Million Revolver”) and a $75.0 million term loan (the “$75 Million Term Loan”). This credit facility has an accordion feature which will allow us to increase the commitments by an aggregate of $100.0 million on the $225 Million Revolver and the $75 Million Term Loan prior to October 10, 2017. The $225 Million Revolver will mature on October 10, 2017, which can be extended to October 10, 2018 at our option, subject to certain conditions. The $75 Million Term Loan will mature on October 10, 2018.

 

Outstanding borrowings on this credit facility are limited to the least of (i) the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders, (ii) the aggregate value of the unencumbered assets, less our consolidated unsecured indebtedness, all as calculated pursuant to the terms of the credit facility documentation, multiplied by 60%, and (iii) the principal amount that when drawn under the credit facility would result in an unsecured interest expense, calculated on a pro forma basis for the next consecutive four fiscal quarters after taking such draws into account, equal to 50% of the net operating income of the unencumbered assets, as adjusted pursuant to the credit facility documentation.

 

Payment Terms. We are obligated to pay interest at the end of each selected interest period, but not less than quarterly, with all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due at the maturity. We have the right to pay all or any portion of the outstanding borrowings from time to time without penalty or premium. We pay interest on advances at varying rates, based upon, at our option, either (i) 1, 2, 3, or 6-month LIBOR, plus a LIBOR margin between 1.75% and 2.50%, depending upon our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility documentation), or (ii) the applicable base rate, which is the greatest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or 1-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a base rate margin between 0.75% and 1.50%, depending upon our leverage ratio. In addition, on a quarterly basis, we are required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to the unused amount multiplied by an annual rate of either (i) 0.30%, if the unused amount is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility, or (ii) 0.20%, if the unused amount is less than 50% of the maximum aggregate amount of the credit facility.

 

Financial and Other Covenants. We are required to comply with a series of financial and other covenants in order to borrow under this credit facility. The material financial covenants include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum dividend payout ratio, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value, a maximum ratio of secured recourse indebtedness to total asset value, a maximum ratio of consolidated unsecured indebtedness to total unencumbered asset value, and a maximum ratio of unencumbered adjusted net operating income to assumed unsecured interest expense.

 

We are also subject to other customary covenants, including restrictions on investment and limitations on liens and maintenance of properties. This credit facility also contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make payments when due under the terms of any of the credit facilities, breach of any covenant continuing beyond any cure period, and bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

Unencumbered Assets. This credit facility is unsecured; however, borrowings are limited by the value of hotel properties that qualify as unencumbered assets supporting this credit facility. At March 31, 2014, 35 of our hotel properties qualify as, and are deemed to be, unencumbered assets that support this credit facility. Among other conditions, unencumbered assets must not be subject to liens or security interest, and the owner and operating lessee of such unencumbered asset must execute a guaranty supplement pursuant to which the owner and operating lessee become subsidiary guarantors of the credit facility. In addition, hotel properties may be added to or removed from the unencumbered asset pool at any time so long as there is a minimum of 20 hotel

properties in the unencumbered asset pool, the unencumbered assets meet certain diversity requirements (such as limits on concentrations in any particular market), and the then-current borrowings on the credit facility do not exceed the maximum available under the credit facility given the availability limitations described above. Further, to be eligible as an unencumbered asset, the hotel property must: be franchised with a nationally-recognized franchisor; have been in operation a minimum of one year; satisfy certain ownership, management and operating lessee criteria; and not be subject to material defects, such as liens, title defects, environmental contamination and other standard lender criteria.

 

At March 31, 2014, the maximum amount of borrowing permitted under the senior unsecured credit facility was $300.0 million, of which, we had $166.0 million borrowed, $13.9 million in standby letters of credit, and $120.1 million available to borrow.

 

At May 9, 2014, 37 of our unencumbered hotel properties support the senior unsecured credit facility. As a result, the maximum amount of borrowing permitted under the senior unsecured credit facility was $300.0 million, of which we had $141.0 million borrowed, $13.9 million in standby letters of credit and $145.1 million available to borrow.

 

Term Loans

 

At March 31, 2014, we had $476.4 million in term loans outstanding. These term loans are secured primarily by first mortgage liens on hotel properties.

 

On January 9, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 182-guestroom Hilton Garden Inn in Houston, TX, we assumed a $17.9 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.22%, an amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of November 1, 2016.

 

On January 10, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 98-guestroom Hampton Inn in Santa Barbara (Goleta), CA, we assumed a $12.0 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.133%, an amortization period of 25 years, and a maturity date of November 11, 2021.

 

On March 14, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 210-guestroom DoubleTree by Hilton in San Francisco, CA, we assumed a $13.3 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.98%, an original amortization period of 30 years, and a maturity date of March 8, 2016.

 

On March 28, 2014, we amended two loans with GE Capital Financial cross - collateralized by the Courtyard by Marriott and the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, both located in Scottsdale, AZ. The loans were amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity date was extended to April 1, 2020.

 

On March 28, 2014, we amended two loans with General Electric Capital Corp. cross - collateralized by the Hilton Garden Inn (Lakeshore) and the Hilton Garden Inn (Liberty Park), both located in Birmingham, AL. Both loans were amended to bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and the maturity dates were extended to April 1, 2020.

 

For additional information regarding our term loans, please read our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

 

Equity Transactions

 

On January 2, 2014, we redeemed 126,155 Common Units, which had been tendered November 2, 2013, for shares of our common stock. On January 31, 2014, 22,570 Common Units were tendered for redemption, which we redeemed for 22,570 shares of our common stock on April 1, 2014.

 

On January 10, 2014, as part of our acquisition of the 98-guestroom Hampton Inn in Santa Barbara (Goleta), CA, we issued 412,174 Common Units in our operating partnership valued at $3.7 million.

Capital Expenditures

 

In the first quarter 2014, we spent $16.8 million on renovations, including $13.5 million on hotel properties that we owned at the beginning of 2013 and $3.3 million on hotel properties acquired since the beginning of 2013.  We currently have renovations underway at six of our hotel properties. We anticipate spending a total of $20.0 million to $28.0 million on hotel property renovations in the remainder of 2014. We expect to fund these renovations with cash provided by operations, working capital, borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, and other potential sources of capital, to the extent available to us.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

From time to time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements to facilitate our operations. At March 31, 2014, we had $13.9 million in outstanding stand-by letters of credit, of which $0.8 million was supporting performance bonds related to workers’ compensation insurance and other operational matters and $13.1 million in support of a purchase agreement for the Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Minneapolis. At May 9, 2014, we had $13.9 million in outstanding standby letters of credit.

In addition to the contractual obligations in the above table, at March 31, 2014 we are also obligated under a purchase agreement with a hotel property developer to acquire a Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Minneapolis, MN for $37.7 million subject to certain conditions, including the completion of construction of the hotel in accordance with agreed upon architectural and engineering designs, receipt of a Hampton Inn & Suites franchise, and receipt of a certificate of occupancy.  Therefore, there is no assurance that the acquisition will be completed. In January 2014, we issued a standby letter of credit for $13.1 million in support of this purchase agreement. This letter of credit was issued under our senior unsecured credit facility.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recent Developments

 

Debt

 

On May 6, 2014, we closed on a $25 million loan with Compass Bank.  The loan carries a variable rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 240 basis points, amortizes over 25 years, and has a May 6, 2020 maturity date.  The loan is secured by first mortgage liens on the Hampton Inn & Suites hotels located in Poway, CA, Camarillo, CA and Fort Worth, TX.  The net proceeds of this loan were used to pay down our senior unsecured credit facility.

 

Item 3.                                                         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk to which we are currently exposed, and to which we expect to be exposed in the future, is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is to 30-day LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis we also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

 

At March 31, 2014, we were party to four interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $104.0 million, where we receive variable rate payments in exchange for making fixed rate payments. These agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges and have a termination value of $1.8 million.

 

At March 31, 2014, after giving effect to our interest rate swap agreements, $474.4 million, or 83.6%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and $93.0 million, or 16.4%, had variable interest rates. Assuming no increase in the outstanding balance of our variable rate debt, if interest rates increase by 1.0% our cash flow would decrease by approximately $0.9 million per year.

 

As our fixed rate debts mature, they will become subject to interest rate risk. In addition, as our variable rate debts mature, lenders may impose interest rate floors on new financing arrangements because of the low interest rates experienced during the past few years. At March 31, 2014, we have no debt that matures in 2014. However, $10.1 million of our long-term debt is scheduled to amortize in 2014, of which $10.0 million has fixed interest rates.

 

Item 4.                     Controls and Procedures.

 

Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We have started implementation of changes to our internal controls over financial reporting to remediate the material weakness identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  In the course of preparing our 2013 Annual Report and the consolidated financial statements included therein, our management identified a deficiency in the design of our internal control over financial reporting in that we did not have in place controls and procedures that would allow us to reconcile the balance sheets of our

 

34



Table of Contents

 

individual hotels to the final consolidated amounts in our consolidated balance sheet.  As a result of the design deficiency, the intercompany accounts between the individual hotels and the consolidated entity had not been reconciled in 2013 and in prior periods.  In order to prepare the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the audit committee of our board of directors engaged a nationally recognized consulting and accounting firm to assist our management with the reconciliation of the intercompany accounts between the individual hotels and the consolidated entity for 2012, 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.  Notwithstanding the material weakness, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the periods presented therein.

 

Our management has worked diligently to further identify and implement procedures and controls to remediate the material weakness.  The Company has begun the implementation of certain processes, which include establishment of an additional balance sheet for each of our hotels to reflect operations as reported by our management companies, and reconciliation of such balance sheets with the intercompany accounts between the individual hotels and our consolidated entity, as well as developing resources to develop and reconcile the same.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.                                                         Legal Proceedings.

 

We are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, however, we are not currently aware of any actions against us that we believe would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A.                                                Risk Factors.

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
