Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS 2 INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business

Organization

Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us or our, is a publicly-owned, non-listed real estate investment trust, or REIT, formed as a Maryland corporation in May 2014 for the purpose of acquiring, owning, disposing of and, through our advisor, managing and seeking to enhance the value of interests in lodging and lodging-related properties primarily in the United States. We conduct substantially all of our investment activities and own all of our assets through CWI 2 OP, LP, or the Operating Partnership. We are a general partner and a limited partner and own a 99.985% capital interest in the Operating Partnership. Carey Watermark Holdings 2, LLC, or Carey Watermark Holdings 2, which is owned indirectly by W. P. Carey Inc., or WPC, holds a special general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.

We are managed by Carey Lodging Advisors, LLC, or our Advisor, an indirect subsidiary of WPC. Our Advisor manages our overall portfolio, including providing oversight and strategic guidance to the independent hotel operators that manage our hotels. CWA 2, LLC, a subsidiary of Watermark Capital Partners, or the Subadvisor, provides services to our Advisor primarily relating to acquiring, managing, financing and disposing of our hotels and overseeing the independent operators that manage the day-to-day operations of our hotels. In addition, the Subadvisor provides us with the services of Michael G. Medzigian, our chief executive officer, subject to the approval of our independent directors.

We held ownership interests in six hotels at June 30, 2016. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 — Portfolio Overview for a complete listing of the hotels that we consolidate, or our Consolidated Hotels, and the hotel that we record as an equity investment, or our Unconsolidated Hotel, at June 30, 2016.

 

Public Offering

On February 9, 2015, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-196681), covering an initial public offering of up to $1.4 billion of Class A shares, was declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The Registration Statement also covered the offering of up to $600.0 million of Class A shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or DRIP. On April 1, 2015, we filed an amended Registration Statement to include Class T shares in our initial public offering and under our DRIP, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2015, allowing for the sales of Class A and Class T shares, in any combination, of up to $1.4 billion in the initial public offering and up to $600.0 million through our DRIP. Our initial public offering is being offered on a “best efforts” basis by Carey Financial, LLC, or Carey Financial, an affiliate of our Advisor, and other selected dealers.

On May 15, 2015, aggregate subscription proceeds for our Class A and Class T common stock exceeded the minimum offering amount of $2.0 million and we began to admit stockholders. From May 22, 2014, which we refer to as our Inception, through June 30, 2016, we raised offering proceeds of $183.8 million from our Class A common stock and $286.5 million from our Class T common stock. During the same period, we also raised $1.7 million and $2.3 million through our DRIP from our Class A and Class T common stock, respectively. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. While our core strategy is focused on the lodging industry, we may also invest in other real estate property sectors. We currently intend to sell shares through our initial public offering until March 31, 2017.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP.

CWI 2 6/30/2016 10-Q – 8

---

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in our 2015 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For purposes of determining the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class T common stock outstanding, amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 have been adjusted to treat stock distributions declared and effective through the date of this Report as if they were outstanding as of January 1, 2015.

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

On January 1, 2016, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s, or FASB’s, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, as described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section below, which amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity, or VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities which operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We performed this analysis on all of our subsidiary entities following the guidance in ASU 2015-02 to determine whether they qualify as VIEs and whether they should be consolidated or accounted for as equity investments in an unconsolidated venture. As a result of this change in guidance, we determined that two entities that were previously classified as voting interest entities should now be classified as VIEs as of January 1, 2016 and therefore included in our VIE disclosure. However, there was no change in determining whether or not we consolidate these entities as a result of the new guidance. We elected to retrospectively adopt ASU 2015-02, which resulted in changes to our VIE disclosures within the consolidated balance sheets. There were no other changes to our consolidated balance sheets or results of operations for the period presented.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

At June 30, 2016, we considered three entities to be VIEs, two of which we consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
Net investments in real estate	$	314,918			$	129,778
Total assets	345,184				143,131
Non-recourse and limited-recourse debt, net	$	177,054			$	66,700
Total liabilities	196,046				77,860

Reclassifications 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 

On January 1, 2016, we adopted ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) as described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section below. ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, which were previously recognized as an asset and requires that they be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. As a result of adopting this guidance, we reclassified $0.8 million of deferred financing costs from Other assets to Non-recourse and limited-recourse debt, net as of December 31, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted but not before 2017, the original public company effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810). ASU 2015-02 amends the current consolidation guidance, including modification of the guidance for evaluating whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for VIEs or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, ASU 2015-02 requires an entity to classify a limited liability company or a limited partnership as a VIE unless the partnership provides partners with either substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights over the managing member or general partner. Refer to the discussion in the Basis of Consolidation section above.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, which were previously recognized as an asset, and requires that they be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and retrospective application is required. We adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and have disclosed the reclassification of our debt issuance costs in the Reclassifications section above.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment, including the effect on earnings of any amounts it would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, early adoption is permitted and prospective application is required for adjustments that are identified after the effective date of this update. We elected to early adopt ASU 2015-16 and implemented the standard prospectively beginning July 1, 2015. The adoption and implementation of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the final lease standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. ASU 2016-05 clarifies that a change in counterparty to a derivative contract in and of itself, does not require the dedesignation of a hedging relationship. ASU 2016-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted and entities have the option of adopting this guidance on a prospective basis to new derivative contracts or on a modified retrospective basis. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-05 on January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis and there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). ASU 2016-07 simplifies the transition to the equity method of accounting. ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. Instead, the equity method of accounting will be applied prospectively from the date significant influence is obtained. The new standard should be applied prospectively for investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting in interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and we elected to early adopt this standard as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Asset Management Fees, Disposition Fees and Loan Refinancing Fees

We pay our Advisor an annual asset management fee equal to 0.55% of the aggregate average market value of our investments. Our Advisor is also entitled to receive disposition fees of up to 1.5% of the contract sales price of a property, as well as a loan refinancing fee of up to 1.0% of the principal amount of a refinanced loan, if certain described conditions in the advisory agreement are met. If our Advisor elects to receive all or a portion of its fees in shares of our common stock, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value, or NAV, per share for Class A shares (while before our initial NAV was published in March 2016, we used our offering price for Class A shares of $10.00 per share). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our Advisor elected to receive its fees in shares of our Class A common stock rather than in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, $1.5 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, in asset management fees were settled in shares of our common stock. At June 30, 2016, our Advisor owned 244,564 shares (1.3%) of our outstanding Class A common stock. Asset management fees are included in Asset management fees to affiliate and other in the consolidated financial statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had not paid any disposition fees or loan refinancing fees.

Available Cash Distributions

Carey Watermark Holdings 2 will receive 10% of Available Cash Distributions, as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. The limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership also provides Carey Watermark Holdings 2 with an interest in subordinated disposition proceeds and subordinated listing distributions.

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements/Reimbursable Costs

Pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, after we reimburse our Advisor, it will subsequently reimburse the Subadvisor for personnel costs and other charges. The Subadvisor provides us with the services of Michael G. Medzigian, our chief executive officer, subject to the approval of our board of directors. In addition, pursuant to the advisory agreement, we reimburse our Advisor for the actual cost of personnel allocable to their time devoted to providing administrative services to us, as well as rent expense. These reimbursements are included in Corporate general and administrative expenses and Due to related parties and affiliates in the consolidated financial statements and are being settled in cash. We have also granted restricted stock units, or RSUs, to employees of the Subadvisor pursuant to our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

We have a dealer manager agreement with Carey Financial, whereby Carey Financial receives a selling commission, for the Class A and Class T common stock. Until we adjusted our offering prices in March 2016, Carey Financial received a selling commission of up to $0.70 and $0.19 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of up to $0.30 and $0.26 per share sold for the Class A and Class T common stock, respectively. After we adjusted our offering prices in March 2016, Carey Financial receives a selling commission of $0.82 and $0.22 and a dealer manager fee of $0.35 and $0.30 per share sold for the Class A and Class T common stock, respectively. The selling commissions are re-allowed and a portion of the dealer manager fees may be re-allowed to selected dealers. These amounts are recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated financial statements.

Carey Financial also receives an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee in connection with our Class T common stock, which it may re-allow to selected dealers. The amount of the shareholder servicing fee is 1.0% of the amount of our NAV per Class T share (while before our NAV was published, the fee was 1.0% of the selling price per share for the Class T common stock in our initial public offering). The shareholder servicing fee accrues daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. We will no longer incur the shareholder servicing fee after the sixth anniversary of the end of the quarter in which the initial public offering terminates, and the fees may end sooner if the total underwriting compensation that is paid in respect of the offering reaches 10.0% of the gross offering proceeds or if we undertake a liquidity event, as described in our prospectus, before that sixth anniversary. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, $6.8 million of distribution and shareholder servicing fees were charged to stockholders’ equity.

Notes Payable to WPC and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In April 2015, our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC approved unsecured loans to us and our affiliate, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI 1, another lodging fund advised by our Advisor, of up to an aggregate of $110.0 million, at an interest rate equal to the rate at which WPC is able to borrow funds under its senior unsecured credit facility, for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions, approved by our respective investment committees, that we might not otherwise have sufficient available funds to complete. As of December 31, 2015, CWI 1’s access to these unsecured loans was terminated by WPC, and as a result, the entire $110.0 million became available to be borrowed by us. Any such loans are solely at the discretion of WPC’s management. On January 20, 2016, we borrowed $20.0 million from WPC at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.1% with a maturity date of February 17, 2016, which we used to fund, in part, the acquisition of the Seattle Marriott Bellevue (Note 4). This loan was repaid in full on February 10, 2016 using proceeds from our initial public offering. The interest expense on this note payable to our affiliate is included in Interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2016, $110.0 million was available to be borrowed from WPC by us.

Organization and Offering Costs

Pursuant to our advisory agreement, we are liable for certain expenses related to our public offering, including filing, legal, accounting, printing, advertising, transfer agent and escrow fees, which are deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. We reimburse Carey Financial and selected dealers for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred that are supported by a detailed and itemized invoice. The total underwriting compensation to Carey Financial and selected dealers in connection with the offering cannot exceed limitations prescribed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Our Advisor will be reimbursed for all organization expenses and offering costs incurred in connection with our offering (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) limited to 4% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are less than $500.0 million, 2% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are $500.0 million or more but less than $750.0 million, and 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are $750.0 million or more. Through June 30, 2016, our Advisor incurred organization and offering costs on our behalf of approximately $6.6 million, all of which we were obligated to pay. Unpaid costs of $0.5 million were included in Due to affiliates in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2016. 

During the offering period, costs incurred in connection with raising of capital are recorded as deferred offering costs. Upon receipt of offering proceeds, we charge the deferred offering costs to stockholders’ equity. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, $3.0 million of deferred offering costs were charged to stockholders’ equity.

Other Amounts Due to Our Advisor

At June 30, 2016, other amounts due to our Advisor primarily represented acquisition fees of $1.5 million payable with regard to the acquisition of Le Méridien Arlington on June 28, 2016, which was paid in the third quarter of 2016.

 

Jointly-Owned Investments

At June 30, 2016, we owned interests in two jointly-owned investments with CWI 1: the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa, a Consolidated Hotel, and the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, an Unconsolidated Hotel (Note 5).

2016 Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we acquired two hotels, which were considered to be business combinations. We refer to these investments as our 2016 Acquisitions.

Seattle Marriott Bellevue

On January 22, 2016, we acquired a 95.4% interest in the Seattle Marriott Bellevue hotel from an unaffiliated third party, which includes real estate and other hotel assets, net of assumed liabilities and noncontrolling interest, with a fair value totaling $175.9 million, as detailed in the table that follows.  The remaining 4.6% interest is retained by the original owner. The original owners’ contribution, which is held in a restricted cash account, was in the form of a $4.0 million Net Operating Interest, or NOI, Guarantee Reserve, which guarantees minimum predetermined NOI amounts to us over a period of approximately four years. The 384-room full-service hotel is located in Bellevue, Washington. The hotel continues to be managed by HEI Hotels & Resorts. In connection with this acquisition, we expensed acquisition costs of $5.3 million (of which $4.9 million was expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $0.4 million was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2015), including acquisition fees of $4.7 million paid to our Advisor. We obtained a limited-recourse mortgage loan on the property of $100.0 million upon acquisition (Note 8). In addition, the equity portion of our investment was financed, in part, by a loan of $20.0 million from WPC, which was fully repaid in February 2016 (Note 3).

Le Méridien Arlington

On June 28, 2016, we acquired a 100% interest in the Le Méridien Arlington from an unaffiliated third party, which includes real estate and other hotel assets, net of assumed liabilities and noncontrolling interest, with a fair value totaling $54.9 million, as detailed in the table that follows. The 154-room, full-service hotel is located in Rosslyn, Virginia. The hotel continues to be managed by HEI Hotels & Resorts. In connection with this acquisition, we expensed acquisition costs of $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016, including acquisition fees of $1.5 million paid to our Advisor. We obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan on the property of $35.0 million upon acquisition (Note 8).

The following tables present a summary of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these business combinations, at the dates of acquisition, and revenues and earnings thereon, since the respective date of acquisition through June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information presents our financial results as if our acquisition of the Seattle Marriott Bellevue, and the new financing related to this acquisition, had occurred on July 14, 2015, the opening date of the acquired hotel and as if our acquisition of the Le Méridien Arlington, and the new financing related to this acquisition, had occurred on January 1, 2015. These transactions were accounted for as business combinations. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would have been had the acquisitions actually occurred on the dates listed above, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

The pro forma weighted-average shares outstanding were determined as if the number of shares issued in our initial public offering in order to raise the funds used for our acquisitions of the Seattle Marriott Bellevue and Le Méridien Arlington were issued on July 14, 2015 and January 1, 2015, respectively. We assumed that we would have issued Class A shares to raise such funds. All acquisition costs for the Seattle Marriott Bellevue and Le Méridien Arlington are presented as if they were incurred on July 14, 2015 and January 1, 2015, respectively.

Construction in Progress

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, construction in progress, recorded at cost, was $15.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and in each case related primarily to planned renovations at the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa (Note 9). We capitalize interest expense and certain other costs, such as property taxes, property insurance and hotel incremental labor costs, related to hotels undergoing major renovations. We capitalized $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. No such costs were capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, accrued capital expenditures increased by $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, representing non-cash investing activity.

Note 5. Equity Investment in Real Estate

At June 30, 2016, we owned an equity interest in one Unconsolidated Hotel, together with CWI 1 and an unrelated third party. We do not control the venture that owns this hotel, but we exercise significant influence over it. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences from acquisition costs paid to our Advisor that we incur and other-than-temporary impairment charges, if any).

Under the conventional approach of accounting for equity method investments, an investor applies its percentage ownership interest to the venture’s net income to determine the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the venture. This approach is inappropriate if the venture’s capital structure gives different rights and priorities to its investors. We have priority returns on our equity method investment. Therefore, we follow the hypothetical liquidation at book value method in determining our share of the venture’s earnings or losses for the reporting period as this method better reflects our claim on the venture’s book value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings for our equity method investment are recognized in accordance with the related investment agreement and, where applicable, based upon the allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment was hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.

The following table sets forth our ownership interest in our equity investment in real estate and its carrying value. The carrying value of this venture is affected by the timing and nature of distributions (dollars in thousands):

The number of rooms presented includes 156 condo-hotel units that participate in the resort rental program. This investment is considered a VIE (Note 2). We do not consolidate this entity because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of the entity allows us to exercise significant influence but does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of the entity.

(c)

We received cash distributions of $0.4 million from this investment during the six months ended June 30, 2016. No cash distributions were received during the three months ended June 30, 2016. At both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the unamortized basis differences on our equity investment were $1.8 million. Net amortization of the basis differences reduced the carrying value of our equity investment by less than $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The following table sets forth our share of equity in earnings from our Unconsolidated Hotel, which is based on the hypothetical liquidation at book value model as well as amortization adjustments related to basis differentials from acquisitions of investments (in thousands):

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments, including interest rate caps and swaps; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Our derivative assets and liabilities are comprised of interest rate caps and swaps that were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market (Note 7).

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 category of measurements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

Our non-recourse and limited-recourse debt, which we have classified as Level 3, had a carrying value of $352.8 million and $207.9 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and an estimated fair value of $356.1 million and $209.4 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral and the then-current interest rate.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Note 7. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are two main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk and market risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our derivative instruments on our Consolidated Hotels (in thousands):

Derivatives Designated				Asset Derivatives Fair Value at								Liability Derivatives Fair Value at

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis in our consolidated financial statements. At both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.

We recognized unrealized losses of $0.8 million and less than $0.1 million in Other comprehensive loss on derivatives in connection with our interest rate swap and caps during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and losses of $2.1 million and less than $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We reclassified $0.2 million and $0.4 million of losses from Other comprehensive loss on derivatives into Interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. No such losses were reclassified during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015.

Amounts reported in Other comprehensive loss related to our interest rate swap and caps will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2016, we estimated that $0.8 million will be reclassified as Interest expense during the next 12 months related to our interest rate swap and caps.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners may obtain variable-rate non-recourse and limited-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap or cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The face amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. An interest rate cap limits the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

The interest rate swap and caps that we had outstanding on our Consolidated Hotels at June 30, 2016 were designated as cash flow hedges and are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): 

		Number of			Face				Fair Value at
Interest Rate Derivatives		Instruments			Amount				June 30, 2016
Interest rate caps		3			$	155,000			$	39
Interest rate swap		1			100,000				(1,766		)
									$	(1,727	)

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty were both less than $0.1 million.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At June 30, 2016, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $1.8 million at June 30, 2016, which included accrued interest and any

nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2016, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $2.0 million. We had no derivatives that were in a net liability position at December 31, 2015.

___________

(a)	These mortgage loans have variable interest rates, which have effectively been capped or converted to fixed rates through the use of interest rate caps or swaps (Note 7). The interest rate range presented for these mortgage loans reflect the rates in effect at June 30, 2016 through the use of an interest rate cap or swap, when applicable.

(b)	These mortgage loans each have a one-year extension option, which are subject to certain conditions. The maturity dates in the table do not reflect the extension options.

Most of our mortgage loan agreements contain “lock-box” provisions, which permit the lender to access or sweep a hotel’s excess cash flow and would be triggered under limited circumstances, including the failure to maintain minimum debt service coverage ratios. If a provision were triggered, we would generally be permitted to spend an amount equal to our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves for the relevant hotel. The lender would then retain all excess cash flow after the payment of debt service in an escrow account until certain performance hurdles are met.

Financing Activity During 2016

In connection with our acquisition of the Seattle Marriott Bellevue hotel, we obtained a limited-recourse mortgage loan of $100.0 million, with a floating annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.7%, which has effectively been fixed at approximately 3.9% through an interest rate swap agreement. The mortgage loan is limited-recourse up to a maximum of $15.0 million and terminates upon satisfaction of certain conditions as described in the loan agreement. The loan is interest-only for 36 months and has a maturity date of January 22, 2020. We recognized $1.1 million of deferred financing costs related to this loan.

In connection with our acquisition of the Le Méridien Arlington, we obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $35.0 million, with a floating annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.8%, which is subject to an interest rate cap. The loan is interest-only for 36 months and has a maturity date of June 28, 2020. We recognized $0.6 million of deferred financing costs related to this loan.

We drew down a total of $11.3 million on the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa mortgage loan for renovations at the hotel.

Covenants

Pursuant to our mortgage loan agreements, our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to various operational and financial covenants, including minimum debt service coverage ratios. At June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants for each of our mortgage loans.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 2016, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits may arise against us in the normal course of business, but we do not expect the results of such proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Pursuant to our advisory agreement, we are liable for certain expenses related to our initial public offering, including filing, legal, accounting, printing, advertising, transfer agent and escrow fees, which are deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. We reimburse Carey Financial and selected dealers for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred that are supported by a detailed and itemized invoice. The total underwriting compensation to Carey Financial and selected dealers in connection with the offering cannot exceed limitations prescribed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Our Advisor will be reimbursed for all organization expenses and offering costs incurred in connection with our offering (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) limited to 4% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are less than $500.0 million, 2% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are $500.0 million or more but less than $750.0 million, and 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are $750.0 million or more. Through June 30, 2016, our Advisor incurred organization and offering costs on our behalf of approximately $6.6 million, all of which we were obligated to pay. Unpaid costs of $0.5 million were included in Due to affiliates in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2016. 

Renovation Commitments

Certain of our hotel franchise and loan agreements require us to make planned renovations to our hotels (Note 4). We do not currently expect to, and are not obligated to, fund any planned renovations on our Unconsolidated Hotels beyond our original investment.

At June 30, 2016, three hotels were either undergoing renovation or in the planning stage of renovations, and we currently expect that one will be completed during the second half of 2016 and two will be completed during the first half of 2017. The following table summarizes our capital commitments related to our Consolidated Hotels (in thousands):

Share-Based Payments

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

We maintain the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of shares of our common stock to our officers and officers and employees of the Subadvisor, who perform services on our behalf, and to non-director members of the investment committee through stock-based awards. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of RSUs and dividend equivalent rights. A maximum of 2,000,000 shares may be granted under this plan, of which 1,904,990 shares remained available for future grants at June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we granted 42,260 RSUs and 30,250 RSUs, respectively, all of which were awarded in the second quarter of the year to employees of the Subadvisor and are scheduled to vest over approximately three years, subject to continued employment.

Shares Granted to Directors

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we issued 10,000 shares and 12,500 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock to our independent directors, at $10.53 and $10.00 per share, respectively, as part of their director compensation.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the awards of RSUs to employees of the Subadvisor and shares issued to our directors totaling $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included within Corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

The awards to employees of the Subadvisor had a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 2.5 years at June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, we had 62,427 nonvested RSUs outstanding, and we currently expect to recognize stock-based compensation expense totaling approximately $0.2 million over the remaining vesting period. We have not recognized any income tax benefit in earnings for our share-based compensation arrangements since the inception of this plan.

Distributions

During the second quarter of 2016, our board of directors declared per share distributions at a rate of $0.0018070 and $0.0015177 per day for our Class A and Class T common stock, respectively. The distributions are comprised of $0.0015178 and $0.0012285 payable in cash, respectively, and $0.0002892 and $0.0002892 payable in shares of our Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, to stockholders of record on each day of the quarter and were paid on July 15, 2016 in the aggregate amount of $5.6 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our board of directors declared distributions of $9.5 million, including distributions of $3.9 million declared during the three months ended March 31, 2016. We paid distributions of $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016, comprised of distributions declared during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended December 31, 2015 of $3.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Note 11. Subsequent Event

On July 13, 2016, we acquired a 100% interest in the San Jose Marriott, from an unaffiliated third party for a contractual purchase price of $154.0 million and obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $88.0 million. The 510-room full-service hotel is located in San Jose, California. The hotel will continue to be managed by Marriott International, Inc.

On July 21, 2016, we acquired a 100% interest in the San Diego Marriott La Jolla, from an unaffiliated third party for a contractual purchase price of $137.0 million and obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $85.0 million. The 372-room full-service hotel is located in La Jolla, California. The hotel will continue to be managed by HEI Hotels & Resorts.

It was not practicable to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocations or consolidated pro forma financial information for these acquisitions given the short period of time between the acquisition dates and the issuance of this Report.

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Report.

Business Overview

As described in more detail in Item 1 of the 2015 Annual Report, we are a publicly-owned, non-listed REIT formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning, disposing of and, through our Advisor, managing and seeking to enhance the value of interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. At June 30, 2016, we held ownership interests in six hotels, with a total of 2,102 rooms.

As of June 30, 2016, we have raised a total of $470.3 million through our initial public offering, exclusive of DRIP. We intend to invest our proceeds in a diversified lodging portfolio, inclusive of full-service, select-service and resort hotels. While our core strategy is focused on the lodging industry, we may also invest in other real estate property sectors. Our results of operations are significantly impacted by seasonality, acquisition-related expenses and by hotel renovations. We may invest in hotels that then undergo significant renovations. Generally, during the renovation period, a portion of total rooms are unavailable and hotel operations are often disrupted, negatively impacting our results of operations.

Significant Developments

Public Offering

On February 9, 2015, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-196681), covering an initial public offering of up to $1.4 billion of Class A shares, was declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement also covered the offering of up to $600.0 million of Class A shares under the DRIP. On April 1, 2015, we filed an amended Registration Statement to include Class T shares in our initial public offering and under our DRIP, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2015, allowing for the sales of Class A and Class T shares, in any combination, of up to $1.4 billion in the initial public offering and up to $600.0 million through our DRIP. Our initial public offering is being offered on a “best efforts” basis by Carey Financial and other selected dealers. Through July 31, 2016, we raised gross offering proceeds for our Class A common stock and Class T common stock of $189.1 million and $300.3 million, respectively. We currently intend to sell shares through our initial public offering until March 31, 2017.

We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to continue to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of interests in lodging and lodging-related properties.

Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we acquired ownership interests in two Consolidated Hotels, with real estate and other hotel assets, net of assumed liabilities and noncontrolling interest, totaling $230.8 million (Note 4).

Financings

In connection with our 2016 Acquisitions (Note 4), we obtained non-recourse and limited-recourse mortgage financing totaling $135.0 million, with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 3.7% and term of 4.0 years (Note 8).

On January 20, 2016, we borrowed $20.0 million from WPC at LIBOR plus 1.1% with a maturity date of February 17, 2016, which we used to fund, in part, the acquisition of the Seattle Marriott Bellevue (Note 3). This loan was repaid in full on February 10, 2016 using proceeds from our initial public offering.

We drew down a total of $11.3 million on the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa mortgage loan for renovations at the hotel.

___________

(a)

We consider the performance metrics listed above, including funds used in operations, or FFO; and modified funds from operations, or MFFO, which are supplemental measures that are not defined by GAAP, or non-GAAP measures, to be important measures in the evaluation of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on the ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objective of funding distributions to stockholders. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The comparison of our results period over period is influenced by both the number and size of the hotels consolidated in each of the respective years. We began operations in May 2014 and did not acquire our first hotel until April 2015. At June 30, 2016, we owned five Consolidated Hotels, two of which were acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2015, we owned two Consolidated Hotels, both of which were acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Portfolio Overview

Summarized Acquisition Data

The following table sets forth acquisition data and therefore excludes subsequent improvements and capitalized costs for our five Consolidated Hotels and one Unconsolidated Hotel. Amounts for our initial investment for our Consolidated Hotels represent the fair value of net assets acquired less the fair value of noncontrolling interests, exclusive of acquisition expenses and the fair value of any debt assumed, at the time of acquisition. Amounts for our initial investment for our Unconsolidated Hotels represent purchase price plus capitalized costs, inclusive of fees paid to our Advisor, at the time of acquisition (dollars in thousands).

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on our ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and increasing the value in our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation.

In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature to evaluate the operating performance of our business, including statistical information, such as occupancy rate, average daily rate, or ADR, and revenue per available room, or RevPAR. Occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as the product of ADR and occupancy rate, is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at our hotels. Our occupancy rate, ADR and RevPAR performance may be impacted by macroeconomic factors such as U.S. economic conditions, changes in regional and local labor markets, personal income and corporate earnings, business relocation decisions, business and leisure travel, new hotel construction and the pricing strategies of competitors.

We acquired our first hotel during the second quarter of 2015 and therefore our results are not comparable period over period. Additionally, the comparability of our results period over period are significantly impacted by acquisition-related costs and fees, which are material one-time costs that are expensed as incurred, as well as the timing of renovation activity. We may invest in hotels that then undergo significant renovations. Generally, during the renovation period a portion of total rooms are unavailable and hotel operations are often disrupted, negatively impacting our results of operations. We intend to utilize the capital from our initial public offering and mortgage and other indebtedness to fund our acquisitions, and in some instances, our renovations.

Acquisition-Related Expenses

We immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with acquisitions of our Consolidated Hotels that are accounted for as business combinations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015, acquisition-related expenses decreased by $5.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, primarily reflecting a decrease in investment volume during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

CWI 2 6/30/2016 10-Q – 28

---

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015, corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in professional fees and reimbursements to our Advisor for the cost of personnel and overhead expenses. Professional fees, which include legal, accounting and investor-related expenses incurred in the normal course of business, increased primarily as a result of an increase in the size of our hotel portfolio due to our 2015 and 2016 Acquisitions.

Asset Management Fees to Affiliate and Other

Asset management fees to affiliate and other primarily represent fees paid to our Advisor. We pay our Advisor an annual asset management fee equal to 0.55% of the aggregate Average Market Value of our Investments, as defined in our advisory agreement with our Advisor (Note 3).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015, asset management fees to affiliate and other increased by $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, reflecting the impact of our 2015 and 2016 Acquisitions, which increased the asset base from which our Advisor earns a fee. We settled all asset management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 in shares of our Class A common stock at the request of our Advisor.

Interest Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015, interest expense increased by $2.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, primarily as a result of mortgage financing obtained in connection with our 2015 and 2016 Acquisitions.

Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investment in Real Estate

Equity in earnings of equity method investment in real estate represents earnings from our equity investment in an Unconsolidated Hotel recognized in accordance with the investment agreement and is based upon the allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period (Note 5). We are required to periodically compare an investment’s carrying value to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value and is determined to be other than temporary.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015, equity in earnings on the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Venture increased by $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. We acquired our interest in this venture on May 29, 2015.

Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The following table sets forth our income attributable to noncontrolling interest (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,

___________

(a)	We purchased our 50% interest in this venture on April 1, 2015.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CWI 2 Stockholders

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the resulting net income attributable to CWI 2 stockholders was $0.5 million, as compared to net loss attributable to CWI 2 stockholders of $6.3 million for the same period in 2015.

CWI 2 6/30/2016 10-Q – 29

---

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the resulting net loss attributable to CWI stockholders decreased by $3.5 million as compared to the prior year period.

Modified Funds from Operations

MFFO is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate our business. For a definition of MFFO and a reconciliation to net loss attributable to CWI 2 stockholders, see Supplemental Financial Measures below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015, MFFO increased by $4.6 million and $9.3 million, respectively, primarily reflecting operating results from our 2015 and 2016 investment activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of lodging properties and the payment of acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, interest and principal on current and future indebtedness, and distributions to stockholders. We currently expect that, for the short-term, the aforementioned cash requirements will be funded by our cash on hand, financings and the capital we raise in our initial public offering.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through existing cash and escrow balances and cash flow generated from our hotels. We may also use short-term borrowings from our Advisor or its affiliates to fund acquisitions, at our Advisor’s discretion, as described below in Cash Resources. In addition, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of real estate, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property or reinvest the proceeds of financings or refinancings in additional properties. We expect that cash flow from operations will be negatively impacted while we are acquiring hotels and undertaking renovations due to acquisition-related costs, renovation disruption and other administrative costs related to our regulatory reporting requirements specific to each acquisition. Once the proceeds from our initial public offering are fully invested and initial renovations are completed, we believe that our hotels will generate positive cash flow. However, until that occurs, it may be necessary to use offering proceeds to fund a portion of our operating activities and distributions. Over time, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, including funding additional hotel property acquisitions, through cash flow from our hotel portfolio and long-term borrowings.

We have raised aggregate gross proceeds in our initial public offering of approximately $489.4 million through July 31, 2016 detailed as follows (in thousands):

		Funds Raised
Period		Class A				Class T				Total
From Inception to June 30, 2015 (a)		$	7,980			$	8,983			$	16,963
Q3 2015 (a)		32,849				42,646				75,495
Q4 2015 (a)		64,916				89,601				154,517

		$	189,088			$	300,331			$	489,419

_________

(a)	The initial offering prices were $10.00 and $9.45 per share for our Class A and Class T shares of common stock, respectively.

(b)	We published our initial NAVs in March 2016 and subsequently adjusted our offering prices to $11.70 and $11.05 per share for our Class A and Class T shares of common stock, respectively.

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

We expect to use the cash flow generated from hotel operations to meet our normal recurring operating expenses and service debt. Our cash flows fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors, including the level of sales of our shares through our initial public offering, the financial and operating performance of our hotels, the timing of purchases of hotels, the timing and characterization of distributions from equity method investments in hotels and seasonality in the demand for our hotels. Also, hotels we invest in may undergo renovations, during which they may experience disruptions, possibly resulting in reduced revenue and operating income. Despite these fluctuations, we believe that, as we continue to invest the proceeds from

CWI 2 6/30/2016 10-Q – 30

---

our offering, we will generate sufficient cash from operations and from our equity method investment to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.5 million, as compared to $3.8 million net cash used in operating activities for the same period in 2015. The net cash inflow during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period primarily resulted from net cash flow from hotel operations generated by our 2015 and 2016 Acquisitions, which more than offset acquisition-related expenses and other operating costs.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we used cash totaling $234.8 million for our 2016 Acquisitions (Note 4) and funded $8.4 million of capital expenditures for our Consolidated Hotels. We placed funds into and released funds from lender-held escrow accounts totaling $35.9 million and $22.6 million, respectively, for renovations, property taxes and insurance and placed and released deposits for hotel investments totaling $12.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $351.3 million, primarily as a result of (i) $212.5 million in funds raised through the issuance of shares of our common stock in our initial public offering, net of issuance costs, (ii) mortgage financing obtained in connection with our 2016 Acquisitions of $135.0 million, (iii) an $11.3 million total drawdown on the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa mortgage loan for renovations and (iv) contributions received from noncontrolling interests totaling $4.0 million, representing the noncontrolling interest in the Seattle Marriott Bellevue. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we also received proceeds from a note payable to WPC of $20.0 million that was used to fund the equity portion of the acquisition of Seattle Marriott Bellevue (Note 3), which was repaid in full using offering proceeds during the period.

The inflows were partially offset by cash distributions paid to stockholders of $5.8 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests totaling $2.2 million, deposits placed for mortgage financing of $1.8 million and deferred financing costs of $1.6 million.

 

Distributions

Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions and to seek investments with potential for capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we paid distributions to stockholders, excluding distributions paid in shares of our common stock, of $5.8 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $2.2 million and distributions that were reinvested in shares of our common stock by stockholders through our DRIP of $3.6 million. From Inception through June 30, 2016, we declared distributions, excluding distributions paid in shares of our common stock, to stockholders of $11.9 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $4.4 million and distributions that were reinvested in shares of our common stock by stockholders through our DRIP of $7.5 million.

We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is the most appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below. Over the life of our company, the regular quarterly cash distributions we pay are expected to be principally sourced from our FFO or our Cash flow from operations. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO or our Cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. FFO and Cash flow from operations are first applied to current period distributions, then to any deficit from prior period cumulative negative FFO and prior period cumulative negative cash flow, respectively, and finally to future period distributions. Our distribution coverage using FFO was approximately 46% and 41% of total distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and on a cumulative basis through that date, respectively, with the balance funded with proceeds from our initial public offering.  Our distribution coverage using Cash flow from operations was approximately 85% and 72% of total distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and on a cumulative basis through that date, respectively, with the balance funded with proceeds from our offering.  Until we have fully invested the proceeds of our offering, we expect that in the future, if distributions cannot be fully sourced from FFO or Cash flow from operations, they may be sourced from the proceeds of financings or the sales of assets with any remainder to be funded by the uninvested proceeds from our offering.

Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we redeemed 2,992 shares and 405 shares of our Class A and Class T common stock, respectively, pursuant to our redemption plan, both at an average price per share of $10.00. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we received one redemption request for Class A common stock and one redemption request for Class T common stock, which were satisfied during that period. We have fulfilled 100% of the valid redemption requests that we received during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We funded all share redemptions during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from the proceeds of the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.

Summary of Financing

The table below summarizes our non-recourse and limited-recourse debt, net (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015

Variable rate (b)	3.9		%		3.8		%

_________

(a)	In accordance with ASU 2015-03, we reclassified deferred financing costs from Other assets to Non-recourse and limited-recourse debt, net as of December 31, 2015 (Note 2). Aggregate debt balance includes deferred financing costs totaling $2.2 million and $0.8 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

(b)	The impact of our derivative instruments are reflected in the weighted-average interest rates.

Cash Resources

At June 30, 2016, our cash resources consisted of cash totaling $151.3 million, of which $7.2 million was designated as hotel operating cash. Our cash resources may be used to fund future investments and can be used for working capital needs, debt service and other commitments, such as renovation commitments as noted below.

We are able to borrow up to $110.0 million, in the aggregate, from WPC, at the sole discretion of the management of WPC, for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions approved by our investment committee (Note 3). We did not have any such borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Cash Requirements

During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include payments to acquire new investments, paying distributions to our stockholders, reimbursing our Advisor for costs incurred on our behalf, fulfilling our renovation commitments (Note 9), funding lease commitments, making scheduled debt service payments on our mortgage loans and any borrowings from WPC, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses.

CWI 2 6/30/2016 10-Q – 32

---

We expect to use proceeds from our initial public offering as well as cash generated from operations and mortgage financing to fund these cash requirements, in addition to amounts held in escrow to fund our renovation commitments.

Liquidity is affected adversely by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or, for acquisitions, through short-term borrowings from WPC.

Supplemental Financial Measures

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO and MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures defined by our management. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO and MFFO, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are provided below.

FFO and MFFO

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to nor a substitute for net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments.

CWI 2 6/30/2016 10-Q – 33

---

Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the hypothetical liquidation at book value method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist. For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. It should be noted, however, the property’s asset group’s estimated fair value is primarily determined using market information from outside sources such as broker quotes or recent comparable sales. In cases where the available market information is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis discounted for inherent risk associated with each asset to determine an estimated fair value. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO described above, due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO and MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect in 2009. These changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly-registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets or another similar transaction) not later than six years following the conclusion of our initial public offering. Thus, we intend to have a limited life. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the Investment Program Association has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO consistent with the Investment Program Association’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the Investment Program Association in November 2010. This Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; where applicable, payments of loan principal made by our equity investees accounted for under the hypothetical liquidation model where such payments reduce our equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate, nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for Consolidated and Unconsolidated Hotels, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the Investment Program Association’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition-related expenses, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. We account for certain of our equity investments using the hypothetical liquidation model which is based on distributable cash as defined in the operating agreement.

CWI 2 6/30/2016 10-Q – 35

---

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs, which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO and MFFO accordingly.

(a)

In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

We currently have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We currently have no foreign operations and are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. At June 30, 2016, we held ownership interests in five Consolidated Hotels and one Unconsolidated Hotel, and operate in the states of Colorado, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington. Four of our hotels are operated under the Marriott brand, one under the Starwood brand and one under the Hilton brand. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 for each hotel’s revenues and expenses.

Interest Rate Risk

The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have attempted to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate mortgage loans, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with lenders. Interest rate swap agreements effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, while interest rate cap agreements limit the underlying interest rate from exceeding a specified strike rate. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flows over a specific period, and interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are derivative instruments that, where applicable, are designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. The face amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not exchanged. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

At June 30, 2016, we estimated that the total fair value of our interest rate swap and caps, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other and Other assets, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements, was in a net liability position of $1.7 million (Note 7).

At June 30, 2016, all of our long-term debt bore interest at fixed rates or was subject to an interest rate cap or swap. The annual interest rate on our fixed debt at June 30, 2016 was 3.9%. The contractual annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at June 30, 2016 ranged from 3.2% to 4.3%. Our debt obligations are more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows for our Consolidated Hotels based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2016 and excludes deferred financing costs (in thousands):

	2016 (Remainder)				2017				2018				2019				2020				Thereafter				Total				Fair Value
Fixed-rate debt	$	—			$	—			$	—			$	1,792			$	1,863			$	96,345			$	100,000			$	100,319
Variable-rate debt	$	—			$	640			$	960			$	120,665			$	132,735			$	—			$	255,000			$	255,799

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of an interest rate swap, or that has been subject to an interest rate cap, is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at June 30, 2016 by an aggregate increase of $9.6 million or an aggregate decrease of $13.6 million, respectively.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we issued 79,650 shares of Class A common stock, at our most recently published NAV per share of $10.53 per share, to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. From Inception and through June 30, 2016, we have issued a total of 221,733 shares of our Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were either issued at our most recently published NAV per share of $10.53 per share or, prior to the initial NAV being published, $10.00 per share, which is the price at which our shares of our Class A common stock were sold in our initial public offering prior to the NAV being published.

Use of Offering Proceeds

Our Registration Statement (File No. 333-196681) for our initial public offering was initially declared effective by the SEC on February 9, 2015 with respect to our Class A shares. On April 1, 2015, we filed an amended registration statement to include Class T shares in our initial public offering, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2015. The initial offering prices were $10.00 and $9.45 per share for our Class A and Class T shares of common stock, respectively. We published NAVs for each share class in March 2016 and subsequently adjusted our offering prices to $11.70 and $11.05 per share for our Class A and Class T shares of common stock, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, the cumulative use of proceeds from our initial public offering was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Common Stock
	Class A				Class T				Total
Shares registered (a)	47,863,248				76,018,100				123,881,348
