Item
2.06 Material Impairments.
Supertel
Hospitality, Inc. announced on March 8, 2010 that its 2009 results will be
impacted by substantial non-cash impairment charges of approximately $24.1
million. As a result of management’s decision in the fourth quarter
to sell an additional 18 hotels, the company recorded impairment charges of
approximately $12.4 million on 12 of these hotels. Further, the
company recorded impairment charges of approximately $10.9 million for six
hotels where the expected period to be held was reduced from approximately 10
years to three years. The non-cash impairment charge represents the
excess of book value of the 18 hotels over their estimated fair
value. Through the 2009 third quarter, the company had announced
non-cash impairment charges of approximately $843,000.
The
company’s conclusion to recognize the non-cash impairment charges reflects
management’s strategy to re-evaluate its hotels and the length of period the
company anticipates holding its properties based on new
and more stringent criteria, including a strategic review of debt
service capability, estimated return on investment, and local market
conditions. As of December 31, 2009, following the re-evaluation,
Supertel has 19 hotels classified as held for sale and listed in discontinued
operations. At September 30, 2009, Supertel had three hotels classified as held
for sale. In the 2009 fourth quarter, two of these hotels were sold
and an additional 18 were classified as held for sale. The company
plans to announce its fourth quarter and full-year 2009 earnings later in
March.
