1. Organization

Moody National REIT I, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on January 15, 2008, as a Maryland corporation and has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company was organized to acquire a diverse portfolio of real properties, primarily in the hospitality sector, as well as other commercial properties, real estate securities and debt-related investments. As discussed in Note 6, the Company was initially capitalized with the sale of shares of its common stock to Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) on February 19, 2008. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

On May 2, 2008, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of its common stock to the public in its primary offering and up to $100,000,000 in shares of its common stock to its stockholders pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”). On April 15, 2009, the SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective and the Company commenced its initial public offering. The Company offered shares to the public in its primary offering at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain purchasers, and to its stockholders pursuant to the DRIP at a price of $9.50 per share. On October 12, 2012, the Company terminated its initial public offering and commenced its follow-on public offering (discussed below).  As of October 12, 2012, the Company had accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 1,126,253 shares of its common stock in its initial public offering, including 29,582 shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in offering proceeds of $10,966,713.

On February 14, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register a following-on public offering of up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock. In the follow-on offering the Company is offering up to $900,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock to the public and up to $100,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock to its stockholders pursuant to the DRIP. On October 12, 2012, the follow-on offering was declared effective by the SEC and the Company terminated its initial public offering and commenced the follow-on offering. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 1,782,024 shares of common stock in the Company’s initial public offering and follow-on offering, including 43,708 shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in aggregate offering proceeds of $17,383,161.

The Company is offering shares to the public in the follow-on offering at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain purchasers, and to its stockholders pursuant to the DRIP at a price of $9.50 per share. The Company’s board of directors may change the price at which the Company offers shares to the public in the follow-on offering from time to time during the follow-on offering, but not more frequently than quarterly, to reflect changes in the Company’s estimated per-share net asset value and other factors the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.

The Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from its public offerings to acquire a diversified portfolio of real properties, real estate securities and debt-related investments. The Company’s real property will consist primarily of hotel properties located in the United States and Canada that it owns exclusively or in joint ventures or other co-ownership arrangements with other persons. The Company may also invest in other property types consisting of multifamily, office, retail and industrial assets located in the United States and Canada as well as securities of real estate companies and debt-related investments. The Company may also make opportunistic investments in properties that may be under-developed or newly constructed and in properties that it believes are undervalued.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s portfolio consisted of (1) a 74.5% joint venture interest in a mortgage note (the “Hyatt Place Note”) secured by a hotel property located in Grapevine, Texas, commonly known as the Hyatt Place Grapevine hotel (the “Hyatt Place Property”) and (2) a 91-suite hotel property located in The Woodlands, Texas, commonly known as the Homewood Suites by Hilton - Woodlands (the “Woodlands Property”).  The Company began operations on May 27, 2010 with the acquisition of a 75% joint venture interest in a hotel property located in Atlanta, Georgia commonly known as the Residence Inn by Marriot Perimeter Center (the “Residence Inn Property”).  The Company sold the Residence Inn Property to a third-party buyer on August 23, 2012.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

(unaudited)
 
The Company’s advisor is Moody National Advisor I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Advisor”) and an affiliate of Sponsor. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company pursuant to an amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) by and among the Company, Moody National Operating Partnership I, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “OP”), and Advisor.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through the OP. The Company is the sole general partner of the OP. The initial limited partners of the OP are Moody National LPOP I, LLC (“Moody LPOP”) and Moody OP Holdings I, LLC (“Moody Holdings”), each an affiliate of the Sponsor. Moody LPOP invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for common units and Moody Holdings invested $1,000 in the OP in exchange for a separate class of limited partnership units (the “Special Units”). As the Company accepts subscriptions for shares of its common stock, it transfers substantially all of the net proceeds of its public offering to the OP as a capital contribution.

The OP’s partnership agreement provides that the OP will be operated in a manner that will enable the Company to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability and (3) ensure that the OP will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), which classification could result in the OP being taxed as a corporation rather than as a partnership. In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by the OP in acquiring and operating real estate assets, the OP will pay all of the Company’s administrative costs and expenses, and such expenses will be treated as expenses of the OP. The common units of the OP may be tendered for redemption once they have been outstanding for at least one year. At such time, the Company has the option to redeem the common units for shares of the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination thereof at the Company’s sole discretion. The Special Units will be redeemed pursuant to the OP’s partnership agreement upon the termination or nonrenewal of the Advisory Agreement or upon certain other events outside of the control of the Special Unit holder. Upon the termination or nonrenewal of the Advisory Agreement by the Company for “cause” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) all of the Special Units will be redeemed for $1.00. As described in more detail in Note 8, upon the occurrence of any of the events outside of the control of the Special Unit holder which trigger redemption of the Special Units, the Special Units will be redeemed, at the Advisor’s option, for shares of the Company’s common stock, a non-interest bearing promissory note payable solely from the proceeds of assets sales, or a combination thereof.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company presents its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”).  The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include its accounts and the accounts of its subsidiaries over which it has control. All intercompany profits, balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

(unaudited)
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its consolidated subsidiaries when the Company is the primary beneficiary for entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) through which the Company has a controlling interest. Interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on GAAP, which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which the Company is deemed to have the controlling financial interest. The Company has the controlling financial interest if the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the Company.  If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which the Company has control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.  The Company did not have a VIE interest as of March 31, 2013.

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which the Company has an investment is a VIE.  The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, determining if the equity investors as a group have a controlling financial interest in the entity and if the entity has sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. For further information, readers should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2013.

Use of Estimates

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

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization and offering costs of the Company are incurred by Advisor on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs incurred by Advisor associated with each of the Company’s public offerings, provided that within 60 days of the last day of the month in which a public offering ends, Advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent organization and offering costs incurred by the Company in connection with the completed public offering exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock in the completed  public offering. Such organization and offering costs shall include selling commissions and dealer manager fees paid to the dealer manager, legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of Advisor’s employees and employees of Advisor’s affiliates and others. Any reimbursement of Advisor or its affiliates for organization and offering costs will not exceed actual expenses incurred by Advisor.

All offering costs, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in-capital, and all organization costs are recorded as an expense when the Company has an obligation to reimburse Advisor.

As of March 31, 2013, total offering costs were $4,132,374 for the initial public offering and $1,439,070 for the follow-on offering.

Income Taxes

The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. Prior to qualifying to be taxed as a REIT, the Company was subject to normal federal and state corporation income taxes. The Company previously determined not to make an election to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code because it had a net operating loss for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and had fewer than 100 stockholders as of December 31, 2009 and 2010.

As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, so long as it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operations requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The Company leases the hotels it acquires to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries that are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company records a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized.

The Company has reviewed tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarifies the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination.  The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2013.

The preparation of the Company’s various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes.  These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities.  A revision to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest.  At this time, a range in which the Company’s estimates may change is not expected to be material.  The Company will account for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax provisions in the current period results of operations, if necessary.  The Company has tax years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 remaining subject to examination by various federal and state tax jurisdictions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. The Company diversifies its cash and cash equivalents with several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these institutions. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk with respect to its joint venture interest in the Hyatt Place Note.  As a significant investment of the Company, the failure of the borrower on the Hyatt Place Note to make payments of interest and principal when due, or any other event of default under the Hyatt Place Note, would have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Valuation and Allocation of Real Property — Acquisition

Upon acquisition, the purchase price of real property is allocated to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land, buildings and tenant improvements, any assumed debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations based on their fair values. Identified intangible assets consist of above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases, in-place contracts, tenant relationships and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Acquisition costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Initial valuations are subject to change during the measurement period, but the measurement period ends as soon as the information is available.  The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The fair value of the tangible assets acquired consists of land, buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Land values are derived from appraisals, and buildings are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or the Company’s estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods.  The value of the building is depreciated over the estimated useful life of thirty-nine years using the straight-line method.  The value of furniture, fixtures and equipment is based on their fair value using replacement costs less depreciation.

The Company determines the fair value of assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that the Company believes the Company could obtain. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan as interest expense.

In allocating the purchase price of each of the Company’s properties, the Company makes assumptions and uses various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets, discount rates used to determine present values, market rental rates per square foot and the period required to lease the property up to its occupancy at acquisition as if it were vacant. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third party appraisals. However, the Company is responsible for the source and use of these estimates. These estimates are judgmental and subject to being imprecise; accordingly, if different estimates and assumptions were derived, the valuation of the various categories of the Company’s real estate assets or related intangibles could in turn result in a difference in the depreciation or amortization expense recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These variances could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Valuation and Allocation of Real Property — Ownership

Depreciation or amortization expenses are computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods based upon the following estimated useful lives:
 
   
Years
 
Buildings and improvements
    39  
Exterior improvements
    10-20  
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
    5-10

Impairments

For real estate the Company owns, the Company monitors events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value for assets held for use and fair value less costs to sell for assets held for sale.  There were no such impairment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

In evaluating the Company’s investments for impairment, the Company makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during the Company’s ownership and the projected sales price of each of the properties. A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in a change in the estimated fair value of the Company’s hotel properties which could then result in an impairment which could result in a material change to the Company’s financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition

Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage, and other ancillary revenues, are recognized as the related services are delivered. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible.  Interest income is recognized when earned.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand or held in banks and short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service and insurance, as well as reserves for property improvements and furniture, fixtures, and equipment, as required by certain management or mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions. Restricted cash also includes cash collateral deposited with a bank related to a loan that may be used by the Company toward the payments of principal and interest of the loan and any other amounts due under the loan in the event of default.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable

The Company takes into consideration certain factors that require judgments to be made as to the collectability of receivables. Collectability factors taken into consideration are the amounts outstanding, payment history and financial strength of the customer, which taken as a whole determines the valuation.

Mortgage Note Receivable

The Company provides first-mortgage financing in the form of a note receivable. The loan is held for investment and is intended to be held to maturity and accordingly, is recorded at cost and net of the allowance for losses when a loan is deemed to be impaired.  Premiums, discounts, and net origination fees are amortized or accreted as an adjustment to interest income using the effective interest method over the life of the loan. The Company discontinues recording interest and amortizing discounts/premiums when the contractual payment of interest and/or principal is not received.
 
Impairment of Note Receivable

The Company reviews the note receivable for impairment in each reporting period pursuant to the applicable authoritative accounting guidance. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts recorded as assets on the balance sheet. The Company applies normal loan review and underwriting procedures (as may be implemented or modified from time to time) in making that judgment.

When a loan is impaired, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate against the value of the asset recorded on the balance sheet. The Company may also measure impairment based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If a loan is deemed to be impaired, the Company records a valuation allowance through a charge to earnings for any shortfall. The Company’s assessment of impairment is based on considerable judgment and estimates. The Company did not record a valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
 
Prepaid expenses include prepaid property insurance.  Other assets include a receivable from a third-party property management company. See Note 10.

Deferred Costs
 
Deferred loan costs consist of deferred financing fees and franchise costs which are recorded at cost and are amortized to interest expense using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt.  The franchise costs are recorded at cost and amortized over the term of the franchise contract. Accumulated amortization of deferred costs was $29,348 and $20,564 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Expected future amortization of deferred financing fees and franchise costs is as follows:

Earnings per Share
 
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.  Basic and diluted EPS are the same for all periods presented.  Non-vested shares of restricted stock, totaling 5,000 and 2,500 shares as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, held by the Company’s independent directors are included in the calculation of earnings per share because the effect is dilutive.  Restricted stock was included in primary earnings per share because the restricted stock participates in dividends.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new unimplemented accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operation, financial position of cash flows.

Hyatt Place Note

On June 3, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), and effective as of May 5, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the Company acquired a joint venture interest in the Hyatt Place Note pursuant to the transaction described below.  The Hyatt Place Note was issued by Moody National HP Grapevine Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), in favor of Patriot Bank, a Texas banking association (the “Patriot Bank”), and is secured by a lien on the Hyatt Place Property. As of the Closing Date, the Hyatt Place Note had an outstanding principal balance of $12,759,199.

On the Closing Date, the OP, Moody National Mortgage Corporation (“Moody National Mortgage”), an affiliate of the Sponsor controlled by Brett C. Moody, and certain of the holders of ownership interests in the Trust (collectively, the “Trust Members,” and, together with the OP and Moody National Mortgage, the “Members”), entered into the limited liability company agreement (the “Note Joint Venture Agreement”) of MNHP Note Holder, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Note Joint Venture”).  On the Closing Date, the Note Joint Venture acquired the Hyatt Place Note from Patriot Bank for an aggregate purchase price of $12,759,199, exclusive of closing costs. The Note Joint Venture financed the payment of the purchase price for the Hyatt Place Note with (1) a capital contribution to the Note Joint Venture from the OP and the Trust Members, and (2) the proceeds of a loan from Patriot Bank evidenced by a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $11,483,280 (the “Acquisition Note”).  For additional information on the terms of the Acquisition Note, see Note 5. As of March 31, 2013, the OP’s membership interest in the Note Joint Venture was 74.5%, the Trust Members’ membership interest in the Note Joint Venture was 11.5% and Moody National Mortgage’s membership interest in the Note Joint Venture was 14%.

On the Closing Date and effective as of the Effective Date, the Note Joint Venture and the Trust entered into a Renewal, Extension and Modification Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Hyatt Place Note and amended the terms of the Hyatt Place Note. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Hyatt Place Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due and payable in full on February 1, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). The Hyatt Place Note accrued interest at a fixed rate of 5.15% per annum from the Closing Date through August 21, 2012 (the “First Change Date”). For the period from the First Change Date through August 21, 2015 (the “Second Change Date”), the Hyatt Place Note will accrue interest at 5.15%, which is a fixed rate equal to (a) the variable interest rate per annum published in The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” for the U.S. (the “Prime Rate”) in effect as of the First Change Date, plus (b) 1.90%. For the period from the Second Change Date through the Maturity Date, the Hyatt Place Note will accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to (a) the Prime Rate in effect as of the Second Change Date, plus (b) 1.90%, provided that in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law.  The Prime Rate at March 31, 2013 was 3.25%.  The Trust may prepay the Hyatt Place Note, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.

The Trust’s obligations under the Hyatt Place Note are secured by, among other things, (1) a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Financing Statement by the Trust for the benefit of Patriot Bank (the “Deed of Trust”) with respect to the Hyatt Place Property and (2) an Assignment of Rents by the Trust for the benefit of Patriot Bank (the “Assignment of Rents”) with respect to the Hyatt Place Property. On the Closing Date and effective as of the Effective Date, the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of Rents, the Hyatt Place Note and all other loan documents related to the Hyatt Place Note were assigned from Patriot Bank to the Note Joint Venture pursuant to an Assignment of Note and Liens by and between the Patriot Bank and the Note Joint Venture.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s note receivable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31 2012 was $12,417,439 and $12,468,400, respectively.  The fair value of the note receivable was estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the respective reporting dates. The discounted cash flow method of assessing fair value results in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

5. Debt

The Company’s aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, are reviewed by the Company’s board of directors at least quarterly.  Under the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (as amended, the “Charter”), the Company is prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of the Company’s net assets. “Net assets” for purposes of this calculation is defined to be the Company’s total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of the Company’s assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, the Company may temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in the Company’s next quarterly report, along with an explanation for such excess.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s debt levels did not exceed 300% of the value of the Company’s net assets.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s notes payable consisted of the following:

The estimated fair value of the Company’s notes payable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $17,791,404 and $17,904,671, respectively.  The fair value of notes payable was estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the respective reporting dates. The discounted cash flow method of assessing fair value results in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

Residence Inn Loan

In connection with the acquisition of the Residence Inn Property described in Note 3, on May 27, 2010, RI Perimeter Holding and Moody National RI Perimeter Master Tenant, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Residence Inn TRS (the “Residence Inn Master Tenant,” and together with RI Perimeter Holding, the “Borrowers”), entered into a modification on the existing indebtedness on the Residence Inn Property in the form of a secured loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Property Loan”) from Citicorp North America, Inc.

The promissory note was repaid in full on May 27, 2012.

Acquisition Note

In connection with the acquisition of the Hyatt Place Note, on the Closing Date and effective as of the Effective Date, the Note Joint Venture borrowed $11,483,280 from Patriot Bank pursuant to the Acquisition Note and the Commercial Loan Agreement by and among Patriot Bank, the Note Joint Venture, Moody National Mortgage, Moody National Management, Moody National Realty Company, L.P. (“Moody National Realty”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, and Brett C. Moody (the “Loan Agreement”).

The Acquisition Note requires monthly installment payments of principal and interest of $54,704 with the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon due and payable in full on May 5, 2018 (the “Acquisition Note Maturity Date”). The Acquisition Note accrued interest at a fixed rate of 3.00% per annum through August 21, 2012 (the “First Acquisition Change Date”). For the period from the First Acquisition Change Date through August 21, 2015 (the “Second Acquisition Change Date”), the Acquisition Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.00% which is equal to (a) the Prime Rate in effect as of the First Acquisition Change Date, minus (b) 0.25%, provided that in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. For the period from the Second Acquisition Change Date through the Acquisition Note Maturity Date, the Acquisition Note will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to (a) the Prime Rate in effect as of the Second Acquisition Change Date, minus (b) 0.25%, provided that in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of any event of default under the Loan Agreement, the unpaid principal balance of the Acquisition Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. Patriot Bank may collect a late fee in the amount of 5.0% of any installment of principal and interest due under the Acquisition Note that is more than ten days past due. The Acquisition Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.  Principal payments of $244,515, $336,354, $346,729, $356,576, $368,422 and $9,269,314 are due for the years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and thereafter, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, there was $10,921,910 outstanding on the Acquisition Note.

The Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default, some with corresponding cure periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of covenants or representations in the Loan Agreement or any other loan document, bankruptcy related defaults, the dissolution or liquidation of the Note Joint Venture and the occurrence of any material adverse effect (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The Loan Agreement also provides that it will be an event of default if, among other events, the OP and Moody National Realty cease to collectively own and control, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the equity interests in the Note Holder Joint Venture or the OP ceases to serve as the sole manager of the Note Joint Venture. Upon an uncured event of default under the Loan Agreement, Lender may declare all amounts due under the Acquisition Note immediately due and payable in full.

On November 8, 2012, Moody Holding acquired fee simple title to the Woodlands Property from unaffiliated third party sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $12,000,000, comprised of (1) a cash payment to the sellers of $5,345,193 and (2) the Company’s assumption and modification of an existing mortgage loan secured by the Woodlands Property with an original principal amount of $7,500,000 (the “Woodlands Loan”) from U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the Registered Holders of J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2006-LDP9, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-LDP9 (the “Lender”).

In connection with the acquisition of the Woodlands Property by Moody Holding, Moody Holding assumed, as modified, the Woodlands Loan pursuant to a Consent, Modification and Assumption Agreement by and among Moody Holding and the Lender. As of November 8, 2012, the Woodlands Loan had an outstanding principle balance of $6,911,422.

The entire unpaid principal balance of the Woodlands Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be due and payable in full on December 6, 2016. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Woodlands Loan will accrue at a per annum rate equal to 6.0%. In the event that, and so long as, any event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Woodlands Loan, the outstanding principal balance of the Woodlands Loan and any unpaid interest thereon will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (1) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law and (2) 11.0%. In addition, in the event that any payment due under the Woodlands Loan is not made when due, Moody Holding will pay a late charge in an amount equal to 5.0% of the amount of the overdue payment. Moody Holding may, upon at least thirty days prior written notice to the Lender, prepay the Woodlands Loan in full without penalty at any time following the date that is three months prior to the maturity date. In certain circumstances a prepayment of the Woodlands Loan will be subject to a prepayment penalty calculated in accordance with the promissory note evidencing the Woodlands Loan.  Principal payments of $91,682, $130,908, $139,097 and $6,507,807 are due for the years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, there was $6,869,494 outstanding on the Woodlands Loan.

The performance of the obligations of Moody Holding under the Woodlands Loan are secured by, among other things, (1) a security interest in the Woodlands Property and other collateral granted to Lender pursuant to a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, (2) a security interest in all personal property, accounts, inventory and other collateral related to the Master Tenant’s operation of the Woodlands Property granted to Lender by Master Tenant pursuant to a Security Agreement, (3) an assignment of the leases and rents of the Woodlands Property in favor of the Lender by each of Moody Holding and Master Tenant, (4) an assignment of all of Master Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the property management agreement and the subordination of all of the property manager’s rights and interests with respect to the Woodlands Property to the liens and interests of the Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement, and (5) an absolute guaranty to pay, and agreement to indemnify the Lender with respect to, certain of the obligations and liabilities of Moody Holding under the Woodlands Loan granted to the Lender, on a joint and several basis, by Brett C.

7. Related Party Arrangements

Advisor and certain affiliates of Advisor will receive fees and compensation in connection with the Company’s public offering and the acquisition, management and sale of the Company’s real estate investments.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

Moody Securities, LLC (“Moody Securities”), the dealer manager of the Company’s public offering, receives a selling commission of up to 6.5% of gross offering proceeds raised in the Company’s public offerings. Moody Securities may re-allow all or a portion of such selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Company pays Moody Securities a dealer manager fee of up to 3.5% of gross offering proceeds raised in the Company’s public offerings, a portion of which may be reallowed to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fee are paid for sales pursuant to the DRIP.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had paid Moody Securities $746,368 and $463,875 in selling commissions related to the initial and follow-on offerings, respectively, and $190,626 and $146,325 in dealer manager fees related to the initial and follow-on offerings, respectively, which has been recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Organization and Offering Costs

Advisor and its affiliates will be reimbursed up to 15% of offering proceeds for reimbursement of organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions and the dealer manager fee payable to Moody Securities) not to exceed actual expenses incurred. Advisor will be responsible for the payment of organization and offering expenses, other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees, to the extent they exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds, without recourse against or reimbursement by the Company. As of March 31, 2013, Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organizational and offering expenses of $3,214,000 and $797,000 related to the initial and follow-on offerings, respectively.  As of March 31, 2012, total offering costs were $4,132,374 for the initial public offering and $1,439,070 for the follow-on offering. Organization costs were $28,083 for the initial public offering.  Offering costs of $946,944 and $641,645 were incurred directly by the Company for the initial public offering and the follow-on offering, respectively.  The Company has reimbursed Advisor for $28,083 in organization costs and $742,134 in offering costs for the initial public offering and $795,324 in offering costs for the follow-on offering.  The Company has a $454,369 receivable from Advisor for offering costs related to the follow-on offering, which is recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital.   $2,443,296 in offering costs related to the initial public offering is not a liability of the Company because such costs exceeded 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock in the completed initial public offering. As of March 31, 2013, $456,470 in offering costs related to the follow-on offering is not a liability of the Company because such costs exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock in the follow-on offering.

Advisory Fees and Expense Reimbursement

Advisor, or its affiliates, receives an acquisition fee equal to 1.5% of (1) the cost of investments the Company acquires or (2) the Company’s allocable cost of investments acquired in a joint venture. With respect to investments in and originations of loans, Advisor will receive an origination fee in lieu of an acquisition fee. The origination fee will equal 1.5% of the amount funded by the Company to invest in or originate such loan. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had paid an acquisition fee of $180,000 to Advisor in connection with the acquisition of the Woodlands Property which is included in property acquisition expense.  Advisor waived its acquisition fee in connection with the acquisition of both the Residence Inn Property and the Hyatt Place Note.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had not paid any origination fees to Advisor.

Advisor will receive a debt financing fee of 1.0% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to the Company. It is anticipated that Advisor will pay some or all of these fees to third parties with whom it subcontracts to coordinate financing for the Company. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had not paid any debt financing fees to Advisor due to the fact that Advisor waived its debt financing fee in connection with the financing of the Residence Inn Property, the Hyatt Place Note and the Woodlands Property.

The Company pays Advisor a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 1.0% of the aggregate cost (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all real estate investments held by the Company at month-end. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred asset management fees of $0 and $16,671, respectively, payable to Advisor which are recorded in corporate general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Advisor waived the asset management fee for the months of February 2012 and March 2012 and May 2012 through March 2013.

If Advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale of a property or other investment, Advisor or its affiliates also will be paid a disposition fee equal to 3.0% of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold, provided that total real estate commissions, including the disposition fee, do not exceed 6.0% of the contract sales price.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had not paid any disposition fees to Advisor because Advisor waived the disposition fee in connection with the sale of the Residence Inn Property.

The Company will reimburse Advisor for all operating expenses paid or incurred by Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse Advisor for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of the Company’s average invested assets, or (2) 25% of the Company’s net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company’s assets for that period (the “2%/25% Limitation”). Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013, total operating expenses of the Company were $794,665, which included $142,350 in operating expenses incurred directly by the Company and $652,315 incurred by Advisor on behalf of the Company.  Of the $794,665 in total operating expenses incurred during the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013, $402,650 exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation and is not an obligation of the Company.  Additionally, Advisor has incurred $2,822,370 in operating expenses on the Company’s behalf prior to the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013.  Subject to a future determination by the board of directors, this amount is not reimbursable to Advisor nor an obligation of the Company.

Advisor waived all expenses reimbursable to Advisor for the eight fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 to the extent such expenses had not been previously reimbursed to Advisor.  Advisor further acknowledged that all expenses incurred directly by the Company and incurred by Advisor on the Company’s behalf during the waiver period shall be paid by Advisor on behalf of the Company.  Total reimbursable expenses waived or assumed by Advisor were $1,395,641 as of March 31, 2013.

Property Management Fees

The Company has engaged Moody National Hospitality Management, LLC, an affiliate of the Company (the “Property Manager”), as its property manager.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had paid Property Manager management fees of $40,371 and accounting fees of $10,000 pursuant to the terms described below.

In connection with the acquisition of the Woodlands Property on November 8, 2012, the Property Manager was engaged by the Company to manage the Woodlands Property pursuant to a Hotel Management Agreement between the Property Manager and the Master Tenant (the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Master Tenant pays the Property Manager a monthly base management fee in an amount equal to 3.0% of the Woodlands Property’s gross operating revenues (as defined in the Management Agreement). In addition, the Property Manager receives a monthly $2,500 fee for providing centralized accounting services and is eligible to receive additional fees for technical, procurement or other services for the Woodlands Property to the extent Master Tenant requests such services pursuant to the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement has an initial ten-year term, and thereafter will automatically renew for four consecutive five-year renewal terms unless either party provides written notice of termination at least 180 days prior to the end of the then current term. In the event that Master Tenant terminates the Management Agreement for any reason other than the Property Manager’s default, Master Tenant will pay Property Manager a termination fee equal to the base management fee estimated to be earned by the Property Manager for the remaining term of the Management Agreement, as adjusted for inflation and other factors; provided, however that so long as the Woodlands Loan remains outstanding, Master Tenant may terminate the Management Agreement at any time upon 30 days prior notice without paying any termination fee.

Perimeter Joint Venture

As discussed in Note 3, the Company owned a 75% membership interest in the Perimeter Joint Venture through the Company JV Member. The Moody JV Member, a limited liability company wholly owned by Brett C.

Moody also owned a 25% equity interest in Moody National RI Perimeter MT, Inc., a taxable REIT subsidiary formed in connection with the acquisition of the Residence Inn Property (the “Residence Inn TRS”).  Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company JV Member was entitled to receive 100% of cash from operations until it received cumulative distributions equal to a 10% per annum, cumulative non-compounded return on its invested capital (the “Preferred Return”).  Once the Company JV Member received the Preferred Return, the Moody JV Member was entitled to receive 100% of cash from operations until it received cumulative distributions equal to a 10% per annum, cumulative non-compounded return on its invested capital.  Thereafter, each member received distributions in accordance with their respective percentage interests. 

The Residence Inn Property was sold on August 23, 2012 as described in Note 11, Discontinued Operations.

The Note Joint Venture Agreement provides that cash proceeds from a sale, exchange, refinancing or other disposition of the Hyatt Place Note will be distributed as follows: (1) first, to each Member of the Note Joint Venture in proportion to their respective unreturned capital contributions to the Note Joint Venture until each member’s unreturned capital contributions have been reduced to zero; (2) second, to Moody National Mortgage until Moody National Mortgage has been distributed an amount equal to approximately 14% of all distributions made to all Members (inclusive of all prior distributions); and (3) thereafter, approximately 14% to Moody National Mortgage and approximately 86% to the OP and the Trust Members in proportion to their respective membership interests in the Note Joint Venture.  In addition, so long as Moody National Mortgage or Moody National Management has any outstanding guaranty of any indebtedness of the Note Joint Venture, (1) the OP will in good faith consult with Moody National Mortgage and consider any proposals or recommendations of Moody National Mortgage regarding any possible refinancing of indebtedness on the Hyatt Place Note or any sale of the Hyatt Place Note and (2) any sale of the Hyatt Place Note will require the consent of Moody National Mortgage, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

8. Incentive Award Plan

The Company has adopted an incentive plan (the “Incentive Award Plan”) that provides for the grant of equity awards to its employees, directors and consultants and those of the Company’s affiliates. The Incentive Award Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards or cash-based awards. Shares of common stock will be authorized and reserved for issuance under the Incentive Award Plan. The Company has also adopted an independent directors compensation plan (the “Independent Directors Compensation Plan”) pursuant to which each of the Company’s then current independent directors were entitled to receive 5,000 shares of restricted stock when the Company raised the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 in its initial public offering. Each new independent director that subsequently joins the Company’s board of directors will receive 5,000 shares of restricted stock on the date he or she joins the Company’s board of directors. In addition, on the date of each of the first four annual meetings of the Company’s stockholders at which an independent director is re-elected to the Company’s board of directors, he or she will receive 2,500 restricted shares. Subject to certain conditions, the non-vested shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Independent Directors Compensation Plan will vest and become non-forfeitable in four equal quarterly installments beginning on the first day of the first quarter following the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted stock will become fully vested on the earlier to occur of (1) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability, or (2) a change in control of the Company. As of March 31, 2013, there were 1,966,250 common shares remaining available for future issuance under the Incentive Award Plan and the Independent Directors Compensation Plan.

On August 14, 2012, Perimeter Holding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Perimeter Joint Venture and holder of fee simple title to the Residence Inn Property, and Residence Inn Master Tenant (together with Perimeter Holding, the “Seller”) entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for the sale of the Residence Inn Property to a third party buyer for an aggregate purchase price of $9,150,000. Perimeter Holding originally purchased the Residence Inn Property for an aggregate purchase price of $7,350,000 plus closing costs, transfer taxes and certain payments to third parties in connection with fees incurred by the seller of the Residence Inn Property. The sale of the Residence Inn Property closed on August 23, 2012.  Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Seller and the buyer equally divided all escrow fees and sales and transfer taxes in connection with the sale of the Residence Inn Property, and all other closing costs were apportioned between the Seller and buyer. In connection with the sale of the Residence Inn Property, Residence Inn Master Tenant’s lease of the Residence Inn Property was terminated.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Residence Inn Property were used to repay the $5,000,000 loan obtained to acquire the Residence Inn Property (the “Residence Inn Citicorp Loan”). In connection with the prepayment of the Residence Inn Citicorp Loan, Seller paid $391,232 of the prepayment penalty and the buyer paid $291,232 of the prepayment penalty.  In addition, the Seller paid Residence Inn by Marriott, LLC (“Marriott”) the $600,000 franchise termination fee payable pursuant to the Management Agreement with Marriott in connection with the termination of the Management Agreement. Advisor waived its disposition fee in connection with the sale of the Residence Inn Property.

12. Income Taxes

The Residence Inn TRS and the Woodlands TRS are C-Corporations for federal income tax purposes and use the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Tax return positions are recognized in the financial statements when they are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences.  Temporary differences are differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods.  A valuation allowance may be placed on deferred income tax assets, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset may not be realized.

No provision for income taxes has been made for the Company (other than the Residence Inn TRS and the Woodlands TRS) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 as it made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011.  Prior to January 1, 2011, the Company was subject to federal and state income taxes as it had not elected to be taxed as a REIT.

The TRS’s had no deferred tax liabilities as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had no operating loss carry-forwards.

The income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:

Overview
 
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 15, 2008, to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate investments. We will seek to acquire primarily hotel properties and, to a lesser extent, multifamily, office, retail and industrial properties as well as real estate securities and debt-related investments. We are dependent upon proceeds received from the sale of shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering and any indebtedness that we may incur in order to conduct our proposed real estate investment activities.

On May 2, 2008, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a maximum of $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public in our primary offering and $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. On April 15, 2009, the SEC declared our registration statement effective and we commenced our initial public offering.

On October 12, 2012, we terminated our initial public offering and commenced our follow-on public offering (discussed below).  As of the termination of our initial public offering on October 12, 2012, we had accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 1,126,253 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering, including 29,582 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in offering proceeds of $10,966,713.

On February 14, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register a follow-on public offering of up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock. In our follow-on offering we are offering up to $900,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public and up to $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. On October 12, 2012, our follow-on offering was declared effective by the SEC and we terminated our initial public offering and commenced our follow-on offering.  As of March 31, 2013, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, 1,782,024 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering and follow-on offering, including 43,708 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $17,383,161.

We are offering shares to the public in our follow-on offering at a price of $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain purchasers, and to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. Our board of directors may change the price at which we offer shares to the public in our follow-on offering from time to time during the follow-on offering, but not more frequently than quarterly, to reflect changes in our estimated per-share net asset value and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.
 
 
29

 
 
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our public offerings to invest in a diversified portfolio of real properties, real estate securities and debt-related investments. We anticipate that our portfolio will consist primarily of hotel properties located in the United States and Canada that we own exclusively or in joint ventures or other co-ownership arrangements with other persons. We may also invest in other property types consisting of multifamily, office, retail and industrial assets located in the United States and Canada as well as securities of real estate companies and debt-related investments. We may also make opportunistic investments in properties that may be under-developed or newly constructed and in properties that we believe are undervalued.

As of March 31, 2013, our portfolio consisted of two investments: (1) a 74.5% joint venture interest in the Hyatt Place note, a mortgage note secured by a hotel property located in Grapevine, Texas commonly known as Hyatt Place Grapevine hotel; and (2) the Woodlands property, a 91 room hotel situated on approximately 216,849 square foot (4.98 acre) parcel of land in The Woodlands, Texas.

We believe that we have sufficient capital to meet our existing debt service and other operating obligations for the next year and that we have adequate resources to fund our cash needs until we reach sustainable profitable operations. However, our operations are subject to a variety of risks, including, but not limited to, our ability to raise additional funds in our continuous public offering, changes in national economic conditions, the restricted availability of financing, changes in demographic trends and interest rates, declining real estate valuations and downward pressure on rental rates. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that we will meet our investment objectives or that the risks described above will not have an adverse effect on our properties or results of operations.

We made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011.  We previously determined not to make an election to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code because we had a net operating loss for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and had fewer than 100 stockholders as of December 31, 2009 and 2010.

As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after the taxable year in which we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income.

Market Outlook

The 2007-2009 recession in the United States impacted the real estate and credit markets, primarily in the form of escalating default rates on mortgages, declining home values and increasing inventory nationwide. The constraints on available credit have resulted in illiquidity and volatility in the markets for corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and commercial real estate bonds and loans. Economic conditions have also negatively impacted the commercial real estate sector, resulting in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values. The economy in the United States is currently improving; however, there is no assurance that economic conditions will continue to improve or will not worsen in the future. We believe that as the economic environment improves, we will have unique investment opportunities, particularly in the hospitality sector. We believe that the hospitality sector has the greatest supply-demand imbalance among all real estate asset classes at this time. As the economy continues to improve, room rates for hotels should increase due to the fact that increased demand for hotel rooms is generally correlated with growth in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). Demand growth, combined with the current undersupply of hotel rooms, should result in improved fundamentals in the hospitality space, particularly upward pressure on room rates. The ability of hotels to adjust room rates quickly should allow hotel property owners to take advantage of this anticipated trend.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We commenced real estate operations with the acquisition of the Residence Inn property on May 27, 2010. Our principal demand for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and the payment of distributions to our stockholders. Over time, we intend to generally fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions from operations. Our cash needs for acquisitions and investments will be funded primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering, including those offered for sale through our distribution reinvestment plan, and through the assumption and origination of debt.
 
 
30

 
 
There may be a delay between the sale of shares of our common stock and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investment operations. Our advisor, subject to the oversight of our investment committee and board of directors, will evaluate potential acquisitions and will engage in negotiations with sellers and lenders on our behalf. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

We may, but are not required to, establish working capital reserves from offering proceeds, out of cash flow generated by our real estate assets or out of proceeds from the sale of our real estate assets. We do not anticipate establishing a general working capital reserve; however, we may establish working capital reserves with respect to particular investments. We also may, but are not required to, establish reserves out of cash flow generated by our real estate assets or out of net sale proceeds in non-liquidating sale transactions. Working capital reserves are typically utilized to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. Our lenders also may require working capital reserves.

To the extent that any working capital reserve we establish is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowing. In addition, subject to certain limitations, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any real estate asset, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property or reinvest the proceeds of financing or refinancing in additional properties.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $153,310 and $(25,151), respectively.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in net income and depreciation expense combined with a reduction in cash used for working capital.

Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $(447,320) and $25,678, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the cash used in investing activities was comprised of earnest money and deposits of $615,000, offset by a decrease in restricted cash of $116,719 and repayments of a mortgage note receivable $50,961.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $3,575,705 and $819,637, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of offering proceeds of $4,570,747, which was used to fund $669,075 in offering costs and $200,579 for the payment of dividends.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2013, we had cash on hand of $5,991,796.

Debt

Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. “Net assets” for purposes of this calculation is defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, we may temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with an explanation for such excess.  As of March 31, 2013, our debt levels did not exceed 300% of the value of our assets.
 
 
31

 
 
As of March 31, 2013, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $17,791,404, which consisted of $10,921,910 outstanding on the financing obtained in connection with the acquisition of the Hyatt Place note, and $6,869,494 outstanding on the financing obtained in connection with the acquisition of the Woodlands property.

Organization and Offering Costs

Our organization and offering costs are incurred by our advisor on our behalf. Pursuant to our advisory agreement with our advisor, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs incurred by our advisor on our behalf associated with each of our public offerings, but only to the extent that such reimbursements do not exceed actual expenses incurred by our advisor and would not cause sales commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering costs borne by us in a public offering to exceed 15.0% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of our shares in such public offering as of the date of reimbursement. Our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent organization and offering costs (including sales commissions and dealer manager fees) incurred by us in a public offering exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock in a public offering. Organization costs were $28,083 for the initial public offering. Total offering costs for the initial public offering, which terminated on October 12, 2012, were $4,132,374. As of March 31, 2013, total offering costs for the follow-on offering were $1,439,070. Offering costs of $946,944 and $641,645 were incurred directly by us for the initial public offering and follow-on offering, respectively.  We have reimbursed our advisor for $28,083 in organization costs and $742,134 in offering costs for the initial public offering and $795,324 in offering costs for the follow-on offering.  We have a $454,369 receivable from our advisor for offering costs related to the follow-on offering, which is recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital.  $2,443,296 in offering costs related to our initial public offering is not our liability because such costs exceeded 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock in our completed initial public offering. As of March 31, 2013, $456,470 in offering costs related to our follow-on offering is not our liability because such costs exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock in our follow-on offering.

Operating Expenses

We will reimburse our advisor for all operating expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse our advisor for any amount by which our operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of our average invested assets, or (2) 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period, or the 2%/25% limitation. Notwithstanding the above, we may reimburse our advisor for operating expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.  For the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013, our total operating expenses were $794,665, which included $142,350 in operating expenses incurred directly by us and $652,315 incurred by our advisor on our behalf.  Of the $794,865 in total operating expenses incurred during the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013, $402,650 exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation and is not our obligation.  Additionally, our advisor has incurred $2,822,370 in operating expenses on our behalf prior to the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013.  Subject to a future determination by the board of directors, this amount is not reimbursable to our advisor nor our obligation.

Our advisor has waived all expenses reimbursable to our advisor for the eight fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 to the extent such expenses had not been previously reimbursed to our advisor.  Our advisor further acknowledged that all such expenses incurred directly by us during this waiver period shall be paid by our advisor on our behalf. Total reimbursable expenses waived or assumed by our advisor were $1,395,641 as of March 31, 2013.

We commenced operations on May 27, 2010 in connection with our acquisition of our interest in the Residence Inn property.  As of March 31, 2012, we owned the joint venture interest in the Residence Inn property and the Hyatt Place note.  As of March 31, 2013, we owned the joint venture interests in the Hyatt Place note and the Woodlands property.  Because we sold the Residence Inn property on August 23, 2012 and acquired the Woodlands property on November 8, 2012, our results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 are not directly comparable to those for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments.

As a result of the sale of the Residence Inn property, the revenues and expenses of the Residence Inn property are included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented and are discussed below separately.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the three months ended March 31, 2012

Revenue

Total revenue increased to $1,069,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $164,393 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Total hotel revenue was $908,975 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and was related to revenue from the Woodlands property.  Interest income from real estate loan receivable related to the Hyatt Place note decreased to $160,152 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $164,393 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. We expect that room revenue, other hotel revenue and total revenue will each increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate assets and owning the Woodlands property for the entire reporting period.

Hotel Operating Expenses

Hotel operating expenses were $500,127 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. We expect hotel operating expenses to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions.

Property Taxes, Insurance and Others

Property taxes, insurance and other were $53,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We expect these amounts to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions.
 
 
33

 
 
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $114,025 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  We expect these amounts to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions.

Property Acquisition Expenses

Property acquisition expenses were $31,534 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We expect these amounts to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased from $34,214 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $38,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  These general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of restricted stock compensation.  We expect corporate general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions, but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Loan Costs

In connection with the acquisition of the Hyatt Place note, the note joint venture borrowed $11,483,280 to partially finance the purchase of the Hyatt Place note.  In connection with the acquisition of the Woodlands property, we assumed a loan with a principal balance of $6,911,422 at the date of closing.  During the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred interest expense of $192,789 and $88,230, respectively, related to this debt, including amortization of deferred loan costs of $7,284 and $2,668, respectively. This increase in interest expense was due to the fact that we purchased the Woodlands property on November 8, 2012.  In future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings, the amount of proceeds we raise in our ongoing follow-on offering and our ability to identify and acquire real estate and real estate-related assets that meet our investment objectives.

 Income from Discontinued Operations

Total income from discontinued operations was $38,858 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which related to the Residence Inn property, which was sold on August 12, 2012.

Net Income

We had net income of $118,307 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a net income of $80,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Excluding income attributable to a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated joint venture of $19,286 and $29,441 and income attributable to a noncontrolling interest in common operating partnership units of $9 and $14, net income attributable to us was $99,012 and $51,352 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions is different, it is possible that different accounting policies will be applied or different amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses will be recorded, resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements or different amounts reported in the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2013.  There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new unimplemented accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Inflation
 
As of March 31, 2013, our only investments consisted of the Woodlands property and our 74.5% joint venture interest in the Hyatt Place note. Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation.  Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates.  We are currently not experiencing any material impact from inflation.

REIT Compliance
 
To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year following the taxable year in which we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which our REIT qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
 
Distributions
 
On May 20, 2010, we authorized and declared a cash distribution to our stockholders contingent upon the closing of our acquisition of our interest in the Residence Inn property, which occurred on May 27, 2010. Distributions (1) accrue daily to our stockholders of record on each day; (2) are payable in cumulative amounts on or before the 15th day of each calendar month; and (3) are calculated at a rate of $0.002192 per share of the our common stock per day, which, if paid each day over a 365-day period, is equivalent to an 8.0% annualized distribution rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share of our common stock.

The following table summarizes distributions paid in cash and pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (DRIP) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
 
One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. Cash generated from operations is not equivalent to net income as determined under GAAP. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, an industry trade group, or NAREIT, has promulgated a standard known as Funds from Operations, or FFO for short, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO because, in our view, FFO is a meaningful supplemental performance measure in conjunction with net income.

Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. As a result, in addition to FFO, we also calculate modified funds from operations, or MFFO, a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure that our management uses in evaluating our operating performance.  Similar to FFO, MFFO excludes items such as depreciation and amortization.  However, MFFO excludes non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, such as amortization of certain in-place lease intangible assets and liabilities and the amortization of certain tenant incentives. Our calculation of MFFO will exclude these items, as well as the effects of straight-line rent revenue recognition, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, non-cash impairment charges and certain other items, when applicable. Our calculation of MFFO will also include, when applicable, items such as master lease rental receipts, which are excluded from net income (loss) and FFO, but which we consider in the evaluation of the operating performance of our real estate investments.

We believe that MFFO reflects the overall impact on the performance of our real estate investments of occupancy rates, rental rates, property operating costs and development activities, as well as general and administrative expenses and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income (loss). As such, we believe MFFO, in addition to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP, is a meaningful supplemental performance measure which is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and determine our operating, financing and dividend policies.

Please see the limitations listed below associated with the use of MFFO as compared to net income (loss):

 
Our calculation of MFFO will exclude any gains (losses) related to changes in estimated values of derivative instruments related to any interest rate swaps which we may hold from time to time. Although we would expect to hold these instruments to maturity, if we were to settle these instruments prior to maturity, it would have an impact on our operations. We do not currently hold any such derivate instruments and thus our calculation of MFFO set forth in the table below does not reflect any such exclusion.

 
Our calculation of MFFO will exclude any impairment charges related to long-lived assets that have been written down to current market valuations. Although these losses will be included in the calculation of net income (loss), we will exclude them from MFFO because we believe doing so will more appropriately present the operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis. We have not recognized any such impairment charges and thus our calculation of MFFO set forth in the table below does not reflect any such exclusion.

 
Our calculation of MFFO will exclude organizational and offering expenses and acquisition expenses payable to our advisor.  Although these amounts reduce net income, we fund such costs with proceeds from our offering and acquisition-related indebtedness and do not consider these expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance and determining MFFO. Our calculation of MFFO set forth in the table below reflects such exclusions.
 
 
36

 
 
We believe MFFO is useful to investors in evaluating how our portfolio might perform after our offering and acquisition stage has been completed and, as a result, may provide an indication of the sustainability of our distributions in the future. However, as described in greater detail below, MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or as an indication of our liquidity. Many of the adjustments to MFFO are similar to adjustments required by SEC rules for the presentation of pro forma business combination disclosures, particularly acquisition expenses, gains or losses recognized in business combinations and other activity not representative of future activities. MFFO is also more comparable in evaluating our performance over time and as compared to other real estate companies, which may not be as involved in acquisition activities or as affected by impairments and other non-operating charges.

MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter.  MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed.  MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.  Investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and given the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.
 
The calculation of FFO and MFFO may vary from entity to entity because capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Consequently, our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. In addition, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs.  In particular, as we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition costs and other adjustments which are increases to MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash. MFFO also excludes impairment charges, rental revenue adjustments and unrealized gains and losses related to certain other fair value adjustments. Accordingly, both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

 The table below summarizes our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial performance measures to our net income (loss).

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our advisor and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and will continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our advisor or its affiliates for acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, financing coordination fees, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, asset and property management fees and expenses, leasing fees and reimbursement of certain operating costs.  Additionally, we have entered into joint venture arrangements with affiliates of our advisor in connection with the acquisition of the Hyatt Place note.  See Note 7 (Related Party Arrangements) to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Subsequent Events

Status of Offering

We commenced our initial public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock on April 15, 2009.  On October 12, 2012, the SEC declared the registration statement for our follow-on offering effective and we terminated our initial public offering.  We issued 1,126,253 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering, including 29,582 shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross offering proceeds to us of $10,966,713.  As of May 10, 2013, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued 1,954,214 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering and follow-on offering, including 46,640 shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in aggregate gross offering proceeds to us of $19,075,741.

Distributions Declared

On March 31, 2013, we declared a distribution in the aggregate amount of $109,828, of which $81,978 was paid in cash on April 15, 2013 and $27,850 was paid pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares of our common stock. On April 30, 2013, we declared a distribution in the aggregate amount of $125,669, which is scheduled to be paid in cash and through our distribution reinvestment plan in the form of additional shares on May 15, 2013.

Property Acquisition

On April 9, 2013, we acquired fee simple title to the Hyatt Place hotel property located in Germantown, Tennessee, or the Hyatt Place Hotel, from an unaffiliated third party seller, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,300,000, excluding acquisition costs. We financed the acquisition of the Hyatt Place Hotel with proceeds from our ongoing public offering and approximately $7,800,000 of indebtedness secured by the Hyatt Place Hotel.
 
Opened in August 2009, the Hyatt Place Hotel features 127 guestrooms, designed to accommodate extended visits with space for work, study and entertainment. The guestrooms feature a refrigerator, 42” flat-panel HDTV, Hyatt Grand Bed, and flexible workspace with task lighting. Other amenities include Wi-Fi internet access throughout the hotel, 24-hour StayFit@Hyatt fitness center, heated outdoor pool, and 24/7 guest kitchen and bakery café. The Hyatt Place Hotel offers 1,025 square feet of flexible meeting space and offers all-inclusive meeting packages tailored to specific corporate and group travel needs.

 Potential Property Acquisition

On April 22, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement relating to the acquisition of a Hyatt Place hotel located in North Charleston, South Carolina, or the Charleston hotel, from an unaffiliated third party seller, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,800,000, excluding acquisition costs. We intend to finance the acquisition of the Charleston hotel with proceeds from our follow-on public offering and mortgage indebtedness secured by the Charleston hotel.

The acquisition of the Charleston hotel is subject to substantial conditions to closing, including: (1) the sale of a sufficient number of shares of common stock in our public offering to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Charleston hotel; (2) our ability to obtain financing for the acquisition of the Charleston hotel on acceptable terms; and (3) the absence of a material adverse change to the Charleston hotel prior to the date of the acquisition. The closing of the acquisition of the Charleston hotel is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2013. There is no assurance that we will close the acquisition of the Charleston hotel on the terms described above or at all.

Amendment to Advisory Agreement
 
On April 9, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Advisory Agreement. The Amendment renewed the Advisory Agreement, effective April 15, 2013, for an additional one-year term expiring on April 15, 2014.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of real estate in the future. We will seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.

With regard to variable rate financing, our advisor will assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our advisor will maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy will be designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on your investment may be reduced.

As of March 31, 2013, all of our outstanding indebtedness accrued interest at a fixed rate and therefore an increase or decrease in interest rates would have no effect on our interest expense. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated.  However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
 
The carrying value of our debt approximates fair value as of March 31, 2013, as all of our debt has a fixed interest rate and the rate approximates market interest rates.

We are also exposed to interest rate risk and credit risk with respect to our joint venture interest in the Hyatt Place note. The Hyatt Place note bears interest at a fixed rate that resets twice during the term of the note. Interest rate changes may affect the fair value of the Hyatt Place note. As of March 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Hyatt Place note approximated the fair value. Additionally, each reset of the interest rate of the Hyatt Place note may affect our future earnings or cash flow.

We will also be exposed to credit risk with respect to any derivative contracts we enter into. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of a derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.  We did not hold any derivative contracts in the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 13d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we did not repurchase any of our securities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we did not sell any equity securities which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On April 15, 2009, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333­-150612), registering a public offering of up to $1,100,000,000 in shares of our common stock, was declared effective by the SEC and we commenced our initial public offering. In our initial public offering we offered up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at $10.00 per share and up to $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share. On October 12, 2012, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-179521) registering our follow-on public offering of up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock, was declared effective by the SEC and our initial public offering automatically terminated. In our follow-on offering we are offering up to $900,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at $10.00 per share and up to $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share.

As of March 31, 2013, we had accepted subscriptions for, and issued, 655,771 shares of our common stock in our follow-on offering, including 14,127 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in gross offering proceeds from our follow-on offering of $6,416,448.

As of March 31, 2013, we had incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in our follow-on offering in the amounts set forth in the table below. Moody Securities, LLC, our dealer manager, reallowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers.

Fee and Expense Waiver Letter

On March 26, 2013, we entered into a fee and expense waiver letter with our advisor whereby our advisor waived all expenses reimbursable to our advisor pursuant to our advisory agreement for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, or the waiver period, to the extent such expenses had not been previously reimbursed to our advisor. Our advisor further acknowledged that all expenses incurred directly by us and incurred by our advisor on our behalf during the waiver period shall be paid by our advisor on our behalf.  Additionally, our advisor waived the asset management fee payable by us pursuant to our advisory agreement with our advisor for the three months ended March 2013. Our advisor had previously waived the expenses reimbursable to it for the seven fiscal quarters preceding the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and the asset management fees payable to our advisor for the months of February and March 2012 and May through December 2012.
