NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Description of Business



Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Condor”), a Maryland corporation, is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes that specializes in the investment and ownership of high-quality select-service, limited-service, extended stay, and compact full service hotels.  As of March 31,  2020, the Company owned 15 hotels in eight statesReferences to the “Company”, “we,” “our,” and “us” herein refer to Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., including, as the context requires, its direct and indirect subsidiaries.



The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Condor Hospitality REIT Trust, owns a controlling interest in Condor Hospitality Limited Partnership (the operating partnership”), for which we serve as general partner.  The operating partnership, including its various subsidiaries, holds substantially all of the Company’s assets (with the exception of the furniture and equipment of all properties held by TRS Leasing, Inc.) and conducts all of its operations. At March 31, 2020, the Company owned 99.9% of the common operating units (“common units”) of the operating partnership with the remaining common units owned by other limited partners.



In order for the income from our hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross income tests required by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of our hotels.  Therefore, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries lease our hotel properties to the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary, TRS Leasing, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “TRS”). The TRS in turn engages third-party eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels. The operating partnership, the TRS, and their respective subsidiaries are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.



Historically, as a result of the geographic areas in which we operate, the operations of our hotels have been seasonal in nature.  Generally, occupancy rates, revenue, and operating income have been greater in the second and third quarters of the calendar year than in the first and fourth quarters, with the exception of our hotels located in Florida, which experience peak demand in the first and fourth quarters annually. 



Agreement and Plan of Merger



On July 19, 2019, the Company, the operating partnership (the Company and operating partnership, the “Company Parties”), NHT Operating Partnership, LLC (“NHT Parent”), NHT REIT Merger Sub, LLC (“NHT Merger Sub”) and NHT Operating Partnership II, LLC (“NHT Merger OP,” and together with NHT Parent and NHT Merger Sub, the “NHT Parent Parties”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”).   



Closing of the acquisition did not occur on March 23, 2020, the contemplated closing date of the acquisition, and has not occurred as of the time of this filing. The Company Parties and the NHT Parties are in discussions concerning potential amendments to restructure the transaction, which will be disclosed if and when such amendments are agreed.  There can be no assurance with respect to the outcome of such discussions, and the Company continues reviewing its options and reserves all rights and remedies under the Merger Agreement.



The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger OP will merge with and into the operating partnership (the “Partnership Merger”), and, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Company Merger” and, together with the Partnership Merger, the “Mergers”). Upon completion of the Partnership Merger, Merger OP will survive and the separate existence of the operating partnership will cease. Upon completion of the Company Merger, the Company will survive and the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Company Board”, and subsequently approved by the holders of the Company’s common stock (the “Company common stock”) and 6.25% Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) at a special meeting of shareholders held on September 23, 2019.

(Unaudited – In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, if the Company Merger is consummated, each share of the Company common stock (other than treasury shares and shares held by the NHT Parent Parties, which will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist with no consideration being delivered in exchange therefor), will be converted into the right to receive $11.10 per share in cash, and each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive $10.00 in cash, each without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.  If the Partnership Merger consummated, each common unit of partnership interest in the operating partnership (excluding operating partnership common units held by the general partner of the operating partnership) will be converted into the right to receive $0.21346 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.



Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each of the outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will automatically become fully vested and all restrictions thereon will lapse, and thereafter, all Company common stock represented thereby will be considered outstanding for all purposes under the Merger Agreement and will only have the right to receive an amount equal to $11.10 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.



Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company exercised its right to acquire the remaining 20% equity interest of the Atlanta JV that it did not own.



The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants by the Company to in all material respects carry on its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, subject to certain exceptions, during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Mergers. The obligations of the parties to consummate the Mergers are not subject to any financing condition or the receipt of any financing by Parent, Merger Sub or Merger OP.



Upon a termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to pay a termination fee to Parent of $9.54 million. In certain other circumstances, including termination by the Company for the NHT Parties’ failure to close or for a material breach by the NHT Parties, NHT Parent will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $11.925 million upon termination of the Merger Agreement.



During the term of the Merger Agreement, without the consent of the NHT Parties, the Company may not pay cash dividends to holders of the Company common stock or the Series E Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have agreed to waive accrual of any unpaid dividends between signing and closing.



Basis of Presentation



The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, as well as the accounts of the operating partnership and its subsidiaries and our wholly owned TRS and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 



We evaluate each of our investments and contractual relationships to determine whether they meet the guidelines for consolidation. Entities are consolidated if the determination is made that we are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or we maintain control of the asset through our voting interest or other rights in the operation of the entity.  The Company has concluded that our operating partnership meets the criteria to be considered a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, the Company consolidates the operating partnership. The Company’s sole significant asset is its investment in the operating partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the operating partnership. All of the Company’s debt is an obligation of the operating partnership.



The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the general instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year performance for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any future period. These consolidated

financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.



Estimates, Risks, and Uncertainties



The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as revenue and expenses recognized during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Because the state of the economy and the real estate market can significantly impact hotel operating performance and the estimated fair value of our assets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions that have been utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements could change.



The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has reduced travel significantly and adversely affected the hospitality industry in general.  The actual and threatened spread of coronavirus globally or in the regions in which we operate, or future widespread outbreak of infectious or contagious disease, can continue to reduce national and international travel in general.  The extent to which the hospitality industry, and thus our business will be affected by the coronavirus will largely depend on future developments which we cannot accurately predict, and the impact on customer travel, including the duration of the outbreak, the continued spread and treatment of the coronavirus, and new information and developments that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.  To the extent that travel activity in the U.S. is and will be materially and adversely affected by the coronavirus, business and financial results of the hospitality industry, and thus our business and financial results, could be impacted.



Since late March 2020, similar to the conditions affecting the hospitality industry as a whole, we experienced occupancy declines at many of our properties which will require us to adjust our business operations, and will have an impact on our operating income and may potentially impact future compliance with our debt covenants.



As a result of the above factors, the Company is taking actions at the corporate and hotel level, including, but not limited to:

·

Amending its secured credit facility with KeyBank National Association and the other lenders party thereto (the “credit facility”) on March 30, 2020 to provide extension options out to March 1, 2022, waivers / modifications of certain covenants, and establishment of interest reserves for near term debt service payments as necessary (see further discussion of the Sixth Amendment to the credit facility in Note 6).

·

Asset management working with hotel management companies to reduce all hotels operating expenses including, but not limited to, closing off multiple floors, staffing reductions and furloughs, utility consumption reductions, purchasing reductions and eliminations, contract services reductions and eliminations, food services closures, exercise facilities closures, and certain reduction and elimination of certain marketing expenditures.

·

Seeking potential alternative revenue sources through health care providers, government agencies, universities and airlines.

·

Applications by Condor and its hotel operators for Paycheck Protection Program loans authorized under the recently congressionally approved CARES Act.

·

Seeking potential recovery of certain losses through insurance coverage.

·

Pursuing corporate cost reductions, including staffing reductions resulting in an approximately 20% decrease in non-consulting expenses compared to historical operations.

·

With its credit facility amended, representing over 53% of Condor’s loans, Condor has approached three of its remaining lenders for potential modifications to provide interest reserves or accruals during the second

quarter of 2020. Two lenders representing approximately 26% of Condor’s loans have agreed, while discussions are in process with the third lender representing approximately 15% of Condor’s loans.

·

Capital improvement projects have been suspended except for emergency circumstances and will remain on hold for immediate future, with the potential for the suspension to continue through 2020.

·

The Company has determined that it is advisable and the best business practice to cause a temporary closure of 30 to 90 days of two of its hotels in April 2020, the Solomons Hilton Garden Inn and at the Leawood Aloft.  The Company is evaluating on a daily basis similar temporary closures at the Lake Mary Hampton Inn & Suites, the San Antonio SpringHill Suites, and the Round Rock Home2 Suites, however, all other hotels currently remain open.



While we cannot assure you that that the assumptions used to estimate our future liquidity will be correct, the Company believes it can generate the liquidity required to operate through the crisis through a combination of the continued operation of a majority of our portfolio with significant cost reduction measures in place and, if necessary, additional debt and equity financings.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms or at all.



Additionally, although the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants as of March 31, 2020, management has determined that the Company may violate certain financial covenants under its debt agreements within the next twelve months if covenant waivers or amendments are not obtained. If the Company were to violate one or more financial covenants, the lenders could declare the Company in default and could accelerate the amounts due under a portion or all of the Company’s outstanding debt. The Company believes it will receive such waivers before any covenants are violated. However, any waivers would be granted at the sole discretion of the lenders, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such waivers.



Based on a combination of these factors and the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) that requires that in making this determination for the one year period following the date of the financial statements, the Company cannot consider future fundraising activities or the likelihood of obtaining covenant waivers, all of which are outside of the Company's sole control, the Company has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the one year period after the date the financial statements are issued.  Management believes it will obtain required waivers from its lenders before any covenants are violated given that conditions are not exclusive to the Company and based on the actions of lenders thus far in this crisis including waivers already granted to the Company.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain waivers on acceptable terms or at all.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



Investment in Hotel Properties



At the time of acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of assets to asset classes based on the fair value of the acquired real estate, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and intangible assets, if any, and the fair value of liabilities assumed, including debt. Acquisition date fair values are determined based on replacement costs, appraised values, and estimated fair values using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers including discounted cash flows and capitalization rates. 



Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business.  As such, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not considered a business. When we conclude that an acquisition meets this threshold, acquisition costs will be capitalized as part of our allocation of the purchase price of the acquired hotel properties.    We concluded that the Company’s purchase of the remaining 20% of the joint venture that owns the Atlanta Aloft property (the “Atlanta JV”), completed in the first quarter of 2020, was the acquisition of assets and as such acquisition costs were capitalized as part of this transaction (see Note 3).

(Unaudited – In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

The Company’s investments in hotel properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 12 years for furniture and equipment. 



Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the hotel properties are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.



The initial fees incurred to enter into the franchise agreements are capitalized and amortized over the life of the franchise agreements using the straight-line method.  Amortization expense is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.



On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the carrying value of each held for use hotel to determine if certain circumstances, known as triggering events, exist indicating impairment to the carrying value of the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified.  These triggering events include a significant change in the cash flows of or a significant adverse change in the business climate for a hotel.  If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will prepare an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on these undiscounted future cash flows. If the investment is not recoverable based on this analysis, an impairment charge will be taken, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of the hotel to the hotel’s estimated fair value.



Investment in Joint Venture



If it is determined that we do not have a controlling interest in a joint venture, either through our financial interest in a VIE or through our voting interest in a voting interest entity (“VOE”) and we have the ability to provide significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur, with losses limited to the extent of our investment in, advances to, and commitments to the investee. Pursuant to our Atlanta JV agreement, prior to our acquisition of the remaining 20% interest in the Atlanta JV (see Note 3), allocations of the profits and losses of our Atlanta JV were potentially allocated disproportionately to nominal ownership percentages due to specified preferred return rate thresholds.



Distributions received from a joint venture are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows using the cumulative distributions approach. Distributions are classified as cash inflows from operating activities unless cumulative distributions, including those from prior periods not designated as a return of investment, exceed cumulative recognized equity in earnings of the joint venture. Excess distributions are classified as cash inflows from investing activities as a return of investment.



On an annual basis or at interim periods if events and circumstances indicate that the investment may be impaired, the Company reviews the carrying value of its investment in unconsolidated joint venture to determine if circumstances indicate impairment to the carrying value of the investment that is other than temporary. The investment is considered impaired if its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the investment and that impairment is other than temporary.



Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations



A hotel is considered held for sale (a) when a contract for sale is entered into, a substantial, nonrefundable deposit has been committed by the purchaser, and sale is expected to occur within one year, or (b) if management has committed to and is actively engaged in a plan to sell the property, the property is available for sale in its current condition, and it is probable the sale will be completed within one year.  If a hotel is considered held for sale as of the most recent balance sheet presented or was sold prior to that balance sheet date, the hotel property and the debt it collateralizes are shown as held for sale in all periods presented. Depreciation of our hotels is discontinued at the time they are considered held for sale. 



Only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results are presented as discontinued operations.  The disposition completed in 2019 did not meet this

11

 


 

Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited – In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

definition, and we anticipate that most of our hotel dispositions will not be classified as discontinued operations as most will not fit this definition.



At the end of each reporting period, if the fair value of a held for sale property less costs to sell is lower than the carrying value of the hotel, the Company will record an impairment loss.  Impairment losses on held for sale properties may be subsequently recovered up to the amount of the cumulative impairment losses taken while the property is held for sale should future revisions to fair value estimates be required.  If active marketing ceases or the property no longer meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified to held for use and measured at the lower of its (a) carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held for use, or (b) its fair value at the date of the decision not to sell.



Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash



Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, and are carried at costs which approximates fair value.



Restricted cash consists of cash held in escrow for the replacement of furniture and fixtures, real estate taxes, property insurance, and debt service as required under certain loan agreements. 



Revenue Recognition



Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including the sales of rooms, food and beverage, and other ancillary services. Room revenue is recognized over a customer's hotel stay at the daily contract rate.   Revenue from food and beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized on these distinct goods and services at the contract rate at the point in time or over the time period that goods or services are provided to the customer and the related performance obligations are fulfilled. Certain ancillary services are provided by third parties and the Company assesses whether it is the principal or agent in these arrangements. If the Company is the agent, revenue is recognized based upon the commission earned from the third party. If the Company is the principal, the Company recognizes revenue based upon the gross sales price.  Accounts receivable primarily represents receivables from hotel guests who occupy hotel rooms and utilize hotel services. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover estimated potential credit losses.



Sales, use, occupancy, and similar taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.



Hotel operating revenues can be disaggregated into the following categories to demonstrate how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows:

Income Taxes



The Company qualifies and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as amended.  In general, under such Code provisions, an entity which has made the required election and, in the taxable year, meets certain requirements and distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent of the income currently distributed to shareholders.  A REIT will incur a 100% tax on the net gain derived from any sale or other disposition of property

12

 


 

Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

that the REIT holds primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. We do not believe any of our hotels were held primarily for sale in the ordinary course of our trade or business. However, if the IRS would successfully assert that we held such hotels primarily for sale in the ordinary course of our business, the gain from such sales could be subject to a 100% prohibited transaction tax.



Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the TRS is subject to federal, state, and local income taxes.  We account for the federal income taxes of our TRS using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities of the TRS and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.  However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on the consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the remaining deferred tax assets are deductible.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.



Fair Value Measurements



Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are utilized to determine the value of certain liabilities and equity instruments, to perform impairment assessments, to account for hotel acquisitions, in the valuation of stock-based compensation, and for disclosure purposes. Fair value measurements are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:



Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.



Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable.



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



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



With the exception of fixed rate debt (see Note 8) and other financial instruments carried at fair value, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature or variable market-based interest rates.



Fair Value Option



Under U.S. GAAP, the Company has the irrevocable option to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, with changes in fair value reported in net earnings.  This option was elected for the treatment of the Company’s convertible debt entered into on March 16, 2016 (see Note 7).

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded most existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires, among other changes to the lease accounting guidance, lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability and additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, to give companies another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing the new standard. The transition option allows companies to not apply the new leases standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019.  The Company elected the practical expedients allowed under the guidance and retained the original lease classification and historical accounting for initial direct costs for leases existing prior to the adoption date. The Company also elected not to restate prior periods for the impact of the adoption of the new standard. The adoption of this standard has resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and related liabilities to account for the Company's future obligations under the operating leases for which the Company is the lessee. See Notes 2 and 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures related to the adoption of this standard.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 842, Leases, and applied it prospectively. At adoption, the Company also elected the practical expedients which permitted it to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs. Consequently on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and related liabilities related to its operating leases. Since most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used incremental borrowing rates, with a weighted average rate of  5.2% at March 31, 2020.  The right-of-use assets and liabilities are amortized to rent expense, included in either hotel and property operations expenses or general and administrative expenses depending on the nature of the lease, over the term of the underlying lease agreements.  The weighted average remaining life of the Company’s operating leases, including options to extend when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options, was 6.5 years at March 31, 2020.



As of March 31, 2020, the Company's right-of-use assets, net of $76 are included in investment in hotel properties, net and its related lease liabilities of $76 are presented in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of this standard had minimal impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 3.  ACQUISITION OF HOTEL PROPERTIES



On February 14, 2020, the Company purchased the remaining 20% interest in the Atlanta JV from our joint venture partner (see detailed description of the Atlanta JV in Note 4) for $7,300 as allowed by the purchase option included in the original joint venture agreements.  The $7,300 was funded from the Company’s credit facility, and the Company became the primary obligator on the $34,080 New Term Loan (as defined in Note 4) as part of the transaction.  As the Atlanta JV was previously accounted for under the equity method and the acquisition was considered the acquisition of assets, the liabilities assumed as part of the transaction were recorded at fair value while the assets purchased in the transaction were recorded based on a pro-rata fair value allocation of the total available basis, which included the fair value of liabilities assumed, the cash purchase price paid, the balance of the investment in the unconsolidated joint venture at the time of the acquisition, and the acquisition costs incurred.  The purchase was recognized as follows:

All purchase price allocations were determined using Level 3 fair value inputs.



NOTE 4.  INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE



On August 1, 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture, the Atlanta JV, with Three Wall Capital LLC and certain of its affiliates (“TWC”) to acquire an Aloft hotel in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.  The Atlanta Aloft acquisition had a total purchase price of $43,550 and closed on August 22, 2016.  Prior to the purchase of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV on February 14, 2020 (see Note 3), the Company accounted for the Atlanta JV under the equity method.  Condor owned 80% of the Atlanta JV with TWC owning the remaining 20%.  The Atlanta JV was comprised of two companies: Spring Street Hotel Property II LLC, of which the operating partnership indirectly owned an 80% equity interest, and Spring Street Hotel OpCo II LLC, of which our TRS indirectly owned an 80% equity interest.  TWC owned the remaining 20% equity interest in these two companies.



The purchase was partially funded with a $33,750 term loan secured by the property.  On August 9, 2019, the operating partnership and the owner and lessee of the Aloft Atlanta hotel in the Atlanta JV (Spring Street Hotel Property LLC and Spring Street Hotel OpCo LLC, respectively), as Borrowers, closed on a $34,080 term loan pursuant to a term loan agreement with KeyBank National Association and the other lenders party thereto, as Lenders, and KeyBank National Association, as Agent for the Lenders (the “New Term Loan”).  The proceeds of the New Term Loan were used to repay the original term loan, which was terminated following the repayment.  The New Term Loan was included in full on the balance sheet of the Atlanta JV prior to the acquisition of the remaining interest by the Company in 2020.

The New Term Loan matured upon the earlier to occur of (a) consummation of the merger under the Merger Agreement (see Note 1) and (b) May 8, 2020. The New Term Loan was refinanced in May 2020 (see Note 16).  The New Term Loan bore interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either LIBOR plus 2.25% or a base rate plus 1.25%.  The New Term Loan required monthly interest payments and principal is due on the maturity date.  The Borrowers could, at any time, voluntarily prepay the New Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs).  The New Term Loan was secured by a first priority lien and security interest on the Aloft Atlanta hotel and the tangible and intangible personal property used in connection with such hotel, including inventory, equipment, fixtures, accounts and general intangibles.  The New Term Loan was guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.



Under the Atlanta JV agreement, the Atlanta JV was managed by TWC in accordance with business plans and budgets approved by both partners.  Major decisions as detailed in the agreement also required joint approval.  Condor could remove TWC as manager of the Atlanta JV and appoint a new manager only upon the occurrence of certain events.  The Atlanta Aloft hotel was managed by Boast Hotel Management Company LLC (“Boast”), an affiliate of TWC.  The Atlanta JV paid to Boast total management fees of $61 and $116 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and  2019, respectively.  The management of the Atlanta Aloft hotel was moved to Aimbridge Hospitality on March 1, 2020 following the acquisition of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV by Condor.



Net cash flow from the Atlanta JV was distributed each quarter first with a 10% annual preferred return on capital contributions to Condor, second with a 10% annual preferred return on capital contributions to TWC, and third with any remainder distributed to the partners based on their pro-rata equity ownership. Profits were allocated in the same proportion as net cash flow. Losses were allocated based on pro-rata equity ownership. Cash distributions totaling $480 and $200 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were received by the Company from the Atlanta JV.  



The Atlanta JV agreement also included buy-sell rights for both members (generally after three years of hotel ownership for Condor and after five years for TWC) and Condor had a purchase option for TWC’s Atlanta JV ownership interest exercisable between the third and fifth anniversary of the hotel closing.



The following table represents the total assets, liabilities, and equity, including the Company’s share, of the Atlanta JV as of December 31, 2019:

NOTE 5.  DISPOSITIONS OF HOTEL PROPERTIES



As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no hotels classified as held for sale. 



During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company sold no hotels.  During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold one hotel resulting in a total gain of $62.    







NOTE 6.  LONG-TERM DEBT



On February 14, 2020, with the purchase of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV (see Note 3), the Company became the primary obligator on the New Term Loan and drew an additional $7,300 under its credit facility with Key Bank to fund the transaction.    The New Term Loan was refinanced using the credit facility subsequent to quarter end as discussed in Subsequent Events (see Note 16).



On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to its credit facility with Key Bank which, among other things, makes the following changes to the credit facility:

·

Sets the size of the credit facility at $102,000 and removes the ability to reborrow under the credit facility in the future (without lender approval).

·

Extends the maturity date of the credit facility to April 1, 2021, and provides for two extension options (six months and five months) with the satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of extension fees, no defaults existing, delivery of evidence of pro forma compliance with financial covenants and delivery of updated appraisals.

·

Provides for principal prepayments with certain proceeds and cash flows through a cash management system / cash flow waterfall.

·

Implements a collateral-specific minimum debt yield (ratio of adjusted net operating income for the borrowing base properties to indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility) of 10%.  The covenant is first tested on September 30, 2020 and for purposes of calculating compliance with the covenant, annualized results are used until June 30, 2021 when the calculation is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters.

·

Maintains the maximum consolidated leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated total asset value) of 60% but provides for updated appraisals to determine consolidated total asset value (if required by the lenders).

·

Modifies the fixed charge coverage ratio (ratio of adjusted consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to consolidated fixed charges) to (a) 1.25 to 1 as of the end of

17

the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 and (b) 1.50 to 1 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.  For purposes of calculating compliance with the covenant, annualized results are used until June 30, 2021 when the calculation is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters.

·

Implements a maximum borrowing base leverage ratio (ratio of indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility to borrowing base asset value (based on updated appraisals required by the lenders) of 65%.  The covenant is first tested on June 30, 2021.

·

Eliminates the financial covenants regarding secured leverage ratio, tangible net worth and variable rate debt.

·

Modifies the covenant on dividends and distributions to provide that no cash dividends or distributions may be made to common or preferred shareholders.

·

Modifies the covenants on recourse debt and investments to provide that no additional recourse debt or investments will be permitted.

·

Adds certain monthly reporting obligations.

·

Increases the interest rate for the credit facility to LIBOR plus 3.25% or a base rate plus 2.25%, and further increases the interest rate spreads by 0.25% at six month intervals.  The LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 0.25%.

·

Provides for an interest reserve account, which was funded with $1,720 on March 30, 2020.  The funds are available to make interest payments under the credit facility upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including if the Company’s unrestricted cash balance is less than $1,500.



Additionally, on March 30, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Great Western Bank to defer the monthly principal and interest payments due under that loan on April 1, 2020, May 1, 2020, and June 1, 2020 until the loan’s maturity date in December 2021.



Subsequent to quarter end, the Company amended its credit facility with Key Bank and its loan agreements with Wells Fargo and Great Western Bank as discussed in Subsequent Events (see Note 16).



Long-term debt related to wholly owned properties, including debt related to hotel properties held for sale, consisted of the following loans payable at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

hotel properties securing the facility.  The commitment fee on the unused facility was 0.20%.  On March 30, 2020, the Sixth Amendment to the credit facility, as discussed above, modified this availability to set the size of the facility at $102,000 with no ability to reborrow under the facility in the future without lender approval.

(4) Prior to March 30, 2020, borrowings under the facility accrued interest based on a leverage-based pricing grid, at the Company’s option, at either LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.25% to 3.00% (depending on leverage) or a base rate plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% (depending on leverage)On March 30, 2020, these terms were modified with the Sixth Amendment to the credit facility, as discussed above, to increase the interest rate to LIBOR (with a floor of 0.25%) plus 3.25% or a base rate plus 2.25%, with further increases to interest rate spreads of 0.25% at six month intervals.  The 30-day LIBOR for $30,000 notional capped at 3.35% after giving effect to market rate cap (see Note 8). 

(5) Term may be extended for additional two years subject to interest rate adjustments.

(6) Two one-year extension options subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(7) With the signing of the Sixth Amendment to the credit facility as discussed above,  two extension options (six months and five months) are available subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(8) Borrowings accrue interest at the Company’s option at LIBOR plus 2.25% or a base rate plus 1.25%.

(9) Matures upon the earlier to occur of (a) consummation of the merger under the Merger Agreement (see Note 1) and (b) May 8, 2020.  This loan was refinanced using the credit facility subsequent to quarter end as discussed in Subsequent Events (see Note 16).

Financial Covenants



We are required to satisfy various financial covenants within our debt agreements, including the following financial covenants within our credit facility with KeyBank: 

·

Debt Yield:  The ratio of adjusted net operating income for the borrowing base properties to indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility cannot be less than 10%.  The covenant is first tested on September 30, 2020 and for purposes of calculating compliance with the covenant, annualized results are used until June 30, 2021 when the calculation is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters.

·

Consolidated Leverage Ratio: The ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated total asset value cannot exceed 60%.

·

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: The ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges cannot be less than (a) 1.25 to 1 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 and (b) 1.50 to 1 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.  For purposes of calculating compliance with the covenant, annualized results are used until June 30, 2021 when the calculation is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters.

Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Unaudited – In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

·

Borrowing Base Leverage Ratio:  The ratio of indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility to borrowing base asset value (based on updated appraisals required by the lenders) cannot exceed 65%.  The covenant is first tested on June 30, 2021.



Certain of the terms used in the foregoing descriptions of the financial covenants within our credit facility have the meanings given to them in the credit facility, and certain of the financial covenants are subject to pro forma adjustments for acquisitions and sales of hotel properties and for specific capital events.



As a result of the actual and anticipated impact of the COVID-19 virus on the hotel industry generally, the Company has received waivers from Great Western Bank with respect to compliance with its quarterly debt service coverage ratios (consolidated and for the Leawood Aloft collateral) for March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and modifications for September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 (providing for lower collateral covenant and use of annualized results).



If we fail to pay our indebtedness when due, fail to comply with covenants or otherwise default on our loans, unless waived, we could incur higher interest rates during the period of such loan defaults, be required to immediately pay our indebtedness, and ultimately lose our hotels through lender foreclosure if we are unable to obtain alternative sources of financing with acceptable terms. Our credit facility contains cross-default provisions which would allow the lenders under our credit facility to declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans and such default would permit that lender to accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan.



As of March 31, 2020, we are not in default of any of our loans.



NOTE 7.  CONVERTIBLE DEBT AT FAIR VALUE



As part of an Exchange Agreement entered into on March 16, 2016 with Real Estate Strategies, L.P. (“RES”, which also includes affiliated entities), the Company issued to RES a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”), bearing interest at 6.25% per annum, in the principal amount of $1,012.    The Note is convertible directly into 97,269 shares of common stock at any time at the option of RES or automatically when the Series E Preferred Stock is required to be converted or is redeemed in whole (see Note 10).  The Note is not convertible to the extent that a conversion would cause RES, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own more than 49% of the voting stock of the Company at the time of the conversion.  Any conversion reduces the principal amount of the Note proportionally. 



The Company has made an irrevocable election to record this convertible debt in its entirety at fair value utilizing the fair value option available under U.S. GAAP in order to more accurately reflect the economic value of this Note. As such, gains and losses on the Note are included in net gain on derivatives and convertible debt within net earnings each reporting period. Gains (losses) related to this Note were recognized totaling $40 and ($48) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectivelyThe fair value of the Note is determined using a trinomial lattice-based model, which is a generally accepted computational model typically used for pricing options. The fair value of the Note on the date of issuance was determined to be equal to its principal amount. Interest expense related to this Note is recorded separately from other changes in its fair value within interest expense each period.



The following table represents the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of the Note as of March 31, 2020:

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS



Our determination of fair value measurements is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s convertible debt (see Note 7) and certain derivative instruments were the only financial instruments measured in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis.  Nonrecurring fair value measurements were utilized in the determination of the fair value of acquired property in 2020 (see Note  3),  in the valuation of the stock-based compensation grants (see Note 12), and in the assessment of impaired and potentially impaired hotels during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.    No impairments or recoveries of impairment were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or March 31, 2019.



Derivative Instruments



Currently, the Company uses derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and caps, to manage its interest rate risk.  The fair value of interest rate positions is determined using the standard market methodology of netting discounted expected future cash receipts and payments. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the positions are based on expectations of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.  Derivatives expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the agreements.  The Company believes it minimizes this credit risk by transacting with major creditworthy financial institutions.  These interest rate positions at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

All derivatives recognized by the Company are reported as derivative assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and are adjusted to their fair value at each reporting date. All gains and losses on derivative instruments are included in net gain on derivatives and convertible debt and with the exception of realized gains and losses related to the interest rate instruments, which are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Net losses of $799 and $189 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were recognized related to derivative instruments.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt



The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of debt obligations with similar credit risks. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of debt are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt are presented net of deferred financing costs in the table below:

NOTE 9.  COMMON STOCK



The Company’s common stock is duly authorized, fully paid, and non-assessable. 

 

NOTE 10.  PREFERRED STOCK



The Company has 925,000 shares outstanding of Series E Preferred Stock.



The Series E Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and any other preferred stock issuances and receives preferential cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 6.25% per annum, payable quarterly of the $10.00 face value per share. If the Company fails to pay a dividend then during the period that dividends are not paid, the dividend rate increases to 9.50% per annum. Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, whether or not such dividends are declared, and whether or not such dividends are prohibited by agreement.  Under the Sixth

(Unaudited – In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Amendment to the credit facility, no cash dividends can be paid to common or preferred shareholders.  As of March 31, 2020, there are $289 of accrued but unpaid dividends related to the Series E Preferred Stock.



Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or after February 28, 2019, into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the conversion price of $13.845 into an amount equal to the $10.00 face value per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any. Upon liquidation, each share of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to $10.00 per share and accrued and unpaid dividends. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of stock splits and stock dividends. Following a specific equity offering or offerings, from time to time a number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock automatically converts into common stock if the common stock trades at 120% of the conversion price for 60 trading days, and the number of shares converted will be determined by certain trading volumes measures.



The Company has rights to redeem up to 490,250 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock at prices from 110% to 130% of its liquidation value.  The holders have put rights commencing March 16, 2021 to put the Series E Preferred Stock to the Company at 130% of its liquidation preference, which the Company can satisfy with cash or common stock. The Series E Preferred Stock votes as a class on matters generally affecting the Series E Preferred Stock, and as long as 434,750 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (47% of the originally issued shares of Series E Preferred Stock) remain outstanding, then 75% approval of the Series E Preferred Stock will be required to approve merger, consolidation, liquidation or winding up of Condor, related party transactions exceeding $120, payment of dividends on common stock except from funds from operations or to maintain REIT status, the grant of exemptions from Condor’s charter limitation on ownership of 9.9% of any class or series of its securities (exclusive of persons currently holding exemptions), issuance of preferred stock or commitment or agreement to do any of the foregoing.



The Series E Preferred Stock was determined to have a fair value of $9,900 on the date of issuance as measured using a trinomial lattice-based model.  From this value, the embedded redemption option (see Note 8), which was determined to be an asset with a fair value on the date of issuance of $150 using the same model, was bifurcated and will be accounted for at fair value at each period end.  These are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. 

 

NOTE 11.  NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP



Noncontrolling interest in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the equity in the operating partnership.  Earnings and loss are allocated to noncontrolling interest in accordance with the weighted average percentage ownership of the operating partnership during the period. 



Our ownership interest in the operating partnership was 99.9% as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, with 219,183 common units owned by limited partners were outstanding at both datesThe total redemption value for the common units was $17 and $47 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.



Each limited partner of the operating partnership may, subject to certain limitations, require that the operating partnership redeem all or a portion of his or her common units at any time after a specified period following the date the units were acquired, by delivering a redemption notice to the operating partnership. When a limited partner tenders common units for redemption, the Company can, at its sole discretion, choose to purchase the units for either (1) a number of shares of Company common stock at a rate of one share of common stock for each 52 common units redeemed or (2) cash in an amount equal to the market value of the number of shares of Company common stock the limited partner would have received if the Company chose to purchase the units for common stock. 



No common units were redeemed during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  During the three months ended March 30, 2019, 259,685 common units were redeemed for cash totaling $42.



NOTE 12.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION



The Company currently has in place the Condor 2016 Stock Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting on June 15, 2016.  The 2016 Stock Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, deferred stock units, and other forms of stock-based compensation.  The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common

(Unaudited – In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

stock that may be issued under the 2016 Stock Plan is 761,538 following an amendment to the plan to increase the number of available shares by 300,000 that was approved by shareholders on May 17, 2018 at the annual meeting of shareholders.  As of March 31, 2020, there were 507,140 common shares available for issuance under the 2016 Stock Plan.



Equity-based compensation is measured at the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation awards that contain a performance condition are reviewed at least quarterly to assess the achievement of the performance condition. Compensation expense will be adjusted when a change in the assessment of achievement of the specific performance condition level is determined to be probable. The determination of fair value of these awards is subjective and involves significant estimates and assumptions including expected volatility of our stock, expected dividend yield, expected term, and assumptions of whether these awards will achieve performance thresholds. We believe that the assumptions and estimates utilized are appropriate based on the information available to management at the point of measurement. Compensation cost is recognized as additional paid-in capital for awards of the Company’s common stock.  The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of stock-based compensation as they occur.



Service Condition Share Awards



From time to time, the Company awards restricted shares of common stock to employees, officers, and members of the Board of Directors under the 2016 Stock Plan.  These shares generally vest ratably over five years for employees and officers and three years for members of the Board of Directors based on continued service or employment.  Dividends paid on these restricted shares during the vesting period are not forfeited in the event that the shares fail to vest. The following table presents a summary of the service condition unvested share activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

The fair value of the service condition unvested share awards was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. 



Market Based Share Awards



Pursuant to an amendment of an employment agreement on June 28, 2017, an executive officer may earn shares of common stock if certain market share prices of common stock are attained.  Any such shares, if earned, will be issued under the 2016 Stock Plan or another shareholder approved plan.  The executive officer will earn and be issued 36,692 common shares each time stock market price targets of $11.00 to $18.00 (in one dollar increments) per common share are first achieved prior to March 31, 2022 based on the weighted-average common stock price for 60 consecutive trading days.  Additionally, the shares vest to the extent of the value received per share of common stock in connection with a change in control, with the payout in such case to be prorated for the portion of the value above a stock market price target but below the next stock market price target.



The compensation cost related to awards that are contingent upon achieving a market based criteria is measured at the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation, including consideration of the market criteria, and amortized on a straight line basis over the derived performance period which is also estimated using this model.    The Monte Carlo simulation method is a generally accepted statistical method used to generate a

24

defined number of stock price paths in order to develop a reasonable estimate of the range of future expected stock prices of the Company and its peer group and minimize standard error.  The total grant date fair value of this market based share award, including additional value assessed at the time of subsequent amendment of the award, was $1,380.  



Performance Based Share Awards



Pursuant to an amendment of an employment agreement on June 28, 2017, an executive officer may earn shares of common stock if certain operating results of the Company are obtained.  Any such shares, if earned, will be issued under the 2016 Stock Plan or another shareholder approved plan.  For each of the Company’s fiscal years 2017 through 2021, if the Company achieves between 85% and 101% of budgeted Funds from Operations (“FFO”) as approved by the Board of Directors, the executive shall earn and be issued between 11,741 and 19,569 shares of common stock, determined on a straight-line basis based on the percentage of budgeted FFO achieved.  In addition, for any fiscal year in which the Company achieves in excess of 101% of budgeted FFO, an additional 391 shares of common stock will be earned for each two percent actual FFO exceeds 101% of budgeted FFO, up to a total of 3,910 additional shares of common stock per year.



The fair value of the performance based share awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, discounted for estimated common stock dividends to be declared prior to the shares being issued.  The grant date occurs on an annual basis when budgeted FFO is approved by the Board of Directors.  During the first quarter of 2020, there were no shares issued related to performance based share awards.  During the first quarter of 2019, 13,778 shares with a grant date fair value totaling $122 were awarded to the executive based on 2018 FFO.  Simultaneously,  2,550 fully vested shares were issued to the executive with a fair value of $22 as a discretionary grant.



Director Fully Vested Share Compensation



Independent directors serving as members of the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors receive their monthly Investment Committee fees in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock. Certain independent directors also elect to receive a portion of their director fees in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock.



A total of 3,162 and 4,409 shares were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively,  to independent directors under the 2016 Stock Plan with respect to these fees.



Stock-Based Compensation Expense



The expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for stock-based compensation related to employees and directors for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $84 and $336, respectively,  all of which is included in general and administrative expense. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to all awards at March 31, 2020 was $485, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining service period of 2.4 years.

 

NOTE 13.  INCOME TAXES



During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, income tax benefit (expense) totaling $306 and ($186), respectively, was recognized primarily related to income earned by the TRS.  Management believes the combined federal and state effective income tax rate for the TRS will be approximately 24%.



After consideration of limitations related to a change in control as defined under Code Section 382, the TRS’s net operating loss carryforward at March 31, 2020 as determined for federal income tax purposes was $2,476.   The availability of the loss carryforwards will expire from 2027 through 2034, with an indefinite carryforward for losses arising after December 31, 2017.

NOTE 14.   EARNINGS PER SHARE



The two-class method is utilized to compute earnings per common share (“EPS”) as our unvested restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities.  Under the two-class method, losses are allocated only to those securities that have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.  Our unvested restricted stock is not obligated to absorb Company losses and accordingly is not allocated losses.  The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS:

NOTE 15.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



Management Agreements



Our TRS engages eligible independent contractors as property managers for each of our hotels in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT.  The hotel management agreements provide that the management companies have control of all operational aspects of the hotels, including employee-related matters. The management companies must generally maintain each hotel under their management in good repair and condition and perform routine maintenance, repairs, and minor alterations. Additionally, the management companies must operate the hotels in accordance with the national franchise agreements that cover the hotels, which includes, as applicable, using franchisor sales and reservation systems and abiding by the franchisors’ marketing standards.  The management agreements generally require the TRS to fund debt service, working capital needs, and capital expenditures and to fund the management companies third-party operating expenses, except those expenses not

26

 


 

Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited – In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

related to the operation of the hotels. The TRS also is responsible for obtaining and maintaining certain insurance policies with respect to the hotels.



Each of the management companies employed by the TRS at March 31, 2020 receives a base monthly management fee of 3.0% to 3.5% of hotel revenue, with incentives for performance, which increase such fee to a maximum of 5.0% of hotel revenue. Base management fees totaled $396 and $474, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, all of which was included as hotel and property operations expense.  Incentive management fees totaled $0 and $44, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.



The management agreements generally have initial terms of one to three years and renew for additional terms of one year unless either party to the agreement gives the other party written notice of termination at least 90 days before the end of a term. The Company may terminate a management agreement, subject to cure rights, if certain performance metrics tied to both individual hotel and total managed portfolio performance are not met. The Company may also terminate a management agreement with respect to a hotel at any time without reason, either with or without payment of a termination fee (depending on the agreement). The management agreements terminate with respect to a hotel upon sale of the hotel, subject to certain notice requirements.



Franchise Agreements



As of March 31, 2020,  all of our properties operate under franchise licenses from national hotel companies.  Under our franchise agreements, we are required to pay franchise fees generally between 3.3% and 5.5% of room revenue, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems, and other franchisor programs and services that amount to between 2.5% and 6.0% of room revenue. The franchise agreements typically have 10 to 25 year terms although certain agreements may be terminated by either party on certain anniversary dates specified in the agreements.  Further, each agreement provides for early termination fees in the event the agreement is terminated before the stated term. Franchise fee expense totaled $982 and $1,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, all of which was included as hotel and property operations expense.



The franchisor of two of our hotels advised us in 2019 that both of the hotels have dropped below the required level for guest satisfaction surveys, and that if the hotels do not achieve compliance, it reserves the right to elect to terminate the relevant franchise agreement.  The Company is actively addressing the matter relating to the surveys and has plans in place which it believes will resolve these issues.



Leases



The Company has no land lease agreements in place related to properties owned at March 31, 2020.

 

The Company entered into three new office lease agreements in 2016, replacing all existing office lease agreements.  Each of these office leases expired in 2019 with space currently being rented month to month. Office lease expense totaled $13 and $39 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively,  and is included in general and administrative expense.  The Company also has in place operating leases for miscellaneous equipment at its hotel properties.

Litigation



Various claims and legal proceedings arise in the ordinary course of business and may be pending against the Company and its properties.  We are not currently involved in any material litigation, nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us.  The Company has insurance to cover potential material losses and we believe it is not reasonably possible that such matters will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.



On August 20, 2019, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company and each of the Company directors, operating partnership, NHT Parent, NHT Merger Sub and NHT Merger Op, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Graham v.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



References to “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., including, as the context requires, its direct and indirect subsidiaries.



Forward-Looking Statements



Certain information both included and incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that management has made in light of experience in the business in which we operate, as well as management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control), and assumptions. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions.



Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts), availability of capital, risks associated with debt financing, interest rates, competition, supply and demand for hotel rooms in our current and proposed market areas, policies and guidelines applicable to real estate investment trusts, risks related to uncertainty and disruption in global economic markets as a result of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as the coronavirus), and other risks and uncertainties described herein, and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time.  These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein.  We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this report which speak only as of the date of this report.



Background



Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Condor” or the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes that specializes in the investment and ownership of high quality select service, limited service, extended stay, and compact full service hotels.  As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned 15 hotels, representing 1,908 rooms, in eight states.

 

We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnership, Condor Hospitality Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries (the “operating partnership”), for which we serve as general partner. As of March 31, 2020, we owned approximately 99.9% of the common operating units (“common units”) in the operating partnership.  In the future, the operating partnership may issue limited partnership interests to third parties from time to time in connection with our acquisition of hotel properties or the raising of capital.



In order for the income from our hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross income tests required by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of our hotels.  Therefore, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries

30

 


 

 

lease our hotel properties to the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary, TRS Leasing, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the TRS”). The TRS in turn engages third-party eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels.  The operating partnership, the TRS, and their respective subsidiaries are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements. 



Historically, as a result of the geographic areas in which we operate, the operations of our hotels have been seasonal in nature.  Generally, occupancy rates, revenue, and operating income have been greater in the second and third quarters of the calendar year than in the first and fourth quarters, with the exception of our hotels located in Florida, which experience peak demand in the first and fourth quarters annually. 



Overview



Agreement and Plan of Merger



On July 19, 2019, Company Parties and the NHT Parties entered into the Merger Agreement. Closing of the acquisition did not occur on March 23, 2020, the contemplated closing date of the acquisition, and has not occurred as of the time of this filing. The Company Parties and the NHT Parties are in discussions concerning potential amendments to restructure the transaction, which will be disclosed if and when such amendments are agreed.  There can be no assurance with respect to the outcome of such discussions, and the Company continues reviewing its options and reserves all rights and remedies under the Merger Agreement.



There can be no assurances that the acquisition of the Company will be completed.



COVID-19 Pandemic



The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has reduced travel significantly and adversely affected the hospitality industry in general.  The actual and threatened spread of coronavirus globally or in the regions in which we operate, or future widespread outbreak of infectious or contagious disease, can continue to reduce national and international travel in general.  The extent to which the hospitality industry, and thus our business will be affected by the coronavirus will largely depend on future developments which we cannot accurately predict, and impact on customer travel, including the duration of the outbreak, the continued spread and treatment of the coronavirus, and new information and developments that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.  To the extent that travel activity in the U.S. is and will be materially and adversely affected by the coronavirus, business and financial results of the hospitality industry, and thus our business and financial results, could be impacted.



Since late March 2020, similar to the conditions affecting the hospitality industry as a whole, we experienced occupancy declines at many of our properties which will require us to adjust our business operations, and will have an impact on our operating income and may potentially impact future compliance with our debt covenants.



As a result of the above factors, the Company is taking actions at the corporate and hotel level, including, but not limited to:

·

Amending its secured credit facility with KeyBank National Association and the other lenders party thereto (the “credit facility”) on March 30, 2020 to provide extension options out to March 1, 2022, waivers / modifications of certain covenants, and establishment of interest reserves for near term debt service payments as necessary (see further discussion of the Sixth Amendment to the credit facility in Significant Debt Transactions below).

·

Asset management working with hotel management companies to reduce all hotels operating expenses including, but not limited to, closing off multiple floors, staffing reductions and furloughs, utility consumption reductions, purchasing reductions and eliminations, contract services reductions and

31

 


 

 

eliminations, food services closures, exercise facilities closures, and certain reduction and elimination of certain marketing expenditures.

·

Seeking potential alternative revenue sources through health care providers, government agencies, universities and airlines.

·

Applications by Condor and its hotel operators for Paycheck Protection Program loans authorized under the recently congressionally approved CARES Act.

·

Seeking potential recovery of certain losses through insurance coverage.

·

Pursuing corporate cost reductions, including staffing reductions resulting in an approximately 20% decrease in non-consulting expenses compared to historical operations.

·

With its credit facility amended, representing over 53% of Condor’s loans, Condor has approached three of its remaining lenders for potential modifications to provide interest reserves or accruals during the second quarter of 2020.  Two lenders representing approximately 26% of Condor’s loans have agreed, while discussions are in process with the third lender representing approximately 15% of Condor’s loans.

·

Capital improvement projects have been suspended except for emergency circumstances and will remain on hold for immediate future, with the potential for the suspension to continue through 2020.

·

The Company has determined that it is advisable and the best business practice to cause a temporary closure of 30 to 90 days of two of its hotels in April 2020, the Solomons Hilton Garden Inn and at the Leawood Aloft.  The Company is evaluating on a daily basis similar temporary closures at the Lake Mary Hampton Inn & Suites, the San Antonio SpringHill Suites, and the Round Rock Home2 Suites, however, all other hotels currently remain open.

The Company’s investment strategy is to assemble a portfolio of premium-branded, select-service hotels in the top 100 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (“MSAs”) with a particular focus on MSAs ranked between 20 to 60. Since restarting its portfolio transformation in 2015, the Company has acquired 14 high-quality select-service hotels representing 1,808 rooms in its target markets for a total purchase price of $276.6 million. Additionally, during this time, the Company has sold 55 legacy assets for a total gross sales price of $169.9 million.



On February 14, 2020, the Company purchased our joint venture partner’s 20% interest in the joint venture owning the Atlanta Aloft property (the “Atlanta JV”) for $7.3 million.  The purchase price was funded with cash drawn from the credit facility.

Represents the purchase statistics from the purchase of this hotel by the originally 80% owned unconsolidated Atlanta JV.  The Company purchased the remaining 20% interest in the Atlanta JV from our joint venture partner on February 14, 2020 for $7.3 milion.



All of our properties are encumbered by either our credit facility or by mortgage debt at March 31, 2020.



Acquisitions



On February 14, 2020, the Company purchased the remaining 20% interest in the Atlanta JV from our joint venture partner for $7.3 million as allowed by the purchase option included in the original joint venture agreements.  The $7.3 million was funded from the Company’s credit facility, and the Company became the primary obligator on the $34.08 million New Term Loan (defined below) as part of the transaction. 



The New Term Loan matured upon the earlier to occur of (a) consummation of the merger under the Merger Agreement (see Note 1) and (b) May 8, 2020.  The New Term Loan was refinanced in May 2020.  The New Term Loan bore interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either LIBOR plus 2.25% or a base rate plus 1.25% and required monthly interest payments and principal is due on the maturity date.  The Borrowers could, at any time, voluntarily prepay the New Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs).  The New Term Loan was secured by a first priority lien and security interest on the Aloft Atlanta hotel and the tangible and intangible personal property used in connection with such hotel, including inventory, equipment, fixtures, accounts and general intangibles and was guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.



As the Atlanta JV was previously accounted for under the equity method and the acquisition was considered the acquisition of assets, the liabilities assumed as part of the transaction were recorded at fair value while the assets purchased in the transaction were recorded based on a pro-rata fair value allocation of the total available basis, which included the fair value of liabilities assumed, the cash purchase price paid, the balance of the investment in unconsolidated joint venture at the time of the acquisition, and the acquisition costs incurred.  The purchase was recognized as follows (in thousands):

Operating Performance Metrics



The following tables present our same-store occupancy,  average daily rate (“ADR”), and Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) for all our hotels owned on March 31, 2020.  Same-store occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR reflect the performance of hotels during the entire period, regardless of our ownership during the period presented, including 100% of the operating results of the property owned by the Atlanta JV in which the Company had an 80% interest prior to the purchase of the remaining 20% interest on February 14, 2020.  Results for the hotels for periods prior to our ownership were provided to us by prior owners and have not been adjusted by us or audited or reviewed by our independent auditors.

Total same-store RevPAR decreased by 25.2% in the first quarter of 2020, driven by both a decline in occupancy of 19.9% and a decline in ADR of 6.7% caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Company’s largest declines in RevPAR were at the Atlanta Aloft (40.1%), the Round Rock Home2 Suites (35.8%), the San Antonio SpringHill Suites (29.9%), the Tallahassee Home2 Suites (26.9%), and the Lake Mary Hampton Inn & Suites (25.2%).  The least immediately impacted hotels included the El Paso Fairfield Inn & Suites (8.0%), the Southaven Home2 Suites (14.3%), and the Jacksonville Courtyard by Marriott (15.4%).



Despite the tepid hotel demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has, subsequent to quarter end, been experiencing some increases in hotel occupancy.    Following February 2020 where the occupancy of the portfolio was 79.1%, the rapid shutdown of demand in March caused total occupancy across the portfolio to drop to a low of 12.9% on March 29, 2020.   In the subsequent weeks, occupancy for the thirteen hotels in the portfolio that have remained operational grew to 17.6% on April 20, 2020, 20.2% on April 27, 2020, has been in the range of 26.8% to 28.9% for the five days ending May 8, 2020. With ten of the fifteen hotels in the Company’s portfolio located in Florida, Texas, and Georgia, states that began early opening up businesses on a limited basis, the portfolio has been positioned to gain the benefit of being located in states taking actions to stimulate economic conditions.

Revenue



Revenue decreased by a total of $2,676, or 16.8%, as a result of the decreases in RevPAR resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above, partially offset by $813 in increased revenue resulting from the acquisition of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV in the first quarter of 2020.  Additionally, decreased revenue from the Solomons Quality Inn, which was sold at the end of the first quarter of 2019, contributed $63 to the decrease in total revenue.



Operating Expenses and Interest Expense



Hotel and property operations expense increased by $22.  Increased operating expenses of $809 from the acquisition of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV in the first quarter of 2020 were partially offset by decreased operating expenses due decreased revenue and occupancy as discussed above.  Decreases in operating expenses did not keep pace with the sudden and unexpected declines in revenue caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2020.



Depreciation and amortization expense increased in total by $348 as a result of the acquisition of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV during the first quarter of 2020.



Interest expense decreased in total by $183,  with an increase in debt outstanding due to the acquisition of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV being more than offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding due to changing market conditions (from 5.19% at March 31, 2019 to 4.32% at March 31, 2020).



General and administrative expense decreased by $470 driven by decreased compensation costs and decreased professional services fees.



In the first quarter of 2020, $144 of expenses were recognized as strategic alternatives expenses which include costs incurred related to the Company’s strategic alternatives initiative that generated the Agreement and Plan of Merger discussed further below with Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Equity Transactions.



Equity in earnings of joint venture



Equity in earnings of joint venture decreased by $433 between the periods as a result of the acquisition of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV during the first quarter of 2020, after which point the results from the Atlanta JV were fully consolidated and no longer recorded as an equity method investment.



Net Loss on Derivatives and Convertible Debt



The increase in the loss on derivatives and convertible debt was driven a decrease in the value of the Company’s interest rate swap on its Wells Fargo debt, which is adjusted to fair market value each period, as a result of differences in the interest rate environment, including a significant decrease in interest rates during the first quarter of 2020.



Income Tax Expense (Benefit)



Income tax expense (benefit) in both periods was driven primarily by income earned by the TRS.  Management believes the combined federal and state income tax rate for the TRS will be approximately 24% and income tax benefit or expense will vary based on the taxable earnings or loss of the TRS.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures



Non-GAAP financial measures are measures of our historical financial performance that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  We report Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA for real estate (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre, and Hotel EBITDA as non-GAAP measures that we believe are useful to investors as key measures of our operating results and which management uses to facilitate a periodic evaluation of our operating results relative to those of our peers.  Our non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP net earnings as an indication of financial performance or to U.S. GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.  Additionally, these measures are not indicative of funds available to fund cash needs or our ability to make cash distributions as they have not been adjusted to consider cash requirements for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, debt service obligations, or other commitments.



Funds from Operations (“FFO”) & Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”)



We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net earnings or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate assets, impairment, and the depreciation and amortization of real estate assets.  FFO is calculated both for the Company in total and as FFO attributable to common shares and common units, which is FFO reduced by preferred stock dividends.  AFFO is FFO attributable to common shares and common units adjusted to exclude items we do not believe are representative of the results from our core operations, including non-cash gains or losses on derivatives and convertible debt, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of certain fees, losses on debt extinguishment, and in-kind dividends above stated rates, and cash charges for acquisition and terminated transaction and strategic alternatives costs. All REITs do not calculate FFO and AFFO in the same manner; therefore, our calculation may not be the same as the calculation of FFO and AFFO for similar REITs.



We consider FFO to be a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides a meaningful indication of our performance.  We believe that AFFO provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net earnings and FFO, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance.



The following table reconciles net earnings (loss) to FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands). All amounts presented include our portion of the results of our unconsolidated Atlanta JV prior to our acquisition of the remaining 20% interest from our joint venture partner on February 14, 2020.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Hotel EBITDA



We calculate EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre by adding back to net earnings or loss certain non-operating expenses and certain non-cash charges which are based on historical cost accounting that we believe may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance. We believe these adjustments can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods. In calculating EBITDA, we add back to net earnings or loss interest expense, loss on debt extinguishment, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.  NAREIT adopted EBITDAre in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance.  We adjust EBITDA by adding back net gain/loss on disposition of assets and impairment charges to calculate EBITDAre.  To calculate Adjusted EBITDAre, we adjust EBITDAre to add back acquisition and terminated transactions expense and strategic alternatives expense, which are cash charges. We also add back stock-based compensation expense and gain/loss on derivatives and convertible debt, which are non-cash charges.  EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.



We believe EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre to be useful additional measures of our operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense), our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization expense), and other items we do not believe are representative of the results from our core operations.



The Company further excludes general and administrative expenses, other non-operating income or expense, and certain hotel and property operations expenses that are not allocated to individual properties in assessing hotel performance (primarily certain general liability and other insurance costs and office and banking fees) from Adjusted EBITDAre to calculate Hotel EBITDA.  Hotel EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.    



Hotel EBITDA is intended to isolate property level operational performance over which the Company’s hotel operators have direct control.  We believe Hotel EBITDA is helpful to investors as it better communicates the comparability of our hotels’ operating results for all of the Company’s hotel properties and is used by management to measure the performance of the Company’s hotels and the effectiveness of the operators of the hotels.



The following table reconciles net earnings (loss) to EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Hotel EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands). All amounts presented include our portion of the results of our unconsolidated Atlanta JV prior to our acquisition of the remaining 20% interest from our joint venture partner on February 14, 2020.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Equity Transactions



Agreement and Plan of Merger



The Merger Agreement among the Company, our operating partnership and certain affiliates of NHT provides that, upon consummation of the Mergers, the holders of our common stock would receive in exchange for their shares $11.10 per share in cash, the holders of our Series E preferred stock would receive in exchange for their shares $10.00 per share in cash, and the holders of the operating partnership would receive in exchange for their common units $0.21346 per unit in cash, each without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.  The transactions pursuant to by the Merger Agreement also contemplate that, upon closing, the NHT Parties would assume or otherwise payoff substantially all of the debt of the Company.  As disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Mergers have not been consummated, and there can be no assurances that the acquisition of the Company will be completed.



Liquidity Requirements



As previously discussed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospitality industry has experienced significant drops in demand. The Company has temporarily closed two of our hotels while our remaining hotels operate in a significantly reduced capacity.  We believe the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on the hospitality industry, and thus on our financial results and liquidity, and such negative impact may continue beyond the containment of the pandemic.  While we cannot assure you that that the assumptions used to estimate our future liquidity will be correct, the Company believes it can generate the liquidity required to operate through the crisis through a combination of the continued operation of a majority of our portfolio with significant cost reduction measures in place and, if necessary, additional debt and equity financings.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms or at all.



Additionally, although the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants as of March 31, 2020, management has determined that the Company may violate certain financial covenants under its debt agreements within the next twelve months if covenant waivers or amendments are not obtained. If the Company were to violate one or more financial covenants, the lenders could declare the Company in default and could accelerate the amounts due under a portion or all of the Company’s outstanding debt. The Company believes it will receive such waivers before any covenants are violated. However, any waivers would be granted at the sole discretion of the lenders, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such waivers.



Based on a combination of these factors and the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) that requires that in making this determination for the one year period following the date of the financial statements, the Company cannot consider future fundraising activities or the likelihood of obtaining covenant waivers, all of which are outside of the Company's sole control, the Company has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the one year period after the date the financial statements are issued.  Management believes it will obtain required waivers from its lenders before any covenants are violated given that conditions are not exclusive to the Company and based on the actions of lenders thus far in this crisis including waivers already granted to the Company.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain waivers on acceptable terms or at all.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sources and Uses of Cash



Cash provided by Operating Activities.  Our cash provided by operations was $1.1 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The decrease in operating cash flows was the result of a decrease in net income, after adjustment for non-cash items, of $2.6 million.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities between the periods were individually insignificant. 



Cash provided by (used in) Investing Activities.  Our cash flows related to investing activities were ($7.0 million) and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The decrease in these cash flows in 2020 was driven by the $7.2 million in cash, net, spent in the first quarter of 2020 to acquire the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV as well as $4.2 million in cash received related to the sale of hotel properties in the first quarter of 2019 that did not recur in 2020.



Cash provided by (used in) Financing Activities.  Our cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $8.4 million and ($5.6 million) for the three months ended March 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  This increase was primarily the result of increased net cash inflows from debt activities of $11.5 million, resulting from cash drawn under the credit facility to acquire the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV during the first quarter of 2020 as well as the absence of debt repayments associated with property sales that occurred in the first quarter of 2019.  Additionally, $2.3 million was paid for common stock dividends in the first quarter of 2019 that were not paid during the first quarter of 2020.



Outstanding Indebtedness



Significant Debt Transactions



On February 14, 2020, with the purchase of the remaining interest in the Atlanta JV, the Company became the primary obligator of the New Term Loan and drew an additional $7.3 million under its credit facility with Key Bank to fund the transaction.    



On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to its credit facility with Key Bank which, among other things, makes the following changes to the credit facility:

·

Sets the size of the credit facility at $102.0 million and removes the ability to reborrow under the credit facility in the future (without lender approval).

·

Extends the maturity date of the credit facility to April 1, 2021, and provides for two extension options (six months and five months) with the satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of extension fees, no defaults existing, delivery of evidence of pro forma compliance with financial covenants and delivery of updated appraisals.

·

Provides for principal prepayments with certain proceeds and cash flows through a cash management system / cash flow waterfall.

·

Implements a collateral-specific minimum debt yield (ratio of adjusted net operating income for the borrowing base properties to indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility) of 10%.  The covenant is first tested on September 30, 2020 and for purposes of calculating compliance with the covenant, annualized results are used until June 30, 2021 when the calculation is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters.

·

Maintains the maximum consolidated leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated total asset value) of 60% but provides for updated appraisals to determine consolidated total asset value (if required by the lenders).

·

Financial Covenants



We are required to satisfy various financial covenants within our debt agreements, including the following financial covenants within our credit facility with KeyBank: 

·

Debt Yield:  The ratio of adjusted net operating income for the borrowing base properties to indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility cannot be less than 10%.  The covenant is first tested on September 30, 2020 and for purposes of calculating compliance with the covenant, annualized results are used until June 30, 2021 when the calculation is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters.

·

Consolidated Leverage Ratio: The ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated total asset value cannot exceed 60%.

·

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: The ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges cannot be less than (a) 1.25 to 1 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 and (b) 1.50 to 1 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.  For purposes of calculating compliance with the covenant, annualized results are used until June 30, 2021 when the calculation is based on the most recently ended four fiscal quarters.

·

Borrowing Base Leverage Ratio:  The ratio of indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility to borrowing base asset value (based on updated appraisals required by the lenders) cannot exceed 65%.  The covenant is first tested on June 30, 2021.



41

 


 

 

Certain of the terms used in the foregoing descriptions of the financial covenants within our credit facility have the meanings given to them in the credit facility, and certain of the financial covenants are subject to pro forma adjustments for acquisitions and sales of hotel properties and for specific capital events.



As a result of the actual and anticipated impact of the COVID-19 virus on the hotel industry generally, the Company has received waivers from Great Western Bank with respect to compliance with its quarterly debt service coverage ratios (consolidated and for the Leawood Aloft collateral) for March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and modifications for September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 (providing for lower collateral covenant and use of annualized results).



If we fail to pay our indebtedness when due, fail to comply with covenants or otherwise default on our loans, unless waived, we could incur higher interest rates during the period of such loan defaults, be required to immediately pay our indebtedness, and ultimately lose our hotels through lender foreclosure if we are unable to obtain alternative sources of financing with acceptable terms. Our credit facility contains cross-default provisions which would allow the lenders under our credit facility to declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans and such default would permit that lender to accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan.



As of March 31, 2020, we are not in default of any of our loans.



Contractual Obligations



Below is a summary of our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2020 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our future liquidity and cash flows (in thousands), without consideration of the refinancing of the New Term Loan on May 13, 2020 as previously discussed:

Interest rate payments on our variable rate debt have been estimated using interest rates in effect at March 31, 2020.



We have various standing or renewable contracts with vendors. These contracts are all cancelable with immaterial or no cancellation penalties. Contract terms are generally one year or less.  We also have management agreements in place for the management and operation of our hotel properties.



Off Balance Sheet Financing Transactions



We have not entered into any off balance sheet financing transactions.



Critical Accounting Policies



Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.



Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments.  All of our

42

 


 

 

significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.



Recent Accounting Standards



See Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated interim financial statements for additional information relating to recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements.



ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that effect market-sensitive instruments.  At March 31, 2020, our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable rate borrowings and the market risk related to our convertible debt and the embedded redemption right in the Series E Preferred Stock that fair value will fluctuate following changes in the Company’s common stock price or changes in interest rates.



Interest Rate Sensitivity



We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs by closely monitoring our variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when we deem such conversion advantageous.  From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements or other interest rate hedging agreements.  At March 31, 2020, we have an interest rate swap in place which effectively locks the variable interest rate on our Wells Fargo debt (March 31, 2020 balance of $25.4 million) at 4.44% and an interest rate cap in place which caps the 30-day LIBOR interest rate on $30.0 million of our credit facility (March 31, 2020 balance of $95.9 million) at 3.35%We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.



The table below provides information about financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  The table presents scheduled maturities, including the amortization of principal and related weighted-average interest rates for the debt maturing in each specified period (dollars in thousands) as of March 31, 2020, without consideration of the refinancing of the New Term Loan on May 13, 2020 as previously discussed.  For the purposes of this presentation, the Wells Fargo debt is considered fixed rate debt as the variable interest rate is effectively locked with the previously discussed interest rate swap.

At March 31, 2020, approximately 27% of our outstanding debt is subject to fixed interest rates or effectively locked with an interest rate swap, while 73% of our debt is subject to floating rates.  Assuming no increase in the level of our variable debt outstanding at March 31, 2020 and after giving effect to our interest rate swap, if interest rates increased by 1.0% our cash flow related to hotel properties would decrease by approximately $1.3 million per year. 



ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Disclosure Controls and Procedures



An evaluation was performed under the supervision of management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the rules promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as

43

 


 

 

of March 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was (a) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (b) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.



Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting



There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially effected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal controls over financial reporting.



PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



Various claims and legal proceedings arise in the ordinary course of business and may be pending against the Company and its properties.  We are not currently involved in any material litigation, nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us.  The Company has insurance to cover potential material losses and we believe it is not reasonably possible that such matters will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.



On August 20, 2019, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company and each of the Company directors, operating partnership, NHT Parent, NHT Merger Sub and NHT Merger Op, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Graham v. Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-01552. The case was voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs on January 28, 2020.



A second putative class action complaint was filed on August 23, 2019 against the Company and each of the Company directors, the Operating Partnership, Parent, Merger Sub and Merger OP in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption Sabatini v. Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-01564. These complaints asserted claims, purportedly brought on behalf of a class of shareholders, under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 14a-9, and alleged that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Schedule 14A on August 9, 2019 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) contained materially incomplete and misleading disclosures. Each of the complaints sought, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining defendants from taking steps to consummate the proposed transactions and damages, along with fees and costs.  The case was voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs on January 28, 2020.



On August 26, 2019, a putative class action was filed against the Company and each of the Company’s directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption Raul v. Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-07968. The complaint asserted claims, purportedly brought on behalf of a class of shareholders, under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 14a-9 and alleged that the Preliminary Proxy Statement contained materially incomplete and misleading disclosures. The complaint sought, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining defendants from taking steps to consummate the proposed transaction and damages, along with fees and costs. The case was voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs on November 19, 2019.



Pursuant to a Confidential Memorandum of Understanding dated September 16, 2019 between the plaintiffs in the above three actions and the Company, if the parties do not resolve any claim for fees and expenses related to the dismissed actions, the plaintiff may assert claims for fees, if at all, in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware.



ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS



Other than the addition of the text below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

44

 


 

 



Changes in economic and industry conditions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and will continue to have, adverse effects on the hospitality industry, and thus our financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows for an indeterminate period of time, and the financial impact could negatively impact our future compliance with our debt covenants and result in a default and potential acceleration of our indebtedness.



There have been significant changes in business and economic conditions generally in the United States and in the hotel industry in particular as the COVID-19 pandemic crisis continues.   Financial markets have been disrupted and there has been an industry-wide significant falling off of hotel occupancies. 



The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, a sharp decline in group, business and leisure travel, including negative public perceptions of travel and public gatherings in light of the perceived risks associated with COVID-19.  The reduced economic activity could also result in an economic recession, and increased unemployment, which could negatively impact future lodging demand.  The potential negative impact on the health of our employees and hotel employees could result in a deterioration in operational performance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.



As with the hospitality industry, generally our occupancy rates for our hotels have been significantly declined, which reduces our revenue, results of operations and cash flows. As many others in the lodging industry have determined, we deemed it advisable and in the best business practice to cause temporary closures of two of our hotels located in Solomons, Maryland and Leawood, Kansas.  We continue to evaluate similar temporary closures of our hotels located in Lake Mary, Florida, San Antonio, Texas and Round Rock, Texas but as occupancies at these locations have increased slightly in late April and early May 2020, we have at this time refrained from temporarily closing these hotels.  We also continue to evaluate potential temporary closings of other hotels, based on specific market trends.



Lower occupancy and hotel closures reduce our revenues, results of operations and cash flows, and as a consequence we have sought and received certain accommodations from some of our lenders. The accommodations among such lenders varied and included waivers and modifications of certain debt covenants, temporary suspension of principal and interest payments, establishment of interest reserves for near term debt service payments, temporary suspension of accruing certain cash reserves on deposit, and temporary use of certain cash reserves on deposit.  We can provide no assurance that we would receive such or other accommodations from lenders if needed in the future.



Changes in economic and industry conditions relating to COVID-19 pandemic have had, and will continue to have, adverse effects on our financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows for an indeterminate period of time. The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with our debt covenants and result in a default and potential acceleration of our indebtedness.
