(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Ashford Prime”), is a Maryland corporation that invests primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), luxury ~~upper-upscale~~hotels and ~~upscale hotels in gateway and resort locations.~~resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by Smith Travel Research. Ashford Prime has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code. Ashford Prime conducts its business and owns substantially all of its assets through its operating partnership, Ashford Hospitality Prime Limited Partnership (“Ashford Prime OP”). In this report, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc. and, as the context may require, all entities included in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC” or the “Advisor”) through an advisory agreement. Ashford LLC is a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., which was spun-off from ~~and remains an affiliate of,~~ Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Ashford Trust”). All of the ~~hotels~~hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, together with its affiliates (“Remington Lodging”), which is beneficially wholly-owned by Mr. Monty J. Bennett, Chairman of our ~~Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,~~board of directors, and Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., ~~chairman emeritus~~Chairman Emeritus of Ashford Trust, managed ~~two~~three of our ~~eleven~~thirteen hotel properties. Third-party management companies managed the remaining hotel properties. On September 17, 2015, Remington Lodging and Ashford Inc. entered into an agreement pursuant to which Ashford Inc. will acquire all of the general partner interest and 80% of the limited partner interests in Remington Lodging. On April 12, 2016, Ashford Inc.’s stockholders approved the acquisition. On June 22, 2016 and on September 22, 2016, Ashford Inc. amended the agreement extending the date with respect to which Ashford Inc. and Remington Lodging have the right to terminate the agreement if the acquisition is not consummated to April 7, 2017. The acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, and if completed, will not impact our management agreements with Remington Lodging.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of such wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries of Ashford Prime OP that as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, own and operate ~~eleven hotels~~thirteen hotel properties in ~~six~~seven states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The portfolio includes ~~nine~~eleven wholly-owned hotel properties and two hotel properties that are owned through a partnership in which Ashford Prime OP has a controlling interest. These ~~hotels~~hotel properties represent ~~3,702~~3,975 total rooms, or ~~3,467~~3,740 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our partner. As a REIT, Ashford Prime needs to comply with limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code related to operating hotels. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016, ten~~2017, twelve of our ~~eleven~~thirteen hotel properties were leased by wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes (collectively the TRS entities are referred to as “Prime TRS”). One hotel property located in the U.S. Virgin Islands is owned by ~~a TRS entity.~~our U.S. Virgin Islands TRS. Prime TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the ~~hotels~~hotel properties under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to the hotel properties are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016, eight~~2017, ten of the thirteen hotel properties were leased by Ashford Prime’s wholly-owned TRS and two hotel properties majority-owned through a consolidated partnership were leased to a TRS wholly-owned by such consolidated partnership. Each leased hotel is leased under a percentage lease that provides for each lessee to pay in each calendar month the base rent plus, in each calendar quarter, percentage rent, if any, based on hotel revenues. Lease revenue from Prime TRS is eliminated in consolidation. The ~~hotels~~hotel properties are operated under management contracts with Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”), Accor Business and Leisure Management, LLC (“Accor”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”) and Remington Lodging, which are eligible independent contractors under the Internal Revenue Code.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned entities in which it has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2017.

~~thereto included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2016.~~

Ashford Prime OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance ~~(ii) an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed,~~ and ~~(iii)~~(ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Ashford Prime OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ashford Prime OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Ashford Prime OP.

The following items affect reporting comparability of our historical condensed consolidated financial statements:

Historical seasonality patterns at some of our properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

On July ~~9, 2015,~~1, 2016, we sold the Courtyard Seattle Downtown.

On March 31, 2017, we acquired the ~~Bardessono Hotel and~~Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, ~~(“Bardessono Hotel”)~~ and on ~~December 15, 2015,~~May 11, 2017, we acquired the ~~Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, USVI (“Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas”).~~Hotel Yountville. The operating results of these hotel properties ~~are~~have been included in our results of operations as of their acquisition dates.

~~On July 1, 2016, we sold the Courtyard Seattle Downtown.~~

Use of Estimates—The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash—Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes and insurance, as well as excess cash flow deposits and reserves for furniture, fixtures and equipment replacements of approximately 4% to 5% of property revenue for certain hotels, as required by certain management or mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions. We early adopted Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash effective January 1, 2017. See discussion in recently adopted accounting standards below.

Impairment of Investments in Hotel Properties—Hotel properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the hotel is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the hotel to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, which take into account current market conditions and our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the hotel. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the hotel is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the property’s net book value exceeds its estimated fair value, or fair value, less cost to sell. In evaluating the impairment of hotel properties, we make many assumptions and estimates, including projected cash flows, expected holding period and expected useful life. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including internally developed discounted cash flow models, comparable market transactions and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. ~~During~~For the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, we have not recorded any impairment charges.

Investment in ~~Unconsolidated Entity and~~ Ashford Inc.—We held an investment in an unconsolidated entity, in which we had an ownership interest of 45.3% that was accounted for under the equity method of accounting by recording the initial investment and our percentage of interest in the entity’s net income/loss. We liquidated our investment in June 2016. We reviewed the investment in unconsolidated entity for impairment in each reporting period pursuant to the applicable authoritative accounting guidance. An investment is impaired when its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of our investment. Any impairment is recorded in equity in loss in unconsolidated entity. No such impairment was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. We also hold approximately 195,000 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which represented an approximate ~~9.7%~~9.6% ownership interest in Ashford Inc. and had a fair value of ~~$9.3~~$9.9 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2017. This investment would typically be accounted for under the equity method of accounting, under Accounting ~~Standard~~Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323-10 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures since we exercise significant influence. However, we have elected to record our investment in Ashford Inc. using the fair value option under ASC 825-10 - Fair Value Option - Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

Our investments in certain unconsolidated entities are considered to be variable interests in the underlying entities. VIEs, as defined by authoritative accounting guidance, must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIEs activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, (ii) an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed, and (iii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Because we do not have the power and financial responsibility to direct the unconsolidated entities’ activities and operations, we are not considered to be the primary beneficiary of these entities on an ongoing

~~basis, and therefore such entities should not be consolidated. In evaluating VIEs, our analysis involves considerable management judgment and assumptions.~~

Revenue Recognition—Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage and ancillary revenues such as long-distance telephone service, laundry, parking and space rentals, are recognized when services have been rendered. Taxes collected from customers and submitted to taxing authorities are not recorded in revenue.

Equity-Based Compensation—Stock/unit-based compensation for non-employees is accounted for at fair value based on the market price of the shares at period end in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance that results in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee” and “management fees,” equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Performance stock units (“PSUs”) and performance-based Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units granted to certain executive officers are accounted for at fair value at period end based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model that results in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee,” equal to the fair value of the

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards—In ~~February 2015,~~November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ~~Accounting Standard Update~~ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“~~ASU”~~ASU 2016-18”) ~~2015-02,~~ ~~Amendments to~~, which clarifies the ~~Consolidation Analysis~~ (“presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows. Under ASU ~~2015-02”). The~~2016-18 restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. ASU amends the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners’ investments in limited partnerships and modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities. The ASU2016-18 is effective for ~~interim and annual reporting periods~~fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2015, with early~~2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We ~~have~~ adopted this standard effective January 1, ~~2016, and the~~2017 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard ~~did not have an impact~~resulted in the inclusion of restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on ~~our financial position, results~~the statements of ~~operations or~~ cash ~~flows.~~flows for all periods presented. As a result net cash provided by operating activities increased $13.7 million and net cash provided by investing activities decreased $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Our beginning-of-period cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $37.9 million and $33.1 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards—In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model, which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The update will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date to fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has also issued additional updates that further clarify the requirements of Topic 606 and provide implementation guidance. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are ~~evaluating~~continuing to evaluate the effect ~~that ASU 2014-09 will have~~of the standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements, including as it pertains to accounting for real estate sales, and ~~related disclosures. We~~continue to evaluate the available transition methods. However, we have not yet selected a transition method.

~~In August 2014, the FASB issued~~ Based on our initial and ongoing assessment of ASU ~~2014-15,~~ ~~Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern~~ (“ASU 2014-15”), to provide guidance on management's responsibility to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 also requires certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which requires an entity to: (i) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (ii) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (iii) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (iv) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price and; (v) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of ~~AFS~~available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes. It also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain provisions of ASU 2016-01 are eligible for early adoption. We ~~are evaluating the impact~~do not expect that ASU 2016-01 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense

A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. WeThe accounting for leases under which we are ~~evaluating~~the lessor remains largely unchanged. While we are currently in the initial stages of assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements, we expect the primary impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our future minimum rentals due under noncancelable leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of ROU assets and ~~related disclosures.~~lease obligations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). The ASU sets forth an “expected credit loss” impairment model to replace the current “incurred loss” method of recognizing credit losses. The standard requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets held. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ~~The Company is~~We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments - a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-15”). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. Certain issues addressed in this guidance include - ~~Debt~~debt payments or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investments and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of an asset or a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. While we are currently evaluating the potential impact of the standard, we currently expect that certain future hotel acquisitions may be considered asset acquisitions rather than business combinations, which would affect capitalization of acquisitions costs (such costs are expensed for business combinations and capitalized for asset acquisitions).

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets(ASU “2017-05”), which clarifies the scope of ASC Subtopic 610-20,Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assetsand adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.Early adoption is permitted. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2017-05 under a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2017-05 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 (“ASU 2017-09”), Scope of Modification Accounting, which amended Accounting Standards Code Topic 718. Presently, ASC 718, Stock Compensation, defines a modification as “a change in any of the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.” The definition is broad and its interpretation in practice results in diversity as to whether a change to the terms or conditions of an award is substantive. Under ASU 2017-09, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if all of the following remain unchanged immediately before and after the change of terms and conditions: (1) the award’s fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if those measurement methods are used), (2) the award’s vesting conditions and (3) the award’s classification as an equity or liability instrument. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2017-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Park Hyatt Beaver Creek

On ~~December 15, 2015,~~March 31, 2017, we acquired a 100% interest in the ~~Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas~~Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa in ~~St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands~~Beaver Creek, Colorado for total consideration of ~~$64.0~~$145.5 million. ~~Subsequent to~~Concurrent with the ~~close~~closing of the ~~transaction,~~acquisition, we completed the financing of a ~~$42.0~~$67.5 million mortgage loan. See note 7.

We prepared athe purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation was ~~prepared~~completed with the assistance of a ~~third-party~~third party appraisal firm during the three months ended ~~March 31, 2016.~~June 30, 2017. The final purchase price allocation resulted in adjustments to land, buildings and improvements and furniture, fixtures and ~~equipment, which resulted~~equipment. These adjustments did not result in ~~a $25,000 increase in~~any changes to depreciation expense ~~for~~as the ~~three months ended~~acquisition closed on March 31, ~~2016.~~2017. This valuation is considered a Level 3 valuation technique.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired in the acquisition (in thousands):

The results of operations of the hotel property have been included in our results of operations since the acquisition date. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we have included total revenue of $4.9 million and net loss of $2.0 million, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016 are included below under “Pro Forma Financial Results.”

Hotel Yountville

On May 11, 2017, we acquired a 100% interest in the Hotel Yountville in Yountville, California for total consideration of $96.5 million. Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, we completed the financing of a $51.0 million mortgage loan. See note 7.

We have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a preliminary basis using estimated fair value information currently available. We are in the process of evaluating the values assigned to investment in hotel property, property level working capital balances and intangibles. This valuation is considered a Level 3 valuation technique. Thus, the balances reflected below are subject to change, and any such changes could result in adjustments to the allocation. Any change to the amounts recorded within the investments in hotel properties or intangibles will also impact depreciation and amortization expense.

~~AQUA U.S. Fund~~

In June 2015, for consideration of certain marketable securities, we obtained a 45.3% ownership interest in the AQUA U.S. Fund, previously named the REHE Fund. The AQUA U.S. Fund is managed by Ashford Investment Management, LLC (“AIM”), an indirect subsidiary of Ashford Inc. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the AQUA U.S. Fund was consolidated by Ashford Inc. The AQUA U.S. Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Ashford Quantitative Alternatives Master Fund, LP (the “Master Fund”), previously named the AIM Real Estate Hedged Equity Master Fund, LP, and as a consequence of our investment in the AQUA U.S. Fund, we obtained an indirect interest in the Master Fund. Our maximum exposure of loss is limited to our investment in the AQUA U.S. Fund.

During the second quarter of 2016, we liquidated our investment in the AQUA U.S. Fund subject to a 5% hold back which is expected to be paid upon completion of the audit of the AQUA U.S. Fund’s financial statements, or sooner at the general partner’s discretion. As of September 30, 2016, we held a receivable from the AQUA U.S. Fund of $2.3 million, included in Due to Ashford Inc. on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

9. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Derivatives—We are exposed to risks arising from our business operations, economic conditions and financial markets. To manage these risks, we primarily use interest rate derivatives to hedge our debt and our cash flows. The interest rate derivatives include interest rate caps and interest rate floors, which are subject to master netting settlement arrangements. All derivatives are recorded at fair value.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2017, we entered into interest rate caps with notional amounts totaling $619.5 million and strike rates ranging from 3.00% to 5.35%. These interest rate caps have effective dates from January 2017 to May 2017, maturity dates from March 2018 to May 2019, and a total cost of $338,000. These instruments were not designated as cash flow hedges.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, concurrent with the extension of our $80.0 million mortgage loan, we extended our existing interest rate cap with a notional amount of $80.0 million, maturity date of March 2017 and a strike rate of 5.78% for a total cost of $5,000. This instrument was not designated as a cash flow hedge.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we entered into an interest rate cap with a notional amount and strike rate of $56.0 million and 4.50%, respectively, which had an effective date of March 2015, a maturity date of March 2017 and a total cost of $8,000. The instrument was not designated as a cash flow hedge. This instrument caps the interest rate on our mortgage loan with a principal balance of $70.0 million and a maturity date of March 2017. We also entered into two interest rate floors with an aggregate notional amount and strike rate of $3.0 billion and -0.25%, respectively, effective dates of July 2015 and maturity dates of July 2020, for a total cost of $3.5 million.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, we ~~had~~held interest rate caps with notional amounts totaling ~~$368.0~~$847.5 million and strike rates ranging from 2.00% to ~~5.78%~~5.43%. These instruments ~~had~~cap the interest rates on our mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $906.9 million and maturity dates from December 2017 to May 2022. These instruments have maturity dates ranging from December ~~2016~~2017 to ~~January 2018.~~May 2019. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, we ~~had~~held interest rate floors with notional amounts totaling $3.0 billion and a strike ~~rates~~rate of -0.25%~~. These instruments each has~~ and a maturity date of July 2020.

Options on Futures Contracts—During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2016, we purchased ~~an option~~options on Eurodollar futures for a total cost of $124,000 and a maturity date of June 2017. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2015,~~2017, we ~~purchased options on Eurodollar futures for total costs~~made no such purchases.

10. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy—Our financial instruments measured at fair value either on a recurring or a non-recurring basis are classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three levels based on the observability of inputs in the market place as discussed below:

Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets.

Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rates of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (LIBOR forward curves) and volatilities (the Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (the Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk.

The fair value of interest rate floors is calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. These expected future cash flows are probability-weighted projections based on the contract terms, accounting for both the magnitude and likelihood of potential payments, which are both computed using the appropriate LIBOR forward curve and market implied volatilities as of the valuation date (Level 2 inputs).

The fair value of options on futures contracts is determined based on the last reported settlement price as of the measurement date (Level 1 inputs). These exchange-traded options are centrally cleared, and a clearinghouse stands in between all trades to ensure that the obligations involved in the trades are satisfied.

When a majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, when the valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counter-parties, which we consider significant (10% or more) to the overall valuation of our derivatives, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Transfers of inputs between levels are determined at the end of each reporting period.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. These financial assets have maturities of less than 90 days and most bear interest at market rates. The carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.

Accounts receivable, net, due from AQUA U.S. Fund, due from related party, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses, dividends and distributions payable, due to/from Ashford Trust OP, net, due to Ashford Inc., due to affiliate and due to/from third-party hotel managers. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.

Note receivable. Fair value of the note receivable was determined by using similar loans with similar collateral. Since there is very little to no trading activity, we relied on our internal analysis of what we believe a willing buyer would pay for this note at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. We estimated the fair value of the note receivable to be approximately ~~8.3%~~3.1% to ~~19.7%~~13.9% higher than the carrying value of $8.1 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 and approximately ~~13.1%~~5.1% to ~~25.0%~~16.2% higher than the carrying value of $8.1 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. This is considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

Investment in Ashford Inc. Fair value of the investment in Ashford Inc. is based on the quoted closing price on the balance sheet date. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.

Derivative assets. Fair value of the interest rate derivatives is determined using the net present value of the expected cash flows of each derivative based on the market-based interest rate curve and adjusted for credit spreads of us and the counterparties. Fair value of interest rate floors is calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. The fair values of options on futures contracts are valued at their last ~~reported settlement price as of the measurement date. See notes 2, 9 and 10 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values.~~

reported settlement price as of the measurement date. See notes 2, 9 and 10 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values.

Indebtedness. Fair value of indebtedness is determined using future cash flows discounted at current replacement rates for these instruments. Cash flows are determined using a forward interest rate yield curve. The current replacement rates are determined by using the U.S. Treasury yield curve or the index to which these financial instruments are tied, and adjusted for the credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and collateral. We estimated the fair value of the total indebtedness to be approximately ~~94.9%~~94.3% to ~~104.9%~~104.3% of the carrying value of ~~$768.9~~$915.0 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 and approximately ~~95.3%~~94.8% to ~~105.4%~~104.7% of the carrying value of ~~$840.2~~$767.0 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. This is considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

12. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity and their allocable share of equity in earnings/losses of Ashford Prime OP, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unitholders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (“common units”) and units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP units”) that are vested. Beginning one year after issuance, each common unit may be redeemed, by the holder, for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common ~~stock.~~stock, which is either (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement.

LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, have vesting periods of three years. Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election, settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for our operating partnership.

~~On June 8, 2015, the~~The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company ~~approved~~approves performance-based LTIP units to certain executive ~~officers.~~officers from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of ~~approximately 195,000~~ performance-based LTIP units that will be settled in common units of the Ashford Prime OP, if and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service ~~period, which began on January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2017.~~period. The target number of performance-based LTIP units may be adjusted from 0% to 200% of the target number based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee on the grant date. AAs of June 30, 2017, a total of ~~389,000~~983,000 performance-based LTIP units representing 200% of the target were issued. The performance criteria for the performance-based LTIP units are based on market conditions under the relevant literature, and the performance-based LTIP units were granted to non-employees.

The unamortized fair value of performance-based LTIP units of $1.9 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 will be expensed over a period of ~~1.25 years.

Among other remedies, the Texas Federal Action seeks to enjoin Sessa from proceeding with its proxy contest. The outcome of this action is pending.

Sessa’s proposed director nominees to stand for election at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. On March 14, 2016, Sessa removed the Texas State Action from state court to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas with Cause No. 16-cv-00713. The outcome of this action is pending.

On March 14, 2016, Sessa filed counterclaims and a motion for a preliminary injunction in the Texas Federal Action. These counterclaims include substantially the same claims as previously asserted by Sessa in the Maryland Action, and also allege that the directors of Ashford Prime breached their fiduciary dutiescommitted corporate waste in connection with ~~the approval~~Ashford Prime’s purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock for issuance and the February 2016 amendments to the Amended Partnership Agreement (as defined below). Among other things, Sessa seeks an injunction prohibiting the issuance of175,000 shares of ~~Series C Preferred Stock~~Ashford Inc. common stock. The complaint seeks monetary damages and requiring the board to approve the Sessa candidates, or in the alternative, prohibiting the solicitation of proxies until the board approves the Sessa candidates. On April 2, 2016, Sessa amended its counterclaims allegingdeclaratory and injunctive relief, including a declaration that the ~~Company had violated federal proxy solicitation laws by, among other things, stating that Sessa had not complied with~~termination fee provision is unenforceable.

On ~~April~~June 6, ~~2016,~~2017, the Court granted expedited discovery in connection with Sessa’s motion for preliminary injunction and the Company’s anticipated motion for preliminary injunction in the Texas State Action. On April 8, 2016, the Companyplaintiff notified the court that ~~Sessa’s claims relating~~the plaintiff intends to dismiss the action as moot and seek a mootness fee and costs. On July 25, 2017, the action was dismissed with prejudice as to the ~~Series C Preferred Stock were moot after~~plaintiff. A hearing on the ~~Company unwound the OP Unit enfranchisement preferred equity transaction~~plaintiff’s fee petition has been scheduled for the Company’s OP unitholders. On April 13, 2016, the Company filed its motion for preliminary injunction seeking an order declaring that Sessa’s slate of nominees is invalid and enjoining Sessa from submitting the nominees to stockholders for election to the board. On May 20, 2016, the court denied Sessa’s motion for a preliminary injunction and granted the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction. Sessa appealed the district court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on May 23, 2016. Sessa’s appeal is fully briefed and the court heard oral argument on August 2, 2016. Sessa currently has no claims for monetary damages, but it seeks reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and costs.October 25, 2017.

We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss ~~for~~from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within ~~the~~ contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible and to probable. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect ~~upon the~~on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

16. Segment Reporting

We operate in one business segment within the hotel lodging industry: direct hotel investments. Direct hotel investments refer to owning hotel properties through either acquisition or new development. We report operating results of direct hotel investments on an aggregate basis as substantially all of our hotel investments have similar economic characteristics and exhibit similar long-term financial performance. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories.

17. Related Party Transactions

Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., acts as our advisor, and as a result, we pay advisory fees to Ashford LLC. We are required to pay Ashford LLC a quarterly base fee that is a percentage of our total market capitalization on a declining sliding scale plus the Key Money Asset Management Fee (defined in our advisory agreement as the aggregate gross asset value of all key money assets multiplied by 0.70%), subject to a minimum quarterly base fee, as payment for managing our day-to-day operations in accordance with our investment guidelines. Total market capitalization includes the aggregate principal amount of our consolidated indebtedness (including our proportionate share of debt of any entity that is not consolidated but excluding our joint venture partners’ proportionate share of consolidated debt). Prior to the effectiveness of the amended and restated advisory agreement discussed below, the range of base fees on the scale was between 0.70% and 0.50% per annum for total market capitalization that

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

ranges from less than $6.0 billion to greater than $10.0 billion. Upon effectiveness the quarterly base fee is fixed at 0.70%. We are also required to pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee that is ~~based on~~earned annually by Ashford LLC in each year that our annual total stockholder return ~~performance as compared to~~exceeds the average annual total stockholder return for our peer group, subject to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) Condition, as ~~well as to~~defined in the advisory agreement. We also reimburse Ashford LLC for certain reimbursable overhead and internal audit, insurance claims advisory and asset management services, as specified in the advisory agreement. We also record equity-based compensation expense for equity grants of common stock and LTIP units awarded to our officers and employees of Ashford LLC in connection with providing advisory services equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period.

On January 24, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement with Ashford Inc. (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) that amends and restates our advisory agreement discussed herein. On June 9, 2017, our stockholders approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement which became effective on June 21, 2017. The material terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement include:

we made a cash payment to Ashford LLC of $5.0 million on June 21, 2017, which is included in “contract modification cost” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, at which time the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement became effective;

the termination fee payable to Ashford LLC has been amended by eliminating the 1.1x multiplier and tax gross up components of the fee;

Ashford Inc. will disclose publicly the revenues and expenses used to calculate “Net Earnings” on a quarterly basis which is used to calculate the termination fee; Ashford LLC will retain an accounting firm to provide a quarterly report to us on the reasonableness of Ashford LLC’s determination of expenses, which will be binding on the parties;

the right of Ashford LLC to appoint a “Designated CEO” has been eliminated;

the right of Ashford LLC to terminate the advisory agreement due to a change in a majority of the “Company Incumbent Board” (as defined in the current advisory agreement) has been eliminated;

we will be incentivized to grow our assets under a “growth covenant” in the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement under which we will receive a deemed credit against a base amount of $45.0 million for: 3.75% of the total purchase price of each hotel acquired after the date of the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement that was recommended by Ashford LLC, netted against 3.75% of the total sale price of each hotel sold after the date of the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. The difference between $45.0 million and such net credit, if any, is referred to as the “Uninvested Amount.” If the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement is terminated, other than due to certain acts by Ashford LLC, we must pay Ashford LLC the Uninvested Amount, in addition to any termination fee payable under the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement;

the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement requires us to maintain a net worth of not less than $390 million plus 75% of the equity proceeds from the sale of securities by us after December 31, 2016 and a covenant prohibiting us from paying dividends except as required to maintain our REIT status if paying the dividend would reduce our net worth below the required minimum net worth;

the initial term of the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement ends on the 10th anniversary of its effective date, subject to renewal by Ashford LLC for up to seven additional successive 10-year terms;

the base management fee payable to Ashford LLC will be fixed at 0.70%, and the fee will be payable on a monthly basis;

reimbursements of expenses to Ashford LLC will be made monthly in advance, based on an annual expense budget, with a quarterly true-up for actual expenses;

our right to terminate the advisory agreement due to a change of control of Ashford LLC has been eliminated;

our rights to terminate the advisory agreement at the end of each term upon payment of the termination fee based on the parties being unable to agree on new market-based fees or advisor’s performance have been eliminated; however, the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement provides a mechanism for the parties to renegotiate the fees payable to Ashford LLC at the end of each term based on then prevailing market conditions, subject to floors and caps on the changes;

if a Change of Control (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement) is pending, we have agreed to deposit not less than 50%, and in certain cases 100%, of the applicable termination fee in escrow, with the payment of any remaining amounts owed to Ashford LLC secured by a letter of credit and/or first priority lien on certain assets;

our ability to terminate the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement due to a material default by Ashford LLC is limited to instances where a court finally determines that the default had a material adverse effect on us and Ashford LLC fails to pay monetary damages in accordance with the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement; and

if we repudiate the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement through actions or omissions that constitute a repudiation as determined by a final non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction, we will be liable to Ashford LLC for a liquidated damages amount.

The Amended PSU Agreement replaces the Original PSU Agreement under which PSUs were granted to certain officers on June 8, 2015. The Amended PSU Agreement and the Amended LTIP Agreement modified certain provisions of the Original PSU Agreement and the Original LTIP Agreement, respectively, and do not represent a grant of new awards.

Furthermore, the Company amended the Original PSU Agreement to clarify that the grant of PSUs will be made in connection with the participant’s service to the Company only and not to Ashford Inc. and/or their respective affiliates.

We became a public company on November 19, 2013 when Ashford Trust, a NYSE-listed REIT, completed the spin-off of our company through the distribution of our outstanding common stock to the Ashford Trust stockholders. We invest primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), luxury ~~upper-upscale~~hotels and ~~upscale hotels.~~resorts.

Two times the U.S. national average was ~~$157~~$162 for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code beginning in the year ended December 31, 2013. We conduct our business and own substantially all of our assets through our operating partnership, Ashford Prime OP.

We are advised by Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., ~~and an affiliate of the Company and Ashford Trust,~~ through an advisory agreement.

Key Indicators of Operating Performance

We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as other financial measures that are non-GAAP measures. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the operating performance of our individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or business as a whole. We also use these metrics to evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions to determine each hotel’s contribution to cash flow and its potential to provide attractive long-term total returns. These key indicators include:

Occupancy-Occupancy means the total number of hotel rooms sold in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity. We use occupancy to measure demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period.

ADR-ADR means average daily rate and is calculated by dividing total hotel rooms revenues by total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. We use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate.

RevPAR-RevPAR means revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying ADR by the average daily occupancy. RevPAR is one of the commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate hotel operations. RevPAR does not include revenues from food and beverage sales or parking, telephone or other non-rooms revenues generated by the property. Although RevPAR does not include these ancillary revenues, it is generally considered the leading indicator of core revenues for many hotels. We also use RevPAR to compare the results of our hotels between periods and to analyze results of our comparable hotels (comparable hotels represent hotels we have owned for the entire period).

RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in occupancy are generally accompanied by increases in most categories of variable operating costs. RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in ADR are generally accompanied by increases in limited categories of operating costs, such as management fees and franchise fees.

RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities and room supplies) and could also result in increased other operating department revenue and expense. Changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not have a substantial effect on variable operating costs.

Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our entire business. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a regional and company-wide basis. ADR and RevPAR include only rooms revenue. Rooms revenue comprised approximately ~~74.2%~~68.5% and ~~71.5%~~68.9% of our total hotel revenue for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively, and is dictated by demand (as measured by occupancy), pricing (as measured by ADR) and our available supply of hotel rooms.

We also use funds from operations (“FFO”), Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of the operating performance of our business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotels, including:

advisory fees payable to Ashford LLC;

recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our ~~hotels~~hotel properties in accordance with brand standards;

interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, including our secured revolving credit facility (see “Contractual Obligations and Commitments”);

distributions, in the form of dividends on our common stock, necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT;

dividends on preferred stock; and

capital expenditures to improve our hotels.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional ~~hotels~~hotel properties and redevelopments, renovations, expansions and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically with respect to our ~~hotels~~hotel properties and scheduled debt payments. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including our secured revolving credit facility and future equity and preferred equity issuances, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, hotel mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings. However, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity and market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources.

Our ~~hotels~~hotel properties will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. In addition, acquisitions, redevelopments or expansions of ~~hotels~~hotel properties may require significant capital outlays. We may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions or hotel redevelopment through retained earnings is very limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Certain of our loan agreements contain cash trap provisions that may be triggered if the performance of our ~~hotels~~hotel properties decline. When these provisions are triggered, substantially all of the profit generated by our ~~hotels~~hotel properties is deposited directly

into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders. Cash is not distributed to us at any time after the cash trap provisions have been triggered until we have cured the performance issues. Currently, none of the cash trap provisions of our loans are triggered.

In connection with our spin-off from Ashford Trust, we indemnified Ashford Trust for certain carve-out guarantees and environmental indemnities associated with three of our loans, for which Ashford Trust is still jointly and severally liable. Certain of these guarantees represent a guaranty of material amounts, and if we are required to make indemnification payments under those guarantees, our liquidity could be adversely affected.

On October 27, 2014, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The specific timing, manner, price, amount and other terms of the repurchases are at management’s discretion and depend on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company is not required to repurchase shares under the repurchase program, and may modify, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time for any reason. On April 8, 2016, our board of directors authorized utilizing up to $50 million to repurchase common stock. No shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, pursuant to this authorization. As of ~~September 30, 2016, we repurchased 2.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $39.0 million. As of November 7, 2016,~~August 4, 2017, we have purchased a cumulative 4.3 million shares of our common stock, for approximately $63.2 million, since the program’s inception on November 4, 2014.

On January 18, 2017, the Company refinanced three mortgage loans with existing outstanding balances totaling approximately $333.7 million. The previous mortgage loans that were refinanced had final maturity dates in April ~~26, 2016, in connection~~2017. The new mortgage loan totals $365.0 million and has stated maturity of February 2019 with five one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan is interest only and provides for a ~~previously announced required~~floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.58%. The mortgage loan is secured by five hotel properties: Plano Marriott Legacy Town Center, Seattle Marriott Waterfront, Tampa Renaissance, San Francisco Courtyard Downtown and Philadelphia Courtyard Downtown.

On March 7, 2017, we closed an offering of approximately 2.0 million shares of our Series B ~~preferred stock~~Preferred Stock at $20.19 per share for gross proceeds of $39.9 million. The net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and offering

~~includes accrued and unpaid dividends since April 15, 2016.~~ expenses were approximately $38.2 million. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock ~~will~~ accrue at a rate of 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. ~~The offering~~On March 31, 2017, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 100,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, which closed on April ~~29, 2016.~~5, 2017. The net proceeds from the ~~sale~~partial exercise of the ~~shares~~over-allotment option after underwriting discounts ~~and commissions~~ were approximately ~~$4.2~~$1.9 million.

On March 31, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, we completed the financing of a $67.5 million loan. This loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.75%. The stated maturity date of the mortgage loan is April 2019, with three one-year extension options. The mortgage loan is secured by the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek.

On May 11, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of Hotel Yountville, we completed the financing of a $51.0 million loan. This loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.55%. The stated maturity date of the mortgage loan is May 2022. The mortgage loan is secured by the Hotel Yountville.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility

We have a three-year, ~~$150 million~~senior secured revolving credit facility ~~which we~~in the amount of $100 million. It includes $15 million available in letters of credit and $15 million available in swingline loans. We believe ~~provides~~the secured revolving credit facility will provide us with significant financial flexibility to fund future acquisitions and hotel redevelopments.

The secured ~~revolving~~ credit facility is provided by a syndicate of financial institutions with Bank of America, N.A., serving as the administrative agent to Ashford Prime OP, as the borrower. We and certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the secured revolving credit facility, which is secured by a pledge of 100% of the equity interests we hold in Ashford Prime OP and 100% of the equity interest issued by any guarantor (other than Ashford Prime) or any other subsidiary of ours that is not restricted under its loan documents or organizational documents from having its equity pledged (subject to certain exclusions), all mortgage receivables held by the borrower or any guarantor, and certain deposit accounts and securities accounts held by the borrower and any guarantor. The proceeds of the secured revolving credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and any other lawful purposes.

The secured revolving credit facility also contains customary terms, covenants, negative covenants, events of default, limitations and other conditions for credit facilities of this type. Subject to certain exceptions, we are subject to restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, sales or other dispositions of property, changes in the nature of our business, investments, and capital expenditures.

We also are subject to certain financial covenants, as set forth below, which are tested by the borrower on a consolidated basis (net of the amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest held by our partner in a majority-owned consolidated entity) and include, but are not limited to, the following:

Consolidated indebtedness (less cash and cash equivalents and amounts represented by marketable securities) to EBITDA not to exceed ~~6.25x~~6.00x initially, with such ratio being reduced beginning October 1, 2017 to 5.75x and beginning ~~September 30, 2016~~October 1, 2019 to 5.75x; provided, however, that a one-time allowance will be made if we are out of compliance with such covenant by an amount of 0.50x for the first three fiscal quarters following a significant acquisition occurring after November 30, 2014. This5.50x. Our ratio was ~~5.69x~~5.89x at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

Consolidated recourse indebtedness other than the secured revolving credit facility not to exceed $50,000,000.

Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio not less than ~~1.35x.~~1.40x initially, with such ratio being increased beginning October 1, 2017 to 1.50x. This ratio was ~~1.74x~~2.00x at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

Indebtedness of the consolidated parties that accrues interest at a variable rate (other than the secured revolving credit facility) that is not subject to a “cap,” “collar,” or other similar arrangement not to exceed 25% of consolidated indebtedness.

Consolidated tangible net worth not less than 75% of the consolidated tangible net worth on the closing date of the secured revolving credit facility plus 75% of the net proceeds of any future equity issuances.

Secured debt that is secured by real property (excluding the eight hotels we acquired in connection with the spin-off) not to exceed 70% of the as-is appraised value of such real property.

All financial covenants are tested and certified by the borrower on a quarterly ~~basis.We~~basis. We were in compliance with all covenants at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

The secured revolving credit facility includes customary events of default, and the occurrence of an event of default will permit the lenders to terminate commitments to lend under the secured revolving credit facility and accelerate payment of all amounts outstanding thereunder. If a default occurs and is continuing, we will be precluded from making distributions on our shares of common stock (other than those required to allow us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, so long as such default does not arise from a payment default or event of insolvency).

Borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at either LIBOR for a designated interest period plus an applicable margin, or the base rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility for base rate loans range from 1.25% to ~~2.75%~~2.50% per annum and the applicable margin for borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility for LIBOR loans range from 2.25% to ~~3.75%~~3.50% per annum, depending on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA described above, with the lowest rate applying if such ratio is less than 4x, and the highest rate applying if such ratio is greater than 6.5x.

The secured revolving credit facility is a three-year interest-only facility with all outstanding principal being due at maturity on November ~~21, 2016,~~10, 2019, subject to two one-year extension options if certain terms and conditions are satisfied. The secured revolving credit facility has an accordion feature whereby the aggregate commitments may be increased up to ~~$300~~$250 million, subject to certain terms and conditions and a 0.25% extension fee. No amounts were drawn under the secured revolving credit facility as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~

2017.

We intend to repay indebtedness incurred under our secured revolving credit facility from time to time out of net cash provided by operations and from the net proceeds of issuances of additional equity and debt securities, as market conditions permit.

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, we had ~~$128.6~~$129.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to ~~$105.0~~$126.8 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

Seasonality

Our properties’ operations historically have been seasonal as certain properties maintain higher occupancy rates during the summer months and some during the winter months. This seasonality pattern can cause fluctuations in our quarterly lease revenue under our percentage leases. We anticipate that our cash flows from the operations of our properties and cash on hand will be sufficient to enable us to make quarterly distributions to maintain our REIT status. To the extent that cash flows from operations and cash on hand are insufficient during any quarter due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, we expect to utilize borrowings to fund distributions required to maintain our REIT status. However, we cannot make any assurances that we will make distributions in the future.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There have been no material changes since December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, outside of the ordinary course of business, to contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations included in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our ~~2015~~2016 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we may form or invest in partnerships or joint ventures. We evaluate each partnership and joint venture to determine whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the entity is determined to be a VIE we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary and need to consolidate the entity. For further discussion see note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies that are critical or most important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations and that require management to make the most difficult judgments are described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our ~~2015~~2016 10-K. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following non-GAAP presentations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO are made to help our investors evaluate our operating performance.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to the Company before interest expense and amortization of loan costs, interest income, ~~income taxes,~~ depreciation and amortization, income taxes and redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership. We adjust EBITDA to exclude certain additional items such as ~~write-off of loan costs and exit fees, strategic alternatives and other deal costs, transaction costs, gain on sale of hotel property and non-cash items such as~~ amortization of favorable (unfavorable) contract assets (liabilities), transaction and management conversion costs, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs, contract modification cost, software implementation costs and non-cash items such as other (income) expense, unrealized (gain) loss on investments, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, ~~other (income) expense, non-employee~~ stock/unit-based compensation and the Company’s portion of unrealized (gain) loss of investment in securities investment fund. Unless otherwise indicated, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude amounts attributable to the portion of a partnership owned by the third party. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they reflect more accurately the ongoing performance of our hotel assets and other investments and provide more useful information to investors as they are indicators of our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, working capital requirements and they provide an overall evaluation of our financial condition. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reported by other companies that do not define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exactly as we define the terms. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP as an indicator of liquidity.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands) (unaudited):

We calculate FFO and AFFO in the following table. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by NAREIT, which is net income (loss) attributable to the Company, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of properties and extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined by GAAP. Our calculation of AFFO excludes preferred dividends, ~~strategic alternatives~~transaction and ~~other deal costs, transaction~~management conversion costs, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs, contract modification cost, software implementation costs and non-cash items such as other (income) expense, unrealized (gain) loss on investments, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, ~~other (income) expense, non-employee~~ stock/unit-based compensation and the Company’s portion of unrealized (gain) loss of investment in securities investment fund. FFO and AFFO exclude amounts attributable to the portion of a partnership owned by the third party. We consider FFO and AFFO to be appropriate measures of our ongoing normalized operating performance as a REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that either do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or GAAP cash flows

from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. FFO and AFFO are also not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. However, to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, we believe that FFO and AFFO should be considered along with our net income or loss and cash flows reported in the ~~consolidated and combined~~condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO (in thousands) (unaudited):

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings under our debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates that fluctuate with market interest rates. To the extent that we acquire assets or conduct operations in an international jurisdiction, we will also have currency exchange risk. We may enter into certain hedging arrangements in order to manage interest rate and currency fluctuations. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, our total indebtedness of ~~$768.9~~$915.0 million included ~~$425.4~~$906.9 million of variable-rate debt. The impact on the results of operations of a 25-basis point change in interest rate on the outstanding balance of variable-rate debt at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, would be approximately ~~$1.1~~$2.3 million per year. Interest rate changes will have no impact on the remaining ~~$343.5~~$8.1 million of fixed rate debt.

The above amounts were determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings and assume no changes in our capital structure. The information presented above includes those exposures that existed at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2017, but it does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Accordingly, the information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies at the time, and the related interest rates.

We have entered into interest rate floors with an aggregate notional amount and strike rate of $3.0 billion and -0.25%, respectively for an initial total upfront cost of $3.5 million. Our total exposure is capped at our initial total cost of $3.5 million.

We These instruments have ~~purchased options on Eurodollar futures to hedge our cash flow risk for total costs~~a maturity date of $496,000. Eurodollar futures prices reflect market expectations for interest rates on three month Eurodollar deposits for specific dates in the future, and the final settlement price is determined by three-month LIBOR on the last trading day. Options on Eurodollar futures provide the ability to limit losses while maintaining the possibility of profiting from favorable changes in the futures prices. As the purchaser, our maximum potential loss is limited to the initial premium paid for the Eurodollar option contracts, while our potential gain has no limit. These exchange-traded options are centrally cleared, and a clearinghouse stands in between all trades to ensure that the obligations involved in the trades are satisfied.July 2020.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2017 (“Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

~~Sessa Litigation~~

Jesse Small v. Monty J. Bennett, et al., Case No. 24-C-16006020 (Md. Cir. Ct.) On ~~February 3,~~November 16, 2016, ~~Sessa Capital (Master), L.P. (“Sessa”) filed an~~Jesse Small, a purported shareholder of Ashford Prime, commenced a derivative action ~~(the “Maryland Action”)~~ in ~~the~~Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City ~~Maryland, captioned~~ ~~Sessa Capital (Master) L.P. v. Bennett, et al., Case No. 24-C-16-000557 (Baltimore City Cir. Ct. 2016),~~asserting causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and declaratory relief against ~~Ashford Prime,~~ the members of the Ashford Prime board of directors, David Brooks (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”), Ashford ~~LLC~~Inc. and Ashford ~~Inc.~~LLC. Ashford Prime is named as a nominal defendant. The ~~Maryland Action generally alleged~~complaint alleges that the ~~directors of Ashford Prime~~Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Ashford Prime by negotiating and approving the termination fee provision set forth in ~~connection with the June Amendments to the Company’s~~Ashford Prime’s advisory agreement with Ashford ~~LLC. The Maryland Action also alleged~~LLC, that Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC aided and abetted ~~those~~the Individual Defendants’ fiduciary duty breaches, ~~of fiduciary duties. On February 29, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Maryland Action. On March 14, 2016, Sessa voluntarily dismissed the Maryland Action.~~

injunction and granted the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction. Sessa appealed the district court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on May 23, 2016. Sessa’s appeal is fully briefed and the court heard oral argument on August 2, 2016. Sessa currently has no claims for monetary damages, but it seeks reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and costs.October 25, 2017.

We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible and to probable. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.


ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

The discussion of our business and operations ~~and risk factors discussed in this report~~ should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our ~~2015~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies, or prospects in a material and adverse manner. At June 30, 2017, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.


ITEM 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

On October 27, 2014, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The specific timing, manner, price, amount and other terms of the repurchases is at management’s discretion and depends on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company is not required to repurchase shares under the repurchase program, and may modify, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time for any reason. On April 8, 2016, our board of directors authorized utilizing up to $50 million to repurchase common stock. No shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, pursuant to this authorization. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 2.2 million shares for approximately $30.0 million. As of June 30, 2017, we have purchased a cumulative 4.3 million shares of our common stock, for approximately $63.2 million, since the program’s inception on November 4, 2014.
