Real Estate Disclosure [Text Block] | 2. Investment in Real Estate The Company acquired three hotels during the first six months of 2015. The following table sets forth the location, brand, manager, date acquired, number of rooms and gross purchase price for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands. City State Brand Manager Date Acquired Rooms Gross Purchase Price Tustin CA Fairfield Inn & Suites Marriott 2/5/2015 145 $ 31,000 Tustin CA Residence Inn Marriott 2/5/2015 149 42,800 San Juan Capistrano CA Residence Inn Marriott 6/5/2015 130 29,200 Total 424 $ 103,000 At the date of purchase, the purchase price for these properties, net of debt assumed, was funded by cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company assumed approximately $16.6 million of debt in connection with the purchase of and secured by the San Juan Capistrano Residence Inn. The Company also used borrowings under its unsecured credit facility to pay approximately $2.2 million in acquisition related costs, including approximately $2.1 million, representing 2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, as a brokerage commission to Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc. (“ASRG”), which is 100% owned by Glade M. Knight, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and approximately $0.1 million in other acquisition related costs, including title, legal and other related costs. These costs are included in acquisition related costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the three hotels acquired during the first six months of 2015, the amount of revenue and operating income (excluding acquisition related costs totaling $2.2 million) included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date to June 30, 2015 was approximately $5.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under master hotel lease agreements. In connection with the acquisition of the San Juan Capistrano Residence Inn hotel in June 2015, the Company assumed a land lease with a remaining initial term of approximately 27 years and four 30 year renewal options. The lease was valued at below market rates and as a result the Company recorded an intangible asset totaling approximately $4.4 million, which is included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The amount is being amortized through February 2072, the end of the first renewal option. As of June 30, 2015, the remaining minimum lease payments, including the first renewal option, were approximately $46.5 million. No goodwill was recorded in connection with any of the acquisitions. As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned 54 hotels located in 17 states with an aggregate of 6,898 rooms, and the Company’s investment in real estate consisted of the following (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2015 2014 Land $ 87,439 $ 77,943 Building and Improvements 848,195 762,134 Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment 76,187 67,529 Franchise Fees 3,532 3,532 1,015,353 911,138 Less Accumulated Depreciation (89,283 ) (72,106 ) Investment in Real Estate, net $ 926,070 $ 839,032 As of June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of two additional hotels for a total purchase price of $50.6 million. These two hotels are under construction and are planned to be completed over the next six to nine months from June 30, 2015. Closing on these two hotels is expected upon completion of construction. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and there can be no assurance that a closing on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. The following table summarizes the location, brand, expected number of rooms, refundable (if the seller does not meet its obligations under the contract) contract deposits paid, and gross purchase price for each of the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2015. All dollar amounts are in thousands. Location Brand Rooms Deposits Paid Gross Purchase Price Under Construction (a) Cape Canaveral, FL (b) Homewood Suites 153 $ 3 $ 25,245 Rosemont, IL Hampton Inn & Suites 158 300 25,400 Total 311 $ 303 $ 50,645 (a) These hotels are currently under construction. The table shows the expected number of rooms upon hotel completion and the expected franchise brand. Assuming all conditions to closing are met, the purchase of these hotels is expected to close over the next six to nine months from June 30, 2015. (b) If the seller meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the contract. As the property is under construction, at this time, the seller has not met all of the conditions to closing. As there can be no assurance that all conditions to closing will be satisfied, the Company includes deposits paid for hotels under contract in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company intends to use borrowings under its credit facility to purchase the hotels currently under contract if a closing occurs. |
