AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 1997 and for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1996. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. 2. NET INCOME PER SHARE For the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the net income per share was calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. 3. INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company does not expect the effective tax rate or the components of income tax expense to cause variation from the expected statutory Federal and state income tax rates totaling 40 percent. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has not been provided since all tax benefits are expected to be used to offset future taxable income. 5 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to Supertel that are based on the beliefs of Supertel management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Supertel management. Such statements reflect the current views of Supertel with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the business factors described in Supertel's 1996 Form 10-K. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as believed, estimated or expected. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996 Total motel revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $9,065,680, an increase of $1,808,361 or 24.9%, over total revenues of $7,257,319 for the first quarter of 1996. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1,751,742 in revenues from lodging operations. Revenues from other lodging activities, which consist of telephone and vending revenues, increased $56,619. Revenue increases were affected by the opening of four new motels in Texas, the acquisition of six properties in Wisconsin and additions to two existing properties. The Company's room count was 4,153 at the end of the first quarter. The increase in revenues from lodging operations for the first quarter of 1997 resulted primarily from renting 219,081 rooms, an increase of 38,879 or 21.6%, over the 180,202 rooms rented in the first quarter of 1996. Rooms available in the first quarter of 1997 were 373,888, an increase of 72,906 or 24.2% over rooms available of 300,982 in the first quarter of 1996. Occupancy as a percentage of rooms available during the comparable three-month periods decreased from 59.9% to 58.6%. 6 7 Occupancy as a percentage of rooms available in seasoned properties (those owned/opened over one year) decreased from 60.6% in the first quarter of 1996 to 60.0% in the first quarter of 1997. Occupancy for the economy motel segment was below expectations in the quarter. Management believes the factors contributing to lower occupancy in the first quarter include severe winter weather and the challenging supply/demand conditions generally within the limited service lodging industry. The revenue increase also reflected an increase in the average daily room rate. An average daily room rate of $41.38 was achieved for the first quarter of 1997 compared to $40.27 for the first quarter of 1996, an increase of $1.11 or 2.8% per rented room. The increase in revenues from other lodging activities resulted from the increase in the number of rooms rented. Revenue per available room for the first quarter of 1997 increased to $24.25 from $24.11, an increase of $.14 or .6%. Lodging expenses for the first quarter of 1997 were $5,852,491, an increase of $1,380,129 or 30.9%, over the $4,472,362 for the first quarter of 1996. The increase in lodging expenses was due primarily to the increase in the number of rooms rented. Lodging expense as a percentage of motel revenues increased from 61.6% to 64.6% during the comparable three-month periods. This increase resulted from the decrease in occupancy and overall expense increases that were not offset by the increase in the average daily rate (ADR). Depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter of 1997 was $901,336, an increase of $351,588 or 64.0%, from the $549,748 for the first quarter of 1996. This increase was due to an increase in the number of motel properties. 7 8 General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1997 were $720,634, an increase of $43,105 or 6.4%, over general and administrative expenses of $677,529 for the first quarter of 1996. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of motel revenue decreased to 7.9% in the first quarter of 1997 from 9.3% in the first quarter of 1996. The percentage decrease was due primarily to adding revenue and already having the incremental overhead to support the growth. Interest expense for the first quarter of 1997 was $1,050,937, an increase of $376,604 or 55.8%, over $674,333 for the first quarter of 1996. Average borrowings for the first quarter of 1997 increased to $54,782,072 from $35,360,612 in the same quarter 1996, an increase of $19,421,460 or 54.9%. The increase was primarily due to borrowing for the construction of new properties, acquisitions and site development activities. Long-term debt (including current installments) at March 31, 1997 was $55,479,255. Net income for the first quarter of 1997 from continuing operations was $217,360, or $.05 per share versus net income of $425,281, or $.09 per share, for the corresponding period in 1996. Net income in the first quarter of 1997 was impacted by the decrease in occupancy and the use of introductory room rates in the state of Texas. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the first quarter of 1997 were $2,314,531, an increase of $381,648 or 19.7% over EBITDA of $1,932,883 for the first quarter of 1996. 8 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Supertel's growth has been financed through a combination of cash provided from operations and long-term debt financing. Cash provided from operations was $2,223,943 for the first quarter of 1997 and $1,506,850 for the first quarter of 1996. Supertel requires capital principally for the construction, acquisition and improvement of lodging facilities. Capital expenditures for such purposes were $3,674,845 in the first quarter of 1997 and $5,583,791 in the first quarter of 1996. Long-term debt (excluding current installments of long-term debt) was $49,390,975 at March 31, 1997 and $58,894,525 at December 31, 1996. Long-term debt increased over the past four quarters to finance Supertel's construction, acquisition and site development activities. Supertel's current installments of long-term debt were $6,088,280 at March 31, 1997 and $1,067,023 at December 31, 1996. Supertel's loan agreements contain certain restrictions and covenants related to, among other things, minimum debt service, maximum debt per motel room and maximum debt to tangible net worth. At March 31, 1997, Supertel was in compliance with these covenants. Supertel maintains a $40,000,000 line of credit, with an outstanding balance of $27,024,927 (classified as long-term debt) at March 31, 1997. Supertel's ratio of long-term debt (including current installments) to long-term debt and stockholders' equity was 65.7% at March 31, 1997, compared to 67.6% at December 31, 1996. Supertel plans to construct and/or acquire an aggregate of approximately 400 - 600 motel rooms in 1997 and expects approximately $14,000,000 - $19,000,000 of capital funds will be necessary to finance such construction. Supertel believes that a combination of cash flow from operations, the use of funds from its line of credit, securing new short- and long-term facilities and the ability to leverage unencumbered properties will be sufficient to fund scheduled development and debt repayments. 9 10 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which revises the calculation and presentation provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15 and related interpretations. Statement No. 128 is effective for Supertel's fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. Retroactive application will be required. Supertel believes the adoption of Statement No. 128 will not have a significant effect on its reported income per share. 10 11 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
