NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025
(unaudited)
1. Organization
As discussed in Note 5, “Equity,” Moody National REIT II, Inc. (the “Company”) was initially capitalized by Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
As of June 30, 2025, the
Company owned interests in nine hotel properties located in five states comprising a total of
On January 20, 2015, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared the Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 effective,
and the Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $
On June 26, 2017, the Company reallocated the Company’s shares of common stock as Class A common stock, $ par value per share (“Class A Shares”), Class D common stock, $ par value per share (“Class D Shares”), Class I common stock, $ par value per share (“Class I Shares”), and Class T common stock, $ par value per share (“Class T Shares” and, together with the Class A Shares, the Class D Shares and the Class I Shares, the “Shares”). On January 16, 2018, the Advisor (as defined below) assumed responsibility for the payment of all selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid in connection with the Company’s public offering; provided, however, that the Advisor intended to recoup the selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees that it funds through an increased acquisition fee, or “Contingent Advisor Payment,” as described in Note 6, “Related Party Arrangements.”
On January 18, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-222610) registering $ million in any combination of the Shares to be sold on a “best efforts” basis in the Company’s follow-on public offering. The SEC declared the registration statement with respect to the follow-on public offering effective on July 19, 2018.
The Company’s follow-on public offering was terminated (including pursuant to the DRP) effective as of March 25, 2020 due to the impact that the spread of COVID-19, a disease caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, had on the Company’s hotel properties. The Company accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued an aggregate of million shares in the Company’s initial public offering and follow-on offering, excluding shares issued in connection with the Company’s merger with Moody National REIT I, Inc. and including shares pursuant to the DRP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $ million. The Company accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued million shares in the follow-on offering, including shares pursuant to the DRP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $ million for the follow-on offering.
The Company’s advisor is Moody National Advisor II, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the Sponsor. Pursuant to an advisory agreement among the Company, the OP (defined below) and the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”), and subject to certain restrictions and limitations therein, the Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company.
Substantially all of the
Company’s business is conducted through Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”).
The Company is the sole general partner of the OP. The initial limited partners of the OP were Moody OP Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Moody Holdings II”), and Moody National LPOP II, LLC (“Moody
LPOP II”), an affiliate of the Advisor. Moody Holdings II initially invested $

COVID-19 Pandemic
The global COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reduced travel, which had an unprecedented adverse impact on the hotel industry. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse effect on the operating results of the Company’s hotel properties, which depend primarily upon revenues driven by business and leisure travel, and on the Company’s business, financial performance and operating results. Since March 2020, the Company has experienced a significant decline in bookings, occupancy and revenues across the Company’s hotel properties. The Company’s hotel properties have operated at a property net operating loss since the outbreak of COVID-19, which had an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow from operations. In addition, the Company reduced certain services and amenities at the Company’s hotel properties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each of the Company’s
hotel properties is subject to a mortgage loan secured by the Company’s ownership interest in the property. If the Company is unable
to service the mortgage loan secured by a hotel property due to decreased revenues generated by such property, the lender with respect
to such mortgage loan may initiate foreclosure procedures with respect to the property or initiate other available remedies. As of the
date of this Quarterly Report, the Company is current with respect to the payments due under the mortgage loans secured by the Company’s
hotel properties or is in compliance with the modified terms of certain mortgage loans as agreed to with the lenders and other accommodations.
Certain lenders have agreed to limited loan modifications, including temporary deferrals of interest and principal payments and agreements
to forebear the enforcement of default remedies available under the terms of the loan documents. As of the date of this Quarterly Report,
no lenders have accelerated the maturity of any of the loans secured by the Company’s properties or initiated foreclosure procedures
with respect to any of the Company’s properties, except for the lender for the Hilton Garden Inn Austin which foreclosed on the
property in satisfaction of the mortgage note in the principal amount of $
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company terminated its follow-on public offering of common stock (including pursuant to the DRP), effective as of March 2020. The Company is not currently raising capital through the sale of its securities and the Company does not expect to resume raising capital. The Company has also indefinitely suspended the payment of distributions to stockholders effective as of March 2020 and the operation of its share repurchase program effective as of April 2020. The Company does not expect to resume repurchasing shares pursuant to its share repurchase program or the payment of distributions, other than any liquidating distributions paid to its stockholders from the net proceeds (if any) of the Company’s liquidation (if the Plan of Liquidation (as defined below) is approved by the Company’s stockholders).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include its accounts and the accounts of its subsidiaries over which it has control. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Segment Information
Management evaluates the Company’s hotels as a single reportable segment as a result of aggregating multiple operating segments, because all of the Company’s hotels have similar economic characteristics and provide similar services to similar types of customers. Our single reportable segment comprises the structure used by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, who collectively have been determined to be our Chief Operations Decision Maker (“CODM”), to make key operating decisions and assess performance. Our CODM evaluates our single reportable segment’s operating performance based on individual hotel property net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative expense, loss on impairment of hotel properties, loss on early extinguishment of debt, other charges, interest and other income, and gains or losses on sales of hotel properties (“Adjusted Hotel EBITDA”). One single reportable segment’s assets are consistent with total assets included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The following table includes revenues, significant hotel operating expenses, and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA for the Company’s hotels, reconciled to the consolidated amounts included the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

Organization and Offering Costs
Organization and offering
costs of the Company are paid directly by the Company or incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement
between the Company and the Advisor, the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization
and offering costs incurred by the Advisor associated with each of the Company’s public offerings, provided that within 60 days
of the last day of the month in which a public offering ends, the Advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent aggregate
organization and offering costs incurred by the Company in connection with the completed public offering exceed
All offering costs, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in-capital, and all organization costs are recorded as an expense when the Company has an obligation to reimburse the Advisor.
| 9 |
As of June 30, 2025, total
offering costs for the initial public offering and the follow-on offering were $
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2016. The Company did not meet all of the qualifications to be a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, including not having shareholders for a sufficient number of days in 2015. Prior to qualifying to be taxed as a REIT, the Company was subject to normal federal and state corporation income taxes.
Provided that the Company
continues to qualify as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT
taxable income to its stockholders, so long as it distributes at least
The Company accounts for income taxes of its TRS using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period prior to when the new rates become effective. The Company records a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized.
The Company has reviewed tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarify the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. The Company had no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025.
The preparation of the Company’s various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities. A revision to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. At this time, a range in which the Company’s estimates may change is not expected to be material. The Company will account for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in the current period results of operations, if necessary. The Company has tax years 2020 through 2024 remaining subject to examination by various federal and state tax jurisdictions. For more information, see Note 10, “Income Taxes.”
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value measures are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. | |
| Level 2: | Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets. | |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require a reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
| Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques: | ||
| Market approach: | Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. | |
| Cost approach: | Amount required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). | |
| 10 |
The Company’s estimates of fair value were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
With the exception of the Company’s fixed-rate notes payable, the carrying amounts of other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. For the fair value of the Company’s notes payable, see Note 4, “Debt.”
Concentration of Risk
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. The Company diversifies its cash and cash equivalents with several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these institutions. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions along with the balances on deposit at such institutions to minimize the Company’s potential risk and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.
The Company holds cash accounts
at several institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations (the “FDIC”) protection limits of $
The Company is exposed to geographic risk in that five of its nine hotel properties are located in one state, Texas.
Valuation and Allocation of Hotel Properties — Acquisition
Upon acquisition, the purchase price of hotel properties is allocated to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land, buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment, any assumed debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations, if any, based on their fair values. Acquisition costs are charged to expense as incurred. Initial valuations are subject to change during the measurement period, but the measurement period ends as soon as the information is available. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Land values are derived from appraisals and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. The value of furniture, fixtures and equipment is based on their fair value using replacement costs less depreciation. Any difference between the fair value of the hotel property acquired and the purchase price of the hotel property is recorded as goodwill or gain on acquisition of hotel property.
The Company determines the fair value of any assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that the Company believes it could obtain at the date of acquisition. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan as a component of interest expense.
In allocating the purchase price of each of the Company’s properties, the Company makes assumptions and uses various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets and discount rates used to determine present values. The Company uses Level 3 inputs to value acquired properties. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third-party appraisals. However, the Company is responsible for the source and use of these estimates. These estimates require judgment and are subject to being imprecise; accordingly, if different estimates and assumptions were derived, the valuation of the various categories of the Company’s hotel properties or related intangibles could in turn result in a difference in the depreciation or amortization expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These variances could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Valuation and Allocation of Hotel Properties — Ownership
Investment in hotel properties is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over a period equal to the shorter of the life of the improvement or the remaining useful life of the asset. The costs of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:
| Estimated Useful Lives (years) | ||
| Buildings and improvements | ||
| Exterior improvements | ||
| Furniture, fixture and equipment |
| 11 |
Real Estate Assets Held for Sale
A long-lived asset (or disposal group) to be disposed of by sale (including an asset group considered a component of an entity) is considered held for sale when all of the following criteria for a qualifying plan of sale are met: 1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group; 2) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale (i.e., a seller currently has the intent and ability to transfer the asset (group) to a buyer) in its present condition, subject only to conditions that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; 3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; 4) the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable (i.e., likely to occur) and the transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; 5) the long-lived asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and 6) actions necessary to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. An exception to the one-year requirement (in point 4) above) is permitted if events or circumstances beyond an entity’s control extend the period of time required to sell the assets beyond one year. No depreciation is recorded for real estate assets held for sale.
Impairments of Hotel Properties
The Company monitors events
and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of a hotel property may not be recoverable. When such events or changes
in circumstances are present, the Company assesses potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected
to be generated over the life of the asset from operating activities and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the
asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment
loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value for assets held for use and fair value less costs to sell for
assets held for sale. Losses on impairment of hotel properties were $
In evaluating a hotel property for impairment, the Company makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the property, the estimated future cash flows of the property during the Company’s ownership and the projected sales price of the property. A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in a change in the estimated undiscounted cash flows or fair value of the Company’s hotel property which could then result in different conclusions regarding impairment and material changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage and other ancillary revenues, are recognized as the related services are delivered. Revenue is recorded net of any sales and other taxes collected from customers. Amounts received prior to guest arrival are recorded as advances from the customer and are recognized at the time of occupancy.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand or held in banks and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes reserves for property taxes, as well as reserves for property improvements, replacement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment and debt service, as required by certain management or mortgage and term debt agreements restrictions and provisions.
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to the total presented in the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable
The Company takes into consideration certain factors that require judgments to be made as to the collectability of receivables. Collectability factors taken into consideration are the amounts outstanding, payment history and financial strength of the customer, which, taken as a whole, determines the valuation. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible.

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

Plan of Liquidation
On April 15, 2025, the Board unanimously approved the sale of all the Company’s assets and the Company’s dissolution pursuant to a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”) and recommended that the Plan of Liquidation be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval. The principal purpose of the Plan of Liquidation is to attempt to provide liquidity to the Company’s stockholders by selling the Company’s assets, paying its debts and distributing any net proceeds from the Company’s liquidation to its stockholders.
The Plan of Liquidation will become effective only upon the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by the Company’s stockholders. The Company can provide no assurances as to the ultimate approval of the Plan of Liquidation by the Company’s stockholders, the timing of the liquidation of the Company’s assets following approval of the Plan of Liquidation by the Company’s stockholders, or the amount of liquidating distributions (if any) that the Company may pay to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation (if approved by the Company’s stockholders).
If the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, the Company intends to pursue an orderly liquidation of the Company by selling all of the Company’s remaining assets, paying the Company’s debts and known liabilities, providing for the payment of the Company’s unknown or contingent liabilities, distributing the net proceeds (if any) from the liquidation to the Company’s stockholders and winding up the Company’s operations and dissolving the Company. Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, the sale of the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center is not subject to the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by the Company’s stockholders and will be completed, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable closing conditions with respect thereto, regardless of whether the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation. In the interim, the Company intends to (i) continue to manage its portfolio of properties to maintain and, if possible, improve the quality, income-producing ability and stability of the properties and better position the properties for a potential sale, and (ii) identify potential purchasers for the Company’s properties (with any such sale being contingent upon the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by the Company’s stockholders).
The Company cannot complete the sale of its remaining assets (excluding the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center) and its dissolution pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Liquidation unless the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation. If the Plan of Liquidation is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Board will continue to meet to evaluate other strategic alternatives to pursue, including, without limitation, continuing to operate under the Company’s current business plan or seeking approval of a plan of liquidation at a future date. However, if the Company is unable to obtain stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation, the Company may be unable to meet its maturing debt obligations in the near term. The Company’s liquidity position raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its capability to pay the mortgage loans maturing during the year ending December 31, 2025 and beyond.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated all subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through August 13, 2025, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available for issuance.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Moody National REIT II, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “our company” refer to Moody National REIT II, Inc. and, as required by context, Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our “operating partnership,” and to their respective subsidiaries. References to “shares” and “our common stock” refer to the shares of our common stock.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or this Quarterly Report, that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These include statements about our plans, strategies and prospects, including the Plan of Liquidation (as defined below). These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terms.
The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs, which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Any of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein could be inaccurate, and undue reliance should not be placed upon any forward-looking statements included herein. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed herein will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made after the date of this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report will be achieved.
Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and prospects include, but are not limited to:
| ● | Although our board of directors has approved the sale of all of our assets and our dissolution pursuant to the terms of a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”), we can give no assurances whether we will be able to obtain the required stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation, or if we do receive such stockholder approval, whether we will be able to successfully implement the Plan of Liquidation and sell our remaining assets, pay our debts and distribute the net proceeds from our liquidation (if any) to our stockholders as we intend. We can give no assurance regarding the timing of asset dispositions, the sale prices we will receive for our assets or the amount and timing of liquidating distributions (if any) that we may pay to our stockholders if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders. |
| ● | We may face unanticipated difficulties, delays or expenditures relating to our implementation of the Plan of Liquidation (if approved by our stockholders), which may reduce or delay our payment of any liquidating distributions to our stockholders. |
| ● | If we are unable to obtain the required stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation, we may continue to operate under our current business plan or seek approval of a plan of liquidation at a future date. However, if we are unable to obtain stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation, we may be unable to meet our maturing debt obligations in the near term. |
| ● | There is no public trading market for shares of our common stock and we are not required to effectuate a liquidity event by a certain date. Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our share repurchase program is indefinitely suspended, and we do not expect to resume the repurchase of shares pursuant to our share repurchase program. Even if we resume the repurchase of shares, our share repurchase program will be subject to significant limitations. |
| 25 |
| ● | Our ability to obtain financing or refinancing on acceptable terms, satisfy our existing debt service obligations and negotiate extensions or other modifications to the terms of our existing financing arrangements to the extent necessary. Our liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and its capability to pay the mortgage loans secured by our properties maturing during the year ending December 31, 2025. |
| ● | Foreclosure or other actions initiated by lenders in response to our default on loans secured by our properties. If we are unable to obtain stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation, we may be unable to meet our maturing debt obligations in the near term, which may result in the initiation of foreclosure proceedings by lenders. On May 2, 2025, the lender for the Hilton Garden Inn Austin foreclosed on the property in satisfaction of the mortgage loan secured by the property. |
| ● | We pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates, which were not negotiated at arm’s-length, and may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated third parties. Payment of these fees will be made prior to any liquidating distributions are paid to our stockholders (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders). |
| ● | We have a limited portfolio of nine remaining hotel properties, the majority of which are located in the state of Texas. As a result, market or economic downturns, extreme weather events or other natural disasters with a disproportionate adverse impact on Texas will have a more significant adverse impact on our financial condition than if we possessed a larger and more diversified investment portfolio. In addition, due to the small size of our remaining portfolio, our fixed costs associated with managing our company and our portfolio of hotels are a large percentage of our net operating income. |
| ● | Our success depends on the performance of our sponsor and affiliates of our sponsor. |
| ● | We suspended the payment of distributions in March 2020 and have not resumed distribution payments. We do not expect to resume the payment of distributions, other than any liquidating distributions paid to our stockholders from the net proceeds (if any) of our liquidation (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders). |
| ● | We have incurred net losses in the past and may incur net losses in the future, and we have an accumulated deficit and may continue to have an accumulated deficit in the future. |
| ● | Stockholders should not rely on any prior estimates of our net asset value (“NAV”) per share as being an accurate measure of the current value of shares of our common stock. We did not determine an estimated NAV per share as of December 31, 2024. |
| ● | Our investments in real estate may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets. Such events would make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and successfully implement the Plan of Liquidation (assuming it is approved by our stockholders), which could in turn reduce the amount of any liquidating distributions that we may pay to our stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation. |
| ● | The return on an investment in our common stock may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |
| ● | Changes in national, regional or local economic, demographic or real estate market conditions, including actual or perceived instability in the U.S. banking system, may adversely affect our results of operations and returns to our stockholders. |

Overview
We are a Maryland corporation formed on July 25, 2014, to invest in a portfolio of select-service hospitality properties with premier brands including, but not limited to, Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through Moody National Operating Partnership II, LP, or our operating partnership. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership, and the initial limited partners of our operating partnership were our subsidiary, Moody OP Holdings II, LLC, or Moody Holdings II, and Moody National LPOP II, LLC, or Moody LPOP II, an affiliate of our advisor (as defined below). Moody Holdings II invested $1,000 in our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in our operating partnership, and Moody LPOP II invested $1,000 in our operating partnership in exchange for special limited partnership interests in our operating partnership.
We are externally managed by Moody National Advisor II, LLC, a related party, which we refer to as our advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement among us, our operating partnership and our advisor, or the advisory agreement. Our advisor was formed in July 2014. Moody National REIT Sponsor, LLC, which we refer to as our sponsor, is owned and managed by Brett C. Moody, who also serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Executive Officer and President of our advisor.
On January 20, 2015, we commenced our initial public offering of up to $1.1 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $1.0 billion in shares of our common stock offered to the public and up to $100 million in shares offered to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRP. On June 26, 2017, we reallocated the shares of our common stock being sold in our initial public offering as Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, or the Class A Shares, Class I common stock, $0.01 par value per share, or the Class I Shares, and Class T common stock, $0.01 par value per share, or the Class T Shares. We collectively refer to the Class A Shares, Class I Shares and Class T Shares as our “shares.” On July 19, 2018, we commenced our follow-on public offering of up to $990 million in any combination of the three classes of our shares, consisting of up to $895 million in shares of our common stock offered to the public and up to $95 million in shares of our common stock offered to our stockholders pursuant to the DRP.
Our follow-on public offering was terminated (including pursuant to the DRP) effective as of March 25, 2020. We accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued an aggregate of 10.2 million shares in our initial public offering and our follow-on public offering, excluding shares issued in connection with the Mergers (as defined below) and including 567,000 shares pursuant to the DRP, resulting in aggregate gross offering proceeds of $234.6 million. We accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 4.1 million shares in the follow-on offering, including 352,000 shares pursuant to the DRP, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $87.2 million for the follow-on public offering.
| 27 |
Effective January 16, 2018, our advisor assumed responsibility for the payment of all selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid in connection with our public offering; provided, however, that our advisor intends to recoup the selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees that it funded through receipt of an increased acquisition fee (as discussed in Note 6, “Related Party Agreements-Acquisition Fees,” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements).
Moody Securities, LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, which we refer to as the “dealer manager” or “Moody Securities,” is our dealer manager and was responsible for the distribution of our common stock in our public offerings.
As of June 30, 2025, our portfolio consisted of ownership interests in nine hotel properties located in five states, comprising a total of 1,210 rooms. Our principle executive offices are located at 9655 Katy Freeway, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77024, and our main telephone number is (713) 977-7500.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The global COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reduced travel, which had an unprecedented adverse impact on the hotel industry. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse effect on the operating results of our hotel properties, which depend primarily upon revenues driven by business and leisure travel, and on our business, financial performance and operating results. Since March 2020, we experienced a significant decline in bookings, occupancy and revenues across our hotel properties. Our hotel properties have operated at a property net operating loss since the outbreak of COVID-19, which had an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flow from operations. In addition, we reduced certain services and amenities at our hotel properties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each of our hotel properties is subject to a mortgage loan secured by our ownership interest in the property. If we are unable to service the mortgage loan secured by a hotel property due to decreased revenues generated by such property, the lender with respect to such mortgage loan may initiate foreclosure procedures with respect to the property or initiate other available remedies. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we are current with respect to the payments due under the mortgage loans secured by our hotel properties or are in compliance with the modified terms of certain mortgage loans and other accommodations as agreed to with the lenders, such as extending the maturity date or paying default interest. As discussed in Note 4, “Debt,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Report, certain lenders have agreed to limited loan modifications, including temporary deferrals of interest and principal payments and agreements to forebear the enforcement of default remedies available under the terms of the loan documents. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no lenders accelerated the maturity of any of the loans secured by our properties or initiated foreclosure procedures with respect to any of our properties, except for the lender for the Hilton Garden Inn Austin which foreclosed on the property in satisfaction of the mortgage note in the principal amount of $16.2 million on May 2, 2025. The mortgage notes payable secured by the Homewood Suites Woodlands and the Hampton Inn Great Valley matured on April 11, 2025. Hotel revenue has been deposited to lockbox accounts controlled by the lenders for these properties and no foreclosure proceedings have been initiated for either property. However, there can be no guarantee that the lenders will continue to agree to further loan modifications or accommodations and will not elect to exercise the remedies available to them under the loan documents, including acceleration or foreclosure actions. The exercise of any such remedies by a lender will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and will impair our ability to pay any liquidating distributions to our stockholders (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders).
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we terminated our public offering of common stock (including pursuant to the DRP), effective as of March 2020. We are not currently raising capital through the sale of our securities, and we do not expect to resume raising capital. We also indefinitely suspended the payment of distributions to our stockholders effective as of March 2020 and the operation of our share repurchase program effective as of April 2020. We do not expect to resume repurchasing shares pursuant to our share repurchase program or the payment of distributions, other than any liquidating distributions paid to our stockholders from the net proceeds of our liquidation (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders).
Plan of Liquidation
On April 15, 2025, our board of directors unanimously approved the sale of all of our remaining assets and our dissolution pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and recommended that the Plan of Liquidation be submitted to our stockholders for approval. The principal purpose of the Plan of Liquidation is to attempt to provide liquidity to our stockholders by selling our assets, paying our debts and distributing any net proceeds from our liquidation to our stockholders.
On or about July 7, 2025, we commenced distribution to our stockholders of a definitive proxy statement with respect to our annual meeting of stockholders, to be held on September 30, 2025, at which our stockholders will be asked to approve, in addition to other matters, the Plan of Liquidation.
The Plan of Liquidation will become effective only upon the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders. We can provide no assurances as to the ultimate approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, the timing of the liquidation of our assets following the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, or the amount of liquidating distributions (if any) that we may pay to our stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders).
| 28 |
If our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, we intend to pursue an orderly liquidation of our company by selling all of our remaining assets, paying our debts and known liabilities, providing for the payment of our unknown or contingent liabilities, distributing the net proceeds (if any) from the liquidation to our stockholders and winding up our operations and dissolving. Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, the sale of the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center is not subject to the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders and will be completed, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable closing conditions with respect thereto, regardless of whether our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation. In the interim, we intend to (i) continue to manage our portfolio of properties to maintain and, if possible, improve the quality, income-producing ability and stability of the properties and better position the properties for a potential sale, and (ii) identify potential purchasers for our properties (with any such sale being contingent upon the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders).
We cannot complete the sale of our remaining assets (excluding the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center) and our dissolution pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Liquidation unless our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation. If the Plan of Liquidation is not approved by our stockholders, our board of directors will continue to meet to evaluate other strategic alternatives to pursue, including, without limitation, continuing to operate under our current business plan or seeking approval of a plan of liquidation at a future date. However, if we are unable to obtain stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation, we may be unable to meet our maturing debt obligations in the near term. Our liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our capability to pay the mortgage loans maturing during the year ending December 31, 2025 and beyond.
Merger with Moody National REIT I, Inc.
On September 27, 2017, the merger of Moody National REIT I, Inc., or Moody I, with and into our company, and the merger of Moody National Operating Partnership I, L.P., or Moody I OP, the operating partnership of Moody I, with and into our operating partnership, which we collectively refer to herein as the Mergers were completed. For additional discussion of the Mergers, see the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations
Economic Conditions Affecting Our Portfolio
Adverse economic conditions affecting the hospitality sector, the geographic regions in which we have invested or the real estate market generally may have a material impact on our capital resources and the revenue or income to be derived from the operation of our hospitality investments. As discussed above, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse effect on our hotel properties.
Results of Operations
We were formed on July 25, 2014. As of June 30, 2025, we owned interests in nine hotel properties located in five states, comprising a total of 1,210 rooms. As of June 30, 2024, we owned interests in fifteen hotel properties located in six states, comprising a total of 2,123 rooms. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold or disposed of five hotel properties, the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville and Hilton Garden Inn Austin, for an aggregate sales price of $138.3 million. The proceeds of such sales were used to repay the mortgage loans secured by such properties.
Beginning in March 2020, COVID-19 caused widespread cancellations of both business and leisure travel throughout the United States, resulting in significant decreases in bookings, occupancy and revenues throughout our hotel portfolio and the hospitality industry as a whole. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the revenue and operating results declined below 2019 levels for the years after 2019.
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2025 versus the three months ended June 30, 2024
Revenue
Hotel revenue decreased to $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to the sale of the Townplace Suites Fort Worth property in December 2024 and the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville and Hilton Garden Inn Austin properties during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The table below sets forth a comparison of hotel revenues for the hotels owned continuously for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (all $ amounts in thousands).

Revenues decreased for all hotel properties except the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Hotel Operating Expenses
Hotel operating expenses decreased to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Such decrease was primarily due to the sale of the Townplace Suites Fort Worth property in December 2024 and the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville and Hilton Garden Inn Austin properties during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other
Property taxes, insurance and other expenses decreased to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in property taxes, insurance and other expenses was primarily due to the sale of the Townplace Suites Fort Worth property in December 2024 and the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville and Hilton Garden Inn Austin properties during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $2.2 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was due to no depreciation being recorded for real estate assets held for sale. The decrease was also due to the sale of the Townplace Suites Fort Worth property in December 2024 and the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville and Hilton Garden Inn Austin properties during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of asset management fees, and directors’ fees.
Loss on Impairment of Hotel Properties
Loss on impairment of hotel properties was $7.0 million and $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized loss on impairment of hotel properties to adjust the carrying amount to estimated fair value of the Hyatt Place Germantown, Hampton Inn Austin, Hampton Inn Great Valley and Homewood Suites Austin during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the Marriott Courtyard Lyndhurst, Townplace Suites Forth Worth and Residence Inn Houston Medical Center during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs
Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs decreased to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. In future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of borrowings and our ability to identify and acquire assets that meet our investment objectives.
Gain on Sale of Hotel Properties
Gain on sale of hotel properties was $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold the Embassy Suites Nashville property to an unaffiliated purchaser for $57.5 million, and, following a default under the loan documents related to a missed debt service payment, the Company relinquished ownership of the Hilton Garden Inn Austin property to the lender in a foreclosure transaction.

Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense was $243,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to our income tax expense of $84,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to an increase in state taxable income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the six months ended June 30, 2024

Revenues decreased for all hotel properties for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Hotel Operating Expenses
Hotel operating expenses decreased to $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Such decrease was primarily due to the sale of the Townplace Suites Fort Worth property in December 2024 and the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville and Hilton Garden Inn Austin properties during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other
Property taxes, insurance and other expenses decreased to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in property taxes, insurance and other expenses was primarily due the sale of the Townplace Suites Fort Worth property in December 2024 and the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville and Hilton Garden Inn Austin properties during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Loss on Impairment of Hotel Properties
Loss on impairment of hotel properties was $7.0 million and $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs
Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs decreased to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs was primarily due to a decrease in the balance of notes payable related to properties sold offset by an increase in interest rates for matured loans and loan renewals, extensions and refinancings. In future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of borrowings and our ability to identify and acquire assets that meet our investment objectives.
Gain on Sale of Hotel Properties
Gain on sale of hotel properties was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold the Residence Inn Austin, Residence Inn Grapevine, Courtyard Marriott Lyndhurst, and Embassy Suites Nashville properties, and, following a default under the loan documents related to a missed debt service payment, we relinquished ownership of the Hilton Garden Inn Austin property to the lender in a foreclosure transaction.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense was $239,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $96,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to an increase in state taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demand for funds is for the payment of operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and, subject to the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, the payment of any liquidating distributions to our stockholders. However, we can give no assurance regarding the amount and timing of any liquidating distributions that we may pay to our stockholders if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders.
Our principal short-term source of liquidity is the operating cash flows generated from our hotel properties. Historically, proceeds from our public offering supplied a significant portion of our available cash. However, our public offering has been terminated and we do not expect to resume raising capital pursuant to the sale of our securities. Since 2020, we have taken measures to preserve capital and increase liquidity, including suspending our monthly distribution and postponing non-essential capital improvements. We anticipate funding our near-term cash needs with operating cash flows generated from our properties.
We may, but are not required to, establish working capital reserves out of cash flow generated by our real estate assets or out of proceeds from the sale of our real estate assets. We do not anticipate establishing a general working capital reserve; however, we may establish working capital reserves with respect to particular investments. We also may, but are not required to, establish reserves out of cash flow generated by our real estate assets or out of net sale proceeds in non-liquidating sale transactions. Working capital reserves are typically used to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. We also escrow funds for property improvements. Our lenders also may require working capital reserves. Financing agreements that we enter into may also contain various customary covenants, including but not limited to financial covenants, covenants requiring monthly deposits in respect of certain property costs, covenants imposing restrictions on indebtedness and liens, and restrictions on investments and participation in other asset disposition, merger or business combination or dissolution transactions.
Although there can be no assurances, we anticipate that available cash will be adequate to meet our near-term potential operating cash flow deficits, debt service and capital expenditures. If we are unable to satisfy our near-term anticipated cash requirements as currently planned, we may raise capital through the continued disposition of assets (provided that the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders), or short-term borrowing, all of which may be more costly to us in the current economic environment.
During 2024, we placed six of our then-fifteen hotel properties on the market for sale: (1) the Residence Inn Austin, (2) the Residence Inn Grapevine, (3) the Marriott Courtyard Lyndhurst, (4) the Embassy Suites Nashville, (5) the Townplace Suites Fort Worth, and (6) the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center. On December 10, 2024, we sold the Townplace Suites Fort Worth property to an unaffiliated purchaser for $9.1 million. On February 6, 2025, we sold the Residence Inn Grapevine property to an unaffiliated purchaser for $22.5 million. On February 6, 2025, we sold the Residence Inn Austin property to an unaffiliated purchaser for $20.5 million. On March 21, 2025, we sold the Marriott Courtyard Lyndhurst property to an unaffiliated purchaser for $21.3 million. On April 11, 2025, we sold the Embassy Suites Nashville property to an unaffiliated purchaser for $57.5 million. On April 21, 2025, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center to an affiliated purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $33.0 million.
| 32 |
If the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders, we will commence with an orderly sale of our remaining properties; provided, however, that the Residence Inn Houston Medical Center is excluded from the Plan of Liquidation and the sale of such property is not contingent upon the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders. Upon approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, our properties may be sold individually or as one or more multi-property portfolios. We can give no assurance regarding the timing of property dispositions or the sale prices we will receive for our properties. A number of our properties are subject to mortgage loans which matured and became due and payable in full during 2024 or which have or will mature and become due and payable in full during 2025. We may be forced to dispose of such properties on terms that are less advantageous to us than we would otherwise prefer, including for sales prices lower than the purchase price we paid for such properties. If we are unable to dispose of a property prior to the maturity date of the loan secured by such property, successfully refinance such loan or negotiate a maturity date extension or other accommodations for such loan, the lender may initiate foreclosure proceedings or exercise other remedies available to them under the loan documents, as occurred in May 2025 with respect to the Hilton Garden Inn Austin property. The exercise of any such remedies by a lender will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and will adversely impact the value of an investment in our shares.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, we owned interests in nine and fifteen hotel properties, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $25.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $10.5 million and decrease in due to related parties of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $535,000 and decrease in due to related parties of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $133.8 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $935,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the proceeds from sale of hotel properties of $138.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to proceeds from sale of hotel properties of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our cash flows from financing activities consisted primarily of repayments of notes payable and repayment of notes payable to related party. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $(120.7) million and $7.3 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to repayment of notes payable of $98.7 million and repayment of notes payable to related party of $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to repayment of notes payable of $2.7 million and proceeds of notes payable to related party of $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $16.7 million.

Debt
We have used secured and unsecured debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of real property. By operating on a leveraged basis, we expected that we would have more funds available for investments and would be able to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, which would potentially result in enhanced investment returns and a more diversified portfolio. However, our use of leverage increases the risk of default on loan payments and the resulting foreclosure on a particular asset. In addition, lenders may have recourse to assets other than those specifically securing the repayment of the indebtedness.
Each of our hotel properties is subject to a mortgage secured by our ownership interest in the property. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant decline in the revenues generated by our hotel properties and increased the risk that we will be unable to satisfy our debt service obligations. If we are unable to service the mortgage loan secured by a hotel property, the lender may initiate foreclosure procedures with respect to the property or initiate other available remedies. As of June 30, 2025, we were current with respect to the payments due under the mortgage loans secured by our hotel properties or are in compliance with the modified terms of certain mortgage loans as agreed to with the lenders and other accommodations. As discussed in Note 4, “Debt,” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, certain lenders have agreed to limited loan modifications, including temporary deferrals of interest and principal payments. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no lenders have accelerated the maturity of any of the loans secured by our properties or initiated foreclosure procedures with respect to any of our properties except for the lender for the Hilton Garden Inn Austin which foreclosed on the property in satisfaction of the mortgage note in the principal amount of $16.2 million on May 2, 2025. However, there can be no guarantee that our lenders will continue to agree to further loan modifications or accommodations and will not elect to exercise the remedies available to them under the loan documents, including acceleration or foreclosure actions. The exercise of any such remedies by a lender will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and will impair our ability to pay any liquidating distributions to our stockholders (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders). As of June 30, 2025, the mortgage loans secured by four of our nine remaining hotel properties, representing approximately $51.3 million in maturing indebtedness, mature during the remainder of 2025. If the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders, we will use the proceeds of the sale of our remaining properties to repay the mortgage loans secured by such properties. Our liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our capability to pay the mortgage loans maturing during the year ending December 31, 2025.
The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates repeatedly during 2023 while reducing rates in 2024 and may further increase interest rates in 2025. Any change in the fiscal policies or stated target interest rates of the U.S. Federal Reserve or other central banking institutions, or market expectations of such change, are difficult to predict and may result in significantly higher long-term interest rates. Such a transition may be abrupt and may, among other things, reduce the availability or increase the costs of obtaining new debt and refinancing existing indebtedness. In the event that the interest rate on any of our outstanding mortgage loans or other indebtedness increases significantly, we may not have sufficient funds to pay the required interest payments.
Notes Payable to Related Party
On March 30, 2021, Moody National Capital, LLC (“Moody Capital”), an affiliate of our sponsor, loaned us $8 million pursuant to a promissory note (the “Related Party Note”). The Related Party Note provides that we may borrow up to an additional $2.0 million from Moody Capital, for a maximum aggregate loan amount of $10 million. All amounts borrowed under the Related Party Note plus all accrued interest thereon were due and payable in full on March 29, 2024, provided that we had the right to extend such maturity date for up to two years at our discretion. We have elected to fully extend such maturity date to March 29, 2026. Interest on the Related Party Note began to accrue effective March 30, 2021. The principal amount of the loan under the Related Party Note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 4.75%; provided, however, that such interest rate will be increased to a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 6.75% if the Related Party Note is subordinated to another lender. The effective interest rate for the Related Party Note was 9.08% as of June 30, 2025. The balance of the Related Party Note was $10.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
From April 2021 to August 16, 2021, Moody Capital made a series of advances to us to meet our specific cash flow needs. Effective June 30, 2021, these advances were memorialized in a promissory note (the “Second Related Party Note”) with a total maximum aggregate loan amount of $10 million. All amounts borrowed under the Second Related Party Note plus all accrued interest thereon will be due and payable in full on June 30, 2024, provided that we had the right to extend such maturity date for up to two years at our discretion. We elected to fully extend such maturity date to June 30, 2026. Interest on the Second Related Party Note began to accrue effective June 30, 2021. The principal amount of the loan under the Second Related Party Note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 6.75%; provided, however, that such interest rate will be increased to a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 8.75% if the Second Related Party Note is subordinated to another lender. The effective interest rate for the Second Related Party Note was 11.08% as of June 30, 2025. The balance of the Second Related Party Note was $10.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
| 34 |
From August 20, 2021, to December 31, 2021, Moody Capital made a series of advances to us to meet our specific cash flow needs. These advances were memorialized in a promissory note (the “Third Related Party Note”) with a total maximum aggregate loan amount of $10 million. All amounts borrowed under the Third Related Party Note plus all accrued interest thereon were originally due and payable in full on August 20, 2024, provided that we had the right to extend such maturity date for up to two years at our discretion. We elected to extend such maturity date for one year to August 20, 2025. Interest on the Third Related Party Note began to accrue effective August 20, 2021. The principal amount of the loan under the Third Related Party Note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 7.75%; provided, however, that such interest rate will be increased to a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 9.75% if the Third Related Party Note is subordinated to another lender. The effective interest rate for the Third Related Party Note was 12.08% as of June 30, 2025. The balance of the Third Related Party Note was $8.0 million and $10 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
From April 13, 2022, to September 30, 2023, Moody Capital made a series of advances to us to meet our specific cash flow needs. These advances were memorialized in a promissory note (the “Fourth Related Party Note”) with a total maximum aggregate loan amount of $10.0 million. All amounts borrowed under the Fourth Related Party Note plus all accrued interest thereon were originally due and payable in full on April 13, 2025, provided that we had the right to extend such maturity date for up to two years at our discretion. Interest on the Fourth Related Party Note began to accrue effective April 13, 2022. The principal amount of the loan under the Fourth Related Party Note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to one-year SOFR plus 8.75%; provided, however, that such interest rate will be increased to a rate per annum equal to one-year SOFR plus 9.75% if the Fourth Related Party Note is subordinated to another lender. The Fourth Related Party Note was repaid in full on April 11, 2025. The balance of the Fourth Related Party Note was $0 and $10 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
From January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024 Moody Capital made a series of advances to us to meet our specific cash flow needs. These advances were memorialized in a promissory note (the “Fifth Related Party Note”) with a total maximum aggregate loan amount of $10.0 million. All amounts borrowed under the Fifth Related Party Note plus all accrued interest thereon will be due and payable in full on January 1, 2026, provided that we had the right to extend such maturity date for up to two years at our discretion. Interest on the Fifth Related Party Note began to accrue effective January 1, 2024. The principal amount of the loan under the Fifth Related Party Note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to one-year SOFR plus 8.75%; provided, however, that such interest rate will be increased to a rate per annum equal to one-year SOFR plus 9.75% if the Fifth Related Party Note is subordinated to another lender. The Fifth Related Party Note was repaid in full on February 7, 2025. The balance of the Fifth Related Party Note was $0 and $10 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Interest will be paid on all amounts outstanding under the Related Party Note, the Second Related Party Note and the Third Related Party Note, as permitted by our available cash flow, or from the excess proceeds following a sale of a property after the payment of expenses and amounts due to any senior lender, if applicable, and will be compounded semi-annually. We expect to enter into a mutually agreeable subordination agreement with any such senior lender. We may prepay any amounts due under the Related Party Note, the Second Related Party Note, and the Third Related Party Note without any prepayment penalty. Accrued interest on notes payable to related party was $11.9 million and $14.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, the outstanding principal balance of the Related Party Note, the Second Related Party Note, and the Third Related Party Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, will be repaid in full prior to the payment of any liquidating distributions to our stockholders (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders).
Economic Injury Disaster Loans
We have obtained fifteen loans of $500,000 each (an aggregate of $7.5 million) from the U.S. Small Business Administration. The U.S. Small Business Administration loans will be due in monthly installments of principal and interest beginning two years from the dates of the loans with balances due November 1951. The monthly installments are applied to accrued interest first, then to principal. The U.S. Small Business Administration loans bear interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum and are secured by our tangible and intangible personal property. The aggregate balance of the U.S. Small Business Administration was $6.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, the outstanding principal balance of the U.S. Small Business Administration loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, will be repaid in full prior to the payment of any liquidating distributions to our stockholders (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders).
Aggregate Indebtedness
As of June 30, 2025, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $148.8 million, which amount includes (i) the mortgage loans secured by each of our hotel properties (including debt associated with properties acquired in the Mergers) and the loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration in the aggregate principal amount of $120.8 million, and (ii) the Related Party Note, the Second Related Party Note, and the Third Related Party Note, in the aggregate principal amount of $28.0 million. Our aggregate borrowings are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. “Net assets” for purposes of this calculation is defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, we may temporarily borrow in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets if such excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with an explanation for such excess. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt levels did not exceed 300% of the value of our net assets.

Organization and Offering Costs
Our organization and offering expenses may be incurred directly by us or may be incurred by our advisor on our behalf. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we will reimburse our advisor for organizational and offering expenses associated with our public offerings incurred by our advisor on our behalf, provided that within 60 days of the last day of the month in which any public offering ends, our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent that organization and offering costs we have incurred in connection with such public offering exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in such offering. As of January 16, 2018, our advisor assumed responsibility for the payment of all selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid in connection with our public offering. We will not reimburse our advisor for the selling commissions and fees it paid on our behalf, however our advisor intends to recoup all or a portion of such amounts over time through receipt of the contingent advisor payment, as discussed in Note 6, “Related Party Arrangements” to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
As of June 30, 2025, total organization and offering expenses for our initial public offering and follow-on offering were $21.1 million, comprised of $12.3 million of expenses incurred directly by us and $8.8 million in expenses incurred by and reimbursable to our advisor (excluding the selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid on our behalf by our advisor effective as of January 16, 2018). Total organization and offering expenses for the initial public offering were $18.4 million, comprised of $12.3 million of expenses incurred directly by us and $6.1 million in expenses incurred by and reimbursable to our advisor (excluding the selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid on our behalf by our advisor). As of June 30, 2025, total organization and offering expenses for the follow-on offering were $2.7 million, comprised of $0 of expenses incurred directly by us and $2.7 million in expenses incurred by and reimbursable to our advisor (excluding the selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid on our behalf by our advisor). As of June 30, 2025, we had $0 due to our advisor for reimbursable offering costs.
All offering costs, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in-capital, and all organization costs are recorded as an expense when we have an obligation to reimburse our advisor.
Operating Expenses
We will reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services it provides to us, subject to the limitation that we will not reimburse our advisor for any amount by which our operating expenses (including the asset management fee we pay to our advisor) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (1) 2% of our average invested assets, or (2) 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period, which we refer to as the “2%/25% Limitation.” Notwithstanding the above, we may reimburse our advisor for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% Limitation if a majority of our independent directors determine that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2025, our total operating expenses were $6.6 million, which included $4.5 million in operating expenses incurred directly by us and $2.1 million in operating expenses incurred by our advisor on our behalf. Of that $6.6 million in total operating expenses incurred during the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2025, $0 exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation. We reimbursed our advisor for $2.1 million in operating expenses during the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.0 million due to our advisor for operating expense reimbursements.

Critical Accounting Policies
General
We consider the accounting policies described below to be critical because they involve significant judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions is different, it is possible that different accounting policies will be applied or different amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses will be recorded, resulting in a different presentation of the consolidated financial statements or different amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Income Taxes
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We did not meet all of the qualifications to be a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from July 25, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014, including not having the requisite number of shareholders for a sufficient number of days in those periods. Prior to qualifying to be taxed as a REIT we were subject to normal federal and state corporation income taxes.
Provided that we continue to qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, so long as we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) and satisfy the other organizational and operational requirements for REIT qualification. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
We lease the hotels that we acquire to a wholly owned TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes.
We account for income taxes of our TRS using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We record a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized.
We have reviewed tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarify the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We had no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025.
The preparation of our various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities. A revision to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. At this time, a range in which our estimates may change is not expected to be material. We will account for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax provisions in the current period’s results of operations, if necessary. We have tax years 2020 through 2024 remaining subject to examination by various federal and state tax jurisdictions.

Valuation and Allocation of Hotel Properties — Acquisitions
Upon acquisition, the purchase price of hotel properties is allocated to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land, buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment, any assumed debt, identified intangible assets and asset retirement obligations, if any, based on their fair values. Acquisition costs are charged to expense as incurred. Initial valuations are subject to change during the measurement period, but the measurement period ends as soon as the information is available. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Land fair values are derived from appraisals, and building fair values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or our estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods. The fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment is based on their fair value using replacement costs less depreciation.
We determine the fair value of any assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that we believe we could obtain at the date of acquisition. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan as interest expense.
In allocating the purchase price of each of our properties, we make assumptions and use various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets and discount rates used to determine present values. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third-party appraisals. However, we are responsible for the source and use of these estimates. These estimates are based on judgment and subject to being imprecise; accordingly, if different estimates and assumptions were derived, the valuation of the various categories of our hotel properties or related intangibles could, in turn, result in a difference in the depreciation or amortization expense recorded in our consolidated financial statements. These variances could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.
Impairment of Hotel Properties
We monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of a hotel property may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset from operating activities and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value for assets held for use and fair value less costs to sell for assets held for sale. Loss on impairment of hotel properties were $7.0 million and $21.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
In evaluating a hotel property for impairment, we make several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the property, the estimated future cash flows of the property during our ownership and the projected sales price of the property. A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in a change in the estimated undiscounted cash flows or fair value of our hotel properties which could then result in different conclusions regarding impairment and material changes to our consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of loss on impairment of our hotel properties, see Note 3, “Investment in Hotel Properties, Real Estate Assets Held for Sale, and Dispositions.”
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which requires entities to expand disclosures regarding the reconciliation of income tax rate and the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdiction.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting” which requires entities to disclose additional and more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses.
Other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed in the foregoing paragraph have been excluded because they are either not relevant to us, or not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Inflation
As of June 30, 2025, our investments consisted of ownership interests in nine hotel properties. Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may, however, limit the operators’ ability to raise room rates. As of June 30, 2025, we were not experiencing any material impact from inflation.
REIT Compliance
We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2016. To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined for this purpose without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain) to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year following the taxable year in which we initially elect to be taxed as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which our REIT qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. We did not meet all of the qualifications to be a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the period from July 25, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014.
| 38 |
Distributions
On March 24, 2020, our board unanimously approved the indefinite suspension of the payment of distributions to our stockholders, effective immediately, and the operations of the DRP, effective as of April 6, 2020. We do not expect to resume the payment of distributions, other than any liquidating distributions paid to our stockholders from the net proceeds of our liquidation (if the Plan of Liquidation is approved by our stockholders).
We did not make any distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had cash used in operating activities of $25.6 million, and $(6.7) million in funds from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had cash used in operating activities of $3.4 million, and $(2.8) million in funds from operations. Of the $54.5 million in total distributions we have paid during the period from our inception through June 30, 2025, including shares issued pursuant to the DRP, 0% was funded from cash flow from operations and 100% was funded from offering proceeds.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by operations. Cash generated from operations is not equivalent to net income as determined under GAAP. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as Funds from Operations, or FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO because, in our view, FFO is a meaningful supplemental performance measure in conjunction with net income.
Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. As a result, in addition to FFO, we also calculate modified funds from operations, or MFFO, a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure that our management uses in evaluating our operating performance. Similar to FFO, MFFO excludes items such as depreciation and amortization. However, MFFO excludes non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, such as amortization of certain in-place lease intangible assets and liabilities and the amortization of certain tenant incentives. Our calculation of MFFO will exclude these items, as well as the effects of straight-line rent revenue recognition, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, non-cash impairment charges and certain other items, when applicable. Our calculation of MFFO will also include, when applicable, items such as master lease rental receipts, which are excluded from net income (loss) and FFO, but which we consider in the evaluation of the operating performance of our real estate investments.
We believe that MFFO reflects the overall impact on the performance of our real estate investments of occupancy rates, rental rates, property operating costs and development activities, as well as general and administrative expenses and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income (loss). As such, we believe MFFO, in addition to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP, is a meaningful supplemental performance measure which is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and determine our operating, financing and dividend policies.
Please see the limitations listed below associated with the use of MFFO as compared to net income (loss):
| ● | Our calculation of MFFO will exclude any gains (losses) related to changes in estimated values of derivative instruments related to any interest rate swaps which we hold. Although we expect to hold these instruments to maturity, if we were to settle these instruments prior to maturity, it would have an impact on our operations. We do not currently hold any such derivate instruments and thus our calculation of MFFO set forth in the table below does not reflect any such exclusion. |
| ● | Our calculation of MFFO will exclude any impairment charges related to long-lived assets that have been written down to current market valuations. Although these losses will be included in the calculation of net income (loss), we will exclude them from MFFO because we believe doing so will more appropriately present the operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis. We have not recognized any such impairment charges and thus our calculation of MFFO set forth in the table below does not reflect any such exclusion. |
| ● | Our calculation of MFFO will exclude organizational and offering expenses and acquisition expenses. Although organizational and acquisition expenses reduce net income, we fund such costs with proceeds from our offering and acquisition-related indebtedness, and do not consider these expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance and determining MFFO. Offering expenses do not affect net income. Our calculation of MFFO set forth in the table below reflects the exclusion of acquisition expenses. |
| 39 |
We believe MFFO is useful to investors in evaluating how our portfolio might perform after our offering and acquisition stage has been completed and, as a result, may provide an indication of the sustainability of our distributions in the future. However, as described in greater detail below, MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or as an indication of our liquidity. Many of the adjustments to MFFO are similar to adjustments required by SEC rules for the presentation of pro forma business combination disclosures, particularly acquisition expenses, gains or losses recognized in business combinations and other activity not representative of future activities. MFFO is also more comparable in evaluating our performance over time and as compared to other real estate companies, which may not be as involved in acquisition activities or as affected by impairments and other non-operating charges.
MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. However, MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO. Investors are cautioned that, due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and, given the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.
The calculation of FFO and MFFO may vary from entity to entity because capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Consequently, our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. In addition, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. In particular, acquisition costs and other adjustments, which are increases to MFFO, may be a significant use of cash. MFFO also excludes impairment charges, rental revenue adjustments and unrealized gains and losses related to certain other fair value adjustments. Accordingly, both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.
The table below summarizes our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial performance measures to our net loss (all $ amounts in thousands).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with our advisor and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and may continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our advisor or its affiliates in connection with the services our advisor and its affiliates provide to us. See Note 6, “Related Party Arrangements,” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Subsequent Events
In preparing the consolidated financial statements included herein, we evaluated all subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through August 13, 2025, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available for issuance.

| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Market Risk
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of real estate in the future. We will seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
With regard to variable rate financing, our advisor will assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our advisor maintains risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy will be designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on an investment in our company may be reduced.
As of June 30, 2025, our indebtedness, as described below, was comprised of notes secured by our hotel properties. All such notes accrue interest at a fixed rate, except for the Hyatt Place North Charleston, the Hampton Inn Austin and the Hampton Inn Houston mortgage loans which bear interest at floating rates, and, therefore, an increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on our interest expense with respect to such notes. Interest rate changes will affect the fair value of any fixed rate instruments that we hold. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our mortgage notes payable secured by the respective assets, consisted of the following (all $ amounts in thousands):

Each of our hotel properties are subject to a mortgage loan bearing interest at a fixed rate secured by our ownership interest in the property, except for the Hyatt Place North Charleston, the Hampton Inn Austin and the Hampton Inn Houston mortgage loans, which bear interest at floating rates.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk. Credit risk in our investments in debt and securities relates to each individual borrower’s ability to make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage credit risk through our advisor’s comprehensive credit analysis prior to making an investment, actively monitoring our asset portfolio and the underlying credit quality of our holdings and subordination and diversification of our portfolio. Our analysis is based on a broad range of real estate, financial, economic and borrower-related factors which we believe are critical to the evaluation of credit risk inherent in a transaction.

| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting further described below.
Despite the identified material weakness, management concluded that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems will be met. These inherent limitations include the following: judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes, controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its state goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instance of fraud, if any, have been detected.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. In making that assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, our management believes that, as of June 30, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective based on those criteria.
Management noted the following deficiency that management believes to be a material weakness:
| - | Lack of sufficient controls around inputs and assumptions used in management’s impairment analysis. |
In response to the above identified weakness in our internal control over inputs and assumptions used in our analysis of properties for impairment, we plan to improve these weaknesses in our evaluation. We expect to conclude these remediation initiatives during the year ending December 31, 2025. We continue to evaluate testing of our internal control policies and procedures, including assessing internal and external resources that may be available to complete these tasks, but do not know when these tasks will be completed.
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
| ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. |
From time to time, we may be party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.
| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS. |
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
We can provide no assurances that the Plan of Liquidation will be approved by our stockholders, or if it is, that we will be able to successfully implement the Plan of Liquidation.
Although our board of directors has approved the sale of all of our assets and our dissolution pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, approval of the Plan of Liquidation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the shares of common stock outstanding. We can provide no assurances as to the ultimate approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, the timing of the liquidation of our company following approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, or the amount of liquidating distributions (if any) that we may pay to our stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation.
If the Plan of Liquidation is not approved by our stockholders, our board of directors will continue to meet to evaluate other strategic alternatives to pursue in the best interest of our company and our stockholders, including, without limitation, continuing to operate under our current business plan or seeking approval of a plan of liquidation at a future date. However, if we are unable to obtain the required stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation, we may be unable to meet our maturing debt obligations in the near term, which may result in the initiation of foreclosure proceedings by the lenders.
If any of the parties to our future sale agreements default thereunder, or if these sales do not otherwise close, our liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced.
Prior to the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, we may enter agreements to sell certain of our properties. Any such agreements entered into prior to the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders will provide that the closing of the sales of such properties will be subject to the approval of the Plan of Liquidation, among other closing conditions. If our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, we will seek to enter into further agreements for the sale of each of our remaining properties, which agreements will also provide for various closing conditions. If any of the transactions contemplated by the sale agreements we enter into do not close because of a buyer default, the failure of a closing condition to be satisfied or for any other reason, we will need to locate a new buyer for the properties subject to such agreements, which we may be unable to do promptly or at prices or on terms that are as favorable as the original sale agreement. We will also incur additional costs involved in locating a new buyer for, and negotiating a new sale agreement with respect to, any such properties. In the event that we incur such additional costs, the amount of our liquidating distributions, if any, may be delayed or reduced.
If we are unable to find buyers for some or all of our properties within our expected timeframe or at our expected sales prices, our liquidating distributions (if any) may be delayed or reduced.
Subject to the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, we intend to sell all of our remaining properties. However, there can be no assurance that any of our properties will sell within our expected timeframe or for their projected sales prices. Our ability to successfully implement the Plan of Liquidation and pay any liquidating distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected by volatility experienced by the U.S. and global economies, the U.S. hospitality market as a whole and/or the local economies in the markets in which our properties are located. Such adverse economic conditions may be due to, among other issues, concerns over inflation and interest rates, volatility in the public equity and debt markets, pandemics and infectious disease outbreaks, geopolitical instability, tariffs imposed by the United States on certain foreign goods and retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods imposed by other countries, social unrest and other economic and geopolitical conditions beyond our control. Such current conditions, or similar conditions existing in the future, may adversely affect our ability to locate buyers for our remaining properties or the price at which such properties may be sold and may delay the completion of the sales of such properties.
In order to find buyers for our properties in a timely manner, we may be required to lower our asking price below the low end of our current estimate of a property’s market value. Further, due to our substantial amount of leverage as a result of decreased real estate values, the ultimate net proceeds from our liquidation paid to our stockholders (if any) may be significantly impacted by small changes in real estate value. If we are not able to find buyers for our properties in a timely manner or if we have overestimated the sales prices we will receive for our properties, any liquidating distributions we pay may be delayed or reduced. Furthermore, real estate market values are constantly changing and fluctuate with changes in interest rates, supply and demand dynamics, the availability of suitable buyers and financing, the perceived quality and dependability of cash flows from properties and a number of other factors, both local and national. In addition, higher than anticipated transactional fees and expenses, environmental liabilities of which we are unaware or other unknown liabilities, if any, may adversely impact the net liquidation proceeds to us from the sale of our properties. No assurance can be given as to the amount, if any, of liquidating distributions our stockholders will ultimately receive.
If our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, we will have the authority to sell our assets under such terms as we deem appropriate without further stockholder approval.
If our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, we will have the authority to sell all of our properties on such terms and to such parties as our Advisor determines in its sole discretion. Notably, our stockholders will have no subsequent opportunity to vote on such matters and will, therefore, have no right to approve or disapprove the terms of such property sales.
| 43 |
If our liquidation costs or unpaid liabilities are greater than we expect, any liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced.
Before paying a final liquidating distribution (if any), we will need to pay or arrange for the payment of all of our transaction costs and expenses associated with the liquidation, all other costs and expenses and all valid claims of our creditors. Our board may also decide to establish one or more reserve funds or escrow accounts to meet our known liabilities and liquidating expenses and our estimated, unascertained or contingent liabilities and expenses. Our board may also decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us or our directors and officers, for which we would pay a premium that has not yet been determined. The amounts of the various transaction costs associated with our liquidation are not yet final and our estimates of such costs may prove to be inaccurate. To the extent that we have underestimated such costs, our actual net proceeds from liquidation per share may be lower than anticipated. If the claims of our creditors are greater than we have anticipated or we decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us or our directors and officers, our liquidating distributions (if any) may be delayed or reduced. Further, if we establish a reserve fund, the payment of any liquidating distributions to our stockholders may be delayed or reduced. No assurance can be given as to the amount, if any, of liquidating distributions our stockholders will ultimately receive. After the payment of all our liabilities and expenses and the establishment of applicable reserves, there may not be proceeds from our liquidation available for the payment of any liquidating distributions.
Our entity value may be adversely affected by adoption of the Plan of Liquidation.
If our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, we expect to be committed to winding-up our operations and dissolving. This may adversely affect the value that a potential acquirer might place on our company. It may also preclude other beneficial courses of action not yet identified by our board.
There can be no assurance that a planned liquidation pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation will maximize stockholder value to a greater extent at this time than would otherwise occur through other strategic alternatives.
If our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, they will no longer participate in any future earnings or benefit from any increases in the value of our properties once such properties are sold. Although our board and management believe that a planned liquidation is in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, it is possible that pursuing one or more of the other alternatives, including those not yet identified by our board, would maximize stockholder value to a greater extent at this time. In that case, we will be foregoing those opportunities if we implement the Plan of Liquidation.
Approval of the Plan of Liquidation may lead to stockholder litigation, which could result in substantial costs and distract our management.
Extraordinary corporate actions by a company, such as the proposed Plan of Liquidation, sometimes lead to lawsuits being filed against that company. We may become involved in this type of litigation in connection with the Plan of Liquidation. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no such lawsuits relative to the Plan of Liquidation were pending or, to our knowledge, threatened. However, we could incur significant costs and expenses in connection with the litigation, which could reduce the amount of any liquidating distributions we pay. In addition, the litigation could divert management’s attention from implementing the Plan of Liquidation.
In certain circumstances, our board of directors may terminate, amend, modify or delay implementation of the Plan of Liquidation even if it is approved by our stockholders.
Our board of directors has adopted and approved the Plan of Liquidation. Nevertheless, prior to the acceptance for record of our Articles of Dissolution by the state of Maryland, our board may terminate the Plan of Liquidation for any reason without stockholder approval. Further, notwithstanding approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders, our board of directors, or, if a liquidating trust is established, trustees of the liquidating trust, may make certain modifications or amendments to the Plan of Liquidation without further action by or approval of our stockholders to the extent permitted under law. Although our board has no present intention to pursue any alternative to the Plan of Liquidation, our board may conclude that terminating the Plan of Liquidation is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. If our board elects to pursue any alternative to the Plan of Liquidation, our stockholders would not receive any liquidating distributions pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation.
| 44 |
Our stockholders could, in some circumstances, be held liable for amounts they received from us in connection with the Plan of Liquidation
If we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities, or if we transfer our assets to a liquidating trust and the contingency reserve and the assets held by the liquidating trust are less than the amount ultimately found payable in respect of expenses and liabilities, each of our stockholders could be held liable for the payment to our creditors of such stockholder’s pro rata portion of the excess, limited to the amounts previously received by the stockholder in distributions from us or the liquidating trust, as applicable. If a court holds at any time that we failed to make adequate provision for our expenses and liabilities or if the amount ultimately required to be paid in respect of such liabilities exceeds the amount available from the contingency reserve and the assets of the liquidating trust, our creditors could seek an injunction to prevent us from paying distributions under the Plan of Liquidation on the grounds that the amounts to be distributed are needed to provide for the payment of such expenses and liabilities. Any such action could delay or substantially diminish the amount of any liquidating distributions to be paid to our stockholders or holders of beneficial interests of any liquidating trust.
We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements following the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders.
Until our liquidation and dissolution are complete, we will have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), even if compliance with these reporting requirements is economically burdensome. If the Plan of Liquidation is approved, in order to curtail expenses, we may, after filing our Articles of Dissolution, seek relief from the SEC from certain reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. We anticipate that, if we seek such relief and it is granted, we would continue to file current reports on Form 8-K to disclose material events relating to our liquidation and dissolution, along with any other reports that the SEC might require, but would discontinue filing annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. However, we may not seek such relief or the SEC may not grant any such relief. To the extent that we delay filing the Articles of Dissolution or if we do not obtain any reporting relief from the SEC, we would be obligated to continue complying with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The expenses we incur in complying with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act would reduce the amount of any liquidating distributions we pay to our stockholders.
Our directors and officers and the Advisor and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest that may influence their support of the Plan of Liquidation and may cause them to manage our liquidation in a manner not solely in the best interest of our stockholders.
Certain of our directors and officers and our Advisor and its affiliates have interests in our liquidation that may be different from the interests of our stockholders. Consequently, our directors and officers and the Advisor and its affiliates, in some instances, may be more motivated to support the Plan of Liquidation than might otherwise be the case if they did not have such interests. In addition, due to such interests, our directors and officers and our Advisor and its affiliates may be motivated to make decisions or take actions based on factors other than the best interest of our stockholders throughout the liquidation process. Our board considered the actual and potential conflicts of interest presented by such interests in approving the Plan of Liquidation and recommending that our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation Proposal.
| 45 |
Pursuing the Plan of Liquidation may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, which would dramatically lower the amount of our liquidating distributions.
For so long as we qualify as a REIT and distribute all of our REIT taxable income, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income tax. Although our board does not presently intend to terminate our REIT status prior to paying the final liquidating distribution to our stockholders and our dissolution, our board may take actions pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation that would result in such a loss of REIT status. Upon payment of the final liquidating distribution and our dissolution, our legal existence and our REIT status will terminate. However, there is a risk that our actions during the liquidation process may cause us to fail to meet one or more of the requirements that must be met in order to qualify as a REIT prior to completion of the Plan of Liquidation. For example, to qualify as a REIT, generally at least 75% of our gross income in each taxable year must come from real estate sources and generally at least 95% of our gross income in each taxable year must come from real estate sources and certain other sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws, mainly interest and dividends. We may encounter difficulties satisfying these requirements during the liquidation process. In addition, in connection with that process, we may recognize ordinary income in excess of the cash received. The REIT rules require us to pay out a large portion of our ordinary income in the form of a dividend to our stockholders. However, to the extent that we recognize ordinary income without any cash available for distribution, and if we were unable to borrow to fund the required dividend or find another way to meet the REIT distribution requirements, we may cease to qualify as a REIT. Although we expect to comply with the requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, if we are unable to do so, we will, among other things (unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions):
| ● | not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income; |
| ● | be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income, including recognized gains, at regular corporate rates; |
| ● | be subject to increased state and local taxes; and |
| ● | be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the taxable year in which we lose our qualification and for the four following taxable years. |
As a result of these consequences, our failure to qualify as a REIT could substantially reduce the amount of liquidating distributions we pay to our stockholders.
Pursuing the Plan of Liquidation may cause us to be subject to federal corporate income tax, which would reduce the amount of our liquidating distributions.
We generally are not subject to federal income tax to the extent that we distribute to our stockholders during each taxable year (or, under certain circumstances, during the subsequent taxable year) dividends equal to our taxable income for the year. However, we are subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that our taxable income exceeds the amount of dividends paid to our stockholders for the taxable year. In addition, we are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for that year, plus 95% of our capital gain net income for that year, plus 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. Although we intend to pay distributions to our stockholders sufficient to avoid the imposition of any federal income tax on our taxable income and the imposition of the excise tax, differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and the inclusion of such income and deduction of such expenses in arriving at our taxable income, could cause us to have to either borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the REIT distribution requirements, find another alternative for meeting the REIT distribution requirements, or pay federal income and excise taxes. The cost of borrowing or the payment of federal income and excise taxes would reduce the amount of liquidating distributions we pay to our stockholders.
So long as we continue to qualify as a REIT, any net gain from “prohibited transactions” will be subject to a 100% tax. “Prohibited transactions” are sales of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. The prohibited transactions tax is intended to prevent a REIT from retaining any profit from the sales of properties held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The Internal Revenue Code provides for a “safe harbor” which, if all its conditions are met, would protect a REIT’s property sales from being considered prohibited transactions. Whether property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is a highly factual determination. We believe that all of our properties are held for investment and the production of rental income, and that none of the sales of our properties will constitute a prohibited transaction. We do not believe that the sales of our properties pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation should be subject to the prohibited transactions tax. However, due to the anticipated sales volume and other factors, the contemplated sales may not qualify for the protective safe harbor. There can, however, be no assurances that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge the characterization of properties we hold for purposes of applying the prohibited transaction tax.
Distributing beneficial interests in a liquidating trust may trigger tax consequences to our stockholders.
The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code generally require that each year we distribute as a dividend to our stockholders 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Any liquidating distributions that we pay pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation will qualify for the dividends paid deduction, provided that they are paid within 24 months of the adoption of such plan. Conditions may arise which cause us not to be able to liquidate within such 24-month period. For instance, it may not be possible to sell our properties at acceptable prices during such period. In such event, rather than retain our properties and risk losing our status as a REIT, we may elect to transfer our remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust in order to meet the 24-month requirement. Such a transfer would be treated as a distribution of our remaining assets to our stockholders, followed by a contribution of the assets to the liquidating trust. As a result, a stockholder would recognize gain to the extent such stockholder’s share of the cash and the fair market value of any assets received by the liquidating trust was greater than the stockholder’s basis in our stock, notwithstanding that the stockholder would not contemporaneously receive a distribution of cash or any other assets with which to satisfy the resulting tax liability. To the extent such stockholder’s share of the cash and the fair market value of any assets received by the liquidating trust is less than the stockholder’s basis in our stock, such loss is expected to be recognizable at the time of the transfer to the liquidating trust, but not before such time. In addition, it is possible that the fair market value of the assets received by the liquidating trust, as estimated for purposes of determining the extent of the stockholder’s gain at the time the beneficial interests in the liquidating trust are distributed to the stockholders, will exceed the cash or fair market value of property received by the liquidating trust on a sale of the assets. In this case, the stockholder would recognize a loss in a taxable year subsequent to the taxable year in which the gain was recognized, which loss may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.
