| 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 the Plan of Liquidation, 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 and our stockholders have 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 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 in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. |
| ● | We may face unanticipated difficulties, delays or expenditures relating to our implementation of the Plan of Liquidation, which may reduce or delay our payment of any liquidating distributions to our stockholders. If we underestimated our existing obligations and liabilities or if unanticipated or contingent liabilities arise, the amount of liquidating distributions ultimately paid to our stockholders, if any, could be less than estimated. |
| ● | 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. Because no public trading market for our shares currently exists and because our share repurchase program has been terminated, our stockholders may not realize any cash value for their shares until we complete our liquidation pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation. |
| ● | 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. |
| ● | 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. |
| ● | 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, 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. |
| ● | Our concentration of investments in the hospitality sector leaves our profitability vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in the sector. |
| ● | If our investments are concentrated in a geographic area that experiences adverse economic conditions, our investments may lose value and we may experience losses. |
| ● | If we do not successfully attract and retain franchise flagships for premier-brand, select-service hotel properties, our business will suffer. |
| ● | We may have difficulty selling our properties, which may limit our ability to pay liquidating distributions, and we may be forced to dispose of properties at a time or upon terms that we would not otherwise choose in order to repay the financing secured by such properties. |
| ● | Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on the financial condition of co-venturers and disputes between us and our co-venturers. |
| ● | The inability of hotel managers to effectively operate our properties may hurt our financial performance. |
| ● | Our properties face significant competition. |
| ● | We may change our operational policies without stockholder consent. |
| ● | We have incurred mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which may increase our business risks, could hinder our ability to make distributions and could decrease the value of our shares. |
| ● | Volatility in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms and our ability to service any future indebtedness that we may incur. |
| ● | Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and negatively impact our operating results. |
| ● | Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations. |
| ● | The time and resources that affiliates of our sponsor devote to us may be diverted, and we may face additional competition due to the fact that affiliates of our sponsor are not prohibited from raising money for, or managing, other business entities. |
| ● | We depend on our advisor to select our investments and otherwise conduct our business, and any material adverse change in its financial condition or our relationship with our advisor could have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to achieve our investment objectives. |
| ● | If we fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), and no relief provisions apply, we will face serious tax consequences that will substantially reduce the funds available to satisfy our obligations and to implement our business strategy. |
| ● | Compliance with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments. |
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.
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 8, "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 September 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.
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.
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.
The Plan of Liquidation became effective upon the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our stockholders on September 30, 2025. We can provide no assurances as to the timing of the liquidation of our assets pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, or the amount of liquidating distributions (if any) that we may pay to our stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation.
Pursuant to our approved 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. While pursuing our liquidation pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, 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 sale, and (ii) identify purchasers for our properties.
For more information, see the Plan of Liquidation, which is included as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 September 30, 2025, we owned interests in nine hotel properties located in five states, comprising a total of 1,210 rooms. As of September 30, 2024, we owned interests in fifteen hotel properties located in six states, comprising a total of 2,123 rooms. During the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2025 versus the three months ended September 30, 2024
Revenue
Hotel revenue decreased to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $20.7 million for the three months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The table below sets forth a comparison of hotel revenues for the hotels owned continuously for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (all $ amounts in thousands).

Revenues decreased for all hotel properties except the Hampton Inn Austin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Hotel Operating Expenses
Hotel operating expenses decreased to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $14.5 million for the three months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other
Property taxes, insurance and other expenses decreased to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $1.4 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. These general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of asset management fees, professional fees and directors' fees.
Loss on Impairment of Hotel Properties
Loss on impairment of hotel properties was $14.7 million and $18.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized loss on impairment of hotel properties to adjust the carrying amount to estimated fair value of the Homewood Suites Woodlands, Hyatt Place Germantown, Hyatt Place North Charleston, Hampton Inn Austin, Hampton Inn Great Valley, Homewood Suites Austin, and Hampton Inn Houston during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the Embassy Suites Nashville, Residence Inn Austin, and Residence Inn Houston Medical Center during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs
Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs decreased to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $4.8 million for the three months ended September 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.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
Our income tax benefit was $(12,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to our income tax expense of $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to an decrease in state taxable income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2024

Hotel Operating Expenses
Hotel operating expenses decreased to $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other
Property taxes, insurance and other expenses decreased to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of asset management fees, professional fees and directors' fees.
Loss on Impairment of Hotel Properties
Loss on impairment of hotel properties was $21.7 million and $39.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized loss on impairment of hotel properties to adjust the carrying amount to estimated fair value of the Homewood Suites Woodlands, Hyatt Place Germantown, Hyatt Place North Charleston, Hampton Inn Austin, Hampton Inn Great Valley, Homewood Suites Austin, and Hampton Inn Houston during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the Residence Inn Austin, Marriott Courtyard Lyndhurst, Embassy Suites Nashville, Townplace Suites Forth Worth and Residence Inn Houston Medical Center during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs
Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs decreased to $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 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 $226,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $126,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to an increase in state taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 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 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 pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation.
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 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.
As described in Note 1, "Plan of Liquidation," our board of directors and our stockholders have approved the sale of all of our assets and our dissolution pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Liquidation. The principal purpose of the Plan of Liquidation is to provide liquidity to our stockholders by selling our assets, paying our debts and distributing the net proceeds from liquidation to our stockholders. We intend to continue the orderly sale of our remaining properties in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. 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 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.
We expect our principal demands for funds during the short and long-term are and will be for the payment of operating expenses, interest on our outstanding indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, including expenses in connection with the Plan of Liquidation, and payments of distributions to stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation. We expect to use our cash on hand as our primary source of liquidity. To the extent available, we also intend to use cash flow generated by our real estate investments; however, asset sales will further reduce cash flow from these sources.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, capital expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures, all of which may be adversely affected by the general market conditions impacting commercial real estate and our tenants as discussed above.
As of September 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $6.2 million and we had $10.1 million of restricted cash (funds held by the lenders for property taxes, insurance, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital expenditures, rollover reserves and other financing needs).
We believe that our cash on hand, along with other potential sources of liquidity that we may be able to obtain, may not be sufficient to fund our working capital needs and debt obligations through the completion of the Plan of Liquidation. The fixed costs associated with managing a public REIT, including the significant cost of corporate compliance with all federal, state and local regulatory requirements applicable to us with respect to our business activities, are substantial. Such costs include, without limitation, the cost of preparing or causing to be prepared all financial statements required under applicable regulations and contractual undertakings and all reports, documents and filings required under the Exchange Act, or other federal or state laws for the general maintenance of our status as a REIT, under the applicable provisions of the Code, or otherwise. Given the size of our portfolio of properties, these costs constitute a significant percentage of our gross income, reducing our net income and cash flow. Moreover, over the long term, if we are unsuccessful in implementing the Plan of Liquidation and our cash flow from operations does not increase from current levels, whether through increased occupancy or rent rates, we will have to address a liquidity deficiency as our cash flow is not sufficient to cover our current operating expenses over the long term. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of uncertainties, including with respect to the current economic environment and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful with our plan.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities
As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, we owned interests in nine and fifteen hotel properties, respectively. Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $(25.4) million and $808,000, respectively.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, net cash provided (used) by investing activities was $118.0 million and $(1.2) million, respectively.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 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 was $(105.5) million and $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $16.3 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 September 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 6, "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. As of September 30, 2025, the mortgage loans secured by four of our nine remaining hotel properties, representing approximately $51.0 million in maturing indebtedness, mature during the remainder of 2025. 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 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 9.00% as of September 30, 2025. The balance of the Related Party Note was $10.0 million as of September 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 have 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 11.00% as of September 30, 2025. The balance of the Second Related Party Note was $10.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
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 have elected to fully extend such maturity date to August 20, 2026. 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 12.00% as of September 30, 2025. The balance of the Third Related Party Note was $8.0 million and $10 million as of September 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 September 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 September 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 $12.6 million and $14.5 million as of September 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.
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 September 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.
Aggregate Indebtedness
As of September 30, 2025, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $148.2 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 $120.2 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt levels did not exceed 300% of the value of our net assets.
For more information on our outstanding indebtedness, see Note 6, "Debt" to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

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 8, "Related Party Arrangements" to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
As of September 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 September 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 September 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 September 30, 2025, our total operating expenses were $6.0 million, which included $3.8 million in operating expenses incurred directly by us and $2.2 million in operating expenses incurred by our advisor on our behalf. Of that $6.0 million in total operating expenses incurred during the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2025, $0 exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation. We reimbursed our advisor for $2.2 million in operating expenses during the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we had $400,000 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.
Real Estate - Liquidation Basis of Accounting
As of September 30, 2025, our investments in real estate were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value, or liquidation value, to reflect the change to the liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation value represents the estimated amount of cash or other consideration we expect to realize through the disposal of its assets, as it carries out the Plan of Liquidation. The liquidation value of investments in real estate was based on a number of factors including discounted cash flow and direct capitalization analyses, detailed analysis of current market comparables and broker opinions of value. The liquidation values of our investments in real estate are presented on an undiscounted basis and investments in real estate are no longer depreciated. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, all changes in the estimated liquidation value of the investments in real estate are reflected as a change to our net assets in liquidation.
Revenue Recognition - Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we have accrued all income that it expects to earn through the completion of its liquidation to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. Revenue from hotels is estimated based on projections through the anticipated disposition date of the property. These amounts are presented net of estimated expenses and other liquidation costs and are classified in liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.
Accrued Liquidation Costs - Liquidation Basis of Accounting
In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, we accrue for certain estimated liquidation costs to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. These consist of legal fees, dissolution costs, final audit/tax costs, insurance, and transfer agent related costs.
Valuation and Allocation of Hotel Properties - Acquisitions - Going Concern Basis
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 - Going Concern Basis
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 $14.7 million and $21.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025
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 5, "Investment in Hotel Properties, Real Estate Assets Held for Sale, and Dispositions."
Inflation
As of September 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 September 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.
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.
We did not make any distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had cash used in operating activities of $25.4 million, and $(8.4) million in funds from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had cash provided by operating activities of $808,000, and $(4.9) million in funds from operations. Of the $54.5 million in total distributions we have paid during the period from our inception through September 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. |
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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial performance measures to our net loss (all $ amounts in thousands).
