MHI HOSPITALITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-advised real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service upper-upscale, upscale and mid-scale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Southeastern regions of the United States. The hotels operate under well-known national hotel brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton and Holiday Inn.

The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (“initial properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, MHI Hospitality, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which is approximately 65.0% owned by the Company, leases its hotels to a subsidiary of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages a hotel management company to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

Significant transactions occurring during the current and prior fiscal year include the following:

On March 29, 2007, the Company closed a $23.0 million refinancing of the mortgage on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside. Approximately $13.8 million of the proceeds were used to satisfy the existing indebtedness. The remainder of the proceeds, approximately $9.2 million, is being used to fund renovations to the property. The new mortgage matures March 29, 2017 and bears interest at a rate of 6.21%, with payments of interest-only due for the first 24 months. Thereafter, payments of interest and principal are required under a 20-year amortization schedule.

On April 26, 2007, the Company entered into a program agreement and related operating agreements with CRP/MHI Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Carlyle Realty Partners V, L.P. and The Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”). The agreements provide for the formation of entities to be jointly owned by the Company and Carlyle, which will source, underwrite, acquire, develop and operate hotel assets and/or hotel portfolios. Under the agreement, the Company will offer the joint venture the first right to acquire potential investment opportunities identified by the Company with total capitalization requirements in excess of $30.0 million. Carlyle has agreed to commit up to $100.0 million of equity capital to the joint venture over a three-year period. Carlyle will fund up to 90% of the equity of an acquisition, and the Company will provide between 10% and 25%.

The Company will receive an asset management fee of 1.5% of the gross revenues of the hotels owned by the venture. In addition, the Company will have a first right of offer with respect to any investment disposed by the joint venture. It is expected that hotels acquired by the joint venture will be managed by MHI Hotels Services, LLC (“MHI Hotels Services”).

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit agreement with Branch Banking & Trust Company (“BB&T”), as administrative agent and lender, dated May 8, 2006. The amended credit agreement with BB&T and certain other lenders reduced the rate of interest on the Company’s revolving credit facility by 0.375%, so that it bears a rate equal to LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 1.625% to 2.125%. The amendment also reduced the capitalization rate to 8.5% from 10.0% for purposes of determining the asset value of the collateral for the credit facility. Finally, the amendment extended the maturity date of the Company’s revolving credit facility from May 8, 2010 to May 8, 2011.

On August 2, 2007, the Company closed a $23.0 million refinancing of the mortgage on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto. Approximately $9.6 million of the proceeds were used to satisfy the existing indebtedness and pay closing costs. At closing, approximately $2.4 million of the proceeds was paid to the Company. The remainder of the proceeds will be used to fund renovations to the property. The new mortgage matures August 1, 2017 and bears interest at a rate of 6.06%, with payments of interest-only due for the first 36 months. Thereafter, payments of interest and principal are required under a 20-year amortization schedule.

On August 8, 2007, through a joint venture with Carlyle, the Company completed the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, a newly renovated 311-room hotel in Hollywood, Florida for $74.0 million, with Carlyle retaining a 75% equity position. A portion of the purchase was financed with a two-year $57,600,000 non-recourse loan from Société Générale. The loan has three one-year extensions and is interest-only bearing a rate of LIBOR plus 1.94%. The hotel will be managed by MHI Hotels Services. The Company will receive an asset management fee of 1.5% of gross revenues of the hotel in addition to its share of the operating profits and proceeds of sale pursuant to the joint venture agreement.

On October 29, 2007, the Company purchased a 250-room hotel in Tampa, Florida, formerly known as the Tampa Clarion Hotel for approximately $13.8 million, including transfer costs. The hotel is located in Tampa’s Westshore corridor and is within two miles of the Tampa International Airport. The Company intends to make extensive renovations and re-open the hotel as the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore, as is consistent with the Company’s repositioning strategy, in the first quarter 2009. The Company financed the acquisition with funds drawn on its credit facility.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of MHI Hospitality Corporation as of and for and three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash – Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows and reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment pursuant to certain requirements in the Company’s mortgage agreement with MONY Life Insurance Company (“MONY”). MONY holds mortgages on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside and the Hilton Savannah DeSoto. In addition, restricted cash includes the unexpended balance of a capital improvement reserve account for the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel administered by Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company (“Mercantile”), trustee for the mortgage holder.

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties are recorded at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures under a renovation project, which constitute additions or improvements that extend the life of the property, are capitalized.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 39 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.

The Company reviews its investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized.

Properties Under Development – Investments in hotel property that have been taken out of service for an extensive renovation in anticipation of re-opening under a new brand are included in properties under development. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were two properties under development; one, in Jeffersonville, Indiana which re-opened on May 1, 2008 as the Sheraton Louisville Riverside, and one in Tampa, Florida which is expected to re-open in the first quarter 2009 as the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore.

For properties under development, interest and real estate taxes incurred during the renovation period are capitalized and depreciated over the lives of the renovated assets. Capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $561,888 and $164,400, respectively.

Investment in Joint Venture – Investment in joint venture represents the Company’s non-controlling indirect 25.0% equity interest in (i) the entity that owns the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort and (ii) the entity that leases the hotel and has engaged MHI Hotels Services to operate the hotel under a management contract. Carlyle owns a 75.0% controlling indirect interest in both the entities. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting and is entitled to receive its pro rata share of annual cash flow. The Company also has the opportunity to earn an incentive participation in net sale proceeds based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition to its pro rata share of net sale proceeds.

Derivative Instruments – The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted (“SFAS 133”). Under SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are required to be reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as an interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s interest-rate swap agreement had an estimated fair value of $(1,947,101) and $(1,180,494), respectively, and is included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The un-amortized franchise fees as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $389,195 and $347,862, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $8,698 and $6,238 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Minority Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties have been acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The minority interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners’ pro-rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Company’s common stock and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership multiplied by the limited partners’ ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company’s common stock through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the minority interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.

On March 1, 2007, two holders of units in the Operating Partnership redeemed 120,000 units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock. On August 28, 2007, one holder redeemed 50,000 units for an equivalent number of shares as well.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, rooftop leases and gift shop sales and rentals.

Occupancy and Other Taxes – Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Deferred Financing Costs – Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the statements of operations.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of its net income that does not relate to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary. MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, which leases the Company’s hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, the Company accounts for income taxes 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.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FAS No. 109”), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Corporation recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Corporation expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense. Stock-based Compensation – The Company’s 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, restricted (non-vested) stock and performance share compensation awards to its employees for up to 350,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders.

Under the Plan, the Company has made restricted stock and deferred stock awards totaling 105,613 shares including 60,000 shares granted under a deferred stock award to its Chief Operating Officer, 25,613 restricted shares issued to certain executives and employees, and 20,000 restricted shares issued to its directors. The 60,000 shares granted under the deferred stock award vest over five years. Regarding the restricted shares awarded to the Company’s directors, the shares vest at the end of the year of service for which the shares are awarded. Of the 60,000 shares granted to the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, only 10,000 shares have vested. Another 14,000 shares were issued January 14, 2008, but do not vest until January 1, 2011. The 25,613 restricted shares issued to certain of the Company’s executives and employees have all vested.

The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. Under the Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. As of March 31, 2008, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Consequently, stock-based compensation as determined under the fair-value method would be the same under the intrinsic-value method. Total compensation cost recognized under the Plan was $40,695 and $39,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss).

Segment Information – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), requires public entities to report certain information about operating segments. Based on the guidance provided in SFAS 131, the Company has determined that its business is conducted in one reportable segment, hotel ownership.

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

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net assets.

Recent Account Pronouncements – On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of SFAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years but was amended on February 6, 2008 to defer the effective date for one year for certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, which had no material impact on its financial statements.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). SFAS 157 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:


Level 1		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or
		Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
		Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3		Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our interest rate swap liability was valued by discounting future cash flows based on quoted prices for forward interest-rate contracts. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008, which had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination, recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, and determining what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for acquisitions consummated in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company expects SFAS 141R will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions the Company consummates after the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating what impact SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”(“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires expanded disclosures regarding the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, operating results and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating what impact SFAS 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

5. Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had a secured, revolving credit facility with a syndicated bank group comprised of BB&T, Key Bank National Association and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company that enables the Company to borrow up to $60.0 million, subject to borrowing base and loan-to-value limitations. The credit facility was established during the

second quarter of 2006 and replaced a $23.0 million secured, revolving credit facility with BB&T. On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit agreement reducing the rate of interest on the credit facility by 0.375%, reducing the capitalization rate to 8.5% from 10.0% for purposes of determining the asset value of the collateral for the credit facility and extending the maturity date by one year. On April 15, 2008, the Company entered into a second amendment to its credit agreement modifying certain provisions of the agreement including increases in the lenders’ revolver commitments by $20.0 million, thereby enabling the Company to borrow up to $80.0 million. The Company had borrowings of $45,887,858 and $34,387,858 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The facility matures during May 2011 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus additional interest ranging from 1.625% to 2.125%. On March 31, 2008, LIBOR was 2.70%. In some circumstances, the revolving line of credit facility may bear interest at BB&T’s prime rate. Any amounts drawn under the revolving line of credit facility mature at the expiration of the facility. The Company is required to pay a fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the credit facility. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was required to purchase an interest rate swap in order to hedge against interest rate risk.

The facility is secured by the Holiday Inn Brownstone in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Hilton Philadelphia Airport, the property under renovation in Jeffersonville, Indiana and the property under renovation in Tampa, Florida, as well as a lien on all business assets of those properties including, but not limited to, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, furniture, fixtures and proceeds thereof. At March 31, 2008, the four properties had a net carrying value of approximately $71.9 million. Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company must satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all of the required covenants.

Approximately $9.6 million of the proceeds were used to satisfy the existing indebtedness and pay closing costs. At closing, approximately $2.4 million of the proceeds was paid to the Company. The remaining $11.0 million of the proceeds will fund a product improvement plan for the hotel in connection with the Hilton relicensing. The new mortgage matures August 1, 2017 and bears interest at a rate of 6.06%, with payments of interest-only due for the first 36 months. Thereafter, payments of interest and principal are required under a 25-year amortization schedule.

The new mortgage matures March 29, 2017 and bears interest at a rate of 6.21% with payments of interest-only due for the first 24 months. Thereafter, payments of interest and principal are required under a 25-year amortization schedule.

On July 22, 2005, the Company purchased the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida from BIT Holdings Seventeen, Inc., an affiliate of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust (the “Trust”), for an aggregate price of $22.0 million. The Trust, for which Mercantile acts as trustee, financed a portion of the purchase price by extending an $18.0 million mortgage loan (the “Loan”) to the purchaser. The Loan, which is secured by a lien against all the assets, rents and profits of the hotel as well as the real property, bears interest at the rate of 8.0% payable monthly during the term and matures in July 2010.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $2.0 million; primarily due to current and past years’ net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2024 if not utilized by then. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized and that no valuation allowance is required.

13. Earnings per Share

The limited partners’ outstanding limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (which may be redeemed for common stock upon notice from the limited partners and following the Company’s election to redeem the units for stock rather than cash) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners’ share of income would also be added back to net income. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below.

On April 15, 2008, the Company entered into a second amendment to its credit agreement modifying certain provisions of the agreement including increases in the lenders’ revolver commitments by $20.0 million thereby enabling the Company to borrow up to $80.0 million.

On April 24, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of the 172-room Hampton Marina Hotel in Hampton, Virginia for the aggregate purchase price of $7.85 million. To facilitate the purchase, a subsidiary of the Company assumed $5.75 million of existing indebtedness, which bears a rate of 6.50% and matures on July 1, 2016. The loan requires payments of interest as well as escrow deposits for real estate taxes and insurance on a monthly basis. Annual payments of principal are required under a sinking fund schedule beginning July 1, 2008. The remainder of the purchase price as well as closing costs was funded with borrowings on the Company’s credit facility. The Company intends to make significant renovations and re-brand the hotel as is consistent with the Company’s repositioning strategy.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a self-advised REIT incorporated in Maryland in August 2004 to pursue opportunities in the full-service, upper upscale, upscale and mid-scale segments of the hotel industry. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (“initial properties”).

Our hotel portfolio currently consists of eight full-service, upper up-scale and mid-scale hotels with 1,971 rooms, which operate under well-known brands such as Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton and Holiday Inn. We also own 25.0% indirect non-controlling interest in the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort through a joint venture with The Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”) and we have a leasehold interest in a resort condominium facility in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.

As of March 31, 2008, we owned the following hotel properties:


Property	Number of Rooms	Location	Date of Acquisition
Operating properties
Hilton Philadelphia Airport	331	Philadelphia, PA	December 21, 2004
Holiday Inn Laurel West	207	Laurel, MD	December 21, 2004
Holiday Inn Brownstone	187	Raleigh, NC	December 21, 2004
Hilton Wilmington Riverside	272	Wilmington, NC	December 21, 2004
Hilton Savannah DeSoto	246	Savannah, GA	December 21, 2004
Crowne Plaza Jacksonville	292	Jacksonville, FL	July 22, 2005
Properties under development
Sheraton Louisville Riverside ⁽¹⁾	186	Jeffersonville, IN	September 20, 2006
Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore ⁽²⁾	250	Tampa, FL	October 29, 2007

Total	1,971

(1)	The property previously operated as the Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn re-opened in on May 1, 2008 as the Sheraton Louisville Riverside after undergoing extensive renovations.

(2)	The property formerly operated as the Tampa Clarion Hotel in Tampa, Florida is undergoing extensive renovations and is expected to re-open as the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore in the first quarter 2009.

We conduct substantially all our business through our operating partnership, MHI Hospitality, L.P. We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership, and we own an approximate 64.4% interest in our operating partnership, with the remaining interest being held by the contributors of our initial properties as limited partners.

To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate hotels. Therefore, our operating partnership leases our hotel properties to MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, our TRS Lessee. Our TRS Lessee has engaged MHI Hotels Services to manage our hotels. Our TRS Lessee, and its parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into our financial statements for accounting purposes. The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

Recent Portfolio Changes

On April 26, 2007, we entered into a program agreement and related operating agreements with CRP/MHI Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Carlyle Realty Partners V, L.P. and The Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”). The agreements provide for the formation of entities to be jointly owned by us and Carlyle, which will source, underwrite, acquire, develop and operate hotel assets and/or hotel portfolios. Under the agreement, we will offer the joint venture the first right to acquire potential investment opportunities identified by us with total capitalization requirements in excess of $30.0 million. Carlyle has agreed to commit up to $100.0 million of equity capital to the joint venture over a three-year period. Carlyle will fund up to 90% of the equity of an acquisition, and we will provide between 10% and 25%.

We will receive an asset management fee of 1.5% of the gross revenues of the hotels owned by the venture. In addition, we will have a first right of offer with respect to any investment disposed by the joint venture. It is expected that hotels acquired by the joint venture will be managed by MHI Hotels Services.

On August 8, 2007, through our joint venture with Carlyle, we completed the acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, a newly renovated 311-room hotel in Hollywood, Florida for $74.0 million, with Carlyle retaining a 75.0% equity position. A portion of the purchase was financed with a two-year $57,600,000 non-recourse loan from Société Générale. The loan has three one-year extensions and is interest-only bearing a rate of LIBOR plus 1.94%. The hotel will be managed by MHI Hotels Services. We also will receive an asset management fee of 1.5% of gross revenues of the hotel in addition to our share of the operating profits and proceeds of sale pursuant to the joint venture agreement.

On October 29, 2007, we purchased a 250-room hotel in Tampa, Florida, formerly known as the Tampa Clarion Hotel for the aggregate purchase price of $13.5 million. We intend to make extensive renovations and re-brand the hotel as a Crowne Plaza, as is consistent with our repositioning strategy. Renovation costs are estimated at $25.0 million. The cost to acquire and renovate the hotel will be funded by additional borrowings on the credit facility.

On April 24, 2008, we completed the purchase of the 172-room Hampton Marina Hotel in Hampton, Virginia for the aggregate purchase price of $7.85 million. To facilitate the purchase, we assumed $5.75 million of existing indebtedness, which bears a rate of 6.50% and matures on July 1, 2016. The loan requires payments of interest as well as escrow deposits for real estate taxes and insurance on a monthly basis. Annual payments of principal are required under a sinking fund schedule beginning July 1, 2008. The remainder of the purchase price as well as closing costs was funded with borrowings on our credit facility. We intend to make significant renovations and re-brand the hotel as is consistent with our repositioning strategy. Renovation costs are estimated at $5.75 million. The cost to renovate the hotel will be initially funded by additional borrowings on the credit facility and subsequently refinancing the existing mortgage on the property.

Key Operating Metrics

In the hotel industry, most categories of operating costs, with the exception of franchise, management, credit card fees and the costs of the food and beverage served, do not vary directly with revenues. This aspect of our operating costs creates operating leverage, whereby changes in sales volume disproportionately impact operating results. Room revenue is the most important category of revenue and drives other revenue categories such as food, beverage and telephone. There are three key performance indicators used in the hotel industry to measure room revenues:

•

Occupancy, or the number of rooms sold, usually expressed as a percentage of total rooms available;

•

Average daily rate or ADR, which is total room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold; and

•

Revenue per available room or RevPAR, which is the room revenue, divided by the total number of available rooms.

Results of Operations

The following table illustrates the key operating metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 for the properties we owned during the respective reporting periods and reflected in net income from continuing operations.


	*Three months* ended March 31, 2008			*Three months* ended March 31, 2007
Occupancy %		65.1	%		70.9	%
ADR	$	118.21		$	114.77
RevPAR	$	76.90		$	81.35

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $15.5 million, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million or 8.3% from the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The six properties whose operating results are reflected in net operating income experienced a 4.5% decrease in room revenue despite a 3.0% increase in ADR, which was offset by an 8.2% decrease in occupancy. Most of the decrease in room revenue is attributable to renovations in progress at our Wilmington, North Carolina and Savannah, Georgia properties which impacted occupancy during the quarter. We expect improvements in room revenue at these properties once renovations are completed. We anticipate that renovations in Wilmington will be completed in the second quarter 2008 and that renovations in Savannah will be complete in the first quarter 2009.

The largest decrease in revenue was from food and beverage revenues, which, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 declined to approximately $3.8 million, a decrease of approximately $0.9 million or 19.9% compared to food and beverage revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007. While room sales from group business has remained strong at properties not undergoing renovation, there has been less demand for banqueting services resulting in a decrease in food and beverage revenue.

Revenue from other operating departments for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased approximately $0.1 million or 6.1% to approximately $1.0 million compared to other operating revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, and management fees, were approximately $12.6 million, an decrease of approximately $0.2 million or 2.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to approximately $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased to approximately $3.1 million, an increase of approximately $0.1 million or 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Additional charges for laundry services at our Philadelphia property caused by the breakdown of laundry equipment in mid-January have contributed to the increase in rooms expense. New equipment was installed in late April suspending such additional charges.

Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased approximately $0.3 million to approximately $3.0 million compared to food and beverage expenses of approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. A significant decrease in sales of food and beverage through lower orders of banqueting services at our hotels was partially offset by higher food costs. Indirect expenses at our properties for the three months ended March 31, 2008 remained at approximately the same level of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007, or approximately $6.3 million.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased approximately $0.2 million or 13.6% to approximately $1.4 million compared to depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. With the opening of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside on May 1, 2008 and the purchase of the Hampton Marina Hotel in April 2008, depreciation and amortization expense is expected to increase significantly.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased approximately $0.1 million or 9.4% to approximately $1.0 million compared to corporate general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaling approximately $0.9 million. Additional costs associated with preparation of management’s report on internal controls contributed to the increase.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased approximately $0.1 million or 11.0% to approximately $1.1 million compared to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to increased borrowings on the credit facility. As a result of opening the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the increased borrowings associated with the purchase of the Hampton Marina Hotel, we expect to see increases in interest expense.

Equity in Joint Venture. Equity in joint venture for the three months ended March 31, 2008 represents our share of the net income of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the hotel reported occupancy of 65.1%, ADR of $199.36 and RevPAR of $129.71.

Income Taxes. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased to approximately $0.5 million. The income tax benefit is primarily derived from the operations of our TRS lessee. The net operating loss of our TRS lessee for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was greater than the net operating loss attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Net Income. The net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased approximately $1.1 million to a loss of approximately $0.5 million from net income of approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the operating results discussed above.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any minority interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income.

Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has improved the understanding of the operating results of REITs among the investing public and made comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

The following table reconciles net income to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited):

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities. Our principal source of cash to meet our operating requirements, including distributions to unitholders and stockholders as well as repayments of indebtedness, is the operations of our hotels. Cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $0.3 million. We currently expect that the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund our continuing operations, debt service and the payment of dividends in accordance with federal income tax laws which require us to make annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. We paid dividends of $0.17 per share (unit) on April 11, 2008, which we funded out of working capital.

Investing Activities. Approximately $10.5 million was spent during the three months ended March 31, 2008 on renovations and capital improvements. Approximately $7.5 million was spent on renovations at the Wilmington Hilton Riverside and the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in order to bring those projects close to completion. We expect that renovations at the both properties will be complete in the second quarter 2008. Renovations at the Savannah Hilton DeSoto and the property in Tampa, Florida continued during the period.

Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we borrowed $11.5 million on the credit facility and $0.5 million on the mortgage on the Savannah Hilton DeSoto in order to fund renovations at the Wilmington Hilton Riverside, the Hilton Savannah DeSoto, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the property in Tampa, Florida as well as provide working capital.

Capital Expenditures

Recurring capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as debt service, are our most significant short-term liquidity requirements. During the next 12 months, we expect capital expenditures will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors. With respect to three of our hotels, the reserve accounts are escrowed accounts with funds deposited monthly and reserved for capital improvements or expenditures. We deposit an amount equal to 4% of gross revenue for both the Hilton Savannah DeSoto and Hilton Wilmington Riverside and 4% of room revenues for the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville. Our intent for the capital expenditures at all hotels is to maintain overall capital expenditures at 4% of gross revenue.

On September 20, 2006, we purchased the Louisville Ramada Riverfront Inn in Jeffersonville, Indiana with the intention of renovating and re-branding the hotel. On February 23, 2007, we obtained a 15-year franchise license agreement with Starwood Hotels and Resorts to brand the property as a Sheraton hotel. Renovation costs are estimated at approximately $15.9 million and the property re-opened May 1, 2008. Approximately $13.4 million had been expended as of March 31, 2008. All costs have been and will be funded by additional borrowings on our credit facility.

In February 2007, the franchise license for the Hilton Wilmington Riverside was renewed and extended to March 2018. To comply with the re-licensing agreement, we must complete a property improvement plan (“PIP”). We estimate the cost of the required renovations to total approximately $11.2 million and be completed in the second quarter 2008. Approximately $10.2 million had been expended as of March 31, 2008. The remaining costs will be funded by additional borrowings on our credit facility.

In July 2007, the franchise license for the Hilton Savannah DeSoto Hotel was renewed and extended to July 2018. To comply with the re-licensing agreement, we must complete a PIP, which we expect to be completed in February 2009 and total approximately $11.0 million. Approximately $3.4 million had been expended as of March 31, 2008. The renovations will be funded by additional draws of $8.5 million on the mortgage that was refinanced in August 2007.

On October 29, 2007, we purchased the property formerly known as the Tampa Clarion Hotel in Tampa, Florida with the intention of renovating and re-branding the hotel. On October 31, 2007, we obtained a 10-year franchise agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group to brand the property as a Crowne Plaza hotel. Renovation costs are estimated at approximately $20.0 million, of which approximately $1.6 million had been expended as of March 31, 2008. The renovations will be funded by additional borrowings on our credit facility.

On April 24, 2008, we purchased the Hampton Marina Hotel in Hampton, Virginia for the aggregate purchase price of $7.85 million. On February 27, 2008, we obtained a 10-year franchise agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group to brand the property as the Crowne Plaza Hampton Harborside. In conjunction with the license agreement, we expect that we will be required to complete a PIP. However, the scope of the required renovations has not been determined. We estimate the cost of renovation to range between $3.0 million and $6.0 million and anticipate that the costs will be expended between the third quarter 2008 and the first quarter 2009. The purchase was facilitated by the assumption of an existing indebtedness of $5.75 million with the remainder funded by borrowings on our credit facility. We anticipate that the required renovations will be funded through a refinance of the existing mortgage and by additional borrowings on our credit facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.2 million, of which approximately $1.8 million was in restricted reserve accounts and approximately $0.3 million was in real estate tax escrows. As of March 31, 2008, our revolving credit facility, which was amended on April 15, 2008 so that we may borrow up to $80.0 million, had an outstanding balance of approximately $45.9 million We expect that our cash flow from our hotels should be adequate to fund continuing operations, recurring capital expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment as well as debt service.

We estimate that to complete the capital projects to which we are committed, we will require capital ranging from approximately $46.0 to $50.0 million including the assumption of $5.75 million in mortgage debt in connection with our acquisition of the Hampton Marina Hotel. Most of the capital will be required before the end of the year with no more than $8.0 million required in the first quarter 2009. We expect that $8.5 million will be obtained through additional draws on the mortgage on the Hilton Savannah DeSoto. We believe that the additional borrowing capacity on our credit facility provides us sufficient capital to accommodate our needs for committed capital projects as well as working capital.

Our ability to fund future acquisitions relies on our ability to raise additional capital. Sources of additional capital may include a combination of some or any of the following:

•

The issuance by the Company, the operating partnership of the Company, and/or their subsidiary entities of secured and unsecured debt securities;

•

the incurrence by the subsidiaries of the operating partnership of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of hotel properties;

•

the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock;

•

the issuance of additional units in the operating partnership;

•

the selective disposition of non-core assets; and

•

the sale or contribution of some of our wholly owned properties, development projects and development land to strategic joint ventures to be formed with unrelated investors, which would have the net effect of generating additional capital through such sale or contributions.

Without additional capital, we would have to forego future acquisitions.

Beyond the funding of future acquisitions and development activity, our medium and long-term liquidity needs will generally include the retirement of mortgage debt and amounts outstanding under our secured line of credit, and obligations under our tax indemnity agreements, if any. We remain committed to maintaining a flexible capital structure. Accordingly, in addition to the sources described above with respect to our short-term liquidity, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through a combination of some or all of the following:

•

The issuance by the Company, the operating partnership of the Company, and/or their subsidiary entities of secured and unsecured debt securities;

•

the incurrence by the subsidiaries of the operating partnership of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of hotel properties;

•

the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock;

•

the issuance of additional units in the operating partnership;

•

the selective disposition of non-core assets; and

•

We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet our capital and liquidity needs in both the short and long term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, our ability to satisfy cash payment obligations and make stockholder distributions may be adversely affected.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Through a joint venture with Carlyle, we own a 25.0% indirect non-controlling interest in an entity (the “JV Owner”) that acquired the 311-room Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. We have the right to receive a pro rata share of operating surpluses as well as an obligation to fund our pro rata share of operating shortfalls. We also have the opportunity to earn an incentive participation in the net proceeds realized from the sale of the hotel based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition to our pro rata share of net sale proceeds. The Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort is leased to another entity (the “Joint Venture Lessee”) in which we also own a 25.0% indirect non-controlling equity interest. Carlyle owns a 75.0% controlling interest in both the Joint Venture and the Joint Venture Lessee. Carlyle may elect to dispose of the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort without our consent. We account for our non-controlling 25.0% interest in both the JV Owner and the Joint Venture Lessee under the equity method of accounting.

The acquisition of the Crowne Plaza was funded in part by a mortgage loan in the amount of $57.6 million. The mortgage has a two-year term maturing on August 1, 2009 and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus additional interest of 1.94%. The loan can be extended for three one-year periods. The JV Owner executed an interest rate cap agreement capping LIBOR at 6.25%, effectively limiting the rate on the mortgage to 8.19%. Monthly interest-only payments are due throughout the term. The Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort secures the mortgage. We have provided the lender limited guarantees with respect to this mortgage.

Inflation

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our TRS Lessee and net income from the operations of our TRS Lessee. Therefore, we rely primarily on the performance of the individual properties and the ability of our management company to increase revenues and to keep pace with inflation. Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to keep pace with inflation. However, competitive pressures at some or all of our hotels may limit the ability of our management company to raise room rates.

Our expenses, including hotel operating expenses, administrative expenses, real estate taxes and property and casualty insurance are subject to inflation. These expenses are expected to grow with the general rate of inflation, except for energy, liability insurance, property and casualty insurance, property tax rates, employee benefits, and some wages, which are expected to increase at rates higher than inflation.

Seasonality

The operations of the properties have historically been seasonal. The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of the Crowne Plaza Jacksonville Hotel. The months of March and April are traditionally strong, as is October. The remaining months are generally good, but are subject to the weather and can vary significantly.

Geographic Concentration

Our hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Critical Accounting Policies

The critical accounting policies are described below. We consider these policies critical because they involve difficult management judgments and assumptions, are subject to material change from external factors or are pervasive, and are significant to fully understand and evaluate our reported financial results.

Investment in Hotel Properties. Hotel properties are stated at cost, net of any impairment charges, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 7-39 years for buildings and 3-10 years for furniture and equipment. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the majority interests in hotels comprising our accounting predecessor, MHI Hotels Services Group, and minority interests held by the controlling holders of our accounting predecessor in hotels acquired from third parties are recorded at historical cost basis. Minority interests in those entities that comprise our accounting predecessor and the interests in hotels, other than those held by the controlling members of our accounting predecessor, acquired from third parties are recorded at fair value at time of acquisition.

We review our hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause us to perform our review include, but are not limited to adverse changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where our hotels are located. When such conditions exist,

management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized.

There were no charges for impairment recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.

We estimate the fair market values of our properties through cash flow analysis taking into account each property’s expected cash flow generated from operations, holding period and expected proceeds from ultimate disposition. These cash flow analyses are based upon significant management judgments and assumptions including revenues and operating costs, growth rates and economic conditions at the time of ultimate disposition. In projecting the expected cash flows from operations of the asset, we base our estimates on future projected net operating income before depreciation and eliminating non-recurring operating expenses, which is a non-GAAP operational measure, and deduct expected capital expenditure requirements. We then apply growth assumptions based on estimated changes in room rates and expenses and the demand for lodging at our properties, as impacted by local and national economic conditions and estimated or known future new hotel supply. The estimated proceeds from disposition are determined as a matter of management’s business judgment based on a combination of anticipated cash flow in the year of disposition, terminal capitalization rate, ratio of selling price to gross hotel revenues and selling price per room.

If actual conditions differ from those in our assumptions, the actual results of each asset’s operations and fair market value could be significantly different from the estimated results and value used in our analysis.

Revenue Recognition. Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage and other hotel revenues, are recognized as the related services are delivered. We generally consider accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If we determine that amounts are uncollectible, which would generally be the result of a customer’s bankruptcy or other economic downturn, such amounts will be charged against operations when that determination is made.

Income Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Because of expected future taxable income of our TRS Lessee, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2008. Should our estimate of future taxable income be less than expected, we would record an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset in the period such determination was made.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of SFAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years but was amended on February 6, 2008 to defer the effective date for one year for certain non-financial assets and liabilities. We adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, which had no material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. We adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008, which had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination, recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, and determining what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for acquisitions consummated in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate after the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. We are currently evaluating what impact SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”(“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires expanded disclosures regarding the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, operating results and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating what impact SFAS 161 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements

Information included and incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identified by our use of words, such as “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “opportunity,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements. Factors, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects, include, but are not limited to:

•

United States economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically;

•

management and performance of our hotels;

•

our plans for renovation of our hotels;

•

our financing plans;

•

supply and demand for hotel rooms in our current and proposed market areas;

•

our ability to acquire additional properties and the risk that potential acquisitions may not perform in accordance with expectations;

•

legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing taxation of real estate investment trusts; and

•

our competition.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements are set forth under the Section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statement contained in this report or incorporated by reference herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. We undertake no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this report.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The effects of potential changes in interest rates prices are discussed below. Our market risk discussion includes “forward-looking statements” and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. These disclosures are not precise indicators of expected future losses, but only indicators of reasonably possible losses. As a result, actual future results may differ materially from those presented. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.

To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we will borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. Our credit facility required us to hedge at least one-half of the maximum borrowing amount with an interest-rate swap, which we purchased on August 8, 2006 on a notional amount of $30.0 million. As of March 31, 2008, derivatives with a fair value of approximately $(2.0) million were included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. From time to time we may enter into other interest rate hedge contracts such as collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2008, we had $55.5 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $45.9 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 6.75%. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt, but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the change in 30-day LIBOR, but would be limited to the effect on the gap between the balance on the credit facility and the $30.0 million notional amount of the interest-rate swap purchased on August 8, 2006. Assuming that the amount outstanding under our credit facility remains at approximately $45.9 million, the balance at March 31, 2008, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in 30-day LIBOR would be approximately $159,000.

As of December 31, 2007, we had $55.0 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $34.4 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 6.76%. At that date, our variable-rate debt was exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the change in 30-day LIBOR, but was limited to the effect on the gap between the balance on the credit facility and the $30.0 million notional amount of the interest-rate swap. Had the amount outstanding under the credit facility remained at approximately $34.4 million, the balance at December 31, 2007, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent change in 30-day LIBOR would have been approximately $44,000.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of MHI Hospitality Corporation have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, MHI Hospitality Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

As of March 31, 2008, there was no change in MHI Hospitality Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during MHI Hospitality Corporation’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, MHI Hospitality Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
