Income
allocated to minority interest in the Partnership has been excluded
from
the numerator and Partnership units have been omitted from the denominator
for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the
effect
of including these amounts in the numerator and denominator would
have no
impact. Weighted average Partnership units outstanding for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 4,899,856 and 3,492,177,
respectively. Weighted average Partnership units outstanding

stock
awards have been omitted from the denominator for the purpose of
computing
diluted earnings per share since the effect of including this amount
in
the denominator would be anti-dilutive to loss from continuing operations
applicable to common shareholders.

TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
THREE
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006 [UNAUDITED]
[IN
THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS]
NOTE
1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hersha Hospitality
Trust (“we” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and
with the general instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required
by
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2007.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS
No. 157
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS
No. 157 establishes a new definition of fair value, provides guidance on
how to measure fair value and establishes new disclosure requirements of assets
and liabilities at their fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not
determined whether the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS
No. 159
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”).
SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value and requires certain disclosures for amounts
for which the fair value option is applied. This standard is
effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a
fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity
also elects to apply the provisions of Statement 157. The Company has not
determined whether the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.

In
connection with the 2007 acquisitions we acquired $781 in working
capital. In addition to cash and assumed debt, consideration included
$2,100 in deposits made in 2006. Included in the purchase price of Residence
Inn, Langhorne, PA is $226 that was reimbursed to entities that are owned in
part by certain executives and trustees of the Company.
Interest
rates on debt assumed in the acquisition of the Residence Inn, Carlisle, PA
and
the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Chester, NY were at market
rates. We assumed $19,250 in debt with the acquisition of the Hampton
Inn-Seaport, New York, NY bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.36% which was
determined to be above market rates. We recorded a premium of $952
related to the assumption of this debt. In the acquisition of Hotel 373 – 5th Avenue,
New York,
NY, we assumed $22,000 in variable rate debt bearing interest at LIBOR plus
2.00% and an interest rate cap which effectively caps interest on this debt
at
7.75%. The debt matures and the interest rate cap terminates on April
9, 2009. The interest rate cap had a fair value of $15 on the date of
acquisition.
The
Residence Inn, Carlisle, PA and the Hampton Inn-Seaport, New York, NY were
acquired from entities that are owned by certain of the Company’s executives and
trustees. Included in the consideration for the Residence Inn,
Carlisle, PA were 119,818 units in our operating partnership valued at $11.10
per unit that were issued to sellers that are not affiliated with the
Company. Consideration for the Hampton Inn-Seaport, New York, NY,
included 15,016 units of our operating partnership valued at $11.20 per unit
and
an $8,208 note payable. The operating partnership units were issued
to certain executives and affiliated trustees of the Company and the note
payable was with entities that are owned in part by certain executives and
affiliated trustees of the Company. On May 24, 2007 the note payable
was fully repaid. Interest expense of $106 and $212 was incurred on
the notes payable during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively. Included in the consideration for the Hotel 373 –
5th Avenue,
New
York, NY were 1,000,000 units in our operating partnership valued at $12.32
per
unit that were issued to a seller that is not affiliated with the
Company.

NOTE
2 — INVESTMENT IN HOTEL PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)
The
purchase agreement entered into for the 2006 acquisition of the Courtyard,
Langhorne, PA; the Fairfield Inn, Bethlehem, PA; and the Fairfield Inn, Mt.
Laurel, NJ contained certain provisions that entitle the seller to an earn-out
of up to $2,500 based on the collective Net Operating Income thresholds of
the
three properties, as defined. The earn-out period expires on
September 30, 2007. Based on current projections, no earn-out is
expected to be paid by the Company to the seller. On December 28,
2006, we closed on the acquisition of seven Summerfield Suites. The
purchase agreement for this acquisition contained certain provisions that
entitle the seller to an earn-out of up to $6,000 based on the Net Operating
Income of the properties, as defined. The earn-out period expires on
December 31, 2009. On January 8, 2007, we closed on the acquisition
of the Residence Inn, Langhorne, PA. The purchase agreement for this
acquisition contained certain provisions that entitle the seller to an earn-out
of up to $1,000 based on the Net Operating Income of the property, as
defined. The earn-out period expires on August 31,
2008. We are currently unable to determine whether amounts will be
paid under these two earn-out provisions since significant time remains until
the expiration of the earn-out periods. Due to uncertainty of the
amounts that will ultimately be paid, if any, no accrual has been recorded
on
the consolidated balance sheet for amounts due under these earn-out
provisions. In the event amounts are payable under these provisions,
payments made will be recorded as additional consideration given for the
properties.
All
of
the newly acquired wholly owned hotels are leased to our wholly owned taxable
REIT subsidiary (TRS), 44 New England Management Company and all are managed
by
Hersha Hospitality Management, LP (“HHMLP”). HHMLP is owned by three
of the Company’s executives, two of its affiliated trustees and other investors
that are not affiliated with the Company.
The
following condensed pro forma financial information is presented as if 5
properties acquired in 2007 and 16 properties acquired in 2006 had been
consummated as of January 1, 2006. Properties acquired without any operating
history are excluded from the condensed pro forma operating results. The
condensed pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what actual
results of operations of the Company would have been assuming the acquisitions
had been consummated at the beginning of the years presented, nor does it
purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

* Percent
owned was 40.0% through March 31, 2007. On April 1, 2007 our percent
owned increased to 48.0%
Any
difference between the carrying amount of these investments and the underlying
equity in net assets is amortized over the expected useful lives of the
properties and other intangible assets.
On
April
1, 2007, we increased our investment in PRA Glastonbury, LLC, the owner of
the
Hilton Garden Inn, Glastonbury, CT, and PRA Suites at Glastonbury, LLC, the
owner of the Homewood Suites, Glastonbury, CT by acquiring an additional 8%
preferred interest from our partner in each venture. The purchase
prices for our additional equity interests were $780 and $716 for PRA
Glastonbury, LLC and PRA Suites at Glastonbury, LLC, respectively.
On
February 1, 2007 we acquired a 50.0% interest in Metro 29th Street
Associates,
LLC (“Metro 29th”), the lessee of the 228 room Holiday Inn Express-Manhattan,
New York, NY, for approximately $6,817. Metro 29th holds a
twenty
five year lease with certain renewal options at the end of the lease
term. We also acquired an option to acquire a 50% interest in the
entity that owns the Holiday Inn Express-Manhattan. The option is
exercisable after February 1, 2012 or upon termination of Metro 29th Street’s lease
of
the hotel and expires at the end of the lease term. The fair value of
the option was $933 at the time of acquisition and is recorded in other assets
on our consolidated balance sheet. We issued 694,766 units in our
operating partnership valued at $11.15 per unit for our interest in Metro
29th and the
option. Metro 29th Street
entered
into an agreement with Metro 29th Sublessee,
LLC, a
joint venture owned by 44 New England and our joint venture partner, to sublease
the hotel property. The hotel is managed by HHMLP.
The
following tables set forth the total assets, liabilities, equity and components
of net income, including the Company’s share, related to the unconsolidated
joint ventures discussed above as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and
for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

2007.
We
have
two junior subordinated notes payable in the aggregate amount of $51,548 to
the
Hersha Statutory Trusts pursuant to indenture agreements. The $25,774 note

Revolving
Line of Credit
We
have a
revolving credit loan and security agreement with Commerce Bank, N.A. with
a
maximum amount of $100,000 and interest rate terms of either the bank’s prime
rate of interest minus 0.75% or LIBOR available for the periods of 1, 2, 3,
or 6
months plus 2.00%, at our discretion. This revolving credit loan
replaced both the secured and unsecured lines of credit that we previously
maintained.
The
Company maintained a line of credit balance of $48,800 at June 30, 2007 and
$24,000 at December 31, 2006. The Company recorded interest expense of $1,046

and
$163 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Debt
Extinguishment
As
noted
above, the Sovereign Bank Line of Credit was replaced by the Commerce Line
of
Credit in January 2006. As a result of this termination, we expensed $255 in
unamortized deferred costs related to the origination of the Sovereign Bank
Line
of Credit, which are included in the Debt Extinguishment caption on the face

7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
We
are
the sole general partner in our operating partnership, Hersha Hospitality
Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) , which is indirectly the sole general
partner of the subsidiary partnerships. The Company does not anticipate any
losses as a result of our obligations as general partner in the
Partnership.
Management
Agreements
Our
wholly owned TRS, 44 New England, engages eligible independent contractors,
including HHMLP, as the property managers for hotels it leases from us pursuant
to management agreements. Our management agreements with HHMLP provide for
five-year terms and are subject to early termination upon the occurrence of
defaults and certain other events described therein. As required under the
REIT
qualification rules, HHMLP must qualify as an “eligible independent contractor”
during the term of the management agreements. Under the management agreements,
HHMLP generally pays the operating expenses of our hotels. All operating
expenses or other expenses incurred by HHMLP in performing its authorized duties
are reimbursed or borne by our TRS to the extent the operating expenses or
other
expenses are incurred within the limits of the applicable approved hotel
operating budget. HHMLP is not obligated to advance any of its own funds for
operating expenses of a hotel or to incur any liability in connection with
operating a hotel. Management agreements with other unaffiliated
hotel management companies have similar terms.
As
of
June 30, 2007, HHMLP managed forty five of the properties leased to our
TRS. HHMLP also managed two consolidated joint venture hotel
properties and four unconsolidated joint venture hotel properties in which
we
maintain an investment. For its services, HHMLP receives a base management
fee,
and if a hotel exceeds certain thresholds, an incentive management fee. The
base management fee for a hotel is due monthly and is equal to 3% of gross
revenues associated with each hotel managed for the related month. The incentive
management fee, if any, for a hotel is due annually in arrears on the ninetieth
day following the end of each fiscal year and is based upon the financial
performance of the hotel. There were no incentive management fees for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. For the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, management fees incurred totaled $1,489 and $1,170,
respectively, and $2,528 and $1,965 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and
2006, respectively and are recorded as Hotel Operating Expenses. In
addition, the Company incurred $30 related to the sale of one hotel in the
second quarter of 2006. These fees are included in discontinued
operations.
Accounting
and Information Technology Fees
Each
of
the wholly owned hotels and consolidated joint venture hotel properties managed
by HHMLP incurs a monthly accounting and information technology fee.
Monthly fees for accounting services are $2 per property and monthly information
technology fees are $0.5 per property. In addition, each of the wholly owned
hotels not managed by HHMLP, but for which the accounting is provided by HHMLP
incurs a monthly accounting fee of $3. For the three months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred accounting fees of $337
and
$260, respectively, and incurred information technology fees of $68 and $63,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
the Company incurred accounting fees of $668 and $487, respectively, and
incurred information technology fees of $134 and $120,
respectively. Accounting and information technology fees are included
in General and Administrative expenses.
Franchise
Agreements
The
hotel
properties are operated under franchise agreements assumed by the hotel property
lessee. The franchise agreements have 10 to 20 year terms but may be terminated
by either the franchisee or franchisor on certain anniversary dates specified
in
the agreements. The franchise agreements require annual payments for franchise
royalties, reservation, and advertising services, and such payments are based
upon percentages of gross room revenue. These payments are paid by the hotels
and charged to expense as incurred. Franchise fee expense for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $3,961 and $2,580 respectively and $7,235
and
$4,340 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The initial fees incurred to enter into the franchise
agreements are amortized over the life of the franchise agreements.

Acquisitions
from Affiliates
We
have
entered into an option agreement with each of our officers and affiliated
trustees such that we obtain a first right of refusal to purchase any hotel
owned or developed in the future by these individuals or entities controlled
by
them at fair market value. This right of first refusal would apply to each
party
until one year after such party ceases to be an officer or trustee of our
Company. Since our initial public offering in 1999, we have acquired, wholly
or
through joint ventures, a total of 77 hotels, including 22 hotels acquired
from
entities controlled by our officers or affiliated trustees. Of the 22
acquisitions from these entities, 18 were newly-constructed or newly-renovated
by these entities prior to our acquisition. Our Acquisition Committee of the
Board of Trustees is comprised solely of independent trustees, and the purchase
prices and all material terms of the purchase of hotels from related parties
are
approved by the Acquisition Committee.
Hotel
Supplies
For
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we incurred expenses of $1,099 and
$434, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we
incurred expenses of $1,445 and $685, respectively, for hotel supplies from
Hersha Hotel Supply, an unconsolidated related party, which are expenses
included in Hotel Operating Expenses. Approximately $213 and $66 is included
in
accounts payable at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively.
Capital
Expenditure Fees
Beginning
April 1, 2006, HHMLP began to charge a 5% fee on all capitalized expenditures
and pending renovation projects at the properties as compensation for
procurement services related to capital expenditures and for project management
of renovation projects. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006 we incurred fees of $124 and $57, respectively and for the six months
ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 we incurred fees of $163 and $57, respectively, which
were capitalized in with the cost of fixed asset additions.
Due
From Related Parties
The
Due
from Related Party balance as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was
approximately $2,237 and $4,059 respectively. The majority of the balance as
of
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were receivables owed from our
unconsolidated joint ventures.
Due
to
Related Parties
The
Due
to Related Parties balance as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was
approximately $3,555 and $3,297, respectively. The balances as of June 30,
2007
and December 31, 2006 consisted of amounts payable to HHMLP for administrative,
management, and benefit related fees.
Hotel
Ground Rent
During
2003, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn, Edison,
NJ,
we assumed a land lease from a third party with an original term of 75 years.
Monthly payments as determined by the lease agreement are due through the
expiration in August 2074. On February 16, 2006, in conjunction with the
acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn, JFK Airport, we assumed a land lease
with an original term of 99 years. Monthly payments are determined by
the lease agreement and are due through the expiration in July
2100. Both land leases provide rent increases at scheduled intervals.
We record rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease
from
the beginning of the lease term. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, we incurred $190 and $216, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and
2006 we incurred $439 and $378, respectively, in hotel ground rent expense
under
the agreement.

NOTE
8 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We
maintain an interest rate swap that fixes our interest rate on a variable rate
mortgage. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, we pay fixed
rate interest of 4.73% of the notional amount and we receive floating rate
equal
to the one month U.S. dollar LIBOR. The notional amount amortizes in
tandem with the amortization of the underlying hedged debt and is $7,865 as
of
June 30, 2007.
On
June
1, 2007, through the acquisition of Hotel 373, New York, NY, the Company assumed
a mortgage containing an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $22,000
to
hedge against the variability in cash flows on a variable interest rate debt
instrument. The principal of the variable interest rate debt being hedged equals
the notional amount of the interest rate cap. The interest rate cap effectively
fixes interest payments when LIBOR exceeds 5.75%. The interest rate cap
terminates on April 9, 2009, the maturity date of the hedged debt
instrument.
At
June
30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair value of the interest rate swap was
$72
and $47, respectively, and is included in other assets on the face of the
consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2007, the fair value
of the interest rate cap was $19 and is included in other assets on the face
of
the consolidated balance sheets. The change in net unrealized
gains/losses was a gain of $32 and gain of $92 for the three months ended June
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and a loss of $14 and gain of $210 for the
six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for derivatives designated
as
cash flow hedges which were reflected on our Balance Sheet in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income. Hedge ineffectiveness of $5 and $3 on cash flow hedges
was
recognized in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively and $9 and $7 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively.

Income
allocated to minority interest in the Partnership has been excluded
from
the numerator and Partnership units have been omitted from the denominator
for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the
effect
of including these amounts in the numerator and denominator would
have no
impact. Weighted average Partnership units outstanding for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 4,899,856 and 3,492,177,

12 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In
September of 2005, our Board of Trustees authorized management of the Company
to
sell the Holiday Inn Express, Hartford, CT. The Company had acquired
the hotel in January 2004 and sold the hotel on April 12, 2006. Proceeds from
the sale were $3,600, and the gain on the sale was $497, of which $63 was
allocated to minority interest in HHLP. The operating results for
this hotel have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements
of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
In
March
of 2006, our Board of Trustees authorized management of the Company to sell
the
following four properties located in metropolitan Atlanta,
Georgia: Holiday Inn Express, Duluth, Comfort Suites, Duluth, Hampton
Inn, Newnan and the Hampton Inn, Peachtree City. These assets were
classified as “held for sale” as of June 30, 2006. The operating results for
these hotels were classified as discontinued operations in the statements of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006. These hotels were acquired
by the Company in April and May 2000 and were sold during November and December
2006. Proceeds from the sales were $18,100, and the gain on the sale
was $290, of which $33 was allocated to minority interest in
HHLP. Notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $1,350 were
received as part of the proceeds of the sale of the Atlanta
Portfolio. Interest payments are due quarterly with repayment of the
principal due upon maturity on December 31, 2007 or January 1,
2008.

NOTE
13 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
July
1, 2007, we acquired the Holiday Inn, Norwich, CT from an entity owned in part
by certain officers and affiliated directors of the Company for approximately
$16,100, which included the assumption of approximately $8,200 in existing
debt
and the issuance of 659,312 units in our operating partnership valued at $12.01
per unit. The existing debt includes both a first mortgage of $5,200
and a second mortgage of $3,000. The first mortgage is secured by a
first lien on the property, matures on July 31, 2025 and bears interest at
a
fixed rate of 6.75% per annum. The second mortgage is secured by a
second lien on the Holiday Inn, matures on September 26, 2027 and bears interest
at the prime rate plus 0.75% per annum.
On
July
11, 2007, we acquired a second parcel of land on Nevins Street, Brooklyn, NY
for
$7,535, adjacent to land we acquired on June 11, 2007. In connection
with the acquisition of the land, we entered into interest only mortgage debt
in
the amount of $6,500 bearing interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus
2.70%. The debt matures in July of 2009. The land was
immediately leased to H Nevins Associates, LLC, an entity owned in part by
certain officers and affiliated directors of the Company. The lease
bears the same terms as the lease for the first Nevins Street parcel acquired
on
June 11, 2007.
Item
2.Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
All
statements contained in this section that are not historical facts are based
on
current expectations. Words such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”,
“intends”, “plans” and “estimates” and variations of such words and similar
words also identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ
materially, including the following: economic conditions generally and the
real
estate market specifically; the effect of threats of terrorism and increased
security precautions on travel patterns and demand for hotels; the threatened
or
actual outbreak of hostilities and international political instability;
governmental actions; legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to
laws
governing the taxation of REITs; level of proceeds from asset sales; cash
available for capital expenditures; availability of capital; ability to
refinance debt; rising interest rates; rising insurance premiums; competition;
supply and demand for hotel rooms in our current and proposed market areas,
including the existing and continuing weakness in business travel and lower-than
expected daily room rates; other factors that may influence the travel industry,
including health, safety and economic factors; and changes in generally accepted
accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs. Additional
risks are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements as a result of new information, subsequent events
or
any other circumstances.
General
As
of
June 30, 2007, we owned interests in 72 hotels located primarily in the eastern
United States including 19 hotels owned through joint ventures. For purposes
of
the REIT qualification rules, we cannot directly operate any of our hotels.
Instead, we must lease our hotels. The REIT qualification rules allow a hotel
REIT to lease its hotels to a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, provided that
the
TRS engages an eligible independent contractor to manage the hotels. As of
June
30, 2007, we have leased all but one of our hotels to a wholly-owned TRS, a
joint venture owned TRS, or a corporate entity owned by our wholly-owned TRS.
The hotel not leased to a TRS entity is leased to an unrelated third party
lessee. Each of these TRS entities pay qualifying rent, and the TRS entities
have entered into management contracts with qualified independent managers,
including Hersha Hospitality Management, LP, or HHMLP, to operate our hotels.
The TRS directly receives all revenue from, and funds all expenses relating
to
hotel operations. The TRS is also subject to income tax on its earnings. We
intend to lease all newly acquired hotels to a TRS.
Operating
Results
The
following table outlines operating results for the Company’s portfolio of 53
wholly owned hotels and four hotels owned through joint venture interests that
are consolidated in our financial statements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Our
total
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of hotel
operating revenues, interest income from our development loan program, land
lease revenue, hotel lease revenue and other revenue. Hotel operating revenue
is
recorded for wholly owned hotels that are leased to our wholly owned TRS and
hotels owned through joint venture interests that are consolidated in our
financial statements. Hotel operating revenue increased $25,252, or 66.1%,
from
$38,226 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $63,478 for the same period
in 2007. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the
acquisitions consummated in 2006 and improved RevPAR at certain of our hotels.
We acquired interests in the following 16 consolidated hotels since June 30,

We
invest
in hotel development projects by providing secured first mortgage or mezzanine
financing to hotel developers and through the acquisition of land that is then
leased to hotel developers. Interest income is earned on our
development loans at rates of 10% to 11%. Interest income from
development loans receivable was $1,331 for the three months ended June 30,
2007
compared to $295 for the same period in 2006. The average balance of
development loans receivable outstanding during the three months ended June
30,
2006 was lower than the average balance outstanding during the same period
in
2007 resulting in a $1,036 increase in interest income. In June and
July of 2006 we acquired two parcels of land which are being leased to hotel
developers. On June 11, 2007 we acquired another parcel of land which is also
being leased to hotel developers. Our net investment in these parcels
is approximately $23,286. The land is leased to hotel developers at a minimum
rental rate of 10% of our net investment in the land. Additional rents are
paid
by the lessee for the principal and interest on the mortgage, real estate taxes
and insurance. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $1,117
in land lease revenue from these parcels. We incurred $619 in expense
related to these land leases resulting in a contribution of $498 to our
operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Total
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 also included hotel lease
revenue for the lease of the Holiday Inn Conference Center, New Cumberland,
Pennsylvania which has a fixed rent over the five year term. Beginning on July
1, 2006 this hotel was leased to an unrelated party. Prior to July 1, 2006,
this
hotel was leased to our wholly owned TRS and operating revenues and expenses
of
the hotel were recorded in hotel operating revenue and hotel operating
expenses. Hotel lease revenue of $195 was recorded in the three
months ended June 30, 2007 related to the lease of this property.
Other
revenue consists primarily of fees earned for asset management services provided
to certain properties owned by our unconsolidated joint
ventures.
Expenses
Total
hotel operating expenses increased 61.5% to approximately $34,544 for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 from $21,392 for the three months ended June 30,
2006. Consistent with the increase in hotel operating revenues, hotel operating
expenses increased primarily due to the acquisitions consummated since the
comparable period in 2006, as mentioned above. The acquisitions also resulted
in
an increase in depreciation and amortization from $4,609 for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 to $8,560 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Similarly, real estate and personal property tax and property insurance
increased $1,431, or 98.0%, in the three months ended June 30, 2007 when
compared to the same period in 2006.
General
and administrative expense decreased by approximately $191 from $1,812 for
the
six months ended June 30, 2006 to $1,621 during the same period in 2007. General
and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 included
discretionary bonus compensation of $486 relating to the year ended December
31,
2005 which was authorized by the compensation committee of our board of trustees
on May 25, 2006. General and administrative expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 does not include a charge for discretionary bonus
compensation because the discretionary bonus was authorized by the compensation
committee of our board of trustees earlier in the year and accrued during the
three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease in cost for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 has been
partially offset by an increase in compensation costs related to increasing
resources dedicated to our asset management, acquisition and finance
functions.
Unconsolidated
Joint Venture Investments
Income
from unconsolidated joint venture investments increased $972 from $769 for
the
three months ended June 30, 2006 to $1,741 for the three months ended June

Income
from unconsolidated joint venture investments during the three months ended
June
30, 2007 was favorably impacted by the continued stabilization of these
properties which were newly constructed when acquired. On September 28, 2006
we
acquired the remaining 66.7% interest in the joint venture that owned the
Hampton Inn-Chelsea, New York, NY. Prior to acquiring the remaining
interest in this hotel, we owned a 33.3% interest and income was recorded in
income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. After this
acquisition, results of operations of this hotel property were included in
our
consolidated hotel operating results.
Net
Income
Net
income applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30,
2007 was approximately $6,595 compared to net income applicable to common
shareholders of $2,176 for the same period in 2006.
Operating
income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $17,882 compared to
operating income of $9,219 during the same period in 2006. The $8,663 increase
in operating income resulted from improved performance of our portfolio and
acquisitions that have increased the scale of our operations enabling us to
leverage the absorption of administrative costs.
The
increase in our operating income was partially offset by increases in interest
expense, which increased $5,052 from $5,923 for the three months ended June
30,
2006 to $10,975 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in
interest expense is the result of mortgages placed on newly acquired properties
and increased average balances on our line of credit. Mortgages and notes
payable increased from $256,146 as of December 31, 2005 to $556,542 as of
December 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, we had $631,559 in mortgages
and notes payable. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we refinanced
$56,125 in variable rate debt, replacing it with $62,800 fixed rate debt. As
a
result of terminating the variable rate debt we incurred $908 in costs due
to
early termination fees and to write-off deferred loan costs associated with
the
retired debt.
Comparison
of the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
(dollars
in thousands, except per share data).
Revenues
Our
total
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of hotel
operating revenues, interest income from our development loan program, land
lease revenue, hotel lease revenue and other revenue. Hotel operating revenue
is
recorded for wholly owned hotels that are leased to our wholly owned TRS and
hotels owned through joint venture interests that are consolidated in our
financial statements. Hotel operating revenue increased $47,713, or 77.0%,
from
$62,155 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $109,868 for the same period
in 2007. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the
acquisitions consummated in 2006 and improved RevPAR at certain of our hotels.
As noted above, we acquired interests in 16 consolidated hotels since June
30,
2006. Revenues for all 16 hotels were recorded from the date of
acquisition as hotel operating revenues. Further, hotel operating revenues
for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 included revenues for a full year related
to

development loans receivable outstanding during the six months ended June 30,
2006 was lower then the average balance outstanding during the same period
in
2007 resulting in a $1,911 increase in interest income. In June and
July of 2006 we acquired two parcels of land which are being leased to hotel
developers. On June 11, 2007 we acquired another parcel of land which is also
being leased to hotel developers. Our net investment in these parcels
is approximately $23,286. The land is leased to hotel developers at a minimum
rental rate of 10% of our net investment in the land. Additional rents are
paid
by the lessee for the principal and interest on the mortgage, real estate taxes
and insurance. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $2,205
in
land lease revenue from these parcels. We incurred $1,233 in expense
related to these land leases resulting in a contribution of $972 to our
operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Total
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 also included hotel lease
revenue for the lease of the Holiday Inn Conference Center, New Cumberland,
Pennsylvania which has a fixed rent over the five year term. Beginning on July
1, 2006 this hotel was leased to an unrelated party. Prior to July 1, 2006,
this
hotel was leased to our wholly owned TRS and operating revenues and expenses
of
the hotel were recorded in hotel operating revenue and hotel operating
expenses. Hotel lease revenue of $332 was recorded in the six months
ended June 30, 2007 related to the lease of this property.
Other
revenue consists primarily of fees earned for asset management services provided
to certain properties owned by our unconsolidated joint
ventures.
Expenses
Total
hotel operating expenses increased 70.3% to approximately $63,613 for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 from $37,350 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Consistent with the increase in hotel operating revenues, hotel operating
expenses increased primarily due to the acquisitions consummated since the
comparable period in 2006, as mentioned above. The acquisitions also resulted
in
an increase in depreciation and amortization from $8,405 for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 to $16,801for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Similarly,
real estate and personal property tax and property insurance increased $2,840,
or 96.4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2007 when compared to the same period
in 2006.
General
and administrative expense increased by approximately $856 from $2,976 for
the
six months ended June 30, 2006 to $3,832 during the same period in 2007. General
and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher compensation
expense related to enhancing our asset management, acquisition and finance
functions. This increase in cost has been partially offset by the
reduction in costs related to enhancing our process to evaluate internal
controls that were incurred during the six months ended June 30,
2006.
Unconsolidated
Joint Venture Investments
Income
from unconsolidated joint venture investments increased $1,245 from a loss
of
$341 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to income of $904 for the six months
ended June 30, 2007. As noted above, we have acquired interests in
one unconsolidated joint venture since June 30, 2006 and we acquired joint
venture interests in one property during the six months ended June 30,
2006.
Income
from unconsolidated joint venture investments during the six months ended June
30, 2007 was favorably impacted by the continued stabilization of these
properties which were newly constructed when acquired. On September 28, 2006
we
acquired the remaining 66.7% interest in the joint venture that owned the
Hampton Inn-Chelsea, New York, NY. Prior to acquiring the remaining
interest in this hotel, we owned a 33.3% interest and income was recorded in
income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. After this
acquisition, results of operations of this hotel property were included in
our
consolidated hotel operating results.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
income applicable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30,
2007
was approximately $1,158 compared to net loss applicable to common shareholders
of $2,908 for the same period in 2006.
Operating
income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $23,661 compared to operating
income of $11,175 during the same period in 2006. The $12,486 increase in
operating income resulted from improved performance of our portfolio and
acquisitions that have increased the scale of our operations enabling us to
leverage the absorption of administrative costs.
The
increase in our operating income was partially offset by increases in interest
expense, which increased $9,744 from $11,541 for the six months ended June
30,
2006 to $21,285 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As noted above, the
increase in interest expense is the result of mortgages placed on newly acquired
properties and increased average balances on our line of credit. Also
in the six months ended June 30, 2006, we refinanced $56,125 in variable rate
debt, replacing it with $62,800 fixed rate debt, and replaced our line of credit
with an increased credit facility. As a result of terminating the variable
rate
debt and line of credit, we incurred $1,163 in debt extinguishment expense
due
to early termination fees and to write-off deferred loan costs associated with
the retired debt and credit facility.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
expect
to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash
provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term
borrowings under our line of credit. We believe that the net cash provided
by
operations will be adequate to fund the Company’s operating requirements, debt
service and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements of
the
federal income tax laws. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements,
such as scheduled debt maturities and property acquisitions, through long-term
secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of additional equity securities
or, in connection with acquisitions of hotel properties, the issuance of units
of operating partnership interest in our operating partnership
subsidiary.
We
maintain a revolving credit loan and security agreement with Commerce Bank,
N.A.
with a maximum amount of $100,000 and interest rate terms, at our discretion,
of
either the bank’s prime rate of interest minus 0.75% or LIBOR available for the
periods of 1, 2, 3, or 6 months plus 2.00%. The line of credit is collateralized
by a first lien-security interest in all existing and future assets of HHLP,
and
title-insured, first-lien mortgages on certain hotel properties and collateral
assignment of all hotel management contracts from which HHLP or its affiliates
derive revenue. The line of credit includes certain financial covenants and
requires that we maintain (1) a minimum tangible net worth of $110.0 million;
(2) a maximum accounts and other receivables from affiliates of $75.0 million;
and (3) certain financial ratios. The Company is in compliance with each of
these covenants as of June 30, 2007.
We
intend
to invest in additional hotels only as suitable opportunities arise and adequate
sources of financing are available. Our bylaws require the approval of a
majority of our Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent
trustees, to acquire any additional hotel in which one of our affiliated
trustees or officers, or any of their affiliates, has an interest (other than
solely as a result of his status as our trustee, officer or shareholder). We
expect that future investments in hotels will depend on and will be financed
by,
in whole or in part, our existing cash, the proceeds from additional issuances
of common shares, issuances of operating partnership units or other securities
or borrowings. We make available to the TRS of our hotels 4% (6% for full
service properties) of gross revenues per quarter, on a cumulative basis, for
periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment
at
each of our hotels. We believe that a 4% (6% for full service hotels) reserve
is
a prudent estimate for future capital expenditure requirements. We intend to
spend amounts in excess of the obligated amounts if necessary to comply with
the
reasonable requirements of any franchise license under which any of our hotels
operate and otherwise to the extent we deem such expenditures to be in our
best
interests. We are also obligated to fund the cost of certain capital
improvements to our hotels. We will use undistributed cash or borrowings under
credit facilities to pay for the cost of capital improvements and any furniture,
fixture and equipment requirements in excess of the set aside referenced
above.
Cash
Flow Analysis
Net
cash
provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006
was $18,946 and $10,061, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by
operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in income before
depreciation and amortization and an increase in due from related parties.
The
increase in net cash provided by income before depreciation and amortization
was
partially offset by an increase in hotel accounts receivable.
Net
cash
used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased
$116,317 from $160,118 in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $43,801
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net cash used for the purchase of hotel
properties decreased $112,423 in 2007 over 2006. Cash used for deposits on
hotel
acquisitions in 2007 decreased by $11,207 over the same period in 2006. We
increased our capital expenditures from $5,124 in 2006 to $8,370 in 2007 as
a
result of continuing property improvement plans at certain properties in 2007
that began in the second half of 2006 in addition to capital expenditures in
the
ordinary course of business. Cash provided by repayment of development loans
receivable, net of new loans originated, increased by $1,866 in 2007 compared
to
2006, as the repayments of new development loans exceeded originations in
2007. Cash provided by the repayment of notes receivable decreased
$1,813 from $1,843 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $30 for the
six
months ended June 30, 2007. The sale of a hotel asset held for sale
during the six months ended June 30, 2006 provided $3,665 in
proceeds. No hotel assets were sold during the same period in
2007.
Net
cash
provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was
$24,110 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $146,123 for the
six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was, in part, the result of
proceeds from mortgages and notes payable, net of repayments, of $18,174 in
2007
compared to net proceeds of $62,137 in 2006. Net cash provided by borrowing
under our line of credit facility was $32,034 in 2006 compared to $24,800
in 2007. Net borrowings under the line of credit were used in 2007
and 2006 to fund the acquisition of hotel properties. Also, proceeds
from common stock issuances during the six months ended June 30, 2006 were
$63,353. As a result of this issuance and other issuance during the
year ended December 31, 2006, our cash used to pay dividends to common
shareholders increased $7,310 during the six months ended June 30,
2007. We did not have a common stock issuance during the first six
months of 2007.
Funds
From Operations
The
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed Funds
from Operations (“FFO”) as a non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an
equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically
has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. We calculate FFO
applicable to common shares and Partnership units in accordance with the April
2002 National Policy Bulletin of NAREIT, which we refer to as the White Paper.
The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with
GAAP) excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses
from sales of previously depreciated assets, plus certain non-cash items, such
as depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. Our interpretation of the NAREIT definition
is
that minority interest in net income (loss) should be added back to (deducted
from) net income (loss) as part of reconciling net income (loss) to FFO. Our
FFO
computation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not
compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the
NAREIT definition differently than we do.
The
GAAP
measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income (loss)
applicable to common shares, includes depreciation and amortization expenses,
gains or losses on property sales, minority interest and preferred dividends.
In
computing FFO, we eliminate these items because, in our view, they are not
indicative of the results from our property operations.
FFO
does
not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP
and
should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of
Hersha’s performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to
make distributions. We consider FFO to be a meaningful, additional measure
of
operating performance because it excludes the effects of the assumption that
the
value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because it
is
widely used by industry analysts as a performance measure. We show both FFO
from
consolidated hotel operations and FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures because
we believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand the relative
contributions from our consolidated and unconsolidated hotels. The display
of
both FFO from consolidated hotels and FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures
allows for a detailed analysis of the operating performance of our hotel
portfolio by management and investors. We present FFO applicable to common
shares and Partnership units because our Partnership units are redeemable for
common shares. We believe it is meaningful for the investor to understand FFO
applicable to all common shares and Partnership units.
The
following table reconciles FFO for the periods presented to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure, net income, for the same periods.

FFO
was
$18,281 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, which was an increase
of
$9,683 over FFO in the comparable period in 2006. FFO was $21,970 for
the six month period ended June 30, 2007, which was an increase of $13,805
over
FFO in the comparable period in 2006. The increase in FFO was
primarily a result of a strengthened economy; the benefits of acquiring assets
and interests in joint ventures since March 31, 2006; continued stabilization
and maturation of the existing portfolio; and continued attention to the average
daily rate.
FFO
was
negatively impacted by increases in our interest expense during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
estimates and assumptions made by management in applying critical accounting
policies have not changed materially during 2007 and 2006, and none of the
estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted
in
our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior
periods. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 for a summary of the accounting policies that management
believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
Subsequent
Events
On
July
1, 2007, we acquired the Holiday Inn, Norwich, CT from an entity owned in part
by certain officers and affiliated directors of the Company for approximately
$16,100, which included the assumption of approximately $8,200 in existing
debt
and the issuance of 659,312 units in our operating partnership valued at $12.01
per unit. The existing debt includes both a first mortgage of $5,200
and a second mortgage of $3,000. The first mortgage is secured by a
first lien on the property, matures on July 31, 2025 and bears interest at
a
fixed rate of 6.75% per annum. The second mortgage is secured by a
second lien on the Holiday Inn, matures on September 26, 2027 and bears interest
at the prime rate plus 0.75% per annum.
On
July
11, 2007, we acquired a second parcel of land on Nevins Street, Brooklyn, NY
for
$7,535, adjacent to land we acquired on June 11, 2007. In connection
with the acquisition of the land, we entered into interest only mortgage debt
in
the amount of $6,500 bearing interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus
2.70%. The debt matures in July of 2009. The land was
immediately leased to H Nevins Associates, LLC, an entity owned in part by
certain officers and affiliated directors of the Company. The lease
bears the same terms as the lease for the first Nevins Street parcel acquired
on
June 11, 2007.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
(dollars
in thousands, except per share data)
Our
primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates on our variable
rate Line of Credit and other floating rate debt. At June 30, 2007, we
maintained a balance of $48,800 under our Line of Credit. The total floating
rate mortgages payable of $53,989 had a current weighted average interest rate
of 7.90%. The total fixed rate mortgages and notes payable of $577,655 had
a
current weighted average interest rate of 6.20%.
Our
interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate
fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing
costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations
in
market interest rates for a portion of our borrowings through the use of fixed
rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are
obtainable with such arrangements. We may enter into derivative financial
instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps and treasury options or locks
to
mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to
effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt.
Currently, we have one interest rate swap related to debt on the Four Points
by
Sheraton, Revere, MA and one interest rate cap related to debt on the Hotel
373,
New York, New York. We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate
transactions for speculative purposes.
Approximately
91.5% of our outstanding mortgages payable are subject to fixed rates, including
the debt whose rate is fixed through a derivative instrument, while
approximately 8.5% of our outstanding mortgages payable are subject to floating
rates. The total weighted average interest rate on our debt and Line of Credit
as of June 30, 2007 was approximately 6.43%. If the interest rate for our Line
of Credit and other variable rate debt was 100 basis points higher or lower
during the period ended June 30, 2007, our interest expense for the three and
six month period ended June 30, 2006 would have been increased or decreased
by
approximately $216 and $686, respectively.
Changes
in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impact the fair value of the
debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred for cash flow. If interest
rates
raise 100 basis points and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we
expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, the same way the price of a
bond
declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our
fixed-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates
from
their June 30, 2007 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis
point increase in market interest rates would result in the fair value of our
fixed-rate debt approximating $530,856, and a 100 basis point decrease in market
interest rates would result in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt
approximating $643,696.
We
regularly review interest rate exposure on our outstanding borrowings in an
effort to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. For debt obligations
outstanding at June 30, 2007, the following table presents expected principal
repayments and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity
dates (in thousands):

The
table
incorporates only those exposures that existed as of June 30, 2007 and does
not
consider exposure or positions that could arise after that date. As a result,
our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations
will depend on the exposures that arise during the future period, prevailing
interest rates, and our hedging strategies at that time.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Based
on
the most recent evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer believe the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of
June 30, 2007. There were no changes to the Company’s internal controls over
financial reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
