Any transition requires time to adapt and adjust to
new systems and ways of doing business, and this
was no exception. The transition is progressing as
expected, and hotel operations are beginning to
show tangible signs of improvement. We are working
closely with our operators to focus on building
occupancy while optimizing room rate. Our manage-
ment direction is for each property to continuously
monitor its market and adjust the optimum mix
between rate and occupancy. We are encouraged
that as the economy continues to slowly improve
and our operators settle into our properties,

In September, we sold our corporate office building in

Outlook As we entered 2012, we had 24 hotels
held for sale. We will regularly evaluate our portfolio
and, over time, expect to dramatically change the
make-up of our portfolio to acquire larger, premium-
branded, select-service properties.
STRENGTHENED THE BALANCE SHEET
We have made considerable progress to further
strengthen our balance sheet. We are fortunate to
have good lender relationships and now are in a
stronger position than we were when the downturn
began in 2008. However, much work remains to be
done as we work toward still lower debt levels.
During 2011, we refinanced more than $20 million of
mortgage debt, despite the difficult credit market,
and have adjusted our covenants and maturities to
better fit our hotel disposition plan. At year end,
we had $131.3 million in outstanding debt on our
continuing operations properties with an average
maturity of 3.5 years at a weighted average interest
rate of 6.37 percent.
Outlook We have one loan maturing in December
2012, which is secured by 32 assets. We intend to
refinance that pool of assets in several tranches to
achieve more flexible terms which will allow us to
sell off the non-core properties without serious
pre-payment penalty. We are working closely with
our mortgage brokers and our existing lenders and

Item 1. Business
PART I
References to “we”, “our”, “us” and “Company” refer to Supertel Hospitality, Inc., including, as the context requires, its direct
and indirect subsidiaries.
(a) Description of Business
Overview
We are a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT), and through our subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2011 we owned
100 limited service hotels in 23 states. Our hotels operate under several national franchise and independent brands.
Our significant events for 2011 include:
• We sold six hotels for gross proceeds of $11.8 million and used the net proceeds primarily to pay off the underlying mortgages;
• Non cash impairment charges of $14.3 million were booked against hotels sold, held for sale, and held for use;
• As of December 31, 2011, we had 24 hotels classified as held for sale with a total net book value of $33.0 million. Gross
proceeds from the sales are expected to be approximately $42.7 million, and net proceeds will be used to pay off the underlying
mortgages with remaining cash used for operations;
• We entered into an agreement in November 2011 for the sale of Series C preferred stock to Real Estate Strategies, L.P. for $30
million, which was completed in February 2012; and
• On December 9, 2011, we amended our credit facilities with Great Western Bank and subsequently extended the maturity dates
to June 30, 2013.
General Development of Business
We are a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we were incorporated in Virginia on August 23, 1994. Our common stock
began to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market on October 30, 1996. Our Series A and Series B preferred stock began to trade on The
Nasdaq Global Market on December 30, 2005 and June 3, 2008, respectively.
Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Supertel Hospitality REIT Trust and E&P REIT Trust, we own a controlling interest in
Supertel Limited Partnership and E&P Financing Limited Partnership. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella
partnership REIT, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnerships, Supertel Limited Partnership
and E&P Financing Limited Partnership, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other subsidiaries of our operating
partnerships. We currently own, indirectly, an approximate 99% general partnership interest in Supertel Limited Partnership and a
100% partnership interest in E&P Financing Limited Partnership. In the future, these limited partnerships may issue limited
partnership interests to third parties from time to time in connection with our acquisitions of hotel properties or the raising of capital.
In order for the income from our hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross
income tests required for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of our hotels. Therefore,
we lease each of our hotel properties to our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries. Under the REIT Modernization Act (“RMA”),
which became effective January 1, 2000, REITs are permitted to lease their hotels to wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries. We
formed TRS Leasing, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries TRS Subsidiary LLC; SPPR TRS Subsidiary, LLC and SPPR-BMI TRS
Subsidiary, LLC (collectively the “TRS Lessee”) in accordance with the RMA. Pursuant to the RMA, the TRS Lessee is required to
enter into management agreements with an “eligible independent contractor” who will manage the hotels leased by the TRS Lessee.
Accordingly the hotels are leased to our taxable TRS Lessee and are managed by Hospitality Management Advisors, Inc. (“HMA”),
Strand Development Company LLC (“Strand”), Kinseth Hotel Corporation (“Kinseth”), and HLC Hotels Inc. (“HLC”) pursuant to
management agreements.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
We are engaged primarily in the business of owning equity interests in hotel properties and therefore our business is disclosed as
one reportable segment. See the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K for certain financial information required in this Item 1.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
General At December 31, 2011, we owned, through our subsidiaries, 100 hotels in 23 states. The hotels are operated by HMA
(25 hotels), Strand (23 hotels), Kinseth (45 hotels) and HLC (7 hotels).
Mission Statement Our primary objective is to consistently generate a competitive rate of return for our shareholders through a
disciplined approach to real estate investing.
3
Sale of Hotels We may undertake the sale of one or more of the hotels from time to time in response to changes in market
conditions, our current or projected return on our investment in the hotels or other factors which we deem relevant. During the year
2009, eight of our hotels were sold and 19 properties were held for sale as of December 31, 2009; during the year 2010, nine of our
hotels were sold and 18 properties were held for sale as of December 31, 2010; and during the year 2011, six of our hotels were sold
and 24 properties were held for sale as of December 31, 2011.
Just as we carefully evaluate the hotels we plan to acquire, our asset management team periodically evaluates our existing
properties to determine if an asset is likely to underperform in the market. If we determine that a property no longer is competitive in a
market and has limited opportunity to be repositioned, we will look to monetize the asset in a disciplined and timely manner. The
process of identifying assets for disposition is closely related to the acquisition criteria and the overall direction of the organization.
Every asset is periodically reviewed by management in the context of the entire portfolio to evaluate its relative ranking against all of
the properties. If an asset is determined to be underperforming our projections and is thereby no longer accretive, and has a low
probability of being repositioned, we will look to dispose of the investment as soon as possible within the constraints of the market
and lender’s covenants.
Internal Growth Strategy We seek to grow internally through improvements to our existing hotels’ operating results, principally
through increased occupancy and average daily rates, and through reductions in operating expenses. Internally generated cash flow
and any residual cash flow, together with funds generated through external financing sources, will principally be used to fund
acquisitions and ongoing capital improvements to our hotels, including furniture, fixtures and equipment. In addition to the
aforementioned uses, the Company must generate sufficient cash flow to meet other working capital needs, which include debt and
dividend payments.
Acquisition Strategy Any acquisition, investment or purchase of property in excess of $5 million requires approval of the
Investment Committee of our Board of Directors. Our general investment criteria are described below:
•
•
•
•
•
•
hotels with proven historical cash flows and reasonable leverage;
hotels with brand affiliations that are performing at specifically defined metrics levels;
hotels constructed or renovated which enjoy a design consistent with contemporary standards;
hotels located in larger markets where our management companies have prior experience;
hotels in markets with improving demographics and durable, long-term, definable economic drivers of growth; and
hotels usually containing a minimum of 80 rooms.
Our organizational documents do not limit the types of investments we can make; however, our intent for new acquisitions is to
focus primarily on upper midscale and upscale properties with orderly divestiture of the economy properties and a majority of the
midscale properties over the next seven to ten years.
Hotel Management HMA, Strand, Kinseth and HLC, all independent contractors, manage our hotels pursuant to hotel
management agreements with TRS Lessee. The hotel management agreements provide that the management companies have control
of all operational aspects of the hotels, including employee-related matters. The management companies must generally maintain each
hotel under their management in good repair and condition and make routine maintenance, repairs and minor alterations. Additionally,
the management companies must operate the hotels in accordance with the national franchise agreements that cover the hotels, which
includes, as applicable, using franchisor sales and reservation systems as well as abiding by franchisors’ marketing standards. The
management companies may not assign their management agreements without our consent.
The management agreements generally require TRS Lessee to fund debt service, working capital needs and capital expenditures
and fund the management companies’ third-party operating expenses, except those expenses not related to the operation of the hotels.
TRS Lessee is responsible for obtaining and maintaining insurance policies with respect to the hotels.
Management Company Fees (HMA, Strand and Kinseth) On April 21, 2011, the Company through TRS Lessee entered into
separate management agreements with HMA, Strand and Kinseth as eligible independent operators to manage 95 of the Company’s
hotels (two of which were subsequently sold) commencing June 1, 2011. These hotels were previously managed by Royco Hotels.
Each of HMA, Strand and Kinseth receives a monthly management fee with respect to the hotels they manage equal to 3.5% of
the gross hotel income and 2.25% of hotel net operating income (“NOI”). NOI is equal to gross hotel income less operating expenses
(exclusive of management fees, certain insurance premiums and employee bonuses, and personal and real property taxes).
The Company may terminate a management agreement, subject to cure rights, with respect to a hotel if the hotel fails to achieve
at least 80% budgeted NOI and 90% of the benchmark for revenue per available room for the hotel. The Company may also terminate
a management agreement, subject to cure rights, for all of the hotels subject to the agreement if the hotels as a group fail to achieve at
least 80% budgeted NOI and 90% of the benchmark for revenue per available room for the hotels. A management agreement
terminates with respect to a hotel upon sale of the hotel, subject to certain notice requirements. The Company may also terminate a
4
management agreement with respect to a hotel at any time without reason upon payment of a termination fee equal to 50% of the
management fee paid with respect to the hotel during the prior 12 months.
With the exception of certain events of default as to which no grace period exists, if an event of default occurs and continues
beyond the grace period set forth in the management agreement, the non-defaulting party has the option of terminating the agreement.
The management agreement provides that each party, subject to certain exceptions, indemnifies and holds harmless the other
party against any liabilities stemming from certain negligent acts or omissions, breach of contract, willful misconduct or tortuous
actions by the indemnifying party or any of its affiliates.
HMA manages 25 Company hotels in Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia and Florida. Strand
manages the Company’s seven economy extended-stay hotels located in Georgia and South Carolina as well as 16 additional
Company hotels located in Georgia, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Kinseth manages 45 Company hotels in eight states primarily in the Midwest. Each of the management agreements expire on May 31,
2014 and will renew for additional terms of one year unless either party to the agreement gives the other party written notice of
termination at least 90 days before the end of a term.
HLC Management Fee The hotel management agreement with HLC, as amended, provides for HLC to operate and manage our
seven Masters Inn hotels, located in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama, through December 31, 2013. The agreement
provides for HLC to receive management fees equal to 5.0% of the gross revenues derived from the operation of the hotels and
incentive fees equal to 10% of the annual operating income of the hotels in excess of 10.5% of the Company’s investment in the
hotels.

Seasonality of Hotel Business
The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates, revenues and operating results for hotels operating in the
geographic areas in which we operate are greater in the second and third quarters of the calendar year than in the first and fourth
quarters, with the exception of our hotels located in Florida, which experience peak demand in the first and fourth quarters of the year.
5
Competition
The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of our hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotel properties.
The number of competitive hotel properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on revenues, occupancy and the
average daily room rate of the hotels or at hotel properties acquired in the future. A number of our hotels have experienced increased
competition in the form of newly constructed competing hotels in the local markets, and we expect the entry of new competition to
continue in several additional markets over the next several years.
We may compete for investment opportunities with entities that have substantially greater financial resources than us. These
entities generally may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage. Competition in general may reduce the number of
suitable investment opportunities for us and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. Further, we believe that
competition from entities organized for purposes substantially similar to our objectives could increase significantly.
Employees
At December 31, 2011, the REIT had 19 employees. The management companies, which manage the 100 hotels, had
workforces of approximately 1,656 employees, which are dedicated to the operation of the hotels.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business
The weak economy may adversely impact our current and future borrowings.
The Company’s operating performance, as well as its liquidity position, has been and continues to be negatively affected by
recent economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control. Given the deterioration and uncertainty in the economy and
financial markets, management believes that access to conventional sources of capital will be challenging. We may not be able to
successfully extend, refinance or repay our debt due to a number of factors, including decreased property valuations, limited
availability of credit, tightened lending standards and deteriorating economic conditions. We expect lenders will continue to maintain
tight lending standards, which could make it more difficult for us to obtain future credit facilities on terms similar to the terms of our
current credit facilities or to obtain long-term financing on favorable terms or at all. If our plans to meet our liquidity requirements in
the weak economy are not successful, we may violate our loan covenants. If we violate covenants in our debt agreements, we could be
required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such
repayment on favorable terms, if at all.
Our plans for meeting our short-term liquidity needs include the sale of hotels and we may not be able to timely sell hotels to meet
our liquidity needs.
In the near-term, our cash flow from operations is not projected to be sufficient to meet all of our liquidity needs. In response,
we have identified non-core assets in our portfolio to be liquidated. We cannot predict whether we will be able to find buyers or sell
any of these hotels at an acceptable price or on reasonable terms or whether potential buyers will be able to secure financing. We also
cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing buyer and to close the sale of a hotel. Because investments in hotels are
relatively illiquid, our ability to meet our liquidity needs through the sale of hotels may be limited. If we are unable to generate cash
from the sale of hotels and other sources, we may have liquidity-related capital shortfalls and will be exposed to default risks.
We will likely seek to sell equity and/or debt securities to meet our need for additional cash, and we cannot assure you that such
financing will be available and further, in connection with such sales our current shareholders could experience a material
amount of dilution.
We will require additional cash resources due to current business conditions and any acquisitions we may decide to pursue. We
will likely seek to sell additional equity and/or debt securities. We cannot assure you that the sale of such securities will be available in
amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If our board determines to sell additional shares of common stock or other debt or
equity securities, a material amount of dilution may cause the market price of the common stock to decline.
6
The engagement of multiple new management companies could adversely affect our operating results.
Our management agreement with the independent operator of 95 of our hotels (two of which were subsequently sold) terminated
on May 31, 2011 pursuant to the settlement of a lawsuit with that operator. We have engaged three new management companies to
operate these hotels commencing June 1, 2011. If the integration of the new independent operators in the management of our hotels is
not accomplished efficiently as planned, we will experience a decrease in our operating results from decreased occupancy, revenue per
available room and average daily rates and other significant disruptions at our hotels and in our operations generally.
The current economy has negatively impacted the hotel industry and our business.
The current difficulties in the credit markets, a soft economy and apprehension among consumers have negatively impacted the
hotel industry and our business. In recent years, the slowing economy has caused a softening in business travel, especially among
construction-related workers, a particularly strong guest group for many of our hotels. Accordingly, our financial results and growth
could be harmed if the economic slowdown continues for a significant period or becomes worse.
The impact of the weak economy on lenders may impact our future borrowings.
The weakness of the national economy has increased the financial instability of some lenders. As a result, we expect lenders
may continue to maintain tight lending standards, which could make it more difficult for us to obtain future credit facilities on terms
similar to the terms of our current credit facilities or to obtain long-term financing on favorable terms or at all. Our financial condition
and results of operations would be adversely affected if we were unable to obtain cost-effective financing.
We cannot assure you that we will qualify, or remain qualified, as a REIT.
We currently are taxed as a REIT, and we expect to qualify as a REIT for future taxable years, but we cannot assure you that we
will remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, all of our earnings will be subject to federal income taxation,
which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders, and we will not be required to distribute our
income to our stockholders.
Current economic conditions have adversely affected the valuation of our hotels which may result in further impairment charges
on our properties.
We analyze our assets for impairment when events or circumstances occur that indicate an asset’s carrying value may not be
recoverable. For impaired assets, we record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the property’s carrying value over its fair
value. Our operating results for 2011 and 2010 included $14.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of impairment charges related to
our hotels sold, held for sale, and held for use. As a result of continued economic weakness, we may incur additional impairment
charges, which will negatively affect our results of operations. We can provide no assurance that any impairment loss recognized
would not be material to our results of operations.
Our returns depend on management of our hotels by third parties.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate any hotel or participate in the decisions affecting the daily operations of any
hotel. Under the REIT Modernization Act of 1999, REITs are permitted to lease their hotels to TRSs. However, a TRS, such as TRS
Lessee, may not operate or manage the leased hotels and, therefore, must enter into management agreements with third-party eligible
independent contractors to manage the hotels. Thus, an independent operator under a management agreement with TRS Lessee
controls the daily operations of each of our hotels.
Under the terms of the management agreements between TRS Lessee and HMA, Strand, Kinseth and HLC, our ability to
participate in operating decisions regarding the hotels is limited. We depend on our management companies to adequately operate our
hotels as provided in the management agreements. We do not have the authority to require any hotel to be operated in a particular
manner or to govern any particular aspect of the daily operations of any hotel (for instance, setting room rates). Thus, even if we
believe our hotels are being operated inefficiently or in a manner that does not result in satisfactory occupancy rates, revenue per
available room and average daily rates, we may not be able to force HMA, Strand, Kinseth or HLC to change their methods of
operation of our hotels. We can only seek redress if a management company violates the terms of the management agreement with
TRS Lessee, and then only to the extent of the remedies provided for under the terms of the applicable management agreement. If any
of the foregoing occurs at franchised hotels, our relationship with the franchisors may be damaged, and we may be in breach of one or
more of our franchise agreements. Additionally, in the event that we need to replace a management company, we may experience
decreased occupancy and other significant disruptions at our hotels and in our operations generally.
7
Failure of the hotel industry to continue to improve or remain stable may adversely affect our ability to execute our business
strategies, which, in turn, would adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Our business strategy is focused in the hotel industry, and we cannot assure you that hotel industry fundamentals will continue
to improve or remain stable. Economic slowdown and world events outside our control, such as terrorism, have adversely affected the
hotel industry in the recent past and if these events reoccur, may adversely affect the industry in the future. In the event conditions in
the hotel industry do not continue to improve or remain stable, our ability to execute our business strategies will be adversely affected,
which, in turn, would adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Arranging financing for acquisitions and dispositions of hotels is difficult in the current capital markets.
The capital markets are weakened as a consequence of the weak economy. Although we will continue to carefully evaluate and
discuss both buying and selling opportunities, debt and equity financing could be a challenge to obtain for acquisitions and
dispositions of hotels.
We face competition for the acquisition of hotels and we may not be successful in identifying or completing hotel acquisitions that
meet our criteria, which may impede our growth.
One component of our business strategy is expansion through acquisitions, and we may not be successful in identifying or
completing acquisitions that are consistent with our strategy, particularly in the current economy. We compete with institutional
pension funds, private equity investors, REITs, hotel companies and others who are engaged in the acquisition of hotels. This
competition for hotel investments may increase the price we pay for hotels and these competitors may succeed in acquiring those
hotels that we seek to acquire. Furthermore, our potential acquisition targets may find our competitors to be more attractive suitors
because they may have greater marketing and financial resources, may be willing to pay more or may have a more compatible
operating philosophy. In addition, the number of entities competing for suitable hotels may increase in the future, which would
increase demand for these hotels and the prices we must pay to acquire them. If we pay higher prices for hotels, our returns on
investment and profitability may be reduced. Also, future acquisitions of hotels or hotel companies may not yield the returns we
expect and may result in stockholder dilution.
Our TRS lessee structure subjects us to the risk of increased operating expenses.
Our hotel management agreements require us to bear the operating risks of our hotel properties. Our operating risks include not
only changes in hotel revenues and changes in TRS Lessee’s ability to pay the rent due under the leases, but also increased operating
expenses, including, among other things:
• wage and benefit costs;
•
repair and maintenance expenses;
energy costs;
property taxes;
insurance costs; and
other operating expenses.
•
•
•
•
Any decreases in hotel revenues or increases in operating expenses could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and cash flow.
Our debt service obligations could adversely affect our operating results, may require us to liquidate our properties and limit our
ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We seek to maintain a total stabilized debt level of no more than 60% of our aggregate property investment at cost. We,
however, may change or eliminate this target at any time without the approval of our stockholders. At January 31, 2012, our debt to
property investment was approximately 54.5%. In the future, we and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional debt, including
secured debt. Incurring such debt could subject us to many risks, including the risks that:
our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payment of principal and interest;
•
• we may be more vulnerable to adverse economic and industry conditions;
• we may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the repayment of our debt,
thereby reducing the cash available for distribution to our stockholders, funds available for operations and capital
expenditures, future investment opportunities or other purposes;
8
•
•
the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of the debt being refinanced; and
the use of leverage could adversely affect our stock price and the ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
If we violate covenants in our indebtedness agreements, we could be required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness
before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such repayment on favorable terms, if at all. Our Great
Western Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation credit facilities contain cross-default provisions which would allow Great
Western Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation to declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on
certain other loans, and such default would permit that lender to accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan.
Approximately $34.6 million of the Company’s debt is currently scheduled to mature in 2012. Because we do not expect to have
sufficient funds from operating activities to repay our debt at maturity, we intend to refinance this debt through additional debt
financing, private or public offerings of debt securities, or additional equity financings. If, at the time of any refinancing, prevailing
interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates on refinancings, increases in interest expense could adversely affect our
cash flow, and, consequently, our cash available for distribution to our stockholders. If we are unable to refinance our debt on
acceptable terms, we may be forced to dispose of our hotel properties on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses
adversely affecting cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we may place mortgages on our hotel properties to secure our lines
of credit or other debt. To the extent we cannot meet these debt service obligations, we risk losing some or all of those properties to
foreclosure. Additionally, our debt covenants could impair our planned strategies and, if violated, result in a default of our debt
obligations.
Higher interest rates could increase debt service requirements on our floating rate debt and could reduce the amounts available
for distribution to our stockholders, as well as reduce funds available for our operations, future investment opportunities or other
purposes. At January 31, 2012, approximately 19.7% of our debt had floating rates. We may obtain in the future one or more forms of
interest rate protection—in the form of swap agreements, interest rate cap contracts or similar agreements—to “hedge” against the
possible negative effects of interest rate fluctuations. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging will adequately mitigate the
adverse effects of interest rate increases or that counterparties under these agreements will honor their obligations. In addition, we may
be subject to risks of default by hedging counterparties. Adverse economic conditions could also cause the terms on which we borrow
to be unfavorable.
Our ability to make distributions on our common and preferred stock is subject to fluctuations in our financial performance,
operating results and capital improvement requirements.
As a REIT, we generally are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard
to the dividends paid deduction, each year to our stockholders. Downturns in our operating results and financial performance or
unanticipated capital improvements to our hotel properties may affect our ability to declare or pay distributions to our stockholders.
Further, we may not generate sufficient cash in order to fund distributions to our stockholders, which may require us to sell assets or
borrow money to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements.
Among the factors which could adversely affect our results of operations and our distributions to stockholders are reduced net
operating profits or operating losses, increased debt service requirements and capital expenditures at our hotel properties. Among the
factors which could reduce our net operating profits are decreases in hotel property revenues and increases in hotel property operating
expenses. Hotel property revenue can decrease for a number of reasons, including increased competition from a new supply of rooms
and decreased demand for rooms. These factors can reduce both occupancy and room rates at our hotel properties.
The timing and amount of distributions are in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, which will consider, among other
factors, our actual results of operations, debt service requirements, capital expenditure requirements for our properties and our
operating expenses. We suspended our quarterly common stock dividend in March 2009 to preserve our capital in a difficult economic
environment. Our future dividends on our preferred stock may be reduced or also suspended if economic circumstances warrant.
We have restrictive debt covenants that could adversely affect our ability to run our business.
We file quarterly loan compliance certificates with certain of our lenders. Weakness in the economy, and the lodging industry at
large, may result in our non-compliance with our loan covenants. Such non-compliance with our loan covenants may result in our
lenders restricting the use of our operating funds for capital improvements to our existing hotels, including improvements required by
our franchise agreements or calling the debt. We cannot assure you that our loan covenants will permit us to maintain our business
strategy.
Our restrictive debt covenants may jeopardize our tax status as a REIT.
To maintain our REIT status, we generally must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders
annually. In addition, we are subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax if the actual amount distributed to shareholders in a calendar
year is less than a minimum amount specified under the federal income tax laws. In the event we do not comply with our debt service
obligations, our lenders may limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, which could adversely affect our REIT status.
9
Operating our hotels under franchise agreements could adversely affect distributions to our shareholders.
Eighty five of our hotels operate under third party franchise agreements and we are subject to the risks of concentrating our
hotel investments in several franchise brands. These risks include reductions in business following negative publicity related to any
one of our particular brands. Risks associated with our brands could adversely affect our lease revenues and the amounts available for
distribution to our shareholders.
The maintenance of the franchise licenses for our hotels is subject to our franchisors’ operating standards and other terms and
conditions. Our franchisors periodically inspect our hotels to ensure that we and TRS Lessee follow their standards. Failure to
maintain these standards or other terms and conditions could result in a franchise license being canceled. As a condition of our
continued holding of a franchise license, a franchisor could also possibly require us to make capital expenditures, even if we do not
believe the capital improvements are necessary or desirable or will result in an acceptable return on our investment. Nonetheless, we
may risk losing a franchise license if we do not make franchisor-required capital expenditures.
If a franchisor terminates the franchise license, we may try either to obtain a suitable replacement franchise or to operate the
hotel without a franchise license. The loss of a franchise license could materially and adversely affect the operations or the underlying
value of the hotel because of the loss of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided
by the franchisor. Loss of a franchise license for several of our hotels could materially and adversely affect our revenues. This loss of
revenues could, therefore, also adversely affect our cash available for distribution to shareholders.
Our inability to obtain financing could limit our growth.
We are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders each year in order to continue to
qualify as a REIT. Our debt service obligations and distribution requirements limit our ability to fund capital expenditures,
acquisitions and hotel development through retained earnings. Our ability to grow through acquisitions or development of hotels will
be limited if we cannot obtain debt or equity financing.
Neither our articles of incorporation nor our bylaws limit the amount of debt we can incur. Our Board of Directors can
implement and modify a debt limitation policy without shareholder approval. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain
additional equity financing or debt financing or that we will be able to obtain any financing on favorable terms.
We may not be able to complete development of new hotels on time or within budget.
We may develop hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. New project development is subject to a number of risks that
could cause increased costs or delays in our ability to generate revenue from any development hotel, reducing our cash available for
distribution to shareholders. These risks include:
•
•
•
•
construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs;
competition for suitable development sites;
receipt of zoning, land use, building, construction, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;
and
substantial development costs in connection with projects that are not completed.
We may not be able to complete the development of any projects we begin and, if completed, our development and construction
activities may not be completed in a timely manner or within budget.
We may also rehabilitate hotels that we believe are underperforming. These rehabilitation projects will be subject to the same
risks as development projects.
Hotels that we develop have no operating history and may not achieve levels of occupancy that result in levels of operating income
that provide us with an attractive return on our investment.
The new hotels that we may develop will have no operating history. These hotels, both during the start-up period and after they
have stabilized, may not achieve anticipated levels of occupancy, average daily room rates, or gross operating margins, and could
result in operating losses and reduce the amount of distributions to our shareholders.
Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on a co-
venturer’s financial condition and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
We may co-invest in the future with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, acquiring non-controlling
interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a property, partnership, joint venture or other entity. In such event, we
would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the property, partnership, joint venture or other entity.
Investments in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third
10
party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required
capital contributions. Investments in joint ventures may require that we provide the joint venture entity with the right of first offer or
right of first refusal to acquire any new property we consider acquiring directly. Partners or co-venturers may have economic or other
business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary
to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because
neither we nor the partner or co-venturer would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. Disputes between us and
partners or co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or
directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by, or disputes with, partners or co-venturers
might result in subjecting properties owned by the partnership or joint venture to additional risk. We may also, in certain
circumstances, be liable for the actions of our third-party partners or co-venturers. For example, we may be required to guarantee
indebtedness incurred by a partnership, joint venture or other entity for the purchase or renovation of a hotel property. Such a
guarantee may be on a joint and several basis with our partner or co-venturer in which case we may be liable in the event such party
defaults on its guaranty obligation.
Our business could be disrupted if we need to find a new manager upon termination of an existing management agreement.
If a hotel manager that we engage fails to materially comply with the terms of the management agreement, we have the right to
terminate the management agreement. Upon termination, we would have to find another manager to manage the properties. We cannot
operate the hotels directly due to federal income tax restrictions. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find another manager
or that, if another manager were found, we would be able to enter into a new management agreement favorable to us. In addition, any
new manager may operate other hotels that may compete with our hotels or divert attention away from the management of our hotels
and may not be successful in managing our hotels. Our franchisors may require us to make substantial capital improvements to the
hotels prior to their approval, if required, of a new manager. There would be disruption during any change of hotel management that
could adversely affect our operating results and reduce our distributions to our shareholders.
We may not be able to sell hotels on favorable terms.
We sold six hotels in 2011, and we sold nine hotels in 2010. At December 31, 2011, we have 24 hotel properties held for sale.
We may not be able to sell such hotels on favorable terms, and such hotels may be sold at a loss. As with acquisitions, we face
competition for buyers of our hotel properties. Other sellers of hotels may have the financial resources to dispose of their hotels on
unfavorable terms that we would be unable to accept. If we cannot find buyers for any properties that are designated for sale, we will
not be able to implement our disposition strategy. In the event that we cannot fully execute our disposition strategy or realize the
benefits therefrom, we may not be able to satisfy our liquidity needs (including meeting our debt service obligations) and will not be
able to fully execute our growth strategy.
Geographic concentration of our hotels will make our business vulnerable to economic downturns in the Midwestern and Eastern
United States.
Most of our hotels are located in the Midwestern and Eastern United States. Economic conditions in the Midwestern and Eastern
United States will significantly affect our revenues and the value of our hotels. Business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns,
changing demographics and other similar factors may adversely affect the economic climate in these areas. Any resulting oversupply
or reduced demand for hotels in the Midwestern and Eastern United States and our markets in particular would therefore have a
disproportionate negative impact on our revenues and limit our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Unanticipated expenses and insufficient demand for hotels we acquire in new geographic markets could adversely affect our
profitability and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We may develop or acquire hotels in geographic areas in which our management may have little or no operating experience and
in which potential customers may not be familiar with our franchise brands. As a result, we may have to incur costs relating to the
opening, operation and promotion of those new hotel properties that are substantially greater than those incurred in other areas. These
hotels may attract fewer customers than our existing hotels, while at the same time, we may incur substantial additional costs with
these new hotel properties. Unanticipated expenses and insufficient demand at a new hotel property, therefore, could adversely affect
our profitability and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
An economic recession and industry downturn could adversely affect our results of operations.
If room supply outpaces demand, our operating margins may deteriorate and we may be unable to execute our business plan. In
addition, if this trend continues, we may be unable to continue to meet our debt service obligations or to obtain necessary additional
financing.
11
Our borrowing costs are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.
Higher interest rates could increase debt service requirements on our floating rate debt including any borrowings under our
credit facilities. Any borrowings under our credit facilities having floating interest rates may increase due to market conditions.
Adverse economic conditions could also cause the terms on which we borrow to be unfavorable. We could be required to liquidate one
or more of our hotel investments at times which may not permit us to receive an attractive return on our investments in order to meet
our debt service obligations.
Future acquisitions may not yield the returns expected, may result in disruptions to our business, may strain management
resources, may not be efficiently integrated into operations, and may result in stockholder dilution.
Our business strategy may not ultimately be successful and may not provide positive returns on our investments. Acquisitions
may cause disruptions in our operations and divert management’s attention away from day-to-day operations. If the integration of our
acquisitions into our management companies’ operations is not accomplished as efficiently as planned, we will not achieve the
expected operating results from the acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities in connection with any acquisition could be
substantially dilutive to our stockholders.
We depend on key personnel.
We depend on the efforts and expertise of our executive officers to drive our day-to-day operations and strategic business
direction. The loss of any of their services could have an adverse effect on our operations. Our ability to replace key individuals may
be difficult because of the limited number of individuals with the breadth of skills and experience needed to excel in the hotel
industry. There can be no assurance that we would be able to hire, train, retain or motivate such individuals.
Risks Related to the Hotel Industry
Our ability to make distributions to our shareholders may be affected by factors in the hotel industry that are beyond our control.
Operating Risks
Our hotels are subject to various operating risks found throughout the hotel industry. Many of these risks are beyond our control.
These include, among other things, the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
competitors with substantially greater marketing and financial resources than us;
over-building in our markets, which adversely affects occupancy and revenues at our hotels;
dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism;
terrorist incidents which may deter travel;
increases in hotel operating costs, energy costs, airline fares and other expenses, which may affect travel patterns and
reduce the number of business and commercial travelers and tourists; and
adverse effects of general, regional and local economic conditions.
These factors could adversely affect the amount of rent we receive from leasing our hotels and reduce the net operating profits
of TRS Lessee, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. Decreases in room revenues
of our hotels will result in reduced operating profits for TRS Lessee and decreased lease revenues to our company under our current
percentage leases with TRS Lessee.
Competition and Financing for Acquisitions
We compete for investment opportunities with entities that have substantially greater financial resources than we do. These
entities generally may be able to accept more risk than we can manage wisely. This competition may generally limit the number of
suitable investment opportunities offered to us. This competition may also increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking
to sell to us, making it more difficult for us to acquire new properties on attractive terms. Additionally, current economic conditions
present difficult challenges to obtaining financing for acquisitions.
Seasonality of Hotel Business
The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, occupancy rates, hotel revenues, and operating results are greater in the
second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters, with the exception of our hotels located in Florida. This seasonality can
be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our lease revenues. Our quarterly earnings may be adversely affected by factors outside
our control, including bad weather conditions and poor economic factors. As a result, we may have to enter into short-term borrowings
in our first and fourth quarters in order to offset these fluctuations in revenues.
12
Investment Concentration in Particular Segments of Single Industry
Our current investment strategy, adopted in 2009 as a response to near term and projected long term market trends, is to acquire
interests in well-located, upper midscale and upscale properties with premier flags in growing markets with populations in excess of
100,000, while divesting underperforming and/or non-branded hotels. Our entire business is hotel-related. Therefore, a downturn in
the hotel industry in general will have a material adverse effect on our lease revenues and amounts available for distribution to our
shareholders.
Capital Expenditures
Our hotels have an ongoing need for renovations and other capital improvements, including replacements, from time to time, of
furniture, fixtures and equipment. The franchisors of our hotels also require periodic capital improvements as a condition of keeping
the franchise licenses. The costs of all of these capital improvements could adversely affect our financial condition and reduce the
amounts available for distribution to our shareholders. These renovations may give rise to the following risks:
•
•
•
•
possible environmental problems;
construction cost overruns and delays;
a possible shortage of available cash to fund renovations and the related possibility that financing for these renovations
may not be available to us on affordable terms; and
uncertainties as to market demand or a loss of market demand after renovations have begun.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, we spent approximately $5.0 million for capital improvements to our hotels.
Recent economic trends, the military action in Afghanistan and Iraq and prospects for future terrorist acts and military action
have adversely affected the hotel industry generally, and similar future events could adversely affect the industry in the future.
Terrorist attacks and the after-effects (including the prospects for more terror attacks in the United States and abroad), combined
with economic trends and the U.S. led military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, substantially reduced business and leisure travel and
lodging industry RevPAR generally. We cannot predict the extent to which these factors will directly or indirectly impact your
investment in our common stock, the lodging industry or our operating results in the future. Declining RevPAR at our hotels would
reduce our net income and restrict our ability to fund capital improvements at our hotels and our ability to make distributions to
stockholders necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. Additional terrorist attacks, acts of war or similar events could have further
material adverse effects on the markets on which shares of our stock will trade, the lodging industry in general and our operations in
particular.
Uninsured and underinsured losses could adversely affect our operating results and our ability to make distributions to our
stockholders.
We intend to maintain comprehensive insurance on each of our hotel properties, including liability, fire and extended coverage,
of the type and amount we believe are customarily obtained for or by hotel owners. There are no assurances that current coverage will
continue to be available at reasonable rates. Various types of catastrophic losses, like earthquakes and floods, losses from foreign or
domestic terrorist activities, may not be insurable or may not be economically insurable. Initially, we do not expect to obtain terrorism
insurance on our hotel properties because it is costly. Lenders may require such insurance and our failure to obtain such insurance
could constitute a default under loan agreements. Depending on our access to capital, liquidity and the value of the properties securing
the affected loan in relation to the balance of the loan, a default could reduce our net income and limit our ability to obtain future
financing.
In the event of a substantial loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the full current market value or
replacement cost of our lost investment. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a
portion of the capital we have invested in a hotel, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the hotel. In that event, we might
nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. Inflation, changes in
building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors might also keep us from using insurance proceeds to
replace or renovate a hotel after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under those circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive
might be inadequate to restore our economic position on the damaged or destroyed property.
The hotel business is capital intensive, and our inability to obtain financing could limit our growth.
Our hotel properties will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. Acquisitions or
development of additional hotel properties will require significant capital expenditures. See our risk factors above concerning the
impact of the weakening economy on capital markets, the hotel industry and borrowing. The lenders under some of the mortgage debt
that we will assume will require us to set aside varying amounts each year for capital improvements at our hotels. We may not be able
to fund capital improvements or acquisitions solely from cash provided from our operating activities because we must distribute at
least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, each year to maintain our REIT tax status. Consequently, we rely
13
upon the availability of debt or equity capital to fund hotel acquisitions and improvements. As a result, our ability to fund capital
expenditures, acquisitions or hotel development through retained earnings is very limited. Our ability to grow through acquisitions or
development of hotels will be limited if we cannot obtain satisfactory debt or equity financing which will depend on market
conditions. Neither our charter nor our bylaws limits the amount of debt that we can incur. However, we cannot assure you that we
will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing or that we will be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms.
Noncompliance with governmental regulations could adversely affect our operating results.
Environmental Matters
Our hotel properties are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws. Under these laws, courts and government
agencies have the authority to require the owner of a contaminated property to clean up the property, even if the owner did not know
of or was not responsible for the contamination. These laws also apply to persons who owned a property at the time it became
contaminated. In addition to the costs of cleanup, contamination can affect the value of a property and, therefore, an owner’s ability to
borrow funds using the property as collateral.
Under these environmental laws, courts and government agencies also have the authority to require that a person who sent waste
to a waste disposal facility, like a landfill or an incinerator, pay for the clean-up of that facility if it becomes contaminated and
threatens human health or the environment. Furthermore, court decisions have established that third parties may recover damages for
injury caused by property contamination. For instance, a person exposed to asbestos while staying in a hotel may seek to recover
damages if he suffers injury from the asbestos. Lastly, some of these environmental laws restrict the use of a property or place
conditions on various activities at a property. One example is laws that require a business using chemicals to manage them carefully
and to notify local officials that the chemicals are being used.
Our company could be responsible for the costs discussed above if it found itself in one or more of these situations. The costs to
clean up a contaminated property, to defend against a claim, or to comply with environmental laws could be material and could affect
the funds available for distribution to our shareholders. To determine whether any costs of this nature might be required, we
commissioned Phase I environmental site assessments, or “ESAs” before we acquired our hotels, and in 2002, commissioned new
ESAs for 32 of our hotels in conjunction with a refinancing of the debt obligations of those hotels. These studies typically included a
review of historical information and a site visit, but not soil or groundwater testing. We obtained the ESAs to help us identify whether
we might be responsible for cleanup costs or other costs in connection with our hotels. The ESAs on our hotels did not reveal any
environmental conditions that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, results of operations or liquidity.
However, ESAs do not always identify all potential problems or environmental liabilities. Consequently, we may have material
environmental liabilities of which we are unaware.
Americans with Disabilities Act and Other Changes in Governmental Rules and Regulations
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all public accommodations must meet various federal requirements
related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and
non-compliance could result in the U.S. government imposing fines or in private litigants obtaining damages. If we were required to
make substantial modifications to our hotels, whether to comply with the ADA or other changes in governmental rules and
regulations, our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and meet our other obligations could be adversely affected.
General Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our
properties and harm our financial condition.
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more hotel properties or investments in
our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions may be limited. The real estate market is affected
by many factors that are beyond our control, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
adverse changes in international, national, regional and local economic and market conditions;
changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of debt financing;
changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related costs of compliance
with laws and regulations, fiscal policies and ordinances;
the ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older structures;
changes in operating expenses; and
civil unrest, acts of God, including earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters and acts of war or terrorism, including
the consequences of terrorist acts such as those that occurred on September 11, 2001, which may result in uninsured
losses.
14
We may decide to sell our hotel properties in the future. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any hotel property or
investment for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be
acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a hotel property
or loan.
We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a hotel property can be sold. We cannot
assure you that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements. In acquiring a hotel property, we
may agree to lock-out provisions that materially restrict us from selling that hotel property for a period of time or impose other
restrictions, such as limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that hotel property. These facts and any others
that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our hotel properties could have a material adverse
effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Our hotels may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating
the problem.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture
problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants.
Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing, as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and
symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold at any of our properties could require us
to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected property, which would reduce our cash
available for distribution, and we could face legal claims from guests. In addition, the presence of significant mold could expose us to
liability from our guests, employees or our management companies and others if property damage or health concerns arise.
Risks Related to our Organization and Structure
Our failure to qualify as a REIT under the federal tax laws would result in adverse tax consequences.
The federal income tax laws governing REITs are complex.
We currently operate as a REIT under the federal income tax laws. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex,
however, and interpretations of the federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT are limited. Accordingly, we cannot be
certain that we would be successful in operating so that we can qualify as a REIT. At any time, new laws, interpretations, or court
decisions may change the federal tax laws or the federal income tax consequences of our qualification as a REIT. We have not applied
for or obtained rulings from the Internal Revenue Service that we will qualify as a REIT.
Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject us to federal income tax.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income. We might
need to borrow money or sell assets in order to pay any such tax. If we cease to be a REIT, we no longer would be required to
distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain federal income tax laws, we
could not re-elect REIT status during the four calendar years after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT.
Failure to make required distributions would subject us to tax.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined
without regard to the dividends paid deduction, each year to our stockholders. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution
requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed taxable
income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a
calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under federal tax laws. As a result, for example, of differences between cash
flow and the accrual of income and expenses for tax purposes, or of nondeductible expenditures, our REIT taxable income in any
given year could exceed our cash available for distribution. In addition, to the extent we may retain earnings of TRS Lessee in those
subsidiaries, such amount of cash would not be available for distribution to our stockholders to satisfy the 90% distribution
requirement. Accordingly, we may be required to borrow money or sell assets to make distributions sufficient to enable us to pay out
enough of our taxable income to satisfy the distribution requirement and to avoid federal corporate income tax and the 4% non-
deductible excise tax in a particular year.
The formation of TRS Lessee increases our overall tax liability.
TRS Lessee is subject to federal and state income tax on its taxable income, which in the case of TRS Lessee currently consists
and generally will continue to consist of revenues from the hotel properties leased by TRS Lessee, net of the operating expenses for
such properties and rent payments to us. Accordingly, although our ownership of TRS Lessee allows us to participate in the operating
income from our hotel properties in addition to receiving rent, that operating income is fully subject to income tax. Such taxes could
be substantial. The after-tax net income of TRS Lessee is available for distribution to us.
15
We incur a 100% excise tax on transactions with TRS Lessee that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. For example, to
the extent that the rent paid by TRS Lessee exceeds an arm’s-length rental amount, such amount potentially is subject to the excise
tax. We intend that all transactions between us and TRS Lessee will continue to be conducted on an arm’s-length basis and, therefore,
that the rent paid by TRS Lessee to us will not be subject to the excise tax.
Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego attractive opportunities that could otherwise generate strong risk-
adjusted returns and instead pursue less attractive opportunities, or none at all.
To continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other
things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the
ownership of our stock. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of
generating strong risk-adjusted returns on invested capital for our stockholders.
Complying with REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments, which could result in an overall loss
on our investments.
To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must also ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter at least 75% of the value of our
assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified REIT real estate assets. The remainder of our investment in
securities (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In
addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) can
consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 20% of the value of our total securities can be represented by securities of
one or more TRSs. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct such failure within
30 days after the end of the calendar quarter to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. If we fail to
comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we may be able to preserve our REIT status by benefiting from
certain statutory relief provisions. Except with respect to a de minimis failure of the 5% asset test or the 10% vote or value test, we can
maintain our REIT status only if the failure was due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. In that case, we will be required to
dispose of the assets causing the failure within six months after the last day of the quarter in which we identified the failure, and we
will be required to pay an additional tax of the greater of $50,000 or the product of the highest applicable tax rate (currently 35%)
multiplied by the net income generated on those assets. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
Taxation of dividend income could make our common stock less attractive to investors and reduce the market price of our common
stock.
At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended.
Any of those new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or you as a stockholder.
Legislation enacted in 2003, 2006, and 2010 generally reduced the maximum rate of tax applicable to individuals, trusts and estates on
dividend income from regular C corporations to 15.0% through 2012. This reduced substantially the so-called “double taxation” (that
is, taxation at both the corporate and stockholder levels) that has generally applied to corporations that are not taxed as REITs.
Generally, dividends from REITs do not qualify for the dividend tax reduction because, as a result of the dividends paid deduction to
which REITs are entitled, REITs generally do not pay corporate level tax on income that they distribute to stockholders. As a result of
that legislation, individual, trust, and estate investors could view stocks of non-REIT corporations as more attractive relative to shares
of REITs than was the case previously because the dividends paid by non-REIT corporations are subject to lower tax rates for such
investors.
Provisions of our charter and substantial voting power held by a shareholder may limit the ability of a third party to acquire
control of our company.
In order to maintain our REIT qualification, no more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly
or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the federal income tax laws to include various kinds of entities) during the last
half of any taxable year. Our articles of incorporation contain the ownership limitation, which prohibits both direct and indirect
ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock or 9.9% of any series of our preferred stock by any
person, subject to several exceptions. Generally, any shares of our capital stock owned by affiliated owners will be added together for
purposes of the ownership limitation.
Our articles of incorporation permit our board, in its sole discretion, to exempt a person from the 9.9% ownership limitation if
the person provides representations and undertakings that enable our board to determine that granting the exemption would not result
in the loss of our REIT qualification. Under the Internal Revenue Service rules, REIT shares owned by certain entities are considered
owned proportionately by owners of the entities for REIT qualification purposes. Real Estate Strategies L.P. (“RES”) provided a letter
at the time of the issuance of the Series C preferred stock and warrants with representations and undertakings that permitted our board
to grant such an exemption, including a representation that no individual will own 9.9% or more of any class of our stock as a result of
the acquisition of the Series C preferred stock and warrants. The stock ownership by RES, which was permitted with our board’s
16
approval, represents 34% of the voting power of the our stock entitled to vote and such substantial voting power may limit the ability
of a third party to acquire control of our company.
These ownership limitations may prevent an acquisition of control of our company by a third party without our board of
directors’ approval, even if our stockholders believe the change of control is in their best interests. Our charter authorizes our board of
directors to issue shares of common stock and shares of preferred stock, and to set the preferences, rights and other terms of the
preferred stock. Furthermore, our board of directors may, without any action by the stockholders, amend our charter from time to time
to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock of any class or series of preferred stock that we have authority to issue.
Issuances of additional shares of stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control of
our company that might involve a premium to the market price of our common stock or otherwise be in our stockholders’ best
interests.
Our ownership limitation may prevent you from engaging in certain transfers of our capital stock.
If anyone transfers shares in a way that would violate the ownership limitation described above or prevent us from continuing to
qualify as a REIT under the federal income tax laws, we will consider the transfer to be null and void from the outset, and the intended
transferee of those shares will be deemed never to have owned the shares. Those shares instead will be transferred to a trust for the
benefit of a charitable beneficiary and will be either redeemed by our company or sold to a person whose ownership of the shares will
not violate the ownership limitation. Anyone who acquires shares in violation of the ownership limitation or the other restrictions on
transfer in our articles of incorporation bears the risk that he will suffer a financial loss when the shares are redeemed or sold if the
market price of our stock falls between the date of purchase and the date of redemption or sale.
We may be subject to the 100% prohibited transaction tax on the gain recognized on the hotels we sold.
A REIT will incur a 100% tax on the net income derived from any sale or other disposition of property that the REIT holds
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. We undertook specific disposition programs beginning in
2001 (that included the sale of 23 hotels through December 31, 2004) and 2008 (that included the sale of 25 hotels through
December 31, 2011). We held the disposed hotels for an average period of 8.7 years and did not acquire the hotels for purposes of
resale. Accordingly, we do not believe any of those hotels were held primarily for sale in the ordinary course of our trade or business.
However, if the Internal Revenue Service would successfully assert that we held such hotels primarily for sale in the ordinary course
of our business, the gain from such sales could be subject to a 100% prohibited transaction tax.
The ability of our board of directors to change our major corporate policies may not be in your interest.
Our board of directors determines our major corporate policies, including our acquisition, financing, growth, operations and
distribution policies. Our board may amend or revise these and other policies from time to time without the vote or consent of our
stockholders.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock for
the period December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2011, with the cumulative total return on the SNL securities Hotel REIT Index
(“Hotel REITs Index”) and the NASDAQ Composite (“NASDAQ—Total US Index”) for the same period. The Hotel REITs Index is
comprised of publicly traded REITs that focus on investments in hotel properties. The NASDAQ Composite is comprised of all
United States common shares traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (previously titled NASDAQ—Total US). The comparison
assumes a starting investment of $100 on December 31, 2006 in our common stock and in each of the indices shown, and assumes that
all dividends are reinvested. The performance graph is not necessarily indicative of future investment performance.

(1) Revenues for all periods exclude revenues from hotels sold or classified as held for sale, which are classified in discontinued
operations in the statements of operations.
(2) Hotel revenues include room and other revenues from the operations of the hotels.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (“GAAP”). We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net earnings (loss) available to
common shareholders certain non-operating expenses and non-cash charges which are based on historical cost accounting and
we believe may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance. We believe these adjustments can help eliminate
the accounting effects of depreciation and amortization and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating
profitability between periods, even though Adjusted EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrues directly to
common shareholders. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we also add back preferred stock dividends and noncontrolling
interests, which are cash charges.
Adjusted EBITDA doesn’t represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by
GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity, nor is Adjusted EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our
cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Neither does the measurement reflect cash expenditures for long-
term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available
for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property
acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these
excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted
EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
(4) FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We consider FFO to be a market accepted measure of an equity REIT’s operating
performance, which is necessary, along with net earnings (loss), for an understanding of our operating results. FFO, as defined
under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) standards, consists of net income computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real
estate assets. Additionally, in October and November 2011, NAREIT issued guidance reaffirming its view that impairment
write-downs of depreciable real estate should be excluded from the computation of FFO. We believe our method of calculating
FFO complies with the NAREIT definition. FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use
because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our
liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make
distributions. All REITs do not calculate FFO in the same manner; therefore, our calculation may not be the same as the
calculation of FFO for similar REITs.
23
We use FFO as a performance measure to facilitate a periodic evaluation of our operating results relative to those of our peers,
who, like us, are typically members of NAREIT. We consider FFO a meaningful additional measure of performance for an
equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real
estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since
real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides a meaningful indication
of our performance.
(5) Represents dividends declared by us. The 2008 fourth quarter dividend of $0.08 was paid in February 2009, and was reported as
a component of 2009 dividend payments for income tax purposes (representing $0.053 capital gain distribution and $0.027
nondividend distribution).
(6) The conversion rights of the Series A preferred stock were cancelled as of February 20, 2009.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information both included and incorporated by reference in this management’s discussion and analysis and other
sections of this Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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. These forward-looking
statements are based on assumptions that management has made in light of experience in the business in which we operate, as well as
management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be
appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties
(some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations
are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or
“project” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Factors which could have a material adverse
effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: economic conditions generally and the real
estate market specifically, legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment
trusts), availability of capital, risks associated with debt financing, interest rates, competition, supply and demand for hotel rooms in
our current and proposed market areas, policies and guidelines applicable to real estate investment trusts and other risks and
uncertainties described herein, and in our filings with the SEC from time to time. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in
evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein. We caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this report which speak only as of the date of this report.
Overview
We are a self-administered REIT, and through our subsidiaries, we owned 100 limited service hotels in 23 states at
December 31, 2011. Our hotels operate under several national franchise and independent brands.
Our significant events for 2011 include:
• We sold six hotels for gross proceeds of $11.8 million and used the net proceeds primarily to pay off the underlying mortgages;
• Non cash impairment charges of $14.3 million were booked against hotels sold, held for sale, and held for use;
• As of December 31, 2011, we had 24 hotels classified as held for sale with a total net book value of $33.0 million. Gross
proceeds from the sales are expected to be $42.7 million, and net proceeds will be used to pay off the underlying mortgages with
remaining cash used for operations;
• We entered into an agreement in November 2011 for the sale of Series C preferred stock to Real Estate Strategies, L.P. for $30
million, which was completed in February 2012; and
• On December 9, 2011, we amended our credit facilities with Great Western Bank and subsequently extended the maturity dates
to June 30, 2013.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 24 hotels classified as held for sale. At the beginning of 2011, the Company had 18
hotels held for sale and during the year classified an additional nineteen hotels as held for sale. Six of these hotels were sold during
2011, and seven of the hotels were reclassified as held for use due to changes in the property’s market condition. Since our previously
filed financial statements on Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2011, in addition to the six hotels reclassified as held for use, eleven
hotels were reclassified as held for sale. The impact of these changes was to increase losses from continuing operations by $0.2
million and $0.6 million for the years ended 2010 and 2009, respectively, compared to the previously filed financial statements.
24
We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned
by our operating partnerships, Supertel Limited Partnership and E&P Financing Limited Partnership, limited partnerships, limited
liability companies or other subsidiaries of our operating partnerships. We currently own, indirectly, an approximate 99% general
partnership interest in Supertel Limited Partnership and a 100% partnership interest in E&P Financing Limited Partnership.
The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and
results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, and should be read along with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes.

For fiscal 2011, property operating income (“POI”) from continuing operations decreased $0.5 million, or 2.8 percent, compared
to fiscal 2010. The decrease in POI over the prior year is largely due to higher operating expenses.
26
POI from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, was $2.6 million and $3.6 million,
respectively, representing a decrease of $1.0 million over the prior year’s results.
Net operating income (“NOI”) for fiscal 2011 was $31.4 million, a decrease from $33.9 million for fiscal 2010. The decrease is
largely due to decreased operating results from discontinued operations.
Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, POI and NOI are non-GAAP financial measures of performance that the Company believes are helpful
to its investors. A reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA and FFO is provided in the notes in Item 6 Selected Financial Data, and a
reconciliation for POI and NOI is provided below.
Net Operating Income
NOI is one of the performance indicators the Company uses to assess and measure operating results. The Company believes that
NOI is a useful additional measure of operating performance of its hotels because it provides a measure of core operations that is
unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing and general and administrative expense. NOI is also an important performance
measure used to determine the amount of the management fees paid by the Company to the operators of its hotels.
NOI is a non-GAAP measure, and is not necessarily indicative of available earnings and should not be considered an alternative
to Earnings Before Net Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Assets, Other Income, Interest Expense and Income Taxes. NOI is reconciled
to Earnings Before Net Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Assets, Other Income, Interest Expense and Income Taxes as follows (in

Property Operating Income
POI is a non-GAAP financial measure, and should not be considered as an alternative to loss from continuing operations or loss
from discontinued operations, net of tax. The Company believes that the presentation of hotel property operating results (POI) is
helpful to investors, and represents a more useful description of its core operations, as it better communicates the comparability of its
hotels’ operating results for all of the company’s hotel properties.

Revenues and Operating Expenses
Loss from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $(10.9) million, compared to loss from
continuing operations of $(5.6) million for 2010. After recognition of discontinued operations, noncontrolling interests and dividends
for preferred stock shareholders, the net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(18.9) million or $(0.82) per diluted share, for
the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $(12.1) million or $(0.53) per diluted
share for 2010.
During 2011 revenues from continuing operations were essentially flat at $75.8 million.
We refer to our entire portfolio as limited service hotels, which we further describe as midscale hotels, economy hotels and
extended stay hotels. The same store portfolio used for comparison of the twelve months ending 2011 over the same period of 2010
consists of the 76 hotels in continuing operations that were owned by the company as of January 1, 2010. The Company’s 40 same-
store economy hotels reflected a 1.1 percent increase in RevPAR to $31.13 in 2011 with a 2.7 percent decrease in occupancy to 62.2
percent and an increase in ADR of 3.8 percent. The Company’s 29 same-store midscale hotels experienced a 1.0 percent increase in
RevPAR. Occupancy declined 2.6 percent and ADR was up 3.9 percent to $67.49. The extended stay hotels are economy hotels with
significantly lower ADR and RevPAR than other limited service hotels. RevPAR for the seven same-store extended stay hotels was
down 1.6 percent from the prior year to $17.14. Occupancy dropped 4.0 percent, and ADR increased 2.5 percent to $23.79. The total
same-store portfolio of 76 hotels for the year ended 2011, compared with the prior year, had a 0.9 percent rise in RevPAR with a 2.9
percent decrease in occupancy, and a 3.8 percent increase in ADR. Overall the Company experienced a slight increase in RevPAR,
however, the company did not experience the full benefit of the improvement in economic conditions in 2011.
Hotel and property operations expenses from continuing operations for the year ended 2011 increased $1.0 million or 1.8
percent. The increase was primarily driven by the following: $0.4 million was payroll related; $0.2 million was from increased utilities
costs; and $0.2 million resulted from increased brand breakfast requirements. With marginal increases in revenue and decreased
occupancy, the general increase in hotel expenses is attributed to the transition to new management companies.
Interest Expense, Depreciation and Amortization Expense and General and Administration Expense
Interest expense from continuing operations decreased by $0.2 million, due primarily to declining principal balances. The
depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations decreased $1.1 million for 2011 over 2010, which was primarily
caused by furniture, fixtures and equipment from acquisitions becoming fully depreciated. The general and administration expense
from continuing operations for 2011 is up $0.6 million or 16.4 percent compared to 2010. The primary drivers for this increase are an
increase in salaries and wages due to additional employees and increased legal fees due to management company changes and release
of costs associated with discontinued equity programs.
Impairment Losses
In 2011 we had $8.5 million of impairment losses in continuing operations and $5.8 million of impairment losses in
discontinued operations for the year. In 2010 we had $2.1 million of impairment losses in continuing operations and $6.1 million of
impairment losses in discontinued operations for the year. Discontinued operations consist of hotels held for sale at December 31,
2011 or sold during 2010 or 2011. See Note 6 in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information
including a discussion of our impairment analysis of our hotel assets.

In 2011 the $1.2 million variance in net gains (losses) on dispositions of assets is primarily related to the sale of the corporate
office building. The $0.3 million in discontinued operations is due mainly to the gain on the sale of Wichita North. In 2010,
discontinued operations reflected a $1.3 million gain on the disposition of assets. Of this, net gains of $1.4 million are attributable to
properties that have been sold; while $0.1 million of net losses on the sale of assets are attributable to assets held for sale.
29
Income Tax Benefit
The income tax benefit from continuing operations is related to the taxable loss from our taxable REIT subsidiary, the TRS
Lessee. Management believes the federal and state income tax rate for the TRS Lessee will be approximately 38%. The tax benefit is a
result of TRS Lessee’s losses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The income tax benefit will vary based on the taxable
earnings or loss of the TRS Lessee, a C corporation.
The income tax benefit from continuing operations increased by approximately $0.2 million during 2011 compared to the year
ago period, due to an increased loss from continuing operations by the TRS Lessee in 2011.

Revenues and Operating Expenses
Loss from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 reflected $(5.6) million, compared to net loss
of $(11.6) million for 2009. After recognition of discontinued operations, noncontrolling interest and dividends for preferred stock
shareholders, the net loss attributable to common shareholders reflected $(12.1) million or $(0.53) per diluted share, for the year ended
December 31, 2010, compared to $(28.9) million or $(1.33) per diluted share for 2009.
During 2010 revenues from continuing operations increased $2.8 million or 3.9 percent. This increase is primarily due to the
economic recovery. The same store portfolio used for comparison of the twelve months ending 2010 over the same period of 2009
consists of 76 hotels in continuing operations that were owned by the company as of January 1, 2009. The Company’s 40 same-store
economy hotels posted a 1.4 percent increase in RevPAR to $30.79 in 2010 with a 4.6 percent increase in occupancy to 63.9 percent,
and a 3.0 percent decrease in ADR from $49.68 to $48.20. The Company’s 29 same-store midscale hotels had a 5.0 percent increase in
RevPAR and a 9.8 percent increase in occupancy. ADR was $64.98, down 4.3 percent from 2009. The extended stay hotels are
economy hotels with significantly lower ADR and RevPAR than other limited service hotels. RevPAR for the seven same store
extended stay hotels was up 12.1 percent from the prior year to $17.41. Occupancy was up 18.5 percent, and ADR decreased 5.3
percent to $23.21. The total same-store portfolio of 76 hotels for the year ended 2010, compared with the prior year, had a 3.9 percent
increase in RevPAR and an 8.8 percent increase in occupancy. ADR was down 4.5 percent from the prior year.
Hotel and property operations expenses from continuing operations for the year ended 2010 increased $3.0 million or 5.6
percent. The increase in occupancy was responsible for the majority of the variance, with franchise related fees up $0.8 million,
payroll related expenses up $1.0 million, utilities costs up $0.4 million, supplies expense up $0.4 million, and management fees up
$0.1 million in relation to the increased revenue.
Interest Expense, Depreciation and Amortization Expense and General and Administration Expense
Interest expense from continuing operations increased slightly to $8.9 million. The depreciation and amortization expense from
continuing operations decreased $0.5 million for 2010 over 2009. The general and administration expense from continuing operations
for 2010 was down $0.4 million or 9.7 percent compared to 2009. The primary driver for this decrease is a reduction in salaries and
wages caused by management changes and retirement, partially offset by an increase in professional fees.
30
Impairment Losses
See the discussion above regarding impairment charges for 2010. For 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $7.4 million
on hotels in continuing operations, and $16.7 million on hotels in discontinued operations, twelve of which were subsequently sold.
Dispositions
In 2010 we recognized net losses from continuing operations of approximately $0.1 on the disposition of furniture, fixtures, and
equipment in the normal course of operations. Discontinued operations in 2010 included gains of $1.4 million on properties sold in
2010, offset by $0.1 million of net losses on assets held for sale. Discontinued operations in 2009 included gains of $2.4 million
primarily as a result of the sale of two properties.
Income Tax Benefit
The income tax benefit from continuing operations is related to the taxable loss from our taxable REIT subsidiary, the TRS
Lessee. Management believes the federal and state income tax rate for the TRS Lessee will be approximately 38%. The tax benefit is a
result of TRS Lessee’s losses for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The income tax benefit will vary based on the taxable
earnings of the TRS Lessee, a C corporation.
The income tax benefit from continuing operations increased by approximately $0.2 million during 2010 compared to the prior
period, due to an increased loss from continuing operations by the TRS Lessee in 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our income and ability to meet our debt service obligations, and make distributions to our shareholders, depends upon the
operations of the hotels being conducted in a manner that maintains or increases revenue, or reduces expenses, to generate sufficient
hotel operating income for TRS Lessee to pay the hotels’ operating expenses, including management fees and rents to us. We depend
on rent payments from TRS Lessee to pay our operating expenses and debt service and to make distributions to shareholders.
The Company’s operating performance, as well as its liquidity position, has been and continues to be negatively affected by
recent economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The Company anticipates that these adverse economic conditions
may improve somewhat over the next year; however, in addition to our operating performance, the other sources described below will
be essential to our liquidity and financial position.
Our business requires continued access to adequate capital to fund our liquidity needs. In 2011 and 2010, the Company
reviewed its entire portfolio, identified properties considered non-core and developed timetables for disposal of those assets deemed
non-core. We focused on improving our liquidity through cash generating asset sales and disposition of assets that are not generating
cash at levels consistent with our investment principles. In 2012, our foremost priorities continue to be preserving and generating
capital sufficient to fund our liquidity needs. Given the deterioration and uncertainty in the economy and financial markets,
management believes that access to conventional sources of capital will be challenging and management has planned accordingly. We
are also working to proactively address challenges to our short-term and long-term liquidity position.
The following are the expected actual and potential sources of liquidity, which if realized we currently believe will be sufficient
to fund our near-term obligations:
• Cash and cash equivalents;
• Cash generated from operations;
Proceeds from asset dispositions;
•
Proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt financings; and/or
Proceeds from public or private issuances of debt or equity securities.
•
•
The Company has significant indebtedness maturing over the next year, including a $29.4 million balance on a loan with
Greenwich Capital maturing in December 2012. If we are not successful in negotiating the refinancing of this debt or any other
maturing debt, or finding alternate sources of financing in a difficult borrowing environment, we will be unable to meet the
Company’s near-term liquidity requirements.
These above sources are essential to our liquidity and financial position, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to
successfully access them (particularly in the current economic environment). If we are unable to generate cash from these sources, we
may have liquidity-related capital shortfalls and will be exposed to default risks. The significant issues with access to the liquidity
sources identified above could lead to our insolvency.
31
In the near-term, the Company’s cash flow from operations is not projected to be sufficient to meet all of our liquidity needs. In
response, management has identified non-core assets in our portfolio to be liquidated over a one to ten year period. Among the criteria
for determining properties to be sold was the potential upside when hotel fundamentals return to stabilized levels. The properties held
for sale as of December 31, 2011 were determined to be less likely to participate in increased cash flow levels when markets do
improve. As such, we expect these dispositions to help us (1) preserve cash, through potential disposition of properties with current or
projected negative cash flow and/or other potential near-term cash outlay requirements (including debt maturities) and (2) generate
cash, through the potential disposition of strategically identified non-core assets that we believe have equity value above debt.
We are actively marketing the 24 properties held for sale, which we anticipate will result in the elimination of $34.5 million of
debt and generate an expected $4.9 million of proceeds for operations. We continue to have interest from potential buyers in our 24
held for sale properties. The marketing process has been affected by deteriorating economic conditions and we have experienced some
decreases in expected pricing. If this trend continues to worsen, we may be unable to complete the disposition of identified properties
in a manner that would generate cash flow in line with management’s estimates as noted above. Our ability to dispose of these assets
is impacted by a number of factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, availability
of financing and interest rates. In light of the current economic conditions, we cannot predict:
• whether we will be able to find buyers for identified assets at prices and/or other terms acceptable to us;
• whether potential buyers will be able to secure financing; and
•
the length of time needed to find a buyer and to close the sale of a property.
As our debt matures, our principal payment obligations also present significant future cash requirements. We expect lenders will
continue to maintain tight lending standards, which could make it more difficult for us to obtain future credit facilities on terms similar
to the terms of our current credit facilities or to obtain long-term financing on favorable terms or at all.
We may not be able to successfully extend, refinance or repay our debt due to a number of factors, including decreased property
valuations, limited availability of credit, tightened lending standards and deteriorating economic conditions. Historically, extending or
refinancing loans has required the payment of certain fees to, and expenses of, the applicable lenders. Any future extensions or
refinancing will likely require increased fees due to tightened lending practices. These fees and cash flow restrictions will affect our
ability to fund other liquidity uses. In addition, the terms of the extensions or refinancing may include operational and financial
covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants.
The Company is required to meet various financial covenants required by its existing lenders. If the Company’s future financial
performance fails to meet these financial covenants, then its lenders also have the ability to take control of its encumbered hotel assets.
Defaults with lenders due to failure to repay or refinance debt when due or failure to comply with financial covenants could also result
in defaults under our credit facilities with Great Western Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation. Our Great Western Bank and
General Electric Capital Corporation credit facilities contain cross-default provisions which would allow Great Western Bank and
General Electric Capital Corporation to declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans, and
such default would permit that lender to accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan. If this were to happen, whether due to
failure to repay or refinance debt when due or failure to comply with financial covenants, the Company’s ability to conduct business
could be severely impacted as there can be no assurance that the adequacy and timeliness of cash flow would be available to meet the
Company’s liquidity requirements.
The Company did not declare a common stock dividend during 2011. The Company will monitor requirements to maintain its
REIT status and will routinely evaluate the dividend policy. The Company intends to continue to meet its dividend requirements to
retain its REIT status.
Sources and Uses of Cash
At December 31, 2011, available cash was $0.3 million and the Company’s available borrowing capacity on the Great Western
Bank revolver was $2 million. The Company projected that at December 31, 2011 cash flows from operations and the available
borrowing capacity from the revolver would be insufficient to meet both short term and long term liquidity requirements. As a
consequence, in November 2011 the Company entered into an agreement to sell 3.0 million shares of Series C preferred stock and
obtained a $5 million revolving credit facility from Elkhorn Valley Bank to fund the Company until the closing of the Series C
preferred stock sale.
Short term outflows include monthly operating expenses, $0.2 million of termination fees to Royco Hotels, estimated annual
debt service of $15.0 million and payment of dividends on Series A and Series B preferred stock. Our long-term liquidity requirements
consist primarily of the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties, renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that
need to be made periodically with respect to hotel properties and $76.7 million of scheduled debt repayments.
We have budgeted to increase our spending on capital improvements from $5 million in 2011 to $7 million on our existing
hotels during 2012. The increase in capital expenditures is a result of complying with brand mandated improvements and initiating
projects that we believe will generate a return on investment as we enter a period of recovery in the lodging sector. We will seek to
32
satisfy these long-term liquidity requirements through the various sources of capital identified above, including the recently issued
Series C preferred stock and net proceeds on sales of non performing hotels.
We completed a private offering of 3.0 million shares of Series C preferred stock in February 2012. Net proceeds of the
offering, less expenses, were approximately $28.7 million. $7.1 million of the net proceeds were used to repay a $2.1 million
promissory note and to repay the $5 million revolving credit facility with Elkhorn Valley Bank. The remaining net proceeds from the
offering will be used to acquire upper midscale and upscale hotels and to meet our long term liquidity requirements. In addition,
management has identified non-core assets in our portfolio to be liquidated over a one to ten year period. We project that proceeds
from anticipated property sales during 2012, net of expenses and debt repayment, of $4.9 million will be available for the Company’s
cash needs.
We project that our operating cash flow, revolving credit facility and the sources identified above will be sufficient to satisfy all
of our liquidity and other capital needs over the next twelve to eighteen months.
Financing
On March 29, 2011, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with JMP Securities LLC (“JMP”) pursuant to which we
may offer and sell up to 2.0 million shares of common stock from time to time through JMP. Sales of shares of the Company common
stock, if any, under the agreement may be made in negotiated transactions or other transactions that are deemed to be “at the market”
offerings, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Market or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an

On March 26, 2010, we entered into a standby equity distribution agreement with YA Global Master SPV Ltd., or YA Global,
for the offer and sale of up to $10 million of shares of our common stock at a price per share determined in accordance with the

On November 16, 2011, the Company and Supertel Limited Partnership entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with Real Estate Strategies L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership (“RES”), for the purchase from the Company of up to
3,000,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C preferred stock”). RES is an affiliate of IRSA
Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima, a publicly-traded company (NYSE: “IRS”) based in Buenos Aires, Argentina
(“IRSA”). On January 31, 2012 at a special meeting, the shareholders of the Company, by the requisite vote, approved the issuance
and sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Series C preferred stock, up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which
may be issued upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock, and warrants to purchase up to an additional 30,000,000 shares of
common stock, to RES pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Series C
preferred stock to RES for $30 million in closings on February 1 and February 15, 2012.
Each share of Series C preferred stock is entitled to a dividend of $0.625 per year payable in equal quarterly dividends. Each
share of Series C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share, in cash, plus an amount equal to any accrued and
unpaid dividends.
The Series C preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into common stock at a conversion price of
$1.00 for each share of common stock, which is equal to the rate of ten shares of common stock for each share of Series C preferred
stock. A holder of Series C preferred stock will not have conversion rights to the extent the conversion would cause the holder and its
affiliates to beneficially own more than 34% of voting stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). “Voting stock” means capital
stock having the power to vote generally for the election of directors of the Company.
The Series C preferred stock will vote with the common stock as one class, subject to certain voting limitations. For any vote,
the voting power of the Series C preferred stock will be equal to the lesser of: (a) 6.29 votes per share, or (b) an amount of votes per
share such that the vote of all shares of Series C preferred stock in the aggregate equal 34% of the combined voting power of all the
Company voting stock, minus an amount equal to the number of votes represented by the other shares of voting stock beneficially
owned by RES and its affiliates (the “Voting Limitation”).
As long as RES has the right to designate two or more directors to the Company Board of Directors pursuant to the Directors
Designation Agreement (described below), the following requires the approval of RES and IRSA:
•
•
the merger, consolidation, liquidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company;
the sale by the Company of common stock or securities convertible into common stock equal to 20% or more of
the outstanding common stock or voting stock; or
33
•
any Company transaction of more than $120,000 in which any of its directors or executive officers or any member
of their immediate family will have a material interest, exclusive of employment compensation and interests
arising solely from the ownership of the Company equity securities if all holders of that class of equity securities
receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis.
On February 1, 2012 and February 15, 2012, in connection with the purchase of the Series C preferred stock, the Company
issued and RES received warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Warrants are exercisable at any time on or before January 31, 2017 at an exercise price of $1.20
per share of common stock. The exercise price may be paid in cash, or the holder may also elect to pay the exercise price by having
the Company withhold a sufficient number of shares from the exercise with a market value equal to the exercise price.
The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered into an Investor Rights and Conversion
Agreement (the “Investor Rights and Conversion Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA pursuant to which the
Company granted RES and its affiliates and their respective subsidiaries, among other rights, the right to purchase equity shares or
securities convertible into equity shares in future Company offerings on a pro rata basis based on their combined ownership of
common stock and Series C preferred stock, provided that such purchase would not cause RES and its affiliates to exceed the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In the agreement, RES agreed to certain standstill provisions including that neither RES nor its
affiliates will acquire any securities that would result in RES and its affiliates owning more than 34% of the voting stock of the
Company.
The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered into a registration rights agreement (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA. The Registration Rights Agreement requires the
Company to register for resale by the holders the common stock issued upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock and upon
exercise of the Warrants, and the Warrants and the Series C preferred stock. The Registration Rights Agreement also grants RES the
right to participate in certain future underwritten offerings of securities by the Company.
The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered into a directors designation agreement (the
“Directors Designation Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA pursuant to which the Company will appoint up to
four directors designated by RES and IRSA to the Company Board of Directors and to maintain the Company Board of Directors at no
more than nine members. Messrs. Elsztain, Friend, Landry, and Sabin have been appointed to the Board of Directors pursuant to the
agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement, RES agreed to vote for the election of the current Board of Directors who remain on the Board of
Directors and their successors as nominated by the nominating committee of the Board of Directors. One of the directors designated
by RES will be appointed to the nominating committee. As long as RES beneficially owns 7% or more of the voting power of the
capital stock of the Company, the RES designees will be nominated and recommended for election at each annual meeting of the
Company shareholders.
At December 31, 2011, we had long-term debt of $131.3 million associated with assets held for use, consisting of notes and
mortgages payable, with a weighted average term to maturity of 3.5 years and a weighted average interest rate of 6.37%. The weighted
average fixed rate was 6.9%, and the weighted average variable rate was 4.7%. Debt held on properties in continuing operations is
classified as held for use. Debt is classified as held for sale if the properties collateralizing it are included in discontinued operations.
Debt associated with assets held for sale is classified as a short-term liability due within the next year irrespective of whether the notes
and mortgages evidencing such debt mature within the next year. Aggregate annual principal payments on debt associated with assets
held for use for the next five years and thereafter, and debt associated with assets held for sale, are as follows (in thousands):

evidencing such debt. The remaining $15.1 million is associated with assets held for sale and is not contractually due in 2012 unless
the related assets are sold. The maturities comprising the $76.7 million consist of:

term loans and the revolver with Great Western Bank were extended to June 30, 2013. In February 2012, the $5 million balance on the
revolving credit facility with Elkhorn Valley Bank ($3.0 million at December 31, 2011) and the $2.1 million note payable to
Fredericksburg North Investors, LLC were paid off using a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Series C preferred stock.
Both of the properties which were encumbered by these loans were held for sale as of December 31, 2011. The $1.1 million note
payable to General Electric Capital Corporation is expected to be paid with available funds at the end of 2012.
The $29.4 million balance of the loan with Greenwich Capital matures in December 2012. The loan is secured by 32 hotels. The
Company intends to break up the portfolio into several tranches and secure financing with several local and/or regional banks. The
process to identify lenders began in March 2012.
On March 29, 2012, our credit facilities with General Electric Capital Corporation (GE) were amended to, among other things,
require a principal prepayment of $7 million on or before December 31, 2012. This debt is expected to be funded from the proceeds of
refinancing our hotels secured by Greenwich Capital.

Company directors. The credit facility matures on June 1, 2012 and bears interest at 5.75%.
On November 16, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for the issuance and sale of $30 million of convertible

The Great Western Bank credit facilities also require maintenance of consolidated and loan-specific loan to value ratios that do
not exceed 70%, tested annually commencing on December 31, 2012, and that we not pay dividends in excess of 75% of our funds
from operations per year. The consolidated and loan-specific debt service coverage ratios for the credit facilities remain at 0.9 to 1,
37
tested quarterly, through June 29, 2012. The consolidated debt service coverage ratio increases to 1.05 to 1, tested quarterly, from
June 30, 2012 through the maturity of the credit facilities. The loan-specific debt service coverage ratio increases to 1.05 to 1, tested
quarterly, from June 30, 2012 through December 30, 2012 and 1.20 to 1, tested quarterly, from December 31, 2012 through the
maturity of the credit facilities.
The credit facilities with Great Western Bank currently consist of a $12.5 million revolving credit facility and term loans of $14
million, $10 million and $7.5 million. All loans under the credit facilities mature on June 30, 2013. The interest rate on the revolving
credit portion of the credit facilities is 5.95% and the interest rate on the term loan portion of the credit facilities is 6.00%.
The credit facilities provide for $12.5 million of availability under the revolving credit facility through June 30, 2012, after
which the loans available to us through the revolving credit facility and term loans may not exceed the lesser of (a) an amount equal to
70% of the total appraised value of the hotels securing the credit facilities and (b) an amount that would result in a loan-specific debt
service coverage ratio of less than 1.05 to 1 from July 1, 2012 through December 30, 2012 and 1.20 to 1 from December 31, 2012
through the maturity of the credit facilities. The credit facilities require a $500,000 reduction in the availability of the revolving credit
facility by September 30, 2012 and an additional $500,000 reduction by December 31, 2012.

On March 29, 2012, our credit facilities with General Electric Capital Corporation (GE) were amended to replace existing
financial covenant requirements with new financial covenant requirements. The new financial covenants require that, through the term
of the loans, we maintain: (a) a minimum before dividend fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) with respect to our GE-encumbered
properties (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 0.85:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly thereafter to
1.30:1 as of December 31, 2015; (b) a maximum loan to value ratio with respect to our GE-encumbered properties of 100% as of
March 31, 2012, which requirement decreases quarterly thereafter to 60% as of December 31, 2015; (c) a minimum before dividend
consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 0.95:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly
thereafter to 1.30:1 as of December 31, 2014; and (d) a minimum after dividend consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-month
period) of 0.75:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly thereafter to 1.00:1 as of December 31, 2013.
The GE amendment, among other things, also: (a) shortens the maturity date of the loans secured by the Masters Inn hotels and
Savannah Suites hotels to December 31, 2014; (b) requires a principal prepayment of $7 million on or before December 31, 2012; (c)
provides that the previous increases to the interest rates on the loans will remain in effect and will not be reduced in the future if we
achieve a particular FCCR; (d) adds cross-default provisions with our other material debt and most favored lender provisions; and (e)
implements restrictions on the prepayment of other debt.
38
In May 2008, we converted the interest rates on certain of our GE loans to fixed rates. Because interest rates have since
decreased, there are yield maintenance costs associated with prepayments of those loans. The yield maintenance cost associated with
the most recent Masters Inn sale was 16.5% of the amount prepaid. The GE amendment implements fixed prepayment fees on the
loans secured by the Masters Inn hotels and Savannah Suites hotels (in lieu of the yield maintenance costs) which start at 2.5% of the
amount prepaid in 2012 and increase over time up to 10% of the amount prepaid.
If we fail to pay our indebtedness when due, fail to comply with covenants or otherwise default on our loans, unless waived, we
could incur higher interest rates during the period of such loan defaults, be required to immediately pay our indebtedness and
ultimately lose our hotels through lender foreclosure if we are unable to obtain alternative sources of financing with acceptable terms.
Our Great Western Bank and GE credit facilities contain cross-default provisions which would allow Great Western Bank and GE to
declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans, and such default would permit that lender to
accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan. We are not in default of any of our loans.

Additionally, the company sold its corporate office building for $1.75 million. In 2010 a total of nine hotels with 675 rooms
were sold for $11.65 million. In 2009 we sold eight hotels with 674 rooms for approximately $17.2 million. Sale proceeds were
primarily used to reduce debt.
Redemption of Preferred Operating Partnership Units
We own, through our subsidiary, Supertel Hospitality REIT Trust, an approximate 99% general partnership interest in Supertel
Limited Partnership, through which we own 45 of our hotels. We are the sole general partner of the limited partnership, and the
remaining approximate 1% is held by limited partners who transferred property interests to us in return for limited partnership
interests in Supertel Limited Partnership. These limited partners hold, as of December 31, 2011, 97,008 common operating partnership
units and 11,424 preferred operating partnership units. Each limited partner of Supertel Limited Partnership may, subject to certain
limitations, require that Supertel Limited Partnership redeem all or a portion of his or her common or preferred units, at any time after
a specified period following the date he or she acquired the units, by delivering a redemption notice to Supertel Limited Partnership.
When a limited partner tenders his or her common units to the partnership for redemption, we can, in our sole discretion, choose to
purchase the units for either (1) a number of our shares of common stock equal to the number of units redeemed (subject to certain
adjustments) or (2) cash in an amount equal to the market value of the number of our shares of common stock the limited partner
would have received if we chose to purchase the units for common stock. We anticipate that we generally will elect to purchase the
common units for common stock.
The preferred units were, as noted below, convertible by the holders into common units on a one-for-one basis or, at the option
of the holders, redeemable for cash at $10 per unit until October 2011. The preferred units receive a preferred dividend distribution of

The column titled Less Than 1 Year represents payments due for the balance of 2012. Long-term debt includes debt on
properties classified in continued operations. The debt related to properties held for sale (and expected to be sold in the next 12
months, with the respective debt paid) of $34.5 million is not included in the table above.
We have various standing or renewable contracts with vendors. These contracts are all cancelable with immaterial or no
cancellation penalties. Contract terms are generally one year or less. The land leases reflected in the table above represent continuing
operations. In addition, the Company has two land leases associated with properties in discontinued operations. These two properties
are expected to be sold in the next 12 months. The annual lease payments of $105,000 are not included in the table above. We also
have management agreements with HMA, Strand, Kinseth and HLC for the management of our hotel properties.
Other
To maintain our REIT tax status, we generally must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders annually.
In addition, we are subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax if the actual amount distributed to shareholders in a calendar year is less
than a minimum amount specified under the federal income tax laws. We have a general dividend policy of paying out approximately
100% of annual REIT taxable income. The actual amount of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors based
on our actual results of operations, economic conditions, capital expenditure requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors
deems relevant.
Off Balance Sheet Financing Transactions
We have not entered into any off balance sheet financing transactions.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of
operations and require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. We have identified the following principal
accounting policies that have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements:
Impairment of assets
In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall - Subsequent Measurement, the Company
analyzes its assets for impairment when events or circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. As
part of this process, the Company utilizes a two-step analysis to determine whether a trigger event (within the meaning of ASC 360-
10-35) has occurred with respect to cash flow of, or a significant adverse change in business climate for, its hotel properties. Quarterly
and annually the Company reviews all of its hotels to determine any property whose cash flow or operating performance significantly
underperformed from budget or prior year, which the Company has set as a shortfall against budget or prior year as 15% or greater.
At year end the Company applies a second analysis on the entire held for use portfolio. The analysis estimates the expected
future cash flows to identify any property whose carrying amount potentially exceeded the recoverable value. (Note that at the end of
each quarter, this analysis is performed only on those properties identified in the 15% change analysis). In performing this year end
analysis, the Company makes the following assumptions:
• Holding periods range from three to five years, for non-core assets, and ten years for those assets considered as core.
• Cash flow from trailing twelve months for the individual properties multiplied by the holding period as noted above. The
Company did not assume growth rates on cash flows as part of its step one analysis.
• A revenue multiplier for the terminal value based on an average of historical sales from a leading industry broker of like
properties was applied according to the assigned holding period.
40
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, the analysis above was used to determine that a trigger event as described in ASC
360-10-35 occurred for one and two of our held for use properties, respectively. In each case the carrying value of the hotel exceeded
the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected over its remaining anticipated holding period and from its disposition. Each property
was then tested to determine if the carrying amount was recoverable using property specific assumptions. When testing the
recoverability for a property, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 35-29 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall – Subsequent
Measurement, Estimates of Future Cash Flows Used to Test a Long-Lived Asset for Recoverability, the Company uses estimates of
future cash flows associated with the individual property over the expected holding period and eventual disposition. In estimating
these future cash flows, the Company incorporates its own assumptions about its use of the hotel property and expected hotel
performance. Assumptions used for the individual hotels were determined by management, based on discussions with our asset
management group and our third party management companies. Each property was then subjected to a probability-weighted cash flow
analysis as described in FASB ASC 360-10-55 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall – Implementation. In this analysis, the
Company completed a detailed review of each hotel’s market conditions and future prospects, which incorporated specific detailed
cash flow and revenue multiplier assumptions over the remaining expected holding periods, including the probability that the property
will be sold. Based on the results of this analysis, it was determined that the Company’s investment in the subject properties was not
fully recoverable; accordingly, impairment was recognized.
To determine the amount of impairment on the properties identified above, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-55, the
Company calculated the excess of the carrying value of the property in comparison to its fair market value as of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2011. As discussed in Note 1 - Fair Value Measurements, the fair market values were determined using Level 3 inputs
in accordance with ASC 820-10-35 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Subsequent Measurement. Based on this
calculation, the Company determined total impairment of $2.8 million existed as of June 30, 2011 on the one held for use asset and
$2.8 million existed as of December 31, 2011 on the two assets previously noted. Fair market value was determined by multiplying
trailing 12 months’ revenue for the property by a revenue multiplier that was determined based on the company’s experience with
similar hotel sales in the current year, available industry information and brokers’ opinions of value. As the fair market value of the
properties impaired for the year ending December 31, 2011, was determined in part by management estimates, a reasonable possibility
exists that future changes to inputs and assumptions could affect the accuracy of management’s estimates and such future changes
could lead to further possible impairment in the future. During the 12 months ending December 31, 2011, the Company recorded
impairment losses of $3.3 million and the recovery of previously recorded impairment of $0.4 million on four hotels reclassified from
held for sale to held for use in the fourth quarter of 2011.
In accordance with ASC 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment—Overall—Subsequent Measurement, the Company
determines the fair value of an asset held for sale based on the estimated selling price less estimated selling costs. We engage
independent real estate brokers to assist us in determining the estimated selling price using a market approach. The estimated selling
costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales.
Acquisition of Hotel Properties
Upon acquisition, we allocate the purchase price of asset classes based on the fair value of the acquired real estate, furniture,
fixtures and equipment, and intangible assets, if any. Our investments in hotel properties are carried at cost and are depreciated using
the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements and three to twelve
years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives and classification of our properties for purposes of
determining the amount of depreciation expense to reflect each year with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct
impact on our net income. Should we change the expected useful life or classification of particular assets, it would result in a change
in depreciation expense and annual net income.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with GAAP. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and for net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations
in the period that includes the enactment date. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management’s
evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance must consider positive and negative evidence, and the weight given to the potential
effects of such positive and negative evidence is based on the extent to which it can be objectively verified.
41
Related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we follow a process by which the likelihood of a tax position is gauged
based upon the technical merits of the position, perform a subsequent measurement related to the maximum benefit and the degree of
likelihood, and determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements, if any.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk Information
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial or commodity instruments is the risk of loss from
adverse changes in market prices or rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable rate borrowings.
Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. In order to
achieve this objective, we have used both long term fixed rate loans and variable rate loans from institutional lenders to finance our
hotels. We are not currently using derivative financial or commodity instruments to manage interest rate risk.
Management monitors our interest rate risk closely. The table below presents the annual maturities, weighted average interest
rates on outstanding debt, excluding debt related to hotel properties held for sale, at the end of each year and fair values required to
evaluate the expected cash flows under debt and related agreements, and our sensitivity to interest rate changes at December 31, 2011.
Information relating to debt maturities is based on expected maturity dates and is summarized as follows (in thousands):

As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2011, it does not consider exposures or positions
that could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations would depend on
the exposures that arise after December 31, 2011.
If market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate long-term debt fluctuate by 1.0%, interest expense would increase or
decrease, depending on rate movement, future earnings and cash flows by $0.3 million annually. This assumes that the amount
outstanding under the Company’s held for use variable rate debt remains at $32.5 million, the balance as of December 31, 2011.

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Supertel Hospitality, Inc. (SHI) was incorporated in Virginia on August 23, 1994. SHI is a self-administered real estate
investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes.
SHI, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Supertel Hospitality REIT Trust and E&P REIT Trust (collectively, the
“Company”) owns a controlling interest in Supertel Limited Partnership (“SLP”) and E&P Financing Limited Partnership (“E&P
LP”). All of the Company’s interests in 90 properties with the exception of furniture, fixtures and equipment on 70 properties held by
TRS Leasing, Inc. and its subsidiaries are held directly or indirectly by E&P LP, SLP or Solomon’s Beacon Inn Limited Partnership
(SBILP) (collectively, the “Partnerships”). The Company’s interests in ten properties are held directly by either SPPR-Hotels, LLC
(SHLLC), SPPR-South Bend, LLC (SSBLLC), or SPPR-BMI, LLC (SBMILLC). SHI, through Supertel Hospitality REIT Trust, is the
sole general partner in SLP and at December 31, 2011 owned approximately 99% of the partnership interests in SLP. SLP is the
general partner in SBILP. At December 31, 2011, SLP and SHI owned 99% and 1% interests in SBILP, respectively, and SHI owned
100% of Supertel Hospitality Management, Inc, SPPR Holdings, Inc. (SPPRHI), and SPPR-BMI Holdings, Inc. (SBMIHI). SLP and
SBMIHI owned 99% and 1% of SBMILLC, respectively. SLP and SPPRHI owned 99% and 1% of SHLLC, respectively, and SLP
owned 100% of SSBLLC. References to “we”, “our”, and “us” herein refer to Supertel Hospitality, Inc., including as the context
requires, its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned 100 limited service hotels. All of the hotels are leased to our wholly owned
taxable REIT subsidiary, TRS Leasing, Inc. (“TRS”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “TRS Lessee”), and are managed
by Hospitality Management Advisors, Inc. (“HMA”), Strand Development Company LLC (“Strand”), Kinseth Hotel Corporation
(“Kinseth”), and HLC Hotels, Inc. (“HLC”).
The hotel management agreement, as amended, between TRS Lessee and Royco Hotels, the previous manager of 95 of the
Company’s hotels, was terminated effective May 31, 2011. The agreement provided for Royco Hotels to operate and manage the
hotels through December 31, 2011, with extension to December 31, 2016 upon achievement of average annual net operating income
of at least 10% of the Company’s investment in the hotels. Under the agreement, Royco Hotels received a base management fee
ranging from 4.25% to 3.0% of gross hotel revenues as revenues increased above thresholds that ranged from up to $75 million to over
$100 million, and was entitled, if earned, to an annual incentive fee of 10% of up to the first $1.0 million of annual net operating
income in excess of 10% of the Company’s investment in the hotels, and 20% of the excess above $1.0 million. On March 25, 2011,
Royco Hotels and the Company settled a lawsuit filed by Royco Hotels against the Company. The settlement agreement between the
parties provides that the Company will pay an aggregate of $590 in varying amounts of installments through July 1, 2013 to Royco
Hotels (of which $255 has been paid as of December 31, 2011) as financial settlement of the lawsuit and fees owed to Royco Hotels as
termination fees for hotels that have been sold.
On April 21, 2011, the Company through TRS Lessee entered into separate management agreements with HMA, Strand and
Kinseth as eligible independent operators to manage 95 of the Company’s hotels (two of which were subsequently sold) commencing
June 1, 2011. These hotels were previously managed by Royco Hotels.
HMA manages 25 Company hotels in Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia and Florida. Strand
manages the Company’s seven economy extended-stay hotels in Georgia and South Carolina as well as 16 additional Company hotels
located in Georgia, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Kinseth manages 45
Company hotels in eight states primarily in the Midwest. Each of the management agreements expire on May 31, 2014 and will renew
for additional terms of one year unless either party to the agreement gives the other party written notice of termination at least 90 days
before the end of a term.
Each of HMA, Strand and Kinseth receives a monthly management fee with respect to the hotels they manage equal to 3.5% of
the gross hotel income and 2.25% of hotel net operating income (“NOI”). NOI is equal to gross hotel income less operating expenses
(exclusive of management fees, certain insurance premiums and employee bonuses, and personal and real property taxes).
SLP owns 7 hotels which are operated under the Masters Inn name. TRS, the lessee of the hotels, entered into a management
agreement with HLC, an affiliate of the sellers of the 7 hotels. The management agreement, as amended, provides for HLC to operate

and manage the hotels through December 31, 2013 and receive management fees equal to 5.0% of the gross revenues derived from the
operation of the hotels and incentive fees equal to 10% of the annual operating income of the hotels in excess of 10.5% of the
Company’s investment in the hotels.
The management agreements generally require TRS Lessee to fund debt service, working capital needs, capital expenditures and
third-party operating expenses for the management companies excluding those expenses not related to the operation of the hotels. TRS
Lessee is responsible for obtaining and maintaining insurance policies with respect to the hotels.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Partnerships and the TRS Lessee. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
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 consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses recognized during the
reporting period. The significant estimates pertain to impairment analysis and allocation of purchase price (FASB ASC 805-10
Business Combinations - Overall). Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Because of the adverse conditions that exist in the real estate markets, as well as the credit and financial markets, it is possible
that the estimates and assumptions that have been utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements could change.
Specifically as it relates to the Company’s business, the recent economic conditions are expected to continue to negatively affect the
Company’s operating performance, as well as its liquidity position.
Liquidity
Our income and ability to meet our debt service obligations, and make distributions to our shareholders, depends upon the
operations of the hotels being conducted in a manner that maintains or increases revenue, or reduces expenses, to generate sufficient
hotel operating income for TRS Lessee to pay the hotels’ operating expenses, including management fees and rents to us. We depend
on rent payments from TRS Lessee to pay our operating expenses and debt service and to make distributions to shareholders.
The Company’s operating performance, as well as its liquidity position, has been and continues to be negatively affected by
recent economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The Company anticipates that these adverse economic conditions
may improve somewhat over the next year; however, in addition to our operating performance, the other sources described below will
be essential to our liquidity and financial position.
Our business requires continued access to adequate capital to fund our liquidity needs. In 2011 and 2010, the Company
reviewed its entire portfolio, identified properties considered non-core and developed timetables for disposal of those assets deemed
non-core. We focused on improving our liquidity through cash generating asset sales and disposition of assets that are not generating
cash at levels consistent with our investment principles. In 2012, our foremost priorities continue to be preserving and generating
capital sufficient to fund our liquidity needs. Given the deterioration and uncertainty in the economy and financial markets,
management believes that access to conventional sources of capital will be challenging and management has planned accordingly. We
are also working to proactively address challenges to our short-term and long-term liquidity position.
The following are the expected actual and potential sources of liquidity, which if realized we currently believe will be sufficient
to fund our near-term obligations:
• Cash and cash equivalents;
• Cash generated from operations;
Proceeds from asset dispositions;
•
Proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt financings; and/or
Proceeds from public or private issuances of debt or equity securities.
•
•

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
The Company has significant indebtedness maturing over the next year, including a $29.4 million balance on a loan with
Greenwich Capital maturing in December 2012. If we are not successful in negotiating the refinancing of this debt, or any other
maturing debt, or finding alternate sources of financing in a difficult borrowing environment, we will be unable to meet the
Company’s near-term liquidity requirements.
These above sources are essential to our liquidity and financial position, and we cannot assure shareholders that we will be able
to successfully access them (particularly in the current economic environment). If we are unable to generate cash from these sources,
we may have liquidity-related capital shortfalls and will be exposed to default risks. The significant issues with access to the liquidity
sources identified above could lead to our insolvency.
In the near-term, the Company’s cash flow from operations is not projected to be sufficient to meet all of our liquidity needs. In
response, management has identified non-core assets in our portfolio to be liquidated over a one to ten year period. Among the criteria
for determining properties to be sold was potential upside when hotel fundamentals return to stabilized levels. The 24 properties held
for sale as of December 31, 2011 were determined to be less likely to participate in increased cash flow levels when markets do
improve. As such, we expect these dispositions to help us (1) preserve cash, through potential disposition of properties with current or
projected negative cash flow and/or other potential near-term cash outlay requirements (including debt maturities) and (2) generate
cash, through the potential disposition of strategically identified non-core assets that we believe have equity value above debt.
We are actively marketing the 24 properties held for sale, which we anticipate will result in the elimination of an estimated
$34.5 million of debt and generate an expected $4.9 million of proceeds for operations. The marketing process has been affected by
deteriorating economic conditions and we have experienced some decreases in expected pricing. If this trend continues to worsen, we
may be unable to complete the disposition of identified properties in a manner that would generate cash flow in line with
management’s estimates as noted above. Our ability to dispose of these assets is impacted by a number of factors. Many of these
factors are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, availability of financing and interest rates. In light of the
current economic conditions, we cannot predict:
• whether we will be able to find buyers for identified assets at prices and/or other terms acceptable to us;
• whether potential buyers will be able to secure financing; and
•
the length of time needed to find a buyer and to close the sale of a property.
As our debt matures, our principal payment obligations also present significant future cash requirements. We expect lenders will
continue to maintain tight lending standards, which could make it more difficult for us to obtain future credit facilities on terms similar
to the terms of our current credit facilities or to obtain long term financing on favorable terms or at all.
We may not be able to successfully extend, refinance or repay our debt due to a number of factors, including decreased property
valuations, limited availability of credit, tightened lending standards and deteriorating economic conditions. Historically, extending or
refinancing loans has required the payment of certain fees to, and expenses of, the applicable lenders. Any future extensions or
refinancing will likely require increased fees due to tightened lending practices. These fees and cash flow restrictions will affect our
ability to fund other liquidity uses. In addition, the terms of the extensions or refinancing may include operational and financial
covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants.
The Company is required to meet various financial covenants required by its existing lenders. If the Company’s future financial
performance fails to meet these financial covenants, then its lenders also have the ability to take control of its encumbered hotel assets.
Defaults with lenders due to failure to repay or refinance debt when due or failure to comply with financial covenants could also result
in defaults under our credit facilities with Great Western Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation. Our Great Western Bank and
General Electric Capital Corporation credit facilities contain cross-default provisions which would allow Great Western Bank and
General Electric Capital Corporation to declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans, and
such default would permit that lender to accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan. If this were to happen, whether due to
failure to repay or refinance debt when due or failure to comply with financial covenants, the Company’s ability to conduct business
could be severely impacted as there can be no assurance that the adequacy and timeliness of cash flow would be available to meet the
Company’s liquidity requirements.
The Company did not declare a common stock dividend during 2011 or 2010. The Company will monitor requirements to
maintain its REIT status and will routinely evaluate the dividend policy. The Company intends to continue to meet its dividend
requirements to retain its REIT status.

Sources and Uses of Cash
At December 31, 2011, available cash was $0.3 million and the Company’s available borrowing capacity on the Great Western
Bank revolver was $2 million. The Company projected that at December 31, 2011 cash flows from operations and the available
borrowing capacity from the revolver would be insufficient to meet both short term and long term liquidity requirements. As a
consequence, in November 2011 the Company entered into an agreement to sell 3.0 million shares of Series C preferred stock and
obtained a $5 million revolving credit facility from Elkhorn Valley Bank to fund the Company until the closing of the Series C
preferred stock sale.
Short term outflows include monthly operating expenses, $0.2 million of termination fees to Royco Hotels, estimated annual
debt service of $15.0 million and payment of dividends on Series A and Series B preferred stock. Our long-term liquidity requirements
consist primarily of the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties, renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures that
need to be made periodically with respect to hotel properties and $76.7 million of scheduled debt repayments.
We have budgeted to increase our spending on capital improvements from $5 million in 2011 to $7 million on our existing
hotels during 2012. The increase in capital expenditures is a result of complying with brand mandated improvements and initiating
projects that we believe will generate a return on investment as we enter a period of recovery in the lodging sector. We will seek to
satisfy these long-term liquidity requirements through the various sources of capital identified above, including the recently issued
Series C preferred stock and net proceeds on sales of non performing hotels.
We completed a private offering of 3.0 million shares of Series C preferred stock in February 2012. Net proceeds of the
offering, less expenses, were approximately $28.7 million. $7.1 million of the net proceeds were used to repay a $2.1 million
promissory note and to repay the $5 million revolving credit facility with Elkhorn Valley Bank. The remaining net proceeds from the
offering will be used to acquire upper midscale and upscale hotels and to meet our long term liquidity requirements. In addition,
management has identified non-core assets in our portfolio to be liquidated over a one to ten year period. We project that proceeds
from anticipated property sales during the 2012, net of expenses and debt repayment, of $4.9 million will be available for the
Company’s cash needs.
We project that our operating cash flow, revolving credit facility and proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt
financings along with the sources identified above will be sufficient to satisfy all of our liquidity and other capital needs over the next
twelve to eighteen months.
Capitalization Policy
Development and construction costs of properties in development are capitalized including, where applicable, direct and indirect
costs, including real estate taxes and interest costs. Development and construction costs and costs of significant improvements,
replacements, renovations to furniture and equipment expenditures for hotel properties are capitalized while costs of maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred.
Deferred Financing Cost
Direct costs incurred in financing transactions are capitalized as deferred costs and amortized to interest expense over the term
of the related loan using the effective interest method.
Investment in Hotel Properties
Upon acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of assets to asset classes based on the fair value of the acquired real
estate, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and intangible assets, if any. The Company’s investments in hotel properties are carried at
cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 to 40 years for buildings and three to twelve
years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of each hotel to determine if circumstances exist indicating impairment to
the carrying value of the investment in the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified. If facts or circumstances support the
possibility of impairment, the Company will prepare an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the
specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment
is indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying value of the hotel to reflect the hotel at fair value.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10-45 Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall - Other Presentation
Matters, a hotel is considered held for sale when a contract for sale is entered into, a substantial, non refundable deposit has been
committed by the purchaser, and sale is expected to occur within one year, or if management has determined to sell the property
within one year. Depreciation of these properties is discontinued at that time, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and
interest continue to be recognized until the date of sale. Revenues and expenses of properties that are classified as held for sale or sold
are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the statements of operations if the properties will be or have been
sold on terms where the Company has limited or no continuing involvement with them after the sale. If active marketing ceases or the
properties no longer meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the properties are reclassified as operating and measured at the
lower of their (a) carrying amount before the properties were classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that
would have been recognized had the properties been continuously classified as operating or (b) their fair value at the date of the
subsequent decision not to sell.
Gains on sales of real estate are recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 360-20 Property, Plant, and Equipment – Real
Estate Sales (“ASC 360-20”). The specific timing of the sale is measured against various criteria of ASC 360-20 related to the terms
of the transactions and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If
the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until
the sales criteria are met. To the extent we sell a property and retain a partial ownership interest in the property, we generally
recognize gain to the extent of the third party ownership interest in accordance with ASC 360-20.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and various highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less
when acquired, and are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the operations of the hotel properties are recognized when earned. Sales taxes collected from customers and
remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company qualifies and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,
as amended. In general, under such Code provisions, a trust which has made the required election and, in the taxable year, meets
certain requirements and distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income will not be subject to federal income
tax to the extent of the income which it distributes. Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders,
differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due primarily to differences in depreciation of hotel properties for
federal tax purposes. Except with respect to the TRS Lessee, the Company does not believe that it will be liable for significant federal
or state income taxes in future years.
Deferred income taxes relate primarily to the TRS Lessee and are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this
method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities
of the TRS Lessee and their respective tax basis and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates
expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that
it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and
other factors.
Under the REIT Modernization Act (“RMA”), which became effective January 1, 2001, the Company is permitted to lease its
hotels to one or more wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) and may continue to qualify as a REIT provided that the TRS
enters into management agreements with an “eligible independent contractor” that will manage the hotels leased by the TRS. The
Company formed the TRS Lessee and, effective January 1, 2002, the TRS Lessee leased all of the hotel properties. The TRS Lessee is
subject to taxation as a C-Corporation. The TRS Lessee has incurred operating losses for financial reporting and federal income tax
purposes for 2011, 2010 and 2009.
Fair Value Measurements
We currently do not have any financial instruments that must be measured on a recurring basis under Financial Accounting
Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall;

Supertel Hospitality, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
however, we apply the fair value provisions of ASC 820-10-35 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall - Subsequent
Measurement, for our nonfinancial assets which include our held for sale and held for use hotels. We measure these assets using inputs
from Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access
at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e.,
interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by
correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available, including our own data.
During the 12 months ending December 31, 2011, Level 3 inputs were used to determine impairment losses of $5.8 million on
held for sale and sold hotels. This includes the recovery of previously recorded impairment for which sale price or fair value exceeded
management’s previous estimates in the amount of $0.3 million on assets held for sale and sold. The Company also recorded $8.5
million in impairment loss on seven held for use hotels. This includes the impairment loss of $3.3 million and the recovery of
previously recorded impairment of $0.4 million on four hotels reclassified from held for sale to held for use in the fourth quarter of
2011.
During the 12 months ending December 31, 2010, Level 3 inputs were used to determine impairment losses of $6.1 million on
held for sale and sold hotels. These impairment losses include the recovery of previously recorded impairment for which fair value
exceeded management’s previous estimates in the amount of $0.9 million on assets held for sale and sold. The Company also recorded
$2.1 million in impairment loss on one held for use hotel.
During the 12 months ending December 31, 2009, Level 3 inputs were used to determine impairment losses of $16.7 million on
held for sale and sold hotels. These impairment losses include the recovery of previously recorded impairment for which fair value
exceeded management’s previous estimates in the amount of $0.07 million on two assets sold in 2009. This recovery was recorded in
the period the sale occurred. The Company also recorded $7.4 million in impairment loss on five held for use hotels.
In accordance with ASC 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment—Overall—Subsequent Measurement, the Company
determines the fair value of an asset held for sale based on the estimated selling price less estimated selling costs. We engage
independent real estate brokers to assist us in determining the estimated selling price using a market approach. The estimated selling
costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales.
The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt and the credit spreads over variable market rates on its variable rate
debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of
the debt obligation with similar credit policies. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. The
carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt, as of December 31, 2011, are presented in the table below:

Preferred and Common Limited Partnership Units in SLP
At December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 there were 97,008, 158,161 and 158,161, respectively of SLP common operating units
outstanding. These units have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the
amounts allocated to the limited partners holding common operating units (whose units are convertible on a one-to-one basis to
common shares) since their share of income (loss) would be added back to income (loss). During 2011 and 2009, 61,153 and
1,077,645 common operating units, respectively, were converted into 61,153 and 1,077,645 shares of common stock, respectively. In

December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
addition, the 11,424, 51,035 and 51,035 shares of SLP preferred operating units held by the limited partners as of December 31, 2011,
2010 and 2009, respectively, are antidilutive and are therefore excluded from the earnings per share calculation.
Preferred Stock of SHI
At December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, there were 803,270 shares each year of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, after adjusting the numerator and denominator for the basic EPS computation, are antidilutive for the year ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, for the earnings per share computation. The exercise price of the preferred stock warrants
exceeded the market price of the common stock, and therefore these shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings
per share. The conversion rights of the Series A Preferred Stock were cancelled as of February 20, 2009. See additional information
regarding preferred stock and warrants in Note 12.
At December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, there were 332,500 shares, each year, of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock
outstanding. The Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock, therefore, there is no dilutive effect on
earnings per share.
Stock-Based Compensation
Options
The Company has a 2006 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) which has been approved by the Company’s shareholders. The Plan
authorized the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock bonuses for up to 200,000 shares of common
stock. At the annual shareholders meeting on May 28, 2009, the shareholders of Supertel Hospitality, Inc. approved an amendment to
the Supertel 2006 Stock Plan. The amendment increases the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from
200,000 to 300,000 and changes the definition of fair market value to mean the closing price of Supertel common stock with respect to
future awards under the plan.
The potential common shares represented by outstanding stock options for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
totaled 215,500, 255,143, and 230,715 respectively, of which 215,500, 255,143 and 230,715 shares, respectively are assumed to be
repurchased with proceeds from the exercise of stock options with no shares being dilutive for the purposes of calculating earnings per
share.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
The Plan is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 – 10 Compensation – Stock Compensation – Overall,
requiring the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors
based on estimated fair values. The expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2011, 2010, and 2009 for share-based compensation related to employees and directors was $29, $30 and $6, respectively.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interest in SLP represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the equity in the operating partnership.
Supertel offered to each of the Preferred OP Unit holders the option to extend until October 24, 2012 their right to have units
redeemed at $10 per unit. In October 2011, 39,611 units were redeemed at $10 each. The holders of the remaining 11,424 units elected
to extend to October 24, 2012. In October 2010, all holders elected to extend until October 24, 2011. In October 2009, 126,751 units
were redeemed at $10 each. The holders of the remaining 51,035 units elected to extend to October 24, 2010, their right to have units
redeemed at $10 per unit. See additional information regarding SLP units in Note 11. There were no common operating units
redeemed in 2010. During 2011 and 2009, 61,153 and 1,077,645 SLP common operating units of limited partnership interest were
redeemed by unit holders for common shares of SHI. At December 31, 2011, the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited
partners in SLP was approximately 1.0%. Income is allocated to noncontrolling interest based on the weighted average percentage
ownership throughout the year.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintained a major portion of its deposits with Great Western Bank, a Nebraska Corporation at December 31,
2011, 2010 and 2009. The balance on deposit at Great Western Bank exceeded the federal deposit insurance limit; however,
management believes that no significant credit risk exists with respect to the uninsured portion of this cash balance.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation for the effects of any dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, if any. The computation of basic
and diluted earnings per common share is presented below (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 24 hotels classified as held for sale. At the beginning of 2011 the Company had 18
hotels held for sale and during the year classified an additional nineteen hotels as held for sale. Six of these hotels were sold during
2011, and seven of the hotels were reclassified as held for use due to changes in the property’s market condition. Since our previously
filed financial statements on Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2011, in addition to the six hotels reclassified as held for use, eleven
hotels were reclassified as held for sale. The impact of these changes was to increase losses from continuing operations by $0.2
million and $0.6 million for the years ended 2010 and 2009, respectively, compared to the previously filed financial statements in the
2010 Form 10-K.
Note 6. Impairment Losses
In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall - Subsequent Measurement, the Company
analyzes its assets for impairment loss when events or circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
As part of this process, the Company utilizes a two-step analysis to determine whether a trigger event (within the meaning of ASC
360-10-35) has occurred with respect to cash flow of, or a significant adverse change in business climate for, its hotel properties.
Quarterly and annually the Company reviews all of its held for use hotels to determine any property whose cash flow or operating
performance significantly underperformed from budget or prior year, which the Company has set as a shortfall against budget or prior
year as 15% or greater.
At year end the Company applies a second analysis on the entire held for use portfolio. The analysis estimates the expected
future cash flows to identify any property whose carrying amount potentially exceeded the recoverable value. (Note that at the end of
each quarter, this analysis is performed only on those properties identified in the 15% change analysis). In performing this year end
analysis, the Company makes the following assumptions:
• Holding periods range from three to five years for non-core assets, and ten years for those assets considered as core.
• Cash flow from trailing twelve months for the individual properties multiplied by the holding period as noted above. The
Company does not assume growth rates on cash flows as part of its step one analysis.
• A revenue multiplier for the terminal value based on an average of historical sales from leading industry brokers of like
properties was applied according to the assigned holding period.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, the analysis above was used to determine that a trigger event as described in ASC
360-10-35 occurred for one and two of our held for use properties, respectively. In each case the carrying value of the hotel exceeded
the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected over its remaining anticipated holding period and from its disposition. Each property
was then tested to determine if the carrying amount was recoverable using property specific assumptions. When testing the
recoverability for a property, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 35-29 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall – Subsequent
Measurement, Estimates of Future Cash Flows Used to Test a Long-Lived Asset for Recoverability, the Company uses estimates of
future cash flows associated with the individual property over the expected holding period and eventual disposition. In estimating
these future cash flows, the Company incorporates its own assumptions about its use of the hotel property and expected hotel
performance. Assumptions used for the individual hotels were determined by management, based on discussions with our asset
management group and our third party management companies. Each property was then subjected to a probability-weighted cash flow
analysis as described in FASB ASC 360-10-55 Property Plant and Equipment – Overall – Implementation. In this analysis, the
Company completed a detailed review of each hotel’s market conditions and future prospects, which incorporated specific detailed
57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
cash flow and revenue multiplier assumptions over the remaining expected holding periods, including the probability that the property
will be sold. Based on the results of this analysis, it was determined that the Company’s investment in the subject properties was not
fully recoverable; accordingly, impairment was recognized.
To determine the amount of impairment on the properties identified above, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-55, the
Company calculated the excess of the carrying value of the property in comparison to its fair market value as of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2011. As discussed in Note 1 - Fair Value Measurements, the fair market values were determined using Level 3 inputs
in accordance with ASC 820-10-35 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Subsequent Measurement. Based on this
calculation, the Company determined total impairment of $2.8 million existed as of June 30, 2011 on the one held for use asset and
$2.8 million existed as of December 31, 2011 on the two assets previously noted. Fair market value was determined by multiplying
trailing 12 months’ revenue for the property by a revenue multiplier that was determined based on the company’s experience with
similar hotel sales in the current year, available industry information and brokers’ opinions of value. As the fair market value of the
properties impaired for the year ending December 31, 2011, was determined in part by management estimates, a reasonable possibility
exists that future changes to inputs and assumptions could affect the accuracy of management’s estimates and such future changes
could lead to further possible impairment in the future. During the 12 months ending December 31, 2011, the Company recorded
impairment losses of $3.3 million and the recovery of previously recorded impairment of $0.4 million on four hotels reclassified from
held for sale to held for use in the fourth quarter of 2011.

levels of debt service and fixed charge coverage and required loan-to-value ratios and net worth, and place certain restrictions on
distributions.
The key financial covenants for certain of our loan agreements and compliance calculations as of December 31, 2011 are
discussed below (each such covenant is calculated pursuant to the applicable loan agreement). As of December 31, 2011, we were
either in compliance with the financial covenants or obtained waivers for non-compliance (as discussed below). As a result, we are not
in default of any of our loans.

The Great Western Bank credit facilities also require maintenance of consolidated and loan-specific loan to value ratios that do
not exceed 70% tested annually commencing on December 31, 2012, and that we not pay dividends in excess of 75% of our funds
from operations per year. The consolidated and loan-specific debt service coverage ratios for the credit facilities remain at 0.9 to 1,
tested quarterly, through June 29, 2012. The consolidated debt service coverage ratio increases to 1.05 to 1, tested quarterly, from
June 30, 2012 through the maturity of the credit facilities. The loan-specific debt service coverage ratio increases to 1.05 to 1, tested
quarterly, from June 30, 2012 through December 30, 2012 and 1.20 to 1, tested quarterly, from December 31, 2012 through the
maturity of the credit facilities.
The credit facilities with Great Western Bank currently consist of a $12.5 million revolving credit facility and term loans of $14
million, $10 million and $7.5 million. All loans under the credit facilities mature on June 30, 2013. The interest rate on the revolving
credit portion of the credit facilities is 5.95% and the interest rate on the term loan portion of the credit facilities is 6.00%.
The credit facilities provide for $12.5 million of availability under the revolving credit facility through June 30, 2012, after
which the loans available to us through the revolving credit facility and term loans may not exceed the lesser of (a) an amount equal to
70% of the total appraised value of the hotels securing the credit facilities and (b) an amount that would result in a loan-specific debt
service coverage ratio of less than 1.05 to 1 from July 1, 2012 through December 30, 2012 and 1.20 to 1 from December 31, 2012

On March 29, 2012, our credit facilities with General Electric Capital Corporation (GE) were amended to replace existing
financial covenant requirements with new financial covenant requirements. The new financial covenants require that, through the term
of the loans, we maintain: (a) a minimum before dividend fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) with respect to our GE-encumbered
properties (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 0.85:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly thereafter to
1.30:1 as of December 31, 2015; (b) a maximum loan to value ratio with respect to our GE-encumbered properties of 100% as of
March 31, 2012, which requirement decreases quarterly thereafter to 60% as of December 31, 2015; (c) a minimum before dividend
consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 0.95:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly
thereafter to 1.30:1 as of December 31, 2014; and (d) a minimum after dividend consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-month
period) of 0.75:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly thereafter to 1.00:1 as of December 31, 2013.
The GE amendment, among other things, also: (a) shortens the maturity date of the loans secured by the Masters Inn hotels and
Savannah Suites hotels to December 31, 2014; (b) requires a principal prepayment of $7 million on or before December 31, 2012; (c)
provides that the previous increases to the interest rates on the loans will remain in effect and will not be reduced in the future if we
achieve a particular FCCR; (d) adds cross-default provisions with our other material debt and most favored lender provisions; and (e)
implements restrictions on the prepayment of other debt.
In May 2008, we converted the interest rates on certain of our GE loans to fixed rates. Because interest rates have since
decreased, there are yield maintenance costs associated with prepayments of those loans. The yield maintenance cost associated with
the most recent Masters Inn sale was 16.5% of the amount prepaid. The GE amendment implements fixed prepayment fees on the

loans secured by the Masters Inn hotels and Savannah Suites hotels (in lieu of the yield maintenance costs) which start at 2.5% of the
amount prepaid in 2012 and increase over time up to 10% of the amount prepaid.
If we fail to pay our indebtedness when due, fail to comply with covenants or otherwise default on our loans, unless waived, we
could incur higher interest rates during the period of such loan defaults, be required to immediately pay our indebtedness and
ultimately lose our hotels through lender foreclosure if we are unable to obtain alternative sources of financing with acceptable terms.
Our Great Western Bank and GE credit facilities contain cross-default provisions which would allow Great Western Bank and GE to
declare a default and accelerate our indebtedness to them if we default on our other loans, and such default would permit that lender to
accelerate our indebtedness under any such loan. We are not in default of any of our loans.
At December 31, 2011, we had long-term debt of $131.3 million associated with assets held for use, consisting of notes and
mortgages payable, with a weighted average term to maturity of 3.5 years and a weighted average interest rate of 6.37%. The weighted
average fixed rate was 6.9%, and the weighted average variable rate was 4.7%. Debt held on properties in continuing operations is
classified as held for use. Debt is classified as held for sale if the properties collateralizing it are included in discontinued operations.
Debt associated with assets held for sale is classified as a short-term liability due within the next year irrespective of whether the notes
and mortgages evidencing such debt mature within the next year. Aggregate annual principal payments on debt associated with assets
held for use for the next five years and thereafter, and debt associated with assets held for sale, are as follows:

Note 8. Income Taxes
The RMA was included in the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, which was enacted into law on December 17, 1999. The RMA
includes numerous amendments to the provisions governing the qualification and taxation of REITs, and these amendments were
effective January 1, 2001. One of the principal provisions included in the Act provides for the creation of TRS. TRS’s are corporations
that are permitted to engage in nonqualifying REIT activities. A REIT is permitted to own up to 100% of the voting stock in a TRS.
Previously, a REIT could not own more than 10% of the voting stock of a corporation conducting nonqualifying activities. Relying on
this legislation, in November 2001, the Company formed the TRS Lessee.
As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income it distributes
currently to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at
regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four
subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its
income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income of a TRS
is subject to federal, state and local income taxes.
In connection with the Company’s election to be taxed as a REIT, it has also elected to be subject to the “built-in gain” rules on
the assets formerly held by the old Supertel. Under these rules, taxes will be payable at the time and to the extent that the net
unrealized gains on assets at the date of conversion to REIT status are recognized in taxable dispositions of such assets in the ten-year
period following conversion. The ten-year period ended November 1, 2011.
At December 31, 2011, the income tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities excluding those of TRS were approximately
$237,775 and $150,572, respectively; at December 31, 2010, they were approximately $263,706 and $166,997, respectively.
The TRS net operating loss carryforward from December 31, 2011 as determined for federal income tax purposes was
approximately $14.6 million. The availability of such loss carryforward will begin to expire in 2022.
Income tax benefit from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 consists of the following:

The TRS has estimated its income tax benefit using a combined federal and state rate of approximately 38%. As of the year
ended 2011, 2010 and 2009 the TRS had deferred tax assets of $5.9 million, $4.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, primarily due
to current and past years’ tax net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022 through 2031. In assessing the
realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income. The Company considers projected scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. These estimates of future taxable income inherently require significant judgment.
Management uses historical experience and short and long-range business forecasts to develop such estimates. Further, we employ
various prudent and feasible tax planning strategies to facilitate the recoverability of future deductions. To the extent management
does not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established. The valuation
of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our
financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. Our accounting for deferred tax consequences represents our best estimate
of those future events. Changes in our current estimates, due to unanticipated events or otherwise, could have a material impact on our
financial condition and results of operations. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that no valuation
allowance is required.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Company uses an estimate of its annual effective rate
based on the facts and circumstances at the time while the actual effective rate is calculated at year end. 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 basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. There is no valuation allowance at

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies and Other Related Party Transactions
Hospitality Management Advisors, Inc. (“HMA”), Strand Development Company LLC (“Strand”), Kinseth Hotel Corporation
(“Kinseth”), and HLC Hotels, Inc. (“HLC”), independent contractors, manage our hotels pursuant to hotel management agreements
with TRS Lessee. The management agreements provide that the management companies have control of all operational aspects of the
hotels, including employee-related matters. HMA, Strand, Kinseth, and HLC must generally maintain each hotel in good repair and
condition and make routine maintenance, repairs and minor alterations. Additionally, the management companies must operate the
hotels in accordance with third party franchise agreements that cover the hotels, which includes using franchisor sales and reservation
systems as well as abiding by franchisors’ marketing standards. HMA, Strand, Kinseth and HLC may not assign their management
agreements without our consent. For further information regarding terms of the agreements see note 1.
The management agreements generally require TRS Lessee to fund debt service, working capital needs, capital expenditures and
to reimburse the management companies for all budgeted direct operating costs and expenses incurred in the operation of the hotels.
TRS Lessee is responsible for obtaining and maintaining insurance policies with respect to the hotels.
The remaining amount due Royco Hotels as financial settlement of the lawsuit and fees owed to Royco Hotels as termination
fees for hotels that have been sold is $335.
With the exception of certain events of default as to which no grace period exists, if an event of default occurs and continues
beyond the grace period set forth in the management agreement, the non-defaulting party has the option of terminating the agreement.
The management agreements provide that each party, subject to certain exceptions, indemnifies and holds harmless the other
party against any liabilities stemming from certain negligent acts or omissions, breach of contract, willful misconduct or tortuous
actions by the indemnifying party or any of its affiliates.
In an effort to meet the Company’s short-term liquidity needs, and because of the difficulty encountered in obtaining sources of
borrowing to meet such needs, on November 10, 2011 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, then consisting of Messrs.
Jung, Whittemore, and Zwerdling, approved a proposal for the purchase by four of the Company directors, Messrs. Borgmann,
Dayton, Latham, and Walters (the “Purchasing Directors”), of the Amended and Restated Master Promissory Note maturing
November 30, 2011 from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Note”) for the balance owed of principal and interest in the
amount of $2.1 million.
The Purchasing Directors purchased the Note from Wells Fargo on November 21, 2011. The Note was secured by two of the
Company’s hotels and the Purchasing Directors released one of the hotels from security for the Note so that it could be used as
security by the Company to obtain a $5.0 million line of credit with Elkhorn Valley Bank. Each of the Purchasing Directors also
separately guaranteed $0.75 million of the line of credit (the “Elkhorn Line of Credit”).
The Audit Committee approved an amendment of the Note to extend its maturity to May 31, 2012 and to increase the per annum
interest rate of 4.5% to 10% as consideration for the Purchasing Directors releasing the Company’s hotel from security for the Note.
As consideration for the personal guaranties by the Purchasing Directors of Elkhorn Line of Credit, the Audit Committee approved
payment of a fee of 2% per annum of the amount of their personal guaranties.
Proceeds from the sale of the Series C preferred stock were used in February 2012 to repay the Note and the Elkhorn Line of
Credit, and the Purchasing Directors were released from their personal guaranties. Each of the Purchasing Directors received $13 in
interest payments on the Note and a $4 fee for their personal guarantee of the Elkhorn Line of Credit.

Litigation
Various claims and legal proceedings arise in the ordinary course of business and may be pending against the Company and its
properties. Based upon the information available, the Company believes that the resolution of any of these claims and legal
proceedings should not have a material adverse affect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company assumed land lease agreements in conjunction with the purchase of three hotels. One lease requires monthly
payments of the greater of $2 or 5% of room revenue through November 2091. A second lease requires monthly payments of $1
through 2017 with approximately $1 annual increase beginning January 1, 2018, with additional increases in 2033, 2043, 2053 and
2063. A third lease requires annual payments of $34, with approximately $3 increases every five years throughout twelve renewal
periods. Land lease expense from continuing operations totaled approximately $112, $111 and $109 in 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and is included in property operating expense.
The Company entered into office lease agreements in May of 2010 and December of 2011. The two office leases mature in 2016
with the option to renew an additional five years. Office lease expense totaled $59 and $14 during 2011 and 2010, respectively. No
office lease expense was incurred during 2009.

bridge loan with General Electric Capital Corporation. At December 31, 2011, 332,500 shares of 10.0% Series B preferred stock
remained outstanding.
Dividends on the Series B preferred stock are cumulative and are payable quarterly in arrears on each
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day, at the annual rate of
10.0% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $2.50 per share. Dividends on the Series
B preferred stock accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of
such dividends, whether or not such dividends are declared and whether or not such dividends are prohibited by agreement. Accrued
but unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock will not bear interest.
The Series B preferred stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, rank senior to the Company’s common stock, senior to all classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Company and
ranking junior to the Series B preferred stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, on a parity with the Company’s Series A preferred stock and with all classes or series of preferred stock issued by the
Company and ranking on a parity with the Series B preferred stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the Company’s
liquidation, dissolution or winding up and junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness.
The Company will not pay any distributions, or set aside any funds for the payment of distributions, on its common shares,
unless it has also paid (or set aside for payment) the full cumulative distributions on the preferred shares for the current and all past
dividend periods. The Series B preferred stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption.
The Series B preferred stock is not redeemable prior to June 3, 2013, except in certain limited circumstances relating to the
maintenance of the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT as provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation or a change of
control (as defined in the Company’s amendment to its articles of incorporation establishing the Series B preferred stock). The
Company may redeem the Series B preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after June 3, 2013 for
cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Also, upon a change of control, each
outstanding share of the Company’s Series B preferred stock will be redeemed for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus
all accrued and unpaid dividends. At December 31, 2011, no events have occurred that would lead the Company to believe redemption
of the preferred stock, due to a change of control or failure to maintain its REIT qualification, is probable.
Note 11. Noncontrolling Interest of Common and Preferred Units in SLP
At December 31, 2011, 97,008 of SLP’s common operating partnership units (“Common OP Units”) were outstanding. The
redemption values for the Common OP Units are $64 and $250 for 2011 and 2010 respectively. Each limited partner of SLP may,
subject to certain limitations, require that SLP redeem all or a portion of his or her Common OP Units, at any time after a specified
period following the date the units were acquired, by delivering a redemption notice to SLP. When a limited partner tenders Common
OP Units to SLP for redemption, the Company can, in its sole discretion, choose to purchase the units for either (1) a number of shares
of Company common stock equal to the number of units redeemed (subject to certain adjustments) or (2) cash in an amount equal to
the market value of the number of shares of Company common stock the limited partner would have received if the Company chose to
purchase the units for common stock. During 2011 and 2009, 61,153 and 1,077,645, respectively, Common OP Units were redeemed
for common shares of SHI.
At December 31, 2011, 11,424 of SLP’s preferred operating partnership units (“Preferred OP Units”) were outstanding. The
redemption value for the Preferred OP Units is $114 for December 31, 2011. The Preferred OP Units receive a preferred dividend
distribution of $1.10 per preferred unit annually, payable on a monthly basis and do not participate in the allocations of profits and
losses of SLP. Distributions to holders of Preferred OP Units have priority over distributions to holders of Common OP Units.
Supertel offered to each of the Preferred OP Unit holders the option to extend until October 24, 2012 their right to have units
redeemed at $10 per unit. In October 2011, 39,611 units were redeemed at $10 each. The holders of the remaining 11,424 units elected
to extend to October 24, 2012. In October 2010, all holders elected to extend until October 24, 2011. In October 2009, 126,751 units
were redeemed at $10 each. The holders of the remaining 51,035 units elected to extend to October 24, 2010, their right to have units
redeemed at $10 per unit. The remaining 11,424 units will continue to be carried outside of permanent equity at redemption value.

Note 12. Common and Preferred Stock
The Company’s common stock is duly authorized, full paid and non-assessable. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, members of
the Board of Directors and executive officers owned approximately 18.5% and 19%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding
common stock.
At December 31, 2011, 97,008 of SLP’s common operating partnership units (“Common OP Units”) and 11,424 of SLP’s
preferred operating partnership units (“Preferred OP Units”) were outstanding. The combined redemption value for the Common OP
Units and Preferred OP Units are $178 and $761 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Each limited partner of SLP may,
subject to certain limitations, require that SLP redeem all or a portion of his or her Common OP Units or Preferred OP Units, at any
time after a specified period following the date the units were acquired, by delivering a redemption notice to SLP. When a limited
partner tenders Common OP Units to SLP for redemption, the Company can, in its sole discretion, choose to purchase the units for
either (1) a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the number of units redeemed (subject to certain adjustments) or
(2) cash in an amount equal to the market value of the number of shares of Company common stock the limited partner would have
received if the Company chose to purchase the units for common stock. The Preferred OP Units were, as noted below, convertible by
the holders into Common OP Units on a one-for-one basis or, at the option of the holders, redeemable for cash at $10 per unit until
October 2010. The Preferred OP Units receive a preferred dividend distribution of $1.10 per preferred unit annually, payable on a
monthly basis and do not participate in the allocations of profits and losses of SLP. During 2011 and 2009, 61,153 and 1,077,645,
respectively, Common OP Units of limited partnership interest were redeemed for common shares of SHI. During 2010, no Common
OP Units were redeemed for common shares of SHI. Supertel offered to each of the Preferred OP Unit holders the option to extend
until October 24, 2012 their right to have units redeemed at $10 per unit. In October 2011, 39,611 units were redeemed at $10 each.
The holders of the remaining 11,424 units elected to extend to October 24, 2012. In October 2010, all holders elected to extend until
October 24, 2011. In October 2009, 126,751 units were redeemed at $10 each. The holders of the remaining 51,035 units elected to
extend to October 24, 2010, their right to have units redeemed at $10 per unit.
On December 30, 2005 the Company offered and sold 1,521,258 shares of 8% Series A preferred stock. The shares were sold
for $10.00 per share and bear a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share. At December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 803,270 shares
each year of Series A preferred stock remained outstanding.
Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative and are payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month, at
the annual rate of 8% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $.80 per share. Dividends
on the Series A preferred stock accrue regardless of whether or not the Company has earnings, whether there are funds legally

available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared. Unpaid dividends will accumulate and
bear additional dividends at 8%, compounded monthly.
The Series A preferred stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, ranks senior to all classes or series of the Company’s common stock, senior or on parity with all other classes or series of preferred
stock and junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness. Upon liquidation all Series A preferred stock will be
entitled to $10.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The Company will not pay any distributions, or set aside any funds for
the payment of distributions, on its common shares unless it has also paid (or set aside for payment) the full cumulative distributions
on the preferred shares for the current and all past dividend periods. The outstanding preferred shares do not have any maturity date,
and are not subject to mandatory redemption.
The Series A preferred stock had no conversion rights, the former conversion rights of the Series A preferred stock were
cancelled as of February 20, 2009.
The Series A preferred stock will be redeemable on or after January 1, 2009 for cash, at the Company’s option, in whole or from
time to time in part, at $10.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.
On May 10, 2010, the Company consummated the sale of 598,803 shares of its common stock and 299,403 warrants to purchase
up to an additional 299,403 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.0 million, pursuant to the
terms of a Private Placement Memorandum with accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance at an exercise
price of $2.50.
During 2010 we sold 316,384 shares of common stock using a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. Net proceeds of $480
were used for corporate purposes.
On March 29, 2011, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with JMP Securities LLC (“JMP”) pursuant to
which the Company may offer and sell up to 2.0 million shares of common stock from time to time through JMP. Sales of shares of
the Company common stock, if any, under the agreement may be made in negotiated transactions or other transactions that are deemed
to be “at the market” offerings, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Market or sales made to or through a market
maker other than on an exchange. The common stock will be sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (333-
170756). The Company sold through JMP, as its agent, an aggregate of 91,725 shares of common stock in 2011 and 65,000 shares of
common stock in the fourth quarter of 2011, pursuant to ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market. Gross proceeds
in 2011 were $97, commissions to agent were $5, other miscellaneous expenses were $3 and net proceeds to the Company were $89.
Gross proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $53, commissions to agent were $3 and net proceeds to company were $50.
The Company also has Series B preferred stock outstanding. See Note 10. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company
issued and sold 3,000,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock. See Note 15.
Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation
Upon initial issuance of stock options on May 25, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 718-10-30
Compensation – Stock Compensation – Overall – Initial Measurement, which requires the measurement and recognition of
compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values.
Options
The Company has a 2006 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) which has been approved by the Company’s shareholders. The Plan
authorized the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock bonuses for up to 200,000 shares of common
stock. At the annual shareholders meeting on May 28, 2009, the shareholders of Supertel Hospitality, Inc. approved an amendment to
the Supertel 2006 Stock Plan. The amendment increases the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from
200,000 to 300,000 and changes the definition of fair market value to mean the closing price of Supertel common stock with respect to
future awards under the plan.
As of December 31, 2011, 215,500 stock options have been awarded under the Plan. The exercise price is equal to the average
of the high and low sales price of the stock as reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system
(NASDAQ) on the grant date. A total of 215,500 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan with

The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical data among other factors to estimate the expected
price volatility, the expected option life, the dividend rate and expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The following table summarizes the estimates used in the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model related to the 2010 and 2009 grants:

The expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the share-based compensation related to employees and
directors for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $29, $30 and $6, respectively. At December 31, 2011, we had no

Note 15. Subsequent Events
On January 20, 2012, the Company sold a Super 8 in Fayetteville, AR (83 rooms) for approximately $1.56 million with a $0.4
million gain. The proceeds were used primarily to reduce a term loan with Great Western Bank.
On February 21, 2012, the Company amended its credit facilities with Great Western Bank to extend the maturity date of all
loans to June 30, 2013.
On September 21, 2011, the Company received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market stating that the minimum bid price
of its common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that the Company was therefore not in
compliance with Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1). The notification letter had no effect at that time on the listing of the Company’s
common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market. The Company’s common stock continued to trade on The NASDAQ Global Market
under the symbol SPPR.

December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
On February 16, 2012, the Company received a notice from The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications that the staff had determined
that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from February 2, 2012 to February 15, 2012, the closing bid price of the Company’s
common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater. The staff advised that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule
5450(a)(1) and this matter is now closed.
The Company entered into a Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2011 for the issuance and sale of Supertel’s Series C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C preferred stock”) and warrants under a private transaction to Real Estate
Strategies, L.P. (“RES”). On January 31, 2012 at a special meeting, the shareholders of Supertel, by the requisite vote, approved the
issuance and sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Series C preferred stock of Supertel, up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock of
Supertel which may be issued upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock, and warrants to purchase up to an additional
30,000,000 shares of common stock, to RES pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In two closings on February 1, 2012 and February
15, 2012, the Company completed the sale to RES of 3,000,000 shares of Series C preferred stock and warrants to purchase
30,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per common share.
Each share of Series C preferred stock is entitled to a dividend of $0.625 per year payable in equal quarterly dividends. Each
share of Series C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share, in cash, plus an amount equal to any accrued and
unpaid dividends.
The Series C preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into common stock at a conversion price of
$1.00 for each share of common stock, which is equal to the rate of ten shares of common stock for each share of Series C preferred
stock. A holder of Series C preferred stock will not have conversion rights to the extent the conversion would cause the holder and its
affiliates to beneficially own more than 34% of voting stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). “Voting stock” means capital
stock having the power to vote generally for the election of directors of the Company.
The Series C preferred stock will vote with the common stock as one class, subject to certain voting limitations. For any vote,
the voting power of the Series C preferred stock will be equal to the lesser of: (a) 6.29 votes per share, or (b) an amount of votes per
share such that the vote of all shares of Series C preferred stock in the aggregate equal 34% of the combined voting power of all the
Company voting stock, minus an amount equal to the number of votes represented by the other shares of voting stock beneficially
owned by RES and its affiliates (the “Voting Limitation”).
As long as RES has the right to designate two or more directors to the Company Board of Directors pursuant to the Directors
Designation Agreement (described below), the following requires the approval of RES and IRSA:
•
•
•
the merger, consolidation, liquidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company;
the sale by the Company of common stock or securities convertible into common stock equal to 20% or more of
the outstanding common stock or voting stock; or
any Company transaction of more than $120,000 in which any of its directors or executive officers or any member
of their immediate family will have a material interest, exclusive of employment compensation and interests
arising solely from the ownership of the Company equity securities if all holders of that class of equity securities
receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis.
On February 1, 2012 and February 15, 2012, in connection with the purchase of the Series C preferred stock, the Company
issued and RES received warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Warrants are exercisable at any time on or before January 31, 2017 at an exercise price of $1.20
per share of common stock. The exercise price may be paid in cash, or the holder may also elect to pay the exercise price by having
the Company withhold a sufficient number of shares from the exercise with a market value equal to the exercise price.
The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered into an Investor Rights and Conversion
Agreement (the “Investor Rights and Conversion Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA pursuant to which the
Company granted RES and its affiliates and their respective subsidiaries, among other rights, the right to purchase equity shares or
securities convertible into equity shares in future Company offerings on a pro rata basis based on their combined ownership of
common stock and Series C preferred stock, provided that such purchase would not cause RES and its affiliates to exceed the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In the agreement, RES agreed to certain standstill provisions including that neither RES nor its
affiliates will acquire any securities that would result in RES and its affiliates owning more than 34% of the voting stock of the
Company.

Supertel Hospitality, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered into a registration rights agreement (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA. The Registration Rights Agreement requires the
Company to register for resale by the holders the common stock issued upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock and upon
exercise of the Warrants, and the Warrants and the Series C preferred stock. The Registration Rights Agreement also grants RES the
right to participate in certain future underwritten offerings of securities by the Company.
The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered into a directors designation agreement (the
“Directors Designation Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA pursuant to which the Company will appoint up to
four directors designated by RES and IRSA to the Company Board of Directors and to maintain the Company Board of Directors at no
more than nine members. Messrs. Elsztain, Friend, Landry, and Sabin have been appointed to the Board of Directors pursuant to the
agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement, RES agreed to vote for the election of the current Board of Directors who remain on the Board of
Directors and their successors as nominated by the nominating committee of the Board of Directors. One of the directors designated
by RES will be appointed to the nominating committee. As long as RES beneficially owns 7% or more of the voting power of the
capital stock of the Company, the RES designees will be nominated and recommended for election at each annual meeting of the
Company shareholders.
On February 3, 2012, the Company paid in full the $5.0 million balance on the revolving credit facility with Elkhorn Valley
Bank, with a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Series C preferred stock.
On February 16, 2012, the Company paid in full the $2.1 million note payable to Fredericksburg North Investors, LLC, with a
portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Series C preferred stock.
On March 1, 2012 the Company amended its credit facility with First National Bank of Omaha to extend the maturity date to
May 1, 2012.
On March 29, 2012, the Company amended its credit facilities with General Electric Capital Corporation to replace existing
financial covenant requirements with new financial covenant requirements. The new financial covenants require that, through the term
of the loans, the Company maintain: (a) a minimum before dividend fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) with respect to its GE-
encumbered properties (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 0.85:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly
thereafter to 1.30:1 as of December 31, 2015; (b) a maximum loan to value ratio with respect to its GE-encumbered properties of
100% as of March 31, 2012, which requirement decreases quarterly thereafter to 60% as of December 31, 2015; (c) a minimum before
dividend consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-month period) of 0.95:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases
quarterly thereafter to 1.30:1 as of December 31, 2014; and (d) a minimum after dividend consolidated FCCR (based on a rolling 12-
month period) of 0.75:1 as of March 31, 2012, which requirement increases quarterly thereafter to 1.00:1 as of December 31, 2013.
The GE amendment, among other things, also: (a) shortens the maturity date of the loans secured by the Masters Inn hotels and
Savannah Suites hotels to December 31, 2014; (b) requires a principal prepayment of $7 million on or before December 31, 2012; (c)
provides that the previous increases to the interest rates on the loans will remain in effect and will not be reduced in the future if the
Company achieves a particular FCCR; (d) adds cross-default provisions with the Company’s other material debt and most favored
lender provisions; and (e) implements restrictions on the prepayment of other debt.
In May 2008, the Company converted the interest rates on certain of its GE loans to fixed rates. Because interest rates have since
decreased, there are yield maintenance costs associated with prepayments of those loans. The yield maintenance cost associated with
the most recent Masters Inn sale was 16.5% of the amount prepaid. The GE amendment implements fixed prepayment fees on the
loans secured by the Masters Inn hotels and Savannah Suites hotels (in lieu of the yield maintenance costs) which start at 2.5% of the
amount prepaid in 2012 and increase over time up to 10% of the amount prepaid.
On March 27, 2012, the Company sold a Super 8 in Muscatine, LA (63 rooms) for approximately $1.3 million. The proceeds
were used primarily to reduce a term loan with Great Western Bank, with the remaining amount used to reduce the revolving line of
credit with Great Western Bank.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation was performed under the supervision of management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as
defined in Rule 13a-15 of the rules promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered
by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 was (1) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (2) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. No changes in the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company carried out an evaluation under
the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s
management used the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations (COSO) to perform this evaluation. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our registered
public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.

Under United States securities laws, the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than

Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following compensation discussion and analysis provides information which the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors (the “Committee”) believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of compensation awarded to,
earned by or paid to the Company’s executive officers listed in the summary compensation table (named executive officers).
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the summary compensation table and related tables below.
During fiscal 2011, the members of the Committee were George R. Whittemore, Patrick Jung and Richard Frandeen.
Messrs. Jung and Frandeen resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on January 31, 2012, and on February 1, 2012
the Board appointed Messrs. Dayton and Sabin to the Committee.
Compensation Overview and Objective. The Committee has the responsibility for developing and maintaining an
executive compensation policy for named executive officers that creates a direct relationship between pay levels and
corporate performance and returns to shareholders. The objective of the Company’s compensation program is to attract and
retain a high caliber of management who will manage the Company in a manner that will promote its goals to achieve long
term profitability and to advance the interest of the Company’s shareholders. The Committee believes that the performance in
2011 of the named executive officers indicate their commitment to achieving such goals for the Company and its
shareholders. The compensation program for named executive officers seeks to achieve the objective of retaining a high
caliber of management by:
•
•
•
•
providing overall competitive pay levels,
creating proper incentives to enhance shareholder value,
rewarding superior performance, and
compensating at levels that are justified by the returns available to shareholders.
Compensation Practices. The Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of the executive officers during the
year, and will award cash bonuses or long-term incentives for significant performance.
The Company adopted the Supertel 2006 Stock Plan in 2006 for the benefit of its named officers and other employees.
The plan, approved by the Company shareholders, is the first equity based compensation plan adopted by the Company. The
Company does not have a pension plan. The Company’s executive officers may participate in its 401(k) Plan on the same
terms as other participating employees. The Company does not maintain a perquisite program for its executive officers.
Employment Agreements
On November 17, 2009 the Company entered into employment agreements, approved by the Committee, with the
named executive officers, Kelly A. Walters, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; Corrine L. Scarpello, the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer; Steven C. Gilbert, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer; and David L. Walter, the Company’s
Senior Vice President and Treasurer. In connection with the $30 million investment by Real Estate Strategies L.P. (“RES”) in
preferred stock of the Company, the Company and the executives entered into new employment agreements on February 1,
2012. The new agreements maintain the named executive officers’ 2011 base salaries and are generally in the form of the
executives’ previous employment agreements except for increase in the term of the agreements and the addition of severance
87
payments in the event the Company terminates the executive’s employment or the executive terminates employment for good
reason. The employment agreements of Mr. Walters and Ms. Scarpello terminate on January 31. 2015. Their severance
payment is three times their base salary. The employment agreements of Mr. Walter and Mr. Gilbert terminate on January 31,
2014. Their severance payment is two times their base salary. Severance amounts for all four executives reduce by six
months during each year of employment. One-third of the severance will be paid in the form of the Company’s equity to the
extent available from shareholder approved plans.
As with the prior agreements, the new employment agreements provide that base salaries will be reviewed annually and
further provide that the executives will be considered for cash bonuses and option grants annually. Any such bonus is to be
based on the recommendation of the Committee and any such option grant is to be made in the sole discretion of the
Committee.
Components of Compensation. The Company’s executive compensation has three components, each of which is
intended to support the overall compensation objective of retaining a high caliber of management. The three components are
base salary, annual bonuses, and equity incentives. Since 2006, the Company has had the ability to use equity incentives in
the compensation program for named executive officers. The Company paid solely cash compensation in 2011 to its named
executive officers.
Base Salary. Base salary is targeted to be competitive to attract and retain executives qualified to manage a hotel REIT.
Base salary is intended to compensate the executive for satisfying the requirements of the position. Salaries for executive
officers are reviewed by the Committee on an annual basis and may be changed based on the individual’s performance or a
change in competitive pay levels in the marketplace.
Historically the Committee reviews with the Chief Executive Officer an annual salary plan for the Company’s
executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer). The salary plan is modified as deemed appropriate and approved
by the Committee. The annual salary plan is developed by the Chief Executive Officer and is based on his judgment as to the
past and expected future contributions of the individual executive. The Committee reviews and establishes the base salary of
the Chief Executive Officer based on the Committee’s assessment of his past performance, leadership in the conduct of the
Company’s business, and its expectation as to his future contribution in directing the long-term success of the Company.
The annual salary review was handled differently in 2011. The Board agreed to the form of the executive employment
agreements for the four executives as described above during the Company’s negotiations with RES. Pursuant to the
agreements, the base salaries for the executives were maintained at 2011 levels. The annual base salaries for the executives
remain at $262,000 for Mr. Walters, $200,100 for Ms. Scarpello, $147,000 for Mr. Walter and $144,000 for Mr. Gilbert.
Annual Bonuses. No discretionary cash bonuses were awarded to the named executive officers in 2011.
Equity Incentive Plan. Equity stock incentives are provided primarily through grants of stock options to executive
officers pursuant to the shareholder approved the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan. The Committee recognizes the value of equity
incentives in assisting the Company in the hiring and retaining of management personnel and in enhancing the long-term
mutuality of interest between the Company shareholders and its directors, officers and employees. Stock options are granted
at the market value on the date of the grant and have value only if the Company’s stock price increases. Employees must be
employed by the Company at the time of vesting in order to exercise the options. No stock options were granted to the named
executive officers in 2011.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with
management and, based on such review and discussion, has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation
Discussion and Analysis be included in this Form 10-K.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
The employment agreements with the named executive officers provide for the payment of severance in the event the
Company terminates the named executive officer’s employment without cause or the executive terminates employment for
good reason. “Cause” means (a) an unlawful or criminal act by the executive involving moral turpitude or resulting in a
financial loss to Employer, or upon conviction of a felony; or (b) subject to certain cure rights of the executive, the executive
fails to obey written directions delivered to the executive by the Board or Chief Executive Officer, or the executive commits a
material breach of any of the covenants, terms and provisions of the agreement. “Good Reason” means, subject to certain
exceptions and cure rights of the Company, the occurrence of one of the following events, without the Employee’s prior
written consent, (a) a material diminution in the executive’s duties or responsibilities or any material demotion of the
executive. (b) a requirement that the executive work principally from a location outside the 50 mile radius of the current
Company offices in Norfolk, Nebraska or Omaha, Nebraska as of the date of this agreement, (c) a material reduction in the
executive’s base salary, or (d) upon a change of control of the Company, the Company’s failure to obtain an agreement from
any successor of the Company to assume the employment agreement.
The employment agreements of Mr. Walters’ and Ms. Scarpello’s terminate on January 31. 2015. Their severance
payment is three times their base salary. The employment agreements of Mr. Walter’s and Mr. Gilbert’s terminate on
January 31, 2014. Their severance payment is two times their base salary. Severance amounts for all four executives reduce
by six months during each year of employment. One-third of the severance will be paid in the form of the Company’s equity
to the extent available from shareholder approved plans.
If on the last day of fiscal 2011 the Company discharged the executive without cause or the executive quit for good
reason then each of the executives would have received a multiple of their current base salary, aggregating for each such
executive: Mr. Walters – $786,000; Ms. Scarpello – $600,300; Mr. Walter – $294,000; and Mr. Gilbert – $288,000.
The Company’s shareholder-approved stock plan provides that all outstanding options become immediately exercisable
in the event of a change in control. A change in control, defined specifically in the Company’s shareholder-approved stock
plan, generally occurs if: (i) a person, entity or group (excluding Company plans) acquires 50% or more of the Company’s
common stock or total voting power of the Company’s voting securities; (ii) incumbent directors or their replacements
(whose election or nomination was approved by at least a majority of then incumbent directors) cease to constitute a majority
of the board; (iii) a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets occurs unless
the Company’s shareholders prior to the transaction own after the transaction 50% or more of the voting power of the
Company’s securities; and (iv) the Company is liquidated or dissolved. All outstanding options as of December 31, 2011
were vested and exercisable and therefore there would have been no incremental value for unvested options if a change of
control of the Company had occurred on December 31, 2011.

Item 12.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
SECURITIES OWNERSHIP
OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock and preferred stock as of March 23, 2012
by the following persons (a) each shareholder known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our
common stock, (b) each director, (c) each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table and (d) all directors
and executive officers as a group. A person has beneficial ownership over shares if he or she has or shares voting or
investment power over the shares, or the right to acquire that power within 60 days of March 23, 2012.
With respect to our continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust, our Articles of Incorporation contain an
ownership limitation, which prohibits both direct and indirect ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of our
common stock or 9.9% of any series of our preferred stock. Our Articles of Incorporation permit the Board of Directors, in its
sole discretion, to exempt a person from this ownership limit if the person provides representations and undertakings that
enable the Board to determine that granting the exemption would not result in Supertel losing its qualification as a REIT.
Under the Internal Revenue Service rules, REIT shares owned by certain entities are considered owned proportionately by
owners of the entities for REIT qualification purposes. The holder of the Series C preferred stock provided representations
and undertakings necessary for the Board to grant such an exemption, including a representation that no individual will own
9.9% or more of any class of Supertel stock as a result of the holder’s acquisition of the Series C preferred stock and related
warrants for the purchase of common stock.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent as directors as independence is
defined by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Company’s articles of incorporation and the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission: Steve H. Borgmann, Allen Dayton, Daniel Elsztain, James Friend, Donald J. Landry,
William C. Latham, John M. Sabin, and Randy Whittemore. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit
Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee is independent as independence is defined by the
applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Company’s articles of incorporation and the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has also determined that Messrs. Sabin and Whittemore are audit committee
financial experts within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Purchase Agreement and Series C Preferred Stock. On November 16, 2011, with the unanimous approval of the
Board of Directors the Company and Supertel Limited Partnership entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with Real Estate Strategies L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership (“RES”), for the purchase from the Company of
up to 3,000,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C preferred”). RES is an affiliate of
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima, a publicly-traded company (NYSE: “IRS”) based in Buenos Aires,
Argentina (“IRSA”). On January 31, 2012 at a special meeting, the shareholders of the Company, by the requisite vote,
approved the issuance and sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Series C preferred stock, up to 30,000,000 shares of common
stock of the Company which may be issued upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock, and warrants to purchase up to
an additional 30,000,000 shares of common stock, to RES pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company issued an
aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Series C preferred to RES for $30 million in closings on February 1 and February 15, 2012.
Each share of Series C preferred stock is entitled to a dividend of $0.625 per year payable in equal quarterly dividends.
Each share of Series C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share, in cash, plus an amount equal to any
accrued and unpaid dividends.
The Series C preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into common stock at a conversion
price of $1.00 for each share of common stock, which is equal to the rate of ten shares of common stock for each share of
Series C preferred stock. A holder of Series C preferred will not have conversion rights to the extent the conversion would
cause the holder and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 34% of voting stock (the “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation”). “Voting stock” means capital stock having the power to vote generally for the election of directors of the
Company.
The Series C preferred stock will vote with the common stock as one class, subject to certain voting limitations. For
any vote, the voting power of the Series C preferred stock will be equal to the lesser of: (a) 6.29 votes per share, or (b) an
amount of votes per share such that the vote of all shares of Series C preferred stock in the aggregate equal 34% of the
combined voting power of all the Company voting stock, minus an amount equal to the number of votes represented by the
other shares of voting stock beneficially owned by RES and its affiliates (the “Voting Limitation”).
93
As long as RES has the right to designate two or more directors to the Company Board of Directors pursuant to the
Directors Designation Agreement (described below), the following requires the approval of RES and IRSA:
•
•
•
the merger, consolidation, liquidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company;
the sale by the Company of common stock or securities convertible into common stock equal to 20% or
more of the outstanding common stock or voting stock; or
any Company transaction of more than $120,000 in which any of its directors or executive officers or any
member of their immediate family will have a material interest, exclusive of employment compensation
and interests arising solely from the ownership of the Company equity securities if all holders of that
class of equity securities receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis.
Warrants. On February 1, 2012 and February 15, 2012, in connection with the purchase of the Series C preferred
stock, the Company issued and RES received warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Warrants are exercisable at any time on or before
January 31, 2017 at an exercise price of $1.20 per share of common stock. The exercise price may be paid in cash, or the
holder may also elect to pay the exercise price by having the Company withhold a sufficient number of shares from the
exercise with a market value equal to the exercise price.
Investor Rights and Conversion Agreement. The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors,
entered into an Investor Rights and Conversion Agreement (the “Investor Rights and Conversion Agreement”) dated
February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA pursuant to which the Company granted RES and its affiliates and their respective
subsidiaries, among other rights, the right to purchase equity shares or securities convertible into equity shares in future
Company offerings on a pro rata basis based on their combined ownership of common stock and Series C preferred stock,
provided that such purchase would not cause RES and its affiliates to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In the
agreement, RES agreed to certain standstill provisions including that neither RES nor its affiliates will acquire any securities
that would result in RES and its affiliates owning more than 34% of the voting stock of the Company.
Registration Rights Agreement. The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered into a
registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA. The
Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to register for resale by the holders the common stock issued upon
conversion of the Series C preferred stock and upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Warrants and the Series C preferred
stock. The Registration Rights Agreement also grants RES the right to participate in certain future underwritten offerings of
securities by the Company.
Directors Designation Agreement. The Company, with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, entered
into a directors designation agreement (the “Directors Designation Agreement”) dated February 1, 2012 with RES and IRSA
pursuant to which the Company will appoint up to four directors designated by RES and IRSA to the Company Board of
Directors and to maintain the Company Board of Directors at no more than nine members. Messrs. Elsztain, Friend, Landry,
and Sabin have been appointed to the Board of Directors pursuant to the agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement, RES agreed to vote for the election of the current Board of Directors who remain on the
Board of Directors and their successors as nominated by the nominating committee of the Board of Directors. One of the
directors designated by RES will be appointed to the nominating committee. As long as RES beneficially owns 7% or more
of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company, the RES designees will be nominated and recommended for election
at each annual meeting of the Company shareholders.
Loans by Directors and Guarantees by Directors. In an effort to meet the Company’s short-term liquidity needs, and
because of the difficulty encountered in obtaining sources of borrowing to meet such needs, on November 10, 2011 the Audit
Committee, then consisting of Messrs. Jung, Whittemore, and Zwerdling, approved a proposal for the purchase by four of the
Company directors, Messrs. Borgmann, Dayton, Latham, and Walters (the “Purchasing Directors”), of the Amended and
Restated Master Promissory Note maturing November 30, 2011 from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Note”)
for the balance owed of principal and interest in the amount of $2,119,621. The Audit Committee has the authority and
responsibility under its charter to review, oversee and approve of transactions between the Company and a director, executive
officer or related person covered by the SEC’s rule S-K 404(a).
The Purchasing Directors purchased the Note from Wells Fargo on November 21, 2011. The Note was secured by two
of the Company hotels and the Purchasing Directors released one of the hotels from security for the Note so that it could be
used as security by the Company to obtain a $5,000,000 line of credit with Elkhorn Valley Bank. Each of the Purchasing
Directors also separately guaranteed $750,000 of the line of credit (the “Elkhorn Line of Credit”).
94
The Audit Committee approved an amendment of the Note to extend its maturity to May 31, 2012 and to increase the
per annum interest rate of 4.5% to 10% as consideration for the Purchasing Directors releasing the Company’s hotel from
security for the Note. As consideration for the personal guaranties by the Purchasing Directors of Elkhorn Line of Credit, the
Audit Committee approved payment of a fee of 2% per annum of the amount of their personal guaranties.
Proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock were used in February 2012 to repay the Note and the Elkhorn Line of
Credit, and the Purchasing Directors were released from their personal guaranties. Each of the Purchasing Directors received
$12,953 in interest payments on the Note and a $3,625 fee for their personal guarantee of the Elkhorn Line of Credit.
