As consideration for part of the $87.25 million purchase price on the acquisition of three hotel properties in Nova Scotia on March 1, 2013, Temple issued two million common shares to the vendor, at an agreed price of $6.25 per share for total proceeds of $12.5 million.
On April 30, 2013, the Series B convertible debentures, including accrued interest, were redeemed in full with a cash payment in the total amount of $20.7 million.
On May 8, 2013, Temple issued, by way of private placement, 1,448,495 shares at a price of $5.40 per share for total gross proceeds of $7.82 million.
Major Capital Improvements
One of the ongoing strategic initiatives of Temple is to undertake major renovation and upgrade projects at select hotel properties in order to maximize the income potential of the properties. During Q1-2013, Temple invested $2.89 million in capital expenditures, including $2.3 million in regard to the guest room, lobby and meeting room refurbishments at the Radisson Hotel and Suites.
Major capital expenditure programs are also planned for the Hilton Garden Inn, Saskatoon Inn & Conference Centre and Holiday Inn South. The capital expenditure program for the Saskatoon Inn & Conference Centre is expected to be completed over a period of approximately three years at an estimated cost of approximately $10 million and will primarily consist of guest room, lobby and meeting room refurbishment and exterior re-cladding of the building. For the three other hotels, the capital expenditure programs consist primarily of guest room and lobby refurbishments with an estimated cost in the range of $3.0 to $3.5 million and an estimated completion period of approximately 24 months.
Outlook
The acquisition of the $42 million Acclaim Hotel - Calgary Airport is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013 and other potential hotel acquisitions are under consideration. For the remainder of 2013, Temple will also remain focused on achieving earnings growth from its existing hotel portfolio, through increased operational efficiencies and accretive capital improvements at the Sheraton Red Deer and Radisson Hotel & Suites. Earnings growth for the second and third quarters should also reflect the stronger spring and summer demand for our hotel facilities.

During Q1-2013, total room revenue increased by $7.85 million or 53%, compared to Q1-2012, comprised of an increase of $0.47 million or 3% in "same property" revenue and incremental revenue of $7.38 million from new hotel acquisitions. The increase in room revenue for the "same property" portfolio is comprised of an increase of $0.49 million or 6% for the Fort McMurray same property portfolio, partially offset by a decrease of $0.02 million for the "Other" hotels in the same property portfolio.
As disclosed in the following chart, RevPar for the same property portfolio was $118.51 during Q1-2013, compared to $110.44 during Q1-2012. RevPar for the Fort McMurray "same property" portfolio continued to improve during Q1-2013 with the portfolio achieving RevPar of $142.05, compared to $129.01 during Q1-2012.
RevPar for the newly acquired properties during Q1-2012 was $122.89 and reflects only the Radisson Hotel & Suites in Fort McMurray, which was the only property acquired in Q1-2012. In comparison, RevPar for the Radisson Hotel & Suites was $67.50 in Q1-2013, which reflects the loss of a significant number of room nights while the property underwent a scheduled major renovation.
Total RevPar in Q1-2013 for all newly acquired properties was $90.36 and reflects the reduced RevPar experienced at the Radisson Hotel & Suites as well as lower RevPar results at the more recently acquired properties, which have comparatively lower room rates.

Total operating income increased by $3.38 million or 43% during Q1-2013, compared to Q1-2012, comprised of an increase of $0.45 million or 6% for the "same property" portfolio and $2.93 million which is attributable to new hotel acquisitions. The increase in "same property" operating income reflects a $0.54 million increase for the Fort McMurray "same property" portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in operating income for the other same property portfolio.
The overall profit margin of the entire hotel portfolio decreased from 37% during Q1-2012, to 35% during Q1- 2013. The decline in overall profit margin is mainly attributable to a decrease in the proportionate contribution from hotels in Fort McMurray as additional hotels are acquired outside of Fort McMurray. The hotels in Fort McMurray have a substantially higher profit margin compared to the other Temple hotels.

Income before equity income (loss), change in fair value of financial instruments and income taxes, decreased by $1.70 million during Q1-2013, compared to Q4-2012. The decrease mainly reflects an increase in general and administrative expenses, interest expense (net) and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by an increase in operating income.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.05 million compared to Q4-2012 mainly as a result of transaction costs expensed as part of the hotel acquisitions in Q1-2013.
Interest expense (net) increased by $1.11 million compared to Q4-2012 comprised mainly of an increase in mortgage loan interest as a result of hotel acquisitions; an increase in convertible debenture interest as a result of the Series F convertible debenture offering that closed in February 2013; and accretion charges of $0.43 million which began to be recorded in January 2013 as a result of the conversion of Temple to a corporation.
During Q1-2013 compared to Q4-2012, operating income increased by $0.90 million or 9%, comprised of an increase of $0.30 million in "same property" operating income and $0.60 of operating income attributable to new hotels. The increase in "same property" operating income reflects quarterly variations throughout the entire same property hotel portfolio including an increase in Fort McMurray and a decrease at the Sheraton Red Deer and Days Inn Lloydminster.
Overall, after reflecting income tax expense, equity income (loss); the loss associated with the change in fair value financial instruments and income taxes, the net income decreased by $0.18 million, during Q1-2013 compared to Q4-2012.
