FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT.  We are the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 99% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 76 hotels in continuing operations with approximately 22,000 rooms at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, we had an aggregate of 124,917,010 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 124,280,585 shares of FelCor common stock and 636,425 units of FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor.

Of the 76 hotels in which we had an ownership interest at December 31, 2011, we owned a 100% interest in 58 hotels, a 90% interest in entities owning three hotels, an 82% interest in an entity owning one hotel, a 60% interest in an entity owning one hotel and 50% interests in entities owning 13 hotels.  We consolidate our real estate interests in the 63 hotels in which we held majority interests, and we record the real estate interests of the 13 hotels in which we held 50% interests using the equity method. We leased 75 of our 76 hotels to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, of which we own a controlling interest. One 50% owned hotel was operated without a lease.  Because we own controlling interests in these lessees, we consolidate our interests in these 75 hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect those hotels’ operating revenues and expenses on our statements of operations.  Of our Consolidated Hotels, we owned 50% of the real estate interests in 12 hotels (we accounted for the ownership in our real estate interests of these hotels by the equity method) and majority real estate interests in the remaining 63 hotels (we consolidate our real estate interest in these hotels).
