Organization

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation, operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT.  FelCor is 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 (i) 70 hotels in continuing operations with approximately 20,000 rooms and (ii) six hotels designated as held for sale at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, we had an aggregate of 124,854,248 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 124,218,010 shares of FelCor common stock and 636,238 FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor.

Of the 70 hotels included in continuing operations, we owned a 100% interest in 52 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 a 50% interest in entities owning 13 hotels. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 57 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 69 of the 70 hotels in continuing operations to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, of which we own a controlling interest. One 50% owned hotel was operated without a lease. Because we owned controlling interests in these lessees, we consolidated our interests in these 69 hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect those hotels’ operating revenues and expenses in our statement of operations.  Of our Consolidated Hotels, we owned 50% of the real estate interests in each of 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 each of the remaining 57 hotels (we consolidate our real estate interest in these hotels).

1.    Organization — (continued)

At March 31, 2012, of our 69 Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, managed 43 hotels, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed 13 hotels, (iii) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed six hotels, (iv) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc., or Marriott, managed three hotels, (v) a subsidiary of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, or Fairmont, managed one hotel, (vi) a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Corp. managed two hotels, and (vii) an independent management company managed one hotel.

In addition to the above hotels, we own the Knickerbocker Building that is being developed as a hotel in midtown Manhattan.

Our hotels managed by Marriott are accounted for on a fiscal year comprised of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to December 31.  Our three-month period ending March 31, 2012 and 2011 includes the results of operations for our Marriott-managed hotels for the 12 week period ending March 23, 2012 and March 25, 2011, respectively.

The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is unaudited.  Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, include adjustments based on management's estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods.  The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.
