Organization


FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, held ownership interests in (i) 78 hotels in continuing operations with approximately 22,000 rooms and (ii) three hotels designated as held for sale at June 30, 2011. The sole general partner of FelCor LP is FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE: FCH), or FelCor, a Maryland corporation operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. All of FelCor's operations are conducted solely through FelCor LP, and at June 30, 2011, FelCor owned a greater than 99% partnership interest in FelCor LP. At June 30, 2011, we had 125,208,961 redeemable and common units of FelCor LP outstanding.


We lease all but one of our hotels to our taxable REIT subsidiaries (or TRS).  These subsidiaries (our operating lessees) have engaged independent third-party management companies to manage the hotels.


Of the 78 hotels included in continuing operations, we owned a 100% interest in 60 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 65 hotels in which we held greater than 50% ownership interests, and we record the real estate interests of the 13 hotels in which we held 50% ownership interests using the equity method.


At June 30, 2011, 77 of the 78 hotels were leased to operating lessees, and one 50%-owned hotel was operated without a lease.  We held majority interests and had direct or indirect controlling interests in all of the operating lessees.  Because we owned controlling interests in these lessees (including lessees of 12 of the 13 hotels in which we owned 50% of the real estate interests), we consolidated our lessee interests in these hotels (we refer to these 77 hotels as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect 100% of those hotels’ revenues and expenses on 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 65 hotels (we consolidate our real estate interest in these hotels).

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 periods ending June 30, 2011 and 2010 includes the results of operations for our Marriott-managed hotels for the 12-week periods ending June 17, 2011 and June 18, 2010, respectively.


The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 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 and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2010, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.
