According to Smith Travel Research, preliminary results for November 2004 indicate that RevPAR for the midscale without food and beverage segment of the lodging industry increased 8 percent to 10 percent, compared to November 2003. Most of the company's hotels are located in the Midwest, including Ohio, Michigan and Illinois, where the lodging industry is recovering at a much slower rate than the rest of the country, according to Smith Travel Research. SALES ACTIVITY The company facilitated the sale of one leased AmeriHost Inn hotel in December 2004. The impact of the sale of this hotel, and the related lease termination, will be reported in the company's financial statements during the quarter in which the sale transaction closes. Year to date, including this disposition, the company has divested 15 hotels. The company has sold nine wholly owned AmeriHost Inn hotels, sold two wholly owned non-AmeriHost Inn hotels, facilitated the sale of one non-AmeriHost Inn hotel owned by a joint venture, facilitated the sale of two leased AmeriHost Inn hotels on behalf of PMC, the landlord, and sold its ownership interest in a non-AmeriHost Inn joint venture. - more - Arlington Hospitality Page 3 The company currently has eight hotels under contract for sale, including three leased hotels, which are expected to be consummated within the next six months. When the company has hotels under contract for sale, even with nonrefundable cash deposits in certain cases, certain conditions to closing remain, and there can be no assurance that these sales will be consummated as anticipated. HOTEL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY The company continues its construction of an AmeriHost Inn & Suites hotel in Lansing, Mich. for a joint venture in which it is a partner. In addition, the company expects to close on the debt and equity financing for an 87-room AmeriHost Inn & Suites at the Columbus, Ohio airport in the next 90 days, pending final entitlements and site work required by the seller, at which time Arlington will commence construction. The company has several other projects in the pre-construction development stage. The sales and development activities set forth above do not represent guidance on, or forecasts of, the results of the company's entire consolidated operations, which are reported on a quarterly basis.
