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 99.5% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 41 hotels as of March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, we had an aggregate of 139,918,201 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 139,306,739 shares of FelCor common stock and 611,462 FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor.
Of our 41 hotels as of March 31, 2016, we owned 100% interests in 38 hotels, a 95% interest in one hotel (The Knickerbocker) and 50% interests in entities owning two hotels. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 39 hotels in which we hold majority interests, and we record the real estate interests of the two hotels in which we hold indirect 50% interests using the equity method. We lease 40 of the 41 hotels to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, of which we own a controlling interest. We operate one 50%-owned hotel without a lease. Because we own controlling interests in our operating lessees, we consolidate our interests in all 40 leased hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We own 50% of the real estate interest in one Consolidated Hotel (we account for our real estate interest of this hotel by the equity method) and majority real estate interests in our remaining 39 Consolidated Hotels (we consolidate our real estate interests in these hotels).

Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed two hotels; (vi) a subsidiary of Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, or Fairmont, managed one hotel; (vii) a subsidiary of Highgate Hotels, or Highgate, managed one hotel; (viii) a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Corporation, or Morgans, managed two hotels; and (ix) Aimbridge Hospitality managed one hotel.
On January 1, 2016, we adopted accounting guidance under ASU 2015-2, modifying the analysis performed to determine whether we should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, FelCor LP will be a variable interest entity of FelCor. As FelCor LP is already consolidated in the balance sheets of FelCor, the identification of this entity as a variable interest entity has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of FelCor. There were no other legal entities under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption.
The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 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, 2016 and 2015, include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods. Income taxes in prior periods have been reclassified from taxes, insurance and lease expense to conform to the current period presentation of a single line for income tax expense on our consolidated statement of operations. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.
