PART I

Item 1. Business

     FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation and the nation’s second largest public lodging real estate investment trust, or REIT, based on total assets and number of hotels owned. We are the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 95% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 149 hotels at December 31, 2004, with approximately 41,000 rooms and suites. When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, “we” and “our” refer to FelCor and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

     At December 31, 2004, we owned a 100% interest in 112 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owing seven hotels, a 60% interest in an entity owning two hotels, a 51% interest in an entity owning eight hotels and a 50% interest in entities owning 20 hotels. As the result of our ownership interests in the operating lessees of 144 of these hotels, we reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. The operations of 143 of the 144 consolidated hotels were included in continuing operations at December 31, 2004. The remaining one hotel was subject to a firm sale contract at December 31, 2004, and its operations were included in discontinued operations. The operating revenues and expenses of the remaining five hotels were reported on the equity method.

     Our hotels included in continuing operations are located in the United States (31 states) and Canada, with concentrations in Texas (31 hotels), California (19 hotels), Florida (16 hotels) and Georgia (14 hotels). We own the largest number of Embassy Suites Hotels, Crowne Plaza and independently owned Doubletree-branded hotels. At December 31, 2004, we had 19 hotels that had been identified as non-strategic assets to be sold, one of which was subject to a firm sale contract and was classified as “held for sale.”

     Our business is conducted in one reportable segment, which is hospitality. During 2004, we derived 98% of our revenues from hotels located within the United States and the balance from our Canadian hotels.

     We seek to increase operating cash flow through aggressive asset management and the competitive positioning of our hotels, to maintain a sound and flexible capital structure, and to reposition our portfolio through the sale of non-strategic hotels and investment in newer, higher quality hotels in major urban and resort markets with greater growth potential. The hotels in which we may invest are expected to be affiliated with, or to benefit from affiliation with, one of the premium brands available to us through our strategic brand owner and manager relationships with Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood.

     At December 31, 2004, we had an aggregate of 62,605,439 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 59,817,304 shares of FelCor common stock and 2,788,135 units of limited partnership interest of FelCor LP not owned by FelCor.

     Additional information relating to our hotels and our business, including the charters of our corporate governance and nominating committee, compensation committee and audit committee; our corporate governance guidelines; and our code of business conduct and ethics can be found on our website at www.felcor.com. Information relating to our hotels and our business can also be found in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our annual, quarterly and current reports, and amendments to these reports, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, are made available on our website, free of charge, under the “SEC Filings” tab on our “Investor Relations” page, as soon as practicable following their filing.

Developments During 2004

     We completed 2004 with a 4.9% increase in our hotel revenue per available room, or RevPAR, compared to 2003, in contrast to the unprecedented consecutive three year decline in RevPAR that we had experienced prior to 2004. The fundamentals of the lodging industry appear to be in the early stages of a recovery, as evidenced by the national trend of increased RevPAR and increases in average daily room rates, or ADR, which are beginning to represent a major portion of the increase in RevPAR. The increase in ADR generally results in increases in hotel operating margins, which we also saw during the last two quarters of 2004.

Table of Contents

     During 2004, we reduced our debt outstanding and significantly reduced our weighted average cost of debt through the following capital transactions and use of cash on hand:

  •   We completed the early retirement of $775 million in senior notes:

  o   $600 million of senior notes maturing in 2008; and
 
  o   $175 million of senior notes maturing in 2004;

  •   We issued $290 million of floating rate senior notes;
 
  •   We issued $234 million in mortgage debt; and
 
  •   We issued $160 million of convertible preferred stock.

     Of the hotels previously identified for sale, we sold 17 during 2004 for gross proceeds of $157 million and terminated the lease on one hotel at a cost of $5 million. At December 31, 2004, we had one hotel designated as “held for sale,” which subsequently was sold in January 2005, for $1 million, leaving 18 hotels that had been identified for sale, substantially all of which are expected to be sold over the next 18 months for anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $155 million.

     For 2004, we paid preferred dividends of $1.95 per share on our Series A preferred stock and preferred dividends of $2.25 per depository share on our Series B preferred stock. No dividends were paid on our common stock during 2004.

Recent Developments

     During the first quarter of 2005, one of the 18 hotels previously identified for sale was placed under a firm sale contract with a non-refundable deposit. We currently expect this sale to close in the late first or early second quarter, generating gross proceeds of approximately $38 million.

The Industry

     After three consecutive years of declining or flat RevPAR, the industry finally experienced the long awaited turn-around in 2004. Industry RevPAR grew 7.8% in 2004 according to Smith Travel Research, or STR. Demand for U.S. hotel rooms increased by 4.6% in 2004. The improvement in demand was driven by the return of the business traveler and the continuing strength of the leisure market. In 2004, the average number of rooms sold on Wednesdays, the peak day for business demand, increased by more than 210,000 rooms, compared to 2003, and represented an increase over the same measure in 2000.

     Supply growth, one of the most critical factors in the health of the lodging industry, continues to be held in check. Over the past seven years, supply growth has steadily declined from 3.9% in 1998 to 1.0% in 2004 according to STR. This level of growth is the lowest since 1993 and is well below the historical 15-year average supply growth of 2.6% per year.

     With demand growing and supply stable, hotel operators were able to increase prices in 2004. According to STR, the industry’s ADR increased 4.0%, as compared to declining rates in 2001 and 2002 and flat rates in 2003. ADR growth contributed 51% of the industry’s growth in RevPAR in 2004. This newfound pricing power contributed to the industry’s 29.9% growth in profits to $16.6 billion during 2004, according to a January 18, 2005, press release by PricewaterhouseCoopers, or PwC.

     A number of sources predict that the recovery in the lodging industry will continue during 2005. The U.S. economy’s recovery, the re-emergence of the corporate business traveler and the limited new supply growth allow us to look optimistically towards the future. Macroeconomic Advisers forecasts Real GDP (GDP adjusted for inflation) growth to be 3.7% in 2005 and 3.9% in 2006. However, the road to recovery varies significantly across the country, with each market having its own dynamics between demand and supply.

Table of Contents

     STR classifies hotel chains into seven distinct categories: Luxury, Upper Upscale, Upscale, Midscale with Food & Beverage, Midscale without Food & Beverage, Economy and Independent. Our hotels are principally in the following categories: Upper Upscale (including Doubletree Guest Suites, Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels, Sheraton and Westin hotels); Upscale (including Crowne Plaza and Courtyard); and Midscale With Food & Beverage (including Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Select hotels). Our hotels in these categories generated 99% of our 2004 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. Our Upper Upscale all-suite hotels accounted for more than 59% of our EBITDA in 2004.

     STR also categorizes hotels based upon their relative market positions, as measured by ADR, as Luxury, Upscale, Midprice, Economy and Budget. The following table contains information with respect to average occupancy (determined by dividing occupied rooms by available rooms), ADR and RevPAR for our hotels, as well as all Upscale U.S. hotels, all Midprice U.S. hotels and all U.S. hotels, as reported by STR, for the periods indicated.

Business Strategy

     We have identified three long-term strategic objectives: growth in our earnings; improvement in our return on invested capital; and a reduction in our overall financial leverage. In order to achieve these strategic objectives, our business strategy is to: dispose of non-strategic hotels; acquire hotels that meet our refined investment strategy; improve the competitive positioning of our core hotels through aggressive asset management and the judicious application of capital; and pay down debt through a combination of operational cash flow, the sale of non-strategic hotels and, if appropriate, other capital transactions. We continue to examine our portfolio to address market supply and concentration of risk issued. Additionally, we are considering external growth, through acquisition of hotels, that does three things: increases long-term shareholder value, improves the quality of our portfolio and improves both our market distribution and future EBITDA growth.

Sale of Non-Strategic Hotels

     In 2003, we completed a comprehensive review of our investment strategy and of our existing hotel portfolio, as a result of which we decided to sell certain under-performing smaller hotels in secondary and tertiary markets, markets with high supply growth, and markets in which we had an undesirable concentration, such as Dallas. We continue to review and evaluate our hotel portfolio on an ongoing basis and may identify additional non-strategic hotels for sale based upon changing market conditions and other factors.

     During 2004, we sold 17 of the non-strategic hotels previously identified for sale, terminated the lease on one hotel, had one hotel under a firm contract of sale with a non-refundable deposit (which was classified as “held for sale” and included in our discontinued operations), leaving 18 non-strategic hotels remaining to be sold at year end, substantially all of which are expected to be sold over the next 18 months. The 17 hotels sold in 2004, had 4,335 rooms and were sold for aggregate gross proceeds of $157 million. We expect the aggregate

3


Table of Contents

gross sale proceeds from the 18 remaining non-strategic hotels previously identified for sale to be approximately $155 million. The composition, by brand, of the 18 hotels identified for sale at December 31, 2004, is as follows: Holiday Inn-branded (11 hotels); Embassy Suites (three hotels); Doubletree-branded (two hotels); Hampton Inn (one hotel); and Independent (one hotel).

     During the first quarter of 2005, one of the 18 hotels previously identified for sale was placed under a firm sale contract with a non-refundable deposit. We currently expect this sale to close in the late first or early second quarter, generating gross proceeds of approximately $38 million.

     Under the management agreement entered into with IHG in July 2001, we were obligated to reinvest the net proceeds from the sale of any IHG managed hotel in other IHG managed hotels or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG. This potential exposure to liquidated damages made it impractical to sell certain hotels and use the proceeds to pay down debt. In September 2003, we completed an amendment to the IHG management agreement covering 78 of our hotels, pursuant to which we extended the term of the management contracts on 27 hotels from 2013 to 2018 and, in exchange, we received from IHG a liquidated damage credit of $25 million to apply to the satisfaction of liquidated damages otherwise payable to IHG upon the sale of certain IHG managed hotels where the proceeds of sale were applied to the reduction of our debt rather than to reinvestment in IHG managed hotels. At the end of December 2004, we had utilized all of the $25 million liquidated damages credit available to us. Following the full utilization of this credit, we were again required to reinvest the proceeds from the further sale of IHG managed hotels in other hotels to be managed by IHG or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG.

     At March 1, 2005, we had a reinvestment requirement of $17 million. If we do not fulfill this reinvestment obligation within 12 months of the date of sale, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to IHG aggregating $5.3 million. Thirteen of the 18 remaining hotels identified for sale are managed by IHG and subject to the reinvestment obligations in the event they are sold. We will incur additional reinvestment obligations of approximately $76 million if these hotels are sold at currently estimated prices or, if the proceeds of sale are not so reinvested, we will incur approximately $19 million in additional liquidated damages for which we would be liable to IHG.

     The 18 non-strategic hotels included in our continuing operations at December 31, 2004, represented 12% of the rooms in our hotel portfolio, but only 5% of our consolidated hotel operating profit in 2004. The 2004 operating margin for these 18 hotels averaged approximately 1,000 basis points below the remainder of our portfolio.

   Refined Investment Strategy

     We plan to focus our future acquisition efforts on higher quality hotels in markets with significant barriers to entry, such as central business districts and resort locations. Hotel brand and market segment will be secondary concerns when we are considering investment opportunities. We anticipate that this focus will lead to an increase in the number of our upper upscale properties, group and resort destination properties, and greater diversification of our portfolio by geographic location, brand, and customer base. In keeping with this strategy, in March 2004, we purchased the 132-room Santa Monica Holiday Inn. This hotel has a premier location across from the Santa Monica Pier and the Santa Monica beaches and will continue to be operated as a full service upscale hotel.

   Improving the Competitive Positioning of Our Hotels

     We seek to improve the competitive position of our hotels through aggressive asset management and the maintenance of strong relationships with our brand-owner managers. While REIT requirements prohibit us from directly managing our hotels, we work closely with our brand-owner managers to actively monitor and review hotel operations. We strongly urge our managers to implement best practices in expense management at our hotels, and we strive to influence brand strategy on marketing and revenue enhancement programs. Consistent with our commitment to position our hotels for the recovery in the lodging industry, we have continued making both revenue enhancing and maintenance capital improvements at our hotels. During 2004, we spent $102 million on capital expenditures, including our pro rata share of capital improvements made by

4


Table of Contents

our unconsolidated joint ventures. These capital expenditures included quality upgrades at 20 of our hotels. Additionally, in 2004, our repair and maintenance expense represented 5.7% of our hotel room revenue from continuing operations. We intend to focus our 2005 capital expenditures on those hotels with the potential to provide the highest return on investment.

   Paydown of Debt

     We are committed to pay down our debt, while maintaining short-term liquidity. In 2004, we reduced our debt by $270 million and lowered our average cost of debt from 7.8% to 7.4%. This was accomplished through the following capital transactions:

  •   We completed the early retirement of $775 million in senior notes consisting of:

  o   $600 million of senior notes maturing in 2008 that bore interest at 10%; and
 
  o   $175 million of senior notes maturing in October 2004.

  •   We issued $290 million of floating rate senior notes.
 
  •   We issued $234 million in mortgage debt.
 
  •   We issued $160 million of convertible preferred stock.

     At December 31, 2004, we had cash balances of $119 million. Our cash balances included $28 million held under our hotel management agreements to meet our hotel minimum working capital requirements. We have no significant nonextendable debt maturities until 2007, when approximately $246 million in debt matures in excess of normal recurring principal payments. We will continue to seek opportunities to reduce our debt and our cost of capital on an economically sound basis.

Strategic Relationships

     We benefit from our brand-owner and manager alliances with Hilton Hotels Corporation (Embassy Suites Hotels, Hilton and Doubletree), InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn) and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (Sheraton and Westin). These relationships enable us to work effectively with our managers to maximize operating margins and operating cash flow from our hotels .

•   Hilton Hotels Corporation (www.hiltonworldwide.com) is recognized internationally as a preeminent hospitality company. Hilton develops, owns, manages or franchises more than 2,200 hotels, resorts and vacation ownership properties, including approximately 353,000 rooms in the United States. Its portfolio includes many of the world’s best known and most highly regarded hotel brands, including Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites by Hilton, among others. Subsidiaries of Hilton managed 66 of our hotels at December 31, 2004. Hilton is a 50% partner in joint ventures with us in the ownership of 12 hotels and the development and management of residential luxury condominiums, and is the holder of a 10% equity interest in certain of our consolidated subsidiaries owning six hotels.
 
•   InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (www.ichotelsgroup.com) of the United Kingdom is the world’s most global hotel company and the largest by number of rooms. IHG owns, manages, leases or franchises, through various subsidiaries, more than 3,500 hotels and 536,000 guest rooms in nearly 100 countries and territories around the world.

Competition

     The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of our hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotel properties and competes for guests primarily with other full service and limited service hotels in its immediate vicinity and secondarily with other hotel properties in its geographic market. We believe that location, brand recognition, the quality of the hotel, the services provided, and price are the principal competitive factors affecting our hotels.

Environmental Matters

     We customarily obtain a Phase I environmental survey from an independent environmental consultant before acquiring a hotel. The principal purpose of a Phase I survey is to identify indications of potential environmental contamination for which a property owner may have liability and, secondarily, to assess, to a limited extent, the potential for environmental regulatory compliance liabilities. The Phase I surveys of our hotels were designed to meet the requirements of the then current industry standards governing Phase I surveys, and consistent with those requirements, none of the surveys involved testing of groundwater, soil or air. Accordingly, they do not represent evaluations of conditions at the studied sites that would be revealed only through such testing. In addition, their assessment of environmental regulatory compliance issues was general in scope and was not a detailed determination of the hotel’s complete environmental compliance status. Similarly, the surveys did not involve comprehensive analysis of potential offsite liability. The Phase I survey reports did not reveal any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations, nor are we aware of any such liability. Nevertheless, it is possible that these reports do not reveal or accurately assess all environmental liabilities and that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware.

     We believe that our hotels are in compliance, in all material respects, with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding hazardous substances and other environmental matters, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on us. We have not been notified by any governmental authority or private party of any noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or other environmental matters in connection with any of our current or former properties that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations. However, obligations for compliance with environmental laws that arise or are discovered in the future may adversely affect our financial condition.

Tax Status

     We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the federal income tax laws, commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 1994. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level on taxable income that is distributed to our stockholders. We may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. In connection with our election to be taxed as a REIT, our charter imposes restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of our common stock. FelCor LP expects to make distributions on its units sufficient to enable us to meet our distribution obligations as a REIT. As a result of the passage of the REIT Modernization Act, in 2001 we acquired or terminated all of our hotel leases and contributed them to taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. These TRSs are subject to both federal and state income taxes. At December 31, 2004, our TRSs had a federal tax loss carry forward of $296 million.

Employees

     Mr. Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., our President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into an employment agreement with us in 1994 that continues in effect until December 31, 2005, and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party. All of our executive officers, including Mr. Corcoran, have change in control contracts that renew annually. We had 70 full-time employees at December 31, 2004.

Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results

     Certain statements and analyses contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders, or that may in the future be made by, or be attributable to, us, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. All of such forward-looking statements are based upon present expectations and assumptions that may or may not actually occur. The following factors constitute cautionary statements identifying important factors, including material risks and uncertainties, with respect to such forward-looking statements that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements or in our historical results. Each of the following factors, among others, could adversely affect our ability to meet the current expectations of management.

Future terrorist activities and United States military involvement in the Middle East and elsewhere may result in reducing business and leisure travel, which would reduce our revenues.

     The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, caused a significant disruption in travel-related businesses in the United States. Consistent with the rest of the lodging industry, we experienced substantial declines in occupancy and ADR, due to a decline in both business and leisure travel in 2001 and the continued decline in business travel in 2002. In 2003, the continuing sluggish economy, the crisis in the Middle East, culminating in Operation Iraqi Freedom, continued United States military involvement in the Middle East and ongoing threats of terrorism acted to restrict travel and lodging demand. While the lodging industry experienced the beginnings of a recovery in 2004, another act of terrorism in the United States, protracted or expanded United States military involvement in the War on Terrorism, heightened “Threat Levels,” contractions in the airline industry, or increased security precautions making air travel more difficult could limit or delay any recovery, or result in further decreases, in travel and our revenues. We are unable to predict with certainty when or if travel and lodging demand will be fully restored to levels experienced prior to 2001. The factors described above, as well as other political or economic events, may limit or delay any recovery in the lodging industry, thereby extending the already lengthy period of uncertainty that has adversely affected the lodging industry, including us, as a result of reduced public travel.

Our financial leverage is high and is exacerbated by depressed operating cash flows.

     At December 31, 2004, our consolidated debt of $1.8 billion represented 56% of our total market capitalization. The decline in our revenues and cash flow from operations during 2001, 2002 and 2003, have resulted in a reduction of our public debt ratings and may limit our access to additional debt capital. Our senior unsecured public notes currently are rated B1 by Moody’s Investors Service, and B- by Standard & Poor’s, which are considered below investment grade. Historically, we have incurred debt for acquisitions and to fund our renovation, redevelopment and rebranding programs. Limitations upon our access to debt financing could adversely affect our ability to fund these activities and programs in the future.

     The economic slowdown, which began in early 2001 and which was accelerated by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, resulted in consecutive declines in our RevPAR during 2001, 2002 and 2003, compared to the prior years. While we had a 4.9% increase in RevPAR in 2004, if RevPAR continues at current levels for a protracted period of time, or worsens, it could result in a continuation, or worsening, of our net losses and reduce our ability to pay dividends and service our debt.

     Our financial leverage could have important consequences. For example, it could:

  •   limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, renovation, redevelopment and rebranding plans, acquisitions, debt service requirements and other purposes;
 
  •   require us to agree to additional restrictions and limitations on our business operations and capital structure to obtain additional financing;

7


Table of Contents

  •   increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as to fluctuations in interest rates;
 
  •   require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for capital expenditures, future business opportunities, the payment of dividends or other purposes;
 
  •   limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and
 
  •   place us at a competitive disadvantage, compared to our competitors that have less debt.

     We may be able to incur substantial debt in the future, which could increase the risk described above. Based upon our calculation of the limitations described below, assuming additional debt was borrowed at a 7% annual interest rate and invested in assets generating annual EBITDA equal to 7% of their cost, at December 31, 2004, we could have incurred approximately $900 million of additional indebtedness, all of which could have been secured indebtedness. In addition, we may be able to borrow up to the greater of $50 million or 1.5 times our consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four quarters under a line of credit and incur indebtedness to refinance or refund existing indebtedness, even if the incurrence tests described below are not satisfied.

We have restrictive debt covenants that could adversely affect our ability to finance our operations or engage in other business activities.

     The indentures governing our outstanding senior unsecured notes contain various restrictive covenants and incurrence tests, including, among others, provisions that can restrict our ability to:

  •   incur any additional indebtedness if, after giving effect thereto, our consolidated indebtedness would exceed 60% of our adjusted total assets or our interest coverage ratio, as defined in the indentures, would be less than 2.0 to 1;
 
  •   incur any additional secured indebtedness or subsidiary debt if, after giving effect thereto, our consolidated secured indebtedness and subsidiary debt exceeds 40% of our adjusted total assets;
 
  •   make common and preferred distributions;
 
  •   make investments;
 
  •   engage in transactions with affiliates;
 
  •   incur liens;
 
  •   merge or consolidate with another person;
 
  •   dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and
 
  •   permit limitations on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us.

     These restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our operations or engage in other business activities that may be in our best interest.

     Under the terms of the indentures governing one of our outstanding senior notes, we are prohibited from repurchasing any of our capital stock, whether common or preferred, subject to certain exceptions, so long as our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the indenture, exceeds 4.85 to 1. Because our debt-to-EBITDA ratio was greater than 4.85 to 1 during fiscal 2003 and 2004, we were restricted in making capital stock repurchases during such periods. Although our current debt-to-EBITDA ratio is slightly below that threshold, a decline in our EBITDA, or an increase in our debt could raise our ratio above the 4.85 to 1 threshold. Accordingly, we may again be prohibited from purchasing any of our capital stock, except as permitted under limited exceptions, such as from the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance of other capital stock.

Table of Contents

     If actual operating results were to be significantly below our current expectations, as reflected in our public guidance, or if interest rates increase significantly more than we expect, we may be unable to continue to satisfy the incurrence test under the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes. In such an event, we may be prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness, except to repay or refinance maturing debt with debt of similar priority in the capital structure, and may be prohibited from, among other things, paying distributions on our preferred or common stock, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT qualification requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our taxable income.

     Our failure to timely satisfy any judgment or recourse indebtedness, if in the amount of $10 million or more, could result in the acceleration of most of our unsecured recourse indebtedness. We may not be able to refinance or repay our debt in full under those circumstances.

Future or existing relationships may result in certain of our directors and officers having interests that conflict with ours.

     Adverse tax consequences to affiliates upon a sale of certain hotels. Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Robert A. Mathewson, a director, may incur additional tax liability if we sell our investments in six hotels that we acquired in July 1994 from partnerships in which they were investors. Consequently, our interests could differ from Messrs. Corcoran’s and Mathewson’s interests in the event that we consider a sale of any of these hotels. Decisions regarding a sale of any of these six hotels must be made by a majority of our independent directors.

     Conflicts of interest. A director who has a conflict of interest with respect to an issue presented to our board will have no legal obligation to abstain from voting upon that issue. We do not have provisions in our bylaws or charter that require an interested director to abstain from voting upon an issue, and we do not expect to add provisions in our charter and bylaws to this effect. Although each director has a duty of loyalty to us, there is a risk that, should an interested director vote upon an issue in which he or one of his affiliates has an interest, his vote may reflect a bias that could be contrary to our best interests. In addition, even if an interested director abstains from voting, the director’s participation in the meeting and discussion of an issue in which he has, or companies with which he is associated have, an interest could influence the votes of other directors regarding the issue.

We are subject to the risks inherent in the hospitality industry.

     The economic slowdown that began in 2001 has had a significant adverse effect on our RevPAR performance and results of operations. Unless the current economic recovery continues, the effects on our financial condition could be material. We experienced declines in RevPAR, beginning in March 2001 through 2003. A sharp reduction in business travel was the primary cause of the RevPAR decline. The decreased occupancies led to declines in room rates, as hotels competed more aggressively for guests. Both of these factors have had a significant adverse effect on our RevPAR, operating margins and results of operations. Primarily as a result of the concentration of our hotels in certain markets, the RevPAR performance of our hotels has been below the national average. The following table reflects the RevPAR changes experienced by our hotels, as a group on a same-store basis, compared to all U.S. hotels, as a group, for the past three calendar years.

                         
    Change in RevPAR  
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2004     2003     2002  
All FelCor hotels
    +4.9 %     –4.0 %     –7.6 %
All U.S. hotels
    +7.8 %     +0.4 %     –2.7 %

     If the current economic recovery stalls, or if the lodging industry fails to benefit from the recovery for a protracted period of time, or if the markets in which we have significant concentrations should fail to participate in any recovery in the industry, our results of operations and financial condition could deteriorate.

     Investing in hotel assets involves special risks. We have invested in hotel-related assets, and our hotels are subject to all of the risks common to the hotel industry. These risks could adversely affect hotel occupancy and the rates that can be charged for hotel rooms, and generally include:

  •   competition from other hotels;
 
  •   construction of more hotel rooms in a particular area than needed to meet demand;
 
  •   the current high cost of, and any further increases in, fuel costs and other travel expenses, inconveniences and other events that reduce business and leisure travel;
 
  •   adverse effects of declines in general and local economic activity;
 
  •   fluctuations in our revenue caused by the seasonal nature of the hotel industry;
 
  •   a downturn in the hotel industry; and
 
  •   risks generally associated with the ownership of hotels and real estate, as discussed below.

     We could face increased competition. Each of our hotels competes with other hotels in its geographic area. A number of additional hotel rooms have been, or may be, built in a number of the geographic areas in which our hotels are located, which could adversely affect both occupancy and rates in the markets in which our hotels are located. A significant increase in the supply of Midprice, Upscale and Upper Upscale hotel rooms and suites, if demand fails to increase at least proportionately, could have a severe adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     We face reduced coverages and increased costs of insurance. In an effort to keep our cost of insurance within reasonable limits, we have only purchased terrorism insurance for those hotels that are secured by mortgage debt, as required by our lenders. Our terrorism insurance policies have both per occurrence and aggregate limits of $52.5 million with regard to 77 hotels and $75 million with regard to 16 hotels. We have established a self-insured retention of $250,000 per occurrence for general liability insurance with regard to 79 of our hotels. The remainder of our hotels participate in general liability programs sponsored by our managers, with no deductible. Our property insurance has a $100,000 all risk deductible, a deductible of 2% of insured value for named windstorm coverage and a deductible of 5% of insured value for California earthquake coverage. Should uninsured or not fully insured losses be substantial, they could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

     We have geographic concentrations that may create risks from regional or local economic, seismic or weather conditions. At December 31, 2004, approximately 58% of our hotel rooms were located in, and 50% of our 2004 hotel operating profits were generated from, four states: California, Florida, Georgia and Texas. Additionally, at December 31, 2004, we had concentrations in three major metropolitan areas, Atlanta, the Los Angeles area and Dallas, which together represented approximately 19% of our hotel operating profits for the year ended December 31, 2004. Therefore, adverse economic, seismic or weather conditions in these states or metropolitan areas will have a greater adverse effect on us than on the industry as a whole.

     We had 18 hotels at December 31, 2004, that we intend to sell within 18 months. We may be unable to sell these hotels at acceptable prices, or at all, within the proposed time frame. If we are unable to sell these hotels at anticipated prices, we may realize additional losses upon sale. Even if we are successful in selling these hotels as contemplated, if we fail to reinvest the net proceeds in a manner that will generate returns equal to, or better than, the hotels sold, our results of operations will be adversely affected.

     The sale of IHG managed hotels could result in reinvestment requirements or liquidated damages. In September 2003, we completed an amendment to the IHG management agreement covering 78 of our hotels, pursuant to which we extended the term of the management contracts on 27 hotels from 2013 to 2018 and, in exchange, we received from IHG a liquidated damage credit of $25 million to apply to the satisfaction of liquidated damages otherwise payable to IHG upon the sale of certain IHG managed hotels. We agreed that the proceeds of hotel sales for which the credit was utilized would be applied to the reduction of our debt. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we utilized the remaining balance of the $25 million liquidated damages credit available to us. As a result of the full utilization of this credit, we are again required to reinvest the proceeds from the further sale of IHG managed hotels in other hotels to be managed by IHG or pay substantial

10


Table of Contents

termination fees. Termination fees, stated in terms of liquidated damages for the termination of the management agreement, vary by hotel, depending upon the remaining term of the applicable management agreement, and are based upon a multiple of the trailing 12 months’ management fees paid to IHG. The multiples for 2005, range from 6.0 to 8.7 times the past year’s management fees and decline annually through the term of the agreement. No termination fee or liquidated damages will be incurred by us if we timely reinvest the net proceeds from the sale of an IHG managed hotel in an approved substitute hotel to be managed by IHG under the master management agreement. As of March 1, 2005, we had an unsatisfied reinvestment obligation of $17 million. If we do not fulfill this reinvestment obligation within 12 months of the date of sale, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to IHG aggregating $5.3 million. Additionally, until the earlier of either our satisfaction of the reinvestment requirement, or the payment of liquidated damages, we are required to pay monthly termination fees of $57,000 (based on the hotels we have sold through March 1, 2005), which payments will be offset against any liquidated damages payable with respect to these properties. In addition, 13 of the 18 remaining hotels previously identified for sale are managed by IHG and subject to the reinvestment obligations in the event they are sold. We will incur additional reinvestment obligations of approximately $76 million if these hotels are sold at currently estimated prices or, if the proceeds of sale are not so reinvested, we will incur approximately $19 million in additional liquidated damages for which we would be liable to IHG.

     We are subject to possible adverse effects of franchise and license agreement requirements. Substantially all of our hotels are operated under existing franchise or license agreements with nationally recognized hotel brands. Each agreement requires that the licensed hotel be maintained and operated in accordance with specific standards and restrictions in order to maintain uniformity within the franchisor system. Compliance with these standards, and changes in these standards, could require us to incur significant expenses or capital expenditures, which could adversely affect our results of operations and ability to pay dividends to our stockholders and service on our indebtedness. In 2004, we were notified of certain unsatisfied demands relating to two hotels franchised by affiliates of Hilton and four hotels licensed by affiliates of IHG that we make certain capital improvements to those hotels or that the applicable franchise or license could be terminated. Capital improvement plans have been submitted to, and approved by, the brand owners for these hotels, with an aggregate estimated cost of $4 million. The work is in progress, or substantially completed, on each of these improvement plans. No assurance can be provided that we will be able to timely satisfy all of these capital requirements or that, if satisfied, additional requirements will not be imposed.

     If a franchise or license agreement terminates due to our failure to make required improvements, we may be liable to the brand manager or franchisor for a termination payment. These termination payments vary by agreement and hotel, but are generally measured by a multiple of between three and 8.7 times the annual fees received by the franchisor or brand manager. The loss of a substantial number of brand licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business because of the loss of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the brand manager or franchisor. Our franchise agreements also expire or terminate, subject to certain specified renewal rights, at various times. As a condition of the renewal or extension of the franchise agreements, the brand owner may require the payment of substantial fees and may require substantial capital improvements to be made to the hotels for which we would be responsible. During the next five years, the franchise or license agreements applicable in respect of 15 of our hotels are scheduled to expire in accordance with their terms.

     We are subject to the risks of brand concentration. We are subject to the potential risks associated with the concentration of our hotels under a limited number of brands. A negative public image or other adverse event that becomes associated with the brand could adversely affect hotels operated under that brand.

The following table reflects the operating profit from our consolidated portfolio of 143 hotels included in continuing operations as of December 31, 2004, generated by hotels operated under each of the indicated brands during the year ended December 31, 2004:

                 
            % of 2004  
            Hotel  
            Operating

Sheraton-branded hotels
    10       10  
Doubletree-branded hotels
    10       6  
Crowne Plaza hotels
    12       5  

     Should any of these brands suffer a significant decline in popularity with the traveling public, it could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

     We are subject to the risks of hotel operations. Through our ownership of the lessees of our hotels, we are subject to the risk of fluctuating hotel operating expenses at our hotels, including, but not limited to:

  •   wage and benefit costs;
 
  •   repair and maintenance expenses;
 
  •   gas and electricity costs;
 
  •   insurance costs, including health, general liability and workers compensation; and
 
  •   other operating expenses.

     In addition, we are subject to the risks of a decline in operating margins, which occurs when hotel operating expenses increase disproportionately to revenues. These operating expenses and margins are within the control of our brand-owner managers, over which we have limited control, resulting in an increased risk of volatility in our results of operations.

     The lodging business is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues for our hotel portfolio are greater in the second and third calendar quarters than in the first and fourth calendar quarters, although this may not be true for hotels in major tourist destinations. Revenues for hotels in tourist areas generally are substantially greater during tourist season than other times of the year. Seasonal variations in revenue at our hotels can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenues. Quarterly earnings also may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel.

     We lack control over the management and operations of our hotels. We are dependent on the ability of independent third party managers to operate and manage our hotels. In order to maintain our REIT status, we cannot operate our hotels or any subsequently acquired hotels. As a result, we are unable to directly implement strategic business decisions for the operation and marketing of our hotels, such as decisions with respect to the setting of room rates, the salary and benefits provided to hotel employees, the conduct of food and beverage operations and similar matters.

Our ability to grow or sustain our business may be limited by our ability to attract debt or equity financing, and we may have difficulty accessing capital on attractive terms.

     We may not be able to fund future growth and operations solely from cash provided from operating activities because of recent declines in cash flows and our obligation to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year to maintain our status as a REIT. Consequently, we may be forced to rely upon the proceeds of hotel sales or the availability of debt or equity capital to fund hotel acquisitions and necessary capital improvements, and we may be dependent upon our ability to attract debt financing from public or institutional lenders. The capital markets have been, and in the future may be, adversely affected by various events beyond our control, such as the United States’ military involvement in the Middle East and elsewhere, the terrorist

12


Table of Contents

attacks on September 11, 2001, the ongoing War on Terrorism by the United States and the bankruptcy of major companies, such as Enron Corp. Similar events, such as an escalation in the War on Terrorism, new terrorist attacks, or additional bankruptcies in the future, as well as other events beyond our control, could adversely affect the availability and cost of capital for our business. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting sufficient debt or equity financing to fund future growth and operations, or to pay or refinance existing debt, at an acceptable cost, or at all.

We own, and may acquire, interests in hotel joint ventures with third parties that expose us to some risk of additional liabilities or capital requirements.

     We own, through our subsidiaries, interests in several real estate joint ventures with third parties. Joint ventures that are not consolidated into our financial statements owned a total of 20 hotels, in which we had an aggregate investment of $111 million at December 31, 2004. The operations of 15 of these hotels are included in our consolidated results of operations due to our majority ownership of the lessees of these hotels. None of our directors or officers hold any interest in any of these ventures. Our joint venture partners are affiliates of Hilton, with respect to 12 hotels, affiliates of Starwood, with respect to one hotel, and private entities or individuals with respect to seven hotels. The ventures and hotels were subject to non-recourse mortgage loans aggregating $218 million at December 31, 2004.

     The personal liability of our subsidiaries under existing non-recourse loans secured by the hotels of our joint ventures is generally limited to the guaranty of the borrowing ventures’ personal obligations to pay for the lender’s losses caused by misconduct, fraud or misappropriation of funds by the ventures and other typical exceptions from the non-recourse covenants in the mortgages, such as those relating to environmental liability. We may invest in other ventures in the future that own hotels and have recourse or non-recourse debt financing. If a venture defaults under its mortgage loan, the lender may accelerate the loan and demand payment in full before taking action to foreclose on the hotel. As a partner or member in any of these ventures, our subsidiary may be exposed to liability for claims asserted against the venture, and the venture may not have sufficient assets or insurance to discharge the liability.

     Our subsidiaries may not legally be able to control decisions being made regarding these ventures and their hotels. In addition, the hotels in a venture may perform at levels below expectations, resulting in the potential for insolvency of the venture unless the partners or members provide additional funds. In some ventures, the partners or members may elect to make additional capital contributions. We may be faced with the choice of losing our investment in a venture or investing additional capital in it with no guaranty of receiving a return on that investment.

     Interstate Hotels & Resorts, which is our partner in the ownership of eight hotels declined to make further capital contributions to the venture, beginning in 2004. In order to sustain this venture, we made $3 million in advances in 2004, and an additional $1 million in 2005, with a priority in right (but no assurance) of return. We have received a request for additional funding of $2.5 million; however, we have determined that it is not in our best interest to continue funding the further cash shortfalls related to this venture, and have notified the lender to that effect. This venture, which we consolidate, currently has $49 million in non-recourse debt secured by the eight hotels owned by the venture. We have written down our investment in this venture below the current debt balance. We are considering our options with regard to this venture, one of which is to surrender the hotels to the lender.

As a REIT, we are subject to specific tax laws and regulations, the violation of which could subject us to significant tax liabilities.

     The federal income tax laws governing REITs are complex. We have operated, and intend to continue to operate, in a manner that is intended to enable us to qualify as a REIT under the federal income tax laws. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complicated, and interpretations of the federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT are limited. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we have been, or will continue to be, successful in operating so as to qualify as a REIT. At any time, new laws, interpretations or court decisions may change the federal tax laws relating to, or the federal income tax consequences of, qualification as a REIT.

     Failure to make required distributions would subject us to tax. Each year, a REIT must pay out to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income, other than any net capital gain. To the extent that we satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible tax if the actual amount we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than the

13


Table of Contents

minimum amount specified under federal tax laws. FelCor’s only source of funds to make such distributions comes from distributions from FelCor LP. Accordingly, we may be required to borrow money or sell assets to enable us to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the distribution requirements and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% tax in a particular year.

     Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject FelCor to federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates on our taxable income for any such taxable year for which the statute of limitations remains open. We might need to borrow money or sell hotels in order to obtain the funds necessary to pay any such tax. If we cease to be a REIT, we no longer would be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders. Unless our failure to qualify as a REIT was excused under federal income tax laws, we could not re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year following the year in which we failed to qualify.

     A sale of assets acquired from Bristol Hotel Company, or Bristol, within ten years after the merger may result in us incurring corporate income tax. If we sell any asset acquired from Bristol within ten years after our 1998 merger with Bristol, and we recognize a taxable gain on the sale, we will be taxed at the highest corporate rate on an amount equal to the lesser of:

  •   the amount of gain recognized at the time of the sale; or
 
  •   the amount of gain that we would have recognized if we had sold the asset at the time of the Bristol merger for its then fair market value.

     The sales of Bristol hotels that have been made to date have not resulted in any material amount of tax liability to us. If we are successful in selling the hotels that we have designated as sale hotels, the majority of which are Bristol hotels, we could incur corporate income tax with respect to the related built-in gain.

Departure of key personnel, including Mr. Corcoran, would deprive us of the institutional knowledge, expertise and leadership they provide.

     Our management includes four senior-level executive positions, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, currently Mr. Corcoran, and three Executive Vice Presidents. The persons in these positions generally possess institutional knowledge about our organization or the hospitality or real estate industries, have significant expertise in their fields, and possess leadership skills that are important to our operations. The loss of any of our senior executive officers could adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy.

We are subject to the risks of real estate ownership, which could increase our costs of operations.

     General Risks. Our investments in hotels are subject to the numerous risks generally associated with owning real estate, including among others:

  •   adverse changes in general or local economic or real estate market conditions;
 
  •   changes in zoning laws;
 
  •   increases in supply or competition;
 
  •   changes in traffic patterns and neighborhood characteristics;
 
  •   increases in assessed valuation and real estate tax rates;
 
  •   increases in the cost of property insurance;
 
  •   recent and future increases in the cost of wood, steel, concrete and other building materials, which increase the cost of renovations, expansions and new construction;
 
  •   costly governmental regulations and fiscal policies;
 
  •   the potential for uninsured or underinsured property losses;

14


Table of Contents

  •   the potential that we are unable to meet all requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act;
 
  •   the impact of environmental laws and regulations; and
 
  •   other circumstances beyond our control.

Moreover, real estate investments are relatively illiquid, and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio in a timely manner to respond to changes in economic and other conditions.

     Compliance with environmental laws may adversely affect our financial condition. Owners of real estate are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. Under these laws and regulations, a current or former owner of real estate may be liable for the costs of remediating hazardous substances found on its property, whether or not it was responsible for their presence. In addition, if an owner of real property arranges for the disposal of hazardous substances at another site, it may also be liable for the costs of remediating the disposal site, even if it did not own or operate the disposal site. Such liability may be imposed without regard to fault or the legality of a party’s conduct and may, in certain circumstances, be joint and several. A property owner may also be liable to third parties for personal injuries or property damage sustained as a result of its release of hazardous or toxic substances, including asbestos-containing materials, into the environment. Environmental laws and regulations may require us to incur substantial expenses and limit the use of our properties. We could have substantial liability for a failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, which may be enforced by the government or, in certain instances, by private parties. The existence of hazardous substances on a property can also adversely affect the value of, and the owner’s ability to use, sell or borrow against, the property.

     We cannot provide assurances that future or amended laws or regulations, or more stringent interpretations or enforcement of existing environmental requirements, will not impose any material environmental liability, or that the environmental condition or liability relating to the hotels will not be affected by new information or changed circumstances, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of such hotels, such as the presence of leaking underground storage tanks, or by the actions of unrelated third parties.

     Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act may adversely affect our financial condition. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all public accommodations, including hotels, are required to meet certain federal requirements for access and use by disabled persons. Various state and local jurisdictions have also adopted requirements relating to the accessibility of buildings to disabled persons. We believe that our hotels substantially comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other applicable laws. However, a determination that the hotels are not in compliance with these laws could result in liability for both governmental fines and payments to private parties. If we were required to make unanticipated major modifications to our hotels to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws, it could adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and to pay our obligations.

Our charter contains limitations on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock that could adversely affect attempted transfers of our capital stock.

     To maintain our status as a REIT, no more than 50% in value of our outstanding stock may be owned, actually or constructively, under the applicable tax rules, by five or fewer persons during the last half of any taxable year. Our charter prohibits, subject to some exceptions, any person from owning more than 9.9%, as determined in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and the Exchange Act, of the number of outstanding shares of any class of our stock. Our charter also prohibits any transfer of our stock that would result in a violation of the 9.9% ownership limit, reduce the number of stockholders below 100 or otherwise result in our failure to qualify as a REIT. Any attempted transfer of shares in violation of the charter prohibitions will be void, and the intended transferee will not acquire any right in those shares. We have the right to take any lawful action that we believe is necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with these ownership and transfer restrictions and to preserve our status as a REIT, including refusing to recognize any transfer of stock in violation of our charter.

Some provisions in our charter and bylaws and Maryland law make a takeover of us more difficult.

     Ownership Limit. The ownership and transfer restrictions of our charter may have the effect of discouraging or preventing a third party from attempting to gain control of us without the approval of our board of directors. Accordingly, it is less likely that a change in control, even if beneficial to stockholders, could be effected without the approval of our board.

     Staggered Board. Our board of directors is divided into three classes. Directors in each class are elected for terms of three years. As a result, the ability of stockholders to effect a change in control of us through the election of new directors is limited by the inability of stockholders to elect a majority of our board at any particular meeting.

     Authority to Issue Additional Shares. Under our charter, our board of directors may issue up to an aggregate of 20 million shares of preferred stock without stockholder action. The preferred stock may be issued, in one or more series, with the preferences and other terms designated by our board that may delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if the change is in the best interests of stockholders. As of December 31, 2004, we had outstanding 12,880,475 shares of our Series A preferred stock and 67,758 shares, represented by 6,775,800 depositary shares, of our Series B preferred stock.

     Maryland Takeover Statutes. As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to various provisions under the Maryland General Corporation Law, including the Maryland Business Combination Act, that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for the stock or otherwise be in the best interests of stockholders. Under the Maryland business combination statute, some “business combinations,” including some issuances of equity securities, between a Maryland corporation and an “interested stockholder,” which is any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s shares, or an affiliate of that stockholder, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Any of these business combinations must be approved by a stockholder vote meeting two separate super majority requirements, unless, among other conditions, the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined in the statute, for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its common shares. IHG is an interested stockholder. Our charter currently provides that the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act will not apply to any of our existing or future stock. That statute may deny voting rights to shares involved in an acquisition of one-tenth or more of the voting stock of a Maryland corporation. To the extent these or other laws are applicable to us, they may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us even though beneficial to our stockholders.

Item 2. Properties

     We own a diversified portfolio of nationally branded, upscale and full-service hotels managed principally by the brand owners, which are Hilton, IHG, and Starwood. We are competitively positioned, with a strong management team, brand manager alliances, diversified upscale and full-service hotels, and value creation expertise.

     We consider our hotels, generally, to be high quality lodging properties with respect to desirability of location, size, facilities, physical condition, quality and variety of services offered in the markets in which they are located. Our hotels are designed to appeal to a broad range of hotel customers, including frequent business travelers, groups and conventions, as well as leisure travelers. The hotels generally feature comfortable, modern guest rooms, meeting and convention facilities and full-service restaurant and catering facilities. Our hotels included in continuing operations, are located in 31 states and Canada, and are situated primarily in major

     Our hotels have an average of approximately 275 rooms, with six hotels having 500 or more rooms. Although obsolescence arising from age and condition of facilities can adversely affect our hotels, we have invested in excess of $600 million, in the aggregate, during the past six years to upgrade, renovate and/or redevelop our hotels to enhance or maintain their competitive position. We are committed to maintaining the high standards of our hotels. In 2004, we spent $102 million on capital expenditures, including our pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture capital expenditures of $6 million, and spent 5.7% of our consolidated room revenue on maintenance and repair expense.

Hotel Brands

     A key part of our business strategy is to have our hotels managed by one of our brand-owner manager alliances. Our hotels are operated under some of the nation’s most recognized and respected hotel brands. We maintain relationships with our brand owners, who also manage substantially all of our hotels. We are the owner of the largest number of Embassy Suites Hotels, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and independently owned Doubletree-branded hotels.

(1)   We own 100% of the real estate interests unless otherwise noted. Where our ownership interest is less than 100%, the remaining interest is owned by one of the following parties, as noted:

(a) affiliates of Hilton Hotels Corporation

(b) affiliates of Interstate Hotels & Resorts

(c) affiliates of Starwood Hotels and Resorts

(d) Great Plains Investments, LLC; or

(e) other private individuals or partnerships not affiliated with us or any manager or franchisor of the hotel.
 
    With respect to hotels in which we own less than a 100% interest, we serve as the administrative agent or managing member, which allows us to handle administrative functions and to conduct the day-to-day operations of the venture. Generally, however, and in all cases in which we own less than a 51% interest, the consent of the other partner or partners is required to permit us to make major decisions, such as selling or encumbering the hotel, acquiring assets, borrowing money or entering into other capital transactions.
 
(2)   This hotel is encumbered by mortgage debt or capitalized lease obligations.
 
(3)   This hotel was sold subsequent to December 31, 2004.

Management Agreements

     The management agreements governing the operation of 75 of our hotels that are (i) managed by IHG or Starwood under brands owned by them, or (ii) managed by Hilton under the Doubletree brand, contain the right and license to operate the hotels under the specified brands. No separate franchise agreements or payment of separate franchise fees are required for the operation of these hotels.

     Management Fees and Performance Standards. Under the management agreements with IHG for 52 of our hotels operated under Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza names, the TRS lessees generally pay IHG a basic management fee for each hotel equal to 2% of total revenue of the hotel plus 5% of the room revenue of the hotel (which is the equivalent of a franchise fee) for each fiscal month during the initial term and any renewal term. The minimum basic management fees owed under the other management agreements are generally as follows:

  •   Embassy Suites Hotels (56 hotels) — 2% of the hotel’s total revenue per month;
 
  •   Sheraton – Westin (11 hotels) — 2% of the hotel’s total revenue per month; and
 
  •   Doubletree (10 hotels) — between 2% and 3% of the hotel’s total revenue per month.

     Under the management agreements with IHG, the TRS lessees are required to pay an incentive management fee based on the performance of all the managed hotels, considered in the aggregate. The incentive management fee is computed as a percentage of hotel profits in excess of specified returns to us, based on our investment in the managed hotels. The management agreements with the other managers generally provide for an incentive management fee based on a percentage of the TRS lessee’s net income before overhead up to an additional 2% of revenues, on a hotel by hotel basis, or, in the case of seven Embassy Suites Hotels whose management agreements expired in 2004 and were renewed for a five-year term, an incentive management fee measured as a percentage of cash flow, subordinate to a 12% return on our book

     Term and Termination. The management agreements with IHG terminate in 2013 for 48 hotels and 2018 for the remainder. IHG may renew the management agreements under certain circumstances, for one additional five-year term on mutually acceptable terms and conditions. The TRSs may elect not to continue to operate the hotels under the brand beyond the expiration of the initial term; however, that election will give IHG the right to force us to sell that hotel to it at an appraised value. The management agreements with the other managers generally have initial terms of between 10 and 20 years, and the agreements are generally renewable beyond the initial term for a period or periods of between five and 10 years only upon the mutual written agreement of the parties. The management agreements covering our hotels expire, subject to any renewal rights, as follows:

     The management agreements are generally terminable upon the occurrence of standard events of default or if the hotel subject to the agreement fails to meet certain financial expectations. Upon termination by either party for any reason, the TRSs generally will pay all amounts due and owing under the management agreement through the effective date of termination. If an agreement is terminated as a result of a default by us, we may also be liable for damages suffered by the manager. Under the IHG management agreements, if we sell certain hotels, we may be required to pay IHG a monthly replacement management fee equal to the existing fee structure for up to one year. In addition, if a TRS breaches the agreement, resulting in a default and its termination, or otherwise causes or suffers a termination for any reason other than an event of default by IHG, the TRS may be liable for liquidated damages under the terms of the management agreement. However, if the termination results from the sale of a hotel, no liquidated damages will be owed if the net proceeds of the sold hotel are reinvested to purchase additional, or add rooms to existing, hotels licensed and managed by IHG within one year from the sale of the hotel.

     Assignment. Generally, neither party to the management agreements has the right to sell, assign or transfer the agreements to an unaffiliated third party without the prior written consent of the other party to the agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A change in control of either party will generally require the other’s consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

Franchise Agreements

     Other than our 77 hotels, whose license to use a brand name are contained in the management agreement governing their operations, and our hotel that does not operate under a nationally recognized brand name, each of our remaining hotels operates under a separate franchise or license agreement. Of our 71 hotels that are operated under a separate franchise or license agreement, 56 are operated under the Embassy Suites Hotels brand.

Table of Contents

     The Embassy Suites Hotels franchise license agreements to which we are a party grant us the right to the use of the Embassy Suites Hotels name, system and marks with respect to specified hotels and establish various management, operational, record-keeping, accounting, reporting and marketing standards and procedures with which the licensed hotel must comply. In addition, the franchisor establishes requirements for the quality and condition of the hotel and its furnishings, furniture and equipment, and we are obligated to expend such funds as may be required to maintain the hotel in compliance with those requirements.

     Typically, our Embassy Suites Hotels franchise license agreements provide for payment to the franchisor of a license fee or royalty of 4% of suite revenues. In addition, we pay approximately 3.5% of suite revenues as marketing and reservation system contributions for the systemwide benefit of Embassy Suites Hotels. The license fees we paid with respect to hotels in continuing operations, during each of the past three years are as follows:

                           
      License Fees Paid During  
      Year Ended December 31,

     Our typical Embassy Suites Hotels franchise license agreement provides for a term of 20 years, but we have a right to terminate the license for any particular hotel on the 10th or 15th anniversary of the agreement upon payment by us of an amount equal to the fees paid to the franchisor with respect to that hotel during the two preceding years. The agreements provide us with no renewal or extension rights. The agreements are not assignable by us and a change in control of the franchisee will constitute a default on our part. In the event we breach one of these agreements, in addition to losing the right to use the Embassy Suites Hotels name for the operation of the applicable hotel, we may be liable, under certain circumstances, for liquidated damages equal to the fees paid to the franchisor with respect to that hotel during the three preceding years. Franchise license agreements covering 13 of our Embassy Suites Hotels expire within the next five years.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     At December 31, 2004, there was no litigation pending or known to be threatened against us or affecting any of our hotels, other than claims arising in the ordinary course of business or which are not considered to be material. Furthermore, most of these ordinary course of business claims are substantially covered by insurance. We do not believe that any claims known to us, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on us.

Stockholder Information

     At February 15, 2005, we had approximately 360 holders of record of our common stock and approximately 50 holders of record of our Series A preferred stock (which is convertible into common stock). It is estimated that there were approximately 12,000 beneficial owners, in the aggregate, of our common stock and Series A preferred stock at that date.

     IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO OUR QUALIFICATION AS A REIT, OUR CHARTER LIMITS, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS, THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THAT MAY BE OWNED BY ANY SINGLE PERSON OR AFFILIATED GROUP TO 9.9% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK.

     Although we had declared a quarterly common dividend on our common stock from our inception through 2002, as a result of the uncertain geopolitical environment and soft business climate, together with the decline in margins resulting from continued declines in our portfolio’s average daily rate, our board of directors suspended the payment of dividends on our common stock in 2003. We have, however, continued to pay the full accrued dividends on our outstanding preferred stock throughout 2003 and 2004.

     Our current 2005 operating plan contemplates the continued payment of full preferred stock dividends, assuming that our announced expectations of 2005 operating performance are met, but not the resumption of dividends on our common stock. This operating plan, and our policy regarding dividends, may change, depending upon our actual results of operations, our continued ability to meet the incurrence test under our outstanding senior notes, our success in selling non-strategic hotels and other factors. We currently expect our board of directors to consider the amount, if any, to be distributed on a quarterly basis in preferred and common dividends, based upon the actual operating results of that quarter, economic conditions and other operating trends. Accordingly, future distributions, if any, paid by us will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our actual cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

     We did not declare any dividends on FelCor’s common stock during 2003 or 2004.

28


Table of Contents

     In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our taxable income (which does not include net capital gains). For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, distributions to preferred stockholders satisfied our annual distribution requirements. Under certain circumstances we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet REIT distribution requirements. In that event, we presently would expect to borrow funds, or to sell assets for cash, to the extent necessary to obtain cash sufficient to make the distributions required to retain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Issuances Of Unregistered Securities

     During the year ended December 31, 2004, we issued an aggregate of 245,398 shares of our common stock, all of which were issued to holders of FelCor LP units upon redemption of a like number of units. For the foregoing issuances of shares of common stock by us, we relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as each was a transaction not involving a public offering.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

     The following table sets forth as of December 31, 2004, information concerning our equity compensation plans, including the number of shares issuable and available for issuances under our plans, options, warrants and rights; weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights; and the number of securities remaining available for future issuance.

(5)   Although we had declared a quarterly common dividend on our common stock from our inception through 2002, as a result of the uncertain geopolitical environment and soft business climate, together with the decline in margins resulting from continued declines in our portfolio’s average daily rate, our board of directors suspended the payment of dividends on our common stock in 2003. We have, however, continued to pay the full accrued dividends on our outstanding preferred stock throughout 2004 and 2003.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

     We completed 2004 with a 4.9% increase in our hotel revenue per available room, or RevPAR, compared to 2003, in contrast to the unprecedented consecutive three year decline in RevPAR that we had experienced prior to 2004. The fundamentals of the lodging industry appear to be in the early stages of a recovery, as evidenced by the national trend of increasing RevPAR and increasing average daily room rates, or ADR, which are beginning to represent a major portion of the increases in RevPAR.

     During 2004, we reduced our debt outstanding and our weighted average cost of debt through the following capital transactions and use of cash on hand:

  •   We completed the early retirement of $775 million in senior notes:

  º   $600 million of senior notes maturing in 2008 that bore interest at 10%; and
 
  º   $175 million of senior notes maturing in October 2004;

  •   We issued $290 million of floating rate senior notes;

  •   We issued $234 million in mortgage debt; and

  •   We issued $160 million of convertible preferred stock.

     Of the non-strategic hotels previously identified for sale, we sold 17 during 2004 for gross proceeds of $157 million and terminated the lease on one hotel at a cost of $5 million. At December 31, 2004, we had one hotel designated as “held for sale,” which subsequently was sold in January 2005, for $1 million. During the first quarter of 2005, one of the 18 hotels previously identified for sale that remained at year end was placed under a firm sale contract with a non-refundable deposit. We currently expect this sale to close in the late first or early second quarter, generating gross proceeds of approximately $38 million. This will leave us with 17 hotels that have previously been identified for sale, substantially all of which are expected to be sold over the next 18 months with anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $117 million.

RevPAR and Hotel Operating Margin

     In 2004, we had our first year-over-year increase in RevPAR since 2000. For the year, our RevPAR increased 4.9% from $61.89 to $64.91. The increase in RevPAR was comprised of a 3.1% increase in occupancy to 65.5% and a 1.7% increase in average daily room rate, or ADR. We attribute the increase in RevPAR largely to the beginning of a nationwide lodging industry recovery. In 2004, a significant portion of the improvement came from an increase in occupancy; however, over the last six months of 2004, a more significant portion of the increase in RevPAR was derived from the increase in ADR. We expect this trend of increasing RevPAR to continue in 2005 and further believe that improvements in ADR will continue to become an increasing portion of the growth in RevPAR. This is significant to the lodging industry, because increases in room rate generally result in increases in hotel operating margins. We have seen a gradual firming of the hotel operating margins at our hotels, which improved from 19.4% in 2003 to 19.5% in 2004, and we expect to see further improvements in 2005 as ADR continues to become a larger percentage of the RevPAR improvement. Our current hotel operating margins remain well below 2000 levels and present one of our major challenges and opportunities. We are focused on working with our brand managers to control the expense creep that generally occurs during the early years of a lodging industry recovery, to improve our hotel operating margins.

Sale of Non-Strategic Hotels

     In 2003, we completed a comprehensive review of our investment strategy and of our existing hotel portfolio, as a result of which we decided to sell certain under-performing smaller hotels in secondary and tertiary markets, markets with high supply growth, and markets in which we had an undesirable concentration, such as Dallas. We continue to review and evaluate our hotel portfolio on an ongoing basis and may identify additional non-strategic hotels for sale based upon changing market conditions and other factors.

     During 2004, we sold 17 of the non-strategic hotels previously identified for sale, terminated the lease on one hotel, had one hotel under a firm contract of sale with a non-refundable deposit (which was classified as “held for sale” and included in our discontinued operations) leaving 18 non-strategic hotels remaining to be sold at year end, substantially all of which are expected to be sold over the next 18 months. The 17 hotels sold in

Table of Contents

2004 had 4,335 rooms and were sold for aggregate gross proceeds of $157 million. We expect the aggregate gross sale proceeds from the 18 remaining non-strategic hotels previously identified for sale to be approximately $155 million. The composition, by brand, of the 18 hotels identified as held for sale at December 31, 2004, is as follows: Holiday Inn-branded (11 hotels); Embassy Suites (three hotels); Doubletree-branded (two hotels); Hampton Inn (one hotel); and Independent (one hotel).

     The following table summarizes information on hotels sold during 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

                                                 
    Investment     Accumulated     Impairment     Net Investment     Net Sale     Gain (loss)

  $ 212,336     $ 36,255     $ 83,492     $ 92,589     $ 94,965     $ 2,376  

     During the first quarter of 2005, one of the 18 hotels previously identified for sale that remained at year end was placed under a firm sale contract with a non-refundable deposit. We currently expect this sale to close in the late first or early second quarter, generating gross proceeds of approximately $38 million.

     Under the management agreement entered into with IHG in July 2001, we were obligated to reinvest the net proceeds from the sale of any IHG managed hotel in other IHG managed hotels or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG. This potential exposure to liquidated damages made it impractical to sell certain hotels and use the proceeds to pay down debt. In September 2003, we completed an amendment to the IHG management agreement covering 78 of our hotels, pursuant to which we extended the term of the management contracts on 27 hotels from 2013 to 2018 and, in exchange, we received from IHG a liquidated damage credit of $25 million to apply to the satisfaction of liquidated damages otherwise payable to IHG upon the sale of certain IHG managed hotels where the proceeds of sale were applied to the reduction of our debt rather than to reinvestment in IHG managed hotels. At the end of December 2004, we had utilized all of the $25 million liquidated damages credit available to us. Following the full utilization of this credit, we were again required to reinvest the proceeds from the further sale of IHG managed hotels in other hotels to be managed by IHG or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG.

     At March 1, 2005, we had a reinvestment requirement of $17 million. If we do not fulfill this reinvestment obligation within 12 months of the date of sale, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to IHG aggregating $5.3 million. Thirteen of the 18 remaining hotels identified for sale at year end are managed by IHG and subject to the reinvestment obligation in the event that they are sold. We will incur additional aggregate reinvestment obligations of approximately $76 million if these hotels are sold at currently estimated prices or, if the proceeds of sale are not so reinvested, we will incur approximately $19 million in additional liquidated damages for which we would be liable to IHG.

     The 18 non-strategic hotels identified for sale that were included in our continuing operations at December 31, 2004, represented 12% of the rooms in our hotel portfolio, but only 5% of our consolidated hotel operating profit in 2004. The 2004 operating margin for these 18 hotels averaged approximately 1,000 basis points below the remainder of our portfolio.

  Refined Investment Strategy

     We plan to focus our future acquisition efforts on higher quality hotels in markets with significant barriers to entry, such as central business districts and resort locations. Hotel brand and market segment will be secondary concerns when we are considering investment opportunities. We anticipate that this focus will lead to an increase in the number of our upper upscale properties, group and resort destination properties, and greater diversification of our portfolio by geographic location, brand, and customer base. In keeping with this strategy, in March 2004, we purchased the 132-room Santa Monica Holiday Inn. This hotel has a premier location across from the Santa Monica Pier and the Santa Monica beaches and will continue to be operated as a full service upscale hotel.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

     For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a loss applicable to common shareholders of $135 million, compared to a loss in 2003 of $337 million. During 2004 our hotel operating revenue from continuing operations increased by $78 million, reflecting the 4.9% increase in RevPAR for the year. This RevPAR improvement came on the heels of an unprecedented three year decline in our RevPAR, which has resulted in hotel revenues remaining well below historical levels. Also contributing to the current year loss were; $50 million of net costs associated with the early retirement of $775 million in senior notes; $38 million of impairment charges on our hotels; a $5 million charge associated with the early termination of a hotel lease; $2 million of hurricane losses sustained in the third quarter at 13 of our hotels; and a gain of $12 million from the development and sale of the 251-unit Margate condominium tower at the Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

     Our revenues from continuing operations for 2004 were $1.2 billion, which reflected a 7% increase, over 2003. The increase in revenues principally resulted from the 4.9% increase in hotel RevPAR. Our hotel portfolio occupancy increased by 3.1% over the prior year and its ADR increased by 1.7%. We attribute the increase in RevPAR to the general firming of the US economy resulting in increased business travel, from which we derive a significant portion of out hotel business. Business travelers generally pay a higher room rate than other types of hotel guests and, as business travel increases, we are able to accept smaller amounts of lower room rate business.

     Also contributing to the increase in revenues for 2004 was the consolidation of our eight-hotel joint venture with Interstate Hotels & Resorts in June 2003 and the acquisition in March 2004 of the Holiday Inn in Santa Monica, California. These hotels contributed $13 million of our consolidated revenues in 2003 and $29 million in 2004.

     The hotel operating margin of our hotels included in continuing operations at December 31, 2004, was 19.5% compared to 19.4% in 2003. The slight increase in hotel operating margins is attributed primarily to decreases in property tax and insurance expenses, which were largely offset by increased labor related costs. Property tax expense decreased in 2004, compared to 2003, largely from reductions in assessed values and resolution of prior years’ property tax appeals. The reduction in insurance expense, compared to prior year, reflects the softening in the property insurance markets and reductions in general liability losses.

     Our interest expense included in continuing operations decreased by 9%, to $150 million, as compared to 2003. The reduction in interest expense is related to a $270 million reduction in outstanding debt and a reduction in our weighted average interest rate by 23 basis points, compared to 2003. The change in debt outstanding and the reduction in average interest rate resulted from the capital transactions described above under the caption “General.”

     The impairment charge of $38 million recorded in 2004 related to 17 hotels, with $34 million being included in continuing operations and $4 million being recorded in discontinued operations. Seven of the hotels had significantly lower operating cash flows, compared to the prior year and budget, and their estimated holding periods were reduced. With respect to one hotel, we entered into an option to sell it for less than its book value and for six hotels, whose expected holding periods had been shortened, we recorded an impairment loss to reduce their carrying value to our then current estimate of fair value. In 2003, we had recorded impairment charges of $246 million, $108 million of which was recorded in continuing operations, $138 million of which was recorded in discontinued operations and $2 million was recorded in equity in income from unconsolidated entities.

     At December 31, 2004, the 18 hotels included in continuing operations that had been identified for sale, represented 12% of the rooms in our hotel portfolio, but only 5% of our consolidated hotel operating profit, in 2004. The 2004 hotel operating margin for these 18 hotels averaged 1,000 basis points below the remainder of our portfolio.

     During 2004 we completed the early retirement of $775 million of senior notes. Associated with this early retirement we recorded a charge-off of deferred financing costs of $7 million, a loss on early retirement of debt (representing the premium paid at retirement) of $44 million and we had a gain of $1 million related to the termination of an interest rate swap on a portion of these notes.

     Equity in income from unconsolidated entities increased $15 million compared to 2003. The principal component of this increase was our portion of the gain on the development and sale of the Margate condominium tower at the Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, by an unconsolidated entity in which we owned a 50% interest.

     Included in the loss from discontinued operations are the results of operations of the 18 hotels disposed of in 2004, the one hotel designated as held for sale at December 31, 2004, and the 16 hotels sold in 2003.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

     For the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a loss applicable to common shareholders of $337 million, compared to a loss in 2002 of $205 million. The principal components of the loss in 2003 were: impairment charges of $246 million, primarily related to our decision to sell 18 additional hotels over the next two years; the decrease in hotel RevPAR of 4.0%, compared to 2002; and a 380 basis point decrease in hotel operating margin, and increases in workers compensation and employee health insurance, compared to 2002.

     Our revenues from continuing operations for the full year 2003 were $1.1 billion, which reflected a decline of 3.0%, compared to 2002. This decline in revenue principally resulted from a 4.0% decline in hotel portfolio RevPAR, compared to 2002. Occupancy decreased 0.4%, to 63.6%, and ADR decreased 3.6%, to $97.38, compared to 2002. We attribute the decrease in ADR principally to the continued weakness in corporate travel, from which we derive a significant portion of our hotel business. Business travelers generally pay a higher room rate than other types of hotel guests and, in an effort to maintain hotel occupancies, we have been accepting a larger amount of lower room rate business, which adversely affects our operating margins.

     The revenue decrease related to the RevPAR decline during 2003 was partially offset by $13 million of increased revenues from the consolidation of our joint venture with Interstate Hotels & Resorts, and the operating results of its eight hotels, in June 2003. This joint venture had been previously accounted for by the equity method.

     The hotel operating margin of our hotels included in continuing operations at December 31, 2003, was 19.4%, which represents a 380 basis point decrease, compared to 2002. The 2003 decrease in operating margin principally resulted from the $3.65, or 3.6% decline in ADR during the year. The decrease in ADR, together with the slight decrease in occupancy, meant that our hotels served approximately the same number of guests in 2003 as in 2002, but with lower revenues. In addition, increases in health and workers compensation insurance and energy costs further decreased our operating margins, compared to 2002.

     We recorded impairment losses of $246 million in 2003 ($108 million of which was included in continuing operations and $138 million were included in discontinued operations) and $158 million in 2002 ($33 million of which was included in continuing operations and $125 million were included in discontinued operations). The impairment losses in 2003 and 2002 principally resulted from our decision to sell non-strategic hotels and reflects the difference between the book value and the current estimated fair market value of these hotels. After the completion of a comprehensive review of our investment strategy and our hotel portfolio, we refined our investment strategy and decided to sell smaller hotels in secondary and tertiary markets, emphasize the acquisition of higher quality hotels in low supply growth markets, and better diversify our portfolio by geographic market, brand, and customer base.

     Discontinued operations represent the hotel operating income, direct interest costs, impairment losses and gains or losses on sale of the 18 hotels disposed of in 2004, the one hotel designated as held for sale at December 31, 2004, and 16 hotels sold during 2003.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

     We refer in this annual report on Form 10-K to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including FFO, EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin, are measures of our financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Immediately following the reconciliations, we include a discussion of why we believe these measures are useful supplemental measures of our performance and of the limitations upon such measures.

     Substantially all of our non-current assets consist of real estate. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider supplemental measures of performance, which are not measures of operating performance under GAAP, to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. These supplemental measures, including FFO, EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin, are not measures of operating performance under GAAP. However, we consider these non-GAAP measures to be supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of our operating performance.

FFO and EBITDA

     The White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT,”) defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. This may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

     EBITDA is a commonly used measure of performance in many industries. We define EBITDA as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDA on the same basis.

Hotel Operating Profit and Operating Margin

     Hotel operating profit and operating margin are commonly used measures of performance in the hotel industry and give investors a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our individual hotels and operating managers have direct control. We believe that hotel operating profit and operating margin is useful to investors by providing greater transparency with respect to two significant measures used by us in our financial and operational decision-making. Additionally, using these measures facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. We present hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin by eliminating corporate-level expenses, depreciation and expenses related to our capital structure. We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management in running our business on a property-level basis. We eliminate depreciation and amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are property-level expenses, these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets, implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

     Our management and Board of Directors use FFO and EBITDA to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other lodging REITs, hotel owners who are not REITs and other capital intensive companies. We use hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin in evaluating hotel-level performance and the operating efficiency of our hotel managers.

     The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. FFO, EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to FFO, EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin as calculated by other real estate companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation, interest and capital expenditures. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.

     These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Neither should FFO, FFO per share or EBITDA be considered as measures of our liquidity or indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions or service our debt. FFO per share does not measure, and should not be used as a measure of, amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders. FFO, EBITDA, hotel operating profit and hotel operating margin reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to stockholders and repayments of indebtedness, is from the results of operations of our hotels. For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash flow provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of hotel operations, was $33 million. At December 31, 2004, we had cash on hand of $119 million. Included in cash on hand was $28 million held under our hotel management agreements to meet our hotel minimum working capital requirements.

     We currently expect that our cash flow provided by operating activities for 2005 will be approximately $119 million to $126 million. These cash flow forecasts assume a RevPAR increase of 5% to 6%, hotel operating margin of 19.9% to 20.2%, and the sale of one hotel for $38 million. Our current operating plan contemplates that we will make preferred dividend payments of $40 million, capital expenditures of approximately $100 million, debt maturities of $11 million (which we currently anticipate refinancing), and $22 million in normal recurring principal payments, leaving a cash flow shortfall of approximately $9 million to $16 million. We expect the cash necessary to fund this cash flow shortfall and distributions, if any, on our common stock, will come from our cash balances or the proceeds from the sale of hotels. We anticipate that our board of directors will develop a policy with respect to the payment of common dividends during 2005, and to determine the amount of preferred and common dividends, if any, for each quarterly period, based upon the actual operating results of that quarter, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as the minimum REIT distribution requirements.

     Events, including the threat of additional terrorist attacks, U.S. military involvement in the Middle East and the bankruptcy of several major corporations, had an adverse impact on the capital markets in prior years. Similar events, such as new terrorist attacks or additional bankruptcies could further adversely affect the availability and cost of capital for our business. In addition, should the recovery of the overall economy and of the lodging industry stall, that could also adversely affect our operating cash flow and the availability and cost of capital for our business.

     As a consequence of the recent prolonged economic slowdown from 2001 through 2003, its impact on the travel and lodging industries, and our higher secured debt levels, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s lowered their ratings on our senior unsecured debt in 2003, to B1 and B-, respectively. This downgrade triggered a 50 basis point step-up in interest rates applicable to $300 million of our senior unsecured debt outstanding at December 31, 2004. The obligation to pay this increased interest rate will continue to be in effect unless and until either Moody’s raises its rating on our senior unsecured debt to Ba3 or Standard & Poor’s increases its rating to BB-.

     We are also subject to the risks of fluctuating hotel operating margins at our hotels, including but not limited to increases in wage and benefit costs, repair and maintenance expenses, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses that can fluctuate disproportionately to revenues. These operating expenses are difficult to predict and control, resulting in an increased risk of volatility in our results of operations. The recent economic slowdown that began in 2001, led to a sharp drop in occupancy and ADR resulting both in declines in RevPAR and in the erosion in our operating margins through 2003. Our operating margins from continuing operations have dropped from 23.2% in 2002 to 19.4% in 2003 and increased slightly to 19.5% in 2004. If our hotel RevPAR and/or operating margins worsen, or continue at current levels for a protracted time, they could have a material adverse effect on our operations, earnings and cash flow.

     In March 2004, we elected to terminate our line of credit, which resulted in a charge-off of unamortized loan costs of $0.2 million and produced cash savings of approximately $0.4 million during 2004. At the date of termination of the line of credit, there were no borrowings under the line, and we were in compliance with all the applicable covenants.

     In April 2004, we completed the sale of 4,600,000 shares of our $1.95 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares were sold at a price of $23.79 per share, which included accrued dividends of $0.51 per share through April 5, 2004, resulting in net proceeds to us of $105 million. In August 2004, we completed the sale of an additional 2,300,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock. These shares were sold at a price of $23.22 per share, which included accrued dividends of $0.28 per share through August 22, 2004, resulting in proceeds to us of $52 million. The proceeds of both offerings were used to retire senior unsecured debt.

     In May 2004, we issued $175 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Notes due 2011, or 2011 Notes. We received net proceeds of $174.1 million. The 2011 Notes will mature on June 1, 2011 and bear interest, adjusted semi annually, at the six-month LIBOR rate, plus 4.25%. The Notes are callable on or after December 1, 2006, and will rank equally with our other existing senior unsecured debt. In July 2004, we issued an additional $115 million of the 2011 Notes. The proceeds were used to retire senior unsecured debt.

     In June 2004, we redeemed all $175 million in principal amount of our outstanding 7.375% Senior Notes due 2004. The redemption price was $1,018.14 per $1,000 of the principal amount plus accrued interest. With the retirement of this debt, we recorded a loss on redemption of $3 million and wrote off $0.3 million of debt issue costs. The loss was partially offset by a $1 million gain on the termination of interest rate swaps tied to this debt.

     During 2004, we purchased all $600 million principal amount of our 9.5% Senior Notes due 2008 (which bore interest at 10% as a result of the 2003 downgrade of the credit ratings on our senior notes) through tender offers, redemptions and purchases in the open market. With the retirement of this debt, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $41 million, of which $38 million related to the premium paid in

excess of par and $3 million related to the charge off of unamortized discount. We also wrote off debt issue costs of $6 million.

     In June 2003, we entered into a new secured delayed draw facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank for up to $200 million. In 2004, we borrowed $194 million under this facility (collateralized by 15 hotels). The amount borrowed under the facility was converted into: (i) $107 million under nine separate fixed rate CMBS loans secured by nine hotels, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.5% and with maturity dates ranging from 2009 to 2014, and (ii) $87 million under a cross-collateralized floating rate CMBS loan secured by six hotels with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.11% and with a maturity date of 2009, including extension options which are subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. On July 28, 2004, we cancelled the unused balance of this $200 million facility.

     In December 2004, we closed on $40 million second mortgage financing with regard to seven of our hotels. The second mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.82% and contains the same terms and conditions as the first mortgage, including the maturity date of March 2009.

     At December 31, 2004, we had aggregate mortgage indebtedness of $1.1 billion that was secured by 79 of our consolidated hotels, with an aggregate book value of $1.8 billion. Substantially all of this debt is recourse solely to the specific assets securing the debt, except in the case of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse provisions. Loans secured by 41 hotels provide for lock-box arrangements. With respect to loans secured by 23 of these hotels, if the debt service coverage ratios fall below certain levels, the lender is entitled to apply the revenues from the hotels securing the loan to satisfy current requirements for debt service, taxes, insurance and other reserves, before the balance of the revenues, if any, would be available to the owner to pay the expenses of hotel operations and provide a return to the owner. Eight of these 23 hotels, which accounted for 2% of our total revenues in 2004, are currently below the prescribed debt service coverage ratios and are subject to these lock-box requirements. These eight hotels, in the aggregate, are currently covering their hotel operating expenses, before capital expenditures.

     With respect to loans secured by the remaining 18 hotels, the owner is permitted to retain 115% of budgeted hotel operating expenses before the remaining revenues would become subject to a similar lock-box arrangement if a specified debt service coverage ratio is not met. The mortgage loans secured by 16 of these 18 hotels also provide that, so long as the debt service coverage ratios remain below a second, even lower minimum level, the lender may retain any excess cash (after deduction for the 115% of budgeted operating expenses, debt service, tax, insurance and other reserve requirements) and, if the debt service coverage ratio remains below this lower minimum level for 12 consecutive months, any accumulated excess cash may be applied to the prepayment of the principal amount of the debt. If the debt service coverage ratio exceeds the lower minimum level for three consecutive months, any then accumulated excess cash will be returned to the owner. Ten of these 18 hotels, which accounted for 6% of our total revenues in 2004, are currently below the applicable debt service coverage ratio and are subject to the lock-box provisions. None of the hotels are currently below the second, even lower minimum debt service coverage ratio that would permit the lender to retain excess cash after deduction for the 115% of budgeted operating expenses, debt service, tax, insurance and other reserve requirements.

     Most of our mortgage debt is non-recourse to us and contains provisions allowing for the substitution of collateral upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Most of our mortgage debt is prepayable, subject to various prepayment penalties, yield maintenance or defeasance obligations.

     Our publicly-traded senior unsecured notes require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and an interest coverage tests in order to: incur additional indebtedness except to refinance maturing debt with replacement debt, as defined under our indentures; pay dividends in excess of the minimum dividend required to meet the REIT qualification test; repurchase capital stock; or merge. As of the date of this filing, we have satisfied all such tests. Under the terms of certain of our indentures, we are prohibited from repurchasing any of our capital stock, whether common or preferred, subject to certain exceptions, so long as our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the indentures, exceeds 4.85 to 1. Debt, as defined in the indentures, approximates our consolidated debt. EBITDA is defined in the indentures as consolidated GAAP net income, adjusted for minority interest in FelCor LP, actual cash distributions by unconsolidated entities, gains or losses from asset sales, dividends on preferred stock and extraordinary gains and losses (as defined at the date of the

44


Table of Contents

indentures), plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense and other non-cash items. Our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined, was 4.8 to 1, 6.0 to 1 and 5.3 to 1 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The ratio increased in 2002 and 2003 principally because of the decline in our EBITDA as a result of the recession that began in March of 2001 and was exacerbated by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. These events contributed to a deep and protracted recession in the hospitality industry. Our EBITDA has also decreased due to the sale of non-strategic hotels. Although our current debt-to-EDITDA ratio is slightly below 4.85 to 1, a decline in our EBITDA, as a result of asset sales or adverse economic developments, or an increase in our debt, could again make us subject to this limitation. Accordingly, we may again be prohibited from purchasing any of our capital stock, except as permitted under limited exceptions, such as from the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance of other capital stock.

     If actual operating results fall significantly below our current expectations, as reflected in our current public guidance, or if interest rates increase substantially above expected levels, we may be unable to continue to satisfy the incurrence test under the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes. In such an event, we may be prohibited from, among other things, incurring any additional indebtedness, except under certain specific exceptions, or paying dividends on our preferred or common stock, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT qualification requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our taxable income. In the event of our failure of this incurrence test, based upon our current estimates of taxable income for 2005, we would be unable to distribute the full amount of dividends accruing under our outstanding preferred stock in 2005 and, accordingly, could pay no dividends on our common stock.

     We currently anticipate that we will meet our financial covenant and incurrence tests under the RevPAR guidance provided by us at our fourth quarter earnings conference call on February 10, 2005. For the first quarter of 2005, we currently anticipate that our portfolio RevPAR will be 4% to 5% above the comparable period of the prior year. The RevPAR increase in 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004, was approximately 7.1% for January and 7.3% for February 2005. We currently anticipate that full year 2005 hotel portfolio RevPAR will increase approximately 5% to 6%. For 2005 we expect to make capital expenditures of approximately $100 million, and we are currently under contract to sell one hotel for $38 million, which is expected to close in March 2005. We estimate that our net loss for 2005 will be in the range of $35 to $29 million or $0.59 to $0.49 per share. FFO for the year 2005, is anticipated to be within the range of $70 to $76 million, and EBITDA is expected to be within the range of $259 to $265 million. No other asset sales or capital transactions are assumed in the preparation of our guidance.

     At December 31, 2004, we had three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $100 million, maturing in December 2007. The interest rate received on these interest rate swaps is 4.25% plus LIBOR and the interest rate paid is 7.80%.

     During 2004, we spent an aggregate of $102 million on capital expenditures, including our pro rata share of capital improvements made by our unconsolidated joint ventures.

Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     At December 31, 2004, we had unconsolidated 50% investments in ventures that own an aggregate of 20 hotels (referred to as hotel joint ventures), and we had unconsolidated 50% investments in ventures that operate four of those 20 hotels (referred to as operating joint ventures). We own 100% of the lessees operating three hotels owned by the hotel joint ventures, 51% of the lessees operating 12 hotels owned by the hotel joint ventures and one hotel joint venture is operated without a lease. We also owned a 50% interest in entities that provide condominium management services and develop condominiums in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. None of our directors, officers or employees owns any interest in any of these joint ventures or entities. The hotel joint ventures had $218 million of non-recourse mortgage debt relating to the 20 hotels. This debt is not reflected as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet.

     Our liability with regard to non-recourse debt and the liability of our subsidiaries that are members or partners in joint ventures are generally limited to the guarantee of the borrowing entity’s obligations to pay for the lender’s losses caused by misconduct, fraud or misappropriation of funds by the venture and other typical exceptions from the non-recourse provisions in the mortgages, such as for environmental liabilities.

     We have recorded equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities of $17 million, including a gain of $11 million related to the development and sale of condominiums, $2 million, and $(10) million, including an impairment loss of $13 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and received distributions of $23 million (of which $11 million was provided by operations and $12 million was provided by investing activities), $9 million, and $11 million for the years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The principal source of income for our hotel joint ventures is percentage lease revenue from the operating lessees. We own 51% of the operating lessees for 12 of the hotel joint ventures and 100% of the operating lessees for three of the hotel joint ventures. The three 100% owned operating lessees incurred aggregate net losses, which were included in our consolidated statements of operations, of $2 million during the past three years.

     Capital expenditures on the hotels owned by our hotel joint ventures are generally paid from their capital reserve account, which is funded from the income from operations of these ventures. However, if a venture has insufficient cash flow to meet operating expenses or make necessary capital improvements, the venture may make a capital call upon the venture members or partners to fund such necessary improvements. It is possible that, in the event of a capital call, the other joint venture member or partner may be unwilling or unable to make the necessary capital contributions. Under such circumstances, we may elect to make the other party’s contribution as a loan to the venture or as an additional capital contribution by us. Under certain

47


Table of Contents

circumstances, a capital contribution by us may increase our equity investment to greater than 50% and may require that we consolidate the venture, including all of its assets and liabilities, into our consolidated financial statements.

     With respect to those ventures that are partnerships, any of our subsidiaries that serve as a general partner will be liable for all of the recourse obligations of the venture, to the extent that the venture does not have sufficient assets or insurance to satisfy the obligations. In addition, the hotels owned by these ventures could perform below expectations and result in the insolvency of the ventures and the acceleration of their debts, unless the members or partners provide additional capital. In some ventures, the members or partners may be required to make additional capital contributions or have their interest in the venture be reduced or offset for the benefit of any party making the required investment on their behalf. We may be faced with the choice of losing our investment in a venture or investing additional capital under circumstances that do not assure a return on that investment.

     Interstate Hotels & Resorts, which is our venture partner in the ownership of eight hotels, declined to make further capital contributions to the venture beginning in 2004. In order to sustain this venture, we made $3 million in advances in 2004, and an additional $1 million in 2005, with a priority in right (but no assurance) of return. We have received a request for additional funding of $2.5 million; however, we have determined that it is not in our best interest to continue funding the further cash shortfalls related to this venture, and have notified the lender to that effect. This venture, which we consolidate, currently has $49 million in non-recourse debt secured by the eight hotels owned by the venture. We have written down our investment in this venture, one of which is to surrender the hotels to the lender. We do not expect any such action to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     At December 31, 2004, approximately 75% of our consolidated debt had fixed interest rates. In some cases, market rates of interest are below the rates we are obligated to pay on our fixed-rate debt.

     The following tables provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and debt obligations. For debt obligations, the tables present scheduled maturities and weighted average interest rates, by maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the tables present the notional amount and weighted average interest rate, by contractual maturity date. The fair value of our fixed rate debt indicates the estimated principal amount of debt having the same debt service requirements that could have been borrowed at the date presented, at then current market interest rates. The fair value of our fixed to variable interest rate swaps indicates the estimated amount that would have been received or paid by us had the swaps been terminated at the date presented.

(a)   The average floating rate of interest represents the implied forward rate in the yield curve at December 31, 2003.
 
(b)   The interest rate swaps decreased our interest expense by $7 million during 2003.

     Swap contracts, such as described above, contain a credit risk, in that the counterparties may be unable to fulfill the terms of the agreement. We minimize that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of our counterparties, who are limited to major banks and financial institutions, and we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. The Standard & Poor’s credit ratings for each of the financial institutions that are counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements are AA-.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act Compliance

     During 2004, we devoted an extraordinary amount of internal resources to assure the proper documentation, testing and assessment of our internal control structure, to assure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition to the commitment of internal resources, we estimate that we spent approximately $1 million during 2004 related to this compliance effort. At least a portion of these compliance related costs should not recur in future years.

     For a more detailed discussion of our internal controls and procedures, and of management’s assessment of the effectiveness thereof, see Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Inflation

     Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures may, however, require us to reduce room rates in the near term and may limit our ability to raise room rates in the future. We are also subject to the risk that inflation will cause increases in hotel operating expenses disproportionately to revenues.

Seasonality

     The lodging business is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues are greater in the second and third calendar quarters than in the first and fourth calendar quarters, although this may not be true for hotels in major tourist destinations. Revenues for hotels in tourist areas generally are substantially greater during tourist season than other times of the year. Seasonal variations in revenue at our hotels can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenues. Quarterly earnings also may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenues, we may utilize cash on hand or borrowings to satisfy our obligations or make distributions to our equity holders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

     On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, the carrying value of investments in hotels, litigation, and other contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

  •   We are required by GAAP to record an impairment charge when we believe that an investment in one or more of our hotels has been impaired, such that future undiscounted cash flows would not recover the book basis, or net book value, of the investment. We test for impairment when certain events occur, including one or more of the following: projected cash flows are significantly less than recent historical cash flows; significant changes in legal factors or actions by a regulator that could affect the value of our hotels; events that could cause changes or uncertainty in travel patterns; and a current expectation that, more likely than not, a hotel will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. In 2004, we identified two hotels, in 2003, we identified 18 hotels, and in 2002 we identified 33 hotels, that we expect to sell. The shorter probable holding periods related to our decision to sell these hotels was the primary factor that led to impairment charges on these hotels. As we sell these hotels, we may recognize additional losses or gains on sale. In the evaluation of impairment of our hotel assets, and in establishing the impairment charge, we made many assumptions and estimates on a hotel by hotel basis, which included the following:

  º   Annual cash flow growth rates for revenues and expenses;
 
  º   Holding periods;
 
  º   Expected remaining useful lives of assets;
 
  º   Estimates in fair values taking into consideration future cash flows, capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices; and
 
  º   Future capital expenditures.

Changes in these estimates, future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying hotels could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the hotels that may not be reflected in the hotel’s current carrying value, thereby requiring additional impairment charges in the future.

Table of Contents

  •   We own a 50% interest in various real estate joint ventures reported under the equity method of accounting. In accordance with GAAP, we record an impairment of these equity method investments when they experience an other than temporary decline in value. Changes in our estimates or future adverse changes in the market conditions of the hotels owned by equity method investments could result in additional declines in value that could be considered other than temporary.
 
  •   We make estimates with respect to contingent liabilities for losses covered by insurance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 5, Accounting for Contingencies. We record liabilities for self insured losses under our insurance programs when it becomes probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of our financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In 2002, we initially became self-insured for the first $250,000, per occurrence, of our general liability claims with regard to 68 of our hotels. At December 31, 2004, we had 79 of our hotels participating in this program. We review the adequacy of our reserves for our self-insured claims on a regular basis. Our reserves are intended to cover the estimated ultimate uninsured liability for losses with respect to reported and unreported claims incurred as of the end of each accounting period. These reserves represent estimates at a given accounting date, generally utilizing projections based on claims, historical settlement of claims and estimates of future costs to settle claims. Estimates are also required since there may be reporting lags between the occurrence of the insured event and the time it is actually reported. Because establishment of insurance reserves is an inherently uncertain process involving estimates, currently established reserves may not be sufficient. If our insurance reserves of $4 million, at December 31, 2004, for general liability losses are insufficient, we will record an additional expense in future periods. Property and catastrophic losses are event-driven losses and, as such, until a loss occurs and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, no liability is recorded. We had recorded no contingent liabilities with regard to property or catastrophic losses at December 31, 2004.
 
  •   SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended by SFAS 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,” establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. In accordance with these pronouncements, all of our interest rate swap agreements outstanding at December 31, 2004, were designated as cash flow hedges because they are hedging our exposure to the changes in interest payments on our floating rate debt. These instruments are adjusted to our estimate of their fair market value through accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. We estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps and fixed rate debt through the use of a third party valuation. We may use other methods and assumptions to validate the fair market value. At December 31, 2004, our estimate of the fair market value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $0.1 million and represents the amount that we estimate we would currently receive upon termination of these instruments, based on current market rates and reasonable assumptions about relevant future market conditions.
 
  •   Our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries, or TRSs, have cumulative potential future tax deductions totaling $349 million. The gross deferred income tax asset associated with these potential future tax deductions was $133 million. We have recorded a valuation allowance equal to 100% of our $133 million deferred tax asset related to our TRSs, because of the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the deferred tax asset. SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. In accordance with SFAS 109, we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase operating income in the period such determination was made.

Recent Accounting Announcements

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No.123R”) which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”). SFAS No. 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB Opinion No. 25”) and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to record compensation expense for share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, at fair value. SFAS No. 123R is effective for most public companies at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. We believe that the implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 123R will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” The statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We believe that the implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 153 will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K include “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties, and the occurrence of future events, may cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. General economic conditions, including the timing and magnitude of the current recovery in the economy, the realization of anticipated job growth, the impact of U.S. military involvement in the Middle East and elsewhere, future acts of terrorism, the impact on the travel industry of increased security precautions, the availability of capital, the ability to effect sales of non-strategic hotels at anticipated prices, and numerous other factors may affect our future results, performance and achievements. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail under “Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results” in Item 1 above, or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe our current expectations to be based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained or that actual results will not differ materially.

     Information and disclosures regarding market risks applicable to us are incorporated herein by reference to the discussion under “Item 7.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

     Under the supervision and with the participation of FelCor’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

     There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

     Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, our internal control over financial reporting is effective, based on those criteria.

     Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm as stated in their report, which appears on page F-2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9B. Other Information

     On October 26, 2004, pursuant to a recommendation of the Compensation Committee, our board of directors modified the compensation payable to our non-employee directors commencing in 2005. Each non-employee director will receive for his or her annual service a base amount of $35,000, or $40,000 for any member of the Audit Committee other than the Chairman and $45,000 for the Chairman of the Audit Committee, payable in common stock. In addition, each director not otherwise being compensated by us will receive $1,000 for each Board of Directors meeting attended in person and $500 for each additional telephonic meeting in which he or she participates, payable in common stock or cash, at each director’s election.

     Each of our non-employee directors will also receive additional compensation for service on particular committees, all payable either in common stock or cash, at each director’s election. If a member of the Audit Committee attends more than five Audit Committee meetings during the year, he or she will receive $1,000 for each additional meeting attended in person and $500 for each additional telephonic meeting in which he or she participates. Members of the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Executive Committees will receive $1,000 for each meeting of the respective committees attended in person and $500 for each telephonic meeting of the respective committees attended telephonically.

     Finally, each of our non-employee directors will receive for their service an annual equity award equal to the lesser of (i) 2,000 shares of our common stock or (ii) the number of shares of our common stock equal to $20,000 for 2005, $25,000 for 2006, $30,000 for 2007, $35,000 for 2008 and $40,000 for 2009 and thereafter.

53


Table of Contents

     The compensation payable for the prior fiscal year to non-employee directors will be determined at the first meeting of the Board of Directors following the end of the fiscal year. With respect to compensation payable in common stock, all shares of common stock will be issued under one or more of the Company’s Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plans, but such shares will be fully vested upon the date of grant. The number of shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing (i) the applicable dollar amount (including amounts for which the director has elected to receive common stock), by (ii) the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, and rounded to the nearest whole lot of 100 shares

     Also on October 26, 2004, the Compensation Committee approved the terms of compensation payable to our new Chief Financial Officer, Richard A. Smith. Included in that compensation was an initial grant of 150,000 shares of restricted stock. The shares were issued under the Company’s 2001 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan and will be subject to vesting as follows: 50,000 shares vested on January 1, 2005; and the balance will vest at the rate of 20,000 shares per year from January 1, 2006 through January 1, 2010, subject to his continued employment with us. The shares were issued through means of our standard form of employee stock grant contract.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated:

We have completed an integrated audit of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated’s 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits of its 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Internal control over financial reporting

Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing in Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. Organization

     In 1994, FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, or FelCor, went public as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, with six hotels and a market capitalization of $120 million. We are now the nation’s second largest lodging REIT based on total assets and number of hotels owned, holding ownership interests in 149 hotels at December 31, 2004. We are the owner of the largest number of Embassy Suites Hotels®, Crowne Plaza® and independently owned Doubletree®-branded hotels in North America. Our portfolio also includes 69 full, all-suite hotels.

     FelCor is the sole general partner of, and the owner of an approximately 95% limited partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP. All of our operations are conducted solely through FelCor LP, or its subsidiaries.

     At December 31, 2004, we had ownership interests in 149 hotels. We owned a 100% real estate interest in 112 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owning seven hotels, a 60% interest in an entity owning two hotels, a 51% interest in an entity owning eight hotels and 50% interests in unconsolidated entities that own 20 hotels. As a result of our ownership interests in the operating lessees of 144 of these hotels, we reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Effective July 1, 2004, we transferred a 49% interest in the lessee of 12 jointly-owned hotels to our joint venture partner, which will share proportionately in the income or loss of the lessee with respect to these hotels. As of December 31, 2004, we own 100% of the consolidated operating lessees of 129 hotels and 51% of the consolidated operating lessees of 20 hotels. The operations of 143 of the 144 hotels were included in continuing operations at December 31, 2004. The remaining hotel was held for sale as of December 31, 2004, and its operations are included in discontinued operations. The operating revenues and expenses of the remaining five hotels are unconsolidated.

     At December 31, 2004, we had 59,817,304 shares of FelCor common stock and 2,788,135 units of FelCor LP limited partnership interest outstanding.

     The following table reflects the distribution, by brand, of the 143 hotels included in our consolidated hotel continuing operations at December 31, 2004:

                 
Brand   Hotels     Rooms  
Embassy Suites Hotels
    56       14,279  
Doubletree and Doubletree Guest Suites®
    10       2,206  
Holiday Inn® – branded
    39       12,769  
Crowne Plaza and Crowne Plaza Suites®
    12       4,025  
Sheraton® and Sheraton Suites®
    10       3,269  
Other brands
    16       3,432  
 
             
Total hotels
    143          
 
             

     The hotels shown in the above table are located in the United States (31 states) and Canada (two hotels), with concentrations in Texas (31 hotels), California (19 hotels), Florida (16 hotels) and Georgia (14 hotels). Approximately 56% of our hotel room revenues were generated from hotels in these four states during 2004.

     At December 31, 2004, of the 143 consolidated hotels included in continuing operations, (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels corporation, or Hilton, managed 66, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed 55, (iii) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed 11, (iv) subsidiaries of Interstate Hotels & Resorts, or Interstate, managed 10, and (v) an independent management company manages one.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information to conform to the current period’s presentation with no effect to previously reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Principles of Consolidation – Our accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities (50 percent owned ventures) are accounted for by the equity method.

     Use of Estimates – The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.

     Investment in Hotels – Our hotels are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings, 15 to 20 years for improvements and three to seven years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment.

     We periodically review the carrying value of each of our hotels to determine if circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value of the investment in the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, we prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows over the shorter of the hotel’s estimated useful life or the expected hold period, without interest charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we make an adjustment to reduce carrying value of the hotel to its then fair value. We use recent operating results and current market information to arrive at our estimates of fair value.

     Maintenance and repairs are expensed and major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and the related gain or loss is included in operations.

     Acquisition of Hotels – Our hotel acquisitions consist almost exclusively of land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and inventory. We allocate the purchase price among these asset classes based upon their respective values determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, 141, “Business Combinations.” When we acquire properties, we acquire them for use. The only intangible assets typically acquired consist of miscellaneous operating agreements all of which are of short duration and at market rates. We do not generally acquire any significant in-place leases or other intangible assets (e.g., management agreements, franchise agreements or trademarks) when we acquire hotels. In conjunction with the acquisition of a hotel, we typically negotiate new franchise and management agreements with the selected brand owner and manager.

     Investment in Unconsolidated Entities – We own a 50% interest in various real estate ventures in which the partners or members jointly make all material decisions concerning the business affairs and operations. Additionally, we also own a preferred equity interest in one of these real estate ventures. Because we do not control these entities, we carry our investment in unconsolidated entities at cost, plus our equity in net earnings or losses, less distributions received since the date of acquisition and any adjustment for impairment. Our equity in net earnings or losses is adjusted for the straight-line depreciation, over the lower of 40 years or the remaining life of the venture, of the difference between our cost and our proportionate share of the underlying net assets at the date of acquisition. We periodically review our investment in unconsolidated entities for other than temporary declines in market value. Any decline that is not expected to recover in the next 12 months is considered other than temporary and an impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. Estimated fair values are based on our projections of cash flows and market capitalization rates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

     Hotels Held for Sale – We consider each individual hotel to be an identifiable component of our business. In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we do not consider hotels as “held for sale” until it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year. Once a hotel is “held for sale” the operations related to the hotel are included in discontinued operations. We consider a hotel as “held for sale” once we have executed a contract for sale, allowed the buyer to complete their due diligence review, and received a substantial non-refundable deposit. Until a buyer has completed its due diligence review of the asset, necessary approvals have been received and substantive conditions to the buyer’s obligation to perform have been satisfied, we do not consider a sale to be probable.

     We do not depreciate hotel assets so long as they are classified as “held for sale.” Upon designation of a hotel as being “held for sale,” and quarterly thereafter, we review the carrying value of the hotel and, as appropriate, adjust its carrying value to the lesser of depreciated cost for fair value, less cost to sell, in accordance with SFAS 144. Any such adjustment in the carrying value of a hotel classified as “held for sale” is reflected in discontinued operations. We include in discontinued operations the operating results of those hotels that are classified as “held for sale” or that have been sold.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents – All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

     We place cash deposits at major banks. Our bank account balances may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Limits of $100,000; however, management believes the credit risk related to these deposits is minimal.

     Restricted Cash –Restricted cash includes reserves for capital expenditures, real estate taxes, and insurance, as well as cash collateral deposits due to mortgage debt agreement provisions.

     Deferred Expenses – Deferred expenses, consisting primarily of loan costs, are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed using a method that approximates the interest method over the maturity of the related debt.

     Other Assets – Other assets consist primarily of hotel operating inventories, prepaid expenses and deposits.

     Revenue Recognition – Approximately 99.8% to 99.9% of our revenue is comprised of hotel operating revenues, such as room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and revenue from other hotel operating departments (such as telephone, parking and business centers). These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts and are recorded as a bad debt expense. The remaining 0.1% to 0.2% of our revenue is from retail space rental revenue and other sources.

     We do not have any time-share arrangements and do not sponsor any frequent guest programs for which we would have any contingent liability. We participate in frequent guest programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels and we expense the charges associated with those programs (typically consisting of a percentage of the total guest charges incurred by a participating guest), as incurred. When a guest redeems accumulated frequent guest points at one of our hotels, the hotel bills the sponsor for the services provided in redemption of such points and records revenue in the amount of the charges billed to the sponsor. Associated with the frequent guest programs, we have no loss contingencies or ongoing obligation beyond what is paid to the brand owner at the time of the guest’s stay.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

     Foreign Currency Translation – Results of operations for our Canadian hotels are maintained in Canadian dollars and translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income.

     Capitalized Cost – We capitalize interest and certain other costs, such as property taxes, land leases, and property insurance relating to hotels undergoing major renovations and redevelopments. Such costs capitalized in 2004, 2003, and 2002, were $3.6 million, $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

     Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share – We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents represent shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and unvested officers’ restricted stock grants.

     For all years presented, our Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, or Series A preferred stock, if converted to common shares, would be antidilutive; accordingly we do not assume conversion of the Series A preferred stock in the computation of diluted earnings per share. For all years presented, stock options granted are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price of the common stock during each respective year exceeded the exercise price of the options.

     Stock Compensation – We apply Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for our stock based compensation plans for stock based compensation issued prior to January 1, 2003. In 1995, SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” was issued, which, if fully adopted by us, would have changed the methods we apply in recognizing the cost of the plans. As permitted under the transition provisions of SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” we began recognizing compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123 for all new awards issued after December 31, 2002. Had the compensation cost for our stock-based compensation plans been determined in accordance with SFAS 123 prior to January 1, 2003, our net income or loss and net income or loss per common share for the periods presented would approximate the pro forma amounts below (in thousands, except per share data):

                         
    2004     2003     2002  
Loss from continuing operations, as reported
  $ (111,311 )   $ (180,589 )   $ (61,021 )
Add stock based compensation included in the net loss, as reported
    2,945       2,210       2,088  
Less stock based compensation expense that would have been included in the determination of net loss if the fair value method had been applied to all awards
    (3,001 )     (2,355 )     (2,617 )
 
                 
Loss from continuing operations, pro forma
  $ (111,367 )   $ (180,734 )   $ (61,550 )
 
                 
 
                       
Basic and diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share:
                       
As reported
  $ (2.48 )   $ (3.54 )   $ (1.61 )
Pro forma
  $ (2.48 )   $ (3.54 )   $ (1.62 )

     The effects of applying SFAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts.

     Derivatives – We record derivatives in accordance with SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities.” SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Specifically, SFAS 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either stockholders’ equity or net income, depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and the nature of the hedging activity.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

     Segment Information – SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires the disclosure of selected information about operating segments. Based on the guidance provided in the standard, we have determined that our business is conducted in one operating segment.

     Distributions and Dividends – We and FelCor LP have historically paid regular quarterly distributions on our common stock and partnership units. Additionally, we have paid regular quarterly dividends on our preferred stock in accordance with our preferred stock dividend requirements. In 2003, we announced that, as the result of declines in our portfolio’s average daily rate, which was attributed to the uncertain geopolitical environment and soft business climate, along with the risk of further margin deterioration, we suspended payment of regular common dividends. Our ability to make distributions is dependent on our receipt of quarterly distributions from FelCor LP, and FelCor LP’s ability to make distributions is dependent upon the results of operations of our hotels.

     Minority Interests – Minority interests in FelCor LP and other consolidated subsidiaries represent the proportionate share of the equity in FelCor LP and other consolidated subsidiaries not owned by us. We allocate income and loss to minority interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the year.

     Income Taxes – We have elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. We generally lease our hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, that are subject to federal and state income taxes. Through these leases we record room revenue, food and beverage revenue and other revenue related to the operations of our hotels. We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109. Under SFAS 109, we account for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

3. Investment in Hotels

     Investment in hotels at December 31, 2004 and 2003 consists of the following (in thousands):

                 
    2004     2003  
Building and improvements
  $ 3,032,766     $ 3,142,853

  $ 2,960,390     $ 3,103,796  
 
           

     In 2004, we acquired the 132 room Santa Monica Hotel in California for $27.8 million. We entered into a 14-year management agreement with IHG for the hotel. We utilized cash on hand to acquire this hotel. Discussions of 2004 hotel dispositions are included in our Discontinued Operations footnote.

     In 2003, we sold parking garages adjacent to our hotels in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and San Francisco, California, for net sales proceeds of $12.1 million and realized aggregate gains of $0.3 million. Discussions of 2003 hotel dispositions are included in our Discontinued Operations footnote.

     In June 2002, we sold retail space associated with the Allerton Hotel located in Chicago, Illinois, for net proceeds of $16.7 million and recorded a net gain of $5.1 million. In addition, in 2002 we also recognized a $0.2 million gain related to the condemnation of land adjacent to one of our hotels.

3. Investment in Hotels – (continued)

     In April 2002, we sold our 183-room Doubletree Guest Suites hotel in Boca Raton, Florida, and received net sales proceeds of $6.5 million. We recorded a net gain of $0.8 million on the sale.

     We invested $96 million and $64 million in additions and improvements to our consolidated hotels during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally our pro rata share of capital expenditures for our unconsolidated hotels were $6 million and $4 million during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

4. Impairment Charge

     Our hotels are comprised of operations and cash flows that can clearly be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of our operations. Accordingly, we consider our hotels to be components as defined by SFAS 144 for purposes of determining impairment charges and reporting discontinued operations.

     When testing for recoverability we generally use historical and projected cash flows over the expected hold period. When determining fair value for purposes of determining impairment we use a combination of historical and projected cash flows and other available market information, such as recent sales prices for similar assets in specific markets.

     The estimated cash flows used to test for recoverability are undiscounted cash flow while the cash flows used for determining fair values are discounted using a reasonable capitalization rate, or as earlier noted based on the local market conditions using recent sales of similar assets.

     In 2004, we recorded impairment charges, under the provisions of SFAS 144, of $38.3 million ($33.8 million of which is included in continuing operations and the remainder is included in discontinued operations). The 2004 charges primarily related to 17 assets of which 14 non-strategic hotels were held for investment at December 31, 2004, two were sold during the year and one was held for sale at year end. Ten of these assets were written down to their fair value because the projected undiscounted cash flows for the remaining holding period did not exceed their carrying value. With respect to one hotel, we entered into an option in the third quarter 2004 that would permit the option holder to purchase the hotel for substantially less than its carrying value. The remaining seven hotels experienced lower than expected operating results, compared to prior year and budget, and recently forecasted 2005 hotel operating margins continue to be depressed for these hotels. These seven hotels, among others, are currently being reviewed for possible disposition.

     In 2003, we recorded impairment charges, under the provisions of SFAS 144, of $245.5 million ($107.4 million of which is included in continuing operations and the remainder is included in discontinued operations). The 2003 charges were primarily related to our third quarter decision to sell 11 IHG-managed hotels, following an amendment to the management agreements on these hotels, and our fourth quarter decision to sell an additional seven hotels. We tested certain of our previously impaired non-strategic hotels for recoverability during the fourth quarter of 2003 as the result of one or more of the following circumstances: continued operating losses; further declines in revenue, in excess of that in our core portfolio; further reductions in the estimated hold periods; and revised estimates of fair value. As result, we recorded additional impairment charges on certain of the non-strategic hotels identified for sale in 2002.

     In 2002, we recorded impairment charges of $144.1 million under the provisions of SFAS 144 ($19.2 million of which is included in continuing operations and the remainder is included in discontinued operations). This impairment charge related principally to our fourth quarter 2002 decision to sell 33 hotels.

4. Impairment Charge – (continued)

     In 2002, we also recorded an impairment charge of $13.4 million related to an other than temporary decline in value of certain equity method investments under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Common Stocks,” or APB 18. In accordance with APB 18, other than temporary declines in fair value of our investment in unconsolidated entities result in reductions in the carrying value of these investments. We consider a decline in value in our equity method investments that is not estimated to recover within 12 months to be other than temporary.

     The non-strategic hotels held for investment, which are included in our continuing operations, were tested for impairment as required by SFAS 144 using the undiscounted cash flows for the shorter of the estimated remaining holding periods or the useful life of the hotels. Those hotels that failed the impairment test described in SFAS 144 were written down to their current estimated fair value, before any selling expenses. These hotels continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives.

     We may be subject to additional impairment charges in the event that operating results of individual hotels are materially different from our forecasts, the economy and lodging industry remains weak, or if we shorten our contemplated holding period for certain of our hotels.

5. Discontinued Operations

     The results of operations of the 16 hotels sold during 2003, 18 hotels disposed of in 2004 and the one hotel subject to a firm sale contract and designated as held for sale at December 31, 2004, are presented in discontinued operations for the periods presented.

     In the second quarter of 2004 we sold three hotels (Holiday Inn St. Louis, Missouri and two Holiday Inn & Suites in Odessa, Texas), for gross proceeds of $12 million.

     In the third quarter of 2004 we sold five hotels (Holiday Inn hotels in Beaumont, Texas; Midland, Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico; an independent hotel in Avon, Colorado and a Holiday Inn & Suites in Omaha, Nebraska), for gross proceeds of $29 million.

5. Discontinued Operations – (continued)

     In the fourth quarter of 2004 we sold five hotels (a Harvey Hotel in Dallas, Texas; a Homewood Suites in Omaha, Nebraska and Crowne Plaza hotels in Dallas, Texas, Hartford, Connecticut, and Secaucus, New Jersey) for gross proceeds of $86 million.

     From the sale of these hotels we recorded a net gain of $19.4 million.

     We leased the San Francisco Holiday Inn Select Downtown & Spa hotel under a lease that was scheduled to expire in December 2004. In May 2003, the lessor asserted that we were in default of our obligations for maintenance, repair and replacement under the lease, and asserted that the cost of correcting the alleged deficiencies was $13.9 million. The lessor subsequently asserted that we were also in default of our capital expenditure obligations under the lease in the amount of $3 million. In October 2003, we reached a partial settlement with the lessor, pursuant to which we paid the lessor $296,000 in full satisfaction and discharge of certain maintenance obligations that the lessor had valued in its original claim at $470,300. On May 3, 2004, we executed a settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid the lessor $5 million which has been recorded as lease termination expense in the accompanying financial statements. We transferred our interest in the hotel to the lessor as of June 30, 2004, and have been relieved of the obligation to make any additional capital improvements to the hotel and have received a full release of all known and unknown claims and further obligations under the lease. We have also received a release of termination liability to IHG under its management agreement with respect to this hotel upon its termination in connection with the above settlement.

     In October 2003, we sold four Holiday Inn-branded hotels in Ontario, Canada for net proceeds of $30.6 million; five hotels (Embassy Suites Hotels in Syracuse, New York, Phoenix, and Flagstaff, Arizona, and Doubletree Guest Suites hotels in Columbus, and Dayton, Ohio), for net proceeds of $48.2 million; a Crowne Plaza hotel in Greenville, South Carolina, for net proceeds of $4.2 million; and a Holiday Inn in Texarkana, Arkansas, for net proceeds of $2.5 million. From the sale of these hotels, we realized a net gain of $3.0 million on disposition, which included a $3.5 million gain from foreign currency translation previously recorded in other comprehensive income.

     In August 2003, we relinquished title to two low rise Harvey hotels in Dallas through a foreclosure action. This resulted in a gain of $0.3 million from the extinguishment of $9.7 million of debt (net of escrow balances).

     In July 2003, we sold our Doubletree Guest Suites in Nashville, Tennessee, for net proceeds of $3.0 million. In May 2003, we sold two non-strategic hotels, the 138-room Hampton Inn in Moline, Illinois, and the 132-room Hampton Inn in Davenport, Iowa, for aggregate net sales proceeds of $6.4 million. From the sale of these hotels we realized a net loss on disposition of $0.9 million.

6. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

     We owned 50% interests in joint venture entities that owned 20 hotels at December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003. We also owned a 50% interest in entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, provide condominium management services, and lease four hotels. We account for our investments in these unconsolidated entities under the equity method. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated in our financial statements. We make adjustments to our equity in income from unconsolidated entities related to the difference between our basis in investment in unconsolidated entities compared to the historical basis of the assets recorded by the joint ventures.

7. Debt – (continued)

     In May 2004, we issued $175 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Notes due June 1, 2011, or the 2011 Notes, and we received net proceeds of $174.1 million. The 2011 Notes bear interest, adjusted semi annually, at the six-month LIBOR plus 4.25% and rank equally with our other existing senior unsecured debt. The 2011 Notes are callable on or after December 1, 2006, at an initial redemption price of 102%. In July 2004, we issued an additional $115 million of the 2011 Notes with identical terms and conditions as the $175 million issued in May 2004.

     On June 9, 2004, we redeemed all $175 million in principal amount of our outstanding 7.375% Senior Notes due 2004. The redemption price was $1,018 per $1,000 of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. With the retirement of this debt, we recorded a loss on redemption of $3.2 million and wrote off $0.3 million of debt issue costs. We also recorded a $1 million gain on the unwinding of the interest rate swaps tied to this debt.

     During 2004, we purchased all $600 million of our 9.5% Senior Notes due 2008 (which bore interest at 10% as a result of the 2003 downgrade of the credit ratings on our senior notes) through tender offers, redemptions and by purchases in the open market, at an average price of $1,063.55 per $1,000 in principal amount. With the retirement of this debt, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $41 million of which $38.2 million related to the premium paid in excess of par and $2.8 million related to the charge off of unamortized discount. We also wrote off debt issue costs of $6.5 million.

     In 2004 we also elected to terminate our line of credit and wrote off debt issue costs of $0.2 million. We charged off $2.8 million and $3.2 million of unamortized deferred costs as a result of a reduction of the line of credit commitments in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

     In June 2003, we entered in to a new secured delayed draw facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank for up to $200 million. In 2004, we borrowed $194 million under this facility (collateralized by 15 hotels). The amount drawn under the facility was converted into: (i) $107 million of nine separate fixed rate CMBS loans secured by nine hotels with a weighted average interest rate of 6.5% and with maturity dates ranging form 2009 to 2014, and (ii) $87 million under a cross-collateralized floating rate CMBS loan secured by six hotels with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.11% and with a maturity date of 2009, including extension options which are subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. On July 28, 2004, we cancelled the unused balance of this $200 million facility.

     In December 2004, we closed on $40 million second mortgage financing with regard to seven of our hotels. The second mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.82% and contains the same terms and conditions as the first mortgage, including the maturity date of March 2009.

     At December 31, 2004, we had aggregate mortgage indebtedness of $1.1 billion that was secured by 79 of our consolidated hotels with an aggregate book value of $1.8 billion. Substantially all of this debt is recourse solely to the specific assets securing the debt, except in the case of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse provisions. Loans secured by 41 hotels provide for lock-box arrangements. With respect to loans secured by 23 of these hotels, if the debt service coverage ratios fall below certain levels, the lender is entitled to apply the revenues from the hotels securing the loan to satisfy current requirements for debt service, taxes, insurance and other reserves, before the balance of the revenues, if any, would be available to the owner to pay the expenses of hotel operations and provide a return to the owner. Eight of these 23 hotels, which accounted for 2% of our total revenues in 2004, are currently below the prescribed debt service coverage ratios and are subject to these lock-box requirements. These eight hotels, in the aggregate, are currently covering their hotel operating expenses, before capital expenditures.

     With respect to loans secured by the remaining 18 hotels, the owner is permitted to retain 115% of budgeted hotel operating expenses before the remaining revenues would become subject to a similar lock-box arrangement if a specified debt service coverage ratio was not met. The mortgage loans secured by 16 of these 18 hotels also provide that, so long as the debt service coverage ratios remain below a second, even lower minimum level, the lender may retain any excess cash (after deduction for the 115% of budgeted operating expenses, debt service, tax, insurance and other reserve requirements) and, if the debt service coverage ratio remains below this lower minimum level for 12 consecutive months, apply any accumulated excess cash to the

F-19

7. Debt – (continued)

prepayment of the principal amount of the debt. If the debt service coverage ratio exceeds the lower minimum level for three consecutive months, any then accumulated excess cash will be returned to the owner. Ten of these 18 hotels, which accounted for 6% of our total revenues in 2004, are currently below the applicable debt service coverage ratio and are subject to the lock-box provisions. None of the hotels are currently below the second, even lower minimum debt service coverage ratio that would permit the lender to retain excess cash after deduction for the 115% of budgeted operating expenses, debt service, tax, insurance and other reserve requirements.

     Our publicly-traded senior unsecured notes require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and an interest coverage tests in order to: incur additional indebtedness except to refinance maturing debt with replacement debt, as defined under our indentures; pay dividends in excess of the minimum dividend required to meet the REIT qualification test; repurchase capital stock; or merge. As of the date of this filing, we have satisfied all such tests. Under the terms of certain of our indentures, we are prohibited from repurchasing any of our capital stock, whether common or preferred, subject to certain exceptions, so long as our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the indentures, exceeds 4.85 to 1. Debt, as defined in the indentures, approximates our consolidated debt. EBITDA is defined in the indentures as consolidated GAAP net income, adjusted for minority interest in FelCor LP, actual cash distributions by unconsolidated entities, gains or losses from asset sales, dividends on preferred stock and extraordinary gains and losses (as defined at the date of the indentures), plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense and other non-cash items. Our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined, was 4.8 to 1, 6.0 to 1 and 5.3 to 1 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The ratio increased in 2002 and 2003 principally because of the decline in our EBITDA as a result of the recession that began in March of 2001 and was exacerbated by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. These events contributed to a deep and protracted recession in the hospitality industry. Our EBITDA has also decreased due to the sale of non-strategic hotels. Although our current debt-to-EDITDA ratio is slightly below 4.85 to 1 a decline in our EBITDA, as a result of asset sales or adverse economic developments, or an increase in our debt, could again make us subject to this limitation.

     If actual operating results fall significantly below our current expectations, as reflected in our current public guidance, or if interest rates increase substantially above expected levels, we may be unable to continue to satisfy the incurrence test under the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes. In such event we may be prohibited from, among other things, incurring any additional indebtedness, except under certain specific exceptions, or paying dividends on our preferred or common stock, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT qualification requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our taxable income. In the event of our failure of this incurrence test, based upon our current estimates of taxable income for 2005, we would be unable to distribute the full amount of dividends accruing under our outstanding preferred stock in 2005 and, accordingly, could pay no dividends on our common stock.

8. Derivatives

     On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a hedge to the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment (referred to as a fair value hedge), or the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (referred to as a cash flow hedge). For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change, together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The effect of that accounting is to reflect in earnings the extent to which the hedge is not effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (outside earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. At December 31, 2004, all of our outstanding hedges were cash flow hedges.

     We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy, relating to our various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or specific firm commitments. We also formally assess (both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows or fair values of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. When we determine that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, we will discontinue hedge accounting, prospectively.

     In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the effect of interest rate changes. We limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. It is our objective to use interest rate hedges to manage our fixed and floating interest rate position and not to engage in speculation on interest rates. We manage interest rate risk based on the varying circumstances of anticipated borrowings, and existing floating and fixed rate debt. We will generally seek to pursue interest rate risk mitigation strategies that will result in the least amount of reported earnings volatility under generally accepted accounting principles, while still meeting strategic economic objectives and maintaining adequate liquidity and flexibility. Instruments that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the derivative contract.

     In June 2004, we unwound six interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $175 million that were matched with the $175 million in senior unsecured notes due 2004 that we redeemed. A $1 million gain was recorded, offsetting the loss on the redemption of the debt. Also during June 2004, five additional swaps with an aggregate amount of $125 million that were matched to the $125 million senior unsecured notes due 2007 were unwound at a cost of $2.3 million. The $2.3 million was applied to the principal balance of these notes and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. During July 2004, four interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $100 million, that were matched to mortgage debt maturing in November 2007, were unwound at a cost of $1.3 million. The $1.3 million was applied to the principal balance of this debt and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of this debt.

     To manage the relative mix of our debt between fixed and variable rate instruments, at December 31, 2004, we had three cash flow interest rate swap agreements with three financial institutions with an aggregate notional value of $100 million. These cash flow swap agreements modify a portion of the interest characteristics of our outstanding variable rate debt, without an exchange of the underlying principal amount, and effectively convert variable rate debt to a fixed rate. These swaps have been 100% effective through December 31, 2004.

     To determine the fair values of our derivative instruments, we use a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

     At December 31, 2004, we had three interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amount of $100 million, maturing in December 2007. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, and are marked to market through other comprehensive income. The estimated unrealized net gain on these interest rate swap agreements was approximately $0.1 million at December 31, 2004, and represents the amount we would receive if the agreements were terminated, based on current market rates. The interest rate received on these interest rate swaps is 4.25% plus LIBOR and the interest rate paid is 7.80%.

     The amounts paid or received by us under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change, and we recognize them as an adjustment to interest expense, which will have a corresponding effect on our future cash flows. The interest rate swaps decreased interest expense by $4.1 million, $7.2 million and $4.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our interest rate swaps have monthly to semi-annual settlement dates. Agreements such as these contain a credit risk in that the counterparties may be unable to fulfill the terms of the agreement. We minimize that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of our counterparties, who are limited to major banks and financial institutions, and we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. The Standard & Poor’s credit ratings for each of the financial institutions that are counterparties to our interest rate swap agreements are AA-.

     To fulfill requirements under the $150 million secured loan facility executed in April 2003, we purchased 6% interest rate caps with a notional amount of $144.7 million. We concurrently sold interest rate caps with identical terms. In July 2004, we purchased 6.5% interest rate caps on LIBOR with a notional amount of $86.4 million to fulfill requirements under an $87 million cross-collateralized floating rate CMBS loan and concurrently sold interest rate caps with identical terms. These interest rate cap agreements have not been designated as hedges. The fair value of both the purchased and sold interest rate caps was $0.02 million at December 31, 2004, resulting in no net earnings impact.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     SFAS 107 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2004. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

     Our estimates of the fair value of (i) accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments; (ii) debt is based upon effective borrowing rates for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities; and (iii) our interest rate swaps and the hedged debt are recorded at estimates of fair value, which are based on the amount that we estimate we would currently receive upon termination of these instruments at current market rates and with reasonable assumptions about relevant future market conditions. The book value and estimated fair value of our debt is $1.8 billion at December 31, 2004.

10. Income Taxes

     We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders. We currently intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income taxes on net income we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through TRSs is subject to federal, state and local taxes.

     We generally lease our hotels to wholly-owned TRSs that are subject to federal and state income taxes. In 2004 and 2003, we also contributed certain hotel assets to our wholly-owned TRSs. We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS 109, we account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

     We have provided a 100% valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, due to the uncertainty of realization (because of ongoing operating losses) and, accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2004, the TRS has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $296 million which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2024.

     If we sell any asset acquired from Bristol Hotel Company, or Bristol, within 10 years after our merger with Bristol in 1998, and we recognize a taxable gain on the sale, we will be taxed at the highest corporate rate on an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of gain that we recognize at the time of the sale, or the amount of gain that we would have recognized if we had sold the asset at the time of the Bristol merger for its then fair market value. The sales of Bristol hotels that have been made to date have not resulted in any material amount of tax liability. If we are successful in selling the hotels that we have designated as non-strategic, the majority of which are Bristol hotels, we could incur corporate income tax with respect to the related built in gain, the amount of which cannot yet be determined. At the current time, we believe that we will be able to avoid any substantial built in gain tax on these sales through offsetting built in losses, like kind exchanges and other tax planning strategies.

11. Capital Stock

     As of December 31, 2004, we had $757 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, and/or common stock warrants available for offerings under shelf registration statements previously declared effective.

Preferred Stock

     Our board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of up to 20 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish the number of shares in each series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of each such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

     In 1996, we issued 6.1 million shares of our Series A preferred stock at $25 per share. In April 2004, we completed the sale of 4.6 million shares of our $1.95 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares were sold at a price of $23.79 per share, which included accrued dividends of $0.51 per share through April 5, 2004, resulting in net proceeds of $104 million. In August 2004, we completed the sale of an additional 2.3 million shares of our $1.95 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares were sold at a price of $23.22 per share, which included accrued dividends of $0.28 per share through August 22, 2004, resulting in net proceeds of $52 million.

     The Series A preferred stock bears an annual cumulative dividend payable in arrears equal to the greater of $1.95 per share or the cash distributions declared or paid for the corresponding period on the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A preferred stock is then convertible. Each share of the Series A preferred stock is convertible at the stockholder’s option to 0.7752 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. During 2000, holders of 69,400 shares of Series A preferred stock converted their shares to 53,798 common shares, which were issued from treasury shares.

11. Capital Stock — (continued)

     In 1998, we issued 5.75 million depositary shares, representing 57,500 shares of our Series B preferred stock at $25 per depositary share. In 2002, we issued 1,025,800 depositary shares, representing 10,258 shares of our Series B preferred stock at $24.37 per depositary share to yield 9.4%. We may call the Series B preferred stock and the corresponding depositary shares at $25 per depositary share. These shares have no stated maturity, sinking fund or mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into any of our other securities. The Series B preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $2,500 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share) and is entitled to annual cumulative dividends at the rate of 9% of the liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.25 annually per depositary share).

     Accrued dividends payable of $9 million at December 31, 2004, were paid in January 2005.

FelCor LP Units

     We are the sole general partner of FelCor LP and are obligated to contribute the net proceeds from any issuance of our equity securities to FelCor LP in exchange for units of partnership interest, or Units, corresponding in number and terms to the equity securities issued by us. Units of limited partner interest may also be issued by FelCor LP to third parties in exchange for cash or property, and Units so issued to third parties are redeemable at the option of the holders thereof for a like number of shares of our common stock or, at our option, for the cash equivalent thereof. During 2004, 245,398 Units were exchanged for a like number of our common stock issued from treasury stock. During 2003, 256,118 Units were exchanged for a like number of common stock issued from treasury stock. During 2002, 5,713,185 Units owned by a subsidiary of IHG, were exchanged for a like number of shares of our newly issued common stock, and 2,492 Units were redeemed for $49,000 in cash. The exchange with IHG resulted in an increase in our ownership of limited partnership interests in FelCor LP from approximately 85% to 95%, which decreased the minority interest liability related to FelCor LP by $145 million.

     During 2003, we retired 5,713,185 shares of common stock for a like number of treasury shares.

12. Hotel Operating Revenue, Departmental Expenses, and Other Property Operating Costs

     Hotel operating revenue from continuing operations was comprised of the following (in thousands):

                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2004     2003     2002  
Room revenue
  $ 945,938     $ 883,834     $ 910,052  
Food and beverage revenue
    180,398       167,883       172,917  
Other operating departments
    62,527       59,011       60,999  
 
                 
Total hotel operating revenues
  $ 1,188,863     $ 1,110,728     $ 1,143,968  
 
                 

     Approximately 99.8% of our revenue in 2004 was comprised of hotel operating revenues, which includes room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and revenue from other operating departments (such as telephone, parking and business centers) and 99.9% in 2003 and 2002. These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts and are recorded as a bad debt expense. The remaining percentage of our revenue was from retail space rental revenue and other sources in 2004 and 2003. During 2004 we recorded $1 million of other revenue that we received in development fees from the successful completion of a condominium project.

12.  Hotel Operating Revenue, Departmental Expenses and Other Property Operating Costs — (continued)

     We do not have any time-share arrangements and do not sponsor any guest frequency programs for which we would have any contingent liability. We participate in guest frequency programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels, and we expense the charges associated with those programs (typically consisting of a percentage of the total guest charges incurred by a participating guest), as incurred. When a guest redeems accumulated guest frequency points at one of our hotels, the hotel bills the sponsor for the services provided in redemption of such points and records revenue in the amount of the charges billed to the sponsor. Associated with the guest frequency programs, we have no loss contingencies or ongoing obligation beyond what is paid to the brand owner at the time of the guest’s stay.

     Included in total hotel operating revenue were $23.6 million and $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of hotel operating revenue from the consolidation of our joint venture with Interstate in June 2003. This joint venture had been previously accounted for by the equity method.

14. Land Leases and Hotel Rent

     We lease land occupied by certain hotels from third parties under various operating leases that expire through 2073. Certain land leases contain contingent rent features based on gross revenue at the respective hotels.

16. Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions

     We shared the executive offices and certain employees with FelCor, Inc. (controlled by Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., President and CEO), and it paid its share of the costs thereof, including an allocated portion of the rent, compensation of certain personnel, office supplies, telephones, and depreciation of office furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Any such allocation of shared expenses must be approved by a majority of our independent directors. FelCor, Inc. had a 10% ownership interest in one hotel and limited other investments. FelCor, Inc. paid $50,000, $46,000 and $50,000 for shared office costs in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

16. Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions — (continued)

     In an effort to keep our cost of insurance within reasonable limits, we have only purchased terrorism insurance for those hotels that are secured by mortgage debt, as required by our lenders. Our terrorism insurance has per occurrence and aggregate limits of $50 million. We have established a self-insured retention of $250,000 per occurrence for general liability insurance with regard to 79 of our hotels; the remainder of our hotels participate in general liability programs of our managers, with no deductible. Due to our general liability deductible for the 79 hotels, we maintain reserves to cover the estimated ultimate uninsured liability for losses with respect to reported and unreported claims incurred as of the end of each accounting period. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, our reserve for this self-insured portion of general liability claims was $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Our property program has a $100,000 all risk deductible, a deductible of 2% of insured value for named windstorm and a deductible of 5% of insured value for California quake. No reserves have been established as of December 31, 2004, for these property deductibles, as no related losses are estimated to have been incurred. Should such uninsured or not fully insured losses be substantial, they could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and cash flows.

     There is no litigation pending or known to be threatened against us or affecting any of our hotels, other than claims arising in the ordinary course of business or which are not considered to be material. Furthermore, most of these claims are substantially covered by insurance. We do not believe that any claims known to us, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on us.

     Our hotels are operated under various management agreements that call for base management fees, which range from 2% to 7% of hotel room revenue and generally have an incentive provision related to the hotel’s profitability. In addition, the management agreements generally require us to invest approximately 3% to 4% of revenues in capital maintenance. The management agreements have terms from 10 to 20 years and generally have renewal options.

     With the exception of 77 hotels whose rights to use a brand name are contained in the management agreement governing their operations, and our one hotel that does not operate under a nationally recognized brand name, each of our hotels operates under a franchise or license agreement. Typically, our franchise or license agreements provide for a royalty fee of 4% of room revenues to be paid to the franchisor.

     In the event we breach one of our Embassy Suites Hotels franchise license agreements, in addition to losing the right to use the Embassy Suites Hotels name for the operation of the applicable hotel, we may be liable, under certain circumstances, for liquidated damages equal to the fees paid to the franchisor with respect to that hotel during the three preceding years.

     Under the management agreement entered into with IHG in July 2001, we were obligated to reinvest the net proceeds from the sale of any IHG managed hotel in other IHG managed hotels or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG. This potential exposure to liquidated damages made it impractical to see certain hotels and use the proceeds to pay down debt. In September 2003, we completed an amendment to the IHG management agreement covering 78 of our hotels, pursuant to which we extended the term of the management contracts on 27 hotels from 2013 to 2018 and, in exchange, we received from IHG a liquidated damage credit of $25 million to apply to the satisfaction of liquidated damages otherwise payable to IHG upon the sale of certain IHG managed hotels where the proceeds of sale were applied to the reduction of our debt rather than to reinvestment in IHG managed hotels. At the end of December 2004, we had utilized all of the $25 million liquidated damages credit available to us. Following the full utilization of this credit, we were again required to reinvest the proceeds from the further sale of IHG managed hotels in other hotels to be managed by IHG or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG.

     At March 1, 2004, we had a reinvestment requirement of $17 million. If we do not fulfill this reinvestment obligation within 12 months of the date of sale, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to IHG aggregating $5.3 million. Thirteen of the 18 remaining hotels identified for sale are managed by IHG and subject to the reinvestment obligations in the event they are sold. We will incur additional reinvestment obligations of approximately $76 million if these hotels are sold at currently estimated prices or, if the proceeds of sale are not so reinvested, we will incur approximately $19 million in additional liquidated damages for which we would be liable to IHG.

     Interstate Hotels & Resorts, which is our partner in the ownership of eight hotels, declined to make further capital contributions to the venture, beginning in 2004. In order to sustain this venture, we made $3 million in advances in 2004, and an additional $1 million in 2005, with a priority in right (but no assurance) of return. We have received a request for additional funding of $2.5 million; however, we have determined that it is not in our best interest to continue funding the further cash shortfalls related to this venture, and have notified the lender to that effect. This venture, which we consolidate, currently has $49 million in non-recourse debt secured by the eight hotels owned by the venture. We have written down our investment in this venture below the current debt balance. We are considering our options with regard to this venture, one of which is to surrender the hotels to the lender. We do not expect any such action to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

17. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosure

     At December 31, 2004, $10.1 million of aggregate preferred stock dividends had been declared for payment in January 2005. At December 31, 2003, and 2002 $6 million and $15 million, respectively, of aggregate preferred stock dividends, common stock and FelCor LP unit distributions had been declared for payment in the following January.

     We allocated $1.1 million and $2.3 million of minority interest to additional paid in capital due to the exchange of 245,398 units and 256,118 units for common stock in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     As the result of IHG’s 2002 exchange of 5,713,185 units for common stock, we allocated $72.5 million of minority interest to additional paid in capital.

     Depreciation expense is comprised of the following (in thousands):

                         
    For the years ending December 31,  
    2004     2003     2002  
Depreciation from continuing operations
  $ 118,855     $ 123,968     $ 129,565  
Depreciation from discontinued operations
    3,798       16,257       23,252  
 
                 
Total depreciation expense
  $ 122,653     $ 140,225     $ 152,817  
 
                 

     For the year ended December 31, 2004, repayment of borrowings of $838.9 million consisted of $775.0 million early retirement of senior notes, $18.9 million of normal recurring principal payments, $41.3 million of premium paid in excess of par on the retirement of the senior notes and $3.7 million to retire interest rate swaps. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the repayment of borrowings consisted entirely of debt repayment and normal recurring principal payments.

18. Stock Based Compensation Plans

     We sponsor four restricted stock and stock option plans, or the FelCor Plans. In addition, upon completion of the merger with Bristol in 1998, we assumed two stock option plans previously sponsored by Bristol, or the Bristol Plans. We were initially obligated to issue up to 1,271,103 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Bristol Plans. No additional options may be awarded under the Bristol Plans. The FelCor Plans and the Bristol Plans are referred to collectively as the Plans.

     We are authorized to issue 3,700,000 shares of common stock under the FelCor Plans pursuant to awards granted in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock. All options have 10-year contractual terms and vest either over five equal annual installments (20% per year), beginning in the year following the date of grant or 100% at the end of a four-year vesting term. Under the FelCor Plans, there were 695,787 shares available for grant at December 31, 2004.

18. Stock Based Compensation Plans — (continued)

     The options outstanding under the Bristol Plans generally vest either in four equal annual installments (25% per year) beginning in the second year following the original date of award, in five equal annual installments (20% per year) beginning in the year following the original date of award, or on a single date that is three to five years following the original date of the award. Options covering 75,693 shares were outstanding under the Bristol Plans at December 31, 2004.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2001, was $0.85 per share. We issued no stock options in 2004, 2003 and 2002.

19. Employee Benefits

     We offer a 401(k) plan, health insurance benefits and a deferred compensation plan to our employees. Our matching contribution to our 401(k) plan was $0.6 million, for 2004 and 2003 and $0.5 million for 2002. The cost of health insurance benefits were $0.6 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The deferred compensation plan we offer is available only to directors and qualifying senior officers. We make no matching or other contributions to the deferred compensation plan, other than the payment of its operating and administrative expenses.

     The employees at our hotels are employees of the respective management companies. Under the management agreements, we reimburse the management companies for the compensation and benefits related to the employees who work at our hotels. We are not, however, the sponsors of their employee benefit plans and have no obligation to fund these plans.

20. Segment Information

     SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires the disclosure of selected information about operating segments. Based on the guidance provided in the standard, we have determined that our business is conducted in one operating segment.

     The following table sets forth revenues for continuing operations, and investment in hotel assets represented by, the following geographical areas as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

21. Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No.123R”) which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”). SFAS No. 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB Opinion No. 25”) and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to record compensation expense for share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, at fair value. SFAS No. 123R is effective for most public companies at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. We believe that the implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 123R will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” The statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We believe that the implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 153 will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

22. Quarterly Operating Results (unaudited)

     Our unaudited consolidated quarterly operating data for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, follows (in thousands, except per share data). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly results have been reflected in the data. It is also management’s opinion, however, that quarterly operating data for hotel enterprises are not indicative of results to be achieved in succeeding quarters or years. In order to obtain a more accurate indication of performance, there should be a review of operating results, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for a period of several years.

Manager acknowledges that this Agreement is subject and subordinate to the Hotel Lease (it being understood that such subordination does not affect Manager's right to receive the Base Management Fee when due including during a default by Owner which has continued beyond the applicable cure period under the Hotel Lease) and that Manager, on behalf of Owner and at Owner's sole expense, shall use its reasonable efforts to fulfill Owner's duties and obligations under the Hotel Lease.

In connection with the submission of the Operating Budgets and the Capital Renewals Budgets, representatives of Manager will meet with Owner to have an in-depth discussion thereof, including a comparison with the previous year's performance of the Hotel, a discussion of marketing strategy, identity of markets and the proposed expenditures contained in the Capital Renewals Budget. 4.02.3 Approval of Budgets. The Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget shall be subject to the approval of Owner, it being contemplated that each such Operating Budget and Capital Renewals Budget shall be agreed upon by Owner and Manager within thirty (30) days after the submission of the same by Manager to Owner. If Owner shall fail to approve any Operating Budget or Capital Renewals Budget within thirty (30) days after its submittal by Manager, or to submit its written objections thereof to Manager within such period, then Owner shall be deemed to have approved the same. In case of a dispute with regard to any Operating Budget, then pending the settlement thereof, or until such dispute is resolved in accordance with Section 12.04, Manager shall be entitled to continue to operate the Hotel in accordance with the standards set forth herein and shall be entitled to make expenditures which are contemplated by and consistent with the Operating Budget proposed by Manager for such Operating Year; provided that, subject to the standards of performance described in Subsection 4.02.4 below, the maximum approved amount of such expenditures shall be equal to (a) the aggregate of all items set forth in the Operating Budget which are not disputed by Owner, plus (b) with respect to all items in the Operating Budget which are disputed or objected to by Owner, the amount allocated to such item(s) in the Operating Budget for the immediately preceding Operating Year increased by the greater of (i) five percent (5%), or (ii) the difference between the Consumer Price Index (All Cities - All Items) (1982-84 = 100) (the "CPI"), on January 1 of the Operating Year immediately preceding the Operating Year in question and the CPI on January 1 of the Operating Year in question. In case of a dispute with regard to any Capital Renewals Budget, then, pending the settlement thereof, or until such dispute is resolved in accordance with Section 12.04, Manager shall be entitled to make expenditures for Capital Renewals during the then current Operating Year (a) as contemplated by the Capital Renewals Budget proposed by Manager for all items which are not disputed by Owner plus (b) up to such additional amount, if any, by which the aggregate amount of such items not disputed by Owner is less than half the percentage of the Gross Revenues of the Hotel applicable to the Operating Year then in effect which are to be deposited in the Capital Renewals Reserve. Manager shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in preparing and submitting to Owner the Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget. Owner shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in approving or disapproving all or any portion of the Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget and act in a manner that shall permit maintenance and operation of the Hotel in compliance with the Operating Manual. Embassy Suites __________ Management Agreement 7 4.02.4 Performance Under Operating Budget. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the results set forth in the Operating Budget with respect to any Operating Year; provided, however, that Owner acknowledges that the Operating Budget is a composition of estimates and, therefore, Manager cannot and does not guarantee or warrant that the actual operation of the Hotel for any Operating Year will be as set forth in the Operating Budget for such Operating Year. During each Operating Year, Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Hotel within the approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget (subject, in the case of any disputed items, to Subsection 4.02.3). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner understands and agrees as follows: (a) Certain expenses provided for in the Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy of the Hotel; and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy of the Hotel for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy projected in the approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget for such Operating Year, such approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses. (b) The amount of certain expenses including Impositions, utilities, insurance premiums, and charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, are not within the ability of Manager to control. Manager shall have the right to pay all such expenses without reference to the amounts provided for in respect thereof in the approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget for any Operating Year. (c) If any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to avoid damage to the Hotel or injury to persons or property, Manager may make such expenditures, as may reasonably be required to avoid or mitigate such damage or injury, even if the amounts of such expenditures are not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget for the Operating Year in question; provided Manager shall not expend more than $100,000 (which figure shall be adjusted annually to reflect increases in CPI) on any one occasion pursuant to this paragraph 4.02.4(c) without Owner's prior approval unless Manager determines that the emergency condition constitutes an immediate threat to the life or safety of Hotel guests or employees. Manager shall notify Owner as promptly as reasonably possible of the making of any such expenditures. (d) If any expenditures are required to comply with any Legal Requirements or to cure or prevent any violation thereof, Manager may make such expenditures as may be necessary to comply with such Legal Requirements or to remove or prevent the violation thereof even if the amounts of such expenditures are not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget for the Operating Year in question. Embassy Suites __________ Management Agreement 8 Manager shall have the right from time to time during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the Operating Year in question and on Manager's judgment as to what will transpire during the remainder of such Operating Year. Any such modifications shall be subject to Owner's approval. Any dispute relating to a proposed modification of an approved Operating Budget and the Capital Renewals Budget may be submitted by either party for resolution in accordance with Section 12.04. 4.02.5 Capital Renewals Reserve. From the revenues from the operation of the Hotel, or with funds provided by Owner under Section 7.03 or otherwise, Manager will establish and maintain a reserve (the "Capital Renewals Reserve") for Capital Renewals. The amount of the required additions to the Capital Renewals Reserve shall be calculated monthly concurrently with the delivery to Owner of the reports required under Paragraph 7.05(a) and shall be an amount equal to four percent (4%) of Gross Revenues of the Hotel (determined as provided in Section B of the Management Fee Rider). The Capital Renewals Reserve shall be used solely for the purpose of paying for Capital Renewals. Any amounts remaining in the Capital Renewals Reserve at the end of each Operating Year will be carried forward until fully expended, but shall not be credited against required contributions to the Capital Renewals Reserve for any subsequent Operating Year. It is understood that the amounts to be reserved for Capital Renewals under this Subsection 4.02.5 are minimum and do not represent the amounts which may be required in later years to maintain the Hotel in the condition contemplated by this Agreement and, accordingly, Owner and Manager recognize that the Capital Renewals Budgets in future years may call for expenditures in excess of the amounts being reserved therefor under this Subsection 4.02.5. Except as may otherwise be agreed between Owner and Manager (a) the additions to the Capital Renewals Reserve will be deposited in an interest-bearing account (the "Capital Renewals Account") at a banking institution to be selected in accordance with Section 7.01, (b) interest earned on the Capital Renewals Account shall be added to the Capital Renewals Reserve but shall not be credited against amounts required to be added thereto, and (c) any funds remaining in the Capital Renewals Account at the expiration or termination of this Agreement will be disbursed to Owner. 4.02.6 Compliance with Capital Renewals Budget. Manager shall at all times comply with the applicable Capital Renewals Budget, and shall not deviate in any substantial respect therefrom; provided that the Capital Renewals Budget includes appropriate amounts for contingencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall be entitled to make additional expenditures not authorized under the then applicable Capital Renewals Budget in case of emergencies arising out of fire or any other like or unlike casualty, or in order to comply with any applicable Legal Requirements. If Manager at any time determines that expenditures are required to be made pursuant to Paragraphs 4.02.4(c) or 4.02.4(d), Manager may make such expenditures out of the Capital Renewals Reserve; provided further that Manager may reallocate up to five percent (5%) of the Capital Renewals Reserve during each Operating Year to pay any expenses for Capital Renewals that Manager may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maintain the Hotel in a manner consistent with the Operating Manual, regardless of whether such Embassy Suites __________ Management Agreement 9 Capital Renewals were specifically included in the Capital Renewals Budget for such Operating Year. Subject to Subsection 4.02.4, in connection with any expenditure from the Capital Renewals Reserve that was not specifically contemplated in the Capital Renewals Budget, Manager shall attempt to notify Owner at least thirty (30) days prior to the time that the expenditures in question are made. Subject to the availability of sufficient amounts in the Capital Renewals Reserve or otherwise provided by Owner, Manager shall arrange for the completion of all Capital Renewals approved by Owner in the Capital Renewals Budget for any Operating Year or otherwise. The lack of sufficient monies in the Capital Renewals Reserve shall not limit Owner's obligations to make Capital Renewals required to maintain the Hotel in a manner consistent with the Operating Manual or to provide funds sufficient (in addition to the amounts in the Capital Renewals Reserve) to enable Manager to complete and pay for all Capital Renewals provided for in an approved Capital Renewals Budget or otherwise approved by Owner or authorized under the terms of this Agreement. 4.03 Management Group Services..

Owner agrees to comply with any other insurance requirements Manager reasonably requests in order to protect the Hotel and the respective interests of Owner and Manager. 5.03 Waiver of Liability. Neither Manager nor Owner shall assert against the other, and do hereby waive with respect to each other, or against any other entity or person named as additional insureds on any policies carried under this Article V, any claims for any losses, damages, liability or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred or sustained by either of them on account of injury to persons or damage to property arising out of the ownership, development, construction, completion, operation or maintenance of the Hotel, to the extent that the same are covered by the insurance required under this Article V. Each policy of insurance shall contain a specific waiver of subrogation reflecting this Section 5.03, and a provision to the effect that the existence of the preceding waiver shall not affect the validity of any such policy or the obligation of the insurer to pay the full amount of any loss sustained. 5.04 Insurance by Manager.

Subject to the terms of any Mortgage and the Ground Lease, if any, any proceeds from business interruption insurance payable to Owner hereunder shall be fairly and equitably apportioned between Owner and Manager in accordance with their respective interests and equities to the end that the fair value of Manager's expectable compensation under this Agreement for the period covered by such business interruption insurance shall be paid to Manager.

ARTICLE VII ACCOUNTS; WORKING FUNDS; RECORDS AND REPORTS 7.01 Bank Accounts. Bank accounts for the Hotel will be established at a banking institution or institutions mutually approved by Owner and Manager, such accounts to be in the name of Owner or the Hotel (the "Hotel Accounts").

Any amounts remaining in the Hotel Accounts on the termination of this Agreement shall be disbursed to Owner; provided, however, that Manager may deduct and retain prior to such disbursement any and all amounts owed by Owner to Manager under this Agreement.

Such greater amount, if any, shall be set forth by notice from Manager to Owner specifically setting forth the amount of the required funds and an explanation of the necessity for such funds. If Manager is unable to perform any of its agreements or covenants under this Agreement because of such failure on the part of Owner to provide the required funds, such failure of performance on the part of Manager shall not be deemed a default on the part of Manager and shall not give rise to any right of termination, damages or any other remedy on the part of Owner against Manager. If Owner fails to deposit all or any portion of the funds so requested and if Manager uses or pledges its credit (Owner agreeing that Manager shall have no obligation to do so) in making ordinary and customary purchases of goods and payments for services for the Hotel on Owner's behalf, Owner shall pay for such purchases when payment is due and shall indemnify and defend Manager against all losses, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, interest and any late payment fees, that may be incurred by or asserted against Manager by reason of Owner's failure to pay for such purchases.

Manager shall keep the books and records for the Hotel in all material respects in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. All of the financial books and records pertaining to the Hotel, including books of account, front office records and guest information, shall be the property of Owner; provided, however, that guest information shall also be the property of Manager and may be used by Manager for any of its business purposes.

If Owner does not supply any historical information necessary for Manager to cause the financial information required by this Paragraph 7.05(b) to be prepared and delivered, which historical information is not otherwise available to Manager, Manager shall not be obligated to prepare and deliver such financial information. Manager shall, nonetheless, deliver to Owner so much of the required financial information as is possible given the historical information, if any, Owner has provided. 7.06 Owner's Rights to Inspection and Review.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 12.03, Owner and Manager mutually agree for the benefit of each other to look first to the appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement in the event any claim or liability occurs as a result of injury to person or damage to property, regardless of the cause of such claim or liability. 12.03.4 Indemnified Parties.

The Expert may determine that neither party's position was substantially upheld. The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs and expenses of the arbitration. 2. Arbitration of Other Disputes. All disputes relating to any matter not encompassed by Paragraph 1 shall be resolved by a two-step process of mediation and arbitration, as follows. 2.1. Mediation. As a prerequisite to either party's initiation of the arbitration process, the parties must first attempt to settle any dispute by participating in at least ten (10) hours of mediation (in a single session, unless the parties agree to adjourn to a second session). (a) The Mediator. Unless agreed otherwise by the parties, the mediation process shall be administered by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. or its successors ("JAMS") under its normal rules and procedures. If, at the time a dispute arises, JAMS does not exist or is unable to administer the resolution of the dispute in accordance with the terms of Section 12.04, then the dispute resolution process shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successors ("AAA") under its normal rules and procedures. If, at the time a dispute arises, AAA does not exist or is unable to administer the dispute resolution process and the parties cannot agree on the identity of a substitute service provider, then there shall be no mediation, and the parties shall proceed to arbitration as described in Paragraph 2.2 below. The mediator shall be chosen by the parties or, if the parties are unable to agree, shall be chosen by the organization administering the mediation. (b) Procedure. The party initiating the mediation shall give notice of the dispute to the other party and then contact JAMS to schedule the mediation. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediation shall take place on a business day not later than fifteen (15) business days, nor earlier than five (5) business days, from the date notice of the dispute is given or as soon thereafter as the mediator is available. Unless otherwise agreed, the mediation shall be conducted at the Hotel. The mediation will be considered complete if: (i) the parties enter into an agreement to resolve the dispute, (ii) the mediator concludes that further mediation would not be productive, (iii) either party fails to appear at or participate in the mediation; or (iv) if the dispute is not resolved within five (5) days after the mediation is completed. The mediator shall certify in writing that the mediation is complete and whether either or both parties participated in good faith. 2.2. Arbitration. If any dispute remains unresolved between the parties after the mediation process has been completed, either party may then submit that dispute (and only that dispute) to final and binding arbitration. No party may initiate an arbitration unless the mediator has certified that the party participated in the mediation in good faith. (a) Selection of the Arbitrators. The party initiating the arbitration shall give notice to the other party setting forth the items to be arbitrated. Within five (5) business days, each party shall select and concurrently designate a party-appointed arbitrator; the two party-appointed arbitrators shall select a third, neutral arbitrator as soon as practicable thereafter. (b) Administration. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS. If, at the time a dispute arises, JAMS does not exist or is unable to administer the resolution of the dispute, then the dispute resolution process shall be administered in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 2.2 by AAA. If, at the time a dispute arises, AAA does not exist or is unable to administer the dispute resolution process and the parties cannot agree on the identity of a substitute service provider, then either party may petition the state or federal district court in the city of New York, New York (unless pursuant to Section 12.19 the Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of a state other than the State of New York, in which event either party may petition a state or federal district court in such state) to appoint an arbitrator to administer the arbitration in accordance with Section 12.04. If such court shall refuse to do so, there shall be no arbitration, and the parties may proceed to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to the parties, as if the provisions of Section 12.04 and the references in this Agreement to the dispute resolution process under Section 12.04 had not been included in this Agreement. (c) Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the service provider, except that the parties specifically acknowledge that they have agreed to arbitrate their disputes in order to avoid the expense and delay of court litigation. Accordingly, the arbitrators shall strictly limit discovery, motion practice, and collateral proceedings to resolve the dispute at issue as efficiently and expeditiously as reasonably possible. (d) Equitable Relief. Subject to the limitations on remedies set forth Subsection 12.11.2 and the applicable law, the arbitrators shall have the power to grant equitable relief, both by way of interim relief or as a part of its final award. (e) Fees and Expenses. During the pendency of the arbitration, the parties shall pay the fees and expenses of their respective party-appointed arbitrators and shall share equally the fees and expenses of the neutral arbitrator. As part of the award, the arbitrators shall designate the party whose position is substantially upheld, who shall recover from the other party all of its costs and attorneys' fees, including its share of the fees and costs paid to the neutral arbitrator, expert witness fees, compensation for in-house counsel, and all other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration. The arbitrators may determine that neither party's position was substantially upheld or otherwise allocate the fees and expenses in accordance with the relative extent to which either party's position was upheld. (f) Venue, Jurisdiction, and Jury Waiver. Each party submits to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of confirming or enforcing any arbitration award rendered pursuant to this section.

The determination of the Committee as to the number of shares to vest and/or to be forfeited at each such Vesting Date shall be conclusive upon all parties hereto and shall be communicated to the Grantee on or prior to such Vesting Date. 4. Restrictions. During the Restricted Period applicable to any Restricted Stock granted hereunder: (a) The Grantee shall not become vested as to any such Restricted Stock if, (i) after taking into account for calculation purposes all of such Grantee's "applicable employee remuneration" other than under the Plan, the vesting of such Restricted Stock would cause the Grantee's "applicable employee remuneration" to exceed $1,000,000 for such taxable year or (ii) the vesting thereof would violate Federal or state securities laws; (b) The Restricted Stock and the right to vote the same and to receive dividends thereon may not, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, and no such sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or encumbrance, whether made or created by voluntary act of the Grantee or by operation of law, shall be recognized by, or be binding upon, or shall in any manner affect the rights of the Company pursuant hereto or the Plan; provided, however, that Grantee may at any time transfer the Restricted Stock to the FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, subject to all of the terms and restrictions set forth herein. (c) If the status of the Grantee as an Employee under the Plan shall terminate for any reason other than (i) the death of the Grantee, (ii) the Disability (as defined in the Plan) of the Grantee, or (iii) the retirement of the Grantee at or after the age of sixty (60), then, in that event, any Restricted Shares outstanding shall, upon such termination, be forfeited by the Grantee to the Company, without the payment of any consideration by the Company, and -3- neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or legal representatives shall thereafter have any further rights or interest in the Restricted Stock so forfeited or any certificates evidencing the same, and the Company shall, at any time thereafter, be entitled to effect the transfer of any Restricted Stock so forfeited into the name of the Company; (d) If the status of the Grantee as an Employee under the Plan shall terminate by reason of the death of the Grantee, the Disability of the Grantee or the retirement of the Grantee at or after the age of sixty (60), the Restricted Period (and all restrictions set forth in this Section 4) with respect to all Restricted Stock granted hereby shall be deemed to have expired as of the date of such event; (e) If the Company (i) is not to be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another entity), (ii) sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity (other than a subsidiary of the Company) or (iii) is to be dissolved and liquidated, the Restricted Period (and all restrictions set forth in this Section 4) with respect to all Restricted Stock granted hereby shall be deemed to have expired as of the date of next preceding such event; (f) Any shares of Restricted Stock eligible to become vested on a given Vesting Date that do not become so vested in accordance with Section 3 above shall be forfeited as of such Vesting Date and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares under the Plan; and (g) If a dispute should arise between the Company and the Grantee relating to the rights, duties or obligations of the Grantee hereunder or under the Plan with respect to any Restricted Stock granted hereby, such dispute shall be resolved by the determination of the Committee, acting in good faith, which determination shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Grantee, and pending such a determination and the resolution of all such disputes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Committee, (i) all Restricted Stock then held by the Company as custodian for the Grantee shall remain in the possession of the Company and subject to all of the Restrictions set forth in this Section 4, regardless of any intervening expiration of the Restricted Period, and (ii) any and all dividends payable upon any Restricted Stock so held by the Company as custodian for the Grantee shall be received and held by the Company as custodian until all such disputes have been resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Committee, at which time the accumulated dividends then held by the Company shall be delivered (without interest thereon) to the person entitled to receive the Restricted Stock upon which such dividends were originally paid. -4- 5. Restrictions on Resale of Company Common Stock. IN THE EVENT THAT SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTED HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, SUCH SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED BY THE GRANTEE ABSENT SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT WILL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO THE GRANTEE TO EVIDENCE RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTED PURSUANT HERETO THAT IS NOT SO REGISTERED MAY BEAR A LEGEND TO THE FOREGOING EFFECT. 6. Notices. All notices, surrenders and other communications required or allowed to be made or given in connection with the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when received and shall be hand delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (i) if to the Company, to FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, 545 E.

Exhibit 14.1

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

The attached Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been adopted by the Board of Directors of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated to protect our company’s reputation for honesty and integrity and to promote compliance with laws, rules and regulations. The following questions and answers provide important information regarding the code and your obligations under it. These questions and answers are not intended to address all aspects of the code or your obligations, and do not limit or modify your responsibilities under the code.

Who is covered by the code?

If you are a director, officer or employee of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, you are subject to this code. At least annually, you will be required to sign a statement certifying that, among other things, you have read and understand the code and agree to comply with it.

What do I need to do to be sure I comply with the code?

Read the code carefully and consider how it may impact what you do. You are encouraged to make a list of questions that you have about the code and your responsibilities under it. Larry Robinson, our general counsel, will hold one or two information sessions for employees over the next month to explain the code and its application to you. Those sessions will provide you with an opportunity to raise any questions that you may have.

What if I’m not sure what is required under the law?

The code requires you to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations. If you have questions regarding either the applicability of, or the conduct required to comply with, any law, rule or regulation, you should seek advice from the company’s legal department.

What is a “conflict of interest”?

A “conflict of interest” exists when your personal or private interest interferes in any way with the interests of the company or your ability to perform your work objectively and effectively.

What if I’m not sure of my obligations in a particular situation?

You are encouraged to talk to your supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel when you are in doubt about the best course of action in a particular circumstance. Tom Corcoran and Larry Robinson are each authorized to determine whether a particular circumstance involving an employee would violate the code.

If I know of, or suspect, a violation of the code, whom should I tell?

You should put it in writing and send it to Tom Corcoran, Larry Robinson or Barbara Lacy. If the violation involves one of those persons, or a director of the company, you should send it to Mr. Ellwood, as the chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, or Robert W. Dockery, the company’s principal outside legal counsel. Contact information for each of these individuals appears at the end of the code.

What if my supervisor tells me to do something that would violate the code?

Don’t do it, report it. No one has the right to order, or even ask, you to violate this code or the law. If anyone does, THEY are violating this code.

Can I get in trouble for reporting a violation of the code by someone else?

No. You may report a violation or suspected violation anonymously. Even if you identify yourself in the report, it is the policy of our company not to allow actual or threatened retaliation, harassment or discrimination due to reports of misconduct by others that are made, in good faith, by employees.

 


 

FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

Introduction

     Our company’s reputation for honesty and integrity is the sum of the personal reputations of our directors, officers and employees. To protect this reputation and to promote compliance with laws, rules and regulations, this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been adopted by our Board of Directors.

     This Code sets out the basic standards of ethics and conduct to which all of our directors, officers and employees are held. These standards are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, but will not cover all situations. If you have any doubts whatsoever as to the propriety of a particular situation, you should submit it in writing to Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., our company’s president, Lawrence D. Robinson, our executive vice president and general counsel, or Barbara Lacy, our vice president and office manager. If your concern relates to one of those individuals, you should submit your concern, in writing, to Richard S. Ellwood, the chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors, or Robert W. Dockery, our principal outside legal counsel. The mailing and e-mail addresses, as well as the telephone and facsimile numbers, of each of these persons is set forth at the end of this Code.

     Those who violate the standards set out in this Code will be subject to disciplinary action.

1. Scope

     If you are a director, officer or employee of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, you are subject to this Code.

2. Honest and Ethical Conduct

     We, as a company, require honest and ethical conduct from all persons subject to this Code. Each of you has a responsibility to all other directors, officers and employees of our company, and to our company itself, to act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing your independent judgment to be subordinated and otherwise to conduct yourself in a manner that meets with the highest ethical and legal standards. Our reputation, as a company, depends upon the ethical and legal conduct of all of our directors, officers and employees.

 


 

3. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

     You are required to comply with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which our company’s ethical standards are built. Although you are not expected to know the details of all the applicable laws, rules and regulations, it is expected that if you have questions regarding either the applicability of, or the conduct required to comply with, any law, rule or regulation you will seek advice from our company’s legal department.

4. Conflicts of Interest

     You must handle in an ethical manner any actual or apparent conflict of interest between your personal and business relationships. Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of policy. A “conflict of interest” exists when a person’s private interest interferes in any way with the interests of our company, as a whole. For example, a conflict situation arises if you take actions or have interests that interfere with your ability to perform your work for our company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also will arise if you, or a member of your family, receive an improper personal benefit as a result of your position with our company. Loans to, or guarantees of the obligations of, you or your family members by our company or by persons doing business with our company are of special concern to us and must be disclosed, in writing, to the company’s president or general counsel.

     If you become aware of any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, you should report it to our company’s president or general counsel.

     Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question regarding a situation that may give rise to a conflict of interest, you should consult with our company’s legal department. Certain kinds of transactions or relationships may raise issues of conflict of interest, but are not necessarily improper or adverse to our company’s best interests. The following standards apply to certain common situations where potential conflicts of interest may arise:

     A. Gifts and Entertainment

Personal gifts and entertainment offered by persons doing business with our company may be accepted when offered in the ordinary and normal course of the business relationship. However, the frequency and cost of any such gifts or entertainment may not be so excessive that your ability to exercise independent judgment on behalf of our company is or may appear to be compromised. Accordingly, if you receive or are offered a gift that you believe to have a value in excess of the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of your annual base compensation and (ii) $500, or entertainment that is in excess of usual and customary levels, by any person providing or offering goods or services to our company, you must promptly disclose the same to our company’s president or general counsel (or the chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors in the case of the company’s president or a director), who will determine whether the gift or entertainment is improper, based upon the standards set out in this Code. Any gift or entertainment determined to be improper must be returned, reimbursed or refused by you.

 


 

     B. Financial Interests In Other Organizations

     The determination of whether any outside investment, financial arrangement or other interest in another organization is improper depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Your ownership of an interest in another organization may be inappropriate if the other organization has a material business relationship with, or is a direct competitor of, our company and your financial interest is of such a size that your ability to exercise independent judgment on behalf of our company is or may appear to be compromised. As a general rule, a passive investment would not likely be considered improper if it: (1) is in publicly traded shares; (2) represents less than 1% of the outstanding equity of the organization in question; and (3) represents less than 5% of your net worth. If you are not certain whether any investment, financial arrangement or interest in another organization would be inappropriate, the details of your investment, financial arrangement or interest must be fully disclosed to our company’s president or general counsel (or the Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, if you are the president or a director of our company), who will make a determination whether it is inappropriate, based upon the standards set out in this Code..

     C. Outside Business Activities

     The determination of whether any outside position you may hold is improper will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. Your involvement in trade associations, professional societies, and charitable and similar organizations will not normally be viewed as improper. However, if those activities are likely to take substantial time from or otherwise conflict with your responsibilities to our company, you should obtain prior approval from your supervisor. Other outside associations or activities in which you may be involved are likely to be viewed as improper only if they would interfere with your ability to devote proper time and attention to your responsibilities to our company or if your involvement is with another company with which our company does business or competes. For a director, employment or affiliation with a company with which our company does business or competes would be improper unless fully disclosed to and approved by our company’s Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors and satisfies any other standards established by applicable law, rule (including rule of any applicable stock exchange) or regulation and any other corporate governance guidelines that our company may establish.

     D. Indirect Violations

     You should not indirectly, through a spouse, family member, affiliate, friend, partner, or associate, have any interest or engage in any activity which would violate this Code if you directly had the interest or engaged in the activity. Any such relationship should be fully disclosed to our company’s president or general counsel (or the Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors if you are the president or a director of our company), who will make a determination whether the relationship is inappropriate, based upon the standards set out in this Code.

 


 

5. Corporate Opportunities

     You are prohibited from taking for yourself, personally, opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position. You may not use corporate property, information, or position for personal gain, or to compete with our company directly. You owe a duty to our company to advance its legitimate interests whenever the opportunity to do so arises.

A diversion of a corporate opportunity or competition with our company that is improper may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should consult with our company’s legal department. Certain kinds of transactions or relationships may raise issues, but are not necessarily improper or adverse to our company’s best interests. Some common situations where these issues can arise are discussed in paragraphs 4 and 10 of this Code. If you are not certain whether an opportunity or activity would be improper, you should not pursue it before disclosing it to our company’s president or general counsel (or the Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee if you are our president or a director of our company), who will make a determination whether the opportunity or activity is inappropriate, based upon the standards set out in this Code.

6. Fair Dealing

     You should endeavor to deal fairly with our company’s suppliers, competitors and employees and with other persons with whom our company does business. You should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practice.

7. Public Disclosures

     It is our company’s policy to provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in all other public communications made by our company.

8. Confidentiality

     You should maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information entrusted to you by our company or by persons with whom our company does business, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors of, or harmful to, our company or persons with whom our company does business, if disclosed.

 


 

9. Insider Trading

     If you have access to material, non-public information concerning our company, you are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes, or for any other purpose except the conduct of our company’s business. All non-public information about our company should be considered confidential information. Insider trading, which is the use of material, non-public information for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information, is not only unethical but also illegal. Violations of this prohibition against “insider trading” may subject you to criminal or civil liability, in addition to disciplinary action by our company. If you have any questions, please consult our company’s legal department.

10. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

     You should protect our company’s assets and promote their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on our company’s profitability. All corporate assets should be used for legitimate business purposes.

     In general, if you have any question as to the propriety of any personal usage of our company’s assets, you should disclose the proposed usage to our company’s president or general counsel (or the Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee if you are our president or a director), who will make a determination as to the propriety of any proposed usage. However, specific standards applicable to several common situations are discussed below:

     A. Complimentary or Discounted Hotel Services

     Independent third party managers operate all of our company’s hotels, and their decision with respect to the granting of requests for complementary and/or discounted hotel services by directors, officers and employees of our company will be final. Any privileges that may be extended to you by our third party managers should not be abused.

     B. Office Supplies and Services

     Office supplies and equipment belonging to our company should be used for corporate purposes, although we will permit some nominal usage of these items for your personal benefit. For example, you may use the corporation’s copiers to make a limited number of personal copies. However, if you use our company’s Federal Express account, postage meter or long-distance telephone services for personal purposes, you should arrange to reimburse our company for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. If you have any question as to the propriety of any personal usage of our company’s office supplies or equipment, you should discuss the same with our company’s president, general counsel or office manager, who will make a determination as to the propriety of any proposed use.

 


 

11. Waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

     If you are uncertain whether a particular activity or relationship is improper under this Code or requires a waiver of this Code, you should disclose it to our company’s president or general counsel (or the Board of Directors or Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee if you are our president or director), who will make a determination first whether a waiver of this Code is required and second, if required, whether a waiver will be granted. You may be required to agree to conditions before a waiver or a continuing waiver is granted. However, any waiver of this Code for an executive officer or director may be made only by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. In addition, any waiver, or implicit waiver, of this Code for an executive officer or director must be promptly disclosed by our company to the extent required by applicable law, rule (including any rule of any applicable stock exchange) or regulation.

12. Reporting any Illegal or Unethical Behavior

     Our company desires to promote ethical behavior. Employees are encouraged to talk to supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel when in doubt about the best course of action in a particular situation. Additionally, employees should promptly report violations of laws, rules, regulations or this Code to our company’s president or general counsel. Any report or allegation of a violation of applicable laws, rules, regulations or this Code need not be signed and may be sent anonymously. All reports of violations of this Code, including reports sent anonymously, will be promptly investigated and, if found to be accurate, acted upon in a timely manner. If any report of wrongdoing relates to accounting or financial reporting matters, or relates to persons involved in the development or implementation of our company’s system of internal controls, a copy of the report will be promptly provided to the chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which may participate in the investigation and resolution of the matter. It is the policy of our company not to allow actual or threatened retaliation, harassment or discrimination due to reports of misconduct by others made in good faith by employees. Employees are expected to cooperate in internal investigations of misconduct.

13. Compliance Standards and Procedures

     This Code is intended as a statement of basic principles and standards and does not include specific rules that apply to every situation. Its contents have to be viewed within the framework of our company’s other policies, practices, instructions and the requirements of the law. This Code is in addition to other policies, practices or instructions of our company that must be observed. Moreover, the absence of a specific corporate policy, practice or instruction covering a particular situation does not relieve you of the responsibility for exercising the highest ethical standards applicable to the circumstances.

     In some situations, it is difficult to know right from wrong. Because this Code does not anticipate every situation that will arise, it is important that each of you approach a new question or problem in a deliberate fashion:

  (a)   Determine if all facts are known.
 
  (b)   Determine what is the specific conduct or action in question.

 


 

  (c)   Clarify responsibilities and roles.
 
  (d)   Discuss the problem with a supervisor.
 
  (e)   Seek help from other resources such as other management personnel or our company’s legal department.
 
  (f)   Seek guidance before taking any action that you believe may be unethical or dishonest.

You will be governed by the following compliance standards:

  •   You are personally responsible for your own conduct and for complying with all provisions of this Code and for properly reporting known or suspected violations;
 
  •   If you are a supervisor, manager, director or officer, you must use your best efforts to ensure that employees understand and comply with this Code;
 
  •   No one has the authority or right to order, request or even influence you to violate this Code or the law; a request or order from another person will not be an excuse for your violation of this Code;
 
  •   Any attempt by you to induce another director, officer or employee of our company to violate this Code, whether successful or not, is itself a violation of this Code and may be a violation of law;
 
  •   Any retaliation or threat of retaliation against any director, officer or employee of our company for refusing to violate this Code, or for reporting in good faith the violation or suspected violation of this Code, is itself a violation of this Code and may be a violation of law; and
 
  •   Our company expects that every reported violation of this Code will be investigated.

     Violation of any of the standards contained in this Code, or in any other policy, practice or instruction of our company, can result in disciplinary actions, including dismissal and civil or criminal action against the violator. This Code should not be construed as a contract of employment and does not change any person’s status as an at-will employee.

     This Code is for the benefit of our company, and no other person is entitled to enforce this Code. This Code does not, and should not be construed to, create any private cause of action or remedy in any other person for a violation of the Code.
