NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization

In 1994, FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, or FelCor, a real estate investment trust, or REIT, went public with six hotels and a market capitalization of $120 million. We are now one of the nation’s largest public lodging REITs, based on total assets and number of hotel rooms owned. We are the owner of the largest number of Embassy Suites Hotels^{^®}and Doubletree Guest Suites^{^®} hotels in North America. Our portfolio includes 65 upper upscale, all-suite hotels.

FelCor is the sole general partner of, and the owner of a more than 97% interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP. All of our operations are conducted solely through FelCor LP and its subsidiaries.

At June 30, 2006, we had ownership interests in 118 hotels. We owned a 100% real estate interest in 89 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owning seven hotels, a 75% interest in an entity owning one hotel, a 60% interest in an entity owning two hotels and 50% interests in unconsolidated entities that own 19 hotels. We hold majority interests in the operating lessees of 113 of these hotels, consequently, we include their operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. The operations of 110 of these consolidated hotels were included in continuing operations at June 30, 2006, and three hotels were designated as held for sale and included in discontinued operations. The operating revenues and expenses of the remaining five hotels are unconsolidated.

At June 30, 2006, we had an aggregate of 61,955,094 shares of FelCor common stock and 1,355,016 units of FelCor LP limited partnership interests outstanding.

The following table reflects the distribution, by brand, of our 110 consolidated hotels included in continuing operations at June 30, 2006:


Brand	Hotels		Rooms
Embassy Suites Hotels		54		13,653
Doubletree^{^®} and Doubletree Guest Suites		7		1,471
Holiday Inn^{^®} — branded		29		9,846
Sheraton^{^®} and Sheraton Suites^{^®}		10		3,274
Other brands		10		3,234

Total hotels		110		31,478

The hotels shown in the above table are located in the United States (108 hotels in 27 states) and Canada (two hotels), with concentrations in Texas (20 hotels), California (17 hotels), Florida (13 hotels) and Georgia (10 hotels). Approximately 55% of our hotel room revenues in continuing operations were generated from hotels in these four states during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

At June 30, 2006, of our 110 consolidated hotels included in continuing operations, (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, managed 63, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed 33 (iii) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., or Starwood, managed 11, and (iv) other independent management companies managed three.

The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is unaudited. Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.

2. Foreign Currency Translation

Operating results 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 rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income included in stockholders’ equity.

3. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

We owned 50% interests in joint venture entities that owned 19 hotels at June 30, 2006, and at December 31, 2005. We also owned a 50% interest in joint venture entities that own real estate and provide condominium management services in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, 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 depreciation of our excess basis in investment in unconsolidated entities when compared to the historical basis of the assets recorded by the joint ventures.

The following table sets forth summarized combined financial information for these unconsolidated entities (including the equity we do not own) (in thousands):

(c)		We have swapped $100 million of floating rate debt, at L + 4.25 percent, for a fixed rate of 7.80 percent. This interest rate swap expires in December 2007.

(d)		This debt has a one-year extension option, subject to certain contingencies.

(e)		We have a $69.8 million recourse construction loan facility for the development of a 184-unit condominium project in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The interest on this facility is being capitalized as part of the cost of the project. Effective July 1, 2006, the interest rate on this loan facility was reduced to L + 200 basis points.

We reported interest expense of $28.6 million and $32.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $0.9 million and $0.8 million and (ii) capitalized interest of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We reported interest expense of $59.3 million and $64.8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, net of: (i) interest income of $1.6 million and $1.4 million and (ii) capitalized interest of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

4. Debt ¾ (continued)

At June 30, 2006, we had aggregate mortgage indebtedness of approximately $729 million that was secured by 46 of our consolidated hotels with an aggregate book value of approximately $1.2 billion and our by Royale Palms condominium development. Our hotel mortgage debt is recourse solely to the specific assets securing the debt, except in the case of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse carve-out provisions. Loans secured by 10 hotels provide for lock-box arrangements under certain circumstances. With respect to these loans secured by 10 hotels, we are permitted to retain 115% of budgeted hotel operating expenses, but the remaining revenues would become subject to a lock-box arrangement if a specified debt service coverage ratio is not met. The mortgage loans secured by eight of these 10 hotels also provide that, if the debt service coverage ratios remain below a second, even lower minimum level, the lender may retain any excess cash (after deduction for 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 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 us. Eight of these 10 hotels, which accounted for 6% of our total revenues in 2005, are currently subject to the lock-box provisions because they failed to meet the debt service coverage ratio in 2004. These hotels currently exceed the minimum debt service coverage ratio, however, under the terms of the loan agreement, the lock-box provisions remain in place until the loan is repaid. None of these hotels have ever fallen below the lower minimum debt service coverage ratio.

In April 2006, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the ratings of our senior unsecured debt to Ba3, from B1, with a stable outlook. The upgrade applies to all of our outstanding senior unsecured notes. The upgrade resulted in a reduction in the interest rate, from 9.0% to 8.5%, on approximately $300 million in principal of senior unsecured notes maturing in 2011 effective April 3, 2006.

In the second quarter of 2006 we refinanced the mortgage debt with regard to one hotel. In connection with this refinancing, we retired a $10.4 million mortgage loan paying 7.91% interest. Associated with the retirement of this debt, we recorded a charge of $0.5 million relating to deferred financing costs and early extinguishment of debt. The refinanced mortgage is for $13.0 million paying 5.81% interest. The loan agreement required that $6.4 million be placed in restricted cash to pay for property renovations over the next six to 12 months.

5. Derivatives

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the effect of interest rate fluctuations. We limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use interest rate hedges to manage our fixed and floating interest rate position and do not speculate on interest rates. We manage interest rate risk based on the varying circumstances of anticipated borrowings and existing floating and fixed rate debt. We generally seek to pursue interest rate risk mitigation strategies that will result in the least amount of reported earnings volatility under GAAP 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.

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 June 30, 2006, we had three interest rate swaps, with an 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 with any adjustments reflected in other comprehensive income. The estimated unrealized net gain on these interest rate swap agreements was approximately $2.7 million at June 30, 2006 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 L + 4.25% and the interest rate paid is 7.80%. These swaps were 100% effective through June 30, 2006.

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 $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and increased interest expense by $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

5. Derivatives ¾ (continued)

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- or better.

To fulfill requirements under certain loans, we purchased interest rate caps with aggregate notional amounts of $172.4 million and $224.3 million as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We also sold interest rate caps on a portion of these notional amounts with identical terms. These caps had aggregate notional amounts of $83.6 million and $224.3 million as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These purchased and sold interest rate cap agreements have not been designated as hedges. The fair value of both the purchased and sold interest rate caps were insignificant at both June 30, 2006 and 2005 and resulted in no significant net earnings impact.

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

The following table summarizes the components of hotel operating revenue from continuing operations (in thousands):

Total hotel operating revenue	$	308,493	$	285,775	$	604,780	$	541,265

For the first six months of both 2006 and 2005, over 99% of our revenue was comprised of hotel operating revenue, which included 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 1% of our revenue was from retail space rental revenue and other sources.

(a)		Operating lease expense includes hotel lease expense of $17.0 million and $15.4 million associated with 14 hotels leased by us from unconsolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $31.4 million and $28.0 million associated with 14 hotels leased by us from unconsolidated subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. $10.8 million and $9.1 million in percentage rent based on operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $18.5 million and $14.4 million in percentage rent based on operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are included in operating lease expense.

8. 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.

In the second quarter of 2006, we designated seven additional hotels as non-strategic and tested these hotels under the provisions of SFAS No. 144. Of the hotels tested, one such hotel failed the test under SFAS No. 144, which resulted in an impairment charge of $9 million to write down the hotel asset to our then-current estimate of its fair market value.

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 then 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 weaken, or if we shorten our contemplated holding period for certain of our hotels.

9. Discontinued Operations

Included in discontinued operations are the results of operations of three hotels designated as held for sale at June 30, 2006, 12 hotels sold in 2006 and 19 hotels sold or otherwise disposed of in 2005, through the date of disposition. The following table summarizes the condensed financial information for the hotels included in discontinued operations (in thousands):

(a)		$0.7 million and $1.3 million of impairment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, are included in operating expenses.

In 2006, we sold eight hotels in the first quarter and four hotels in the second quarter for aggregate gross proceeds of $240.8 million. We used the proceeds from the sale of those hotels and cash on hand to retire net indebtedness aggregating $252.5 million.

In 2005, we sold 11 hotels for gross proceeds of $79.2 million. Additionally, in 2005 we relinquished title to the non-recourse mortgage holder of eight limited service hotels, owned by a consolidated joint venture, in exchange for the extinguishment of $49.2 million of debt. In connection with these eight hotels we recorded $1.3 million of asset disposition costs, which were included in operating expenses, in the first quarter of 2005.

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. As of June 30, 2006, we owned three that were held for sale. The operating results of these hotels are included in discontinued operations.

11. Stock Based Compensation Plans

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and to record compensation cost for (i) all stock awards granted after the required date of adoption and to (ii) awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. In addition, we are required to record compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption as such previous awards continue to vest. We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, or APB 25, and related interpretations in accounting for our stock based compensation plans for stock based compensation issued prior to January 1, 2003. Had the compensation cost for these stock-based compensation plans been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123 our net loss from continuing operations and net loss from continuing operations per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, would approximate the pro forma amounts below (in thousands, except per share data):

12. FelCor LP Units

During the first six months of 2006, we issued an aggregate of 1,407,524 shares of our common stock from treasury, all of which were issued to holders of FelCor LP units upon redemption of a like number of units.

13. Application of New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation Number 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. The Company must determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation clearly scopes out income tax positions related to FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 48, if any, and will adopt the provisions of this statement beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48, if any, will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2007.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

In the second quarter of 2006, our revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 8.4% for our consolidated hotels in continuing operations and our average daily room rate, or ADR, comprised 98% of the increase in RevPAR. The significant increase in ADR at our hotels was largely responsible for a 178 basis point improvement in hotel earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin, or Hotel EBITDA margin, compared to the same period in 2005.

We are investing in our core hotels to improve their quality, returns on investment and competitive position. During the first six months of 2006, our pro rata share of hotel capital expenditures totaled $76 million and the resulting displacement resulted in reduction to RevPAR (approximately 1%) and EBITDA (approximately $3 million), which negatively affected Hotel EBITDA margin by approximately 30 basis points. In the second quarter of 2006, we estimate that the displacement from hotel renovations resulted in reduction to RevPAR (approximately 1%) and EBITDA (approximately $2 million), which negatively affected Hotel EBITDA margin by approximately 35 basis points. We expect hotel capital expenditures to be approximately $175 million for 2006, and we plan to incur capital expenditures in 2007 at a similar or greater pace.

In 2006 we sold eight hotels in the first quarter and four hotels in the second quarter for aggregate gross proceeds of $241 million. We used the proceeds from the sale of these hotels and cash on hand to retire approximately $253 million of aggregate indebtedness. During the second quarter of 2006 in connection with the finalization of our capital improvement program, we identified seven additional hotels as non-strategic and recorded an impairment charge of $9 million related to one of these hotels. After considering this impairment charge, we expect to record an aggregate net gain of approximately $20 million from the sale of these seven hotels.

At June 30, 2006, including the additional seven non-strategic hotels, we had 30 non-strategic hotels that we are marketing for sale, including 20 hotels that were under contract for sale. The contracts for three of these hotels have non-refundable deposits and we have designated these three hotels as held for sale and included them in discontinued operations. We estimate that the gross proceeds from the disposition of these 30 non-strategic hotels will be approximately $395 to $445 million.

We continue to review and evaluate our hotel portfolio on an ongoing basis and may identify additional non-strategic hotels for sale based upon various factors. If we decide to sell additional hotels or if our estimates of market value for the hotels currently designated as non-strategic decline, we could incur additional impairment charges in the future.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded net income applicable to common stockholders of $467,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss of $5 million, or $0.08 per share, for the same period in 2005. We had income from continuing operations of $11 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $7 million for the same period in 2005. We incurred a $9 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2006, which reduced income from continuing operations.

Total revenue from continuing operations was $309 million, an 8% increase compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in revenue is principally attributed to an 8.4% increase in RevPAR compared to same period in 2005, which is consistent with the overall performance of the sector. We estimate that hotel renovations displaced approximately 1% of RevPAR in the second quarter of 2006.

In the second quarter of 2006, 98% of our increased RevPAR was attributed to increases in ADR. Increased ADR typically improves Hotel EBITDA margin because hotels are receiving more revenue for each guest. In the second quarter of 2006, our Hotel EBITDA margin improved by 178 basis points over the same period in 2005. We estimate that hotel renovation displacement reduced our Hotel EBITDA margin by approximately 35 basis points in the second quarter of 2006.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2006 increased by $24 million or 9.5%, and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 87.5% to 88.8%, compared to the same period in 2005. We recorded an impairment charge on one hotel included in continuing operations, which increased total operating expenses by $9 million, or 2.9% of total revenue, in the second quarter of 2006.

In the second quarter of 2006, hotel departmental expenses, which consist of rooms expense, food and beverage expense and other operating departments, increased by $6 million, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 33.4% to 32.8%, compared to the same period in 2005. These costs are directly related to the number of hotel guests and continue to improve as ADR increases relative to total revenue.

In the second quarter of 2006, other property operating costs, which consist of general and administrative costs, marketing costs, repairs and maintenance and utility expense, increased by $3 million, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 27.4% to 26.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2005. All of the components of other property operating costs improved as a percentage of total revenue, except for utility cost, which remained constant as a percentage of total revenue.

In the second quarter of 2006, management and franchise fee expense increased $2 million and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 5.2% to 5.5%, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in management and franchise fees as a percentage of total revenue reflects increased incentive management fees earned from improved hotel profits.

In the second quarter of 2006, taxes, insurance and lease expense increased by $2 million, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 10.6% to 10.4%, compared to the same period in 2005. Increases in lease expenses (resulting from increased revenues), taxes and property insurance were partially offset by reduction in general liability insurance.

In the second quarter of 2006, corporate expenses increased by $1 million an increase as a percentage of total revenue from 1.7% to 1.8%, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in corporate expenses is attributable principally to additional asset management positions and current year stock grants.

In the second quarter of 2006, depreciation expense increased $1 million, compared to the same period in 2005. This increase is attributable to the $112 million of capital expenditures incurred in 2005.

In the second quarter of 2006, we designated seven additional hotels as non-strategic and tested these hotels under the provisions of SFAS No. 144. Of the hotels tested, one such hotel’s projected cash flows, under a reduced holding period, was less than its net book value. This resulted in an impairment charge of $9 million to write down the hotel asset to our then-current estimate of its fair market value.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2006 decreased by $1 million compared to the same period in 2005. This decrease in operating income reflected the impairment charge described above, which was partially offset by increased revenue and improvements in Hotel EBITDA margins, which resulted principally from increased ADR.

Net interest expense included in continuing operations for the second quarter decreased $4 million, or 13.2%, in the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. This reflected a $316 million reduction in our average outstanding debt.

In the second quarter 2006, we refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering one of our consolidated hotels. In connection with this refinancing, we recorded a charge of $1 million relating to deferred financing costs associated with the retired mortgage and costs related to the early extinguishment of debt.

Minority interests increased by $1 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. This increase principally reflects a minority holder’s 10% interest in the hotel with respect to which we incurred a $9 million impairment charge in the second quarter of 2006.

Discontinued operations includes the operating income, direct interest costs, net losses and other costs of disposition related to 12 hotels sold during the first six months of 2006, 19 hotels disposed in 2005 and three hotels held for sale at June 30, 2006.

Net income for the second quarters of both 2005 and 2006 was $10 million.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded net income applicable to common stockholders of $641,000 or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss of $23 million, or $0.38 per share, for the same period in 2005. We had income from continuing operations of $21 million in the first six months of 2006, compared to $632,000 for the prior year six month period. We incurred an impairment charge in the second quarter of 2006, which reduced income from continuing operations.

Total revenue from continuing operations was $605 million, an 11.7% increase compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in revenue is principally attributed to an 11.5% increase in RevPAR compared to the same six month period of 2005. The increase in RevPAR resulted from increases in both ADR (71%) and occupancy (29%). Our increases in RevPAR are consistent with the overall performance of our sector. We estimate that hotel renovations displaced approximately 1% of RevPAR in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

In the first six months of 2006, 71% of our increased RevPAR was attributed to increases in ADR. Increased ADR typically improves Hotel EBITDA margin because hotels are receiving more revenue for each guest. In the first six months of 2006, our Hotel EBITDA margin improved by 241 basis points over the same period in 2005. We estimate that renovation displacement reduced our Hotel EBITDA margin by approximately 30 basis points in the six months ending June 30, 2006, but this was largely offset by business interruption proceeds which contributed 26 basis points of Hotel EBITDA margin improvement.

Total operating expenses for the first six months of 2006 increased by $48 million, or 10%, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 89% to 88%, compared to the same period in 2005. We recorded an impairment charge on one hotel included in continuing operations, which increased total operating expenses by $9 million, or 1.5% of total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, hotel departmental expenses, which consist of rooms expense, food and beverage expense and other operating departments, increased by $16 million, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 33.6% to 32.6% compared to the same period in 2005. These costs are directly related to the number of hotel guests and should continue to improve as ADR increases relative to the increase in RevPAR.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, other property operating costs, which consist of general and administrative costs, marketing costs, repairs and maintenance and utility expense, increased by $12 million, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 28.3% to 27.2% compared to the same period in 2005. All of the components of other property operating costs improved as a percentage of total revenue, except for utility cost, which increased slightly as a percentage of total revenue.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, management and franchise fee expense increased $5 million and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 5.1% to 5.4% compared to the same period in 2005. The increase as a percentage of total revenue reflects increased incentive management fees earned from improved hotel profits.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, taxes, insurance and lease expense increased by $3 million, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 10.8% to 10.2% compared to the same period in 2005. Increases in lease expenses (resulting from increased revenues), taxes and property insurance were partially offset by reduction in general liability insurance.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, corporate expenses increased by $2 million and increased slightly as a percentage of total revenue from 1.7% to 1.9% compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in corporate expenses is attributable principally to additional asset management positions, current year stock grants and severance arrangements.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, depreciation expense increased $2 million compared to the same period in 2005. This increase is attributable to the $112 million of capital expenditures incurred in 2005.

In the second quarter of 2006, we designated seven additional hotels as non-strategic and tested these hotels under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 periods. Of the hotels tested, one such hotel’s projected cash flows under a reduced holding period was less than its net book value, which resulted in an impairment charge of $9 million to write down the hotel asset to our then-current estimate of its fair market value.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by $15 million or 26% compared to the same period in 2005. This improvement in operating income reflected the increased revenue and improvements in Hotel EBITDA margins, which resulted principally from increased ADR partially offset by a $9 million impairment charge.

Net interest expense included in continuing operations decreased $5 million, or 8.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. This reflected a $278 million reduction in our average outstanding debt.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, equity in income from unconsolidated entities increased by $1 million, compared to the same period in 2005. This reflected the increased RevPAR for our unconsolidated hotels and an improvement in their Hotel EBITDA margins in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Discontinued operations includes operating income, direct interest costs, net losses and other costs of disposition related to 12 hotels sold during the six months ended June 30, 2006, 19 hotels disposed in 2005 and three hotels held for sale at June 30, 2006.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $20 million, compared to $2 million the same period in 2005.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including FFO, EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA 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 the limitations of such measures.

The following tables detail our computation of FFO and EBITDA (in thousands):

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 EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA 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, or 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 EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are 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 EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA 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 on a property-level basis. We eliminate depreciation and amortization because, even though depreciation and amortization are property-level expenses, we do not believe that these non-cash expenses, which are based on historical cost accounting for real estate assets and implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, accurately reflect an adjustment in the value of our assets. We also eliminate consolidated percentage rent paid to unconsolidated entities, which is effectively eliminated by minority interest expense and equity in income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, and include the cost of unconsolidated taxes, insurance and lease expense, to reflect the entire operating costs applicable to our hotels.

Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. FFO, EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to FFO, EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA 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.

Hotel Portfolio Composition

The following tables set forth, as June 30, 2006, for 110 hotels included in our consolidated portfolio of continuing operations, distribution by brand, by our top metropolitan markets, by selected states, by type of location, and by market segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to stockholders and repayments of indebtedness, is from hotel operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash flow provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of hotel operations, was $93 million. At June 30, 2006, we had cash on hand of $67 million, including approximately $41 million held under management agreements to meet minimum working capital requirements.

In the first six months of 2006, we paid first and second quarter 2006 common dividends of $0.15 and $0.20 per share, respectively. Our board of directors will determine the amount of future common and preferred dividends for each quarter, based upon the actual operating results for that quarter, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as the minimum REIT distribution requirements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we experienced significant displacement from hotel renovation that reduced revenues and Hotel EBITDA margins. We expect that the effect of ongoing displacement in the remainder of 2006 will be greater than the first half of the year.

We currently expect that our cash flow provided by operating activities for 2006 will be approximately $165 million to $170 million. These cash flow forecasts assume that RevPAR increases by 8% to 10% and Hotel EBITDA margin increases of approximately 170 basis points. Our current operating plan contemplates that we will make aggregate common dividend payments of $35 million, preferred dividend payments of $39 million and $17 million in normal recurring principal payments, leaving surplus cash flow (before capital expenditures and additional debt reduction) of approximately $74 million to $79 million. In 2006, we plan to spend approximately $175 million for capital expenditures, which will be funded with proceeds from the sale of non-strategic hotels and cash. In the first six months of 2006, we sold 12 non-strategic hotels for gross proceeds aggregating $241 million, and designated seven additional hotels as non-strategic. At June 30, 2006, we had 30 non-strategic hotels that we are marketing for sale, including 20 hotels that were under contract for sale. The proceeds from the sale of these remaining non-strategic hotels are expected to be approximately $395 to $445 million, and we expect to sell substantially all of these hotels by the end of 2007.

During the first quarter of 2006, our hotels in New Orleans and surrounding markets, such as Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas, benefited from the increase in demand for hotel rooms, resulting from the displacement of New Orleans residents and the influx of relief and construction workers following Hurricane Katrina. In the second quarter of 2006, the initial relief work was completed in New Orleans, and there was an exodus of first responders from the area. The shift away from relief workers and temporary housing to ongoing construction workers has dramatically reduced the demand in New Orleans, however, the surrounding markets continue to benefit from a strong demand for convention and group business that was moved from New Orleans, through the second quarter.

Events, including terrorist attacks, natural disasters, 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. Events, or circumstances of similar magnitude or impact, could adversely affect the availability and cost of our capital. In addition, any slowdown of the overall economy and of the lodging industry could adversely affect our operating cash flow and the availability and cost of capital for our business.

We are subject to increases in hotel operating expenses, including wage and benefit costs, repair and maintenance expenses, utilities and insurance expenses, that can fluctuate disproportionately to revenues. Operating expenses are difficult to predict and control, which can produce volatility in our operating results. Our Hotel EBITDA margins from continuing operations increased in 2005 and the first six months of 2006. However, if our hotel RevPAR decreases and/or Hotel EBITDA margins shrink, our operations, earnings and/or cash flow could suffer a material adverse effect.

Debt

In 2006, as a result of the current economic recovery, its impact on the travel and lodging industries, and our lower secured debt levels, in 2006 Standard & Poor’s raised its ratings on our senior unsecured debt from B- to B and Moody’s Investors Service raised its ratings from B1 to Ba3. As a result of the Moody’s upgrade, effective April 3, 2006, the interest rate applicable to $300 million of our senior unsecured debt maturing in 2011 decreased from 9% to 8.5%, reducing our annualized interest expense by $1.5 million. If the credit rating on our senior debt is downgraded by Moody’s to B1 and Standard & Poor’s rating remains below BB-, the interest rate on this debt will increase from 8.5% to 9%.

In the first six months of 2006, we retired approximately $253 million of aggregate debt with proceeds of hotel sales and cash. In connection with the early debt retirement, we recorded $1 million of expense in the first six months of 2006.

Line of Credit

Our $125 million line of credit contains certain restrictive covenants, including a leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered leverage ratio and a maximum payout ratio. The interest on our line ranges from 175 to 225 basis points over LIBOR, based on our leverage ratio as defined in our line of credit agreement. In addition to financial covenants, our line of credit includes certain other affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on our ability to create or acquire wholly-owned subsidiaries; restrictions on the operation/ownership of our hotels; limitations on our ability to lease property or guarantee leases of other persons; limitations on our ability to make restricted payments (such as distributions on common and preferred stock, share repurchases and certain investments); limitations on our ability to merge or consolidate with other persons, to issue stock of our subsidiaries and to sell all or substantially all of our assets; restrictions on our ability to make investments in condominium developments; limitations on our ability to change the nature of our business; limitations on our ability to modify certain instruments, to create liens, to enter into transactions with affiliates; and limitations on our ability to enter into joint ventures. At the date of this filing, we were in compliance with all of these covenants. If operating results fall significantly below our current expectations, we may not be able to meet some or all of these covenants in which case we may be unable to borrow under our line of credit.

The breach of any of the covenants and limitations under our line of credit could result in the acceleration of amounts outstanding. Our failure to satisfy any accelerated recourse indebtedness, if in the amount of $10 million or more, could result in the acceleration of most of our other unsecured recourse indebtedness. We may not be able to refinance or repay our debt in full under those circumstances.

Our other borrowings contain affirmative and negative covenants that are generally equal to or less restrictive than our line of credit.

Construction Loan

In 2005, we started construction on the 184 unit Royale Palms condominium development in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This project is more than 98% pre-sold and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2007. In conjunction with this development, we entered into a $70 million recourse construction loan facility. Through June 30, 2006, we had spent $40 million on this project and had drawn $34 million on the construction loan. Effective July 1, 2006, the interest on this construction loan was reduced from 225 basis points over LIBOR to 200 basis points over LIBOR.

Mortgage Debt

The mortgage loans secured by eight of these 10 hotels also provide that, if the debt service coverage ratios remain below a second, even lower minimum level, the lender may retain any excess cash (after deduction for 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 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 us. Eight of these 10 hotels, which accounted for 6% of our total revenues in 2005, are currently subject to the lock-box provisions because they failed to meet the debt service coverage ratio in 2004. These hotels currently exceed the minimum debt service coverage ratio, however, under the terms of the loan agreement, the lock-box provisions remain in place until the loan is repaid. None of these hotels have ever fallen below the lower minimum debt service coverage ratio.

Our hotel 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, yield maintenance or defeasance obligations.

Senior Notes

Our publicly-traded senior unsecured notes require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and 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. Although our current debt-to-EDITDA ratio is below 4.85 to 1, a decline in our EBITDA, as a result of asset sales, adverse economic developments or an increase in our debt, could make us subject to this limitation. In addition, if we were unable to continue to satisfy the incurrence test under the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, 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.

We currently anticipate that we will meet our financial covenant and incurrence tests based on current RevPAR expectations. For 2006, we currently anticipate that our portfolio RevPAR will be 8% to 10% above the prior year.

Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competition 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. If competition requires us to reduce room rates or limits our ability to raise room rates in the future, we may not be able to adjust our room rates to reflect the effects of inflation in full, in which case our operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected.

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.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

At June 30, 2006, approximately 77% of our consolidated debt had fixed interest rates, after considering interest rate swaps. Currently, market rates of interest are below the rates we are obligated to pay on our fixed-rate debt.

The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and debt obligations. For debt obligations, the table presents scheduled maturities and weighted average interest rates, by maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents 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 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.

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 our interest rate swap agreements are AA- or better.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our 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 chief 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 chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

(b) 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 quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the second quarter 2006, we issued an aggregate of one million 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, since the transaction did not involve a public offering.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

FelCor held its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or Annual Meeting, on May 16, 2006. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of FelCor elected Richard S. Ellwood, Robert A. Mathewson and Richard A. Smith to serve as Class III Directors until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2009.
