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

General

In 2008, the lodging industry saw the first nationwide decreases in RevPAR since 2002, which were the result of the onset of a profound global recession. We were able to outperform the industry by gaining market share and posting a 1.0% increase in RevPAR. Our performance was largely attributable to our $450 million hotel renovation program, which was substantially completed in 2008.

As lodging demand slowed in 2008, we worked closely with our brand-managers to cut operating costs in the lower RevPAR environment. Many of our hotels were able to reduce labor costs permanently, and all of our hotels trimmed non-critical functions. This enabled us to maintain EBITDA margins.

We entered 2009 in the midst of a recession. Our hotels are focused on maintaining market share, protecting ADR and preserving EBITDA margins, while we are focused on managing our balance sheet, including maturing debt and compliance with debt covenants. We have $132 million of non-recourse mortgage debt, in the aggregate, that matures in 2009. Of this debt, a $117 million loan, secured by seven hotels, matures in April 2009. At the time of this filing we have agreed in principle on the material terms to refinance this loan for five years with Prudential Mortgage Capital, one of the current lenders (with respect to which we have paid a non-refundable $300,000 portion of the origination fee) and are negotiating final documentation. We expect to close the refinancing prior to maturity, subject to documentation, due diligence and customary conditions. We have a variety of financing alternatives in the unlikely event that we are unable to refinance this loan. We also have two other non-recourse mortgage loans aggregating $15 million, secured by two hotels, that mature in 2009; we expect to repay these loans through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings.

Our line of credit contains certain restrictive financial covenants, with which we were in compliance at the date of this filing. Our compliance with these covenants in future periods will depend substantially on the financial results of our hotels. If current financial market conditions persist and our business continues to deteriorate, we may breach one or more of our financial covenants.

We have agreed in principle on the material terms with the lead lender of a new $200 million term loan, which would be secured by first mortgages on eight currently unencumbered hotels and, assuming all extension options are exercised, will not mature until 2013. This loan would not be subject to any corporate financial covenants and would only be recourse to the borrower, a to-be-formed wholly-owned subsidiary. While we believe that we will successfully close our new secured term loan, as discussed above, we have several other alternatives available to ensure continued compliance with our financial covenants or repay our line of credit, including identifying other sources of debt or equity financing, selling unencumbered hotels and/or implementing additional cost cutting measures. Of course, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to close our new secured term loan, identify additional sources of debt or equity financing or sell hotels on terms that are favorable or otherwise acceptable to us.

In 2006, we embarked on a $450 million renovation program at our portfolio designed to improve the quality, returns on investment and competitive positions of these hotels. In 2008, we substantially completed these renovations. We believe that our renovated hotels will continue to perform better than the industry average for at least the first year following renovation.

In 2007, we began the process of rebranding our property in San Francisco Union Square as a Marriott hotel. The comprehensive renovation includes guest rooms, guest baths, guest corridors, meeting space, food and beverage outlets, public areas and building exterior and will be completed by mid-2009. Marriott took over management of the hotel in December 2007, which is operating as Hotel 480 until it is reflagged as a Marriott hotel in April 2009.

We regularly review and evaluate our hotel portfolio and may from time to time identify additional hotels to sell based upon strategic considerations such as future supply growth, changes in demand dynamics, concentration risk, strategic fit, return on future capital needs and return on invested capital. We currently have five hotels identified for sale (we intend to hold these hotels as long as necessary to obtain satisfactory pricing) and may identify additional hotels for sale in the future. In 2008, we tested eight hotels that had been identified as sale candidates (of which three no longer are sale candidates and five hotels remain sale candidates) for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 using undiscounted estimated cash flows over a shortened

estimated remaining hold period. Of the hotels tested, four failed the test under SFAS No. 144, which failure resulted in $53.8 million of impairment charges, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to write down these hotel assets to our then current estimate of fair market value before selling expenses. As a result of the short-term hold period and the deteriorating market conditions, we tested our five remaining sale candidate hotels for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2008, which resulted in an additional $15.7 million impairment charge on two hotels that failed this test.

Because of triggering events in 2008 related to changes in the capital markets, the drop in travel demand and the combined effect on our stock price, we tested all of our hotel assets to determine if further assessment for potential impairment was required for any of our hotels. We had one hotel with a short-term ground lease, in addition to the sale candidates noted above, fail this test. We determined that the book value of this hotel was not fully recoverable, and as such, recorded a $38.5 million impairment charge under SFAS No. 144.

In 2008, we declared and paid common dividends of $0.85 per share in the aggregate. We suspended payment of our quarterly common dividend in December 2008 in light of the deepening recession, the attendant impact on our industry and FelCor, and the severe contraction in the capital markets. Our Board of Directors will determine the amount of future common and preferred dividends for each quarter, based upon various factors including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as the minimum REIT distribution requirements.

RevPAR and Hotel Operating Margin

In 2008, we had our fifth consecutive year-over-year increase in RevPAR. For the year, RevPAR increased 1.0% from $95.71 to $96.67. The increase in RevPAR consisted of a 0.9% increase in Occupancy and a slight (0.1%) increase in ADR, while the United States hotel industry saw a 1.9% decline in RevPAR for the year, driven by declining occupancy (-4.2%). We attribute our better than average RevPAR performance to increases in market share at our Consolidated Hotels upon completion of our three-year renovation program. As with the overall industry, our RevPAR began to weaken in the third quarter of 2008 and our RevPAR declined 8.5% in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Our renovation program has enabled us to increase our market share significantly and maintain year-over-year RevPAR better than the national average and our peer lodging REITs.

We expect the deterioration of travel demand to continue through 2009, and we have focused on mitigating the declining revenue until lodging fundamentals stabilize. One area that we have focused on is working with our management companies to retool hotel-level cost structures (including staffing models) to ensure that expenses are being managed as effectively as possible. To this end, our hotels were successful in limiting Hotel EBITDA margin loss to 79 basis points in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded net loss applicable to common stockholders of $158.0 million, compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $50.3 million in 2007. Our 2008 loss included impairment charges of $120.7 million ($108.0 million related to consolidated hotels and $12.7 million related to equity method investments), accrued liquidated damages of $11.1 million and hurricane related expenses of $1.7 million. These charges were partially offset by a gain related to involuntary conversions from the final settlement of 2005 hurricane claims of $3.1 million and an adjustment to gains from prior year hotel sales of $1.2 million. Our 2007 net income applicable to common stockholders included $65.7 million of: (i) gains from sale of hotels ($39 million, $28.0 million in discontinued operations and $11.0 million in income from unconsolidated entities), (ii) gain from the sale of condominiums ($18.6 million), and (iii) operating income from hotels sold in 2007 and included in discontinued operations ($8.1 million).

Our 2008 results of operations include two hotels acquired in December 2007. As such, our 2008 financial statements reflect increases in revenues and expenses associated with these hotels that are not reflected in our 2007 financial statements.

Our total revenues increased $107.9 million compared to 2007, of which $93.8 million related to the two hotels acquired in December 2007. The remainder of the increase is principally attributable to the 1% increase in RevPAR at our Consolidated Hotels from 2007 to 2008.

Hotel departmental expenses increased $53.4 million compared to 2007, of which $47.7 million is attributable to the two hotels acquired in December 2007 and the remainder primarily reflects expenses associated with increased occupancy compared to 2007. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 32.2% to 33.9% compared to 2007. Rooms expense decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 20.0% to 19.2%, but food and beverage expense increased as a percent of total revenue from 10.2% to 12.1%, and other operating department expenses increased as a percent of total revenue from 2.0% to 2.5% compared to 2007. The increases in food and beverage expense and other department expenses as a percent of total revenue are primarily due to the mix and nature of the business of the two hotels acquired in December 2007, which are both resort properties. ADR at these hotels was nearly 40% higher than the remainder of the portfolio in 2008, which was the principal reason for the improvement in rooms expense as a percentage of total revenue. Food and beverage generally has significantly higher expenses as a percent of revenue than rooms, and those hotels contributed 24% of our food and beverage revenue during 2008.

Other property-related costs increased $27.8 million, compared to 2007, of which $24.0 million related to the two hotels acquired in December 2007. As a percentage of total revenue, other property operating costs remained essentially unchanged at 26.8% in 2008 compared to 26.9% in 2007.

Management and franchise fees increased $3.8 million, compared to 2007, of which $1.0 million resulted primarily from increases in revenue and $2.8 million related to the two hotels acquired in December 2007. There was essentially no change in management and franchise fees as a percentage of revenue in 2008 compared to 2007.

Taxes, insurance and lease expense decreased $7.5 million compared to 2007, despite a $4.7 million increase related to the two hotels acquired in December 2007. The decrease from 2007 is primarily related to a decrease in percentage rent expense of $7.4 million, related to percentage leases reset in late 2007, a decrease in property taxes of $0.9 million, largely from reduced assessed values and successful resolution of prior year property taxes disputed, and a decrease in property insurance of $1.5 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $30.9 million compared to 2007, of which increase $8.2 million related to the two hotels acquired in December 2007. The remainder of the increase reflects increased depreciation associated with hotel capital expenditures ($142.9 million in 2008 and $227.5 million in 2007).

In 2008, we identified eight hotels as candidates to be sold, of which five remain candidates for sale. We tested these hotels for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 using undiscounted estimated cash flows over a shortened estimated remaining hold period. Of the hotels tested, four hotels failed the test under SFAS No. 144, as a result of which we recorded impairment charges of $53.8 million through the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to write down these hotel assets to our then current estimate of their fair market value before selling expenses. As a result of the short-term hold period and the deteriorating market conditions, we recorded additional impairment charges totaling $15.7 million on two of these hotels in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Because of triggering events in 2008 related to changes in the capital markets, dropping travel demand and the combined effect on our stock price, we tested all of our hotel assets to determine if further assessment for potential impairment was required for any of our hotels. We had one hotel with a short-term ground lease, in addition to the sale candidates noted above, fail this test. We determined that the book value of this hotel was not fully recoverable, and as such, recorded a $38.5 million impairment charge for this hotel under SFAS No. 144.

Other expenses increased $3.7 million compared to 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to: (i) hurricane-related clean up expenses of $1.7 million related to 14 of our hotels affected by four hurricanes in 2008, (ii) severance costs of $0.9 million related to the staffing reductions at our hotels, and (iii) amortization of intangible assets of $0.8 million related to the hotels acquired in December 2007.

Net interest expense increased $6.3 million compared to 2007. This change is primarily attributable to: (i) a decrease in interest income of $4.8 million due to lower cash balances and interest rates earned on those balances; (ii) an increase in interest expense of $7.7 million related to the mortgage debt on the two hotels acquired in December 2007; and (iii) a reduction in capitalized interest of $3.5 million related to lower renovation-related construction in progress, all of which was partially offset by lower interest expense of $9.7 million due to lower interest rates applicable to our floating-rate debt.

Equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated entities decreased by $31.3 million compared to 2007, which decrease primarily reflects income received from the gain of $11.0 million, on the sale of an unconsolidated hotel during the first quarter of 2007, impairment charges of $12.7 million recorded in 2008, and resetting several percentage leases in late 2007. The impairment charges were comprised of $3.3 million (of which our share was $1.7 million) taken under SFAS No. 144 and $11.0 million taken under APB 18, related to other-than-temporary declines in value of certain equity method investments. The impairment under APB 18 includes a charge of $6.6 million for one investment related to a hotel that we do not intend to sell. In 2008, we settled insurance claims relating to 2005 hurricane losses and realized a related $3.1 million gain from involuntary conversion. In 2007, we finalized the sale of 179 of the 184 units at our Royale Palms condominium project and recognized a related $18.6 million gain on sale under the completed contract method. Discontinued operations included a $1.2 million adjustment to increase gains on sale related to a revision in taxes associated with gains aggregating $71.2 million from hotel sales in 2006 and 2007. Discontinued operations for 2007 included operating income of $8.1 million, and charges related to early debt repayment of $0.9 million. Discontinued operations also included gains of $28.0 million related to the sale of 10 hotels during the first six months of 2007.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded net income applicable to common stockholders of $50.3 million, compared to $12.3 million in 2006. We had income from continuing operations of $54.7 million compared to a prior year income from continuing operations of $6.1 million. In 2007, income from continuing operations included an $18.6 million gain from the sale of condominium units at our Royale Palms condominium project in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Income from continuing operations in 2006 included an aggregate of $14.3 million of charges related to early retirement of debt.

Total revenue from continuing operations increased $30.8 million, or 3.1%, compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue is principally attributed to a 3.3% increase in RevPAR. The increase in RevPAR resulted from a 6.5% increase in ADR, net of a 3.0% drop in occupancy, and represents both industry RevPAR increases in many of our major markets and improvements in RevPAR at our recently renovated hotels.

Renovation-related disruption had an adverse effect on our ADR, occupancy and Hotel EBITDA margin in 2007. Our Hotel EBITDA margin decreased by 68 basis points compared to 2006.

For 2007, total operating expenses increased by $42.5 million and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 87.9% to 89.4% compared to 2006. Hotel departmental expenses, which consist of rooms expense, food and beverage expense, and other operating departments, increased $9.7 million compared to 2006, and decreased slightly as a percentage of total revenue from 32.3% to 32.2%.

Other property operating costs, which consist of general and administrative costs, marketing costs, repairs and maintenance, utilities expense, and other costs, increased by $4.9 million compared to 2006, but decreased as a percentage of total revenue from 27.3% to 26.9%. All of the other property operating costs remained constant or decreased as a percent of total revenue compared to 2006 except for repair and maintenance cost, which increased slightly as a percent of total revenue from 5.3% to 5.4%.

Management and franchise fees increased by $2.3 million compared to 2006 but remained constant at 5.2% of total revenue.

Taxes, insurance and lease expense increased by $9.2 million compared to 2006 and increased slightly from 11.3% to 11.9% of total revenue. We had increases as a percentage of total revenue in property insurance. Increased property insurance premiums reflect the nationwide trend of increased rates related to catastrophic coverage, but we are currently seeing a softening of property insurance costs.

Corporate expenses decreased by $2.6 million compared to 2006 and decreased 32 basis points as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease in corporate expenses is principally attributed to 2006 expenses related to severance costs from executives who left the company in 2006 and a reduction in corporate bonus paid in 2007.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $16.2 million compared to 2006, which reflects the significant capital expenditures spent in connection with our renovation program in 2006 and 2007.

Net interest expense decreased by $18.4 million in 2007 compared to 2006. The principal reason for the reduction in interest expense is attributed to reduction in average debt outstanding from $1.4 billion in 2006 to $1.3 billion in 2007 and a 55 basis point decrease in our weighted average interest rate. During 2006, we refinanced $415 million of our senior notes and $138.9 million of our mortgage debt at lower interest rates, and we recognized a full year benefit from this in 2007.

The early retirement of debt in 2006 resulted in net debt extinguishment costs of $15.6 million, of which $1.3 million was recorded in discontinued operations. The early retirement of debt in 2007 resulted in debt extinguishment costs of $0.9 million, all of which was recorded in discontinued operations.

Equity in income from unconsolidated entities was $20.4 million in 2007 compared to $11.5 million in 2006. That increase reflects improved RevPAR and a $10.8 million net gain from the sale of two unconsolidated hotels in 2007.

In 2007, we completed construction of our 184-unit Royale Palms condominium project in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Through December 31, 2007, we sold 179 of the units and recognized a gain of $18.6 million.

Discontinued operations provided net income of $35.2 million in 2007 compared to $44.2 million in 2006. Included in discontinued operations at December 31, 2007 and 2006, are the operating income or loss, direct interest costs and gains on sale related to the 11 hotels sold in 2007 and 31 hotels sold in 2006. Gains on sale aggregating $28.0 million and $43.2 million were included in 2007 and 2006 income from discontinued operations, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer in this Annual Report to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including FFO, Same-Store FFO, EBITDA, Same-Store 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, or 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.

The following tables detail our computation of FFO (in thousands, except for per share data):

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.

To derive same-store comparisons, we have adjusted FFO and EBITDA to remove discontinued operations and gains on sales of condominium units; and have added the historical results of operations from the two hotels acquired in December 2007.

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 amortization, 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, 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 noncontrolling 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 Consolidated Hotels. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis including the historical results of operations from the two hotels acquired in December 2007.

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use FFO, EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin 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 EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA 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 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Hotel operations provide most of the cash needed to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to stockholders and repayments of indebtedness. In 2008, our net cash flow provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of hotel operations, was $153.2 million. At December 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $50.2 million, including approximately $33.2 million held pursuant to management agreements with our independent management companies to meet minimum working capital requirements.

We have $132 million of non-recourse mortgage debt, in the aggregate, that matures in 2009. Of this debt, a $117 million loan, secured by seven hotels, matures in April 2009. At the time of this filing we have agreed in principle on the material terms to refinance this loan for five years with Prudential Mortgage Capital, one of the current lenders (with respect to which we have paid a non-refundable $300,000 portion of the origination fee) and are negotiating final documentation. We expect to close the refinancing prior to maturity, subject to documentation, due diligence and customary conditions. We have a variety of financing alternatives in the unlikely event that we are unable to refinance this loan. We also have two other non-recourse mortgage loans aggregating $15 million, secured by two hotels, that mature in 2009; we expect to repay these loans through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings.

We have agreed in principle on the material terms of a new $200 million term loan, which would be secured by first mortgages on eight currently unencumbered hotels and, assuming all extension options are exercised, will not mature until 2013. This loan would not be subject to any corporate financial covenants and would only be recourse to the borrower, a to-be-formed wholly-owned subsidiary. The material terms of this loan have been approved by JPMorgan Securities Inc. as lead arranger, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which will provide a portion of the loan. Proceeds from this loan will be used for general working capital purposes and to repay the outstanding balance on our line of credit (which will be cancelled upon repayment). We expect to close this new loan, subject to other lenders’ approval, documentation, due diligence and customary conditions, by the end of April.

Our line of credit contains certain restrictive financial covenants, such as a minimum leverage ratio (65%), a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (1.5 to 1.0), and a minimum unencumbered leverage ratio (60%). At the date of this filing we were in compliance with all of these covenants. Our compliance with these covenants in future periods will depend substantially on the financial results of our hotels. If current financial market conditions persist and our business continues to deteriorate, we may breach one or more of our financial covenants.

If we are unable to repay our line of credit, and we breach one or more of these financial covenants, we would be in default, which could allow the lenders to demand payment of all amounts outstanding under our line of credit. Additionally, a demand for payment following a financial covenant default by our lenders constitutes an event of default under the indentures governing our senior notes, which in turn, could accelerate our obligation to repay the amounts outstanding under our senior notes. While we believe that we will successfully close our new secured term loan, as discussed above, we have several other alternatives available to ensure continued compliance with our financial covenants or repay our line of credit, including identifying other sources of debt or equity financing, selling unencumbered hotels and/or implementing additional cost cutting measures. Of course, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to close our new secured term loan, identify additional sources of debt or equity financing or sell hotels on terms that are favorable or otherwise acceptable to us.

We currently expect approximately $97 to $112 million of cash flow provided by operating activities for 2009. This forecast assumes RevPAR decreases 10% to 13% and Hotel EBITDA margins decreases by approximately 350 to 450 basis points. Our current operating plan contemplates that we will make no common dividend payments, $39 million of preferred dividend payments, $11 million in normal recurring principal payments and $15 million repayment of maturing mortgage debt leaving approximately $32 million to $47 million in surplus cash flow (before capital expenditures or additional debt reduction). In 2009, we plan to spend approximately $84 million on capital expenditures, which will be funded from operating cash flow and borrowings.

In 2008, we identified two Holiday Inn hotels in Florida operating under management agreements with IHG as candidates to be sold. These hotels were originally designated for redevelopment with condominiums, but market conditions in Florida no longer make these condominium projects feasible. We also determined that the major capital expenditures necessary to retain the Holiday Inn flags at these hotels were not in the best interests of our stockholders, given the shortened hold period for these hotels. We have agreed with IHG that the management agreements for one hotel will be terminated June 30, 2009, and the other hotel will be terminated December 31, 2009. Following termination (or earlier sale) of each hotel, we will be required to pay replacement management fees for up to one year and liquidated damages (net of any replacement management fees previously paid) at the end of that year; or reinvest in another hotel to be managed by IHG and carrying an IHG brand. Given the current state of the economy and the market for hotel acquisitions, sale of either hotel or substitution of a replacement hotel appear unlikely prior to the relevant dates, and we will likely have to pay IHG at least some portion of replacement management fees and/or liquidated damages. Liquidated damages are computed based on operating results of a hotel prior to termination, and we expect that the aggregate liability related to these hotels, if paid, could be approximately $11 million. We have accrued the full amount of liquidated damages in 2008.

The capital markets, and our access to financing on reasonably acceptable terms or not at all, have historically been affected by external events and circumstances, including the current recession, major bank failures, the subprime mortgage crisis, rising unemployment, shrinking GDP, acts of terrorism, etc. Events, or circumstances of similar magnitude or impact, could adversely affect the availability and cost of our capital going forward. In addition, if the recession in the overall economy and the lodging industry continues, our operating cash flow and the availability and cost of capital for our business will be adversely affected.

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. If our hotel RevPAR decreases and/or Hotel EBITDA margins shrink, our operations, earnings and/or cash flow could be adversely effected.

During 2008, we spent $156.2 million in capital expenditures on our consolidated and unconsolidated hotels, including our pro rata share of joint venture capital expenditures. This amount includes both renovation and redevelopment projects.

We capitalize interest and certain other costs, such as property taxes, land leases, property insurance and employee costs relating to hotels undergoing major renovations and redevelopments. We cease capitalizing these costs to projects when construction is substantially complete. In 2008, 2007, and 2006, we capitalized $6.8 million, $12.5 million and $10.6 million of such costs, respectively. Because of the reduced level of renovation work compared to prior years, we expect to capitalize less of these costs in 2009.

Debt

Line of Credit. At December 31, 2008, we had $113 million outstanding under our line of credit and the interest rate on our line of credit was LIBOR plus 0.80%. Under some circumstances we may be restricted from drawing the full amount under our line of credit.

Our $250 million line of credit contains certain restrictive financial covenants, including a leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered leverage ratio and maximum payout ratio. The interest rate on our line can range from 80 to 150 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. Our compliance with these covenants in future periods will depend substantially on the financial results of our hotels. If current financial market conditions persist and our business continues to deteriorate, we may breach one or more of our financial covenants.

Our other borrowings contain affirmative and negative covenants that are generally equal to or less restrictive than our line of credit. Payment of amounts due under our line of credit is guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries who also guarantee payment of our senior notes and payment is secured by a pledge of our limited partnership interest in FelCor LP.

Mortgage Debt. At December 31, 2008, we had aggregate mortgage indebtedness of approximately $924.3 million that was secured by 44 of our consolidated hotels with an aggregate book value of approximately $1.4 billion. 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 four hotels provide for lock-box arrangements under certain circumstances.

With respect to two of these loans, 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. 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 has ever fallen below the debt service coverage ratio.

With respect to the mortgage debt at two of our hotels, all cash from the hotels in excess of operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves is subject to lock-box arrangements. In each case, the lender holds lock-box funds that are first applied to meet current debt service obligations and any excess funds are held in the lock-box account until the relevant hotel meets or exceeds a debt service coverage ratio of 1.1:1. At December 31, 2008, the debt service coverage ratio for both hotels was above 1.1:1.

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 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 one 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, which it does at the date of this filing. Debt, as defined in the indentures, approximates our consolidated debt. EBITDA is defined in the indentures as consolidated GAAP net income, adjusted for noncontrolling 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. In addition, if we were unable to continue to satisfy the incurrence test under the indentures governing our senior 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.

Interest Rate Caps. To fulfill requirements under certain loans, we owned interest rate caps with aggregate notional amounts of $427.2 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. These interest rate cap agreements have not been designated as hedges and have insignificant fair values at both December 31, 2008 and 2007, resulting in no significant net earnings impact.

The following table details our consolidated debt outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

(a)

Effective February 13, our senior notes were rated B1 and B+ by Moody’s Investor Service and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, respectively. As a result, the interest rate on $300 million of our Senior Notes due 2011 was increased by 50 basis points to 9.0%. When either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s increases our senior note ratings, the interest rate will decrease to 8.5%.

(b)

We have a $250 million line of credit, of which we had $113 million outstanding at December 31, 2008. The interest rate can range from 80 to 150 basis points over LIBOR, based on our leverage ratio as defined in our line of credit agreement.

(c)

Interest rates are calculated based on the weighted average debt outstanding at December 31, 2008.

(d)

We have purchased an interest rate cap at 7.8% that expires in November 2009 for the notional amount of this debt.

(e)

The maturity date assumes that we will exercise the remaining two successive one-year extension options that permit, at our sole discretion, the current November 2009 maturity to be extended to 2011. In July 2008, we exercised our first one-year option to extend the maturity to November 2009, and we expect to exercise the remaining options when timely.

(f)

We have purchased interest rate caps at 6.25% that expire in May 2009 for $177 million aggregate notional amounts.

(g)

The maturity date assumes that we will exercise three successive one-year extension options that permit, at our sole discretion, the original May 2009 maturity to be extended to 2012, and we expect to exercise the options when timely.

Contractual Obligations

We have obligations and commitments to make certain future payments under debt agreements and various contracts. The following schedule details these obligations at December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1 – 3 Years			4 – 5 Years		After 5 Years

(a)	Our long-term debt consists of both secured and unsecured debt and includes both principal and interest. Interest expense for variable rate debt was calculated using the interest rate at December 31, 2008.

(b)	Assumes the extension through November 2011, at our option, of $250 million of debt with a current maturity of November 2009 and the extension through May 2012, at our option, of $176 million of debt with a current maturity of May 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2008, we had unconsolidated 50% investments in ventures that own an aggregate of 17 hotels (referred to as hotel joint ventures), and we had unconsolidated 50% investments in ventures that operate three of those 17 hotels (referred to as operating joint ventures). Of the remaining 14 joint venture hotels, we own approximately 51% of the lessees operating 13 hotels 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 $224.4 million of non-recourse mortgage debt relating to these 17 hotels, of which our pro rata portion was $112.2 million, none of which is reflected as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Our liabilities with regard to non-recourse debt and the liabilities of our subsidiaries that are members or partners in joint ventures are generally limited to guarantees 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 $(10.9) million; $20.4 million; and $11.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and received distributions of $27.8 million (of which $3.0 million was provided from operations), $9.8 million (of which $0.9 million was provided from operations), and $9.3 million (of which $3.6 million was provided from operations) for the years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The principal source of income for our hotel joint ventures is percentage lease revenue from their operating lessees.

Capital expenditures on the hotels owned by our hotel joint ventures are generally 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 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, 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.

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 we believe 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 held for investment 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 the evaluation of impairment of our hotels, and in establishing impairment charges, we made many assumptions and estimates on a hotel by hotel basis, which included the following:
	¡	Annual cash flow growth rates for revenues and expenses;
	¡	Holding periods;
	¡	Expected remaining useful lives of assets;
	¡	Estimates in fair values taking into consideration future cash flows, capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices; and
	¡	Future capital expenditures.

	We are also required under GAAP to record an impairment charge when one or more of our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries experiences an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. Any decline in fair value that is not expected to be recovered in the next 12 months is considered other-than-temporary. We record an impairment in our equity based investments as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. Our estimates of fair values are based on future cash flow estimates, capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices.

	Changes in these estimates, future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying hotels could result in an inability to recover the carrying value of our hotels or investments in unconsolidated entities, thereby requiring future impairment charges.

•	We capitalize interest and certain other costs, such as property taxes, land leases, and property insurance and employee costs related to hotels undergoing major renovations and redevelopments. Such costs capitalized in 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $6.8 million, $12.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively. We make estimates with regard to when components of the renovated asset or redevelopment project are taken out of service or placed in service when determining the appropriate amount and time to capitalize these costs. If these estimates are inaccurate, we could capitalize too much or too little with regard to a particular project.

•	Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful life of our assets and amortization expense for leasehold improvements is the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets. The lives of the assets are based on a number of assumptions including cost and timing of capital expenditures to maintain and refurbish the assets, as well as specific market and economic conditions. While we believe our estimates are reasonable, a change in the estimated lives could affect depreciation and amortization expense and net income (loss) or the gain or loss on the sale of any of our hotels.

•	Investments in hotel properties are stated at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and assumed debt and other liabilities at fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Any remaining unallocated acquisition costs are treated as goodwill. Property and equipment are recorded at fair value based on current replacement cost for similar capacity and allocated to buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment using appraisals and valuations prepared by management and/or independent third parties. Identifiable intangible assets (typically contracts including ground and retail leases and management and franchise agreements) are recorded at fair value, although no value is generally allocated to contracts which are at market terms. Above-market and below-market contr act values are based on the present value of the difference between contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the contracts acquired and our estimate of the fair value of contract rates for corresponding contracts measured over the period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the contract. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the related agreements. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we may utilize a number of sources such as those obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of a property and other market data, including third-party appraisals and valuations.

•	We make estimates with respect to contingent liabilities for losses covered by insurance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (FAS 5). 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. We are self-insured for the first $250,000, per occurrence, of our general liability claims with regard to 60 of our hotels. 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 at the end of each accounting period. These reserves represent estimates at a given 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 delays in reporting. Because establishment of insurance reserves is an inherently uncertain process involving estimates, currently established reserves may not be sufficient. If our insurance reserves of $4.2 million, at December 31, 2008, 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, 2008.

•	Our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries, or TRSs, have cumulative potential future tax deductions totaling $344.1 million. The net deferred income tax asset associated with these potential future tax deductions was $137.9 million. We have recorded a valuation allowance equal to 100% of our $137.9 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 con sidered 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 Changes to Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 also provides for certain disclosure requirements, including, but not limited to, the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period. This statement was effective for us on January 1, 2008, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, for which the effective date is January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard as it relates to financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, and we do not believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159), which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes (i.e., unrealized gains and losses) in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS 159 allowed for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. This statement was effective for us on January 1, 2008. We did not make the one-time election upon adoption and therefore, we do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141(R)), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer shall recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired in a business combination. This statement is effective for us for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 could materially impact our future financial results to the extent that we acquire significant amounts of real estate, as related acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred compared to our prior practice of capitalizing such costs and amortizing them over the estimated useful life of the assets acquired.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160), which establishes and expands accounting and reporting standards for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests, in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position other than the recharacterization of minority interests.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities, including disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and the impact of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 was effective on January 1, 2009. We do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operation.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

At December 31, 2008, approximately 51% 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. For debt obligations, the tables present scheduled maturities and weighted average interest rates, by maturity dates. 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.

Swap contracts 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. We had no interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 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. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (not presented herein) appearing under Item 9A of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide 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.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it computes earnings per share and the manner in which it accounts for noncontrolling interests effective January 1,2009.

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.

February 27, 2009, except with respect to our opinion on the consolidated financial statements insofar as it relates to the effects of the changes in accounting for noncontrolling interests, in the computation of earnings per share and of subsequent events discussed in Notes 2, 17, 25 and 26, as to which date is August 11, 2009

1.	Organization

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. We are the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 99% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 89 hotels with more than 25,000 rooms and suites at December 31, 2008.

Of the 89 hotels in which we had an ownership interest at December 31, 2008, we owned a 100% interest in 66 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owning four hotels, a 75% interest in an entity owning one hotel, a 60% interest in an entity owning one hotel and a 50% interest in entities owning 17 hotels. We leased 88 of our hotels to operating lessees and one 50%-owned hotel is operated without a lease.

We consolidated the operating lessees of 85 of our hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) because of our controlling interest in those operating lessees. These hotels include 13 of the 17 hotels in which we had a 50% ownership interest at December 31, 2008. The hotel operating revenues and expenses of our other four hotels (in which we had a 50% ownership interest) were not consolidated.

At December 31, 2008, we had an aggregate of 64,519,661 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 64,223,818 shares of FelCor common stock and 295,843 units of FelCor LP limited partnership interest not owned by FelCor. The following table illustrates the distribution of our 85 Consolidated Hotels among our premier brands at December 31, 2008:

Brand	Hotels		Rooms
Embassy Suites Hotels		47	12,132
Holiday Inn		17	6,306
Sheraton and Westin		9	3,217
Doubletree		7	1,471
Renaissance and Hotel 480^(a)		3	1,324
Hilton		2	559
Total hotels		85

(a)

On April 1, 2009, Hotel 480 is scheduled to be rebranded as a Marriott.

At December 31, 2008, our Consolidated Hotels were located in the United States (83 hotels in 23 states) and Canada (two hotels in Ontario), with concentrations in California (15 hotels), Florida (14 hotels) and Texas (11 hotels). Approximately 51% of our hotel room revenues were generated from hotels in these three states during 2008.

At December 31, 2008, of our 85 Consolidated Hotels (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, managed 54 hotels, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed 17 hotels, (iii) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed nine hotels, (iv) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc., or Marriott, managed three hotels, and (iv) independent management companies managed two hotels.

Our hotels managed by Marriott are accounted for on a fiscal year comprised of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to December 31. Their 2008 and 2007 fiscal years ended on January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, respectively.

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 (consisting entirely of 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 that management 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 30 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 modification of depreciation periods. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment of a hotel, we prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, over the shorter of the hotel’s estimated useful life or the expected hold period, 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 the 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 — Investments in hotel properties are stated at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and assumed debt and other liabilities at fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Any remaining unallocated acquisition costs are treated as goodwill. Property and equipment are recorded at fair value based on current replacement cost for similar capacity and allocated to buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment using appraisals and valuations prepared by management and/or independent third parties. Identifiable intangible assets (typically contracts including ground and retail leases and management and franchise agreements), are recorded at fair value, although no value is generally allocated to contracts which are at market terms. Above-market and below-market contract values are based on the present value of the difference between contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the contracts acquired and our estimate of the fair value of contract rates for corresponding contracts measured over the period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the contract. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the related agreements. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we may utilize a number of sources such as those obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of a property and other market data, including third-party appraisals and valuations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued)

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 fair value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered 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, market capitalization rates and sales prices of comparable assets.

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 had no hotels held for sale at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

We do not depreciate hotel assets that are classified as held for sale. Upon designating a hotel as 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 or fair value, less cost to sell, in accordance with SFAS 144. Any 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 hotels 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; 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 for mortgage debt agreement provisions and capital expenditure obligations on sold hotels.

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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued)

Revenue Recognition — Nearly 100% 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 as earned. 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 remainder of our revenue is from condominium management fee income 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. We have no loss contingencies or ongoing obligation associated with frequent guest programs beyond what is paid to the brand owner following a guest’s stay.

We recognize revenue from the sale of condominium units using the completed contract method.

Foreign Currency Translation — Results of operations for our Canadian hotels are maintained in Canadian dollars and translated using the weighted 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 and were $15.3 million and $26.9 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Capitalized Cost — We capitalize interest and certain other costs, such as property taxes, land leases, and property insurance and employee costs relating to hotels undergoing major renovations and redevelopments. We cease capitalizing these costs to projects when construction is substantially complete. Such costs capitalized in 2008, 2007 and 2006, were $6.8 million, $12.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share — On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment awards are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation when computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“FAS 128”). In accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. All prior-period earnings per share data presented were adjusted retrospectively .

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders less dividends declared on unvested restricted stock (adjusted for forfeiture assumptions) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders less dividends declared on unvested restricted stock (adjusted for forfeiture assumptions) by the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents represent shares issuable upon exercise of stock options.

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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued)

Stock Compensation ( In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 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 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.

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.

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 declared aggregate common dividends of $0.85 and $1.20 per share in 2008 and 2007, respectively. We suspended payment of our quarterly common dividend in December 2008 in light of the deepening recession, the attendant impact on our industry and FelCor, and the severe contraction in the capital markets. Our Board of Directors will determine the amount of future common and preferred dividends for each quarter, based upon various factors including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as the minimum REIT distribution requirements. We have paid regular quarterly dividends on our preferred stock in accordance with our preferred stock dividend requirements. 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.

Noncontrolling Interests — Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” which establishes and expands accounting and reporting standards for minority interests (which are recharacterized as noncontrolling interests) in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. We have also adopted the recent revisions to EITF Topic D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,” which became effective upon our adoption of SFAS 160. As a result of our adoption of these standards, amounts previously reported as minority interests in other partnerships on our balance sheets are now presented as noncontrolling interests in other partnerships within equity. There has been no change in the measurement of this line item from amounts previously reported. Minority interests in FelCor LP have also been recharacterized as noncontrolling interests, but because of the redemption feature of these units, have been included in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity) on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These units are redeemable at the option of the holders for a like number of shares of our common stock or, at our option, the cash equivalent thereof. Based on the requirements of D-98, the measurement of noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP is now presented at the fair value of the units as of the balance sheet date (based on our stock price as of the balance sheet date times the number of outstanding units). Previously, these interests were measured based on the noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP’s pro rata share of total common interests, in accordance with EITF 95-7. The revised presentation and measurement required by SFAS 160 and D-98 has been adopted retrospectively.

Noncontrolling interests in other consolidated partnerships represent the proportionate share of the equity in other consolidated partnerships not owned by us. Noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP represents the redemption value of FelCor LP units not owned by us. We allocate income and loss to noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP and other consolidated partnerships 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 lessees 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. A valuation allowance is recorded for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued)

On January 1, 2007 we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation Number 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48) which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, we 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 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” We recorded no cumulative effect as a result of our adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.

4.	Acquisitions of Hotels

In December 2007, we acquired the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California and the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida. The fair values, at the date of acquisition, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on appraisals and valuation studies performed by management. The following summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with these acquisitions:

Earnings per share – basic		0.69		0.07
Earnings per share – diluted		0.69		0.07

5.	Impairment Charges

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.

FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

5. Impairment Charges – (continued)

A hotel held for investment is tested for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate its carrying value may not be recoverable. The test is conducted using the undiscounted cash flows for the shorter of the estimated remaining holding periods or the useful life of the hotel. When testing for recoverability of hotels held for investment, we use projected cash flows over the expected hold period. Those hotels held for investment that fail the impairment test described in SFAS 144 are written down to their then current estimated fair value, before any selling expense, and continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives.

We test hotels held for sale for impairment each reporting period and record them at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell. Once we designate a hotel as held for sale it is not depreciated. We did not have any hotels designated as held for sale at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

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 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 some cases, we are able to establish fair value based on credible offers received from prospective buyers.

In 2008, we identified eight hotels as candidates to be sold (of which three no longer are identified as candidates for sale and five hotels remain sale candidates), thereby reducing our estimated remaining hold period for these hotels. We tested these eight hotels for impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 144 using undiscounted estimated cash flows over a shortened estimated remaining hold period. Of the hotels tested, four failed the test under SFAS No. 144 which resulted in $53.8 million of impairment charges, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to write down these hotel assets to our then current estimate of their fair market value before selling expenses. As a result of the short-term hold period and the deterioration in the current market conditions, we tested our five remaining sale candidate hotels for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2008, which resulted in an additional $15.7 million impairment charge on two hotels that failed the test. The remaining five hotels identified as candidates for sale were included in continuing operations because we do not believe it is probable that the hotels will be sold within the next 12 months. These hotels continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives.

Because of triggering events in 2008 related to changes in the capital markets, drop in travel demand and the combined effect on our stock price, we tested all of our hotel assets to determine if further assessment for potential impairment was required for any of our hotels. We had one hotel with a short-term ground lease, in addition to the sale candidates noted above, fail this test. We determined the book value of this hotel was not fully recoverable, and as such, recorded a $38.5 million impairment charge under SFAS No. 144 (based on its then current value).

In 2008, one of our unconsolidated investments recorded a $3.3 million impairment charge (of which our share was $1.7 million) under SFAS No. 144. We also recorded impairment charges of $11.0 million related to other-than-temporary declines in value of certain equity method investments. This includes an impairment charge of $6.6 million for one investment related to a hotel that we do not intend to sell. 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.

FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

5. Impairment Charges – (continued)

In 2006, we recorded impairment charges of $16.5 million under SFAS 144. Of the 2006 charges, $9.3 million were related to our decision to designate seven hotels held for investment as non-strategic, $5.9 million related to a change in fair value estimates of hotels held for investment that we had previously designated as non-strategic, and $1.3 million related to charges necessary to record two non-strategic hotels as held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell at December 31, 2006. In 2007, we sold 11 non-strategic hotels for gross proceeds of $191.0 million.

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

6.	Discontinued Operations

The results of operations of the 11 hotels we sold in 2007 and the 31 hotels we sold in 2006 are presented in discontinued operations for the periods presented. We had no hotels held for sale at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Results of operations for the hotels included in discontinued operations are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2008			2007			2006
Hotel operating revenue	$	-		$	26,522		$	204,494
Operating expenses		(13	)		(18,430	)		(200,958	)
Operating income (loss)		(13	)		8,092			3,536
Direct interest costs, net		-			(14	)		(1,206	)
Loss on the early extinguishment of debt		-			(902	)		(1,311	)
Gain on sale, net of tax		1,193			27,988			43,180
Income from discontinued operations	$	1,180		$	35,164		$	44,199

In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded a revision in income tax related to prior year gains on sales of hotels, which resulted in additional gains of $1.2 million related to these sales.

In 2007, we sold 11 hotels for aggregate gross proceeds of $191.0 million. We owned 100% ownership interests in 10 of these hotels and recorded a gain on sale of $28.0 million, which was net of approximately $1.8 million in taxes. With respect to one hotel sold in 2007, although the operating income and expenses were consolidated because of our majority ownership of the operating lessee, the hotel was owned by a 50% owned unconsolidated venture, and the venture recorded a gain of $15.6 million, of which we recorded our pro rata share as income from unconsolidated entities. In 2006, we sold 31 hotels for aggregate gross proceeds of $514.4 million and recorded a net gain of $43.2 million, which was net of approximately $5.7 million in taxes.

Impairment losses of $16.5 million are included in the operating expenses from discontinued operations for the year ending December 31, 2006.

7. Condominium Project

Development of our 184-unit Royale Palms condominium project in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina was completed in 2007. In 2007, we recognized gains under the completed contract method of $18.6 million, net of $1.0 million of tax, from the sale of 179 units. We expect that the remaining five condominium units will be sold on a selective basis to maximize the selling price. We obtained a construction loan in 2005 to build this project, which we repaid in May 2007 from proceeds of condominium sales.

8.	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

We owned 50% interests in joint venture entities that owned 17 hotels at December 31, 2008 and 2007. We also owned a 50% interest in entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, provide condominium management services, and lease three 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.

Debt — (continued)

Recent events in the financial markets have had an adverse impact on the credit markets and, as a result, credit has become significantly more expensive and difficult to obtain, if available at all. In addition, the overall weakness in the U.S. economy, has resulted in considerable negative pressure on both consumer and business spending (this includes increased emphasis in cost containment with focus on travel and entertainment limitations). We anticipate that lodging demand will not improve, and will likely weaken further, until current economic trends reverse course, particularly the weakened overall economy and illiquid credit markets.

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.

9. Debt — (continued)

certain of our subsidiaries who also guarantee payment of our senior debt and payment is secured by a pledge of our limited partnership interest in FelCor LP.

At December 31, 2008, we had $113 million in borrowings under our line of credit. The interest rate on our line can range from 80 to 150 basis points over LIBOR, based on our leverage ratio as defined in our line of credit agreement. The interest rate on our line of credit was LIBOR plus 0.80% at December 31, 2008.

In 2007, we amended our line of credit agreement to increase the amount available under the line from $125 million to $250 million, provide the ability to further increase the facility up to $500 million under certain conditions, reduce certain fees and costs including the interest rates applicable to borrowings, improve certain financial covenants and extend the initial maturity from January 2009 to August 2011 with the right to extend for an additional one-year period under certain conditions.

At December 31, 2008, we had aggregate mortgage indebtedness, of approximately $924.3 million that was secured by 44 of our consolidated hotels with an aggregate book value of approximately $1.4 billion. 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 four hotels provide for lock-box arrangements under certain circumstances. With respect to two of these loans, 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. 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. Neither of these hotels has ever fallen below the debt service coverage ratio.

With respect to the mortgage debt for two hotels, all cash from the hotels in excess of operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves is subject to lock-box arrangements. In each case, the lender holds lock-box funds that are first applied to meet current debt service obligations and any excess funds are held in the lock box account until the relevant hotel meets or exceeds a debt service coverage ratio of 1.1:1. At December 31, 2008, the debt service coverage ratio for both hotels was above 1.1:1.

In December 2007, we assumed two existing loans in the original aggregate principal amount of $177.3 million in connection with our acquisition of two hotels. The interest rate on both loans is 155 basis points over the one-month LIBOR. Each loan is non-recourse to us and secured by a mortgage on its respective property. Both loans mature on May 1, 2009 unless extended, solely at our option, for three successive one-year terms, and may be prepaid at any time with no penalty or premium owed.

9.	Debt — (continued)

In late 2007, we were notified that a AAA money market fund in which we had invested approximately $8.4 million had ceased honoring redemption requests and would liquidate its investments over approximately a six-month period. In order to ensure that our liquidity would not be impaired as a consequence, an affiliate of the fund sponsor provided us with a short-term loan at a rate approximately equal to our earnings rate on the fund. Through December 31, 2008, we received redemptions aggregating $6.2 million and repaid the short-term loan. We have recorded losses related to this fund of $0.6 million and have $1.6 million remaining receivable at December 31, 2008.

We reported interest income of $1.6 million, $6.4 million and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in net interest expense. We capitalized interest of $1.4 million, $4.8 million and $4.9 million, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In connection with our 2006 repayment of $290 million senior floating rate notes, we unwound the floating to fixed interest rate swaps associated with these notes. Termination of these interest rate swaps resulted in a gain of approximately $1.7 million, which was recorded in the fourth quarter 2006.

The early retirement of certain indebtedness in 2006, resulted in net charges related to debt extinguishment of approximately $15.6 million.

In connection with the early debt retirement in 2006, we recorded $17.3 million of expense.

(a)

We have $132 million of non-recourse mortgage debt, in the aggregate, that matures in 2009. Of this debt, a $117 million loan, secured by seven hotels, matures in April 2009. At the time of this filing we have agreed in principle on the material terms to refinance this loan for five years with Prudential Mortgage Capital, one of the current lenders (with respect to which we have paid a non-refundable $300,000 portion of the origination fee) and are negotiating final documentation. We expect to close the refinancing prior to maturity. We have a variety of financing alternatives in the unlikely event that we are unable to refinance this loan. We also have two other non-recourse mortgage loans aggregating $15 million, secured by two hotels, that mature in 2009; we expect to repay these loans through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings.

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. Consequently, our earnings reflect 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, 2008, we did not have any outstanding 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.

During 2006, we terminated three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $100 million, maturing in December 2007. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and were marked to market through other comprehensive income. The unrealized net gain on these interest rate swap agreements was approximately $1.7 million when terminated. Upon termination this gain was realized and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings. The interest rate received on these interest rate swaps was 4.25% plus LIBOR and the interest rate paid was 7.80%. These swaps were 100% effective through this termination date.

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.

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. Our interest rate swaps reduced interest expense by $1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2006. We did not own any interest rate swaps in 2008 or 2007.

10. Derivatives — (continued)

To fulfill requirements under certain loans, we owned interest rate caps with aggregate notional amounts of $427.2 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. These interest rate cap agreements have not been designated as hedges, and have insignificant fair values at December 31, 2008 and 2007, resulting in no significant net earnings impact.

11.

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, 2008. 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) our publicly traded debt is based on observable market data, and our debt that is not traded publicly is based on estimated effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, loan to estimated fair value and remaining maturities (the estimated fair value of our debt was $1.3 billion at December 31, 2008); and (iii) short-term non-cash investments included in other assets ($1.6 million at December 31, 2008) are carried at estimated market value, which approximates our original cost basis at December 31, 2008.

12.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the federal income tax laws. 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 and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, formed to lease our hotels, are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. 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 to its 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 years. 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.

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.

Our 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.

Our 8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock, or Series C preferred stock, bears an annual cumulative dividend of 8% of the liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.00 per depositary share). We may call the Series C 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 C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $2,500 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share).

Accrued dividends payable on our Series A and Series C preferred stock aggregating $8.5 million at December 31, 2008, were paid in January 2009.

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 2008, 2007 and 2006, 1,057,928 Units, 1,245 Units, and 1,407,524 Units, respectively, were exchanged for a like number of common shares issued from treasury stock.

Hotel Operating Revenue, Departmental Expenses, and Other Property Operating Costs – (continued)

Nearly 100% of our revenue in all periods presented 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). 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 remainder of our revenue was from condominium management fee income and other sources.

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.

Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions

We shared the executive offices and certain employees with TCOR Holdings, LLC, successor to FelCor, Inc. (controlled by Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., Chairman of our Board of Directors), and TCOR Holdings, LLC 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. TCOR Holdings, LLC paid approximately $60,000 in 2008 and $50,000 in 2007 and 2006 for shared office costs.

Our property insurance has a $100,000 all risk deductible, a deductible of 5% of insured value for named windstorm coverage and a deductible of 2% to 5% of insured value for California earthquake coverage. Substantial uninsured or not fully-insured losses would have a material adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition. Catastrophic losses, such as the losses caused by hurricanes in 2005, could make the cost of insuring against these types of losses prohibitively expensive or difficult to find. In an effort to limit the cost of insurance, we purchase catastrophic insurance coverage based on probable maximum losses based on 250-year events and have only purchased terrorism insurance to the extent required by our lenders. We have established a self-insured retention of $250,000 per occurrence for general liability insurance with regard to 60 of our hotels. The remainder of our hotels participate in general liability programs sponsored by our managers, with no deductible.

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% of the hotel’s total revenue to the sum of 2% of the hotel’s total revenue plus 5% of the hotel’s 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 5% of revenues for capital expenditures. The management agreements have terms from 5 to 20 years and generally have renewal options.

The management agreements governing the operations of 37 of our Consolidated Hotels contain the right and license to operate the hotel under the specified brands. The remaining 48 Consolidated Hotels operated under franchise or license agreements that are separate from our management agreements. Typically, our franchise or license agreements provide for a license fee or royalty of 4% to 5% of room revenues. In the event we breach one of these agreements, in addition to losing the right to use the brand 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.

IHG brand. Given the current state of the economy and the market for hotel acquisitions, sale of either hotel or substitution of a replacement hotel appears unlikely prior to the relevant dates, and we will likely have to pay IHG at least some portion of replacement management fees and/or liquidated damages. Liquidated damages are computed based on operating results of a hotel prior to termination, and we expect that the aggregate liability related to these hotels, if paid, could be approximately $11 million. We have accrued the full amount of liquidated damages in 2008.

Accrued dividends payable on our common stock, Series A and Series C preferred stock aggregating $8.5 million and $30.5 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were paid in January of the following year.

In 2008 and 2007, we allocated $20.2 million and $24,000, respectively, of noncontrolling interest to additional paid-in capital with regard to the exchange of 1,057,928 Units and 1,245 Units, respectively, for common stock.

In 2007, $67.0 million of proceeds from the sale of the Royale Palms condominium project was paid directly from the purchasers to our lender at closing.

In 2006, we sold 31 hotels for gross proceeds of $514 million. These proceeds were used to repay approximately $356 million of debt ($150 million of which related to sales proceeds paid directly from purchaser to our lender at closing) and invested in capital improvements at many of our hotels.

In 2006, we borrowed $215 million of debt that was paid directly to a lender, in repayment of $215 million of other debt.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, our repayment of borrowings consisted of retirement of debt of $23.8 million, payments on our line of credit of $74 million and normal recurring principal payments of $13.9 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, our repayment of borrowings consisted of early retirement of debt of $7.4 million, payments on our line of credit of $10.0 million and normal recurring principal payments of $12.9 million.

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.

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

Subsequent Events

In January 2009, a 50%-owned joint venture sold the Ramada Hotel in Hays, Kansas for gross proceeds of $2.8 million. All proceeds from this sale were used to repay debt of this venture.

In June 2009, we obtained a $200 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels. This loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 350 basis points and matures in 2011. This loan can be extended for as many as two years, subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy. We have the right to prepay the loan and/or obtain partial release of one or more of the mortgages, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds from this new loan will be used for general corporate purposes.

In June 2009, we repaid the $128 million balance under our line of credit, which was then terminated. By terminating our line of credit, we eliminated certain restrictive corporate debt covenants. We wrote off loan costs of $594,000 associated with this facility.

In March 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America secured by seven hotels. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay the balance of an existing loan secured by the same properties that would have matured on April 1, 2009. The new loan matures in 2014 and bears interest at 9.02%. We have the right to prepay the loan and/or obtain partial release of one or more of the mortgages, subject to certain conditions.

Subsequent Events

We have two non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate principal amount of $14 million (each secured by one hotel) that matured in June 2009 but remain unpaid and are in default. Although we have sufficient liquidity to repay these loans, we believe that using our available cash, under current circumstances, to repay these loans may not be prudent. These loans are serviced by a third-party servicer on behalf of the investors in a larger pool of loans that includes these loans. That servicer would not engage in discussions with us to extend the maturity dates unless and until the loans were in default; consequently, we withheld payment and permitted the loans to go into default. We have now begun negotiations with the special servicer to extend the maturity of these loans. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to extend the maturity of these loans on acceptable terms. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to extend the maturity of these loans, we have the right to repay the amounts outstanding under either or both loans (in which case, we could then sell or refinance the hotels now or in the future) or, in the alternative, allow the lenders to foreclose on either hotel or both hotels.
