	Company Information and Significant Accounting Policies
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Choice Hotels International, Inc. and subsidiaries (together the "Company") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly present our financial position and results of operations. Except as otherwise disclosed, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
	Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
	The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014 (the "10-K") as well as the information provided below under the heading "Revision to Prior Annual Financial Statements and Restatement of Prior Interim Financial Statements". The Company intends to amend its 10-K as soon as administratively practical to revise its previously issued audited financial statements and amend its report on internal control over financial reporting. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the entire year results. All inter-company transactions and balances between Choice Hotels International, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Revision to Prior Annual Financial Statements and Restatement of Prior Interim Financial Statements
	In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2014, the Company reviewed its accounting policies and practices, including the historical practice of reporting royalty and certain marketing and reservation fees one month in arrears as compared to when the gross room revenues (on which the fees are based) are earned by the Company's franchisees. The Company previously determined that the impact of the revenue recognition timing related to these revenues on its annual financial statements was not material and therefore reported these revenues one month in arrears despite the fact that these fees meet the definition of being earned and realizable in the same period that the underlying gross room revenues are earned by its franchisees. However, during the current period, the Company reassessed the impact of reporting these revenues one month in arrears on interim periods and determined that this revenue recognition practice, which was not in accordance with GAAP, was material to interim periods due to the seasonality of the Company's business. As a result, the Company has corrected its revenue recognition method to recognize royalty and certain marketing and reservation system fees as revenue in the same period as the gross room revenues are earned by its franchisees.
	In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 250 (SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, "Materiality"), the Company assessed the materiality of the misapplication of GAAP and concluded that the restatement of revenues was not material to any of its previously issued annual financial statements but was material to certain interim periods. In accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 250 (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements"), the Company will restate its previously issued interim financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and September 30, 2013 and 2012 through the filing of amended quarterly filings on Form 10-Q and has restated the interim financial periods for June 30, 2013 in this interim financial report. In addition, the Company will revise its previously issued audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, and 2013 to correct the presentation of revenues and amend its report on internal control over financial reporting.
	The following tables present the effect of this and other immaterial errors for the financial statement line items impacted in the affected periods included within this interim financial report. In addition, these amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Company's discontinued operations reported in the first quarter of 2014.

Discontinued Operations
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company's management approved a plan to dispose of the three Company owned Mainstay Suites hotels. As a result, the Company has reported the operations related to these three hotels as discontinued operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company's results of operations for the comparative prior year periods have also been restated to account for these operations as discontinued. For additional information regarding discontinued operations, see Note 17, Discontinued Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $3.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of book overdrafts representing outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company maintains cash balances in domestic banks, which at times, may exceed the limits of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company maintains cash balances of $172.5 million in international banks which do not provide deposit insurance.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU 2013-04"). The ASU requires entities to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following: (a) The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Required disclosures include a description of the joint-and-several arrangement and the total outstanding amount of the obligation for all joint parties. The ASU permits entities to aggregate disclosures (as opposed to providing separate disclosures for each joint-and-several obligation). ASU 2013-04 was effective for all interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2014 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity" ("ASU 2013-05"). ASU 2013-05 clarifies that when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Matters" Subtopic 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The provisions of ASU 2013-05 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and the Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU 2013-11"). ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. The ASU does not require new recurring disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2014 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Future Adoption of Recently Announced Accounting Guidance
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" ("ASU 2014-08"). ASU 2014-08 changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 is effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which impacts virtually all aspects of an entity's revenue recognition. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, as well as most industry-specific guidance, and significantly enhances comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries by providing a principles-based, comprehensive framework for addressing revenue recognition issues. In order for a provider of promised goods or services to recognize as revenue the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for the promised goods or services, the provider should apply the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer(s); (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU No. 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and provides enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The guidance permits the retrospective or modified retrospective method when adopting ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is still assessing the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

	Notes Receivable and Allowance for Losses
	The Company segregates its notes receivable for the purposes of evaluating allowances for credit losses between two categories: Mezzanine and Other Notes Receivable and Forgivable Notes Receivable. The Company utilizes the level of security it has in the various notes receivable as its primary credit quality indicator (i.e. senior, subordinated or unsecured) when determining the appropriate allowances for uncollectible loans within these categories.
	The Company considers loans to be past due and in default when payments are not made when due. Although the Company considers loans to be in default if payments are not received on the due date, the Company does not suspend the accrual of interest until those payments are more than 30 days past due. The Company applies payments received for loans on non-accrual status first to interest and then principal. The Company does not resume interest accrual until all delinquent payments are received. For impaired loans, the Company recognizes interest income on a cash basis.


	The following table shows the composition of our notes receivable balances:

Advances, Marketing and Reservation Activities [Abstract]	'
Marketing and Reservation Activities	'
	Marketing and Reservation Activities
	The Company’s franchise agreements require the payment of franchise fees, which include marketing and reservation system fees. The Company is obligated to use the marketing and reservation system revenues it collects from the current franchisees comprising its various hotel brands to provide marketing and reservation services appropriate to support the operation of the overall system. In discharging its obligation to provide sufficient and appropriate marketing and reservation services, the Company has the right to expend funds in an amount reasonably necessary to ensure the provision of such services, whether or not such amount is currently available to the Company for reimbursement. The franchise agreements provide the Company the right to advance monies to the franchise system when the needs of the system surpass the balances currently available. As a result, expenditures by the Company in support of marketing and reservation services in excess of available revenues are deferred and recorded as an asset in the Company’s financial statements. Conversely, cumulative marketing and reservation system revenues not expended are recorded as a liability in the financial statements and are carried over to the next fiscal year and expended in accordance with the franchise agreements or utilized to reimburse the Company for prior year advances.
	Under the terms of these agreements, the Company has the contractually enforceable right to assess and collect from its current franchisees, fees sufficient to pay for the marketing and reservation services the Company has procured for the benefit of the franchise system, including fees to reimburse the Company for past services rendered. The Company has the contractual authority to require that the franchisees in the system at any given point repay any deficits related to marketing and reservation activities. The Company’s current franchisees are contractually obligated to pay any assessment the Company imposes on its franchisees to obtain reimbursement of such deficit regardless of whether those constituents continue to generate gross room revenue and whether or not they joined the system following the deficit's occurrence.
	At December 31, 2013, the Company incurred marketing and reservation system expenses in excess of cumulative marketing and reservation system fees earned of $5.8 million. Based on the Company's analysis of projected net cash flows from marketing and reservation activities, the Company concluded that the cumulative advances for marketing and reservation activities recorded as an asset on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 were fully recoverable and as a result no reserves were necessary.
	At June 30, 2014, cumulative marketing and reservation system fees collected exceeded expenses by $15.9 million with the excess reflected as an other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to marketing and reservation activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $4.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to marketing and reservation activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $4.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively. Interest expense attributable to marketing and reservation activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Interest expense attributable to marketing and reservation activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

	Land represents the Company’s purchase of real estate as part of its program to incent franchise development in strategic markets for certain brands. The Company has acquired this real estate with the intent to either resell it to third-party developers for the construction of hotels operated under the Company’s brands or contribute the land into joint ventures for the same purpose. The real estate is carried at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value (based on comparable sales).

	Equity Method Investments - Variable Interest Entities

	Equity method investments include investments in joint ventures totaling $34.8 million and $28.9 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively that the Company determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs"). These investments relate to the Company's program to offer equity support to qualified franchisees to develop and operate Cambria Suites hotels in strategic markets. Based on an analysis of who has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact these entities performance and who has an obligation to absorb losses of these entities or a right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to the entity, the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of its VIEs. The Company based its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and the relevant development, operating management and financial agreements. As a result, the Company's investment in these entities is accounted for under the equity method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized losses totaling $22 thousand and $66 thousand, respectively from these investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized losses totaling $7 thousand and $72 thousand, respectively, from these investments. The Company's maximum exposure to losses related to its investments in VIEs is limited to its equity investments as well as certain guarantees described in Note 17 "Commitments and Contingencies" of these financial statements.

The 2012 Senior Notes will mature on July 1, 2022, with interest to be paid semi-annually on January 1st and July 1st. The Company used the net proceeds of this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, together with a portion of the proceeds from a new credit facility, to pay a special cash dividend in 2012 totaling approximately $600.7 million. The Company's 2012 Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally, subject to certain customary limitations by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
	Senior Notes Due 2020
	On August 25, 2010, the Company issued unsecured senior notes in the principal amount of $250 million (the "2010 Senior Notes") at a discount of $0.6 million, bearing a coupon of 5.7% with an effective rate of 6.19%. The 2010 Senior Notes will mature on August 28, 2020, with interest to be paid semi-annually on February 28th and August 28th. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, to repay outstanding borrowings and for other general corporate purposes. The Company's 2010 Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally, subject to certain customary limitations by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
	Revolving Credit Facility
	On July 25, 2012, the Company entered into a $350 million senior secured credit facility, comprised of a $200 million revolving credit tranche (the "Revolver") and a $150 million term loan tranche (the "Term Loan") with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and a syndication of lenders (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility has a final maturity date of July 25, 2016, subject to an optional one-year extension provided certain conditions are met. Up to $25 million of the borrowings under the Revolver may be used for letters of credit, up to $10 million of borrowings under the Revolver may be used for swing-line loans and up to $35 million of borrowings under the Revolver may be used for alternative currency loans. The Term Loan requires quarterly amortization payments (a) during the first two years, in equal installments aggregating 5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan per year, (b) during the second two years, in equal installments aggregating 7.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan per year, and (c) during the one-year extension period (if exercised), equal installments aggregating 10% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan.

	The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantors currently include all subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Company's Indenture governing the terms of its 2010 and 2012 Senior Notes.
	The Credit Facility is secured by first priority pledges of (i) 100% of the ownership interests in certain domestic subsidiaries owned by the Company and the guarantors, (ii) 65% of the ownership interests in (a) the top-tier foreign holding company of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and (b) the domestic subsidiary that owns the top-tier foreign holding company of the Company's foreign subsidiaries and (iii) all presently existing and future domestic franchise agreements (the "Franchise Agreements") between the Company and individual franchisees, but only to the extent that the Franchise Agreements may be pledged without violating any law of the relevant jurisdiction or conflicting with any existing contractual obligation of the Company or the applicable franchisee. At the time that the maximum total leverage ratio is required to be no greater than 4.0 to 1.0 (beginning of year 4 of the Credit Facility), the security interest in the Franchise Agreements will be released.
	The Company may at any time prior to the final maturity date increase the amount of the Credit Facility by up to an additional $100 million to the extent that any one or more lenders commit to being a lender for the additional amount and certain other customary conditions are met. Such additional amounts may take the form of an increased revolver or term loan.
	The Company may elect to have borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 200 to 425 basis points based on the Company's total leverage ratio or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 100 to 325 basis points based on the Company's total leverage ratio.
	The Credit Facility requires the Company to pay a fee on the undrawn portion of the Revolver, calculated on the basis of the average daily unused amount of the Revolver multiplied by 0.30% per annum.
	The Company may reduce the Revolver commitment and/or prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part at any time without penalty, subject to reimbursement of customary breakage costs, if any. Any Term Loan prepayments made by the Company shall be applied to reduce the scheduled amortization payments in direct order of maturity.
	Additionally, the Credit Facility requires that the Company and its restricted subsidiaries comply with various covenants, including with respect to restrictions on liens, incurring indebtedness, making investments, paying dividends or repurchasing stock, and effecting mergers and/or asset sales. With respect to dividends, the Company may not make any payment if there is an existing event of default or if the payment would create an event of default. In addition, if the Company's total leverage ratio exceeds 4.50 to 1.00, the Company is generally restricted from paying aggregate dividends in excess of $50.0 million during any calendar year.
	The Credit Facility also imposes financial maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain:

	•	a total leverage ratio of not more than 5.75 to 1.00 in year 1, 5.00 to 1.00 in year 2, 4.50 to 1.00 in year 3 and 4.00 to 1.00 thereafter,

	•	a maximum secured leverage ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 in year 1, 2.25 to 1.00 in year 2, 2.00 to 1.00 in year 3 and 1.75 to 1.00 thereafter, and

	•	a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00 in years 1 and 2, 2.25 to 1.00 in year 3 and 2.50 to 1.00 thereafter.
	The Credit Facility includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. At June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
	At June 30, 2014, the Company had $135.0 million under the Term Loan and no amounts outstanding under the Revolver. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $138.8 million outstanding under the Term Loan and no amounts outstanding under the Revolver.
	Economic Development Loans
	The Company entered into economic development agreements with various governmental entities in conjunction with the relocation of its corporate headquarters in April 2013. In accordance with these agreements, the governmental entities agreed to advance approximately $4.4 million to the Company to offset a portion of the corporate headquarter relocation and tenant improvement costs in consideration of the employment of permanent, full-time employees within the jurisdictions. At June 30, 2014, the Company had been advanced approximately $3.4 million pursuant to these agreements and expects to receive the remaining $1 million over the next several years, subject to annual appropriations by the governmental entities. These advances bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum.
	Repayment of the advances is contingent upon the Company achieving certain performance conditions. Performance conditions are measured annually on December 31st and primarily relate to maintaining certain levels of employment within the various jurisdictions. If the Company fails to meet an annual performance condition, the Company may be required to repay a portion or all of the advances including accrued interest by April 30th following the measurement date. Any outstanding advances at the expiration of the Company's 10 year corporate headquarters lease in 2023 will be forgiven in full. The advances will be included in long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance sheets until the Company determines that the future performance conditions will be met over the entire term of the agreement and the Company will not be required to repay the advances. The Company accrues interest on the portion of the advances that it expects to repay. The Company was in compliance with all current performance conditions as of June 30, 2014.

	Non-Qualified Retirement, Savings and Investment Plans
	The Company sponsors two non-qualified retirement savings and investment plans for certain employees and senior executives. Employee and Company contributions are maintained in separate irrevocable trusts. Legally, the assets of the trusts remain those of the Company; however, access to the trusts' assets is severely restricted. The trusts cannot be revoked by the Company or an acquirer, but the assets are subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors. The participants do not have the right to assign or transfer contractual rights in the trusts.
	In 2002, the Company adopted the Choice Hotels International, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("EDCP") which became effective January 1, 2003. Under the EDCP, certain executive officers may defer a portion of their salary into an irrevocable trust. Prior to January 1, 2010, participants could elect an investment return of either the annual yield of the Moody's Average Corporate Bond Rate Yield Index plus 300 basis points, or a return based on a selection of available diversified investment options. Effective January 1, 2010, the Moody's Average Corporate Bond Rate Yield Index plus 300 basis points is no longer an investment option for salary deferrals made on compensation earned after December 31, 2009. The Company recorded current and long-term deferred compensation liabilities of $9.7 million and $11.3 million, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, related to these deferrals and credited investment returns. Compensation expense is recorded in SG&A expense on the Company's consolidated statements of income based on the change in the deferred compensation obligation related to earnings credited to participants as well as changes in the fair value of diversified investments. Compensation expense recorded in SG&A related to the EDCP for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Compensation expense recorded in SG&A related to the EDCP for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
	The Company has invested the employee salary deferrals in diversified long-term investments which are intended to provide investment returns that partially offset the earnings credited to the participants. The diversified investments held in the trusts totaled $4.4 million and $4.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are recorded at their fair value, based on quoted market prices. At June 30, 2014, the Company expects $0.2 million of the assets held in the trusts to be distributed to participants during the next twelve months. These investments are considered trading securities and therefore the changes in the fair value of the diversified assets is included in other gains and losses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded investment gains (losses) related to the EDCP during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of approximately $109 thousand and ($36) thousand, respectively. The Company recorded investment gains related to the EDCP during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of approximately $139 thousand and $87 thousand, respectively. In addition, the EDCP Plan held shares of the Company's common stock with a market value of $0.2 million at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which were recorded as a component of shareholders' deficit.
	In 1997, the Company adopted the Choice Hotels International, Inc. Non-Qualified Retirement Savings and Investment Plan ("Non-Qualified Plan"). The Non-Qualified Plan allows certain employees who do not participate in the EDCP to defer a portion of their salary and invest these amounts in a selection of available diversified investment options. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had recorded a deferred compensation liability of $14.2 million and $13.7 million, respectively, related to these deferrals. Compensation expense is recorded in SG&A expense on the Company's consolidated statements of income based on the change in the deferred compensation obligation related to earnings credited to participants as well as changes in the fair value of diversified investments. The net increase (decrease) in compensation expense recorded in SG&A related to the Non-Qualified Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.4 million and $(0.2) million, respectively. The net increase in compensation expense recorded in SG&A related to the Non-Qualified Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
	The diversified investments held in the trusts were $13.0 million and $12.3 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are recorded at their fair value, based on quoted market prices. These investments are considered trading securities and therefore the changes in the fair value of the diversified assets is included in other gains and losses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded investment gains (losses) related to the Non-Qualified Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of approximately $0.3 million and ($0.1) million, respectively. The Company recorded investment gains related to the Non-Qualified Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Non-Qualified Plan held shares of the Company's common stock with a market value of $1.2 million and $1.4 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which are recorded as a component of shareholders' deficit.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments utilizing a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs, as well as the assets that the Company values using those levels of inputs.
	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of marketable securities (primarily mutual funds) held in the Company’s EDCP and Non-Qualified Plan deferred compensation plans.
	Level 2: Observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable. The Company’s Level 2 assets consist of money market funds held in the Company’s EDCP and Non-Qualified Plan deferred compensation plans and those recorded in cash and cash equivalents.
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs, supported by little or no market data available, where the reporting entity is required to develop its own assumptions to determine the fair value of the instrument.

	The Company's policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of each quarterly reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had the following assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	-1	Included in Investments, employee benefit plans fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.
	Other Financial Instruments
	The Company believes that the fair value of its current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these items. In addition, the interest rates of the Company's Credit Facility adjust frequently based on current market rates; accordingly its carrying amount approximates fair value.
	The Company estimates the fair value of notes receivable which approximate their carrying value, utilizing an analysis of future cash flows and credit worthiness for similar types of arrangements. Based upon the availability of market data, these notes receivables have been classified as Level 3 inputs. The primary sensitivity in these calculations is based on the selection of appropriate interest and discount rates. For further information on the notes receivables, which are included in both other current assets and notes receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, see Note 3.
	The fair value of the Company's 2010 and 2012 Senior Notes are classified as Level 2 as the significant inputs are observable in an active market. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the 2010 Senior Notes had an approximate fair value of $271.3 million and $261.3 million, respectively. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the 2012 Senior Notes had an approximate fair value of $434.0 million and $416.0 million, respectively.

	Fair values estimated are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement of such fair value amounts may not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision.

	The effective income tax rates for income from continuing operations were 29.8% and 28.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and restated June 30, 2013, respectively. The effective income tax rates for income from continuing operations were 30.6% and 28.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and and restated June 30, 2013, respectively. The effective income tax rate for discontinued operations was 37.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and restated June 30, 2013.
	The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and restated June 30, 2013 was lower than the U.S federal income tax rate of 35% due to the recurring impact of foreign operations, partially offset by state income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the restated three and six months ended June 30, 2013 reflect the release of a valuation allowance on local country tax refunds received by a foreign subsidiary. The effective income tax rate for the restated six months ended June 30, 2013 was further reduced by settlements of unrecognized tax positions and legislation retroactively extending the U.S. controlled foreign corporation look-through rules.

	Stock Options
	No stock options were granted during the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company granted 0.7 million and 0.2 million options to certain employees of the Company at a fair value of $5.7 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The stock options granted by the Company had an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:



		2014 Grants				2013 Grants
	Risk-free interest rate	1.56		%		0.73		%
	Expected volatility	25.01		%		38.14		%
	Expected life of stock option	4.5 years				4.5 years

	Dividend yield	1.62		%		2.01		%
	Requisite service period	4 years				4 years

	Contractual life	7 years				7 years

	Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	8.82			$	9.89

	The expected life of the options and volatility are based on historical data and are not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns or actual volatility that may occur. Historical volatility is calculated based on a period that corresponds to the expected life of the stock option. The dividend yield and the risk-free rate of return are calculated on the grant date based on the then current dividend rate and the risk-free rate of return for the period corresponding to the expected life of the stock option. Compensation expense related to the fair value of these awards is recognized straight-line over the requisite service period based on those awards that ultimately vest.
	The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2014 was $34.1 million and $29.0 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $1.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. There were no options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $0.6 million.
	The Company received approximately $1.5 million and $6.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of 58,749 and 234,065 employee stock options during the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company received approximately $0.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of 29,742 employee stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
	Restricted Stock
	The following table is a summary of activity related to restricted stock grants:


		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

		2014				2013				2014			2013
	Restricted share grants	17,262				20,858				147,055			215,399

	Weighted average grant date fair value per share	$44.62				$45.32				$46.46			$37.59

	Vesting service period of shares granted	12 - 36 months				12 - 48 months				12 - 48 months			12 - 48 months
	Grant date fair value of shares vested ($000)	$	935			$	660			$	8,203		$	7,659

	Compensation expense related to the fair value of these awards is recognized straight-line over the requisite service period based on those restricted stock grants that ultimately vest. The fair value of grants is measured by the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards generally vest ratably over the service period beginning with the first anniversary of the grant date. Awards granted to retirement eligible non-employee directors are recognized over the shorter of the requisite service period or the length of time until retirement since the terms of the grant provide that the awards will vest upon retirement.
	Performance Vested Restricted Stock Units
	The Company has granted performance vested restricted stock units ("PVRSU") to certain employees. The fair value is measured by the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. The vesting of these stock awards is contingent upon the Company achieving performance targets at the end of specified performance periods and the employees' continued employment. The performance conditions affect the number of shares that will ultimately vest. The range of possible stock-based award vesting is generally between 0% and 200% of the initial target. If minimum performance targets are not attained then no awards will vest under the terms of the various PVRSU agreements. Compensation expense related to these awards is recognized over the requisite service period based on the Company's estimate of the achievement of the various performance targets. The Company has currently estimated that between 0% and 150% of the various award targets will be achieved. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period only on those PVRSUs that ultimately vest.
	The following table is a summary of activity related to PVRSU grants:


		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

		2014				2013				2014			2013

	During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, no PVRSU grants vested. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, a total of 28,886 PVRSU grants vested at a fair value of $1.4 million. These PVRSU grants were initially granted at a target of 18,635 units. However, since the Company achieved 155% of the targeted performance conditions contained in the stock awards granted in prior periods, an additional 10,251 shares were earned and issued.
	During the six months ended June 30, 2013, a total of 39,816 PVRSU grants vested at a fair value of $1.3 million. These PVRSU grants were initially granted at a target of 30,624 units. However, since the Company achieved 130% of the targeted performance conditions contained in the stock awards granted in prior periods, an additional 9,192 shares were earned and issued.

_________________________________
(1)PVRSU units outstanding have been increased by 10,251 units due to the Company exceeding the targeted performance conditions contained in PVRSUs granted in prior periods during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
The components of the Company’s pretax share-based compensation expense and associated income tax benefits are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Total	$	1.8			$	2.9			$	4.8		$	5.8

Income tax benefits	$	0.7			$	1.1			$	1.8		$	2.1

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company revised its estimate of the projected achievement of various performance conditions that affect the number of PVRSUs that will ultimately vest.

	The Company's unvested restricted shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, and thus are participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share ("EPS"). The calculation of EPS for common stock shown above excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted share awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those awards from the denominator.
	At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 2.3 million and 1.8 million outstanding stock options, respectively. Stock options are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period, unless the stock options would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company excluded 0.7 million of anti-dilutive stock options from the diluted EPS calculation. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not exclude any anti-dilutive stock options from the diluted EPS calculation.
	PVRSUs are also included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when the performance conditions have been met at the reporting date. However, at June 30, 2014 and 2013, PVRSUs totaling 222,385 and 198,394, respectively, were excluded from the computation since the performance conditions had not been met.

	Reportable Segment Information

	Franchising: Franchising includes the Company's hotel franchising operations consisting of its eleven brands. The eleven brands are aggregated within this segment considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels and regulatory business environments. Revenues from the franchising business include royalty fees, initial franchise and relicensing fees, marketing and reservation system fees, procurement services revenue and other franchising related revenue. The Company is obligated under its franchise agreements to provide marketing and reservation services appropriate for the operation of its systems. These services do not represent separate reportable segments as their operations are directly related to the Company's franchising business. The revenues received from franchisees that are used to pay for part of the Company's ongoing operations are included in franchising revenues and are offset by the related expenses paid for marketing and reservation activities to calculate franchising operating income.
	SkyTouch Technology: SkyTouch Technology ("SkyTouch") is a division of the Company that develops and markets cloud-based technology products to hoteliers not under franchise agreements with the Company.
	The Company evaluates its segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, income taxes or indirect general and administrative expenses. Equity in earnings or losses from franchising related joint ventures is allocated to the Company's franchising segment. All other joint ventures are allocated to corporate & other. Corporate and other expenses consist primarily of overhead selling, general and administrative costs such as finance, legal, human resources and other general administrative expenses that are not allocated to the Company's two segments. As described in Note 4, certain interest expenses related to the Company's marketing and reservation activities are allocated to the franchising segment. The Company does not allocate the remaining interest expense, interest income, other gains and losses or income taxes to its segments.
	The following table presents the financial information for the Company's segments:

	The Company is not a party to any litigation other than litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company's management and legal counsel do not expect that the ultimate outcome of any of its currently ongoing legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Contingencies
	On October 9, 2012, the Company entered into a limited payment guaranty with regards to a VIE's $18.0 million bank loan for the construction of a hotel franchised under one of the Company's brands in the United States. Under the terms of the limited guaranty, the Company has agreed to guarantee 25% of the outstanding principal balance for a maximum exposure of $4.5 million and accrued and unpaid interest, as well as any unpaid expenses incurred by the lender. The limited guaranty shall remain in effect until the maximum amount guaranteed by the Company is paid in full. In addition to the limited guaranty, the Company entered into an agreement in which the Company guarantees the completion of the construction of the hotel and an environmental indemnity agreement which indemnifies the lending institution from and against any damages relating to or arising out of possible environmental contamination issues with regards to the property.
	On November 15, 2013, the Company entered into a limited payment guaranty with regards to a VIE's $46.2 million bank loan for the construction of a hotel franchised under one of the Company's brands in the United States. Under the terms of the limited guaranty, the Company has agreed to unconditionally guarantee and become surety for the full and timely payment of the guaranteed outstanding principal balance, as well as any unpaid expenses incurred by the lender. The guarantee is limited to 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the $46.2 million loan due at any time for a maximum exposure of $11.6 million. The limited guaranty shall remain in effect until the maximum amount guaranteed by the Company is repaid in full. The maturity date of the VIE's loan is May 2017. In conjunction with this guaranty, the Company has entered into a reimbursement and guaranty agreement with certain individuals that requires them to reimburse the Company in an amount equal to 75% of any payments made by the Company under this limited payment guaranty.
	Commitments
	The Company has the following commitments outstanding at June 30, 2014:

	•	The Company occasionally provides financing in the form of forgivable promissory notes or cash incentives to franchisees for property improvements, hotel development efforts and other purposes. At June 30, 2014, the Company had commitments to extend an additional $13.3 million for these purposes provided certain conditions are met by its franchisees, of which $6.0 million is expected to be advanced in the next twelve months.

	•	The Company committed to make additional capital contributions totaling $2.1 million to existing joint ventures related to the construction of various hotels to be operated under the Company's Cambria Suites brand. These commitments are expected to be funded in the next twelve months.

	•	The Company has a property improvement incentive program for its domestic Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites hotels to incent hotel owners to renovate their properties to accelerate improvement of the brand's product quality and consistency, guest satisfaction and brand performance. The Company has committed to provide financing in the form of forgivable promissory notes to qualifying domestic hotels for a portion of their Company approved and completed property improvement expenses. Financing will be provided upon the completion and Company certification of the renovations. At June 30, 2014, the Company had commitments to extended $25.3 million for this purpose provided certain conditions are met by its franchisees. These commitments are expected to be funded in the next twelve months.

	•	The Company has committed to loan monies totaling approximately $3.3 million to support the construction of a hotel under the Company's Cambria Suites brand. At June 30, 2014, the Company had funded approximately $2.2 million of this commitment and is expected to fund the remaining commitment within the next twelve months.
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that contain standard indemnities whereby the Company indemnifies another party for breaches of representations and warranties. Such indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including those governing (i) purchases or sales of assets or businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks, (iv) access to credit facilities, (v) issuances of debt or equity securities, and (vi) certain operating agreements. The indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) franchisees in licensing agreements, (iv) financial institutions in credit facility arrangements, (v) underwriters in debt or equity security issuances and (vi) parties under certain operating agreements. In addition, these parties are also generally indemnified against any third party claim resulting from the transaction that is contemplated in the underlying agreement. While some of these indemnities extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnities, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these indemnifications as the triggering events are not subject to predictability. With respect to certain of the aforementioned indemnities, such as indemnifications of landlords against third party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company maintains insurance coverage that mitigates potential liability.

	Discontinued Operations

	In the first quarter of 2014, the Company's management approved a plan to sell the three Company-owned hotels operated under the MainStay Suites brand and completed the disposal of these hotels at June 30, 2014. The Company determined that this disposal transaction met the definition of a discontinued operation since the operations and cash flows of this component has and will be eliminated from the on-going operations of the Company and the Company will not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the hotels after the disposal transaction.

	The operations related to these three Company-owned hotels were reported as a component of "Corporate and Other" for segment reporting purposes. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2014 presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements reflect these three Company-owned hotels as discontinued operations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to account for these operations as discontinued. Summarized financial information related to the discontinued operations is as follows:

In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company maintains cash balances of $172.5 million in international banks which do not provide deposit insurance.
New Accounting Guidance	'
	Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU 2013-04"). The ASU requires entities to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following: (a) The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Required disclosures include a description of the joint-and-several arrangement and the total outstanding amount of the obligation for all joint parties. The ASU permits entities to aggregate disclosures (as opposed to providing separate disclosures for each joint-and-several obligation). ASU 2013-04 was effective for all interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2014 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity" ("ASU 2013-05"). ASU 2013-05 clarifies that when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Matters" Subtopic 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The provisions of ASU 2013-05 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and the Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU 2013-11"). ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. The ASU does not require new recurring disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2014 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
	Future Adoption of Recently Announced Accounting Guidance
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" ("ASU 2014-08"). ASU 2014-08 changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 is effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which impacts virtually all aspects of an entity's revenue recognition. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, as well as most industry-specific guidance, and significantly enhances comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries by providing a principles-based, comprehensive framework for addressing revenue recognition issues. In order for a provider of promised goods or services to recognize as revenue the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for the promised goods or services, the provider should apply the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer(s); (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU No. 2014-09 also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and provides enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The guidance permits the retrospective or modified retrospective method when adopting ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is still assessing the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
