NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of CRICO Hotel Associates I, L.P. (the “General Partner”), the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L. P. (the “Partnership”) as of June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such instructions. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2009.
The Partnership and the chief operating decision maker consider the hotels’ operations as a single homogeneous business activity as it relates to achieving their objectives of cash flow growth and capital appreciation. The chief operating decision maker reviews cash flow and operating results in the aggregate in order to determine the appropriate level of cash available, if any, for distribution to the investors in the Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership considers itself to operate in a single reportable segment.
2. LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Partnership reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

3. WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE
The working capital reserve of $1,149,281 and $1,649,444 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, represents cash and cash equivalents reserved for working capital for the Partnership. The working capital reserve is available to support the operations of the Partnership and its hotel properties, including capital improvements of the hotel properties, as well as operating and financing obligations of the Partnership. During the six month period ending June 30, 2010, $500,163 of working capital reserves were used to meet operating and financing obligations of the Partnership.
4. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
In 2009, the Partnership contributed $105,000 to the Clearwater hotel for capital improvements and operating expenses.
5. MORTGAGES PAYABLE
On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (Citicorp) the Zero Coupon Notes which were originally issued in connection with the Partnership's acquisition of the hotels. The loan matured January 1, 2008. On that date, a balloon payment in the amount of $7,273,441 became due. The General Partner was unable to refinance the Partnership’s mortgage debt prior to its maturity. Although the loan was in default, the special servicer agreed to a forbearance agreement for a period of 180 days for payment of a fee in the amount of $72,734, plus continued monthly payments of principal, interest (at the pre-default rate) and tax and capital improvements escrows.
On May 6, 2008, the Partnership closed three loans from General Electric Credit Corporation (“GE”) in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 to refinance the Plymouth and Roseville hotels in Minnesota and the Clearwater hotel in Florida. The three loans are cross-collateralized by the three hotels. The Partnership used the loan proceeds together with the proceeds of a loan from Remediation Capital Funding, LLC in the amount of $2,900,000, of which $500,000 is held by the Lender pending resolution of the environmental matter further discussed below, secured by the University hotel in Minnesota, to pay off the existing debt in full.
The three new GE loans bear interest at the rate of 6.79% per annum and mature on January 1, 2016 with balloon payments due as set forth below:

Plymouth $887,269
Roseville $2,083,122
Clearwater $887,269
The Phase I environmental study of the University hotel required by GE revealed excess levels of three chemicals deemed hazardous in the groundwater on the property. The contamination is not due to acts or omissions of the hotel. Simultaneously with its refinancing efforts, the Partnership engaged a consultant to enroll the University property in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (“MCPA”) Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup ("VIC") Program and deal with the contamination at the site. The Partnership's goal is to obtain a No Action Letter with a Covenant Not to Sue, at which point it should be able to obtain financing on the property again. NOVA, the Partnership’s consultant, has prepared and submitted an additional Phase I study i n accordance with the guidelines established by the MPCA-VIC Program along with the application and proposed scope of work for the required Phase II study. On July 16, 2008, the MPCA approved the work plan for the Phase II study with samples of soil and ground water scheduled to begin collection for analysis August 11, 2008. On January 28, 2009, NOVA completed the Phase II study. Based on the results of the solvent, petroleum, and RCRA metal impacts above action or guidance levels that were detected in the soil, soil vapor and groundwater samples collected at the site, with the exception of the petroleum impacts, the compounds detected at the site appear to be associated with regional up gradient off-site areas of contamination located to the northeast and possibly to the north of the site. It does not appear that the historical uses of the site are the source of the solvent, soil vapor and groundwater impacts detected at the site. In March 2009, NOVA su bmitted these results and requests that the MPCA issue an Off-Site Determination letter and No Further Action letter for the site. In December 2009, after reviewing NOVA’s report the MPCA requested additional investigation to further evaluate the source of the chlorinated solvent contamination and the corresponding risk of the vapor intrusion into the site buildings. The objective of this additional investigation and continued groundwater monitoring was to further evaluate the soils and groundwater at the Site for the presence of impacts associated with both on-site and off-site environmental conditions. It was also the objective of the additional investigation to show that the concentrations detected in the groundwater samples collected from the monitoring wells are a result of the former Kempf Paper facility located to the northeast of the site at an up-gradient location. In addition a vapor intrusion assessment was also completed at the site. The investigation was conducted fro m April through June 2010 and in accordance with the Work Plan reviewed and approved by the MPCA. NOVA completed the scope of work and submitted a Supplemental Investigation and Groundwater Monitoring Report to the MPCA on June 28, 2010. Based on all of the results, NOVA in their professional opinion requested that the MPCA issue an Off-site Source Determination letter and No Further Action letter for the site. We are awaiting a reply from MCPA.

5. MORTGAGES PAYABLE - Continued
The loan with Remediation Capital bears interest at the rate of 14% per annum and originally matured on May 5, 2010. The Partnership negotiated a short term note extension with the current lender. On May 21, 2010, the Partnership paid a non-refundable extension fee of $29,000, one percent of the outstanding principal balance to extend the maturity date to September 5, 2010. The note matured on September 5, 2010 with an option to extend an additional two months, making the new maturity date November 5, 2010. The Partnership exercised the option to extend the maturity date to November 5, 2010 and paid an additional non-refundable extension fee of $29,000. The lender is currently processing the request. It is contemplated that this loan will be refinanced after the environmental issues at the University hotel have been resolved. The Partnership continues to work diligently to secure financing on the Remediation Capital loan.
In the event that the Partnership is unable to obtain refinancing or extend the current agreement further, the loan with the extension becomes due November 5, 2010, and the lender may exercise its right to foreclose on the Days Inn University hotel. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating $467,179 and $434,660 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Partnership's balance on the loan was $7,150,371 and $7,216,472 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. Due to current limitations on credit availability and market conditions, the estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. We estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable using discounted cash flow analysis, unobservable inputs, and other internally developed estimates that incorporate market-based assumptions to range from $3,500,000 to $4,000,000 for the Plymouth hotel, Roseville hotel and Clearwater hotel; and approximately $2,400,000 for the University hotel loan based on unobservable inputs.
6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS
The Partnership did not make a distribution in 2009 or the first and second quarters of 2010.

a. Hotel Management Agreements
The hotels had been operated by Bryanston Group, Inc. d/b/a Buckhead Hotel Management Company, Inc. (Buckhead), formerly known as Days Inns Management Company, Inc., under the nationally recognized franchise name of Days Inns. The Partnership entered into new management contracts with Oak Hotels, Inc., which will continue to be operated as Days Inns. The agreements provide for a base management fee of 3.5% of gross revenues from operations for the University hotel, Plymouth hotel, Rosewater hotel and Clearwater hotel and 4.5% for the Scottsdale hotel. As of February 1, 2010 management of the hotels was assigned to Capitol Hotel Group, Inc. (CHG). The management fees have remained unchanged. CHG was formed in 1986 to address the needs, interest and financ ial objectives of hotel operations from an owner’s perspective. CHG has been both an asset manager and a hotel operator of diverse properties in widely varied markets with many major hotel brands and a number of well-known independent destination resorts.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is based on the financial statements, and contains information that may be considered forward looking, including statements regarding the effect of governmental regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements and will be affected by a variety of factors including seasonality with respect to the hotel industry, national and local economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, governmental regulations affecting the Partnership and interpretations of those regulations, the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates, and the availability of working capital.
National Economic Condition
The economic recession and the slow pace of recovery continue to influence consumers’ confidence and discretionary spending. We believe the weak demand, increased competition and volatility of the economy have had a significant negative impact on the hotel industry, and, as a result, our operating performance during 2010 and 2009. In response to the difficult economic environment, our management has implemented cost savings measures and will continue to look for opportunities to further reduce expenses and maximize cash flows. We believe the current economic recession will continue to negatively affect our operating results in the future; however, we are uncertain as to the duration and magnitude of the recession’s impact.
Financial Condition/Liquidity
The Partnership's liquidity and future results of operations are primarily dependent upon the performance of the underlying hotels.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, existing cash resources were adequate to support operating and financing requirements. The Partnership anticipates that cash flows from the hotels’ operations and existing cash resources, in the aggregate, will be sufficient to pay operating and financing obligations of the Partnership for the foreseeable future. Existing cash resources of the Partnership are comprised of hotel operating cash and working capital reserves. At June 30, 2010 the Partnership held $361,559 and $1,149,281 in hotel operating cash and working capital reserves respectively. During the six months ending June 30, 2010, Hotel Operating Cash increased by $251,164 while cash held in the working capital reserve decreased by $500,163.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased during the six months ending June 30, 2010 largely due to the accrual of interest payments, which are now made monthly, in arrears, real estate tax payments and sales, and occupancy use tax payments which are only made on a periodic basis and the increased accrual of payroll costs due to the timing of payroll. Hotel trade payables decreased primarily due to lower occupancy compared to fourth quarter 2009.

Lease Agreement
The Partnership assumed an existing lease agreement from Days Inns of America, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of the leasehold interest in the Scottsdale Days Inn. The assumption transfers the rights to operate the property on the lease's existing terms over the remaining life of the lease. In October 2002, the lease was extended to expire on December 31, 2008. The Partnership has negotiated and executed a third short term extension through December 31, 2011 until the ground lessor decides to re-develop the property. There is no assurance that the lease will be renewed. Operating income for the Scottsdale hotel was $213,095 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010.
Financing
On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (Citicorp) the Zero Coupon Notes which were originally issued in connection with the Partnership's acquisition of the hotels. The loan matured January 1, 2008. On that date, a balloon payment in the amount of $7,273,441 became due. The General Partner was unable to refinance the Partnership’s mortgage debt prior to its maturity. Although the loan was in default, the special servicer agreed to a forbearance agreement for a period of 180 days for payment of a fee in the amount of $72,734, plus continued monthly payments of principal, interest (at the pre-default rate) and tax and capital improvements escrows.
On May 6, 2008, the Partnership closed three loans from General Electric Credit Corporation (“GE”) in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 to refinance the Plymouth and Roseville hotels in Minnesota and the Clearwater hotel in Florida. The three loans are cross-collateralized by the three hotels. The Partnership used the loan proceeds together with the proceeds of a loan from Remediation Capital Funding, LLC in the amount of $2,900,000, of which $500,000 is held by the Lender pending resolution of the environmental matter further discussed below, secured by the University hotel in Minnesota, to pay off the existing debt in full.
The three new GE loans bear interest at the rate of 6.79% per annum and mature on January 1, 2016 with balloon payments due as set forth below:
Plymouth $887,269
Roseville $2,083,122
Clearwater $887,269

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued
The Phase I environmental study of the University hotel required by GE revealed excess levels of three chemicals deemed hazardous in the groundwater on the property. The contamination is not due to acts or omissions of the hotel. Simultaneously with its refinancing efforts, the Partnership engaged a consultant to enroll the University property in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (“MCPA”) Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup ("VIC") Program and deal with the contamination at the site. The Partnership's goal is to obtain a No Action Letter with a Covenant Not to Sue, at which point it should be able to obtain financing on the property again. NOVA, the Partnership’s consultant, has prepared and submitted an additional Phase I study i n accordance with the guidelines established by the MPCA-VIC Program along with the application and proposed scope of work for the required Phase II study. On July 16, 2008, the MPCA approved the work plan for the Phase II study with samples of soil and ground water scheduled to begin collection for analysis August 11, 2008. On January 28, 2009, NOVA completed the Phase II study. Based on the results of the solvent, petroleum, and RCRA metal impacts above action or guidance levels that were detected in the soil, soil vapor and groundwater samples collected at the site, with the exception of the petroleum impacts, the compounds detected at the site appear to be associated with regional up gradient off-site areas of contamination located to the northeast and possibly to the north of the site. It does not appear that the historical uses of the site are the source of the solvent, soil vapor and groundwater impacts detected at the site. In March 2009, NOVA su bmitted these results and requests that the MPCA issue an Off-Site Determination letter and No Further Action letter for the site. In December 2009, after reviewing NOVA’s report the MPCA requested additional investigations to further evaluate the source of the chlorinated solvent contamination and the corresponding risk of the vapor intrusion into the site buildings. The objective of these additional investigations and continued groundwater monitoring was to further evaluate the soils and groundwater at the site for the presence of impacts associated with both on-site and off-site environmental conditions. It was also the objective of the additional investigations to show that the concentrations detected in the groundwater samples collected from the monitoring wells are a result of the former Kempf Paper facility located to the northeast of the site at an up-gradient location. In addition, a vapor intrusion assessment was also completed at the site. The investigation was conducte d from April through June 2010 and in accordance with the Work Plan reviewed and approved by the MPCA. NOVA completed the scope of work and submitted a Supplemental Investigation and Groundwater Monitoring Report to the MPCA on June 28, 2010. Based on all of the results, NOVA in their professional opinion requested that the MPCA issue an Off-Site Source Determination letter and No Further Action letter for the site. We are awaiting a reply from MCPA.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued
The loan with Remediation Capital bears interest at the rate of 14% per annum and originally matured on May 5, 2010. The Partnership negotiated a short term note extension with the current lender. On May 21, 2010, the Partnership paid a non-refundable extension fee of $29,000, one percent of the outstanding principal balance to extend the maturity date to September 5, 2010. The note matured on September 5, 2010 with an option to extend an additional two months, making the new maturity date November 5, 2010. The Partnership exercised the option to extend the maturity date to November 5, 2010 and paid an additional non-refundable extension fee of $29,000. The lender is currently processing the request. It is contemplated that this loan will be refinanced after the environmental issues at the University hotel have been resolved. The Partnership continues to work diligently to secure financing on the Remediation Capital loan.
In the event that the Partnership is unable to obtain refinancing or extend the current agreement, the loan becomes due November 5, 2010, the lender may exercise its right to foreclose on the Days Inn University hotel. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating $467,179 and $434,660 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Partnership's balance on the loan was $7,150,371 and $7,216,472 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Results of Operations - Partnership
During the first six months of 2010 the Partnership recorded a net loss of $595,039, compared to a net loss of $542,124, during the first six months of 2009. The increase in net loss was primarily due to reduced room revenue despite higher occupancy due to a nine percent reduction in overall room rates. In addition, professional fees increased due to higher audit fees. The lower room revenue and higher professional fees were partially offset by reduced departmental expenses and a reduction in most categories of operating expenses.
The General Partner is not able to predict the future trend of hotel gross operating income, especially rooms revenue as it is affected by occupancy and average daily rate. The General Partner continues to work closely with the hotels’ manager to contain any increase in unallocated operating expenses.
An analysis of each hotel's operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, follows.

Operating expenses remained constant, however, a property tax increase reduced the amount of income realized by the hotel.
Plymouth, Minnesota: Gross operating income and operating income for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to 2009 primarily due to higher room occupancy that can be partially attributable to lower average room rates charged.

Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2010
Clearwater, Florida: Gross operating income decreased and the operating loss increased for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009 despite an increase in occupancy, which was more than offset by increased departmental and operating expenses. The Florida market continues to lose occupancy due to the economy and effects of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Minneapolis, Minnesota: Gross operating income and operating income for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to 2009 primarily due to an increase in occupancy however, a lower average room rate partially offset the gain.

Plymouth, Minnesota: Gross operating income increased, however, operating loss also increased for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to higher occupancy, which was more than offset by higher maintenance costs and an increase in property taxes.
Roseville, Minnesota: Gross operating income and operating income for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 increased from 2009 primarily due to higher occupancy, which was partially attributable to lower average room rates. Operating expenses grew slightly, largely as a result of repair and maintenance costs and increased property taxes.
Scottsdale, Arizona: Gross operating income decreased, however, operating income increased for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009. Gross operating income decreased as a result of lower average room rates, despite an increase in occupancy and an increase in food and beverage sales.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal fi nancial officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as it was noted that our Annual Report omitted Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and certain introductory language in paragraph 4 of our certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act referring to internal control over financial reporting. We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures to correct the deficiency that lead to these omissions and expect to implement changes in the near term.
b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
