Organization	'
	Organization
	FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation, operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. FelCor is the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 99.5% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 59 hotels as of March 31, 2014, one of which was held for sale. At March 31, 2014, we had an aggregate of 124,803,232 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 124,185,690 shares of FelCor common stock and 617,542 FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor.
	Of the 58 hotels not held for sale as of March 31, 2014, we owned a 100% interest in 41 hotels, a 90% interest in entities owning two hotels, an 82% interest in an entity owning one hotel, a 60% interest in an entity owning one hotel and a 50% interest in entities owning 13 hotels. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 45 hotels in which we held majority interests, and we record the real estate interests of the 13 hotels in which we held 50% interests using the equity method. We leased 57 of the 58 hotels in continuing operations to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, of which we own a controlling interest. One 50% owned hotel was operated without a lease. Because we owned controlling interests in these lessees, we consolidated our interests in these 57 hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect those hotels’ operating revenues and expenses in our statements of operations.  Of our Consolidated Hotels, we owned 50% of the real estate interests in each of 12 hotels (we accounted for the ownership in our real estate interests of these hotels by the equity method) and majority real estate interests in each of the remaining 45 hotels (we consolidate our real estate interest in these hotels).
	The following table illustrates the distribution of our 57 Consolidated Hotels at March 31, 2014:
	Brand	Hotels	Rooms
	Embassy Suites Hotels®	31	8,167
	Wyndham® and Wyndham Grand®	8	2,528
	Holiday Inn®	4	1,702
	Sheraton® and Westin®	4	1,604

	DoubleTree by Hilton® and Hilton®	4	998
	Fairmont®	1	383
	Morgans and Royalton	2	285
	Total	57	16,988
	At March 31, 2014, our Consolidated Hotels were located in the United States (56 hotels in 21 states) and Canada (one hotel in Ontario), with concentrations in California (13 hotels), Florida (7 hotels) and Texas (7 hotels). Approximately 58% of our revenue was generated from hotels in these three states during the first three months of 2014.
	At March 31, 2014, of our 57 Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, managed 34 hotels, (ii) subsidiaries of Wyndham Hotel Group, or Wyndham, managed eight hotels, (iii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed four hotels, (iv) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed four hotels, (v) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc., or Marriott, managed three hotels, (vi) a subsidiary of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, or Fairmont, managed one hotel, (vii) a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Corporation managed two hotels, and (viii) an independent management company managed one hotel.
	1.    Organization — (continued)
	In addition to the above hotels, we own a 95% interest in a consolidated joint venture that owns the Knickerbocker Hotel, a former hotel and office building that is being redeveloped as a 4+ star hotel in midtown Manhattan and is expected to open in early fall 2014.
	The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is unaudited. Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.

	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned 13 hotels. We also own 50% interests in entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and provide condominium management services there. 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.

	Our unconsolidated entities’ debt at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted entirely of non-recourse mortgage debt.  In March 2014, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures refinanced $128 million of debt and extended the maturity until 2017.

	(c)	In November 2012, we obtained an $85.0 million construction loan to finance the redevelopment of the Knickerbocker Hotel. This loan can be extended for one year subject to satisfying certain conditions. In January 2014, we drew $13.0 million of the cash collateral to fund construction costs, leaving $51.9 million of cash collateral to be drawn before drawing on the remaining $20.1 million available under the construction loan.
	In January 2014, we repaid $10.9 million of secured loan debt, scheduled to mature in July 2014, when we sold a hotel. In March 2014, we repaid an additional $17.1 million of debt, secured by a hotel, scheduled to mature in June 2014. We incurred $251,000 of debt extinguishment costs with these repayments.
	We reported $25.2 million and $26.3 million of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $15,000 and $22,000 and (ii) capitalized interest of $4.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

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, which are recorded as a bad debt expense.

	In March 2013, we rebranded and transitioned management at eight core hotels located in strategic markets to Wyndham brands. Wyndham's parent guaranteed a minimum level of net operating income for each year of the initial ten-year term, subject to an aggregate $100 million limit over the term and an annual $21.5 million limit. Amounts recorded under the guaranty will be accounted for, to the extent available, as a reduction in contractual management and other fees paid and payable to Wyndham. Any amounts in excess of those fees will be recorded as revenue when earned. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we have recorded a $136,000 and $464,000, respectively, pro rata portion of the projected full-year guaranty as a reduction of Wyndham's contractual management and other fees.

	Hotel Dispositions
	Effective January 1, 2014, we have adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (the Update), under which the disposal of components of an entity are reported as discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. These new provisions are applied prospectively only and, as such, hotels that were considered discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and prior continue to be reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented.
	During the first quarter, we sold two hotels, one of which was not previously held for sale. Additionally, as of March 31, 2014, we had one hotel held for sale. We designate a hotel as held for sale when the sale is probable within the next twelve months. We consider a sale to be probable when a buyer completes its due diligence review, we have an executed contract for sale, and we have received a substantial non-refundable deposit. Operations for these two hotels (the hotel sold not previously held for sale and the hotel held for sale as of March 31, 2014) are included in loss from continuing operations as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 as disposition of these hotels does not represent a strategic shift in our business. The operations from these two components included income of $396,000 (of which $394,000 was attributable to FelCor) and a loss of $2,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The gain on the sale of the hotel not previously held for sale is reported in the accompanying statement of operations on a separate line item and is not included in continuing operations.
	Discontinued operations include the results of operations for five hotels sold in 2013 and one hotel sold in 2014 (which was held for sale as of December 31, 2013). The following table summarizes the condensed financial information for those hotels (in thousands):

	We grant our executive officers restricted stock units each year, which provides them with the potential to earn shares of our common stock in three increments over four years. The actual number of shares that vest is determined based on total stockholder return relative to a group of 10 lodging REIT peers. We amortize the fixed cost of these grants over the vesting period. We calculate the potential dilutive impact of these awards on our earnings per share using the treasury stock method.

	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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. Different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts.
	Our estimates of the fair value of (i) cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, 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 (a Level 2 input) and has an estimated fair value of $1.3 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013; and (iii) our debt that is not publicly-traded is based on a discounted cash flow model using effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, loan to estimated fair value of collateral and remaining maturities (a Level 3 input) and has an estimated fair value of $364.3 million and $390.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of all our debt was $1.7 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The carrying value of our debt was $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP / Redeemable Units
	We record redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP, in the case of FelCor, and redeemable units, in the case of FelCor LP, in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity or partners’ capital) of our consolidated balance sheets because of the redemption feature of these units. Additionally, FelCor’s consolidated statements of operations separately present earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. We adjust redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP (or redeemable units) each period to reflect the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value. The historical cost is based on the proportionate relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with FelCor’s common stockholders relative to that of FelCor LP’s unitholders. Redemption value is based on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at period end. FelCor allocates net income (loss) to FelCor LP’s noncontrolling partners based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period.
	At March 31, 2014, we had 617,542 limited partnership units outstanding carried at $5.6 million. The value of these outstanding units is based on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at March 31, 2014 ($9.04 per share).

	Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital
	Our joint venture that is redeveloping the Knickerbocker Hotel raised $45 million through the sale of 3.5% preferred equity/capital under the EB-5 immigrant investor program. The investors in this preferred equity receive a3.25% current annual return, with a 0.25% non-compounding annual return paid at redemption. If the preferred equity is not redeemed within five years, the current return increases to 8.00%. The venture received $41.5 million in gross proceeds ($40.9 million net of issuance costs) in the first quarter of 2014, and the remaining $3.5 million will be received as investors’ visas are approved by the government. We used our 95% share of the proceeds to repay borrowings under our line of credit.
