FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. We are the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 99% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 87 hotels with approximately 25,000 rooms and suites at September 30, 2009.

Of the 87 hotels in which we had an ownership interest at September 30, 2009, we owned a 100% interest in 66 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owning four hotels, an 81% interest in an entity owning one hotel, a 60% interest in an entity owning one hotel and a 50% interest in entities owning 15 hotels. We leased 86 of our hotels to operating lessees and one 50%-owned hotel is operated without a lease.

We consolidate the operating lessees of 85 of our hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) in our statement of operations (i.e., we record 100% of hotel operating revenues and expenses before noncontrolling interests) because we have controlling interests in these operating lessees. Our Consolidated Hotels include the operations of 13 of the 15 hotels in which we had a 50% ownership interest at September 30, 2009 (because we own a majority interest in the operating lessees for these 13 hotels). We do not consolidate hotel operating revenues and expenses of our other two 50% owned hotels.

At September 30, 2009, we had 64,983,330 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 64,687,487 shares of FelCor common stock and 295,843 FelCor LP limited partnership units not owned by FelCor.

The following table illustrates the distribution of our 85 Consolidated Hotels among our various brands at September 30, 2009:

Brand	Hotels		Rooms
Embassy Suites Hotels®		47	12,132
Holiday Inn®		17	6,306
Sheraton® and Westin®		9	3,217
Doubletree®		7	1,471
Marriott® and Renaissance®		3	1,321
Hilton®		2	559
Total hotels		85

At September 30, 2009, our Consolidated Hotels were located in the United States (83 hotels in 23 states) and Canada (two hotels in Ontario), with concentrations in California (15 hotels), Florida (14 hotels) and Texas (11 hotels). Approximately 51% of our hotel room revenues were generated from hotels in these three states during the first nine months of 2009.

At September 30, 2009, of our 85 Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, managed 54 hotels, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed 17 hotels, (iii) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed nine hotels, (iv) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc., or Marriott, managed three hotels, and (iv) independent management companies managed two hotels.

Our hotels managed by Marriott are accounted for on a fiscal year comprised of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to December 31. Our nine-month period ending September 30, 2009 includes the results of operations for our Marriott-managed hotels for the thirty-six week period ending September 11, 2009.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Organization – (continued)

The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited. Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2008, included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 11, 2009. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.

2.	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

We owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned 15 hotels at September 30, 2009 and 17 hotels at December 31, 2008. We also own a 50% interest in joint ventures that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, provide condominium management services and lease one hotel. We account for our investments in these unconsolidated entities under the equity method. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated in our financial statements. We make adjustments to our equity in income from unconsolidated entities related to the depreciation of our excess basis in investment in unconsolidated entities when compared to the historical basis of the assets recorded by the joint ventures.

The following table summarizes combined financial information for our unconsolidated entities (in thousands):

	September 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
Balance sheet information:
Investment in hotels, net of accumulated depreciation	$	268,918	$	290,504
Total assets	$	290,655	$	317,672
Debt	$	216,206	$	224,440
Total liabilities	$	223,062	$	233,296
Equity	$	67,593	$	84,376

Our unconsolidated entities’ debt at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted entirely of non-recourse mortgage debt.

(a)

Net income (loss) includes impairment charges of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. These impairments were based on sales contracts (a Level 2 input) for two hotels owned by one of our joint ventures.

(b)

Impairment charge in 2008 reflects a $2.1 million impairment charge related to an unrecoverable investment in an unconsolidated entity.

(c)

As a result of an impairment charge recorded by one of our joint ventures, the net book value of the joint venture’s assets no longer supported the recovery of our investment. Therefore, we recorded an additional impairment charge to reduce our investment in this joint venture to zero. We have no obligation to provide this joint venture with future funding.

(a)

In October 2009, we issued $636 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10% senior notes due 2014. The new notes are secured by mortgages and related security interests on up to 14 hotels. A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of these notes was used to repurchase $214 million of our floating-rate senior notes and $213 million of our 8½% senior notes.

(b)

As a result of a rating down-grade in February 2009, the interest rate on our 8½% fixed-rate senior notes due 2011 increased by 50 basis points to 9.0%.

(c)

We terminated and repaid all outstanding obligations under our line of credit in the second quarter of 2009.

(d)

Interest rates are calculated based on the weighted average debt outstanding at September 30, 2009.

(e)

We have purchased an interest rate cap that caps LIBOR at 7.8% and expires in November 2010 for this notional amount.

(f)

The maturity date assumes that we will exercise the remaining one-year extension option that is exercisable, at our sole discretion, and would extend the current November 2010 maturity to 2011.

(g)

In June 2009, we obtained a $201 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels.

(h)

LIBOR for this loan is subject to a 2% floor.

(i)

This loan can be extended for as many as two years, subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy.

(j)

We have purchased interest rate caps that cap LIBOR at 6.5% and expire in May 2010 for aggregate notional amounts of $177 million.

(k)

We have exercised the first of three successive one-year extension options that extend, at our sole discretion, maturity to 2012.

(l)

The hotels under this debt are subject to separate loan agreements and are not cross collateralized.

(m)

This debt was refinanced in March 2009.

(n)

We allowed these loans to go into default when they matured in June 2009. We have received term sheets from the special servicer to extend the maturity of these loans for two years, which we are currently evaluating.

3. Debt – (continued)

We reported $24.4 million and $24.1 million of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and (ii) capitalized interest of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. We reported interest expense of $68.5 million and $74.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and (ii) capitalized interest of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

In October 2009, we completed a private placement of $636 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10% senior secured notes due 2014. The new notes are secured by a pledge of our limited partner interests in FelCor LP, first mortgages and related security interests on up to 14 hotels and pledges of equity interests in certain wholly-owned subsidiaries. Net proceeds from the new notes were approximately $558 million after original issue discount and other fees and expenses related to the offering. The proceeds of these notes were used to retire approximately $427 million of other corporate debt ($214 million of our floating-rate senior secured notes and $213 million of our 8½% senior notes) and for general corporate purposes.

In June 2009, we obtained a $201 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels. This loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 350 basis points and matures in 2011. This loan can be extended for as many as two years, subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy. We have the right to prepay the loan and/or obtain partial release of one or more of the mortgages, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds from this new loan will be used for general corporate purposes.

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

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

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

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, nearly all of our revenue was comprised of hotel operating revenue, which included room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and revenue from other hotel operating departments (such as telephones, parking and business centers). These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts, which are recorded as a bad debt expense. The remainder of our revenue was derived from other sources.

(a)

Hotel lease expense represents 100% of the lease expense related to 13 of our 50% owned unconsolidated hotels (because we own majority ownership interests in their operating lessees) and paid to 13 of our unconsolidated, 50%-owned ventures. Hotel lease expense includes percentage rent (based on operating results) of $3.8 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $10.7 million and $21.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

6. Impairment Charge

Our hotels comprise operations and cash flows that can clearly be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of our operations. Accordingly, we consider our hotels to be components for purposes of determining impairment charges and reporting discontinued operations.

During 2008, we identified eight hotels as candidates to be sold and tested them for impairment (three no longer are identified as candidates for sale and five hotels remain sale candidates). Of the hotels tested, two failed the test. Accordingly, we wrote down these hotel assets to our then current estimate of their fair market value before selling expenses, which resulted in a $17.1 million impairment charge in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. During the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, we recorded a $2.1 million and a $1.4 million impairment charge, respectively. The first quarter 2009 impairment is related to one of our sale candidates and the third quarter 2009 impairment is related to another sale candidate. Both of these valuations are based on third-party offers to purchase (a Level 2 input) at a price less than our previously estimated fair value. We consider a sale to be probable within the next twelve months (for purposes of determining whether a hotel is held for sale) in the period the buyer completes its due diligence review of the asset, we have an executed contract for sale, and we have received a substantial non-refundable deposit. The hotels identified as sale candidates continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives.

In October 2009, we received a substantial non-refundable deposit under contracts for the sale of two of our sale candidate hotels. These hotels had a net book value of $25.4 million at September 30, 2009. We do not anticipate a significant gain or loss from the sale of these hotels.

7. Gain on Involuntary Conversion

During the second quarter of 2008, we settled insurance claims related to 2005 hurricane losses and realized a $3.1 million gain from involuntary conversion, as the final proceeds received exceeded our estimated basis in the assets requiring replacement.

8. Discontinued Operations

Results of operations of eleven hotels sold in 2007 are included in discontinued operations. The following table summarizes the condensed financial information for those hotels (in thousands):

10. Suspension of Dividends

We suspended our common dividends in December 2008 and our preferred dividends in March 2009. Although dividends are not paid unless declared by our Board of Directors, unpaid preferred dividends continue to accrue, and accrued and current preferred dividends must be paid in full prior to payment of any common dividends. Our Board of Directors will determine whether to declare future dividends based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.

11. Noncontrolling Interests

We record the noncontrolling interests of other consolidated partnerships as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the condensed consolidated statements of operations separately present earnings and other comprehensive income attributable to controlling and non-controlling interests. We adjust the noncontrolling interests of FelCor LP each period so that the carrying value equals the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value. The historical cost of the noncontrolling interests of FelCor LP is based on the proportional relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with our common stockholders relative to that of the unitholders of FelCor LP. Net income (loss) is allocated to the noncontrolling partners of FelCor LP based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period. At September 30, 2009, approximately $1.3 million of cash or FelCor common stock, at our option, would be paid to the noncontrolling interests of FelCor LP if the partnership were terminated. This balance is equivalent to the approximately 295,843 partnership units outstanding valued at the September 30, 2009 FelCor common stock closing price of $4.53, which we have assumed would be equal to the value provided to outside partners upon liquidation of FelCor LP.

The changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and year ended December 31, 2008, are shown below (in thousands):

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2009. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts.

FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – (continued)

Our estimates of the fair value of (i) accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments (ii) our publicly-traded debt is based on observable market data and (iii) our debt that is not traded publicly is based on estimated effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, loan to estimated fair value and remaining maturities (the estimated fair value of all our debt was $1.5 billion at September 30, 2009).

13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The FASB recently amended its guidance surrounding a company’s analysis to determine whether any of its variable interests constitute controlling financial interests in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.

Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and, accordingly, we will reevaluate our interests in variable interest entities for the period beginning on January 1, 2010 to determine that the entities are reflected properly in the financial statements as investments or consolidated entities. We do not anticipate that the implementation of this guidance will have a material effect on our financial statements.

14. Subsequent Events

We have performed an evaluation of subsequent events through November 4, 2009 (which is the date the financial statements were issued), and the results of this evaluation are appropriately reflected in these financial statements.

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

General

We expect the current economic conditions will continue to negatively affect hospitality demand for the remainder of 2009. We believe hotel occupancy, currently near historical lows, will begin to improve in 2010, but we also expect continued pressure on average daily room rates, or ADR, until demand increases significantly. While we have experienced some slowing of negative trends in recent periods and an increase in transient demand, consumers are taking advantage of the historically high number of available rooms to shift pricing power and accordingly, lower ADR. Gross domestic product and capacity utilization have historically been highly correlated to travel demand. These indicators have recently started improving and we expect hotel demand to follow.

In the first nine months of 2009, the lodging industry experienced nationwide decreases in revenue per available room, or RevPAR (U.S. upper-upscale average RevPAR decreased 19.8% in the first nine months of 2009). However, in spite of reduced RevPAR, our hotels increased portfolio market share by approximately 1.5% in the first nine months of 2009 and 1.8% for the quarter. We believe our market share gain is attributable largely to our recently completed comprehensive hotel renovation program, well-located high quality hotels, asset management and strong brand affiliations.

We are focused on increasing market share, protecting ADR, preserving margins and managing our balance sheet. With contracting lodging demand in 2009, we continue to work closely with our brand-managers on extensive cost containment initiatives in the face of a lower RevPAR environment. Many of our hotels have been able to reduce labor costs permanently, and all of our hotels have trimmed non-critical functions. These cost reductions have enabled us to minimize margin erosion at our hotels despite reduced hotel revenues.

In light of the global recession, we have taken the following steps to build additional flexibility into our capital structure:

In October 2009, we completed the private placement of $636 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10% senior secured notes due 2014. Our net proceeds from these notes were approximately $558 million after original issue discount and other fees and expenses related to the offering. The proceeds of these notes were used to repurchase approximately $427 million in aggregate principal amount of our existing senior notes due in 2011 and for general corporate purposes.

In June 2009, we obtained a $201 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels that matures in 2011. This loan can be extended for up to two years subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy.

In June 2009, we repaid and terminated our line of credit. By terminating our line of credit, we eliminated certain restrictive corporate debt covenants.

In March 2009, we refinanced our $116 million loan maturing in 2009, with a new non-recourse term loan secured by the same seven hotels that matures in 2014.

We are continuing our discussions with current and potential lenders to modify and/or refinance all of our remaining debt scheduled to mature in 2010.

In June, we completed the final phase of the comprehensive redevelopment of our San Francisco Marriott Union Square hotel. Third quarter RevPAR increased 53% at this hotel (which operated as Hotel 480 prior to April), compared to the prior year, and its market share increased by 98%, exceeding expectations. The market share index for this hotel was 107% in the third quarter compared to 80% for calendar year 2007 (before its renovation and rebranding).

We suspended our common dividend in December 2008 and our preferred dividend in March 2009. Although dividends are not paid unless declared by our Board of Directors, unpaid preferred dividends continue to accrue, and accrued and current preferred dividends must be paid in full prior to payment of any common dividends. Our Board of Directors will determine whether to declare future dividends based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $34.8 million, or $0.55 per share, compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $51.3 million, or $0.83 per share, for the same period in 2008. The current year loss is attributable primarily to a 17.1% decrease in revenue compared to the same period in 2008. Despite the decrease in revenue, we were able to limit our margin loss in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, primarily by reducing hotel labor costs by $8.9 million and reducing other costs associated with non-critical functions. Our hotel expenses decreased by 11.6% compared to third quarter of 2008. Our 2009 net loss also includes a $2.1 million impairment charge associated with one hotel. Our 2008 net loss included a $36.7 million impairment charge associated with two hotels and a $1.7 million hurricane-related loss.

In the third quarter of 2009:

Total revenue was $230.2 million, a 17.1% decrease compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in revenue is attributed principally to a 17.8% decrease in RevPAR, which was driven by a 6.0% decrease in occupancy and a 12.5% decrease in ADR.

Hotel departmental expenses decreased $9.8 million (10.5%) compared to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 33.7% to 36.4% compared to the same period in 2008. This expense reduction reflects: (i) the 6.0% decrease in occupancy; (ii) a $5.4 million decrease in labor costs, which included permanent reductions related to a decrease in hotel employees; (iii) a decrease in non-critical room expenses, such as guest transportation, in-room amenities, bath linen quantities, and newspaper service; and (iv) menu modifications in food and beverage.

Other property related costs decreased $10.5 million (13.6%) compared to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, other property related costs increased from 27.7% to 28.9% compared to the same period in 2008. This expense reduction reflects: (i) a $3.5 million decrease in labor costs; (ii) a $2.4 million decrease in marketing assessments, credit card commissions and frequent guest expense (all of which reflect the decrease in revenue); (iii) a $1.5 million decrease in repairs and maintenance, partially attributable to our recently completed renovation program; and (iv) reductions in other non-critical expenses.

Management and franchise fees decreased $2.2 million compared to the same period in 2008, due to the decrease in revenues. As a percent of total revenue, management and franchise fees remained essentially unchanged.

Taxes, insurance and lease expense decreased $4.4 million compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease relates primarily to: (i) a $3.6 million decrease in percentage rent, attributable to decreased revenue; (ii) an $832,000 decrease in property and general liability insurance, attributable to improved claims experience; and (iii) an $812,000 decrease in land leases, attributable to decreased revenue. The decrease in the period was partially offset by a $900,000 increase in real estate and other taxes, attributable to decreases in estimated accruals recorded in the third quarter of 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, taxes, insurance and lease expense increased from 10.7% to 11.0% compared to the same period in 2008.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.9 million, compared to the same period in 2008, which is attributable to increased depreciation due to the $142.9 million of consolidated hotel capital expenditures completed in 2008.

Impairment charge. In 2008 we identified eight hotels as candidates to be sold. We recorded impairment charges of $2.1 million for one of these hotels in the third quarter of 2009 and $36.7 million for two of these hotels in the third quarter of 2008.

Hurricane loss. In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded $1.7 million in hurricane-related expenses, all of which related to remediation at 14 of our hotels affected by four hurricanes in 2008.

Net interest expense increased $313,000 compared to the same period in 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to a $116 million increase in our average debt outstanding, which was partially offset by a 44 basis point decrease in the average interest rate applicable to our floating-rate debt.

Equity in income of unconsolidated entities was $488,000, compared to $2.8 million of equity in loss from unconsolidated entities from the third quarter of 2008. The 2008 loss included $3.8 million of impairment charges related to our equity method investments.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an $86.4 million net loss applicable to common stockholders, or $1.37 per share, compared to a $59.9 million net loss applicable to common stockholders, or $0.99 per share, for the same period in 2008. The increase in current year loss is attributable primarily to a 19.3% decrease in revenue compared to the same period in 2008. Despite the decrease in revenue, we were able to limit our margin loss in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months of 2008, primarily by reducing hotel labor costs by $31.9 million and reducing other costs associated with non-critical functions. Hotel expenses decreased 13.9% compared to first nine months of 2008. The current year loss includes impairment charges of $5.5 million ($3.4 million related to two consolidated hotels and $2.1 million related to an unconsolidated entity), while the prior year loss included a $53.8 million impairment charge on four consolidated hotels, hurricane-related losses of $1.7 million, and a $3.1 million gain related to involuntary conversions from the final settlement of 2005 hurricane claims.

In the first nine months of 2009:

Total revenue was $707.1 million, a 19.3% decrease compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in revenue is attributed principally to a 19.4% decrease in RevPAR, which was driven by a 9.2% decrease in occupancy and an 11.2% decrease in ADR.

Hotel departmental expenses decreased $41.6 million (14.3%) compared to the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 33.2% to 35.2% compared to the same period in 2008. This expense reduction reflects: (i) the 9.2% decrease in occupancy; (ii) a $21.9 million decrease in labor costs, which included permanent reductions related to a decrease in hotel employees; (iii) a decrease in non-critical room expenses, such as guest transportation, in-room amenities, bath linen quantities, and newspaper service; and (iv) menu modifications in food and beverage.

Other property related costs decreased $30.9 million (13.4%) compared to the same period in 2008, due to the decrease in revenues. As a percentage of total revenue, other property related costs increased from 26.3% to 28.2% compared to the same period in 2008. This expense reduction reflects: (i) a $10.0 million decrease in labor costs; (ii) a $8.5 million decrease in marketing assessments, credit card commissions and frequent guest expense (all of which reflect the decrease in revenue); (iii) a $5.2 million decrease in repairs and maintenance, partially attributable to our recently completed renovation program; and (iv) reductions in other non-critical expenses.

Management and franchise fees decreased $11.2 million compared to the same period in 2008. As a percent of total revenue, franchise fees and base management fees remained essentially unchanged from 2008 to 2009 (both fees are based on a percentage of revenue). Incentive management fees, which are based on the profitability of the hotels, decreased $3.6 million.

Taxes, insurance and lease expense decreased $12.5 million compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease relates primarily to: (i) a $10.6 million decrease in hotel lease expense, attributable to decreased revenue at our consolidated hotel lessees; (ii) a $1.8 million decrease in property and general liability insurance, attributable to improved insurance rates and liability claims experience; and (iii) a $1.8 million decrease in land leases, attributable to decreases in revenue. This was partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in real estate and other taxes, attributable to decreases in estimated accruals recorded in the first nine months of 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, taxes, insurance and lease expense increased from 10.0% to 10.7% compared to the same period in 2008.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.1 million, compared to the same period in 2008, which is attributable to increased depreciation due to the $142.9 million of consolidated hotel capital expenditures completed in 2008.

Impairment charge. In 2008, we identified eight hotels as candidates to be sold. We recorded impairment charges of $3.4 million for two of these hotels in the first nine months of 2009 and $53.8 million for two of these hotels in the first nine months of 2008.

Hurricane loss. In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded $1.7 million in hurricane-related expenses, all of which related to remediation at 14 of our hotels affected by four hurricanes in 2008.

Other expenses increased $649,000, compared to the same period in 2008, primarily due to $572,000 of severance expenses (from a reduction in the number of employees at our hotels) and lease termination costs of $469,000 associated with the termination of one of our third-party restaurant lessees, this was partially offset by a decrease in condominium management fee expenses.

Net interest expense decreased $6.4 million compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to a 104 basis point decrease in our average interest rate for our floating-rate debt, which was partially offset by a $96 million increase in our average debt outstanding.

Charges related to debt extinguishment. In the second quarter of 2009, we terminated our line of credit and wrote off deferred loan costs of $594,000 associated with this facility.

Equity in loss of unconsolidated entities was $3.2 million compared to $1.1 million of equity in loss from unconsolidated entities for the same period in 2008. We recorded impairment charges of $2.1 million and $3.8 million on our equity method investments in the first nine months of 2009 and the first nine months of 2008, respectively. The remainder of the change is attributable to decreases in current year revenue at our unconsolidated hotels.

Discontinued operations in 2008 consisted of a $1.2 million adjustment to gain on sales resulting from a revision in the tax liability associated with gains of $71.2 million from hotel sales in 2006 and 2007.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer in this report to certain “non-GAAP financial measures.” These measures, including Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, are measures of our financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Immediately following the reconciliations, we include a discussion of why we believe these measures are useful supplemental measures of our performance and the limitations of such measures.

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA Margin

Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are commonly used measures of performance in the hotel industry and give investors a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our individual hotels and operating managers have direct control. We believe that Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin are useful to investors by providing greater transparency with respect to two significant measures used by us in our financial and operational decision-making. Additionally, using these measures facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners. We present Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin by eliminating from continuing operations all revenues and expenses not directly associated with hotel operations including corporate-level expenses, depreciation and amortization and expenses related to our capital structure. We eliminate corporate-level costs and expenses because we believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information into the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of management on a property-level basis.

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

Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management and Board of Directors use Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of our hotels and to facilitate comparisons between us and other hotel owners, in evaluating hotel-level performance and the operating efficiency of our hotel managers.

The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin, as presented by us, may not be comparable to these measures as calculated by other companies. These measures do not reflect certain expenses that we incurred and will incur, such as depreciation and amortization, interest and capital expenditures. Management compensates for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, and our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures, and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margin reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

During 2009, hotel operations have provided most of the cash needed to meet our cash requirements including paying normal-course, capital expenditures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash provided by operating activities (primarily hotel operations), was $76.4 million, which reflects a $65.7 million decrease, compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to declining hotel revenues. At September 30, 2009, we had $128.1 million of cash on hand, including approximately $44.6 million held under management agreements to meet working capital needs.

The global recession has resulted in considerable negative pressure on travel spending. As a result, lodging demand continued to be weak in the third quarter and contributed to further reductions of our Consolidated Hotel RevPAR. As a result, we expect RevPAR in 2009 to decline by 18% to 18.5% compared to 2008, and we expect to generate approximately $76 to $78 million of cash from operating activities for 2009.

We are subject to increases in hotel operating expenses, including wage and benefit costs, repair and maintenance expenses, utilities and insurance expenses that can fluctuate disproportionately to revenues. Some of these operating expenses are difficult to predict and control, which lends volatility in our operating results. As a result of the current year decline in RevPAR and weak travel demand, we have implemented extensive cost containment initiatives at our hotels, including reducing headcount and improving productivity and energy efficiency. If RevPAR continues to decrease and/or Hotel EBITDA margins shrink, our operations, earnings and/or cash flow could be materially adversely affected.

Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash used in investing activities decreased $25.1 million, compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to reduced spending on hotel capital expenditures.

We made extensive capital investments in our hotels from 2006 to 2008, and now nearly all of our hotels are renovated. We expect to spend a normal amount of capital going forward to maintain the quality of our hotels. As a result, we have significantly curtailed capital spending in 2009. For 2009, we plan to complete approximately $84 million of capital improvements at our hotels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we spent approximately $62.5 million on capital improvements at our hotels (of which $33.8 million was spent on renovation and redevelopment projects).

Our liquidity-preservation efforts also extend to acquisitions and redevelopment projects. We have not acquired any hotels during 2008 or 2009 and do not expect to acquire any hotels during the remainder of this year. We have also postponed spending on redevelopment projects, other than to advance ongoing approval and entitlement processes.

In order to enhance long-term shareholder value, as part of our strategic plan (as in the past and as market conditions allow), we sell lower-growth hotels that no longer meet our investment criteria, thereby freeing our capital for redeployment (e.g., reduce overall leverage, acquire other hotels or invest in remaining FelCor properties). We currently have five Consolidated Hotels identified for sale, with respect to which in October 2009, we executed agreements to sell two. We expect to identify additional hotels for sale as the hotel transaction market improves. We will evaluate demand and supply trends for each hotel, portfolio concentration risk and future capital needs.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash provided by financing activities increased by $115.1 million compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to our new $201 million secured term loan. In October 2009, we issued $636 million in aggregate principal of our 10% senior secured notes due 2014. These notes are secured by a pledge of our limited partner interests in FelCor LP, first mortgages and related security interests on up to 14 hotels and pledges of equity interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries. We received approximately $558 million of net proceeds from sale of these notes after original issue discount and other fees and expenses related to the offering. The proceeds were used to repurchase approximately $427 million of our existing senior notes ($214 million of our floating-rate senior notes and $213 million of our 8½% senior notes) and for general corporate purposes. During 2009, we will pay $15 million in normally occurring principal payments, which have been and will be funded from operating cash flow and cash on hand.

We suspended payment of our common dividend in December 2008 and our preferred dividend in March 2009 (we paid approximately $10 million of preferred dividends in January 2009). We do not expect to make any further common or preferred dividend payments during 2009. Dividends are not paid unless declared by our Board of Directors; however, any unpaid preferred dividends continue to accrue, and accrued and current preferred dividends must be paid in full prior to reinstatement of our common dividend. Our Board of Directors will determine whether to declare future dividends based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition including the outcome of refinancing our 2010 and 2011 debt maturities and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.

We expect 2009 cash flow to be between $187 million and $189 million, after accounting for preferred dividends paid in January 2009, 2009 capital expenditures, repayment and termination of our line of credit, our $201 million secured term loan, the sale of our new senior notes, the repurchase of old notes, and after paying normally occurring principal payments.

Capital markets, and our access to financing on reasonably acceptable terms, have historically been affected by external events and circumstances, such as recessions, major bank failures, rising unemployment, shrinking GDP, acts of terrorism, etc. Events, or circumstances of similar magnitude or impact, could adversely affect the availability and cost of our capital going forward. In addition, if the current recession continues, our operating cash flow and the availability and cost of capital for our business will continue to be adversely affected.

Line of Credit. In June 2009, we repaid the $128 million balance under our line of credit, which was then terminated. By terminating our line of credit, we eliminated certain restrictive corporate debt covenants.

Mortgage Debt. At September 30, 2009, we had consolidated mortgage debt totaling $1.1 billion, secured by 53 of our hotels that had an aggregate net book value of $1.6 billion. In connection with the issuance of our new 10% senior notes in October 2009, we agreed to grant mortgages and related security interests encumbering 14 additional, previously unencumbered hotels. Except in the case of our new senior notes, our mortgage debt is recourse solely to the specific hotels securing the debt, except in the case of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse carve-out provisions. Much of our hotel mortgage debt allows us to substitute collateral under certain conditions. Most of our mortgage debt is prepayable, subject to various prepayment, yield maintenance or defeasance obligations.

Loans secured by certain of our hotels provide for lock-box arrangements under certain circumstances. We generally are permitted to retain an amount required to cover our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, insurance and capital expenditure reserves but the remaining revenues would flow through a lock-box if a specified debt service coverage ratio is not met. These hotels currently exceed the applicable minimum debt service coverage ratios; however, the lock-box provisions remain in place until the loans are repaid.

2009 Secured Financings.

In October 2009, we completed a private placement of $636 million of senior secured notes. The new senior secured notes bear a fixed interest rate of 10%, mature in October 2014, and are secured by a pledge of our limited partner interests in FelCor LP, first mortgages and related security interests on up to 14 hotels and pledges of equity interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries.

In June 2009, we obtained a $201 million non-recourse term loan secured by nine hotels. This loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 2% floor) plus 350 basis points, and initially matures in 2011, but can extended for as many as two years, subject to satisfying certain conditions that we expect to satisfy. The proceeds from this loan will be used for general corporate purposes.

In March 2009, we entered into a $120 million loan agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America secured by seven hotels. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay the balance of an existing loan secured by the same properties that would have matured on April 1, 2009. The new loan matures in 2014 and bears interest at 9.02%.

Maturing Debt. We have two non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate principal amount of $14 million (each secured by one hotel) that we allowed to go into default when they matured in June 2009. We have received term sheets from the special servicer to extend the maturity of these loans for two years, which we are currently evaluating.

We have also begun preliminary discussions with various lenders to modify and/or refinance all of our mortgage debt that is scheduled to mature in 2010. Two pools of non-recourse mortgage loans, with a combined current balance of $273 million and secured by 14 of our hotels (eight of which are not cross-collateralized), are scheduled to mature in May 2010. With regard to these two pools, we believe that extending the maturity dates is in the best interests of the lenders and FelCor. As a consequence, we intend to seek such extensions. In addition, we intend to discuss other loan modification options, as well as explore other refinancing opportunities and potential asset sales as a means of satisfying our obligations as they mature. There is no assurance that we will be successful in such negotiations or be able to obtain extensions or other modifications on acceptable terms.

Senior Notes. In October 2009, we issued $636 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10% senior secured notes due 2014. Our 10% senior notes require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and interest coverage tests in order to: (i) incur additional indebtedness except to refinance maturing debt with replacement debt, as defined under our indentures; (ii) pay dividends in excess of the minimum distributions required to meet the REIT qualification test; (iii) repurchase capital stock; or (iv) merge. We are in compliance with those tests. If we were unable to continue to satisfy the debt incurrence test under the indentures governing our 10% senior notes, we may be prohibited from, among other things, incurring any additional indebtedness, except under certain specific exceptions, or paying dividends on our preferred or common stock, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT qualification requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our taxable income. Our 10% senior notes are guaranteed by us, and payment of those obligations is currently secured by a pledge of the limited partner interests in FelCor LP owned by FelCor, a combination of first lien mortgages and related security interests on up to 14 hotels, and pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries of FelCor LP. In connection with the sale of our new senior notes, we amended the indentures governing both our floating-rate senior notes and 8½% senior notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, guarantees, collateral and certain events of default provisions.

Interest Rate Caps. To fulfill requirements under certain loans, we entered into interest rate cap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $427.2 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. These interest rate caps were not designated as hedges and had insignificant fair values at both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, resulting in no significant net earnings impact.

Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. Competition may, however, require us to reduce room rates in the near term and may limit our ability to raise room rates in the future. We are also subject to the risk that inflation will cause increases in hotel operating expenses disproportionately to revenues. If competition requires us to reduce room rates or limits our ability to raise room rates in the future, we may not be able to adjust our room rates to reflect the effects of inflation in full, in which case our operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected.

Seasonality

The lodging business is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues are greater in the second and third calendar quarters than in the first and fourth calendar quarters, although this may not be true for hotels in major tourist destinations. Revenues for hotels in tourist areas generally are substantially greater during tourist season than other times of the year. Seasonal variations in revenue at our hotels can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenues. Quarterly earnings also may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenues, we may utilize cash on hand or borrowings to satisfy our obligations.
