NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	Organization

FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, a Maryland corporation, operates 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 84 hotels with approximately 24,000 rooms at September 30, 2010 .

We lease all but one of our hotels to our taxable REIT subsidiaries (or TRS). These subsidiaries (our operating lessees) have engaged independent third-party management companies to manage the hotels.

Of the 84 hotels in which we had an ownership interest at September 30, 2010 , we owned a 100% interest in 65 hotels, a 90% interest in entities owning three 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 14 hotels. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 70 hotels in which we held greater than 50% ownership interests, and we record the real estate interests of the 14 hotels in which we held 50% ownership interests using the equity method.

At September 30, 2010 , 83 of the 84 hotels in which we had ownership interests were leased to operating lessees, and one 50%-owned hotel was operated without a lease. We held greater than 50% ownership interests and had direct or indirect controlling interests in the lessees of the hotels that were leased to operating lessees. Because we owned controlling interests in these lessees (including lessees of 13 of the 14 hotels in which we owned 50% of the real estate interests), we consolidated our lessee interests in these hotels (we refer to these 83 hotels as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect 100% of the hotels’ revenues and expenses, including lease expenses, on our statement of operations. Of our Consolidated Hotels, we owned 50% of the real estate interests in each of 13 hotels (we accounted for the ownership in our real estate interests of these hotels by the equity method) and more than 50% of the real estate interests in each of the remaining 70 hotels (we consolidate our real estate interest in these hotels).

At September 30, 2010 , we had 97,344,716 shares and units outstanding consisting of 97,049,756 shares of FelCor common stock and 294,960 FelCor LP limited partnership units not owned by FelCor.

The following table illustrates the distribution of our 83 Consolidated Hotels among our various brands at September 30, 2010 :


Brand	Hotels	Rooms
Embassy Suites Hotels ^®	46	11,911
Holiday Inn ^®	15	5,154
Sheraton ^® and Westin ^®	9	3,217
Doubletree ^® and Hilton ^®	9	2,030
Marriott ^® and Renaissance ^®	3	1,321
Fairmont ^®	1	383
Total	83	24,016

At September 30, 2010 , our Consolidated Hotels were located in the United States ( 81 hotels in 23 states) and Canada (two hotels in Toronto, Ontario), with concentrations in California (15 hotels), Florida (12 hotels) and Texas (11 hotels). Approximately 50% of our hotel room revenues were generated from hotels in these three states during the first nine months of 2010 .

1.	Organization — (continued)

At September 30, 2010 , of our 83 Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, managed 53 hotels, (ii) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed 15 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, (v) subsidiaries of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, or Fairmont, managed one hotel, and (vi) 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, 2010 and 2009 includes the results of operations for our Marriott-managed hotels for the thirty-six week period ending September 10, 2010 and September 11, 2009, respectively.

The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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, 2010 and 2009 , 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, 2009 , included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.


2.	Hotel Acquisition

In August 2010, we acquired the 383-room Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, Massachusetts. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were consistent with the purchase price and were allocated based on appraisals and valuation studies performed by management. We expensed $400,000 of acquisition costs (including broker, attorneys and accounting fees) that are not included in the fair value estimates of the net assets acquired. The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisition (in thousands):


Assets
Investment in hotels ^(a)	$	98,500
Accounts receivable	1,349
Other assets	898
Total assets acquired	100,747

Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities	3,234
Net assets acquired	$	97,513

(a) Investment in hotels was allocated to land ($27.6 million), building and improvements ($62.5 million) and furniture, fixtures and equipment ($8.4 million).

The following consolidated unaudited pro forma results of operations including that hotel for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 assume this acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009. The pro forma information includes revenues, operating expenses, depreciation and amortization. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations if the acquisition had been completed on the assumed date. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Earnings per share - basic and diluted	$	(1.04	)	$	(0.54	)	$	(2.13	)	$	(1.36	)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we have included $5.7 million of revenues and $1.3 million of net income in our consolidated statements of operations related to the operations of this hotel.

3. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

We owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned 14 hotels at September 30, 2010 and 15 hotels at December 31, 2009 . We also own a 50% interest in entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and provide condominium management services. 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.

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


	September 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
Balance sheet information:
Investment in hotels, net of accumulated depreciation	$	239,805	$	259,977

Total liabilities	$	161,647	$	220,389
Equity	$	103,714	$	59,222

Our unconsolidated entities’ debt at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted entirely of non-recourse mortgage debt.

In April 2010, we contributed $23 million to an unconsolidated joint venture owning Sheraton Tyson's Corner. That contribution, along with a $23 million contribution from our joint venture partner, was used to pay-off the joint venture's $46 million mortgage debt.

(a)	Net loss includes a $3.2 million impairment charge. The impairment was based on sales contracts for two hotels then owned by one of our joint ventures (a Level 2 input).

(b)

As a result of a 2009 impairment charge recorded by a joint venture, the net book value of the joint venture's assets no longer supported the recovery of our investment. Therefore, we recorded an additional 2009 impairment charge to reduce our investment in the joint venture to zero. In March 2010, the joint venture sold its remaining hotel asset for $3.7 million, with respect to which we received $559,000 in net proceeds.

4. Debt — (continued)

In June 2010, we repaid $177 million of secured debt scheduled to mature in 2012 for $130 million, plus accrued interest, representing a 27% discount to the principal balance. This allowed us to reduce our leverage substantially and unencumbered two hotels.

In May 2010, we entered into a new $212 million loan, secured by nine hotels, that matures in 2015. The new loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 3.0% floor) plus 5.1%. The proceeds were used to repay $210 million in loans that were secured by 11 hotels and scheduled to mature in May. The terms of this financing are significantly more favorable than the refinanced debt, and we unencumbered two previously mortgaged hotels.

On November 1, 2010, we incurred $29 million of new debt secured by two hotels. The loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 1% floor) plus 4.25% and is scheduled to mature in November 2011, with a one year extension option subject to certain conditions.

We reported $35.1 million and $24.0 million of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 , respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $104,000 and $229,000 and (ii) capitalized interest of $187,000 and $160,000 , respectively. We reported $107.7 million and $67.3 million of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 , respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $307,000 and $573,000 and (ii) capitalized interest of $471,000 and $567,000 , respectively.

5. Common Stock Offering

In June 2010, we completed a public offering of 31,625,000 shares of our common stock at $5.50 per share. The net proceeds from the offering were $166.3 million. These proceeds together with cash on hand were used to repay $177 million of secured debt for $130 million (a 27% discount to par) and fund our acquisition of the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston.

6. Hotel Operating Revenue, Departmental Expenses, and Other Property Operating Costs

Hotel operating revenue from continuing operations was comprised of the following (in thousands):

Total hotel operating revenue	$	241,944	$	222,260	$	713,937	$	682,016

Nearly 100% of our revenue in all periods presented was comprised of hotel operating revenue, which includes 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.

8. Impairment

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 the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recorded $65.8 million of impairment charges. These charges related to our third quarter 2010 decision to market and sell 14 hotels. Eight of these 14 hotels were impaired in light of the reduced estimated hold periods.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we determined that we would be unable to negotiate satisfactory modifications or reductions that make sense for our stockholders on loans secured by two hotels. Therefore, we recorded a $21.1 million impairment charge (of which $7.7 million is included in discontinued operations) in connection with our decision to transfer these hotels to the lenders in full satisfaction of the debt secured by these hotels. These hotels’ cash flows did not cover debt service, and we stopped funding shortfalls in December 2009. In September 2010, we transfered title of one hotel, and related net assets, with a combined net book value of $9.4 million to the lender in satisfaction of $17.6 million of debt. This resulted in an $8.2 million gain from extinguishment of debt. We will consider the other hotel as part of continuing operations until the hotel is transferred, and the debt satisfied, whereupon we expect to record approximately $7 million of additional gain on extinguishment of debt.

For our 2010 impairment charges, we estimated the hotels’ fair value by using estimated future cash flows, terminal values based on the projected cash flows and capitalization rates in the range of what is reported in industry publications for operationally similar assets and other available market information. The cash flows used for determining the fair values were discounted using market-based discounts generally used for operationally and geographically similar assets. The inputs used to determine the fair values of these hotels are classified as Level 3 under the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded $3.4 million of impairment charges related to two hotels sold in December 2009. These valuations were based on a third-party offer to purchase (a Level 2 input) at a price less than our previously estimated fair value.

We did not have any hotels held for sale at September 30, 2010 . We consider a sale to be probable within the next twelve months (for purposes of determining whether a hotel is held for sale) when a 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.

We may record additional impairment charges if operating results of individual hotels are materially different from our forecasts, the economy and lodging industry weakens, or we shorten our contemplated holding period for additional hotels.

In order to enhance long-term shareholder value, as part of our strategic plan (as in the past and as market conditions allow), we intend to 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 and invest in remaining FelCor properties). We regularly evaluate demand and supply trends for each hotel, portfolio concentration risk and future capital needs. We expect to market additional hotels for sale based on various factors and we will sell hotels only when we receive adequate pricing.

10. Loss Per Share — (continued)

Securities that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, because they would have been antidilutive for the periods presented, are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2010	2009	2010	2009
Series A convertible preferred shares	9,985	9,985	9,985	9,985

Series A preferred dividends that would be excluded from net loss attributable to FelCor common stockholders, if these Series A preferred shares were dilutive, were $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 , and $18.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 .

11. Suspension of Dividends

We suspended payment of our common dividend in December 2008 and our preferred dividend in March 2009 (we paid $9.7 million of preferred dividends in January 2009). Our ability to pay cash dividends in excess of the minimum REIT distribution requirements is limited by the indenture governing our senior secured notes whenever we fail to meet a defined financial ratio threshold. We currently do not meet an interest coverage test; consequently, we do not expect to pay any common or preferred cash dividends during 2010 . 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 and when to declare future dividends (once we meet the financial ratio threshold and are no longer prohibited) based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition including the outcome of refinancing debt maturities and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements. We had accrued $66.6 million and $37.6 million in dividends payable on our Series A and Series C preferred stock at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 , respectively.

12. 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, 2010 , approximately $1.4 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 calculated based on the 294,960 partnership units held by third parties, valued at the September 30, 2010 closing price for our common stock ($4.60/share), which we have assumed would be equal to the value provided to outside partners upon liquidation of FelCor LP on that date.

13. 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, 2010 . 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.

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 $1.7 billion at September 30, 2010 ).

14. Recently Adopted 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 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2010, and accordingly, we have reevaluated our interests in our entities to determine that the entities are reflected properly in the financial statements as investments or consolidated entities. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that we do not have any variable interest entities that are impacted by this new accounting standard.


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

General

Hotel occupancies hit historic lows in 2009, but we began seeing improvement in occupancies at our hotels in late 2009. Hotel occupancy continued to improve through third quarter 2010 based on higher demand and moderating supply growth. As occupancies improved and corporate travel demand increased late in second quarter 2010, we began seeing sustained average daily rate, or ADR, improvement. This improvement reflected the first increase since September 2008. We expect a positive imbalance between supply growth and demand growth to continue providing further ADR improvements and stronger margin growth in future periods.

In the third quarter 2010, our same-store revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 6.3%, compared to the same period in 2009. Our same-store occupancy increased by 4.2%, and ADR increased by 2.1% compared to the same period in 2009. Increased ADR contributed to improved hotel margins in the quarter, compared to the same period in 2009.

In the first nine months of 2010 , our RevPAR increased 3.8% , compared to the first nine months of 2009 . Compared to the same period in 2009, our occupancy increased by 6.5% , which was offset by a 2.5% ADR decrease. Our portfolio is trending above 2008 occupancy levels but continues to lag in ADR. The combination of increased occupancy and lower ADR compresses hotel margins, because our hotels have more guests who are paying less. We continue to work closely with our brand-managers on extensive cost containment initiatives to minimize margin erosion at our hotels. Many of our hotels have been able to reduce labor costs permanently, and all of our hotels have trimmed non-critical functions. To this end, while overall costs have increased because of increased occupancy, our hotels have been able to limit loss in margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, to 39 basis points, compared to the same period last year.

In June 2010, we completed a public offering of 31,625,000 shares of our common stock at $5.50 per share. The net proceeds from the offering, after underwriting discounts and commissions, were approximately $166 million. These proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to repay $177 million of secured debt for $130 million (a 27% discount to par) and fund our $98.5 million acquisition of the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, in August 2010.

In May 2010, we obtained a new $212 million loan, secured by nine hotels, that matures in 2015. The new loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 3.0% floor) plus 5.1%. The proceeds were used to repay $210 million in loans that were secured by 11 hotels and scheduled to mature in May 2010. The terms of this financing are significantly more favorable than the refinanced debt, and we unencumbered two previously mortgaged hotels. Two other loans (totaling $32 million) also matured in May 2010. The cash flows for the hotels that secure those loans do not cover debt service, and we stopped funding the shortfalls in December 2009. We have been unable to negotiate an acceptable debt modification or reduction that made sense for our stockholders, with regard to these loans. We transferred one hotel to the lender in full satisfaction of the debt on September 30, 2010 and are in the process of transferring the remaining hotel to the lender in full satisfaction of the debt.

With these transactions, we have resolved all of our significant debt maturities until the end of 2011.

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 senior notes currently restrict us from paying any dividends so long as we remain below certain financial ratio thresholds, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement. Our Board of Directors will determine whether and when to declare future dividends (once we meet the financial ratio threshold and are no longer prohibited) 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, 2010 and 2009

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 , we recorded $98.5 million , or $1.04 per share, of net loss attributable to common stockholders, compared to $34.8 million , or $0.55 per share, of net loss attributable to common stockholders for the same period in 2009 . A $65.8 million impairment loss was the most significant item contributing to the increased loss compared to 2009 .

In the third quarter of 2010 :


•	Total revenue was $243.4 million , an increase of $19.8 million, or 8.9% , compared to the same period in 2009 . The increase in revenue is attributed principally to a 6.3% increase in same-store RevPAR, which reflects a 4.2% increase in occupancy and a 2.1% increase in ADR. The hotel acquired in August 2010 contributed $5.7 million to the increase.

•

Hotel departmental expenses increased $6.2 million compared to the same period in 2009 due to higher occupancies and $2.4 million of hotel departmental expenses from the hotel acquired in August 2010. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses decreased from 36.1% to 35.7%, compared to the same period in 2009 . The improvement as a percentage of revenue was achieved by holding hotel departmental expenses per occupied room flat to prior year while increasing ADR.


•	Other property related costs increased $6.1 million due to higher occupancies and $1.2 million of other property related costs from the hotel acquired in August 2010. As a percentage of total revenue, they remained essentially flat compared to the same period in 2009 .


•	Management and franchise fees increased $570,000 , compared to the same period in 2009 due to higher revenues (which serve as the basis for determining such fees) and $170,000 of management and franchise fees from the hotel acquired in August 2010. As a percent of total revenue, management and franchise fees remained essentially unchanged.


•	Taxes, insurance and lease expense increased $1.6 million , compared to the same period in 2009 . This increase includes $392,000 from the hotel acquired in August 2010 and is essentially flat compared to the same period in 2009 as a percent of total revenue.


•	Corporate expenses increased $2.1 million and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 2.0% to 2.7% . This principally reflects increased corporate bonus accruals that resulted from stronger than anticipated performance in 2010 compared to modest 2009 bonuses.

•

We recorded a $65.8 million impairment loss in the third quarter of 2010. These charges relate to our third quarter 2010 decision to market and sell 14 hotels. Eight of the 14 hotels were impaired in light of the reduced estimated hold periods. For our 2010 impairment charges, we estimated the hotels’ fair value by using estimated future cash flows, terminal values based on the projected cash flows and capitalization rates in the range of what is reported in industry publications for operationally similar assets and other available market information. The cash flows used for determining the fair values were discounted using market-based discounts generally used for operationally and geographically similar assets.


•	Net interest expense increased $11.1 million , compared to the same period in 2009 . This increase primarily reflects additional interest from our senior secured notes issued in October 2009.


•	Discontinued operations reflects two hotels sold in December 2009 and one hotel transferred to a lender in satisfaction of debt in September 2010. We recorded an $8.3 million gain from debt extinguishment related to the hotel disposed of in September 2010. We recorded a $2.1 million impairment charge in the third quarter of 2009 with respect to one of the hotels sold in December 2009.

Comparison of the Nine Months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 , we recorded $158.6 million , or $2.11 per share of net loss attributable to common stockholders, compared to $86.4 million , or $1.37 per share of net loss attributable to common stockholders for the same period in 2009 . A $79.2 million impairment loss was the most significant item contributing to the increase in net loss compared to 2009.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 :


•	Total revenue was $716.7 million , an increase of $32.2 million, or 4.7% , compared to the same period in 2009 . The increase in revenue is attributed principally to a 3.8% increase in same-store RevPAR, which reflects a 6.5% increase in occupancy and a 2.5% decrease in ADR. The hotel acquired in August 2010 contributed $5.7 million to the increase.

•

Hotel departmental expenses increased $14.2 million , compared to the same period in 2009 due to increased occupancies and $2.4 million of hotel departmental expenses from the hotel acquired in August 2010. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel departmental expenses increased from 35.1% to 35.5% , compared to the same period in 2009 . This increase in expense as a percentage of revenue reflects costs associated with increased occupancy in the face of decreasing ADR.


•	Other property related costs increased $9.7 million due to increased occupancies and $1.2 million of other property related costs from the hotel acquired in August 2010. As a percentage of total revenue they remained unchanged compared to the same period in 2009 .


•	Management and franchise fees increased $806,000 , compared to the same period in 2009 due to higher revenues (which serve as the basis for determining such fees) and $170,000 of management and franchise fees from the hotel acquired in August 2010. As a percent of total revenue, management and franchise fees remained essentially unchanged.


•	Taxes, insurance and lease expense increased $3.7 million , compared to the same period in 2009. This increase includes $392,000 from the hotel acquired in August 2010 and is essentially flat compared to the same period in 2009 as a percent of total revenue.

•

Corporate expenses increased $7.1 million and increased as a percentage of total revenue from 2.3% to 3.2% . This increase primarily reflects a temporary change in how our long term compensation program is implemented and increased corporate bonus accruals. Because of the impact of the recession on the trading price of our common stock, our Board of Directors determined that issuing restricted stock at exceptionally low trading prices would be unduly dilutive to our stockholders. In lieu of issuing restricted stock, restricted cash, with which employees could purchase stock, was granted. Because those grants were subject to payroll tax withholding, amounts withheld were recognized as an expense in the first quarter of 2010, rather than expensed over the normal three-year vesting period. Another contributing factor is an increase in corporate bonus accruals that resulted from stronger than anticipated performance in 2010 compared to modest 2009 bonuses.


•	Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.8 million compared to the same period in 2009 , which reflects increased depreciation related to hotel capital expenditures completed in 2009 .

•

We recorded a $65.8 million impairment loss in the third quarter of 2010. These charges relate to our third quarter decision to market and sell 14 hotels. Eight of the 14 hotels were impaired in light of the reduced estimated hold periods. In addition, during the first quarter of 2010, we determined that we would be unable to negotiate satisfactory modifications or reductions on loans secured by two hotels that make sense for our stockholders. The disposition of one of these hotels was completed in September 2010, and that hotel is now included in discontinued operations. We recorded a $13.4 million impairment charge in connection with our decision to transfer the remaining hotel to the lender in full satisfaction of the debt

secured by that hotel. For our 2010 impairment charges, we estimated the hotels’ fair value by using estimated future cash flows, terminal values based on the projected cash flows and capitalization rates in the range of what is reported in industry publications for operationally similar assets and other available market information. The cash flows used for determining the fair values were discounted using market-based discounts generally used for operationally and geographically similar assets.


•	Other expenses decreased $793,000 compared to the same period in 2009 , primarily due to the following non-recurring expenses incurred in 2009 : hotel-level severance expenses, restaurant lease termination costs and brand conversion costs in 2009 at the San Francisco Marriott Union Square.


•	Net interest expense increased $40.4 million compared to the same period in 2009 . This increase primarily reflects additional interest from our $636 million senior secured notes issued in October 2009.


•	During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 , we repaid $177 million of mortgage debt secured by two hotels, for $130 million and recorded a related $46.1 million gain on extinguishment of debt.

•

Discontinued operations reflects two hotels sold in December 2009 and one hotel transferred to a lender in satisfaction of debt in September 2010. We recorded a $7.7 million impairment charge and an $8.2 million gain from debt extinguishment related to a hotel disposed of in September 2010. We recorded a $3.4 million impairment charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 with respect to the hotels sold in December 2009.

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.

The following tables detail our computation of Hotel EBITDA, Hotel EBITDA margin, hotel operating expenses and the reconciliation of hotel operating expenses to total operating expenses with respect to our Consolidated Hotels at the dates presented.

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 but not limited to corporate-level expenses; impairment losses; gains or losses on disposition of assets; and gains and losses related to extinguishment of debt. 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 exclude the effect of impairment losses, gains or losses on disposition of assets, and gains or losses related to extinguishment of debt because we believe that including these is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our remaining 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. Hotel EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA margins are presented on a same-store basis.

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. We strongly encourage 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 the first nine months of 2010, cash provided by operating activities (primarily hotel operations) was $68.1 million , which reflects an $8.3 million decrease from the same period in 2009 . This decrease is due primarily to an increase in interest paid (largely reflecting higher average interest rates) and to a lesser extent by an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities. At September 30, 2010 , we had $192.5 million of cash, including approximately $41.6 million held under management agreements to meet working capital needs.

Travel spending fell sharply during the global recession, which resulted in weak lodging demand in 2009 . This adversely affected our Consolidated Hotels' RevPAR. Demand began to improve in late 2009, which resulted in improved occupancy for the first nine months of 2010 . However, we did not experience sustained improvement in ADR until third quarter 2010. We expect our 2010 RevPAR will increase from 3.75% to 4.5% compared to 2009 , which assumes continued occupancy and ADR growth in the fourth quarter. We expect $44 million to $48 million of 2010 cash from operating activities.

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 to our operating results. We have implemented extensive cost containment initiatives at our hotels, including reducing headcount and improving productivity and energy efficiency. If RevPAR decreases and/or Hotel EBITDA margins shrink, our operations, earnings and/or cash flow could be materially adversely affected.

Investing Activities

During the first nine months of 2010 , cash used in investing activities increased $92.6 million , compared to the same period in 2009 , due primarily to our purchase of the Fairmont Copley Plaza and increased contributions to unconsolidated ventures (we contributed $23 million to repay our share of a joint venture’s mortgage debt), which increases were partially offset by lower spending on hotel capital expenditures. We made extensive capital investments in our hotels from 2006 to 2008, and all of our hotels have been renovated. As a result, we were able to limit capital spending significantly in 2009 . In the first nine months of 2010 , we completed approximately $27.8 million of capital improvements at our hotels, and we expect to spend approximately $42 million of capital in 2010 .

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we decided to market and sell 14 hotels. We recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $65.8 million relating to eight of these hotels.

Financing Activities

During the first nine months of 2010 , cash provided by financing activities decreased by $46.7 million compared to the same period in 2009 , due primarily to first quarter 2009 funds borrowed under our since terminated line of credit, partially offset by proceeds from our June 2010 public common stock offering. We expect to pay approximately $12 million in normally occurring principal payments in 2010 , which payments 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 $9.7 million of preferred dividends in January 2009). Our ability to pay cash dividends in excess of the minimum REIT distribution requirements is limited by the indenture governing our senior secured notes whenever we fail to meet a defined financial ratio threshold, as in the current circumstances; consequently, we do not expect to pay any common or preferred cash dividends during 2010 . 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 and when to declare future dividends (once we meet the financial ratio threshold and are no longer prohibited) based upon various factors, including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition including the outcome of refinancing debt maturities and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.

Common Stock Offering. In June 2010, we completed a public offering of 31,625,000 shares of our common stock at $5.50 per share. The net proceeds from the offering, after underwriting discounts and commissions, were approximately $166 million. These proceeds together with cash on hand were used to repay $177 million of secured debt for $130 million (a 27% discount to par) and fund our $98.5 million acquisition of the Fairmont Copley Plaza.

Secured Debt . At September 30, 2010 , we had a total of $ 1.6 billion of consolidated secured debt with 60 encumbered consolidated hotels with a $1.6 billion aggregate net book value (including 14 hotels that are collateral for our senior secured notes).

In May 2010, we obtained a new five-year loan for approximately $212 million secured by nine hotels. The loan proceeds were used to repay $210 million in loans scheduled to mature in May 2010, secured by 11 hotels (including the nine hotels securing the new loan). The new loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 3% floor) plus 5.10%. The terms of this new financing are significantly more favorable than the refinanced debt, and we unencumbered two previously mortgaged hotels. In February 2010, we extended the maturity of a loan secured by one hotel from May 2010 to May 2013. Two other loans (totaling $32 million) matured in May 2010. The cash flows for the hotels that secured those loans did not cover debt service, and we stopped funding the shortfalls in December 2009. We have been unable to negotiate an acceptable debt modification or reduction that made sense for our stockholders with regard to these loans. We transferred one hotel to the lender in full satisfaction of the debt on September 30, 2010 and are in the process of transferring the remaining hotel to the lender in full satisfaction of the debt.

With these transactions, we have resolved all of our significant debt maturities until the end of 2011.

On November 1, 2010, we incurred $29 million of new debt, secured by two hotels. The loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 1% floor) plus 4.25% and is scheduled to mature in November 2011, with a one year extension option subject to certain conditions.

Except in the case of our senior secured notes, our mortgage debt is generally recourse solely to the specific hotels securing the debt except in case of fraud, misapplication of funds and certain other limited recourse carve-out provisions, which could extend recourse to us. Much of our secured debt allows us to substitute collateral under certain conditions and is prepayable, subject to various prepayment, yield maintenance or defeasance obligations.

Most of our secured debt includes lock-box arrangements under certain circumstances. We are permitted to spend an amount required to cover our budgeted hotel operating expenses, taxes, debt service, insurance and capital expenditure reserves even if revenues are flowing through a lock-box in cases where a specified debt service coverage ratio is not met. With the exception of one hotel, all of our consolidated loans subject to lock-box provisions currently exceed the applicable minimum debt service coverage ratios.

Senior Notes. In October 2009, we issued $636 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10% senior secured notes due 2014. These 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 currently prohibited from 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. These notes are guaranteed by us, and payment of those obligations is 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 and/or negative pledges on up to 14 hotels, and pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries of FelCor LP. In addition, we redeemed all of our floating-rate senior notes and all but $87 million of our 8½% senior notes and amended the indenture governing the latter 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 $639.2 million at September 30, 2010 and $427.2 million at December 31, 2009 . These interest rate caps were not designated as hedges and had insignificant fair values at both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 , 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.

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION


Item 3.	Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

In March 2009, we suspended payment of dividends on our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and our 8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”). The aggregate quarterly Series A Preferred and Series C Preferred dividends are $6.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the aggregate Series A Preferred and Series C Preferred dividends in arrears are $43.9 million and $22.7 million, respectively.

Except to the extent required to satisfy minimum REIT distribution requirements, we are restricted by the indenture governing our senior secured notes from making any cash distributions on our common and preferred stock. We are currently below the minimum thresholds set forth in the indenture for which discretionary cash distributions are permitted.
