Highlight of Business Operations:

Revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, increased $1.1 million or 5.5%. Of the variance, $0.4 million was due to the purchase of a Hilton Garden Inn during the second quarter of 2012, with the remainder of the increase primarily due to the increase in average daily rate (ADR) for the same store portfolio. We refer to our entire portfolio as select service hotels which we further describe as upscale hotels, upper midscale hotels, midscale hotels, economy hotels and extended stay hotels. The same store portfolio used for comparison of the second quarter of 2012 over the same period of 2011 consists of the 74 hotels in continuing operations that were owned by the Company as of April 1, 2011. Compared to the year ago period, ADR for the entire 74 same store hotel portfolio increased 3.1% to $52.54 and revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased 3.9% to $35.69. The occupancy for all same store hotels for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased 0.7% from that of the year ago period. Our 21 upper midscale hotels reflected an ADR increase of 2.5% to $72.99, an increase in occupancy of 2.4%, and a RevPAR increase of 4.9% to $51.95. Our six same store midscale hotels reflected an ADR increase of 2.0% to $64.83, an increase in occupancy of 18.9% and a RevPAR increase of 21.3% to $36.68 for the second quarter of 2012 over the same period of 2011.

Occupancy for the seven same store extended stay properties dropped 1.9%, and RevPAR was up 2.0% to $17.72. ADR increased 4.0% to $24.71.

The income tax expense from continuing operations is related to the taxable income from our taxable subsidiary, the TRS Lessee. Management believes the combined federal and state income tax rate for the TRS Lessee will be approximately 38%. The tax expense is a result of TRS Lessees income for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The income tax will vary based on the taxable earnings or loss of the TRS Lessee.
