PART I
Item 1. Business
      When we use the terms Lodgian, “we,” “our,” and “us,” we mean Lodgian, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Our Company
      We are one of the largest independent owners and operators of full-service hotels in the United States in terms of our number of guest rooms, as reported by Hotel Business in the 2006 Green Book issue published in December 2005. We are considered an independent owner and operator because we do not operate our hotels under our own name. We operate substantially all of our hotels under nationally recognized brands, such as “Crowne Plaza,” “Hilton,” “Holiday Inn,” and “Marriott.” As of March 1, 2006, we operated 75 hotels with an aggregate of 13,468 rooms, located in 28 states and Canada. Of the 75 hotels we operated as of March 1, 2006, 67 hotels, with an aggregate of 12,144 rooms, are part of our continuing operations, while eight hotels, with an aggregate of 1,324 rooms, are held for sale. Five of the eight hotels with an aggregate of 868 rooms were identified for sale in the first two months of 2006. Our current portfolio of 75 hotels, all of which we consolidate in our financial statements, consists of:
  •  71 hotels that we wholly own and operate through subsidiaries; and
 
  •  four hotels that we operate in joint ventures in which we have a 50% or greater equity interest and exercise control.
      Our hotels are primarily full-service properties that offer food and beverage services, meeting space and banquet facilities and compete in the midscale and upscale market segments of the lodging industry. We operate all but two of our hotels under franchises obtained from nationally recognized hospitality franchisors. We operate 46 of our hotels under franchises obtained from InterContinental Hotels Group as franchisor of the Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Select and Holiday Inn Express brands. We operate 16 of our hotels under franchises from Marriott International as franchisor of the Marriott, Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, and SpringHill Suites by Marriott brands. We operate another 11 hotels under other nationally recognized brands and two hotels are non-branded. We believe that franchising under strong national brands affords us many benefits such as guest loyalty and market share premiums.
      Our management consists of an experienced team of professionals with extensive lodging industry experience led by our president and chief executive officer, Edward J. Rohling, who has been in the lodging industry for over twenty-three years. Our vice president of hotel operations has been in the hospitality industry for over twenty years and our vice president of sales and marketing has twenty years of industry experience.
Our Operations
      Our operations team is responsible for the management of our properties. Our vice president of hotel operations is responsible for the supervision of our general managers, who oversee the day-to-day operations of our hotels. Our corporate office is located in Atlanta, Georgia. The centralized management services provided by our corporate office include sales and marketing, purchasing, finance and accounting, information technology, renovations, human resources, legal services, and quality programs.
      Our corporate finance and accounting team coordinates the financial and accounting functions of our business. These functions include internal audit, insurance, payroll and accounts payable processing, tax and property accounting services. The corporate operations team oversees the budgeting and forecasting for our hotels and also identifies new systems and procedures to employ within our hotels to improve efficiency and profitability. The corporate sales and marketing team coordinates the sales forces for our hotels, designs sales training programs, tracks future business under contract and identifies, employs and monitors marketing programs aimed at specific target markets. The corporate renovations team handles the interior design of all our hotels. Each hotel’s product quality and the refurbishment of existing properties are also managed from

our corporate headquarters. The legal team coordinates all contract reviews and provides the hotels with legal support as needed.
      Our information technology team maintains our computer systems, which provide real-time tracking of each hotel’s daily occupancy, average daily rate (“ADR”), room, food, beverage and other revenues, revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) and all hotel expenses. By having current information available, we are better able to respond to changes in each market by focusing sales efforts and we are able to make appropriate adjustments to control expenses and maximize profitability as new current information becomes available.
      Creating cost and guest service efficiencies in each hotel is a top priority. With a total of 75 hotels in our portfolio as of March 1, 2006, our purchasing team is able to realize significant cost savings due to economies of scale and is able to secure volume pricing from our vendors that may not be available to smaller hotel companies.
Corporate History
      Lodgian, Inc. was formed as a new parent company in a merger of Servico, Inc. and Impac Hotel Group, LLC in December 1998. Servico was incorporated in Delaware in 1956 and was an owner and operator of hotels under a series of different entities. Impac was a private hotel ownership, management and development company organized in Georgia in 1997 through a reorganization of predecessor entities. After the effective date of the merger, our portfolio consisted of 142 hotels.
      Between December 1998 and the end of 2001, a number of factors, including our heavy debt load, lack of available funds to maintain the quality of our hotels, a weakening U.S. economy, and the severe decline in travel in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, combined to place adverse pressure on our cash flow and liquidity. As a result, on December 20, 2001, Lodgian and substantially all of our subsidiaries that owned hotels filed for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. At the time of the Chapter 11 filing, our portfolio consisted of 106 hotels. Following the effective date of our reorganization, we emerged from Chapter 11 with 97 hotels after eight of our hotels were conveyed to a lender in satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and one hotel was returned to the lessor of a capital lease of the property. Of the 97 hotels, 78 hotels emerged from Chapter 11 on November 25, 2002, 18 hotels emerged from Chapter 11 on May 22, 2003 and one property never filed under Chapter 11. Effective November 22, 2002, the Company adopted fresh start reporting. As a result, all assets and liabilities were restated to reflect their estimated fair values at that time.
      In 2003, we implemented a portfolio improvement strategy to upgrade our hotel assets and reduce debt costs that included the identification of 19 hotels, our only office building and three land parcels as held for sale. In 2003, we sold one hotel and the office building. During 2004, we sold 11 hotels and two land parcels and acquired one hotel in December 2004, the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Pinehurst, North Carolina. In 2005, we sold eight hotels and identified five additional hotels as held for sale. One hotel previously identified as held for sale was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 as management no longer expected the hotel to be sold within one year. This reclassification was required based on generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). One minority-owned hotel, which was accounted for using the equity method of accounting, was transferred to a receiver on November 15, 2005 and, on February 3, 2006, the hotel was deeded to the lender. Two hotels, located in Manhattan and Lawrence, Kansas, were transferred to the bond trustee (“Trustee”) on January 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement entered into in August 2005. Between January 1, 2006 and March 1, 2006, we identified five additional hotels as held for sale. Thus, at March 1, 2006, our continuing operations portfolio consisted of 67 hotels and our discontinued operations portfolio consisted of eight hotels and one land parcel.
      Our business is conducted in one reportable segment, which is the hospitality segment. During 2005, we derived approximately 98% of our revenues from hotels located within the United States and the balance from our one hotel located in Windsor, Canada.

Franchise Affiliations
      We operate substantially all of our hotels under nationally recognized brands. In addition to benefits in terms of guest loyalty and market share premiums, our hotels benefit from franchisors’ central reservation systems, their global distribution systems and their brand Internet booking sites. Reservations made by means of these franchisor facilities generally accounted for approximately 39% of our total reservations in 2005.
      We enter into franchise agreements, generally for terms of between 5 and 20 years, with hotel franchisors. The franchise agreements typically authorize us to operate the hotel under the franchise name, at a specific location or within a specified area, and require that we operate the hotel in accordance with the standards specified by the franchisor. As part of our franchise agreements, we are generally required to pay a royalty fee, an advertising/marketing fee, a fee for the use of the franchisor’s nationwide reservation system and certain other ancillary charges. Royalty fees range from 2.7% to 6.0% of gross room revenues, advertising/marketing fees range from 0.9% to 4.0%, reservation system fees range from 0% to 2.3%, and club and restaurant fees from 0.2% to 4.9%. In the aggregate, royalty fees, advertising/marketing fees, reservation fees and other ancillary fees for the various brands under which we operate our hotels range from 5.2% to 11.9% of gross room revenues. In 2005, franchise fees for our continuing operations were 9.2% of room revenues.
      Set forth below is a summary of our franchise affiliations as of March 1, 2006, along with the brands associated with each hotel and number of hotels and rooms represented by each franchisor, in continuing operations and discontinued operations:

      During 2004, we entered into new franchise agreements for all 15 of our Marriott-branded hotels owned at that time and we agreed to pay a fee aggregating approximately $0.5 million, of which $0.1 million has been paid, and $0.4 million is payable in 2007, subject to offsets.
      During the term of our franchise agreements, the franchisors may require us to upgrade facilities to comply with their current standards. Our current franchise agreements terminate at various times and have differing remaining terms. As franchise agreements expire, we may apply for a franchise renewal. In connection with a renewal, a franchisor may require payment of a renewal fee, increased royalty and other recurring fees and substantial renovation of the facility, or the franchisor may elect at its sole discretion, not to renew the franchise.
      If we do not comply with the terms of a franchise agreement, following a notice and an opportunity to cure, the franchisor has the right to terminate the agreement, which could lead to a default and acceleration under one or more of our loan agreements, which would materially and adversely affect us. In the past, we have been able to cure most cases of non-compliance and most defaults within the cure periods. If we perform an economic analysis of a hotel and determine it is not economically justifiable to comply with a franchisor’s requirements, we will either select an alternative franchisor, or operate the hotel without a franchise affiliation or sell the hotel. Generally, under the terms of our loan agreements, we are not permitted to operate hotels without an approved franchise affiliation. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.”
      As of March 1, 2006, we have been notified that we were not in compliance with some of the terms of eight of our franchise agreements and have received default and termination notices from franchisors with respect to an additional seven hotels summarized as follows:
  •  Six hotels are held for sale. Two of these hotels are in default of their respective franchise agreement for failure to complete their Property Improvement Plan (“PIP”). Four additional hotels are in default or in non-compliance of their respective franchise agreements for not maintaining required guest satisfaction scores. Each of these hotels requires a significant capital investment for which we do not anticipate a sufficient return on our investment. We have entered into a forbearance agreement with the franchisor regarding one of these hotels that is in default which will maintain the flag until the earlier of March 31, 2006 or until we sell the hotel. We plan to enter into a voluntary termination agreement with the franchisor regarding two of these hotels which will maintain the flag until the earlier of June 30, 2006 or until we sell the hotels.
 
  •  One hotel was held for sale but was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 as management no longer expected to have the hotel sold within one year due to issues related to the transfer of the ground lease to a prospective buyer. This hotel is in default of its franchise agreement for not maintaining required guest satisfaction scores and has a license termination date of February 14, 2006. We may be subject to liquidated damages. We have entered into a letter of intent to sell this hotel to a joint venture in which we will be a minority owner. However, we will no longer continue to operate the hotel.
 
  •  One hotel has received an extension to its default termination date until August 15, 2006. The franchisor has verbally agreed to our planned renovations of two floors of guestrooms and guestroom

4


Table of Contents

  corridors. This work began on January 9, 2006 and will take approximately 90 days to complete. We anticipate the renovations will assist us in improving the quest product scores.
 
  •  Seven hotels are in default or non-compliance of their respective franchise agreement because of substandard guest satisfaction or quality scores. Three of these hotels are trending above the required thresholds, however, they must remain above that threshold for two consecutive years to earn a “clean slate” letter. We anticipate these three hotels will earn their “clean slate” letters in August 2006, August 2007 and February 2008, respectively. Two of these hotels are awaiting follow-up quality inspections by the franchisor to cure the non-compliance issues. Two of these hotels have entered into the non-compliance status due to a new measurement process implemented in January 2006 by the franchisor. One of these hotels in non-compliance recently received an up-branding renovation. The scores used to determine this non-compliance were done before the pre-renovation and we anticipate curing this non-compliance as the new scores begin to cycle in. Our corporate operations team, as well as each property’s general manager and associates, have focused their efforts to cure these failures through enhanced service, increased cleanliness, and product improvements by the required cure date. If we do not achieve scores above required thresholds by the designated date, the hotel would be subject to default of its franchise agreement. Each hotel would receive another opportunity to improve its score before the hotel would be at the risk of having its franchise agreement terminated.

      We believe that we will cure the non-compliance and defaults as to which our franchisors have given us notice before the applicable termination dates, but we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to complete our action plans (which we estimate will cost approximately $5.4 million) to cure the alleged defaults of noncompliance and default prior to the specified termination dates or be granted additional time in which to cure any defaults or noncompliance. If a franchise agreement is terminated, we will either select an alternative franchisor, operate the hotel independently of any franchisor or sell the hotel. However, terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a hotel could require us to incur significant expenses, including franchise termination payments and capital expenditures, and in certain circumstances could lead to acceleration of parts of our indebtedness. This could adversely affect us.
      In addition, as part of our bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, we entered into stipulations with each of our major franchisors setting forth a timeline for completion of capital expenditures for some of our hotels. However, as of March 1, 2006, we have not completed the required capital expenditure for eight continuing operations hotels in accordance with the stipulations, and we estimate the cost of complying with these stipulations to be $3.3 million. As of March 1, 2006, approximately $2.0 million is deposited in escrow with the Company’s lenders to be applied to these capital expenditure obligations, pursuant to the terms of the respective loan agreements with these lenders. A franchisor could, nonetheless, seek to declare its franchise agreement in default of the stipulations and could seek to terminate the franchise agreement. We have scheduled or have begun renovations on eight of these hotels, aggregating $1.4 million of the $3.3 million.
      In addition, our loan agreements generally prohibit a hotel from operating without a national franchise affiliation, and the loss of such an affiliation could trigger a default under one or more such agreements. The 15 hotels that are in default or non-compliance under their respective franchise agreements are part of the collateral security for an aggregate of $265.3 million of mortgage debt as of March 1, 2006.
Sales and Marketing
      We market our hotels through local and national marketing programs. In all of our hotels, we execute local marketing strategies using our corporate and local sales and marketing resources to drive revenue growth. All of our franchised properties participate in national marketing programs that our brand partners develop and promote. The mandatory participation in these brand marketing programs is supported through our regional revenue teams who ensure each property’s program enrollment. The regional revenue team supports each property by working with the property director of sales to evaluate the results of our local and national marketing strategies. Although we develop annual marketing plans to define our long term objectives, we make periodic modifications to these plans in order to address changes in local market conditions. At most of our properties we maintain a sales organization which is structured based on market demand, customer needs

Table of Contents

and local preferences. Each property’s sales team generally consists of a director of sales who leads a team of experienced sales and catering managers. The number of sales and catering managers varies by property based upon the size and market potential of each hotel. We also develop company-wide sales and marketing strategies which are implemented at the property level through the support of the regional revenue teams. The regional revenue teams also assist in the evaluation of the results of our programs to ensure we are spending our sales and marketing program funds as efficiently and effectively as possible. Our property revenue teams react promptly to local market changes and market trends in order to adjust current and future marketing programs to meet each hotel’s competitive needs. The property revenue team is also responsible for developing and implementing marketing programs targeted at specific customer segments within their respective markets.
      Our core market consists of business travelers who tend to visit a given geographical area several times in a year. We believe that business travelers are attracted to our hotels because of their convenient locations, their proximity to corporate headquarters, manufacturing plants, convention centers or other major commercial facilities, their availability of ample meeting space and our service levels. Our sales force markets to organizations that need a high volume of room nights and that have a significant number of individuals traveling in the markets where we have hotels. Our hotels’ group meeting facilities include flexible space readily adaptable to groups of varying size, up-to-date audio-visual equipment and on-site catering facilities.
      In addition to the business market, our targeted customers include leisure travelers looking for comfortable and convenient lodging at an affordable price.
      Our franchised hotels use the centralized reservation systems of our franchisors, which are among the more advanced reservation systems in the lodging industry. The franchisors’ reservation systems receive reservation requests entered (1) on terminals located at all of their respective properties, (2) at reservation centers utilizing “1-800” phone access, (3) through global distribution systems, and (4) through Internet booking sites including franchisors’ own websites. These reservation systems immediately confirm reservations or indicate accommodations available at alternate hotels in the respective franchisors’ systems. Confirmations are transmitted automatically to the hotel for which the reservations are made. These systems are effective in directing customers to our franchised hotels and accounted for approximately 39% of our revenues in 2005.
Joint Ventures
      As of March 1, 2006, we operate four hotels in joint ventures in which we have a 50% or greater voting equity interest and exercise control. On April 18, 2005, we acquired for $0.7 million our joint venture partner’s 40% interest in the Crowne Plaza hotel located in Macon, Georgia, which is now consolidated as a wholly-owned subsidiary. In each joint venture, we share decision making authority with our joint venture partner and may not have sole discretion with respect to a hotel’s disposition.
      Through a partnership, we owned a 30% interest in the Holiday Inn City Center located in Columbus, OH. The debt on the hotel exceeded the fair value of the hotel. The partnership ceased making regular debt service payments to the lender in August 2005 but made interest payments to the lender as cash flow was available to do so. The lender filed a foreclosure petition on September 7, 2005. On November 15, 2005, the hotel was surrendered to a receiver and on February 3, 2006 the hotel was deeded to the lender. The hotel was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The receivable to Lodgian from this entity and the investment in this subsidiary were written off in 2005 for a total expense of $0.9 million.
Growth Strategy
      We believe that occupancy and ADR, and consequently RevPAR, in our continuing operations hotels will increase as a result of the continued improvement in lodging industry supply and demand fundamentals, our hotel renovation and repositioning program, and our strong management team. We believe our planned capital expenditures and operational improvements will continue to generate increased revenues and enhance our financial performance. We will continue to monitor the performance of our continuing operations hotels to improve operating results.

      Based on the recent trends in lodging industry fundamentals, we believe it is an opportune time in the lodging industry cycle to own and manage hotels. We believe our revenue growth and resulting improvements in our results of operations will be derived from the improvements we have made in our product quality and the renewed focus on our service levels.
Competition and Seasonality
      The hotel business is highly competitive. Each of our hotels competes in its market area with numerous other hotel properties operating under various lodging brands. National chains, including in many instances chains from which we obtain franchises, may compete with us in various markets. Our competition is comprised of public companies, privately-held equity fund companies, and small independent owners and operators. Competitive factors in the lodging industry include, among others, room rates, quality of accommodation, service levels, convenience of locations and amenities customarily offered to the traveling public. In addition, the development of travel-related Internet websites has increased price awareness among travelers and price competition among similarly located, comparable hotels.
      Demand for accommodations, and the resulting revenues, varies seasonally. The high season tends to be the summer months for hotels located in colder climates and the winter months for hotels located in warmer climates. Aggregate demand for accommodations in our portfolio is lowest during the winter months. Levels of demand are also dependent upon many factors that are beyond our control, including national and local economic conditions and changes in levels of leisure and business-related travel. Our hotels depend on both business and leisure travelers for revenue.
      We also compete with other hotel owners and operators with respect to the acquisition of hotels and in the obtainment of desirable franchises for upscale and midscale hotels in targeted markets.
The Lodging Industry
      The lodging industry showed signs of recovery in 2004 and 2005 with full-year RevPAR growth of 7.8% and 8.4%, respectively, according to Smith Travel Research as reported in January 2006.
      The U.S. lodging industry enjoyed nine consecutive years of positive RevPAR growth from 1992 through 2000 after the economic recession of 1991. The periods of greatest RevPAR growth over this time period generally occurred when growth in room demand exceeded new room supply growth. Smith Travel Research recently predicted annual U.S. lodging industry RevPAR growth of 8.0% in 2006 with an annual increase in demand of 3.0% outpacing annual net change in supply of 1.2%.
Chain-Scale Segmentation
      Smith Travel Research classifies the lodging industry into six chain scale segments by brand according to their respective national average daily rate or ADR. The six segments are defined as: luxury, upper upscale, upscale, midscale with food and beverage, midscale without food and beverage and economy. We operate hotel brands in the following five chain scale segments:
  •  Upper Upscale (Hilton and Marriott);
 
  •  Upscale (Courtyard by Marriott, Crowne Plaza, Radisson, Residence Inn by Marriott, and SpringHill Suites by Marriott);
 
  •  Midscale with Food & Beverage (Clarion, DoubleTree Club, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Select, and Quality Inn);
 
  •  Midscale without Food & Beverage (Fairfield Inn by Marriott and Holiday Inn Express); and
 
  •  Economy (Park Inn)
      We believe that our hotels and brands will perform competitively with the U.S. lodging industry as fundamentals improve. The table below illustrates the 2005 actual RevPAR growth of the chain segments represented by our brands as compared to the U.S. lodging industry averages as reported by Smith Travel

(A) 2005 RevPAR change related to our continuing operations hotels excluding the Pinehurst, West Palm Beach, Melbourne and Columbus hotels.
      Smith Travel Research is forecasting a U.S. average 8.0% RevPAR growth in 2006. These are only industry forecasts and they may not necessarily apply to our portfolio of hotels. We believe this continued upturn in the lodging business cycle will allow us to enhance our growth by focusing on our portfolio improvement strategy.
Properties
      We own and manage our hotels. Accordingly, we retain responsibility for all aspects of the day-to-day management for each of our hotels. We establish and implement standards for hiring, training and supervising staff, creating and maintaining financial controls, complying with laws and regulations related to hotel operations, and providing for the repair and maintenance of the hotels. Because we own and mange our hotels we are able to directly control our labor costs, we can negotiate purchasing arrangements without fees to third parties, and as an owner and operator we are motivated to focus our results on bottom-line profit performance instead of solely on top-line revenue growth. Accordingly, we are focused on maximizing returns for our shareholders.

(3)  This hotel is currently closed as a result of a fire on January 15, 2006.
      As of December 31, 2005, thirteen of our continuing operations hotels are located on land subject to long-term leases. Two of the hotels that were listed as held for sale in the first two months of 2006, and are located on land subject to long-term leases. Additionally, the two Kansas hotels transferred to the bond Trustee in February 2006 were located on land subject to long-term leases. Generally, these leases are for terms in excess of the depreciable lives of the buildings. We also have the right of first refusal on several leases if a third party offers to purchase the land. We pay fixed rents on some of these leases; on others, we have fixed rent plus additional rents based on a percentage of revenue or cash flow. Some of these leases are also subject to periodic rate increases. The leases generally require us to pay the cost of repairs, insurance and real estate taxes.
Dispositions
      In 2005, we sold eight hotels. We identified an additional five hotels as held for sale in 2005. One hotel that was previously classified in discontinued operations was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 as management no longer believed the hotel would be sold within one year. At December 31, 2005, 75 hotels were part of our continuing operations (including one hotel that we do not consolidate) and three hotels and one land parcel were classified in discontinued operations. In the first two months of 2006, we identified five additional hotels as held for sale. On February 1, 2006, two hotels were surrendered to the Trustee and one minority-owned hotel, that we accounted for under the equity method of accounting, was deeded to the lender on February 3, 2006. Accordingly, as of March 1, 2006, our portfolio consisted of 75 hotels, 67 of which are reflected in continuing operations and eight of which are classified as held for sale in discontinued operations.

Insurance
      We maintain the following types of insurance:
  •  general liability;
 
  •  property damage including business interruption;
 
  •  flood;
 
  •  directors’ and officers’ liability;
 
  •  liquor liability;
 
  •  workers’ compensation;
 
  •  fiduciary liability;
 
  •  business automobile;
 
  •  environmental; and
 
  •  employment practices liability insurance.
      We are self-insured up to certain amounts with respect to our insurance coverages. We establish liabilities for these self-insured obligations annually, based on actuarial valuations and our history of claims. If these

18


Table of Contents

claims exceed our estimates, our future financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2005, we had accrued $12.4 million for these expenses.
      There are other types of losses for which we cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost, including losses caused by acts of war. If an uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds our insurance limits were to occur, we could lose both the revenues generated from the affected property and the capital that we have invested. We also could be liable for any outstanding mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the hotel. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
      We believe that we have adequate reserves and sufficient insurance coverage for our business.
Regulation
      Our hotels are subject to certain federal, state and local regulations which require us to obtain and maintain various licenses and permits. These licenses and permits must be periodically renewed and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any time.
      Occupancy licenses are obtained prior to the opening of a hotel and may require renewal if there has been a major renovation. The loss of the occupancy license for any of the larger hotels in our portfolio could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Liquor licenses are required for hotels to be able to serve alcoholic beverages and are generally renewable annually. We believe that the loss of a liquor license for an individual hotel would not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We are not aware of any reason why we should not be in a position to maintain our licenses.
      We are subject to certain federal and state labor laws and regulations such as minimum wage requirements, regulations relating to working conditions, laws restricting the employment of illegal aliens, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). As a provider of restaurant services, we are subject to certain federal, state and local health laws and regulations. We believe that we comply in all material respects with these laws and regulations. We are also subject in certain states to dramshop statutes, which may give an injured person the right to recover damages from us if we wrongfully serve alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated person who causes an injury. We believe that our insurance coverage relating to contingent losses in these areas is adequate.
      Our hotels are also subject to environmental regulations under federal, state and local laws. These environmental regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our operations. However, such regulations potentially impose liability on property owners for cleanup costs for hazardous waste contamination. If material hazardous waste contamination problems exist on any of our properties, we would be exposed to liability for the costs associated with the cleanup of those sites.
Employees
      At December 31, 2005, we had 3,604 full-time and 1,673 part-time employees. We had 107 full-time employees engaged in administrative and executive activities and the balance of our employees manage, operate and maintain our properties. At December 31, 2005, 429 of our full and part-time employees located at six hotels were covered by collective bargaining agreements. These agreements expire between 2006 and 2008. We consider relations with our employees to be good.
Legal Proceedings
      From time to time, as we conduct our business, legal actions and claims are brought against us. The outcome of these matters is uncertain. However, we believe that all currently pending matters will be resolved without a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Claims relating to the period before we filed for Chapter 11 protection are limited to the amounts approved by the Bankruptcy Court for settlement of such claims and were payable out of the disputed claims reserves provided for by the Bankruptcy Court. On July 26, 2004, all remaining shares of mandatorily redeemable 12.25% cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) were redeemed and a liability of $2.2 million replaced the Preferred Stock shares that were previously held in the disputed claims reserve for the Joint Plan of Reorganization.

Accordingly, when this liability was established it reduced additional paid-in capital and did not flow through our consolidated statement of operations. On June 30, 2005, we completed the final distribution for our bankruptcy claims and released the remaining unused accrual balance of $1.3 million with a corresponding adjustment to Additional Paid-in Capital in our consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity.

Risks Related to Our Business
We may not be able to meet the requirements imposed by our franchisors in our franchise agreements and therefore could lose the right to operate one or more hotels under a national brand.
      We operate substantially all of our hotels pursuant to franchise agreements for nationally recognized hotel brands. The franchise agreements generally contain specific standards for, and restrictions and limitations on, the operation and maintenance of a hotel in order to maintain uniformity within the franchisor system. The standards are also subject to change over time. Compliance with any new and existing standards could cause us to incur significant expenses and investment in capital expenditures.
      If we do not comply with standards or terms of any of our franchise agreements, those franchise agreements may be terminated after we have been given notice and an opportunity to cure the non-compliance or default. As of March 1, 2006, we have been notified that we were not in compliance with some of the terms of eight of our franchise agreements and have received default and termination notices from franchisors with respect to an additional seven hotels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete our action plans (which we estimate will cost approximately $5.4 million) to cure the alleged defaults of noncompliance and default prior to the specified termination dates or be granted additional time in which to cure any defaults or noncompliance.
      In addition, as part of our bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, we entered into stipulations with each of our major franchisors setting forth a timeline for completion of capital expenditures for some of our hotels. However, as of March 1, 2006, we have not completed the required capital expenditures for eight continuing operations hotels in accordance with the stipulations and we estimate that the cost of completing these required capital expenditures is $3.3 million. As of March 1, 2006, approximately $2.0 million is deposited in escrow with the Company’s lenders to be applied to the capital expenditure obligations, pursuant to the terms of the respective loan agreements signed with these lenders. Nonetheless, a franchisor could therefore seek to declare its franchise agreement in default and could seek to terminate the franchise agreement.

21


Table of Contents

      If a franchise agreement is terminated, we will either select an alternative franchisor or operate the hotel independently of any franchisor. However, terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a hotel could require us to incur significant expenses, including franchise termination payments and capital expenditures associated with the change of a brand. Moreover, the loss of a franchise agreement could have a material adverse effect upon the operations or the underlying value of the hotel covered by the franchise because of the loss of associated guest loyalty, name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor. Loss of a franchise agreement may result in a default under, and acceleration of, the related mortgage debt. In particular, we would be in default under the Refinancing Debt if we experience either:
  •  multiple franchise agreement defaults and the continuance thereof beyond all notice and grace periods for hotels whose allocated loan amounts total 10% or more of the outstanding principal amount of such Refinancing Debt;
 
  •  with regard to the Merrill Lynch Mortgage floating rate refinancing debt (“Floating Rate Debt”), either the termination of franchise agreements for more than two properties or the termination of franchise agreements for hotels whose allocated loan amounts represent more than 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the floating rate debt, and such hotels continue to operate for more than five consecutive days without being subject to replacement franchise agreements;
 
  •  with regard to the Merrill Lynch Mortgage fixed rate refinancing debt (“Fixed Rate Debt”), either the termination of franchise agreements for more than one property or the termination of franchise agreements for hotels whose allocated loan amounts represent more than 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the fixed rate loan, and such hotels continue to operate for more than five consecutive days without being subject to replacement franchise agreements; or
 
  •  a franchise termination for any hotel currently subject to a franchise agreement that remains without a franchise agreement for more than six months.
      A single franchise agreement termination could materially and adversely affect our revenues, cash flow and liquidity.
      In addition, our loan agreements generally prohibit a hotel from operating without a national franchise affiliation, and the loss of such an affiliation could trigger a default under one or more such agreements. The 15 hotels that are either in default or non-compliance under their respective franchise agreements are part of the collateral security for an aggregate of $265.3 million of mortgage debt at March 1, 2006.
      In connection with our equity offering in June 2004, we entered into new franchise agreements for all 15 of our Marriott-branded hotels at that time and agreed to pay a fee aggregating approximately $0.5 million, of which $0.1 million has been paid, and $0.4 million is payable in 2007, subject to offsets.
      Our current franchise agreements, generally of 5 to 20 years duration, terminate at various times and have differing remaining terms. As a condition to renewal of the franchise agreements, franchisors frequently contemplate a renewal application process, which may require substantial capital improvements to be made to the hotel and increases in franchise fees. A significant increase in unexpected capital expenditures and franchise fees would adversely affect us.
Hotels require a high level of capital expenditures, maintenance and repairs, and if we are not able to meet these requirements of our hotels appropriately, our business and operating results will suffer.
      In order to maintain our hotels in good condition and attractive appearance, it is necessary to replace furnishings, fixtures and equipment periodically, generally every five to seven years, and to maintain and repair public areas and exteriors on an ongoing basis. If we do not make needed capital improvements, we could lose our share of the market to our competitors and our hotel occupancy and room rates could fall. Furthermore, the process of renovating a hotel can be disruptive to operations, and a failure to properly plan and execute renovations and schedule them during seasonally slower sales months can result in renovation displacement, an industry term for a temporary loss of revenue caused by the renovation. We also risk termination of

Table of Contents

franchise agreements at the affected properties due to non-compliance with the terms of the franchise agreements.
Most of our hotels are pledged as collateral for mortgage loans, and we have a significant amount of debt that could limit our operational flexibility or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.
      As of December 31, 2005, we had $414.3 million of total long-term debt outstanding including both continuing and discontinued operations, $394.4 million of which is associated with our continuing operations, net of the current portion of long-term debt. We are subject to the risks normally associated with significant amounts of debt, such as:
  •  We may not be able to repay or refinance our maturing indebtedness on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to refinance or extend the maturity of our maturing indebtedness, we may not otherwise be able to repay such indebtedness. Debt defaults could lead us to sell one or more of our hotels on unfavorable terms or, in the case of secured debt, to convey the mortgaged hotel(s) to the lender, causing a loss of any anticipated income and cash flow from, and our invested capital in, such hotel(s);
 
  •  72 of our consolidated hotels are pledged as collateral for existing mortgage loans as of December 31, 2005, which represented 96.7% of the book value of our hotel property and equipment, net, as of December 31, 2005, and, as a result, we have limited flexibility to sell our hotels to satisfy cash needs;
 
  •  Increased vulnerability to downturns in our business, the lodging industry and the general economy;
 
  •  Our ability to obtain other financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements may be limited;
 
  •  Our cash flow from operations may be insufficient to make required debt service payments, and we may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to debt service payments, reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other needs and placing us at a competitive disadvantage with other companies that have greater resources and/or less debt; and
 
  •  Our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry may be restricted, placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that may have greater financial strength than we have.
The terms of our debt instruments place many restrictions on us, which reduce operational flexibility and create default risks.
      Our outstanding debt instruments subject us to financial covenants, including leverage and coverage ratios. Our compliance with these covenants depends substantially upon the financial results of our hotels. In particular, our debt agreements with Merrill Lynch Mortgage require minimum debt yield and minimum debt service coverage ratios. The floating rate debt (“Floating Rate Debt”) provides that when either (i) the debt yield for the hotels securing the respective loans for the trailing 12-month period is below 9% during the first year, 10% during the next 18 months, and 11%, 12% and 13% during each of the next three extension periods, or (ii) to the extent extended, the debt service coverage ratio is less that 1.3x in the second extension period or 1.35x in the third extension period, excess cash flows produced by the mortgaged hotels securing the applicable loan (after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves, service fees, principal and interest) must be deposited in a restricted cash account. For the fixed rate debt (“Fixed Rate Debt”), when the debt yield ratio for the hotels for the trailing 12-month period is below 9% during the first year, 10% during the next year and 11%, 12% and 13% during each of the next three years, excess cash flows produced by the mortgaged hotels securing the applicable loan (after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves, service fees, principal and interest) must be deposited in a restricted cash account. These funds can be used for the prepayment of the applicable loan in an amount required to satisfy the applicable test, capital expenditures reasonably approved by the lender with respect to the hotels securing the applicable loan, and scheduled principal and interest payments due on the Floating Rate Debt of up to $0.9 million or any Fixed Rate Loan of up to $525,000, as applicable. Funds will no longer be deposited into

23

the restricted cash account when the debt yield ratio and, if applicable, the debt service coverage ratio are sustained above the minimum requirements for three consecutive months and there are no defaults.
      Additionally, as of December 31, 2005, we were not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio requirement of the loan from Column Financial secured by one of our hotels in Phoenix, Arizona. The primary reason the debt service coverage ratio is below the required threshold is that the property underwent an extensive renovation in 2004 in order to convert the property from a Holiday Inn Select to a Crowne Plaza hotel. The renovation caused substantial revenue displacement which, in turn, negatively affected the financial performance of this hotel. Under the terms of the Column Financial loan agreement, until the required DSCR is met, the lender is permitted to require the borrower to deposit all revenues from the mortgaged property into an account controlled by the lender. Accordingly, in December 2004, we were notified by the lender that we were in default of the debt service coverage ratio and would have to establish a restricted cash account whereby all cash generated by the property be deposited into an account from which all payments of interest, principal, operating expenses and impounds (insurance, property taxes and ground rent) would be disbursed. The lender may apply excess proceeds after payment of expenses to additional principal payments. At December 31, 2005, $0.7 million was being retained in the restricted cash account. This property was refinanced on March 1, 2006 and, accordingly, the non-compliance issue with this loan has been resolved. (See Note 17. Subsequent Events).
      As of December 31, 2005, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we owed approximately $10.1 million under industrial revenue bonds secured by Holiday Inns in Lawrence, Kansas and Manhattan, Kansas. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the cash flows of the two hotels were insufficient to meet the minimum debt service coverage ratio requirements. Accordingly, on March 2, 2005, we notified the Trustee of the industrial revenue bonds which finance the Holiday Inns in Lawrence, Kansas and Manhattan, Kansas that we would not continue to make debt service payments. The failure to make debt service payments is a default under the bond indenture and also a default under the ground leases for these properties. On August 31, 2005, we reached a settlement agreement with the bond Trustee, under which we agreed to either sell the hotels to a third party or convey our rights and interests in the hotels to the Trustee and pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the bondholders the sum of $0.5 million in exchange for a full release. We paid $0.5 million in September 2005 and surrendered the hotels in February 2006. We no longer own or operate those hotels.
      The restrictive covenants in our debt documents may reduce our flexibility in conducting our operations and may limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest. Our failure to comply with our debt documents, including these restrictive covenants, may result in additional interest being due and would constitute an event of default, and in some cases with notice or the lapse of time, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the defaulted debt and the sale or foreclosure of the affected hotels. As noted above, under certain circumstances the termination of a hotel franchise agreement could also result in the same effects. A foreclosure would result in a loss of any anticipated income and cash flow from, and our invested capital in, the affected hotel. No assurance can be given that we will be able to repay, through financings or otherwise, any accelerated indebtedness or that we will not lose all or a portion of our invested capital in any hotels that we sell in such circumstances.
Rising interest rates could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and interest expense.
      A significant portion of our capital needs are fulfilled by borrowings and some of the indebtedness is subject to variable interest rates, of which we had $86.5 million of variable rate debt at December 31, 2005. In the future, we may incur additional indebtedness bearing interest at a variable rate, or we may be required to refinance our existing fixed-rate indebtedness at higher interest rates. Accordingly, increases in interest rates will increase our interest expense and adversely affect our cash flow, reducing the amounts available to make payments on our indebtedness, fund our operations and our capital expenditure program, make acquisitions or pursue other business opportunities. We have reduced the risk of rising interest rates by entering into interest rate cap agreements for all our variable interest rate debt.

To service our indebtedness, we require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control and a cash shortfall could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations, planned capital expenditures and other needs.
      Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to fund our operations, planned capital expenditures and other needs will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Various factors could adversely affect our ability to meet operating cash requirements, many of which are subject to the operating risks inherent in the lodging industry and, therefore, are beyond our control. These risks include the following:
  •  Dependence on business and leisure travelers, who have been and continue to be affected by threats of terrorism, or other outbreaks of hostilities, and new laws to counter terrorism which result to some degree in a reduction of foreign travelers visiting the U.S.;
 
  •  Cyclical overbuilding in the lodging industry;
 
  •  Varying levels of demand for rooms and related services;
 
  •  Competition from other hotels, motels and recreational properties, some of which may be owned or operated by companies having greater marketing and financial resources than we have;
 
  •  Effects of economic and market conditions;
 
  •  Decreases in air travel;
 
  •  Fluctuations in operating costs;
 
  •  Changes in governmental laws and regulations that influence or determine wages or required remedial expenditures;
 
  •  Natural disasters, including, but not limited to hurricanes;
 
  •  Changes in interest rates and changes in the availability, cost and terms of credit; and
 
  •  The perception of the lodging industry and lodging companies in the debt and equity markets.
The value of our hotels and our ability to repay or refinance our debt are dependent upon the successful operation and cash flows of the hotels.
      The value of our hotels is heavily dependent on their cash flows. If cash flow declines, the hotel values may also decline and the ability to repay or refinance our debt could also be adversely affected. Factors affecting the performance of our hotels include, but are not limited to, construction of competing hotels in the markets served by our hotels, loss of franchise affiliations, the need for renovations, the effectiveness of renovations or repositioning in attracting customers, changes in travel patterns and adverse economic conditions.
      We may not be able to fund our future capital needs, including necessary working capital, funds for capital expenditures or acquisition financing from operating cash flow. Consequently, we may have to rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain the financing on favorable terms or at all, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, cash flow and liquidity. Any additional debt would increase our leverage, which would reduce our operational flexibility and increase our risk exposure. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on:
  •  general market conditions;
 
  •  the market’s perception of our growth potential;
 
  •  our current debt levels and property encumbrances;
 
  •  our current and expected future earnings;

25


Table of Contents

  •  our cash flow and cash needs; and
 
  •  the market price per share of our common stock.
If we are not able to implement our growth strategy, we may not be able to improve our financial performance.
      Our growth strategy is focused on improving the operations of our continuing operations hotels with improved product quality as a result of our renovation program, improved services levels, and additional investment in our hotels, including repositionings and renovations, that will earn a sufficient return on the capital invested. Additionally, we periodically evaluate our portfolio of hotels to identify underperforming hotels that should be sold. We cannot assure you that the execution of our growth strategy will produce improved financial performance at the affected hotels. We compete for growth opportunities with national and regional hospitality companies, many of which have greater name recognition, marketing support and financial resources than we do. An inability to implement our growth strategy successfully would limit our ability to grow our revenue, net income and cash flow.
Our current joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture partners’ financial condition and performance, and any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners.
      We currently have an ownership interest in four of our hotels through joint ventures. We generally will not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the hotels owned through such joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present when a third party is not involved, including the possibility that joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Joint venture partners may have business interests, strategies or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests, strategies or goals and may be, and in cases where we have a minority interest will be, in a position to take actions contrary to our policies, strategies or objectives. Joint venture investments also entail a risk of impasse on decisions, such as acquisitions or sales, because neither we nor our joint venture partner would have full control over the joint venture. Any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that could increase our expenses and could prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort exclusively on our business strategies. Consequently, actions by or disputes with our joint venture partners might result in subjecting hotels owned by the joint venture to additional risks. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party joint venture partners.
We have a history of significant losses and we may not be able to successfully improve our performance to achieve profitability.
      We incurred cumulative net losses of $348.7 million from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2005 and had an accumulated deficit of $69.6 million as of December 31, 2005. Our ability to improve our performance to achieve profitability is dependent upon a recovery in the general economy, combined with an improvement in the lodging industry specifically, and the successful implementation of our business strategy. Our failure to improve our performance could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, liquidity and prospects. The economic downturn which commenced in early 2001 and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent threat of terrorism resulted in a sharp decline in demand for hotels and affected our results in 2002 and 2003. The lodging industry experienced some recovery beginning in the second half of 2003 which has continued through 2005. These favorable trends need to continue into 2006 for us to generate positive cash flows essential to our growth and to the implementation of our business strategy. Although Smith Travel Research recently forecasted RevPAR growth for the U.S. lodging industry in 2006 due to rising occupancy and rates and an improving economy, this forecast does not necessarily apply specifically to our portfolio of hotels. Additionally, rising interest rates and energy costs, the troubled airline industry and continued threats to national security or air travel safety could adversely affect the industry, resulting in our inability to meet profit expectations.

26


Table of Contents

Acts and threats of terrorism, the ongoing war against terrorism, military conflicts and other factors have had and may continue to have a negative effect on the lodging industry and our results of operations.
      The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the continued threat of terrorism, including changing threat levels announced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, have had a negative impact on the lodging industry and on our hotel operations. These events have caused a significant decrease in occupancy and ADR in our hotels due to disruptions in business and leisure travel patterns and concerns about travel safety. In particular, major metropolitan areas and airport hotels have been adversely affected by concerns about air travel safety and a significant overall decrease in the amount of air travel. We believe that uncertainty associated with subsequent terrorist threats and incidents, military conflicts and the possibility of hostilities with other countries may continue to hamper business and leisure travel patterns and our hotel operations for the foreseeable future, and if these matters worsen, the effects could become materially more adverse.
We may be unable to sell real estate, including our assets held for sale, in a timely manner or at expected prices.
      As of March 1, 2006, we have eight hotels and one land parcel listed as assets available for sale; however, real estate assets generally cannot be sold quickly. No assurance can be given that we will be able to sell any of these hotels or the land parcel on favorable terms or at all. Furthermore, even if we are able to sell these hotels, we may not be able to realize any cash proceeds from the sales after paying off the related debt, or the sale may not be timely to provide cash needed to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements. If we lose the franchise of any of these properties for sale, the value of the hotel could decline, perhaps substantially. The inability to sell these properties could severely hamper our strategy to own upscale and profitable hotels under popular brands, which could have adverse effects on our profitability.
Our expenses may remain constant or increase even if revenues decline.
      Certain expenses associated with owning and operating a hotel are relatively fixed and do not proportionately reduce with a drop in revenues. Consequently, during periods when revenues drop, we would be compelled to continue to incur certain expenses which are fixed in nature. Moreover, we could be adversely affected by:
  •  Rising interest rates;
 
  •  Tightening of funding available to the lodging industry on favorable terms, or at all;
 
  •  Rising energy costs, gasoline or heating fuel supply shortages;
 
  •  Rising insurance premiums;
 
  •  Rising property tax expenses;
 
  •  Increase in labor and related costs; and
 
  •  Changes in, and as a result, increases in the cost of compliance with new government regulations, including those governing environmental, usage, zoning and tax matters.
We may make acquisitions or investments that are not successful and that adversely affect our ongoing operations.
      We may acquire or make investments in hotel companies or groups of hotels that we believe complement our business. We lack experience in making corporate acquisitions. As a result, our ability to identify prospects, conduct acquisitions and properly manage the integration of acquisitions is unproven. If we fail to properly evaluate and execute acquisitions or investments, it may have a material adverse effect on our results

27


Table of Contents

of operations. In making or attempting to make acquisitions or investments, we face a number of risks, including:
  •  Significant errors or miscalculations in identifying suitable acquisition or investment candidates, performing appropriate due diligence, identifying potential liabilities and negotiating favorable terms;
 
  •  Reducing our working capital and hindering our ability to expand or maintain our business, including making capital expenditures and funding operations;
 
  •  The potential distraction of our management, diversion of our resources and disruption of our business;
 
  •  Overpaying by competing for acquisition opportunities with resourceful and cash-rich competitors;
 
  •  Inaccurate forecasting of the financial impact of an acquisition or investment; and
 
  •  Failure to effectively integrate acquired companies or investments into our company and the resultant inability to achieve expected synergies.
Losses may exceed our insurance coverage or estimated reserves, which could impair our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
      We are self-insured up to certain amounts with respect to our insurance coverages. Many of our loan agreements require that we maintain our insurance coverages with carriers with at least a “AA-” rating from Standard & Poors. Various types of catastrophic losses, including those related to environmental, health and safety matters may not be insurable or may not be economically insurable. In the event of a substantial loss, our insurance coverage may not cover the full current market value or replacement cost of our lost investment or building code upgrades associated with such an occurance. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors might cause insurance proceeds to be insufficient to fully replace or renovate a hotel after it has been damaged or destroyed.
      We cannot assure you that:
  •  the insurance coverages that we have obtained will fully protect us against insurable losses (i.e., losses may exceed coverage limits);
 
  •  we will not incur losses from risks that are not insurable or that are not economically insurable; or
 
  •  current coverages with AA- rated or better carriers will continue to be available at reasonable rates.
      Should a material uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur with respect to any particular property, we could lose our capital invested in the property, as well as the anticipated income and cash flow from the property. Any such loss would have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, if we are unable to maintain insurance that meets our debt and franchise agreement requirements, and if we are unable to amend or waive those requirements, it could result in an acceleration of that debt and impair our ability to maintain franchise affiliations.
Competition in the lodging industry could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
      The lodging industry is highly competitive. No single competitor or small number of competitors dominates the industry. We generally operate in areas that contain numerous other competitors, some of which may have substantially greater resources than we have. Competitive factors in the lodging industry include, among others, oversupply in a particular market, franchise affiliation, reasonableness of room rates, quality of accommodations, service levels, convenience of locations and amenities customarily offered to the traveling public. There can be no assurance that demographic, geographic or other changes in markets will not adversely affect the future demand for our hotels, or that the competing and new hotels will not pose a greater threat to our business. Any of these adverse factors could materially and adversely affect us.

28


Table of Contents

Adverse conditions in major metropolitan markets in which we do substantial business could negatively affect our results of operations.
      Adverse economic conditions in markets, such as Pittsburgh, Baltimore/ Washington, D.C., and Phoenix, in which we have multiple hotels, could significantly and negatively affect our revenue and results of operations. Our 14 hotels in these areas provided approximately 26.1% of our 2005 continuing operations revenue and approximately 21.5% of our 2005 continuing operations total available rooms. As a result of this geographic concentration of our hotels, we are particularly exposed to the risks of downturns in these markets, which could have a major adverse affect on our profitability.
The lodging business is seasonal.
      Demand for accommodations varies seasonally. The high season tends to be the summer months for hotels located in colder climates and the winter months for hotels located in warmer climates. Aggregate demand for accommodations at the hotels in our portfolio is lowest during the winter months. We generate substantial cash flow in the summer months compared to the slower winter months. If adverse factors affect our ability to generate cash in the summer months, the impact on our profitability is much greater than if similar factors occur during the winter months.
We are exposed to potential risks of brand concentration.
      As of March 1, 2006, we operate approximately 83% of our hotels under the InterContinental Hotels Group and Marriott flags, and therefore, are subject to potential risks associated with the concentration of our hotels under limited brand names. If either of these brands suffers a major decline in popularity with the traveling public, it could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
We have experienced significant changes in our senior management team.
      There have been a number of changes in our senior management team during the last two years and since our emergence from bankruptcy. Our new chief executive officer was hired in July 2005, our chief operating officer resigned in September 2005 and our chief financial officer resigned in December 2005. On March 1, 2006, we hired James MacLennan as our new chief financial officer. If our management team is unable to develop successful business strategies, achieve our business objectives or maintain effective relationships with employees, suppliers, creditors and customers, our ability to grow our business and successfully meet operational challenges could be impaired.
Our success is dependent on recruiting and retaining high caliber key personnel.
      Our ability to maintain or enhance our competitive position will depend to a significant extent on the efforts and ability of our executive and senior management, particularly our chief executive officer. Our future success and our ability to manage future growth will depend in large part upon the efforts of our management team and on our ability to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel. Competition for personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining our personnel. Our inability to retain our current management team and attract and retain other highly qualified personnel could hinder our business.
The increasing use of third-party travel websites by consumers may adversely affect our profitability.
      Some of our hotel rooms are booked through third-party travel websites such as Travelocity.com, Expedia.com, Priceline.com and Hotels.com. If these Internet bookings increase, these intermediaries may be in a position to demand higher commissions, reduced room rates or induce other significant contract concessions from us. Moreover, some of these Internet travel intermediaries are attempting to offer hotel rooms as a commodity, by increasing the importance of price and general indicators of quality (such as “three-star downtown hotel”) at the expense of brand identification. Although we expect to continue to derive most of our business through the traditional channels, if the revenue generated through Internet intermediaries increases significantly, room revenues may flatten or decrease and our profitability may be adversely affected.

We may be unable to utilize all of our net operating loss carryforwards.
      As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $306 million of net operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes, which includes an estimated $8.7 million of 2005 tax losses. Approximately $8 million of losses expired unused at December 31, 2005. To the extent that we do not have sufficient future taxable income to be offset by these net operating loss carryforwards, any unused losses will expire between 2006 and 2024. Our ability to use these net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income is also subject to annual limitations. An audit or review by the Internal Revenue Service could result in a reduction in the net operating loss carryforwards available to us.
Many aspects of our operations are subject to government regulations, and changes in these regulations may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
      A number of states and local governments regulate the licensing of hotels and restaurants, including occupancy and liquor license grants, by requiring registration, disclosure statements and compliance with specific standards of conduct. Operators of hotels are also subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act, and various employment laws, which regulate minimum wage requirements, overtime, working conditions and work permit requirements. Compliance with, or changes in, these laws could increase our operating costs and reduce profitability.
Costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations could adversely affect operating results.
      Under various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for non-compliance with applicable environmental and health and safety requirements and for the costs of investigation, monitoring, removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances. These laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances.
      The presence of these hazardous or toxic substances on a property could also result in personal injury or property damage or similar claims by private parties. In addition, the presence of contamination, or the failure to report, investigate or properly remediate contaminated property, may adversely affect the operation of the property or the owner’s ability to sell or rent the property or to borrow funds using the property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of those substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not that facility is or ever was owned or operated by that person.
      The operation and removal of underground storage tanks is also regulated by federal, state and local laws. In connection with the ownership and operation of our hotels, we could be held liable for the costs of remedial action for regulated substances and storage tanks and related claims.
      Some of our hotels contain asbestos-containing building materials (“ACBMs”). Environmental laws require that ACBMs be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. Third parties may be permitted by law to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to contaminants, including, but not limited to, ACBMs. Operation and maintenance programs have been developed for those hotels which are known to contain ACBMs.
      Many, but not all, of our hotels have undergone Phase I environmental site assessments, which generally provide a nonintrusive physical inspection and database search, but not soil or groundwater analyses, by a qualified independent environmental consultant. The purpose of a Phase I assessment is to identify potential sources of contamination for which the hotel owner or others may be responsible. None of the Phase I environment site assessments revealed any past or present environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on us. Nevertheless, it is possible that these assessments did not reveal all environmental liabilities or compliance concerns or that material environmental liabilities or compliance concerns exist of which we are currently unaware.

      Some of our hotels may contain microbial matter such as mold, mildew and viruses, whose presence could adversely affect our results of operations. Phase I assessments performed on certain of our hotels in connection with our refinancing completed at the time of our Chapter 11 bankruptcy emergence identified mold in four of our hotels. We have completed all necessary remediation for these properties. In addition, if any hotel in our portfolio is not properly connected to a water or sewer system, or if the integrity of such systems are breached, microbial matter or other contamination can develop. If this were to occur, we could incur significant remedial costs and we may also be subject to private damage claims and awards.
      Any liability resulting from noncompliance or other claims relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on us and our insurability for such matters in the future and on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects.
A downturn in the economy due to high energy costs and gasoline prices could negatively impact our financial performance, our customer guest satisfaction scores and customer service levels.
      We use significant amounts of electricity, gasoline, natural gas and other forms of energy to operate our hotels. A shortage in supply or a period of sustained high energy costs could negatively affect our results of operations. Additionally, a shortage of supply could impact our ability to operate our hotels and could adversely impact our guests’ experience at our hotels, and ultimately, our guest satisfaction scores and potentially our franchisor affiliations.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our common stock could be de-listed from the American Stock Exchange if its listing standards are not maintained.
      The rules of the American Stock Exchange allow the exchange to de-list securities if it determines that a company’s securities fail to meet its guidelines in respect of corporate net worth, public float, number of shareholders, aggregate market value of shares or price per share. We cannot assure purchasers of our common stock that we will continue to meet the American Stock Exchange listing requirements. If our common stock is delisted from the American Stock Exchange, it would likely trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is a quotation service for securities which are not listed or traded on a national securities exchange. The OTC Bulletin Board is viewed by most investors as less desirable and a less liquid marketplace. Thus, delisting from the American Stock Exchange could make trading our shares more difficult or expensive for investors, leading to declines in share price. It would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. In addition, we would incur additional costs to sell equity under state blue sky laws if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.
Our stock price may be volatile.
      The market price of our common stock could decline and fluctuate significantly in response to various factors, including:
  •  Actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
 
  •  Announcements of new services or products or significant price reductions by us or our competitors;
 
  •  Market performance by our competitors;
 
  •  Future issuances of our common stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock, by us directly, or the perception that such issuances are likely to occur;
 
  •  Sales of our common stock by stockholders or the perception that such sales may occur in the future;
 
  •  The size of our market capitalization;
 
  •  Loss of our franchises;
 
  •  Default on our indebtedness and/or foreclosure of our properties;

  •  Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and
 
  •  Domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.
We may never pay dividends on our common stock, in which event our stockholders’ only return on their investment, if any, will occur on the sale of our common stock.
      We have not yet paid any dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. As a result, a stockholders’ only return on their investment, if any, will occur on the sale of our common stock.
Our charter documents, employment contracts and Delaware law may impede attempts to replace or remove our management or inhibit a takeover, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
      Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware corporate law, contain provisions that could delay or prevent changes in our management or a change of control that you might consider favorable and may prevent you from receiving a takeover premium for your shares. These provisions include, for example:
  •  Authorizing the issuance of preferred stock, the terms of which may be determined at the sole discretion of the board of directors;
 
  •  Establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at meetings; and
 
  •  Requiring all stockholder action to be taken at a duly called meeting, not by written consent.
      In addition, we have entered into, and could enter into in the future, employment contracts with certain of our employees that contain change of control provisions.

Historical Data
      On April 27, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of our Company’s common stock in a ratio of one-for-three (1:3) with resulting fractional shares paid in cash. The reverse split affected all our issued and outstanding common shares, warrants, stock options, and restricted stock. The record date for the reverse split was April 29, 2004 and our new common stock began trading under the split adjustment on April 30, 2004. All stock information has been retroactively restated to reflect the 1:3 reverse stock split.
      Our common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “LGN.” Prior to November 21, 2001, our common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “LOD.” Subsequent to November 21, 2001, our common stock traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “LODN.OB.” Subsequent to November 25, 2002, the common stock traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “LDGIV.OB” until January 28, 2003, when it began trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “LGN.” The following table sets forth the high and low closing prices of our common stock on a quarterly basis for the past two years:

      At March 1, 2006, we had approximately 2,886 holders of record of our common stock.
      Our Preferred Stock also began trading on the American Stock Exchange on January 28, 2003 under the symbol “LGN.pr”. All outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock were either exchanged for common stock or redeemed for cash in 2004 and are no longer traded on any stock exchange.
      We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock, and our board of directors does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that all of our earnings, if any, and other cash resources will be retained to fund our business and build cash reserves and will be available for other strategic opportunities that may develop. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors, and will be contingent upon our results of operations, financial position, cash flow, liquidity, capital expenditure plan and requirements, general business conditions, restrictions imposed by financing arrangements, if any, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.
      The Preferred Stock issued on November 25, 2002 (the date on which the first of the plans of reorganization became effective) accrued dividends at the rate of 12.25% per annum. As required by the Preferred Stock agreement, we paid the dividend due on November 21, 2003 by issuing additional shares of

Preferred Stock, except for fractional shares, which we paid in cash. Immediately following the effective date of our equity offering on June 25, 2004, we exchanged 3,941,115 shares of our common stock for 1,483,558 shares of Preferred Stock (“the Preferred Share Exchange”) held by (1) certain affiliates of, and investment accounts managed by, Oaktree Capital Management (“Oaktree”), LLC, (2) BRE/ HY Funding LLC (“BRE/ HY”), and (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”), based on a common stock price of $10.50 per share. In the Preferred Share Exchange, Oaktree, BRE/ HY and Merrill Lynch received 2,262,661, 1,049,034 and 629,420 shares of our common stock, respectively. As part of the Preferred Share Exchange, we recorded a $1.6 million loss on preferred stock redemption for the 4% prepayment premium on the shares of Preferred Stock that were exchanged for common stock. Also, from the proceeds of the public equity offering, on July 26, 2004, we redeemed all 4,048,183 remaining shares of our Preferred Stock for approximately $114.0 million. The 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock that were part of the disputed claims reserve were replaced with a liability of approximately $2.2 million on our consolidated balance sheet. Approximately $4.5 million was paid for the 4% prepayment premium on the Preferred Stock when all remaining outstanding shares were redeemed on July 26, 2004. On June 30, 2005, we completed the final distribution of our bankruptcy claims and released the remaining unused accrual balance of $1.3 million with a corresponding adjustment to Additional Paid-in Capital in our Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.
      On July 15, 2004, July 15, 2005 and September 8, 2005, a total of 66,666 restricted stock units previously issued to our CEO, Thomas Parrington, vested in three installments of 22,222 shares. Mr. Parrington, pursuant to the restricted unit award agreement between the Company and him, elected to have the Company withhold 21,633 shares to satisfy the employment tax withholding requirements associated with the vested shares. Accordingly, 21,633 shares were withheld and deemed repurchased by the Company and are shown as treasury stock on our balance sheet.

      On November 25, 2002, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”) which replaced the stock option plan previously in place. The Stock Incentive Plan, prior to the completion of the secondary stock offering on June 25, 2004, authorized the Company to award its directors, officers, or other key employees or consultants as determined by a committee appointed by the board of Directors, options and other equity incentives to acquire up to 353,333 shares of common stock. With the completion of the secondary stock offering on June 25, 2004, the total number of shares available for issuance under our stock incentive plan increased to 3,301,058 shares. In addition to the issuance of options to acquire 593,894 shares (out of which options for 40,497 shares were exercised), we have issued 121,415 restricted stock shares (net of 21,633 treasury shares) under the plan.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Selected Consolidated Financial Data
      We present, in the table below, selected financial data derived from our historical financial statements for the five years ended December 31, 2005. On November 22, 2002, in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we restated our assets and liabilities to reflect their estimated fair values at that date, referred to as fresh start reporting. As a result, our financial statements for the period subsequent to November 22, 2002 are those of a new reporting entity, and are not comparable with the financial statements for the period prior to November 22, 2002. For this reason, we use the term “Successor” when we refer to periods subsequent to November 22, 2002 and the term “Predecessor” when we refer to the periods prior to November 22, 2002.
      In addition, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, our results of operations distinguish between the results of operations of those properties which we plan to retain in our portfolio for the foreseeable future, referred to as continuing operations, and the results of operations of those properties which have been sold or have been identified for sale, referred to as discontinued operations.
      You should read the financial data below in conjunction with “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this Form 10-K.
      The income statement financial data for the years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003, and selected balance sheet data for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, were extracted from the audited financial statements included in this Form 10-K, which commences on page F-1.

(1)  The number of shares in the Successor period ended December 31, 2002, represents the new shares issued on the effective date of the plan of reorganization in November 25, 2002. The 28,479,837 old shares were cancelled and 2,333,333 million new shares (on a post reverse stock split basis) were issued, including the shares held in the disputed claims reserve.
 
(2)  The Preferred Stock was issued on November 25, 2002. At December 31, 2002, the Preferred Stock was classified between long-term debt and equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, called the mezzanine section. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150 which was effective on July 1, 2003, we reclassified the Preferred Stock to long-term debt. The Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2003 was $142.2 million, compared to $126.5 million at December 31, 2002. In addition, dividends for the applicable periods from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004 were reported in interest expense. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, we continued to show the dividends for the periods from January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003 and from November 23, 2002 to December 31, 2002 as deductions from retained earnings. On June 25, 2004, we exchanged 3,941,115 shares of our common stock for 1,483,558 shares of our outstanding Preferred Stock, and, on July 26, 2004, we used a portion of the proceeds of our public offering of common stock to redeem the remaining 4,048,183 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock.

Executive Summary
      We are one of the largest independent owners and operators of full-service hotels in the United States in terms of our number of guest rooms, as reported by Hotel Business in the 2006 Green Book issue published in December 2005. We are considered an independent owner and operator because we do not operate our hotels under our own name. We operate substantially all of our hotels under nationally recognized brands, such as “Crowne Plaza,” “Holiday Inn,” “Marriott” and “Hilton.” As of March 1, 2006, we operated 75 hotels with an aggregate of 13,468 rooms, located in 28 states and Canada. Of the 75 hotels we operated as of March 1, 2006, 67 hotels, with an aggregate of 12,144 rooms, are part of our continuing operations, while eight hotels, with an aggregate of 1,324 rooms, are held for sale. Five of the eight hotels, with an aggregate of 868 rooms, were classified as held for sale in the first two months of January 2006 and are, therefore, included in continuing operations at December 31, 2005. Our portfolio of hotels, all of which we consolidate in our financial statements, consists of:
  •  71 hotels that we wholly own and operate through subsidiaries; and
 
  •  four hotels that we operate in joint ventures in which we have a 50% or greater equity interest and exercise control.
      In 2003, we developed a strategy of owning and operating a portfolio of profitable, well-maintained and appealing hotels at superior locations in strong markets. We have implemented this strategy by:
  •  renovating and repositioning certain of our existing hotels to improve performance;
 
  •  divesting hotels that do not fit this strategy or that are unlikely to do so without significant effort or expense; and
 
  •  acquiring one hotel that better fits this strategy.
      In accordance with this strategy, and our efforts to reduce debt and interest costs, in 2003 we identified 19 hotels, our only office building and three land parcels for sale. In 2003, we sold one hotel and the office building. In 2004, we sold 11 hotels and two land parcels. In 2005, we sold 8 hotels. In 2005, we also identified an additional five hotels as held for sale. In the first two months of 2006, we identified an additional five hotels as held for sale. Since the start of our portfolio improvement strategy in November 2003, we have listed 29 hotels, one office building and three land parcels for sale and we have sold 20 hotels, two land parcels and the office building. The total aggregate sales price of these sales was $95.1 million and, of the $91.2 million in aggregate net proceeds, we used $71.7 million to pay down debt and the balance for general corporate purposes including capital expenditures. One hotel previously included in discontinued operations was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 as management no longer expected the hotel to be sold within one year. Additionally, on February 1, 2006, our two Kansas properties were surrendered to the Trustee pursuant to the settlement agreement signed in August 2005. On February 3, 2006, our minority-owned hotel in Columbus, OH, accounted for under the equity method of accounting, was deeded to the lender. As detailed below, after the surrender of these three hotels in the first two months of 2006 and the identification of five additional hotels as held for sale in the first two months of 2006, as of March 1, 2006, our portfolio consisted of 75 hotels, with 67 hotels in continuing operations and eight hotels and one land parcel in discontinued operations.

Operating Summary
      Below is a summary of our results of operations, presented in more detail in “Results of Operations-Continuing Operations”:
  •  Revenues increased in 2005 due to improved performance in occupancy and ADR, mostly driven by increases in room rate. Revenues for 2005 were negatively affected by the rooms that were displaced by our renovation program, the impact of two hotels that were closed for the balance of 2005 for hurricane repairs (with the exception of the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach that reopened on December 29, 2005), and the closure of one hotel in the fourth quarter 2005 for repairs related to a water main break;
 
  •  Direct operating expenses increased due to increased revenues and the corresponding increase in variable expenses such as franchise fees which increase with revenues. Other hotel operating costs increased due to data conversion and training costs for property management system upgrades mandated by our franchisors, higher bad debts related to airline Chapter 11 filings, higher advertising and promotion costs related to our newly renovated properties including our two hurricane damaged properties that reopened in December 2005 and January 2006, and significantly higher utility rates;
 
  •  Corporate and other expenses were higher in 2005 due to severance costs, expenses related to the hiring of the Company’s president and chief executive officer, the write-off of a receivable from and the investment in the 30% minority-owned Holiday Inn City Center Columbus, OH hotel, and legal and settlement fees surrounding the two Kansas hotels that were surrendered to the bond Trustee;
 
  •  During 2005, we reached a settlement with our insurance carriers on the property damage related to the 2004 hurricane season and, as a result, recognized a net casualty gain on five hotels offset by additional hurricane expenses at our Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel and other continuing operations hotels. We also recognized business interruption proceeds for the two Florida hotels that were closed for hurricane repairs;
 
  •  Interest expense decreased in 2005 as compared to 2004 because we incurred significant charges related to the refinancing executed in connection with our secondary stock offering completed on June 25, 2004; and
 
  •  During 2005, we analyzed our assets held for use for conditions of impairment and, where appropriate, recorded impairment charges where the carrying values exceeded their estimated fair values. Our analysis included such factors as cash flow, negative demographic or economic factors in each market and increased guest room supply in each market.
Discontinued Operations
      At December 31, 2005, three hotels and one land parcel were held for sale. At December 31, 2004, seven hotels and one parcel of land were held for sale.
      The combined condensed statement of operations for discontinued operations as of December 31, 2005 includes the results of operations for the three hotels and one land parcel held for sale and the eight hotels that were sold in 2005. The combined condensed statement of operations for discontinued operations as of December 31, 2004 includes the results of operations for the seven hotels and one land parcel held for sale, the 11 hotels that were sold in 2004 and the eight hotels sold in 2005.
      The assets and liabilities related to these held for sale assets are separately disclosed in our consolidated balance sheet.
      Where the carrying values of the assets held for sale exceeded their estimated fair values, net of selling costs, we reduced the carrying values and recorded impairment charges. Fair values were determined using market prices and where the estimated selling prices, net of selling costs, exceeded the carrying values, no adjustments were recorded. We classify an asset as held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market a property for sale. While we believe the completion of these dispositions is

39


Table of Contents

probable, the sale of these assets is subject to market conditions and we cannot provide assurance that we will finalize the sale of all or any of these assets on favorable terms or at all.
      Between November 1, 2003 and March 1, 2006, we sold 20 hotels, our only office building and two land parcels for aggregate net proceeds of $91.2 million, of which we used $71.7 million to pay down debt and the balance for general corporate purposes including capital expenditures. For the eight assets sold in 2005, the total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $12.9 million, the direct operating expenses were $6.9 million, and the other hotel operating expenses were $5.6 million.
      The results of operations of the other 74 hotels that we consolidate in our consolidated financial statements are reported in continuing operations as of December 31, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
      Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). As we prepare our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies and estimates:
      Consolidation policy — All of our hotels are owned by operating subsidiaries. We consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of those hotels where we own at least 50% of the voting equity interest and we exercise control. All of the subsidiaries are wholly-owned except for five joint ventures, one of which is not consolidated but is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
      When we consolidate hotels in which we own less than 100% of the voting equity interest, we include the assets and liabilities of these hotels in our consolidated balance sheet. The third party interests in the net assets of these hotels are reported as minority interest on our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, our consolidated statement of operations reflects the full revenues and expenses of these hotels and the third party portion of the net income or loss is reported as minority interest in our consolidated statements of operations. If the loss applicable to the minority interest exceeds the minority’s equity, we report the entire loss in our consolidated statement of operations.
      When we account for an entity under the equity method of accounting, we record only our share of the investment on our consolidated balance sheet and our share of the net income or loss in our consolidated statement of operations. We own a 30% non-controlling equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture and have historically included our share of this investment in “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheet. Our share of the net income or loss of the unconsolidated joint venture is shown in “interest income and other” in our consolidated statements of operations. In the third quarter 2005 we wrote off the investment in this minority-owned hotel as we had plans to surrender this hotel to its lender.
      Deferral policy — We defer franchise application fees on the acquisition or renewal of a franchise as well as loan origination costs related to new or renewed loan financing arrangements. Deferrals relating to the acquisition or renewal of a franchise are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the franchise agreement. We amortize deferred financing costs over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The effective interest method incorporates the present values of future cash outflows and the effective yield on the debt in determining the amortization of loan fees. At December 31, 2005, these deferrals totaled $6.3 million for our continuing operations hotels. If we were to write these expenses off in the year of payment, our operating expenses in those years would be significantly higher.
      Asset impairment — We invest significantly in real estate assets. Property and equipment represent 83.5% of the total assets on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005. Accordingly, our policy on asset impairment is considered a critical accounting estimate. Under GAAP, real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Management periodically evaluates the Company’s property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that a possible

40


Table of Contents

impairment in the carrying values of the assets has occurred. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered for impairment when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by that asset over its estimated useful life is less than the asset’s carrying amounts. In determining the undiscounted cash flows we consider the current operating results, market trends, and future prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value is charged to operating expenses. We obtain fair values through broker valuations or appraisals. These broker valuations of fair value normally use the “cap rate” approach of estimated cash flows, a “per key valuation” approach, or a “room revenue multiplier” approach for determining fair value. If the projected future cash flow exceeds the asset’s carrying values, no adjustment is recorded. Impairment loss for an asset held for sale is recognized when the asset’s carrying value is greater than the fair value less estimated selling costs. See Note 3 for further discussion of the Company’s charges for asset impairment.
      As part of this evaluation, and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), we classify our properties into two categories, “assets held for sale” and “assets held for use”.
      We consider an asset held for sale when the following criteria per SFAS No. 144 are met:
        1. Management commits to a plan to sell the asset;
 
        2. The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition;
 
        3. An active marketing plan to sell the asset has been initiated at a reasonable price;
 
        4. The sale of the asset is probable within one year; and
 
        5. It is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell the asset will be made.
      Upon designation of an asset as held for sale, we record the carrying value of the asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value (which is determined after consultation with real estate brokers) less estimated selling costs, and we cease depreciation of the asset. The fair values of the assets held for sale are based on the estimated selling prices. We determine the estimated selling prices in conjunction with real estate brokers. The estimated selling costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales. We record impairment charges and write-down respective hotel assets if their carrying values exceed the estimated selling prices less costs to sell. During 2005, we recorded $4.0 million of impairment losses on six assets held for sale. During 2004, we recorded $7.2 million of impairment losses on seven hotels and two land parcels held for sale.
      With respect to assets held for use, we estimate the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets. We then compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows for each hotel with their respective carrying values to determine if there are indicators of impairment. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered for impairment when the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life is less than the asset’s carrying value. For those assets where there are indicators of impairment, we determine the estimated fair values of these assets using broker valuations or appraisals. The broker valuations of fair value normally use the “cap rate” approach of estimated cash flows, a “per key” approach or a “room revenue multiplier” approach for determining fair value. If the projected future cash flow exceeds the assets carrying value, no adjustment is recorded. During 2005, we recorded $8.3 million of impairment losses, with $7.9 million on six hotels held for use and $0.4 million for net book value write-offs for held for use assets that were replaced in 2005 and had remaining book value. During 2004, we recorded $4.9 million of impairment losses with $4.4 million in adjustments made to the carrying value on two hotels and $0.5 million for net book value write-offs for assets that were replaced in 2004 that had remaining book value.
      Accrual of self-insured obligations — We are self-insured up to certain amounts with respect to employee medical, employee dental, property insurance, general liability insurance, personal injury claims, workers’ compensation, automobile liability and other coverages. We establish reserves for our estimates of the loss that we will ultimately incur on reported claims as well as estimates for claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. Our reserves, which are reflected in other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, are based on actuarial valuations and our history of claims. Our actuaries incorporate historical loss experience

41


Table of Contents

and judgments about the present and expected levels of costs per claim. Trends in actual experience are an important factor in the determination of these estimates. We believe that our estimated reserves for such claims are adequate; however, actual experience in claim frequency and amount could materially differ from our estimates and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow, liquidity and financial condition. As of December 31, 2005, we had an accrued balance of $12.4 million for these expenses.
Income Statement Overview
      The discussion below focuses primarily on our continuing operations. In the continuing operations discussions, we compare the results of operations for the last three years for 75 consolidated hotels that as of December 31, 2005 are classified as assets held for use.
Revenues
      We categorize our revenues into the following three categories:
  •  Room revenues — derived from guest room rentals;
 
  •  Food and beverage revenues — derived from hotel restaurants, room service, hotel catering and meeting room rentals; and
 
  •  Other revenues — derived from guests’ long-distance telephone usage, laundry services, parking services, in-room movie services, vending machine commissions, leasing of hotel space and other miscellaneous revenues.
      Transient revenues, which generally account for approximately 71% of room revenues, are revenues derived from individual guests who stay only for brief periods of time without a long-term contract. Demand from groups makes up approximately 24% of our room revenues while our contract revenues (such as contracts with airlines for crew rooms) account for the remaining 5%.
      We believe revenues in the hotel industry are best explained by the following four key performance indicators:
  •  Occupancy — computed by dividing total room nights sold by the total available room nights;
  •  Average Daily Rate (ADR) — computed by dividing total room revenues by total room nights sold; and
 
  •  Revenue per available room (RevPAR) — computed by dividing total room revenues by total available room nights. RevPAR can also be obtained by multiplying the occupancy by the ADR.
 
  •  RevPAR Index — computed by dividing Lodgian’s RevPAR performance by the industry (or market) RevPAR performance which is a measure of market share.
      To obtain available room nights for a year, we multiply the number of rooms in our portfolio by the number of days in the year. To obtain available room nights for a hotel sold during the year, we multiply the number of rooms in the hotel by the number of days between January 1 and the date the hotel was sold. We have adjusted available rooms accordingly, for the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotel, which was closed throughout 2005 due to hurricane renovations, the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL hotel that reopened December 29, 2005 after the completion of its hurricane repairs, and the Clarksburg, WV hotel, which closed in October 2005 as a result of damage caused from a water main break. The hotel reopened on January 31, 2006.
      These measures are influenced by a variety of factors including national, regional and local economic conditions, the degree of competition with other hotels in the area and changes in travel patterns. The demand for accommodations is also affected by normally recurring seasonal patterns and most of our hotels experience lower occupancy levels in the fall and winter months, November through February, which generally results in lower revenues, lower net income and less cash flow during these months.

Operating expenses
      Operating expenses fall into the following categories:
  •  Direct expenses — these expenses tend to vary with available rooms and occupancy. However, hotel level expenses contain significant elements of fixed costs and, therefore, do not decline proportionately with revenues. Direct expenses are further categorized as follows:
  •  Room expenses — expenses incurred in generating room revenues;
 
  •  Food and beverage expenses — expenses incurred in generating food and beverage revenues; and
 
  •  Other direct expenses — expenses incurred in generating the revenue activities classified in “other revenue”;
  •  Other hotel operating expenses — these expenses include salaries for hotel management, advertising and promotion, franchise fees, repairs and maintenance and utilities;
 
  •  Property and other taxes, insurance and leases — these expenses include equipment, ground and building rentals, insurance, and property, franchise and other taxes;
 
  •  Corporate and other — these expenses include corporate salaries and benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees, directors’ fees, costs for office space and information technology costs. Also included are costs related to compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley legislation;
 
  •  Casualty (gains) losses, net — these expenses include hurricane repair costs and charges related to the assets written off that were damaged during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, netted again any gains realized on the final settlement of our property damage claims;
 
  •  Depreciation and amortization — depreciation of fixed assets (primarily hotel assets) and amortization of deferred franchise fees; and
 
  •  Impairment of long-lived assets — charges which were required to write-down the carrying values of long-term assets to their fair values on assets where the undiscounted cash flows over the life of the asset were less than the carrying value of the asset.
Non-operating items
      Non-operating items include:
  •  Business interruption insurance proceeds represent proceeds from our insurance company for lost profits as a result of a business shutdown. Our 2005 business interruption proceeds relate to the recovery of lost profits and reimbursement for additional expenses incurred as a result of hurricane damage sustained during the 2004 hurricane season;
 
  •  Interest expense and other financing costs includes preferred stock dividend, interest expense which includes amortization of deferred loan costs, and loss on preferred stock redemption;
 
  •  Interest income;
 
  •  Our 30% share of the income or loss of our non-controlling equity interest in one hotel, for which we account under the equity method of accounting for 2004 and prior years but which we wrote off in 2005 as the hotel was surrendered to the lender on November 15, 2005; and
 
  •  Minority interests — our equity partners’ share of the income or loss of the four hotels owned by joint ventures that we consolidate.

      Room revenues increased $10.2 million or 4.4% due to higher occupancy and ADR. Occupancy increased 0.8% and ADR increased 6.3%. Total 2005 revenues increased $6.8 million or 2.2% despite the closure of two hotels (the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL) for hurricane repairs and displacement at eleven other hotels undergoing guest room renovation including the Holiday Inn Clarksburg, WV hotel that was closed in October 2005 for repair work related to a water main break. Displacement refers to lost revenue and profit due to rooms being out of order as a result of renovation or hurricane repairs. Estimated 2005 full year room and total revenue displacement for the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels, as calculated in the business interruption claims, are $12.6 million and $17.0 million. Revenue is considered “displaced” only when a hotel has sold all available rooms and denies additional reservations due to rooms being out of order. We feel this method is conservative, as it does not include estimated other or “soft” displacement associated with a renovation; for example, guests who depart earlier than planned due to the disruption caused by the renovation work, local customers or frequent guests who may choose an alternative hotel during the renovation, or local groups that may not solicit the hotel to house their groups during renovations. The eleven hotels undergoing guest room renovation resulted in $4.0 million in room revenue displacement and $5.0 million in total revenue displacement in 2005. Accordingly, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, total room revenue displacement was $16.6 million and total revenue displacement was $22.0 million.
      For the fourth quarter 2005, total revenues increased $5.2 million or 7.3% despite the closure of two hotels (the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL) for hurricane repairs and displacement at five other hotels undergoing renovation including the Holiday Inn Clarksburg, WV hotel that was closed in October 2005 for repair work related to a water main break. Estimated fourth quarter 2005 room and total revenue displacement for the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels, as calculated in the business interruption claims, are $2.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The five hotels under renovation resulted in $0.7 million in room revenue displacement and $0.9 million in total revenue displacement. Accordingly, for the three months ended December 31, 2005, total room revenue displacement was $3.4 million and total revenue displacement was $4.7 million.
      The table below shows our occupancy, ADR, RevPAR and RevPAR Index (market share) for our continuing operations hotels for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. To illustrate the impact of the two hotels closed throughout most of 2005 due to hurricane damage and the Holiday Inn Clarksburg, WV for repairs related to a water main break on our continuing operations, the impact of renovations underway and completed, and the impact of rebranding, we have presented this information into seven different subsets. These subsets indicate that our Marriott and Hilton branded hotels outperformed our IHG branded hotels. In addition, these subsets indicate that where we have recently completed a major renovation, we saw an increase in RevPAR that is greater than the average increase for all of our continuing operations hotels. During 2005 we had eleven hotels under renovation. Eight of the eleven hotels were IHG hotels. As a result, these eight IHG hotels had 117,149 room nights out of service. This is an average of 321 rooms per day which represents approximately 18.6% of the available inventory at these eight hotels. Capital expenditures for the twelve

months ended December 31, 2005 for these eight IHG hotels were $21.9 million. These renovations had a direct impact on the performance of these IHG hotels during the period.

           (A) Other Brands and Independent Hotels include the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel in Kenner, LA that has seen dramatic increases in Occupancy and ADR, and correspondingly, RevPAR, since September 2005. For this grouping of hotels, after adjusting for the impact of the Radisson hotel, RevPAR would have increased 0.8% for the year and RevPAR Index would have decreased 3.8%.
      Our competitive set RevPAR growth as compared to the lodging industry as a whole has been trending positive over the past eight quarters, which we believe is a result of the improving conditions in the markets in which we operate. As shown below, in the first quarter 2004 the Smith Travel Research (“STR”) market segments in which we operates grew RevPAR at only 58.4% of the U.S. industry average. By the third quarter 2005 and continuing into the fourth quarter 2005, the STR market segments in which we operate had RevPAR growth that exceeded the U.S. average at 101.2% and 101.0%, respectively. We are encouraged that the markets in which we operate are now performing at levels consistent with the national average. As we complete our renovations we will be positioned to improve our RevPAR indices.

  (A)  The 69 hotels in the 4th quarter 2005 include the 75 hotels in our continuing operations portfolio less the hotels in West Palm Beach; Melbourne; Windsor, Canada; Pinehurst; Clarksburg and Columbus.
      Food and beverage revenues declined $2.9 million or 4.1% from 2004 due to the continued closure of the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels. After adjusting for the impact of the two hotels closed for hurricane renovations, food and beverage revenues were essentially the same as in 2004. Other revenues, which declined by $0.4 million or 4.1%, were affected by a decline in

telephone revenues as a result of the increased usage of cell phones by our guests as well as the availability of free high speed internet access at many of our hotels, and the continued closure of the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels.

      Rooms direct operating expenses increased $2.3 million or 3.6% from 2004 due to higher revenues. Total direct operating expenses increased $1.2 million or 1.0% from 2004 while total revenues increased $6.8 million or 2.2%. Total direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 38.9% in 2005 as compared to 39.3% in 2004 primarily as a result of cost containment initiatives undertaken in 2005.
      Room expenses on an actual cost per occupied room basis increased from $21.93 in 2004 to $23.13 in 2005 or 5.5% primarily as a result of increases in payroll and benefit costs (up 3.7% or 42.5% of the total increase), guest and operating supplies and linen replacement costs due to mandatory program changes required by our franchisors (11.7% of the total increase), credit card, travel agent and other commissions (30.0% of the total increase), and enhanced complimentary food and beverage items to guests enrolled in our brand loyalty programs (17.5% of the total increase). Per occupied room payroll expenses excluding taxes and benefits were up 2.6% while payroll taxes and benefits increased 6.9% as a percent of payroll dollars. Health insurance costs as a percentage of payroll dollars increased approximately 36% in 2005 versus 2004.
      Food and beverage expenses decreased $1.3 million or 2.5% from 2004 as a result of lower food and beverage revenues. The food and beverage profit margin declined 120 basis points as a result of the displaced ala carte and banquet revenues due to the ongoing property renovations as well as higher health insurance costs. After adjusting for the impact of the two closed Florida hotels, the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL, the food and beverage profit margin declined by 90 basis points from 2004.

      Other hotel operating costs increased $7.3 million or 7.8% from 2004 as a result of increases in the following costs:
  •  General and administrative costs increased $1.7 million or 8.3%, primarily due to $0.3 million of increased costs related to our property management system conversions, $0.9 million of increased costs related to group medical insurance claims and additional payroll costs, a $0.3 million increase in vacation pay accruals and the $0.5 million write-off of the Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines receivables as a result of their respective Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings;
 
  •  Advertising and promotion expenses increased $1.7 million or 11.1% primarily due to $1.5 million of increased costs related to the addition of sales personnel and sales programs to promote our newly renovated properties including the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels, and $0.1 million in added costs related to increased group medical insurance claims;
 
  •  Franchise fees increased $0.9 million or 4.4% primarily as a result of increased revenues. As a percentage of room revenues, 2005 franchise fees were unchanged as compared to 2004 at 9.2%; and
 
  •  Utilities costs increased $2.1 million or 11.7% primarily as a result of significantly higher utility rates.
      Property and other taxes, insurance and leases increased $1.1 million or 5.3% in 2005 primarily because in 2004 expenses were reduced by the settlement of a deferred ground rent obligation for $1.0 million less than what had been previously expensed.
      Corporate and other expenses increased $4.2 million or 25.2% primarily due to $0.6 million in severance costs related to the resignations of our former CEO, COO and CFO including the acceleration of the unvested portion of our former CEO’s restricted stock, $1.1 million of expenses related to hiring costs including signing bonus, restricted stock grants and moving allowance for our new president and chief executive officer, a $0.9 million write-off of the receivable from and the investment in the 30% minority-owned Holiday Inn City Center Columbus, OH. Additionally, we incurred approximately $1.0 million in added legal costs including

the $0.5 million settlement for the two Kansas hotels surrendered to the bond Trustee in early 2006. Additionally, expenses were higher year over year because in 2004 we recorded a reduction in our sales and use tax audit reserve that resulted in our 2004 expenses being $1.5 million lower. We realized savings in 2005 on lower Directors & Officers (“D&O”) premiums due to favorable trends in the D&O markets, lower post-emergence Chapter 11 expenses as we have now completed the bankruptcy claims distribution process, lower audit fees, including attestation fees, as a result of the second year of Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”), and lower costs related to SOX compliance. In 2005, costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley totaled approximately $0.8 million.
      Casualty (gains) losses, net represent costs related to hurricane damage sustained in the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons offset by gains related to the final settlement of the property damage claims at five hotels. In 2005, we recognized a net casualty gain of $30.9 million. We recorded a $31.3 million in casualty gains on the settlement of property damage claims on five hotels: (1) the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL; (2) the Holiday Inn University Mall Pensacola, FL; (3) the Holiday Inn Winter Haven, FL; (4) the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL; and (5) the Holiday Inn Express University Mall Pensacola, FL, which was offset by $0.4 million of hurricane repair expenses on the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel in Kenner, LA and other continuing operations hotels. In 2004, we recorded $2.3 million in expenses related to the write-off the net book value of our damaged assets and hurricane repair costs.
      Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $3.0 million or 11.2% primarily due to the completion of numerous renovation projects, thereby resulting in higher depreciation expense related to newly capitalized costs.
      The impairment of long-lived assets of $8.3 million recorded during 2005 represents $7.9 million in reductions made to the carrying values of six hotels held for use, to bring them in line with their estimated fair values, and $0.4 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment net book value write-offs for items that were replaced in 2005. Consistent with our accounting policy on asset impairment and in accordance with SFAS No. 144, we periodically evaluate our real estate assets to determine if there has been any impairment in the carrying value. We record impairment charges if there are indicators of impairment and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. With respect to assets held for use, we estimate the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets. We then compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows for each hotel with their respective carrying values to determine if there are indicators of impairment. If there are indicators of impairment, we determine the estimated fair values of these assets in conjunction with real estate brokers. These broker valuations of fair value normally use the “cap rate” approach of estimated cash flows, a “per key” approach, or a “room revenue” multiplier approach for determining fair value. As a result of these evaluations, we recorded impairment charges in 2005 as follows:
        a) $1.6 million on the Holiday Inn Lawrence, KS hotel due to a reduced fair value appraisal;
 
        b) $1.1 million on the Park Inn Brunswick, GA to write-off the capital improvements made on this property related to the franchise conversion that did not result in an increase in the fair value of this hotel;
 
        c) $0.9 million on the Holiday Inn Hamburg, NY hotel as the undiscounted future cash flows were less than the asset’s carrying value and the resulting broker opinion required a write-down of the carrying value of the asset to its fair value;
 
        d) $1.7 million on the Holiday Inn Sheffield, AL as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2006 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s carrying value;
 
        e) $1.8 million on the Fairfield Inn Valdosta, GA as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2006 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s carrying value; and
 
        f) $1.0 million on the Fairfield Inn Merrimack, NH hotel as the undiscounted future cash flows were less than the asset’s carrying value and the resulting broker opinion required a write-down of the carrying value of the asset value to its fair value.

      Business interruption proceeds relate to the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels that were closed as a result of damage sustained in the 2004 hurricanes. Business interruption proceeds represent funds received or amounts for which proofs of loss had been signed for the periods from September 2004 to November 2005 for the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL hotel and September 2004 to December 2005 for the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotel. At December 31, 2005, $2.9 million was accrued for business interruption proceeds with a corresponding insurance receivable on our consolidated balance sheet.
      The $9.4 million of Preferred Stock dividend costs in 2004 relate to dividends on the Preferred Stock issued on November 25, 2002, all of which were either exchanged for common stock immediately following our equity offering on June 25, 2004 or redeemed using proceeds of that offering on July 26, 2004.
      Interest expense decreased $14.1 million or 33.7% in 2005 primarily due to increased costs in 2004 related to the following: 1) purchase of a $1.9 million swaption contract, 2) the write-off of $6.7 million of deferred loan costs due to the extinguishment of the Merrill Lynch Mortgage, Lehman Debt, and Macon Debt, 3) $2.7 million of prepayment penalties incurred for early retirement on the Merrill Lynch Mortgage debt, and 4) $0.8 million in loan origination costs incurred as part of the 2004 debt refinance.
      The 2004 loss on preferred stock redemption of $6.1 million includes the 4% prepayment premium of $1.6 million that was recognized when we exchanged shares of our common stock for a portion of the outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock and the 4% prepayment premium of $4.5 million, which was paid when the remaining shares of our Preferred Stock were redeemed on July 26, 2004.
      Minority interests represent the third party owners’ share of the net income (losses) of the joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. The $10.3 million increase in minority interest adjustments primarily resulted from the casualty gain realized on the property damage settlement and the business interruption proceeds realized on the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotel.

      The $9.7 million or 4.4% increase in room revenues resulted from increases in occupancy and ADR. Occupancy increased 1.8% and ADR increased 3.3%. While occupancy increased 1.8% from 2003, it was negatively impacted by renovations being performed at 16 hotels during 2004, by lost business leading up to the hurricanes that hit the Southeastern United States in the third quarter and by the continued closure of two hotels (the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL) as they underwent hurricane renovation work. We made substantial progress on our renovation program in 2004, but with many rooms out of service while under renovation, we experienced substantial room revenue displacement. The increase in ADR results from increasing demand for hotels as the economy improved and the shift away from Internet sales that involve more heavily discounted room rates. As we complete our renovation programs, we anticipate our occupancy and ADR performance will continue to improve.
      Food and beverage revenues increased $1.6 million or 2.3% from 2003 despite the continued closure of our Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels. Other revenues, which decreased by 2.8%, were affected by a decline in telephone revenues as a result of the increased usage of cell phones by our guests as well as the availability of free high speed internet access at many of our hotels, and the continued closure of our the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels.

      Other hotel operating costs increased $4.7 million or 5.3% from 2003 as a result of increases in the following costs:
  •  General and administrative costs increased $2.0 million or 10.7% primarily due $0.9 million in costs related to salary and employee benefits, $0.2 million in costs related to labor union contract negotiations and $0.6 million in higher bad debt costs related to airline contracts;
 
  •  Advertising and promotion expenses increased $0.5 million or 3.4% due to increased costs of advertising marketing research materials and salary and benefit increases;
 
  •  Franchise fees increased $1.4 million or 7.0% primarily as a result of increased revenues. As a percentage of room revenues, franchise fees were 9.2% of revenues in 2004 as compared to 9.0% in 2003, largely due to increased costs of brand loyalty programs; and
 
  •  Repairs and maintenance costs increased $0.6 million or 3.6% primarily as a result of our continued focus on our preventative maintenance programs.
      Property and other taxes, insurance and leases decreased $3.1 million or 12.6% from 2003 primarily due to savings of $0.5 million for successful property tax assessment appeals; insurance premium and self-insured loss savings of $1.1 million due to favorable loss experience (exclusive of the hurricanes) and a stabilization of the insurance premium markets; and ground rent savings of $1.0 million due to the settlement of a deferred ground rent obligation.
      Corporate and other expenses decreased $3.7 million or 17.9% from 2003 primarily as a result of reduced post-emergence legal, professional and other costs related to the Chapter 11 proceedings and a reduction in a

sales and use tax return audit reserve of $1.5 million due to favorable audit settlements. Costs incurred related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance totaled approximately $1.4 million.
      Casualty (gains) losses, net which represent costs related to hurricane damage, were $2.3 million higher in 2004 as a result of eight properties that incurred, in the aggregate, $5.6 million in costs of which $1.9 million was for hurricane repair expenses and approximately $3.7 million was for net book value write-offs of destroyed assets caused by the hurricanes that hit the Southeastern United States in August and September 2004, offset by expected insurance proceeds of $3.3 million. As of December 31, 2004, $2.0 million had been released by our insurance company as advances for repairs on the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels. All advances are forwarded to our lenders and we receive reimbursements from the lender held escrows as we incur operating and capital expenditures. At December 31, 2004, we had received $1.4 million in reimbursements from our lenders. Until the ultimate claims are settled, we will continue to recognize the advances received from the insurance company as a liability without offset to the insurance receivable recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, at December 31, 2004, we have an insurance receivable balance of $3.3 million and a liability for insurance advances of $2.0 million.
      Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $1.8 million or 6.2% from 2003 as a result of our reduced asset base on the continuing operations hotels due to $8.4 million in asset write-downs for impairment charges in 2003 and the reduced depreciation charges for assets that had a fresh start life of one year and are now fully depreciated.
      The impairment of long-lived assets of $4.9 million recorded during 2004 represents $4.4 million in adjustments made to the carrying values of two hotels held for use, to reduce them to their estimated fair values, and $0.5 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment net book value write-offs for items that were replaced in 2004. Consistent with our accounting policy on asset impairment and in accordance with SFAS No. 144, we periodically evaluate our real estate assets to determine if there has been any impairment in the carrying value. We record impairment charges if there are indicators of impairment, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values and the assets’ carrying values are in excess of their estimated fair values. With respect to assets held for use, we estimate the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets. We then compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows for each hotel with their respective carrying values to determine if there are indicators of impairment. If there are indicators of impairment, we determine the estimated fair values of these assets in conjunction with real estate brokers. These broker valuations of fair value normally use the “cap rate” approach of estimated cash flows, a “per key valuation” approach, or a “room revenue multiplier” approach for determining fair value. As a result of these evaluations, we recorded impairment charges in 2004 as follows:
  a) $3.7 million on the Park Inn Brunswick, GA hotel, which was converted from a Holiday Inn, as this hotel lost the business of a significant military group contract and the conversion of this hotel to a Park Inn was not expected to improve operating results; and
 
  b) $0.6 million on the Holiday Inn Lawrence, KS hotel as the financial performance of this hotel continued to decline as it is in need of a major renovation which is not economically justifiable as management was notified the franchise agreement would not be renewed.

      The 2003 $0.4 million gain on asset dispositions related to condemnation proceeds for land seized at two of our hotels.
      The Preferred Stock dividend relates to dividends on the Preferred Stock issued on November 25, 2002. Dividends for the period January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003 totaled $15.7 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS No. 150”), effective for us on July 1, 2003, dividends relating to the period after the effective date are reported as interest expense. Dividends for the period prior to the effective date continue to be shown as a deduction from retained earnings with no effect on our results of operations. As a result, the $8.1 million dividend accrued for the period July 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003 is reported in interest expense while the $7.6 million dividend accrued for the periods January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003 is shown as a deduction from retained earnings. Preferred Stock dividends for 2004 were $9.4 million. A portion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of our common stock immediately following our equity offering on June 25, 2004 and all remaining shares of our Preferred Stock shares were redeemed on July 26, 2004 using a portion of the proceeds of that offering.
      Interest expense increased $14.1 million in 2004 due to the purchase of a $1.9 million swaption contract, the write-off of $6.7 million of deferred loan costs due to the extinguishment of the Merrill Lynch Mortgage, Lehman Debt, and Macon Debt, $2.7 million of prepayment penalties for early retirement on the Merrill Lynch Mortgage debt, the expensing of $0.8 million in loan origination costs incurred as part of the Refinancing Debt and additional mortgage interest in 2004 on the former Lehman hotels since we did not pay interest expense on these hotels during 2003 while they were in Chapter 11.
      Loss on preferred stock redemption of $6.1 million includes the 4% prepayment premium of $1.6 million that was recognized when we exchanged shares of our common stock for some of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the 4% prepayment premium of $4.5 million that we paid when we redeemed the balance of the outstanding Preferred Stock shares on July 26, 2004.
      Reorganization items for 2003 of $1.4 million represent Chapter 11 expenses incurred between January 1, 2003 and May 22, 2003 relating to the 18 hotels which emerged from Chapter 11 on May 22, 2003.
      Minority interests represent the third party owners’ share of the net losses of the joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. The $0.6 million reduction in losses attributable to minority interests primarily resulted from the reduction in impairment charges at our Crowne Plaza Macon, GA hotel in 2004 as compared to 2003, partially offset by hurricane related losses in 2004 at our Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotel.
Results of Operations — Discontinued Operations
      During 2005, we sold eight hotels, comprising an aggregate 2,073 rooms. The aggregate net proceeds from the sales were approximately $36 million of which $29.2 million was used to pay down debt and the balance

was used for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The aggregate gain from the sale of these assets was $6.9 million. During 2004, we sold 11 hotels, comprising 2,076 rooms, and two parcels of land. The aggregate net proceeds from these sales were approximately $42.5 million of which $37.4 million was used to pay down debt and the balance was used for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. The aggregate gain from the sale of these assets was $9.2 million.
      We recorded impairment on assets held for sale in 2005 and 2004. The impairment of long-lived assets held for sale of $4.0 million recorded in 2005 represents the write-down of five hotels and one land parcel held for sale. The fair values of the assets held for sale are based on the estimated selling prices less estimated costs to sell. We determine the estimated selling prices in conjunction with real estate brokers. The estimated selling costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales. We record impairment charges and write down respective hotel asset carrying values if their carrying values exceed the estimated selling prices less costs to sell. As a result of these evaluations, during 2005, we recorded impairment charges as follows:
  a) an additional $0.3 million on the Holiday Inn Express Gadsden, AL to reflect the estimated selling costs of this sale as the hotel was identified for sale in January 2005 and to reflect the write-off of capital improvements spent on this hotel for franchisor compliance that did not add incremental value or revenue generating capacity to the property;
 
  b) an additional $1.7 million on the Holiday Inn Rolling Meadows, IL to reflect the lowered selling price of the hotel;
 
  c) an additional $0.3 million on the Holiday Inn Morgantown, WV to reflect the reduced selling price and the additional charges to dispose of this hotel in February 2005;
 
  d) an additional $0.4 million on the Mt. Laurel, NJ land parcel to reflect the lowered estimated selling price of the land parcel;
 
  e) $1.3 million on the Holiday Inn St. Louis, MO to reflect the reduced selling price of the hotel; and
 
  f) $0.1 million on the Holiday Inn McKnight Pittsburgh, PA as the hotel was identified for sale in the fourth quarter 2005 and its carrying value was adjusted to the hotel’s selling price less selling costs.
      The impairment of long-lived assets held for sale of $7.2 million recorded in 2004 represents $7.2 million in the write-down of nine hotels. Consistent with our accounting policy on asset impairment and in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the reclassification of these assets from held for use to held for sale necessitated a determination of fair value less costs of sale. The fair values of the assets held for sale are based on the estimated selling prices less estimated costs to sell. We determine the estimated selling prices in conjunction with real estate brokers. The estimated selling costs are based on our experience with similar asset sales. We record impairment charges and write down respective hotel asset carrying values if their carrying values exceed the estimated selling prices less costs to sell. As a result of these evaluations, during 2004, we recorded impairment charges as follows:
  a) an additional $0.1 million on the Holiday Inn Express Pensacola, FL to reflect the loss recorded on sale of this hotel in March 2004;
 
  b) an additional $0.5 million on the downtown Plaza Hotel Cincinnati, OH to reflect the lowered estimated selling price of the hotel and the loss recorded on sale of the hotel in April 2004;
 
  c) an additional $0.4 million on the Holiday Inn Morgantown, WV as capital improvements were spent on this hotel for franchise compliance that did not add incremental value or revenue generating capacity to the property;
 
  d) an additional $0.7 million on the Holiday Inn Memphis, TN to reflect the reduced selling price and additional charges to dispose of this hotel in December 2004;
 
  e) an additional $1.0 million on the Holiday Inn Austin (South), TX to reflect a reduction in the estimated selling price due to feedback from potential buyers that this hotel had limited future franchise options due to its exterior corridors;

Table of Contents

  f) $1.7 million on the Holiday Inn Rolling Meadows, IL to record the difference between the estimated selling price and the carrying value of this hotel consistent with an offer received on the hotel;
 
  g) $0.4 million on the Holiday Inn Florence, KY primarily related to disposal costs incurred on sale of the hotel in December 2004;
 
  h) $1.1 million on the Holiday Inn Express Gadsden, AL as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2005 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s carrying value. The estimated selling price of this hotel was negatively impacted by its franchise agreement expiring in August 2005 and the franchisor indicating that it will not renew the agreement;
 
  i) $0.9 million on the Holiday Inn St. Louis, MO as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2005 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s previously adjusted carrying value;
 
  j) $0.6 million on the Quality Inn Hotel & Conference Center Metairie, LA as capital improvements were spent on health and safety items that added no incremental market value or revenue generating capacity at this hotel, resulting in the recording of impairment to bring the asset’s carrying value in line with the fair value; and
 
  k) additional adjustments on four other assets aggregating to a reduction of impairment charges of $0.1 million.
      Historical operating results and gains are reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations. See notes Note 1 and Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Income Taxes
      Because we reported net losses for federal income tax purposes, we paid no federal income tax for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2005, we had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $306 million for federal income tax purposes, which will expire in 2006 through 2024, excluding an estimated tax net loss of $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. We estimate that $10.9 million of NOLs will expire in 2006. Our 2002 reorganization under Chapter 11 and our 2004 secondary stock offering resulted in “ownership changes,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of the most recent Section 382 ownership change, our ability to use these net operating loss carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation of $8.3 million. At December 31, 2005, we established a valuation allowance of $118.2 million to fully offset our net deferred tax asset. In addition, approximately $110.0 million of the $118.2 million of the deferred tax asset remaining is attributable to pre-emergence deferred tax assets and may be booked to additional paid in capital in future periods.
      In addition, we recognized an income tax provision of $8.2 million for 2005, and $0.2 million for 2004.
EBITDA
      Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a widely-used industry measure of performance and also is used in the assessment of hotel property values. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be used as a substitute for measures such as net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or other measures computed in accordance with GAAP. Depreciation and amortization are significant non-cash expenses for us as a result of the high proportion of our assets which are long-lived, including property, plant and equipment. We depreciate property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and amortize deferred financing and franchise fees over the term of the applicable agreements. We believe that EBITDA provides pertinent information to investors as an additional indicator of our performance.

Quarterly Results of Operations
      The following table presents certain quarterly data for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2005. The data have been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider to be necessary to present this information fairly, when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. The results of operations for certain quarters may vary from the amounts previously reported on our Forms 10-Q filed for prior quarters due to the timing of our classification of assets held for sale. The allocation of results of operations between our continuing operations and discontinued operations, at the time of the quarterly filings, was based on the assets held for sale, if any, as of the dates of those filings. This table represents the comparative quarterly operating results for the 75 hotels classified in continuing operations at December 31, 2005.

      Historically, our operations and related revenues and operating results have varied substantially from quarter to quarter. We expect these variations to continue for a variety of reasons, primarily seasonality. Due to the fixed nature of certain expenses, such as marketing and rent, our operating expenses do not vary as significantly from quarter to quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
      We use our cash flows primarily for operating expenses, debt service, and capital expenditures. Currently, our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from operations, proceeds of insurance claims relating principally to damage caused by the 2004 and 2005 hurricanes and existing cash balances. Additionally, on March 1, 2006, we completed the refinance of three other hotels, all of which had higher than current market rate mortgages and received excess proceeds of $13.4 million.
      Cash flows from operations may be adversely affected by factors such as a reduction in demand for lodging or displacement from large scale renovations being performed at our hotels. To the extent that significant amounts of our accounts receivable are due from airline companies, a further downturn in the airline industry also could materially and adversely affect the collectibility of our accounts receivable, and hence our liquidity. At December 31, 2005, airline receivables represented approximately 20.7% of our

59


Table of Contents

accounts receivable, net of allowances. A further downturn in the airline industry could also affect our revenues by decreasing the aggregate levels of demand for travel. We expect that the sale of certain assets will provide additional cash to pay down outstanding debt, fund a portion of our capital expenditures and provide additional working capital. Eight hotels were sold in 2005. At December 31, 2005, we had three hotels and one land parcel classified as held for sale. In the first two months of 2006 we identified an additional five hotels for sale. As of March 1, 2006, we had eight hotels and one land parcel as held for sale. Of the 20 hotels, two land parcels and the office building that were sold between November 1, 2003 and March 1, 2006, the aggregate net proceeds received from these sales were $91.2 million, of which $71.7 million was used to pay down debt and the balance was used for general corporate purposes including capital expenditures.
      Our ability to make scheduled debt service payments and fund operations and capital expenditures depends on our future performance and financial results, the successful implementation of our business strategy and, to a certain extent, the general condition of the lodging industry and the general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory environment. In addition, our ability to refinance our indebtedness depends to a certain extent on these factors as well. Many factors affecting our future performance and financial results, including the severity and duration of macro-economic downturns, are beyond our control. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
      We intend to continue to use our cash flow to make scheduled debt service payments and fund operations and capital expenditures and build cash reserves and, therefore, do not currently have plans to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
      On June 30, 2005, we completed the final distribution of shares and cash to general unsecured creditors in connection with the conclusion of our bankruptcy claim distribution process. Because our final distribution was less than the liability established at the time of the stock offering to pay such claims, we have relieved the excess liability related to the bankruptcy claims and credited additional Paid-in Capital. We do not anticipate any additional material charges related to our Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
      In accordance with GAAP, all assets held for sale, including assets that would normally be classified as long-term assets in the normal course of business, were reported as “assets held for sale” in current assets. Similarly, all liabilities related to assets held for sale were reported as “liabilities related to assets held for sale” in current liabilities, including debt that would otherwise be classified as long-term liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
      At December 31, 2005, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $20.8 million compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in working capital was primarily to the result of the refinancings of our Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC hotel, which generated approximately $8 million of net proceeds in excess of the payoff of the old loan and the refinance of our Holiday Inn Phoenix West, AZ hotel, which generated approximately $8 million of net proceeds in excess of the payoff of the old loan.
      Two of our hotels, the Quality Inn & Conference Center in Metairie, LA and the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel in Kenner, LA, were damaged by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The Quality Inn & Conference Center in Metairie, LA is held for sale and is included in discontinued operations and is currently open for business. The Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel is included in our continuing operations and is currently open for business. The insurance deductible on the Quality Inn & Conference Center Metairie, LA is $0.5 million and $0.7 million on the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel. Eight of our hotels were damaged by the hurricanes that hit the southeastern United States in August and September 2004. As of December 31, 2005 we had received $0.5 million in advances for damage related to the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel Kenner, LA and $1.5 million related to the Quality Inn & Conference Center Metairie, LA. Two hotels, the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels, suffered extensive damage and were closed for renovation in September 2004. The Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL reopened on December 29, 2005 and the Melbourne property reopened as a Crowne Plaza on January 24, 2006. In the fourth quarter 2005 we settled the property damage claims on five hotels including the: 1) Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL, 2) Holiday Inn Melbourne, FL (which converted to a Crowne Plaza), 3) Holiday Inn Winter Haven, FL, 4) Holiday Inn Pensacola, FL and 5) Holiday Inn Express Pensacola, FL. The settlement of the property claims for these five hotels resulted in a casualty gain of $31.3 million, offset by hurricane

repair expenses of $0.4 million on the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel Kenner, LA and other continuing operations hotels. Approximately $46.7 million was spent on the repair and renovation of these hotels and we received proceeds for this property damage totaling approximately $37 million through March 1, 2006.
      We have recorded $9.6 million in business interruption proceeds for the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels. For the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL hotel, $5.3 million was recorded for the period September 2004 through November 2005. For the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotel, $4.3 million was recorded for the period September 2004 through December 2005. We had received $6.7 million in proceeds or had signed proofs of loss for $2.9 million which we established as a receivable from the insurance company as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, $2.9 million was included on our consolidated balance sheet for receivables related to business interruption proceeds.
      At December 31, 2005, we had $0.7 million of liabilities for insurance advances on our continuing operations balance sheet related to outstanding insurance claims. Of this amount, $0.2 million relates to the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL for an open mold policy claim from the 2004 hurricane season that has not yet been finalized and $0.5 million related to our Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel claim for Hurricane Katrina. In our discontinued operations, we are carrying a liability of $1.5 million for insurance advances for our claim related to the Quality Inn & Conference Center Metairie, LA hotel from Hurricane Katrina.
      For the year ended December 31, 2005, we spent approximately $83 million on capital expenditures for our continuing operations, which includes $41.8 million for hurricane repairs and $0.8 million on our discontinued operations. During 2006, we expect to spend $37.0 million in capital expenditures for our hotels, which includes committed hurricane repair capital expenditures of approximately $14 million.
      We believe that the combination of our current cash, cash flows from operations, capital expenditure escrows and asset sales will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 24 months.
      Our ability to meet our long-term cash needs is dependent on the continuation and extent of the recovery of the economy and the lodging industry, improved operating results, the successful implementation of our portfolio improvement strategy and our ability to obtain third party sources of capital on favorable terms when and as needed. In the short term, we continue to diligently monitor our costs. Our future financial needs and sources of working capital are, however, subject to uncertainty, and we can provide no assurance that we will have sufficient liquidity to be able to meet our operating expenses, debt service requirements, including scheduled maturities, and planned capital expenditures. We could lose the right to operate certain hotels under nationally recognized brand names, and furthermore, the termination of one or more franchise agreements could trigger defaults and acceleration under one or more loan agreements as well as obligations to pay liquidated damages under the franchise agreements if we are unable to find a suitable replacement franchisor. See “Item 1A — Risk Factor” for further discussion of conditions that could adversely affect our estimates of future liquidity needs and sources of working capital.
Cash Flow
      Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Therefore, amounts for certain captions will not agree with respective data in the balance sheets and related statements of operations. In 2005, we revised the classification of changes in restricted cash balances to present such changes as an investing activity. We previously presented such changes as an operating activity.
      Also in 2005, we revised the presentation of property and equipment purchased on account to present such amounts as non-cash investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The revised presentation was reflected for all three years in the period ended December 31, 2005.
Operating activities
      Operating activities generated cash of $28.7 million in 2005 and generated $26.0 million of cash in 2004. The increase in cash generated by operations is attributable to the improved performance of our hotel portfolio, partially offset by the closure of two hurricane-damaged properties throughout most of 2005 and

61


Table of Contents

fewer hotels in our portfolio due to the sale of eight hotels in 2005. Operating activities generated cash of $15.0 million in 2003.
Investing activities
      Investing activities used $13.8 million of cash in 2005 and used $20.5 million of cash in 2004. Capital improvements in 2005 were $86.5 million compared to $37.3 million in 2004. Proceeds from sale of assets were $36.4 million in 2005 and $42.5  million in 2004. We purchased one hotel in 2004 for $5.4 million including closing costs. Withdrawals from capital expenditure reserves with our lenders were $15.4 million in 2005 as compared to deposits of $19.0 million in 2004. In 2005, we were advanced $26.2 million for property damage claims related to seven of our hotels that were damaged by hurricanes in 2004 and 2005. In 2004, we were advanced $2.0 million for property damage claims related to two of our hurricane-damaged hotels. Investing activities used $3.4 million of cash in 2003.
Financing activities
      Financing activities used cash of $32.2 million in 2005 and provided cash of $19.8 million in 2004. In 2005, we refinanced mortgages on the Holiday Inn West Phoenix, AZ and the Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC and encumbered the SpringHill Suites Pinehurst, NC purchased in 2004, resulting in gross proceeds of $32.2 million. Additionally, we made $63.6 million in principal payments. In 2004, we received $370.0 million of proceeds related to the Refinancing Debt in 2004. We raised $175.9 million in the common stock offering on June 25, 2004, of which $114.0 million was used to redeem the preferred stock. Principal payments on long term debt were $406.5 million, including the repayment of the debt we entered into when we emerged from Chapter 11, replaced by the Refinancing Debt on June 25, 2004, as part of our common stock offering. In 2003, financing activities used cash of $11.8 million.
      The payments of deferred loan costs in 2005 were $0.9 million related to the finance of our SpringHill Suites Pinehurst, NC hotel and the refinance of our Holiday Inn West Phoenix, AZ and Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC hotels. Payments of deferred loan costs in 2004 were $5.4 million and relate to the Refinancing Debt. In 2003 the deferred loan costs were $4.8 million related to the hotels that were refinanced when they emerged from Chapter 11.

Mortgage Debt
      On June 25, 2004, we closed on the $370 million Refinancing Debt secured by 64 of our hotels, of which, as of March 1, 2006, ten hotels have since been sold and two hotels have been released through debt paydown. We refinanced (1) our outstanding mortgage debt (“Merrill Lynch Exit Financing”) with Merrill Lynch Mortgage which, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $290.9 million, (2) certain of our Lehman Financing outstanding mortgage debt which, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $56.1 million, and (3) our outstanding mortgage debt on the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Macon, Georgia, in which we own a 60% interest that, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $6.9 million. As part of this 2004 refinancing, we incurred the following expenses which were charged to other interest expense: (1) prepayment penalties totaling $2.7 million on the Merrill Lynch Exit Financing (as well as $0.2 million allocated to discontinued operations); (2) write-off of deferred loan costs of $3.4 million, $3.3 million and nil related to the Merrill Lynch Exit Financing, Lehman Financing, and Macon debt, respectively, (plus the write-off of $0.3 million and $0.4 million of deferred loan costs for Merrill Lynch and Lehman, respectively, which were allocated to discontinued operations); (3) $1.9 million for the purchase of a swaption contract to hedge against rising interest rates until the interest rate on the fixed rate Refinancing Debt was determined; and (4) $1.1 million of loan origination fees incurred on the Floating Rate Debt, of which $0.8 million was allocated to continuing operations and $0.3 million was allocated to discontinued operations.
      Immediately after closing, the Refinancing Debt consisted of a loan of $110 million bearing a floating rate of interest (the “Floating Rate Debt”), which as of March 1, 2006 was secured by 18 of our hotels (29 hotels at the loan’s inception), and four loans totaling $260 million each bearing a fixed interest rate of 6.58% (the “Fixed Rate Debt”) and secured, in the aggregate, by 34 of our hotels (35 hotels at the loan’s inception). On October 17, 2005, we released the Holiday Inn St. Paul, MN hotel as collateral under one of the Fixed Rate Loans in exchange for debt paydown of $2.1 million. On February 8, 2006, we released the Fairfield Inn Jackson, TN hotel as collateral under the Floating Rate Loan in exchange for debt paydown of $1.6 million.

Prior to the securitization of the four fixed rate loans, these loans were subject to cross-collateralization provisions. As of March 1, 2006, all four fixed rate loans had been securitized.
      Each of the four fixed rate loans (“Fixed Rate Loan”) comprising the Fixed Rate Debt is a five-year loan and bears a fixed rate of interest of 6.58%. Except for certain defeasance provisions, we may not prepay the Fixed Rate Debt except during the 60 days prior to maturity. We may, after the earlier of 48 months after the closing of any Fixed Rate Loan or the second anniversary of the securitization of any Fixed Rate Loan, defease such Fixed Rate Loan, in whole or in part.
      On April 29, 2005, we entered into an amendment with Merrill Lynch to modify certain of the provisions of the Floating Rate Loan. Under the terms of the amendment, Merrill Lynch agreed to allow the release of the Holiday Inn St. Louis, MO as collateral under the loan in exchange for debt paydown of $4.8 million. Approximately $2.6 million of this amount was paid through the release of certain reserves held on other properties which were sold or were expected to be sold in the near future. We paid the balance of the release price, approximately $2.2 million, from our cash balances. In addition to the release of the St. Louis property from the collateral pool, the amendment provided for the following:
  •  Extension of the initial maturity from June 30, 2006 to January 11, 2007. We still maintain the option, subject to certain conditions, to extend the loan for up to three years from the new initial maturity date in January 2007;
 
  •  Three additional properties in the floating rate pool are now classified as “sale properties.” Once classified as “sale properties” a hotel will be able to be released from the collateral pool by payment of the greater of (a) 100% of the aggregate allocated loan amount (lowered from 125%) and (b) the net sales proceeds of the property;
 
  •  The prepayment penalty dropped to 1% in July 2005 and has been further reduced for the three additional sale properties after July 2005 to 0.5%; and
 
  •  Certain required capital and environmental repairs under the original Floating Rate Loan have been determined not to be necessary and have been removed as requirements under the loan.
      As a result of these modifications in the terms of the Floating Rate Loan, the Floating Rate Debt has an initial maturity of January 2007. The Floating Rate Debt is a 21/2 year loan (including the six month extension) with three one-year extension options and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.40%. The first extension option will be available to us only if no defaults exist and we have entered into the requisite interest rate cap agreement. The second and third extension options will be available to us only if no defaults exist, a minimum debt yield ratio of 13% is met, and minimum debt service coverage ratios of 1.3x for the second extension and 1.35x for the third extension are met. An extension fee of 0.25% of the outstanding Floating Rate Debt is payable if we opt to exercise each of the second and third extensions. We may prepay the Floating Rate Debt in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment penalty in the amount of 1% of the amount prepaid. However, after January 11, 2007, there is no prepayment penalty associated with the Floating Rate Loan.
      The Floating Rate Debt provides that when either (i) the debt yield ratio for the hotels for the trailing 12-month period is below 9% during the first year, 10% during the next 18 months and 11%, 12% and 13% during each of the next three extension periods, or (ii) to the extent extended, the debt service coverage ratio is less than 1.30x in the second extension period or 1.35x in the third extension period, excess cash flows produced by the mortgaged hotels securing the applicable loan (after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves, service fees, principal and interest) must be deposited in a restricted cash account. For each Fixed Rate Loan, when the debt yield ratio for the hotels for the trailing 12-month period is below 9% during the first year, 10% during the next year and 11%, 12% and 13% during each of the next three years, excess cash flows produced by the mortgaged hotels securing the applicable loan (after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves, service fees, principal and interest) must be deposited in a restricted cash account. These funds can be used for the prepayment of the applicable loan in an amount required to satisfy the applicable test, capital expenditures reasonably approved by the lender with respect to the hotels securing the applicable loan, and scheduled principal and interest payments due on the Floating Rate Debt of up to $0.9 million or any Fixed Rate Loan of up to $525,000, as applicable. Funds will

64


Table of Contents

no longer be deposited into the restricted cash account when the debt yield ratio and, if applicable, the debt service coverage ratio are sustained above the minimum requirements for three consecutive months and there are no defaults.
      As of December 31, 2005, our debt yield ratios were above the minimum requirement for the four Fixed Rate Loans and the Floating Rate Loan.
      Each loan comprising the Refinancing Debt is non-recourse; however, we have agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch Mortgage in certain situations, such as fraud, waste, misappropriation of funds, certain environmental matters, asset transfers in violation of the loan agreements, or violation of certain single-purpose entity covenants. In addition, each loan comprising the Refinancing Debt will become full recourse in certain limited cases such as bankruptcy of a borrower or Lodgian. During the term of the Refinancing Debt, we are required to fund, on a monthly basis, a reserve for furniture, fixtures and equipment equal to 4% of the previous month’s gross revenues from the hotels securing each of the respective loans comprising the Refinancing Debt.
      Third party paid loan costs, incurred as a part of the Refinancing Debt, totaling $5.4 million, were deferred and will be amortized using the effective yield method over five years for the Fixed Rate Debt and 31/2 years (including the six month extension) for the Floating Rate Debt.
      We incurred an additional $0.1 million in expenses in 2005 related to the Refinancing Debt. This amount is being amortized using the effective yield method over the remaining life of the debt.
Column Financial Debt
      As of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio requirement of the loan from Column Financial secured by one of its hotels in Phoenix, Arizona. The primary reason why the debt service coverage ratio is below the required threshold is due to the property undergoing an extensive renovation in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 in order to convert from a Holiday Inn Select to a Crowne Plaza. The renovation caused substantial revenue displacement which, in turn, negatively affected the financial performance of this hotel. Under the terms of the Column Financial loan agreement until the required DSCR is met, the lender is permitted to require the borrower to deposit all revenues from the mortgaged property into an account controlled by the lender. The Company was notified by the lender in December 2004 that it was in default of the debt service coverage ratio and would have to establish a restricted cash account whereby all cash generated by the property be deposited in an account from which all payments of interest, principal, operating expenses and impounds (insurance, property taxes and ground rent) would be disbursed. The lender may apply excess proceeds after payment of expenses to additional principal payments. At December 31, 2005, $0.7 million was being retained in this restricted cash account. Notice of repayment has been given to the existing lender as this loan is currently in the process of being refinanced. On March 1, 2006, this mortgage was refinanced and, as such, this non-compliance issue has been resolved. (See Note 17. Subsequent Events).
Other Financings
      As of December 31, 2005, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we owed approximately $10.1 million under industrial revenue bonds secured by the Holiday Inns Lawrence, Kansas and Manhattan, Kansas hotels. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the cash flows of the two hotels were insufficient to meet the minimum debt service coverage ratio requirements. On March 2, 2005, we notified the Trustee of the industrial revenue bonds which finance the Holiday Inns in Lawrence, Kansas and Manhattan, Kansas that we would not continue to make debt service payments. We reclassified this debt to current liabilities because the debt became callable on March 2, 2005, when we did not make the March 1, 2005 debt service payment. On February 1, 2006, we surrendered the Holiday Inn Manhattan, KS and the Holiday Inn Lawrence, KS hotels, respectively, to the bond Trustee, and we no longer own or operate these hotels.
      On November 10, 2005, the Company entered into a $19.0 million loan agreement with IXIS Real Estate Capital Inc. (“IXIS”) which is secured by the Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC hotel. The loan agreement has a

65


Table of Contents

two-year initial term with three one-year extension options which are exercisable provided the loan is not in default. The loan has a debt service coverage ratio requirement of 1.05x which is calculated quarterly. The loan bears a floating rate of interest which is 290 basis points above the 30-day LIBOR. Contemporaneously with the closing of the loan we purchased an interest rate cap agreement that effectively caps our interest rate for the first two years of the loan agreement at 8.4%.
      Prior to entering into the loan agreement with IXIS, the Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC hotel served as part of the collateral, along with eight other hotels, under a loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc. The Column Financial loan agreement bears a fixed rate of interest of 10.59%. $10.3 million of the IXIS loan proceeds were used to pay down existing indebtedness under the Column Financial loan. Prior to the debt paydown, we were not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio of the Column Financial loan. After the debt paydown, the debt service coverage ratio is above the required threshold. As of November 10, 2005, the principal balance of the Column Financial loan is $12.8 million and is now secured by eight of the Company’s hotels. The IXIS Loan Agreement is non-recourse to Lodgian, Inc., except in certain limited circumstances as set forth in the loan agreement.
      On December 22, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”). Pursuant to the loan agreement, Wachovia loaned the Company $10 million, which is secured by the Holiday Inn Phoenix West located in Phoenix, AZ. The loan agreement has a five year term and bears a fixed rate of interest of 6.03%.
      Prior to entering into the loan agreement with Wachovia, the Holiday Inn Phoenix West served as part of the collateral, along with seven other hotels, under a loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc. The Column Financial loan agreement bears a fixed rate of interest of 10.59%. $2.0 million of the Wachovia loan proceeds were used to pay down existing indebtedness under the Column Financial loan agreement. As of December 31, 2005, the principal balance of the Column Financial loan agreement is $10.4 million and is now secured by seven of the Company’s hotels. The Wachovia loan agreement is non-recourse to Lodgian, Inc., except in certain limited circumstances as set forth in the loan agreement.

Preferred Stock
      As of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had no outstanding Preferred Stock shares.
Franchise Agreements and Capital Expenditures
      We benefit from the superior brand qualities of Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Marriott, Hilton and other brands. Included in the benefits of these brands are their reputation for quality and service, revenue generation through their central reservation systems, access to revenue through the global distribution systems, guest loyalty programs and brand Internet booking sites. Reservations made by means of these franchisor facilities generally account for approximately 39% of our total reservations.
      To obtain these franchise affiliations, we enter into franchise agreements with hotel franchisors that generally have terms of between 5 and 20 years. The franchise agreements typically authorize us to operate the hotel under the franchise name, at a specific location or within a specified area, and require that we operate the hotel in accordance with the standards specified by the franchisor. As part of our franchise agreements, we are generally required to pay a royalty fee, an advertising/marketing fee, a fee for the use of the franchisor’s nationwide reservation system and certain other ancillary charges. Royalty fees range from 2.7% to 6.0% of gross room revenues, advertising/marketing fees range from 0.9% to 4.0%, reservation system fees range from

67


Table of Contents

0% to 2.3% and club and restaurant fees from 0.2% to 4.9%. In the aggregate, royalty fees, advertising/marketing fees, reservation fees and other ancillary fees for the various brands under which we operate our hotels range from 5.2% to 11.9% of gross room revenues.
      These costs vary with revenues and are not fixed commitments. Franchise fees incurred (which are reported in other hotel operating costs on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations) for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003:

    $ 23,644     $ 24,361     $ 24,385  
                   
      During the term of the franchise agreements, the franchisors may require us to upgrade facilities to comply with their current standards. Our current franchise agreements terminate at various times and have differing remaining terms. For example, the terms of 13, eight and nine of our franchise agreements are scheduled to expire in 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively. As franchise agreements expire, we may apply for a franchise renewal or request a franchise extension. In connection with renewals, the franchisor may require payment of a renewal fee, increased royalty and other recurring fees and substantial renovation of the facilities, or the franchisor may elect not to renew the franchise. The costs incurred in connection with these agreements are primarily monthly payments due to the franchisors based on a percentage of room revenues.
      If we do not comply with the terms of a franchise agreement, following notice and an opportunity to cure, the franchisor has the right to terminate the agreement, which could lead to a default under one or more of our loan agreements, and which could materially and adversely affect us.
      Prior to terminating a franchise agreement, franchisors are required to notify us of the areas of non-compliance and give us the opportunity to cure the non-compliance. In the past, we have been able to cure most cases of non-compliance and most defaults within the cure periods, and those events of non-compliance and defaults did not cause termination of our franchises or defaults on our loan agreements. If we perform an economic analysis of the hotel and determine that it is not economically feasible to comply with a franchisor’s requirements, we will either select an alternative franchisor, operate the hotel without a franchise affiliation or sell the hotel. However, terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a hotel could require us to incur significant expenses, including liquidated damages, and capital expenditures. Our loan agreements generally prohibit a hotel from operating without a franchise.
      As of March 1, 2006, we have been notified that we were not in compliance with some of the terms of eight of our franchise agreements and have received default and termination notices from franchisors with respect to an additional seven hotels summarized as follows:
  •  Six hotels are held for sale. Two of these hotels are in default of their respective franchise agreement for failure to complete their Property Improvement Plan (“PIP”). Four additional hotels are in default or in non-compliance of their respective franchise agreements for not maintaining required guest satisfaction scores. Each of these hotels requires a significant capital investment for which we do not anticipate a sufficient return on our investment. We have entered into a forbearance agreement with the franchisor regarding one of these hotels that is in default which will maintain the flag until the earlier of March 31, 2006 or until we sell the hotel. We plan to enter into a voluntary termination agreement with the franchisor regarding two of these hotels which will maintain the flag until the earlier of June 30, 2006 or until we sell the hotels.
 
  •  One hotel was held for sale but was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 as management no longer expected to have the hotel sold within one year due to issues related to the transfer of the ground lease to a prospective buyer. This hotel is in default of its franchise agreement for not maintaining required guest satisfaction scores and has a license termination date of February 14, 2006. We may be subject to liquidated damages. We have entered into a letter of intent to sell this

68


Table of Contents

  hotel to a joint venture in which we will be a minority owner. However, we will no longer continue to operate the hotel.
 
  •  One hotel has received an extension to its default termination date until August 15, 2006. The franchisor has verbally agreed to our planned renovations of two floors of guestrooms and guestroom corridors. This work began on January 9, 2006 and will take approximately 90 days to complete. We anticipate the renovations will assist us in improving the quest product scores.
 
  •  Seven hotels are in default or non-compliance of their respective franchise agreement because of substandard guest satisfaction or quality scores. Three of these hotels are trending above the required thresholds, however, they must remain above that threshold for two consecutive years to earn a “clean slate” letter. We anticipate these three hotels will earn their “clean slate” letters in August 2006, August 2007 and February 2008, respectively. Two of these hotels are awaiting follow-up quality inspections by the franchisor to cure the non-compliance issues. Two of these hotels have entered into the non-compliance status due to a new measurement process implemented in January 2006 by the franchisor. One of these hotels in non-compliance recently received an up-branding renovation. The scores used to determine this non-compliance were done before the pre-renovation and we anticipate curing this non-compliance as the new scores begin to cycle in. Our corporate operations team, as well as each property’s general manager and associates, have focused their efforts to cure these failures through enhanced service, increased cleanliness, and product improvements by the required cure date. If we do not achieve scores above required thresholds by the designated date, the hotel would be subject to default of its franchise agreement. Each hotel would receive another opportunity to improve its score before the hotel would be at the risk of having its franchise agreement terminated.

      We believe that we will cure the non-compliance and defaults as to which our franchisors have given us notice before the applicable termination dates, but we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to do so or that we will be able to obtain additional time in which to do so. If a franchise agreement is terminated, we will either select an alternative franchisor or operate the hotel independently of any franchisor. However, terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a hotel could require us to incur significant expenses, including franchise termination payments and capital expenditures, and in certain circumstances could lead to acceleration of parts of our indebtedness. This could adversely affect us.
      We believe we are in compliance with our other franchise agreements in all material aspects. While we can give no assurance that the steps taken to date, and planned to be taken during 2006, will return these properties to full compliance, we believe that we will make significant progress and we intend to continue to give franchise agreement compliance a high level of attention. The 15 hotels that are either in default or non-compliance under the respective franchise agreements are part of the collateral security for an aggregate of $265.3 million of mortgage debt at March 1, 2006.
      In addition, as part of our bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, we entered into stipulations with each of our major franchisors setting forth a timeline for completion of capital expenditures for some of our hotels. However, as of March 1, 2006, we have not completed the required capital expenditures for eight continuing operations hotels in accordance with the stipulations and estimate that completing those improvements will cost $3.3 million. As of March 1, 2006, approximately $2.0 million is deposited in escrow with our lenders to be applied to these capital expenditure obligations pursuant to the terms of the respective loan agreements with these lenders. Under the stipulations, the applicable franchisors could therefore seek to declare certain franchise agreements in default and, in certain circumstances, seek to terminate the franchise agreement. We have scheduled or have begun renovations on eight of these hotels, aggregating $1.4 million of the $3.3 million.
      During 2004, we entered into new franchise agreements for all 15 of our Marriott-branded hotels at that time and agreed to pay a fee aggregating approximately $0.5 million, of which $0.1 million has been paid, and $0.4 million is payable in 2007, subject to offsets.
      To improve our competitive position in individual markets, to comply with the requirements of our franchisors, and repair hurricane damaged hotels, we plan to spend $37.0 million on our hotels in 2006, which includes committed hurricane repair capital expenditures of approximately $14 million. This will substantially

complete all of our deferred renovations. We spent $82.2 million on capital expenditures during 2005 on our continuing operations hotels including $41.9 million for hurricane repairs.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
      We have no off balance sheet arrangements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“SFAS No. 153”). The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 on July 1, 2006 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123). FAS 123(R) supersedes APB 25, “Accounting for Stock issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The approach in FAS 123(R) is generally similar to the approach described in FAS 123. However, FAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the earnings statements based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative.
      We adopted FAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of FAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. As permitted by FAS 123, through December 31, 2005 we accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally have not recognized compensation cost for employee stock options. We estimate that pretax compensation expense for stock options will range between $1.2 million and $1.5 million in 2006.
      In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 generally requires an entity to recognize a liability equal to the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred. Further, FIN 47 clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
      In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 generally requires retrospective application for reporting a change in accounting principle, unless alternative transition methods are explicitly stated in a newly adopted accounting principle. Additionally, SFAS No. 154 requires that errors be corrected by restating previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company began applying this standard on January 1, 2006.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
      We are exposed to interest rate risks on our variable rate debt. At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had outstanding variable rate debt of approximately $86.5 million and $102.6 million, respectively.
      On June 25, 2004, we refinanced both the Merrill Lynch Exit Financing and the Lehman Financing. The new refinancing is organized in four fixed rate pools and one floating rate pool. In order to manage our

70


Table of Contents

exposure to fluctuations in interest rates with the floating pool, we entered into a two-year interest rate cap agreement, which allowed us to obtain this financing at a floating rate and effectively cap the interest rate at LIBOR of 5.00% plus 3.40%. When LIBOR exceeds 5.00%, the contract requires settlement of net interest receivable at specified intervals, which generally coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. When LIBOR is below 5.00%, there is no settlement from the interest rate cap. We are exposed to interest rate risks on the floating pool for increases in LIBOR up to 5.00% but we are not exposed to increases in LIBOR above 5.00% because settlements from the interest rate caps would offset the incremental interest expense. The notional principal amount of the interest rate cap outstanding was $110.0 million at December 31, 2005.
      On November 10, 2005, we refinanced the mortgage on our Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC property. In order to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates with this loan, we entered into a 25-month interest rate cap agreement, which allowed us to obtain the financing at a floating rate and effectively cap the interest at LIBOR of 5.50% plus 2.9%. When LIBOR is below 5.50% there is no settlement from the interest rate cap. We are exposed to interest rate risks on this loan for increases in LIBOR up to 5.50%, but we are not exposed to increases in LIBOR above 5.50% because settlements from the interest rate caps would offset the incremental interest expense. The notional principal amount of the interest rate cap outstanding was $19.0 million at December 31, 2005.
      The fair value of the interest rate cap related to the Refinancing Debt as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $9,000. The fair value of the interest rate cap related to the Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC loan was approximately $24,000. The fair values of the interest rate caps were recognized on the balance sheet in other assets. Adjustments to the carrying values of the interest rate caps are reflected in interest expense.
      As a result of having our two interest rate caps, we believe that our interest rate risk at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was minimal. The impact on annual results of operations of a hypothetical one-point interest rate reduction on the interest rate caps as of December 31, 2005 would be a reduction in net income of approximately $30,000. These derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, we have not elected the hedging requirements of SFAS No. 133.
      At December 31, 2005, approximately $86.5 million of our outstanding debt instruments were subject to changes in LIBOR. Without regard to additional borrowings under those instruments or scheduled amortization, the annualized effect of each twenty five basis point increase in LIBOR would be a reduction in income before income taxes of approximately $0.2 million. The fair value of the fixed rate debt (book value $324.3 million) at December 31, 2005 is estimated at $328.9 million.
      The nature of our fixed rate obligations does not expose us to fluctuations in interest payments. The impact on the fair value of our fixed rate obligations of a hypothetical one-point interest rate increase on the outstanding fixed-rate debt as of December 31, 2005 would be approximately $9.3 million.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
      The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company are included as a separate section of this report commencing on page F-1.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
      There were no disagreements with accountants during the periods covered by this report on Form 10-K.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
      Evaluation of Disclosure, Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the

71


Table of Contents

reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
      As of December 31, 2005, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management team, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. This evaluation included the identification of the item described in management’s report on internal control over financial reporting below. As of the date of this evaluation and as a result of the material weakness described below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below under Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
      In light of the material weakness described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
      Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
      Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
      A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2005, we identified one material weakness as follows:
      We did not maintain effective controls over the calculation of our income tax provisions. Specifically, our controls over the processes and procedures related to the determination and review of the annual tax provisions did not operate effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the income tax provisions were calculated and recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As a result, we incorrectly released the valuation allowance established during fresh-start accounting against the income tax provisions. In accordance with SOP 90-7, the reversal of the valuation allowance established during fresh-start accounting should not be recorded as a reduction to our income tax provisions but rather as an increase to additional paid-in-capital. Due to this error, an adjustment that was material to the financial statements was necessary to present the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This deficiency did not impact our cash flows for 2005.
      Because of the one material weakness described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
      Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm

who has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appears below.
Management’s Corrective Actions
      This control deficiency did not result in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any previously reported quarter or annual period. Additionally, this deficiency does not impact our cash flow as our federal tax obligation for 2005 remains at zero. Accordingly, management has determined that the impact of this material weakness only relates to the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
      We have reviewed and corrected our accounting procedures for income taxes to accurately track and record the release of valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets established at the time of fresh-start accounting. Accordingly, in future periods we will properly record any such reversals in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Lodgian, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
      We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Lodgian, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, because of the effect of the material weakness identified in management’s assessment based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and discussed in the sixth paragraph of this report. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
      We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
      A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
      Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
      A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment:
      The Company did not maintain effective controls over the calculation of its income tax provisions. Controls over the processes and procedures related to the determination and review of the provisions for income taxes did not operate effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the income tax provisions were determined and recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As a result, a material adjustment relating to the recording of income taxes was necessary to present the financial

74


Table of Contents

statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The adjustment related to the Company’s failure to recognize a provision for income taxes due to the inappropriate recognition of a decrease in the valuation allowance established during fresh-start accounting as a reduction of the income tax provisions rather than as an increase in additional paid in capital.
      This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, of the Company and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.
      In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion because of the effect of the material weakness described above, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
      We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our report dated March 15, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Lodgian, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lodgian, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lodgian, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
      As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150.
      We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 15, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness.

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
      On December 11, 1998, Servico, Inc. (Servico) merged with Impac Hotel Group, LLC (Impac), pursuant to which Servico and Impac formed a new company, Lodgian, Inc. (“Lodgian” or the “Company”). This transaction (the “Merger”) was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, whereby Servico was considered the acquiring company. On December 20, 2001, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries that owned hotel properties filed for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. At the time of the Chapter 11 filing, the Company’s portfolio of hotels consisted of 106 hotel properties. The Company emerged from Chapter 11 with 97 hotels since eight of the hotels were conveyed to the lender in satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and one hotel was returned to the lessor of a capital lease. Of the portfolio of 97 hotels, 78 hotels emerged from Chapter 11 on November 25, 2002, 18 hotels emerged on May 22, 2003 and one hotel never filed under Chapter 11.
      In 2003, the Company developed a strategy of owning and operating a portfolio of profitable, well-maintained and appealing hotels at superior locations in strong markets. The Company implemented this strategy by renovating and repositioning certain of its existing hotels to improve performance and divesting hotels that do not fit this strategy or that are unlikely to do so without significant effort or expense. In 2004, the Company also acquired one hotel that better fit this strategy.
      In accordance with this strategy and the Company’s efforts to reduce debt and interest costs, in 2003 the Company identified 19 hotels, its only office building and three land parcels for sale. One hotel and the Company’s only office building were sold in 2003. In 2004, the Company sold 11 of these hotels and two of the land parcels. The Company acquired one hotel, a SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Pinehurst, North Carolina, in December 2004. In 2005, the Company sold eight hotels and identified five additional hotels as held for sale. Also, one hotel previously identified as held for sale was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 as management no longer expected to have the hotel sold within one year. In the first two months of 2006, the Company identified five additional hotels for sale, surrendered two Holiday Inn hotels, located in Lawrence and Manhattan, KS, to the Trustee pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into in August 2005, and the venture which owns the Holiday Inn City Center Columbus, OH deeded the hotel to the lender, a minority-interest hotel that was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company has completed substantially all of its deferred renovation program, and it has spent $80.8 million in 2005, including $41.8 million for hurricane damage repairs, and $35.1 million in 2004 on capital expenditures on its continuing operations hotels.
Principles of Consolidation
      The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Lodgian, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and four joint ventures in which Lodgian has a controlling financial interest and exercises control. Lodgian believes it has control of the joint ventures when it manages and has control of the joint venture’s assets and operations. The four joint ventures in which the Company exercises control and are consolidated in our financial statements are as follows:
  •  Melbourne Hospitality Associates, Limited Partnership (which owns the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, Florida) — This joint venture is in the form of a limited partnership, in which a Lodgian subsidiary serves as the general partner and has a 50% voting interest.
 
  •  New Orleans Airport Motel Associates, Ltd. (which owns the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel, Kenner, Louisiana) — This joint venture is in the form of a limited partnership, in which a Lodgian subsidiary serves as the general partner and has an 82% voting interest.

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
  •  Servico Centre Associates, Ltd. (which owns the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, Florida) — This joint venture is in the form of a limited partnership, in which a Lodgian subsidiary serves as the general partner and has a 50% voting interest.
 
  •  McKnight Motel, Inc. (which owns the Holiday Inn McKnight Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) — This joint venture is in the form of a limited partnership, in which a Lodgian subsidiary serves as the limited partner and has a 50% voting interest.
      On April 18, 2005, the Company acquired for $0.7 million its joint venture partner’s 40% interest in the Crowne Plaza hotel located in Macon, GA, which is now consolidated as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
      The Holiday Inn City Center, Columbus, OH in which the Company has a 30% non-controlling equity interest, is accounted for under the equity method. On November 15, 2005, the Company surrendered this hotel to a receiver. On February 3, 2006, the hotel was deeded to the lender. Accordingly, in 2005 the Company recorded a $0.7 million charge for the write-off of the receivable from this subsidiary and a $0.2 million charge for the write-off of the investment in this subsidiary.
      All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Inventories
      Linen costs are carried at cost. When the Company has to change its linen inventory as a result of brand standard changes required by our franchisors, the Company will write-off the existing linen inventory carrying costs and establish a new linen inventory carrying cost on the balance sheet. During 2005, the Company determined that linen inventory, on average, has a useful life in excess of one year. As a result, the Company reclassified the estimated long term portion of the linen inventory balance to other assets on the balance sheet. The 2004 balance sheet has been adjusted to reclassify $0.8 million of linen inventory to other assets.
      Also during 2005, the Company determined that most china, glass and silverware inventory had a useful life longer than one year. China, glass and silverware inventory, previously included on our balance sheet as a current asset, was reclassified to long-term assets and is included in property and equipment, net. The 2004 balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect this revised presentation, which resulted in a $1.8 million decrease in inventories, and an increase in property and equipment, net.
Minority Interests
      Minority interests represent the minority stockholders’ proportionate share of equity of joint ventures that are consolidated by the Company and is shown as “minority interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company allocates to minority interests their share of any profits or losses in accordance with the provisions of the applicable agreements. However, if the loss applicable to a minority interest exceeds its total investment and advances, such excess is recorded as a charge in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Property and Equipment
      Property and equipment is stated at depreciated cost, less adjustments for impairment, where applicable. Capital improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the related asset. All repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful live of the asset. The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred during the renovation and construction of capital assets.
      Management periodically evaluates the Company’s property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that a possible impairment in the carrying values of the assets has occurred. The carrying value of a held for use long-lived asset is considered for impairment when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by that asset over its estimated useful life is less than the asset’s carrying value. In determining the undiscounted cash flows management considers the current operating results, market trends, and future prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other

F-8

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
economic factors. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value is charged to operating expenses as an impairment charge. Management estimates fair value based on broker opinions or appraisals. If the projected future cash flows exceed the carrying values, no adjustment is recorded. See Note 6 for further discussion of the Company’s charges for asset impairment.
Acquisition of Hotels
      The Company’s hotel acquisitions consist primarily of land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and inventory. Accordingly, the Company allocates the purchase price among these asset classes based upon their respective values determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.”.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
      Management considers an asset held for sale when the following criteria per SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” are met:
        a) Management commits to a plan to sell the asset;
 
        b) The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition;
 
        c) An active marketing plan to sell the asset has been initiated at a reasonable price;
 
        d) The sale of the asset is probable within one year; and
 
        e) It is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell the asset will be made.
      Upon designation of a property as an asset held for sale and in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the Company records the carrying value of the property at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair market value, less estimated selling costs, and the Company ceases depreciation of the asset.
      All losses and gains on assets sold and held for sale (including any related impairment charges) are included in “income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. All assets held for sale and the liabilities related to these assets are separately disclosed in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amount the Company will ultimately realize could differ from the amount recorded in the financial statements. See Note 3 for details of assets and liabilities and operating results of the discontinued operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
      The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
     Restricted Cash
      Restricted cash consisted of amounts reserved for letter of credit collateral, a deposit required by the Company’s bankers and cash reserves pursuant to loan agreements.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
      The fair value of financial instruments is estimated using market trading information. Where published market values are not available, management estimates fair values based upon quotations received from broker/ dealers or interest rate information for similar instruments. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
      The fair values of current assets and current liabilities are assumed equal to their reported carrying amounts. The fair values of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
      Concentration of credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is considered low due to the credit quality of the issuers of the financial instruments held by the Company and due to their short duration to maturity. Accounts receivable are primarily from major credit card companies, airlines and other travel-related companies. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its significant credit customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, allowances were $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Concentration of Market Risk
      Adverse economic conditions in markets, such as Pittsburgh, Baltimore/ Washington, D.C., and Phoenix, in which the Company has multiple hotels, could significantly and negatively affect the Company’s revenue and results of operations. The 14 hotels in these areas provided approximately 26% of the Company’s 2005 continuing operations revenue and approximately 22% of the Company’s 2005 continuing operations total available rooms. In 2004, these 14 hotels provided approximately 26% of the Company’s continuing operations revenue and approximately 21% of the Company’s continuing operations total available rooms. In 2003, these 14 hotels provided approximately 25% of the Company’s continuing operations revenue and approximately 21% of the Company’s continuing operations total available rooms. As a result of this geographic concentration of these hotels, the Company is particularly exposed to the risks of downturns in these markets, which could have a major adverse affect on the Company’s profitability.
Income Taxes
      The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. See Note 12 for the components of the Company’s deferred taxes. As a result of the Company’s history of losses, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset.
Statements of Cash Flows
      In 2005, the Company revised the classification of changes in restricted cash balances to present such changes as an investing activity. Previously, the Company presented such changes as an operating activity in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The revised presentation increased net cash used in investing activities by $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, and decreased net cash used in investing activities by $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, with a corresponding change in net cash provided by operating activities.
      In 2005, the Company revised the presentation of property and equipment purchased on account to present such amounts as non-cash investing activities in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The revised presentation was reflected for all three years in the period ended December 31, 2005.
Earnings per Common and Common Equivalent Share
      Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per common share includes the Company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and warrants to acquire common stock, if dilutive. See Note 14 for a computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Stock-Based Compensation
      The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options is equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the estimated value of the award and is recognized over the service (or vesting) period.
      The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant.
      In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS No. 148”).” SFAS No. 148 amended SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amended the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income and earnings per share and the entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. The Company continues to account for stock issued to employees, using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25.
      The following table reconciles net income and basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), as reported, to pro-forma net income and basic and diluted EPS, as if the Company had expensed the fair value of stock options as permitted by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148:

Revenue Recognition
      Revenues are recognized when the services are rendered. Revenues are comprised of room, food and beverage and other revenues. Room revenues are derived from guest room rentals, whereas food and beverage

F-13

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
revenues primarily include sales from hotel restaurants, room service and hotel catering and meeting rentals. Other revenues include charges for guests’ long-distance telephone service, laundry and parking services, in-room movie services, vending machine commissions, leasing of hotel space and other miscellaneous revenues.
Foreign Currency Translation
      The financial statements of our Canadian operation have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year to year are reported in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit). The effects on the statements of operations of translation gains and losses are insignificant for all years presented.
Operating Segments
      SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires the disclosure of selected information about operating segments. Based on the guidance provided in the standard, the Company has determined that its business of ownership and management of hotels is conducted in one operating segment. During 2005, the Company derived approximately 98% of its revenue from hotels located within the United States and the balance from the Company’s one hotel located in Windsor, Canada.
Use of Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Self-insurance
      The Company is self-insured up to certain limits with respect to employee medical, employee dental, property insurance, general liability insurance, personal injury claims, workers’ compensation and automobile liability. Liabilities for these self-insured obligations are established annually, based on actuarial valuations and the Company’s history of claims. As of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had accrued $12.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively, for such liabilities.
New Accounting Pronouncements
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“SFAS No. 153”). The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 on July 1, 2005 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123). FAS 123(R) supersedes APB 25, “Accounting for Stock issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” The

F-14

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
approach in FAS 123(R) is generally similar to the approach described in FAS 123. However, FAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the earnings statements based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative.
      The Company adopted FAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of FAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. As permitted by FAS 123, through December 31, 2005 the Company accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally have not recognized compensation cost for employee stock options. The Company estimates that pretax compensation expense related to the compensation expense for existing unvested and newly granted stock options that will be recognized during fiscal 2006 will range between $1.2 million and $1.5 million in 2006.
      In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 generally requires entity to recognize a liability equal to the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred. Further, FIN 47 clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
      In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 generally requires retrospective application for reporting a change in accounting principle, unless alternative transition methods are explicitly stated in a newly adopted accounting principle. Additionally, SFAS No. 154 requires that errors be corrected by restating previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company began applying this standard on January 1, 2006.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
      On November 25, 2002, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan which replaced the stock option plan previously in place. In accordance with the Stock Incentive Plan, and prior to the completion of the secondary offering of common stock on June 25, 2004, the Company was permitted to grant awards to acquire up to 353,333 shares of common stock to its directors, officers, or other key employees or consultants as determined by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. Awards may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance share awards, section 162(m) awards or other awards determined by the committee. The Company cannot grant stock options pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan at an exercise price which is less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of the grant. Vesting, exercisability, payment and other restrictions pertaining to any awards made pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan are determined by the committee. At the annual meeting held on March 19, 2004, stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Stock Incentive Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder by 29,667 immediately and, in the event the Company consummated a secondary offering of its common stock, by an additional amount to be determined pursuant to a formula. With the completion of the secondary offering of common stock on June 25, 2004, the total number of shares available for issuance under our Stock Incentive Plan increased to 3,301,058 shares.

      On January 31, 2005, the Company awarded stock options to acquire 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Linda Borchert Philp upon her promotion to chief financial officer.
      On May 9, 2005, the Company awarded stock options to acquire 392,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain of the Company’s employees and to independent members of the board of directors. Each of the four independent members of the board of directors received non-qualified options to acquire 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the awards granted was $9.05, the average of the high and low market prices of our common stock on the day of the grant, and the awards vest in three equal annual installments beginning on May 9, 2006.
      On July 15, 2005, the Company issued 75,000 restricted stock shares to Mr. Rohling our president and chief executive officer. The shares will vest in two equal installments on July 15, 2006 and July 15, 2007. The restricted stock shares were valued at $10.44 per share, the average of the high and low market prices of our common stock on the day of the grant.
      Additionally, in 2005 the Company awarded stock options to acquire an aggregate 22,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to new employees of the Company. In total in 2005 the Company awarded 440,000 stock option grants.
      All stock options expire ten years from the date of grant.
      On September 8, 2005, Thomas Parrington resigned as chief executive officer as part of a transition plan and Edward Rohling was elected chief executive officer by the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Parrington was originally awarded 66,666 units, of which 22,222 units had not yet vested at the time of Mr. Parrington’s resignation. When Mr. Parrington resigned these 22,222 units of restricted stock immediately vested. In total, 14,422 shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations related to Mr. Parrington’s restricted stock units in 2005. The withheld shares were deemed repurchased by the Company and thus were added to treasury stock.
      At December 31, 2005, the Company had 2,545,252 shares that remained available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan.

3. Discontinued Operations
      During 2003, the Company identified 19 hotels, one office building and three land parcels for sale as part of its portfolio improvement strategy and its efforts to reduce debt and interest costs. During 2003, the Company sold one hotel and the office building. During 2004, the Company sold 11 hotels and two land parcels. At December 31, 2004, seven hotels and one land parcel were held for sale. During 2005, an additional five hotels were identified for sale. In 2005, the Company sold eight hotels for an aggregate sales price of $36.4 million, $29.2 million of which was used to pay down debt. The Company realized gains of approximately $6.9 million in 2005 from the sale of these assets. In the first two months of 2006, the Company identified an additional five hotels as held for sale.
      Management considers an asset held for sale when the following criteria per SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”) are met:
  a) Management commits to a plan to sell the asset;
 
  b) The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition;
 
  c) An active marketing plan to sell the asset at a reasonable price has been initiated;

F-18

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
  d) The sale of the asset is probable within one year; and
  e) It is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell the asset will be made.
      Upon designation of a property as an asset held for sale, and in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the Company adjusts the carrying value of the property at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs, and the Company ceases depreciation of the asset.
      The Holiday Inn Jekyll Island, GA hotel was listed for sale. Jekyll Island is owned by the state of Georgia. The Company operates the hotel under a ground lease from the state. On October 26, 2005, the Company was notified that the prospective buyer of the hotel was not going to be able to secure an extension of the ground lease. The buyer required such an extension of the lease as a condition to purchasing the property. Accordingly, because management no longer expected to have hotel sold within one year, the hotel was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 and the Company recaptured the depreciation that would have been recognized if the assets were held for use. The Company has since entered into a February 11, 2006 letter of intent to sell this hotel and enter into a joint venture to share in the operating and potential future capital event cash flows of this hotel. At December 31, 2005, three hotels and one land parcel were held for sale.
      In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company has included the results of hotel assets sold during 2005, 2004 and 2003 as well as the hotel assets held for sale at December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 including any related impairment charges, in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets held for sale at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the liabilities related to these assets are separately disclosed in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All losses and gains on assets sold and held for sale (including any related impairment charges) are included in “(Loss) income from discontinued operations before income taxes” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The amount the Company will ultimately realize on these asset sales could differ from the amount recorded in the financial statements.
      The Company recorded impairment on assets held for sale in 2005, 2004 and 2003. The impairment of long-lived assets held for sale of $4.0 million recorded in 2005 represents the write-down of five hotels and one land parcel for sale. The fair values of the assets held for sale are based on the estimated selling prices less estimated costs to sell. The Company determines the estimated selling prices in conjunction with its real estate brokers. The estimated selling costs are based on its experience with similar asset sales. The Company records impairment charges and writes down respective hotel asset carrying values if the carrying values exceed the estimated selling prices less costs to sell. As a result of these evaluations, during 2005, the Company recorded impairment charges as follows:
  a) an additional $0.3 million on the Holiday Inn Express Gadsden, AL to reflect the estimated selling costs of this sale as the hotel was identified for sale in January 2005 and to reflect the write-off of capital improvements spent on this hotel for franchisor compliance that did not add incremental value or revenue generating capacity to the property;
 
  b) an additional $1.6 million on the Holiday Inn Rolling Meadows, IL to reflect the lowered selling price of the hotel;
 
  c) an additional $0.3 million on the Holiday Inn Morgantown, WV to reflect the reduced selling price and the additional charges to dispose of this hotel in February 2005;
 
  d) an additional $0.4 million on the Mt. Laurel, NJ land parcel to reflect the lowered estimated selling price of the land parcel;
 
  e) $1.3 million on the Holiday Inn St. Louis, MO to reflect the reduced selling price of the hotel; and

F-19

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
  f) $0.1 million on the Holiday Inn McKnight Pittsburgh, PA as the hotel was identified for sale in the fourth quarter 2005 and its carrying value was adjusted to the hotel’s selling price less selling costs.
      As a result of the impairment evaluations in 2004, the Company recorded impairment charges of $7.2 million on ten hotels as follows:
  a) an additional $0.1 million on the Holiday Inn Express Pensacola, FL to reflect the loss recorded on sale of this hotel in March 2004;
 
  b) an additional $0.5 million on the downtown Plaza Hotel Cincinnati, OH to reflect the lowered estimated selling price of the hotel and the loss recorded on sale of the hotel in April 2004;
 
  c) an additional $0.4 million on the Holiday Inn Morgantown, WV as capital improvements were spent on this hotel for franchise compliance that did not add incremental value or revenue generating capacity to the property;
 
  d) an additional $0.7 million on the Holiday Inn Memphis, TN to reflect the reduced selling price and additional charges to dispose of this hotel in December 2004;
 
  e) an additional $1.0 million on the Holiday Inn Austin (South), TX to reflect a reduction in the estimated selling price due to feedback from potential buyers that this hotel had limited future franchise options due to its exterior corridors;
 
  f) $1.7 million on the Holiday Inn Rolling Meadows, IL to record the difference between the estimated selling price and the carrying value of this hotel consistent with an offer received on the hotel;
 
  g) $0.3 million on the Holiday Inn Florence, KY primarily related to disposal costs incurred on sale of the hotel in December 2004;
 
  h) $1.1 million on the Holiday Inn Express Gadsden, AL as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2005 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s carrying value. The estimated selling price of this hotel was negatively impacted by its franchise agreement expiring in August 2005 and the franchisor indicating that it will not renew the agreement;
 
  i) $0.9 million on the Holiday Inn St. Louis, MO as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2005 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s previously adjusted carrying value;
 
  j) $0.6 million on the Quality Inn Hotel & Conference Center Metairie, LA as capital improvements were spent on health and safety items that added no incremental market value or revenue generating capacity at this hotel, resulting in the recording of impairment to bring the asset’s carrying value in line with the fair value; and
 
  k) additional adjustments on four other assets aggregating to a reduction of impairment charges of $0.1 million.
      As a result of its impairment evaluations in 2003, the Company recorded impairment charges of $9.7 million on 11 hotels and two land parcels held for sale and $0.2 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment net book value write-offs for items that were replaced as follows:
  a) $1.1 million on the Holiday Inn Express Pensacola, FL as this hotel was identified for sale in the second quarter 2003. The performance of this hotel was negatively impacted in 2003 by the opening of three new hotels in its market and the conversion of another fully renovated hotel to the Holiday Inn Express brand in April 2003;
 
  b) $1.0 million on the Downtown Plaza Hotel Cincinnati, OH as this hotel was listed for sale in the second quarter 2003. Operating profits decreased more than forecast at this hotel following the loss of its franchise affiliation in May 2003;

F-20

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
  c) $0.8 million on the Holiday Inn Morgantown, WV as this hotel was identified for sale in the second quarter 2003 at which time, based on the anticipated selling price, no impairment was required. In the fourth quarter of 2003 the expected selling price of this hotel was lowered as a result of the opening of a Radisson hotel in the market, which negatively impacted the operating results of this hotel;
 
  d) $0.6 million on the Holiday Inn Fort Mitchell, KY as this hotel was identified for sale in the second quarter 2003 at which time, based on the anticipated selling price, no impairment was required. In the third quarter of 2003 it was determined with the broker that the selling price needed to be lowered to find a willing buyer, resulting in an impairment charge;
 
  e) $0.6 million on the land parcel in Mt. Laurel, NJ as this property was identified for sale in the second quarter of 2003. During the sales process the broker recommended a price reduction which resulted in $0.6 million of impairment charges;
 
  f) $0.6 million on the Holiday Inn Market Center Dallas, TX as this hotel was identified for sale in the second quarter 2003 at which time $0.6 million of impairment was recorded. The reduction in value was primarily related to the franchisor’s decision to not transfer the franchise agreement on this hotel to a new buyer. This hotel was sold in January 2004 for net proceeds of $2.5 million compared to its adjusted net book value of $2.4 million;
 
  g) $0.3 million on the Holiday Inn Memphis, TN as this hotel was identified for sale in the second quarter of 2003 at which time, based on the anticipated selling price, no impairment was required. In the third quarter of 2003 it was determined by the broker that it was advisable that the selling price should be lowered because the franchise agreement was not going to be renewed;
 
  h) $0.1 million on the Holiday Inn Austin (South), TX as this hotel was identified for sale in the second quarter of 2003 at which time impairment was recorded based on a listing broker’s evaluation of the hotel;
 
  i) $0.1 million on the land parcel in Fayetteville, NC as this property was identified for sale in the second quarter of 2003 at which time, based on the anticipated selling price, no impairment was required. In the third quarter 2003 the listing broker determined it was advisable to lower the asking price which resulted in an impairment charge;
 
  j) $2.5 million on the Holiday Inn St. Louis North, MO because the nearby airport renovations drastically changed the ingress and egress of this hotel thereby significantly lowering the financial performance of this hotel; and
 
  k) $1.8 million on the Quality Hotel & Conference Center Metairie, LA because of a significant decline in this hotel’s group room business because this hotel is in need of a major renovation, which the company had previously planned but subsequently discarded due to an inadequate expected return on investment. Transient business has also declined, resulting in reduced operating profits which led to the recording of impairment.

      On December 27, 2004, the Company acquired the SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel, located in Pinehurst, NC, for an aggregate purchase price of $5.4 million including closing costs. Upon receipt of the cost approach appraisal in 2005, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation with $0.8 million allocated to land, $4.2 million allocated to building, and $0.4 million allocated to property and equipment.
      In 2005, the Company sold eight hotels for net sales proceeds of $36.4 million and realized gains from the sales of approximately $6.9 million. See Note 3 for details relating to hotels sold and hotels classified in discontinued operations.
      The impairment of held for use long-lived assets of $8.3 million recorded during 2005 represents $7.9 million in reductions made to the carrying values of six hotels, to bring them in line with their estimated fair values, and $0.4 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment net book value write-offs for items that were replaced in 2005. Consistent with our accounting policy on asset impairment and in accordance with SFAS No. 144, we periodically evaluate our real estate assets to determine if there has been any impairment in the carrying value. We record impairment charges if there are indicators of impairment and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. With respect to assets held for use, we estimate the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by these assets. We then compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows for each hotel with their respective carrying values to determine if there are indicators of impairment. If there are indicators of impairment, we determine the estimated fair values of these assets in conjunction with real estate brokers. These broker valuations of fair value normally use the “cap rate” approach of estimated cash flows, a “per key” approach, or a “room revenue

multiplier” approach for determining fair value. As a result of these evaluations, we recorded impairment charges in 2005 as follows:
  a) $1.5 million on the Holiday Inn Lawrence, KS hotel due to a reduced fair value appraisal;
 
  b) $1.0 million on the Park Inn Brunswick, GA to write-off the capital improvements made on this property related to the franchise conversion that did not result in an increase in the fair value of this hotel;
 
  c) $0.9 million on the Holiday Inn Hamburg, NY hotel as the undiscounted future cash flows were less than the asset’s carrying value and the resulting broker opinion required a write-down of the carrying value of the asset to its fair value;
 
  d) $1.7 million on the Holiday Inn Sheffield, AL as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2006 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s carrying value;
 
  e) $1.8 million on the Fairfield Inn Valdosta, GA as this hotel was identified for sale in January 2006 and the estimated selling price was less than the asset’s carrying value; and
 
  f) $1.0 million on the Fairfield Inn Merrimack, NH hotel as the undiscounted future cash flows were less than the asset’s carrying value and the resulting broker opinion required a write-down of the carrying value of the asset value to its fair value.
      The impairment of held for use long-lived assets of $4.9 million recorded during 2004 represents $4.4 million in adjustments made to the carrying values of two hotels, to reduce them to their estimated fair values, and $0.5 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment net book value write-offs for items that were replaced in 2004. As a result of these evaluations, we recorded impairment charges in 2004 as follows:
  a) $3.8 million on the Park Inn Brunswick, GA hotel, which was converted from a Holiday Inn, as this hotel lost the business of a significant military group contract and the conversion of this hotel to a Park Inn was not expected to improve operating results; and
 
  b) $0.6 million on the Holiday Inn Lawrence, KS hotel as the financial performance of this hotel continued to decline as it was in need of a major renovation which was not economically justifiable as management was notified the franchise agreement would not be renewed.
      In 2003, the Company recorded impairment of long-lived assets of $8.4 million representing $7.3 million in adjustments made to the carrying values of three hotels held for use, to reduce them to their estimated fair values, and $1.1 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment net book value write-offs for items that were replaced in 2003. The Company reported impairment charges in 2003 as follows:
  a) $4.5 million on the Crown Plaza Macon, GA as the expected holding period for this hotel was reduced to six months because the Company was unable to locate a lender to refinance the maturing mortgage on this hotel as a single asset loan;
 
  b) $1.5 million on the Crowne Plaza Cedar Rapids, IA as the primary revenue source at this hotel has historically been group room revenues which have declined considerably in the past two years due to the poor condition of a city-owned ballroom attached to this hotel; and
 
  c) $1.3 million on the Holiday Inn Winter Haven, FL as this hotel had been identified for sale in the second quarter of 2003 and the estimated sales price, less costs to sell, was below the hotel’s carrying value. The estimated sales price of the hotel was negatively impacted by the unanticipated closure of a nearby tourist attraction and the unexpected announcement that a major baseball team was going to relocate their spring training facilities away from this property. In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company ceased its selling efforts with respect to this hotel because the allocated loan amount on this hotel significantly exceeded the fair value of the hotel.

Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. Debt
      On June 25, 2004, the Company closed on the $370 million Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. (“Merrill Lynch Mortgage”) refinance (“Refinancing Debt”) secured by 64 hotels, of which, as of March 1, 2006, ten hotels have since been sold and two hotels have been released through debt paydown. The Company refinanced (1) its outstanding mortgage debt (“Merrill Lynch Exit Financing”) with Merrill Lynch Mortgage which, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $290.9 million, (2) certain of its outstanding mortgage debt (the “Lehman Financing”) with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) which, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $56.1 million, and (3) its outstanding mortgage debt on the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Macon, Georgia which, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $6.9 million.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      Immediately after closing, the Refinancing Debt consisted of a loan of $110 million bearing a floating rate of interest (the “Floating Rate Debt”), which as of March 1, 2006 was secured by 18 of our hotels (29 hotels at the loan’s inception), and four loans totaling $260 million each bearing a fixed interest rate of 6.58% (the “Fixed Rate Debt”) and secured, in the aggregate, by 34 of our hotels (35 hotels at the loan’s inception). On October 17, 2005, we released the Holiday Inn St. Paul, MN hotel as collateral under one of the Fixed Rate Loans in exchange for debt paydown of $2.1 million. On February 8, 2006, we released the Fairfield Inn Jackson, TN hotel as collateral under the Floating Rate Loan in exchange for debt paydown of $1.6 million. Prior to the securitization of the four fixed rate loans, these loans were subject to cross-collateralization provisions. As of March 1, 2006, all four fixed rate loans had been securitized.
      The Company cannot prepay the Fixed Rate Debt except during the 60 days prior to maturity. The Company may, after the earlier of June 25, 2008 or the second anniversary of the securitization of any Fixed Rate Loan, defease such Fixed Rate Loan, in whole or in part.
      On April 29, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment with Merrill Lynch to modify certain of the provisions of the Floating Rate Loan. Under the terms of the amendment, Merrill Lynch agreed to allow the release of the Holiday Inn St. Louis, MO as collateral under the loan in exchange for debt paydown of $4.8 million. Approximately $2.6 million of this amount was paid through the release of certain reserves held on other properties which were sold or were expected to be sold in the near future. The Company paid the balance of the release price, approximately $2.2 million, from its cash balances. In addition to the release of the St. Louis property from the collateral pool, the amendment provided for the following:
  •  Extension of the initial maturity from June 30, 2006 to January 11, 2007. The Company still maintains the option, subject to certain conditions, to extend the loan for up to three years from the new initial maturity date in January 2007;
 
  •  Three additional properties in the floating rate pool are now classified as “sale properties.” Once classified as a “sale property” the Company will be able to be release the hotel from the collateral pool by payment of the greater of (a) 100% of the aggregate allocated loan amount (lowered from 125%) and (b) the net sales proceeds of the property;
 
  •  The prepayment penalty dropped to 1% in July 2005 and has been further reduced for the three additional sale properties after July 2005 to 0.5%; and
 
  •  Certain required capital and environmental repairs under the original Floating Rate Loan have been determined not to be necessary and have been removed as requirements under the loan.
      As a result of these modifications in the terms of the Floating Rate Loan, the Floating Rate Debt has an initial maturity of January 11, 2007. The Floating Rate Debt is a 21/2 year loan (including the six month extension) with three one-year extension options and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.40%. The first extension option will be available to the Company only if no defaults exist and the Company has entered into the requisite interest rate cap agreement. The second and third extension options will be available to the Company only if no defaults exist, a minimum debt yield ratio of 13% is met, and minimum debt service coverage ratios of 1.3x for the second extension and 1.35x for the third extension are met. An extension fee of 0.25% of the outstanding Floating Rate Debt is payable if the Company opts to exercise each of the second and third extensions. The Company may prepay the Floating Rate Debt in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment penalty in the amount of 1% of the amount prepaid. However, after January 11, 2007, there is no prepayment penalty associated with the Floating Rate Loan.
      The Floating Rate Debt provides that when either (i) the debt yield ratio for the hotels for the trailing 12-month period is below 9% during the first year, 10% during the next 18 months and 11%, 12% and 13% during each of the next three extension periods, or (ii) to the extent extended, the debt service coverage ratio is less than 1.30x in the second extension period or 1.35x in the third extension period, excess cash flows

produced by the mortgaged hotels securing the applicable loan (after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves, service fees, principal and interest) must be deposited in a restricted cash account. For each Fixed Rate Loan, when the debt yield ratio for the hotels for the trailing 12-month period is below 9% during the first year, 10% during the next year and 11%, 12% and 13% during each of the next three years, excess cash flows produced by the mortgaged hotels securing the applicable loan (after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves, service fees, principal and interest) must be deposited in a restricted cash account. These funds can be used for the prepayment of the applicable loan in an amount required to satisfy the applicable test, capital expenditures reasonably approved by the lender with respect to the hotels securing the applicable loan, and scheduled principal and interest payments due on the Floating Rate Debt of up to $0.9 million or any Fixed Rate Loan of up to $525,000, as applicable. Funds will no longer be deposited into the restricted cash account when the debt yield ratio and, if applicable, the debt service coverage ratio are sustained above the minimum requirements for three consecutive months and there are no defaults.
      As of December 31, 2005, our debt yield ratios were above the minimum requirements for the four Fixed Rate Loans and the Floating Rate Loan.
      Each loan comprising the Refinancing Debt is non-recourse; however, the Company has agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch Mortgage in certain situations, such as fraud, waste, misappropriation of funds, certain environmental matters, asset transfers in violation of the loan agreements, or violation of certain single-purpose entity covenants. In addition, each loan comprising the Refinancing Debt will become a full recourse loan in certain limited cases such as bankruptcy of a borrower or Lodgian. During the term of the Refinancing Debt, the Company is required to fund, on a monthly basis, a reserve for furniture, fixtures and equipment equal to 4% of the previous month’s gross revenues from the hotels securing each of the respective loans comprising the Refinancing Debt.
      Other loan costs incurred as a part of the Refinancing Debt, totaling $5.4 million, were deferred and are being amortized using the effective yield method over five years for the Fixed Rate Debt and 31/2 years (which includes the six month extension) for the Floating Rate Debt.
      The Company incurred an additional $0.1 million in expenses in 2005 related to the Refinancing Debt. This amount is being amortized using the effective yield method over the remaining life of the debt.
      If the Company does not comply with the terms of a franchise agreement, following notice and an opportunity to cure, the franchisor has the right to terminate the agreement, which could lead to a default under one or more of our loan agreements and which could materially and adversely affect the Company. If a franchise agreement is terminated, the Company will either select an alternative franchisor, operate the hotel independent of any franchisor or sell the hotel. However, terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a hotel could require the Company to incur significant expenses, including franchise termination payments and capital expenditures associated with the change of a brand. Moreover, the loss of a franchise agreement could have a material adverse effect upon the operations or the underlying value of the hotel covered by the franchise because of the loss of associated guest loyalty, name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor. Loss of a franchise agreement may result in a default under, and acceleration of, the related mortgage debt. In particular, the Company would be in default under the Refinancing Debt if the Company experiences either:
  •  multiple franchise agreement defaults and the continuance thereof beyond all notice and grace periods for hotels whose allocated loan amounts total 10% or more of the outstanding principal amount of such Refinancing Debt;
 
  •  with regard to the Floating Rate Debt, either the termination of franchise agreements for more than two properties or the termination of franchise agreements for hotels whose allocated loan amounts represent more than 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the Floating Rate Debt, and such hotels

  continue to operate for more than five consecutive days without being subject to replacement franchise agreements;
 
  •  with regard to the Fixed Rate Debt, either the termination of franchise agreements for more than one property or the termination of franchise agreements for hotels whose allocated loan amounts represent more than 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the fixed rate loan, and such hotels continue to operate for more than five consecutive days without being subject to replacement franchise agreements; or
 
  •  a franchise termination for any hotel currently subject to a franchise agreement that remains without a franchise agreement for more than six months.
      A single franchise agreement termination could materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenues, cash flow and liquidity.
Column Financial Debt
      As of December 31, 2005, the Company was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio requirement of the loan from Column Financial secured by one hotel in Phoenix, AZ. The primary reason the debt service coverage ratio was below the required threshold is that the property underwent an extensive renovation in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 in order to convert from a Holiday Inn Select to a Crowne Plaza. The renovation caused substantial revenue displacement which, in turn, negatively affected the financial performance of this hotel. Under the terms of the Column Financial loan agreement until the required DSCR is met, the lender is permitted to require the borrower to deposit all revenues from the mortgaged property into an account controlled by the lender. Accordingly, in December 2004, the Company was notified by the lender that it was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio requirement and that the Company would have to establish a restricted cash account whereby all cash generated by the property be deposited in an account from which all payments of interest, principal, operating expenses and escrows (insurance, property taxes and ground rent) would be disbursed. The lender may apply excess proceeds after payment of expenses to additional principal payments. As of December 31, 2005, $0.7 million was retained in the restricted cash account for this hotel. This loan can be repaid in full without penalty on the first day of the month following a 30 day written notice. On March 1, 2006 this loan was refinanced. (See Note 17. Subsequent Events).
JP Morgan Chase Bank Debt
      As of December 31, 2005, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company owed $10.1 million under industrial revenue bonds (“IRBs”) secured by the Holiday Inns in Lawrence, Kansas and Manhattan, Kansas. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the cash flows of the two hotels were insufficient to meet the minimum debt service coverage ratio requirements. The IRBs are non-recourse to Lodgian, except for certain limited guaranties (the “Limited Guaranties”) given by one of our other subsidiaries, Servico, Inc. (“Guarantor”), in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.4 million. The IRBs originally were issued to provide acquisition and development funding to the prior owners and the IRBs were assumed upon our acquisition of the projects. On March 2, 2005, the Company notified the Trustee of the IRBs that the Company would not continue to make debt service payments. Additionally, management asserted that the Guarantor had satisfied its payment obligations under the Limited Guaranties by virtue of having made payments to the Trustee in prior years to cover debt service on the IRBs in excess of the liability limit under the Limited Guaranties.
      On August 31, 2005, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the Trustee. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company agreed to sell the hotels to a third party or convey its rights and interests in the hotels to the Trustee or its nominee by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or a “consensual” foreclosure and pay to the

Trustee for the benefit of the bondholders the sum of $0.5 million in exchange for a full release of all claims, including any claims related to the Limited Guaranties. This $0.5 million guaranty was paid in September 2005. On February 1, 2006, the hotels were transferred to the Trustee pursuant to the settlement agreement and the Trustee took title to the properties. Accordingly, as of February 1, 2006, the Company no longer owns or operates these hotels.
IXIS Real Estate Capital, Inc. and Wachovia Bank Debt
      On November 10, 2005, the Company entered into a $19.0 million loan agreement with IXIS Real Estate Capital Inc. (“IXIS”) which is secured by the Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC hotel. The loan agreement has a two-year initial term with three one-year extension options which are exercisable provided the loan is not in default. The loan has a debt service coverage ratio requirement of 1.05x which is calculated quarterly. The loan bears a floating rate of interest which is 290 basis points above the 30-day LIBOR. Contemporaneously with the closing of the loan we purchased an interest rate cap agreement that effectively caps our interest rate for the first two years of the loan agreement at 8.4%.
      Prior to entering into the loan agreement with IXIS, the Holiday Inn Hilton Head, SC hotel served as part of the collateral, along with eight other hotels, under a loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc. The Column Financial loan agreement bears a fixed rate of interest of 10.59%. Between loan proceeds and existing reserves $10.3 million went to pay down existing indebtedness under the Column Financial loan. Prior to the debt paydown, we were not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio of the Column Financial loan. After the debt paydown, the debt service coverage ratio is above the required threshold. The IXIS Loan Agreement is non-recourse to Lodgian, Inc., except in certain limited circumstances as set forth in the loan agreement.
      On December 22, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”). Pursuant to the loan agreement, Wachovia loaned the Company $10.0 million, which is secured by the Holiday Inn Phoenix West located in Phoenix, AZ. The loan agreement has a five year term and bears a fixed rate of interest of 6.03%. Prior to entering into the loan agreement with Wachovia, the Holiday Inn West Phoenix, AZ served as part of the collateral, along with seven other hotels, under a loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc. The Column Financial loan agreement bears a fixed rate of interest of 10.59%. $2.0 million of the Wachovia loan proceeds were used to pay down existing indebtedness under the Column Financial loan agreement. As of December 31, 2005, the principal balance of the Column Financial loan agreement is $10.3 million and is now secured by seven of the Company’s hotels. The Wachovia loan agreement is non-recourse to Lodgian, Inc., except in certain limited circumstances as set forth in the loan agreement.
Franchise Agreements
      The Company is subject to certain property maintenance and quality standard compliance requirements under its franchise agreements. The Company periodically receives notifications from its franchisors of events of non-compliance with such agreements. In the past, management has cured most cases of non-compliance within the applicable cure periods and the events of non-compliance did not result in events of default under the respective loan agreements. However, in selected situations and based on economic evaluations, management may elect to not comply with the franchisor requirements. In such situations, the Company will either select an alternative franchisor, operate the property independent of any franchisor or sell the hotel.
      As of March 1, 2006, the Company had been notified that it was not in compliance with some of the terms of eight of its franchise agreements and have received default and termination notices from franchisors with respect to an additional seven hotels (see Note 15).

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      While the Company can give no assurance that the steps taken to date, and planned to be taken during 2006, will return these properties to full compliance, management believes that it will make significant progress and it intends to continue to give franchise agreement compliance a high level of attention. The 15 hotels that are either in default or non-compliance under the respective franchise agreements are part of the collateral security for an aggregate of $265.3 million of mortgage debt at March 1, 2006.
Interest Rate Cap Agreements
      At December 31, 2005, the Company had two interest rate cap agreements with aggregate notional values of $129 million. An agreement with a notional value of $110 million was entered into in June 2004 to manage the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the interest rate on its variable rate debt with Merrill Lynch Mortgage. The cap agreement allowed the Company to obtain the loan at a floating rate and effectively cap the interest rate at LIBOR of 5% plus 3.4%. The extended maturity date of the agreement is now January 11, 2007, which coincides with the modified 21/2 year term of the loan.
      The Company entered into an agreement with a notional value of $19 million on November 10, 2005, to manage the company’s exposure to fluctuations in the interest rate on its variable rate debt with IXIS. The cap agreement allowed the Company to obtain the loan at a floating rate and effectively cap the interest rate at LIBOR of 5.5% plus 2.9%.
      These derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are entered into for hedging purposes only. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, the Company has not elected to follow the hedging requirements of SFAS No. 133.
      The aggregate fair value of the two interest rate caps as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $33,000. The fair values of the interest rate caps are recognized in the accompanying balance sheet in other assets. Adjustments to the carrying values of the interest rate caps are reflected in interest expense.
      The notional amounts of the two interest rate caps and their termination dates match the original principal amounts and maturity dates on these loans.
Collateral for Loans
      Seventy-two of the Company’s consolidated hotels are pledged as collateral for long-term obligations. Certain of the mortgage notes are subject to a prepayment or yield maintenance penalty if the Company repays them prior to their maturity. At December 31, 2005, approximately 79% of the long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates and approximately 21% of the debt is subject to floating rates of interest. Set forth below, by debt pool, is a summary of the Company’s long-term debt (including the current portion) along with the applicable interest rates and the related carrying values of the property and equipment which collateralize the long-term debt:

10.     12.25% Cumulative Preferred Shares Subject to Mandatory Redemption
      On November 25, 2002, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value $0.01 at $25.00 per share. On June 25, 2004, immediately upon the effective date of the equity offering, the Company exchanged 3,941,115 shares of its common stock for 1,483,558 shares of Preferred Stock (“the Preferred Share Exchange”) held by (1) certain affiliates of, and investments accounts managed by, Oaktree Capital Management, LLC (“Oaktree”), (2) BRE/ HY Funding LLC (“BRE/ HY”), and (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”), based on a common stock price of $10.50 per share. In the Preferred Share Exchange, Oaktree, BRE/ HY and Merrill Lynch received 2,262,661, 1,049,034 and 629,420 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. As part of the Preferred Share Exchange, the Company incurred a charge of $1.6 million for a 4% prepayment premium for early redemption of the Preferred Stock.
      Additionally, on July 26, 2004, the Company redeemed 4,048,183 shares of Preferred Stock totaling approximately $114.0 million from the proceeds of the public equity offering at the liquidation value of $25 per

share, plus 4% prepayment premium as provided by the terms of the Preferred Stock agreement. A liability of $2.2 million replaced the 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock that were part of the disputed claims reserve. Approximately $4.5 million was paid for the 4% prepayment premium on the Preferred Stock when it was redeemed on July 26, 2004. As at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had no preferred stock shares outstanding.
      Each share of Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference over the Company’s common stock. The dividend was cumulative, compounded annually and was payable at the rate of 12.25% per annum on November 21 of each year. As provided by the terms of the Preferred Stock, the first dividend was paid on November 21, 2003 by means of the issuance of additional shares of Preferred Stock, with fractional shares paid in cash. The Company thus issued 594,299 shares of Preferred Stock as dividends and paid cash dividends of approximately $18,500 for fractional shares. The Preferred Stock was subject to redemption at any time, at the Company’s option and to mandatory redemption on November 21, 2012.
      On July 1, 2003, in accordance with SFAS No. 150, the Company reclassified the Preferred Stock to the liability section of its consolidated balance sheet and began presenting the related dividends in interest expense which totaled $8.1 million for the period July 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 150, the Company presented the Preferred Stock between liabilities and equity in its consolidated balance sheet (called the “mezzanine” section) and reported the Preferred Stock dividend as a deduction from retained earnings with no effect on its results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, the Preferred Stock and the dividends for the period prior to July 1, 2003, have not been reclassified. See Note 11 for additional information related to the redemption of the Preferred Stock in 2004.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
2004 Reverse Stock Split
      On April 27, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock in a ratio of one-for-three (1:3) with resulting fractional shares paid in cash. The reverse stock split affected all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, warrants, stock options, and restricted stock. The record date for the reverse stock split was April 29, 2004 and the Company’s new common stock began trading under the split adjustment on April 30, 2004.
      All amounts for common stock, warrants, stock options, and restricted stock, and all earnings per share computations have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the change in the Company’s capital structure.
2004 Public Equity Offering
      On June 25, 2004, the Company completed a public equity offering of 18,285,714 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $10.50 per share. Net proceeds from this equity offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, advisory fee and other offering expenses, amounted to approximately $175.9 million.
      Additionally, immediately upon the effective date of the equity offering, the Company executed the Preferred Share Exchange. In the Preferred Share Exchange, Oaktree, BRE/ HY and Merrill Lynch received 2,262,661, 1,049,034 and 629,420 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. As part of the Preferred Share Exchange, the Company incurred a charge of $1.6 million for 4% prepayment premium for early redemption of the Preferred Stock.
      From the proceeds of the public equity offering, on July 26, 2004, the Company redeemed 4,048,183 shares of Preferred Stock totaling approximately $114.0 million. A liability of $2.2 million replaced the 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock that were part of the disputed claims reserve. Approximately $4.5 million

Treasury Stock
      On July 15, 2004, July 15, 2005 and September 8, 2005, a total of 66,666 restricted stock units previously issued to the Company’s former CEO, Thomas Parrington vested in three equal installments of 22,222 shares. Mr. Parrington, pursuant to the restricted unit award agreement between the Company and him, elected to have the Company withhold 21,633 shares to satisfy the employment tax withholding requirements associated with the vested shares. The withheld shares were deemed repurchased by the company and thus were added to treasury stock.
2002 Joint Plan of Reorganization
      Pursuant to the Joint Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court in November 2002, the Company issued Class A and B warrants.
      The Class A warrants provide for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,510,638 shares (reverse split adjusted) of the common stock at an exercise price of $18.29 per share and expire on November 25, 2007.
      The Class B warrants provide for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,029,366 shares (reverse split adjusted) of the common stock at an exercise price of $25.44 per share and expire on November 25, 2009.

      At December 31, 2005, the Company had established a valuation allowance of $118.2 million to fully offset its net deferred tax asset. As a result of the Company’s history of losses, the Company believed that it was more likely than not that its net deferred tax asset would not be realized and, therefore, provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve against these amounts. Of this $118.2 million, the 2005 deferred tax asset was reduced by $27.0 million with $15.6 million of the reduction attributable to write-offs of deferred tax assets, $7.7 million related to utilization of pre-emergence deferred tax assets credited to additional paid in capital in accordance with SOP 90-7, and $3.0 million of expiring NOLs. In addition, approximately $110.0 million of the $118.2 million of the deferred tax asset remaining is attributable to pre-emergence deferred tax assets and may be booked to additional paid in capital in future periods.
      In addition to the estimated current period tax loss of $8.7 million, at December 31, 2005, the Company had available net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $306 million for federal income tax purposes, which will expire in 2006 through 2024. NOLs totaling approximately $8 million expired unused at December 31, 2005. It is estimated $10.9 million of NOLs will expire unused in 2006. The Company has

F-36

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
undergone several “ownership changes,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, the Company’s ability to use the net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income is subject to certain limitations. The annual net operating loss carryforward limitation is $8.3 million per year. Due to these and other limitations, a portion or all of these net operating loss carryforwards could expire unused.
13. Related Party Transactions
Preferred Share Exchange
      On June 25, 2004, Oaktree and BRE/ HY, representatives of which serve as certain of the Company’s directors, and/or affiliates received 2,262,661 shares and 1,049,034 shares of common stock that were exchanged as part of the Preferred Share Exchange. Approximately $26.3 million and $11.1 million of the net proceeds from the equity offering were used to redeem the remaining shares of Preferred Stock held by Oaktree and BRE/ HY, respectively. Including the common shares they received as part of the Preferred Share Exchange, Oaktree and BRE/ HY are currently the beneficial owners of shares of the Company’s common stock.
Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. Debt
      On June 25, 2004, the public equity offering was completed along with the funding of the $370 million of Refinancing Debt with Merrill Lynch Mortgage. Lodgian paid Merrill Lynch an advisory fee of $1.4 million, a 1% origination fee on the Floating Rate Debt of $1.1 million and prepayment penalties on the exit financing debt of $2.9 million.

      Linda Philp, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, resigned effective December 16, 2005. Ms. Philp will remain the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on a consulting basis while the company searches for her replacement. The company was billed $20,050 for her consultancy services for the period December 19, 2005 to December 31, 2005 and $95,085 for the period January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2006.
Related Party Receivable
      Amounts due from Columbus Hospitality Associates LP, in which the Company has a 30% non-controlling equity interest, were nil at December 31, 2005 and $0.9 million at December 31, 2004, respectively, and are included in other receivables. The receivable owed to the Company was written off in 2005 as the Company determined it was uncollectible as management had plans to surrender this hotel to its lender.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Franchise Agreements and Capital Expenditure
      The Company has entered into franchise agreements with various hotel chains which require annual payments for license fees, reservation services and advertising fees. The license agreements generally have original terms of between 5 and 20 years. The franchisors may require the Company to upgrade its facilities at any time to comply with its then current standards. Upon the expiration of the term of a franchise, the Company may apply for a franchise renewal. In connection with the renewal of a franchise, the franchisor may require payment of a renewal fee, increase license, reservation and advertising fees, as well as substantial renovation of the facility. Costs incurred in connection with these agreements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003:
                         
    2005   2004   2003
             
    ($ in thousands)
Continuing operations
  $ 22,158     $ 21,225     $ 19,831  
Discontinued operations
    1,486       3,136       4,554  
                   
    $ 23,644     $ 24,361     $ 24,385  
                   
      As of March 1, 2006, the Company had been notified that it was not in compliance with some of the terms of eight of its franchise agreements and have received default and termination notices from franchisors with respect to an additional seven hotels summarized as follows:
  •  Six hotels are held for sale. Two of these hotels are in default of their respective franchise agreement for failure to complete their Property Improvement Plan (“PIP”). Four additional hotels are in default or in non-compliance of their respective franchise agreements for not maintaining required guest satisfaction scores. Each of these hotels requires a significant capital investment for which the Company does not anticipate a sufficient return on its investment. The Company has entered into a forbearance agreement with the franchisor regarding one of these hotels that is in default which will maintain the flag until the earlier of March 31, 2006 or until the Company sells the hotel. The Company plans to enter into a voluntary termination agreement with the franchisor regarding two of these hotels which will maintain the flag until the earlier of June 30, 2006 or until the Company sells the hotels.
 
  •  One hotel was held for sale but was reclassified into continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2005 as management no longer expected to have the hotel sold within one year due to issues related to the transfer of the ground lease to a prospective buyer. This hotel is in default of its franchise agreement for not maintaining required guest satisfaction scores and has a license termination date of February 14, 2006. The Company may be subject to liquidated damages. The Company has entered into a letter of intent to sell this hotel to a joint venture in which the Company will be a minority owner. However, the Company will no longer continue to operate the hotel.
 
  •  One hotel has received an extension to its default termination date until August 15, 2006. The franchisor has verbally agreed to the Company’s planned renovations of two floors of guestrooms and guestroom corridors. This work began on January 9, 2006 and will take approximately 90 days to complete. The Company anticipates that the renovations will assist in improving the quest product scores.
 
  •  Seven hotels are in default or non-compliance of their respective franchise agreement because of substandard guest satisfaction or quality scores. Three of these hotels are trending above the required thresholds, however, they must remain above that threshold for two consecutive years to earn a “clean

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
  slate” letter. The Company anticipates these three hotels will earn their “clean slate” letters in August 2006, August 2007 and February 2008, respectively. Two of these hotels are awaiting follow-up quality inspections by the franchisor to cure the non-compliance issues. Two of these hotels have entered into the non-compliance status due to a new measurement process implemented in January 2006 by the franchisor. One of these hotels in non- compliance recently received an up-branding renovation. The scores used to determine this non-compliance were done before the pre-renovation and the Company anticipates curing this non-compliance as the new scores begin to cycle in. The corporate operations team, as well as each property’s general manager and associates, have focused their efforts to cure these failures through enhanced service, increased cleanliness, and product improvements by the required cure date. If the Company does not achieve scores above required thresholds by the designated date, the hotel would be subject to default of its franchise agreement. Each hotel would receive another opportunity to improve its score before the hotel would be at the risk of having its franchise agreement terminated.
      However, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to complete its action plans, which in aggregate are estimated to cost approximately $5.4 million, to cure the alleged defaults prior to the specified termination dates or be granted any extended time to cure any defaults. The Company believes it is in compliance with its other franchise agreements in all material aspects. While the Company can give no assurance that the steps taken to date, and planned to be taken during 2006, will return these properties to full compliance, the Company believes that it will make significant progress and intends to continue to give franchise agreement compliance a high level of attention. The 15 hotels that are either in default or non-compliance under the respective franchise agreements are part of the collateral security for an aggregate of $265.3 million of mortgage debt as of March 1, 2006.
      In addition, as part of its bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, the Company entered into stipulations with each of its major franchisors setting forth a timeline for completion of capital expenditures for some of its hotels. However, as of March 1, 2006, the Company has not completed the required capital expenditures for eight continuing operations hotels in accordance with the stipulations and estimates the cost to comply with those stipulations to be $3.3 million of which $2.0 million is reserved with its lenders. Under the stipulations, the applicable franchisors could therefore seek to declare certain franchise agreements in default and, in certain circumstances, seek to terminate the franchise agreement. The Company has scheduled or has begun renovations on eight of these hotels, aggregating $1.4 million of the $3.3 million.
      If a franchise agreement is terminated, the Company will either select an alternative franchisor, operate the hotel independently of any franchisor or sell the hotel. However, terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a hotel could require the Company to incur significant expenses, including franchise termination payments and capital expenditures associated with the change of a brand. Moreover, the loss of a franchise agreement could have a material adverse effect upon the operations or the underlying value of the hotel covered by the franchise because of the loss of associated guest loyalty, name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor. Loss of a franchise agreement may result in a default under, and acceleration of, the related mortgage debt. In particular, the Company would be in default under the Refinancing Debt if the Company experiences either;
  •  multiple franchise agreement defaults and the continuance thereof beyond all notice and grace periods for hotels whose allocated loan amounts total 10% or more of the outstanding principal amount of such Refinancing Debt;
 
  •  with regards to the Merrill Lynch Mortgage floating rate refinancing debt (“Floating Rate Debt”), either the termination of franchise agreements for more than two properties or the termination of franchise agreements for hotels whose allocated loan amounts represent more than 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the floating rate debt, and such hotels continue to operate for more than five consecutive days without being subject to replacement franchise agreements;

F-40

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
  •  with regards to the Merrill Lynch Mortgage fixed rate refinancing debt (“Fixed Rate Debt”), either the termination of franchise agreements for more than one property or the termination of franchise agreements for hotels whose allocated loan amounts represent more than 5% of the outstanding principal amount of the fixed rate loan, and such hotels continue to operate for more than five consecutive days without being subject to replacement franchise agreements; or
 
  •  a franchise termination for any hotel currently subject to a franchise agreement that remains without a franchise agreement for more than six months.
      A single franchise agreement termination could materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenues, cash flow and liquidity.
      During 2004, the Company entered into new franchise agreements for all 15 of its Marriott-branded hotels at that time and agreed to pay a fee aggregating approximately $0.5 million, of which $0.1 million has been paid, and $0.4 million is payable in 2007, subject to offsets.
      To comply with the requirements of its franchisors, to improve its competitive position in individual markets, and repair hurricane damaged hotels, the Company plans to spend $37.0 million on its hotels in 2006, which includes hurricane expenditures of $14.4 million. The Company spent $82.2 million on capital expenditures during 2005 on its continuing operations hotels, which includes $41.8 million for hurricane repairs.
Letters of Credit
      As of December 31, 2005, the Company had one irrevocable letter of credit for $3.4 million outstanding, fully collateralized by cash (classified as restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets), as a guarantee to Zurich American Insurance Company for self-insured losses. This letter of credit will expire in November 2006 but may be renewed beyond that date.
Self-insurance
      The Company is self-insured up to certain limits with respect to employee medical, employee dental, property insurance, general liability insurance, personal injury claims, workers’ compensation and auto liability. The Company establishes liabilities for these self-insured obligations annually, based on actuarial valuations and its history of claims. If these claims escalate beyond the Company’s expectations, this could cause a negative impact on its future financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had accrued $12.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively, for these liabilities.
      There are other types of losses for which the Company cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost, including losses caused by acts of war. If an uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the Company’s insurance limits were to occur, the Company could lose both the revenues generated from the affected hotel and the capital that it has invested. The Company also could be liable for any outstanding mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the hotel. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Casualty Losses
      On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Two of our hotels in the New Orleans area, the Quality Inn & Conference Center in Metairie, LA and the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel in Kenner, LA, were damaged. The Quality Inn & Conference Center in Metairie, LA is held for sale and is included in discontinued operations. The Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel in Kenner, LA is included in continuing operations. The insurance deductible on the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel is

F-41

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
$0.7 million and $0.5 million on the Quality Inn & Conference Center. Both the Quality Inn & Conference Center hotel and the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel are currently open. All of our properties are covered by property casualty and business interruption insurance. The Company will incur capital expenditures and repair costs on these two hotels. The current estimate of repair damage and capital expenditures on the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel is $2.3 million and $3.4 million on the Quality Inn & Conference Center. In 2006, approximately $1 million will be spent on the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel and approximately $2 million will be spent on the Quality Inn Metairie hotel.
      During August and September 2004, eight of our hotels were damaged (six extensively) from the hurricanes that made landfall in the Southeastern United States. Two of the hotels (the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL) were closed for most or all of 2005. The Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL hotel reopened on December 29, 2005 and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotel reopened on January 24, 2006.
      With regard to physical property damage, the Company is recognizing repair expenses related to hurricane damage as it incurs them. The Company has written off the net book value (“NBV”) of the assets that were destroyed by the hurricanes. As the combined repair expenses and NBV write-offs for each property exceed the relevant insurance deductibles, the Company has recorded or will record a receivable from the insurance carriers. In the fourth quarter 2005, we settled the property damage claims on the five hotels that had hurricane damage that exceeded the applicable deductible(s). These five hotels include the: 1) Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL; 2) Holiday Inn University Mall Pensacola, FL; 3) Holiday Inn Winter Haven, FL; 4) Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL; and 5) Holiday Inn Express University Mall Pensacola, FL. The Company recognized $31.3 million in casualty gains on these five hotels, offset by $0.4 million in hurricane repair expenses on the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel and other continuing operations hotels. With the settlement of these claims we released the insurance advance liability as these property damage claims are now closed. At December 31, 2005, we established an $11.7 million receivable for signed proofs of loss for $8.8 million of property damage proceeds for the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL and the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotels and $2.9 million for business interruption proceeds for these two hotels. As of March 1, 2006, we had received all of the property damage proceeds and all but $38,000 of the business interruption proceeds that were accrued at December 31, 2005.
      The business interruption proceeds recorded in 2005 are for the September 2004 to November 2005 time period for the Crowne Plaza West Palm Beach, FL hotel and the September 2004 to December 2005 time period for the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, FL hotel. For purposes of expediting the business interruption claims, some of the months during this period were based on estimates and, accordingly, actual operating results will be trued up to finalize the business interruption claims. Additionally, our business interruption coverage continues for the six months following the opening date of the hotel, to cover the revenue ramp-up and additional expense period. As such, the true-up for these periods will result in the recording of additional business interruption proceeds in 2006.
      All advances are forwarded to our lenders from which we receive reimbursements as we incur hurricane-related repair and capital expenditures. At December 31, 2005, $3.3 million was at our lenders in escrow accounts related to property damage claims.
      On October 13, 2005, an underground water main ruptured underneath the Holiday Inn in Clarksburg, WV. The rupture caused flooding in certain areas of the hotel and a limited amount of structural damage. The property was temporarily closed while the Company made repairs. The hotel reopened on January 31, 2006. We believe the cost to repair the building, as well as losses due to business interruption, will be covered by insurance, subject to a deductible.
      On January 15, 2006, our Holiday Inn hotel in Marietta, GA suffered a major fire. One of the guest towers, containing 146 rooms was severely damaged. One person died in the fire and a number of people were

taken to local hospitals with injuries. The Company believes it has sufficient property and liability insurance coverage to reimburse the Company for the damage to the property, including coverage for business interruption, as well as to pay any claims that may be asserted against the Company by guests or others related to the fatality and other injuries. The hotel is currently closed, and management is working with its property insurance carrier to determine the cost to rebuild.
Litigation
      From time to time, as the Company conducts its business, legal actions and claims are brought against it. The outcome of these matters is uncertain. However, management believes that all currently pending matters will be resolved without a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. Claims relating to the period before the Company filed for Chapter 11 protection were limited to the amounts approved by the Bankruptcy Court for settlement of such claims and were payable out of the disputed claims reserve that was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. On July 26, 2004, the Preferred Stock was redeemed and cash of $2.2 million replaced the Preferred Stock shares held in the disputed claims reserve. Accordingly, when this liability was established, it reduced Additional Paid-in Capital. On June 30, 2005, the Company completed the final distribution for its bankruptcy claims and released the remaining unused accrual balance of $1.3 million with a corresponding adjustment to Additional Paid-in Capital.
Operating Leases
      Thirteen of the Company’s continuing operations hotels are subject to long-term ground leases, parking and other leases expiring from 2006 through 2075 which provide for minimum payments as well as incentive rent payments. Two of these hotels with ground leases were listed for sale during the first two months of 2006 and the two Kansas hotels transferred to the bond Trustee on February 1, 2006 were also subject to ground leases. In addition, most of the Company’s hotels have non-cancelable operating leases, mainly for operating equipment. Lease expense for the non-cancelable ground, parking and other leases for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows:

      The Company adopted a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its non-union employees and two groups of union employees under which participating employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their compensation. The Company matches an employee’s elective contributions to the 401(k) plan, subject to certain conditions. These employer contributions vest immediately. Contributions to the 401(K) plan made by the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows:

Additions to Held for Sale Hotels
      In the first two months of 2006 the Company identified five additional hotels for sale. The five hotels identified for sale are the Holiday Inn Sheffield, AL; the Fairfield Inn Valdosta, GA; the Holiday Inn Valdosta, GA; the Crowne Plaza Cedar Rapids, IA; and the Fairfield Inn Colchester, VT.
Wachovia Bank Refinance
      On February 1, 2006, the Company closed on two loan agreements with Wachovia Bank National Association for $17.4 million secured by the Crowne Plaza Worcester, MA hotel and $6.1 million secured by the Holiday Inn Express Palm Desert, CA hotel. Each loan has a five-year term and bears a fixed rate of interest of 6.04%. The proceeds of these loans were used to paydown debt related to Column Financial, and as such, six hotels are now unencumbered. These hotels include the Radisson Phoenix, AZ, the Radisson New Orleans Airport Hotel Kenner, LA, the Holiday Inn Washington, PA, the Holiday Inn Santa Fe, NM, the Hilton Ft. Wayne, IN and the Crowne Plaza Coraopolis, PA hotels. These loan agreements are non-recourse to Lodgian, Inc. except in certain situations as set forth in the loan agreements.
IXIS Real Estate Capital Refinance
      On March 1, 2006, the Company entered into a loan agreement with IXIS Real Estate Capital Inc. (“IXIS”). Pursuant to the loan agreement, IXIS loaned the Company $21.5 million, which is secured by all of the assets of the Crowne Plaza Phoenix, AZ; the Radisson Phoenix, AZ; and the Crowne Plaza Coraopolis Pittsburgh, PA. The loan agreement has a two year initial term with three one year extension options which are exercisable provided the loan is not in default. The loan bears a floating rate of interest at LIBOR plus 2.95%. Contemporaneously with the closing of the loan agreement, the Company purchased an interest rate cap that effectively caps our interest rate for the first two years of the loan agreement at 8.45%. Prior to

entering into the loan agreement with IXIS, the Crowne Plaza Phoenix, AZ served as collateral under a loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc. The Column loan agreement had a fixed rate of interest of 9.45%. At December 31, 2005 we were not in compliance with the covenants on this refinanced loan, and as such, we were subject to cash trap provisions. Of the IXIS loan proceeds, $6.6 million was used to pay off the existing indebtedness under this Column loan agreement. The IXIS Loan Agreement is non-recourse to Lodgian, Inc., except in certain limited circumstances as set forth in the loan agreement.
Fire at Holiday Inn Marietta, GA
      On January 15, 2006, our Holiday Inn hotel in Marietta, GA suffered a major fire. One of the guest towers, containing 146 rooms was severely damaged. One person died in the fire and a number of people were taken to local hospitals with injuries. The Company believes it has sufficient property and liability insurance coverage to reimburse the Company for the damage to the property, including coverage for business interruption, as well as to pay any claims that may be asserted against the Company by guests or others related to the fatality and other injuries. The hotel is currently closed, and management is working with its property insurance carrier to determine the cost to rebuild.
18. Selected Quarterly Financial Data, Unaudited
      The following table presents certain quarterly operating data for the year ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The data have been derived from the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments consider necessary to present fairly this information when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for certain quarters may vary from the amounts previously reported on the Company’s Forms 10-Q filed for prior quarters due to of the reclassification of certain assets as held for sale and discontinued operations during the course of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The allocation of results of operations between the continuing operations and discontinued operations, at the time of the quarterly filings, was based on the assets held for sale, if any, as of the dates of those filings. This table represents the comparative quarterly operating results for the 71 hotels classified in continuing operations at December 31, 2005.

EX-14 2 g00167exv14.txt EX-14 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS EXHIBIT 14 If you have questions, please call the Senior Vice President - General Counsel at 404-812-3176 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS 1. GENERAL INTEGRITY -- To maintain and enhance Lodgian's reputation for integrity in its business, it is vital for each of us to adhere to the highest moral, ethical and legal standards. Honesty and integrity are the backbone of our relationship with our associates, shareholders, suppliers, guests and governmental authorities. This policy is a formal statement of the ethical conduct and common sense standards that sets the tone for all of Lodgian's business activities. The standards presented are intended as guidelines and obviously cannot cover every situation in our business environment. Lodgian is committed to these principles of ethical business conduct and any questionable practices should be evaluated in this light. 2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS (of the United States, Canada and other foreign countries) -- Compliance with the law is essential. While acting on behalf of Lodgian, each associate must comply with the applicable rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments and of appropriate public and private regulatory agencies or organizations. Associates should not take any action on behalf of the Company that they know, or should reasonably be expected to know, violates any governmental laws, rules, or regulations. While Lodgian does not expect all associates to be experts in law and governmental regulations, we do expect associates to take reasonable precautions. When there is question or doubt regarding a particular action, associates should obtain clarification from their manager. In all cases, Lodgian expects a good faith effort to follow the spirit and intent of this policy and the law. 3. ACCOUNTING PRACTICES -- Lodgian will follow generally accepted accounting rules and controls. The books of account, budgets and similar records must accurately reflect these rules and controls. All assets of the company should be accounted for carefully and properly. No payment of company funds shall be approved if it is known that it will be made contrary to this policy. The company's independent auditors will be given access to all information necessary for them to properly conduct their audits. Associates are responsible for maintaining accurate records regarding the financial and administrative transactions of the Company. To ensure that accurate financial and administrative information is maintained, associates should not permit or take any action that would result in the inaccurate recording of entries in Company books, records and ledgers. No asset, fund, expenditure, or account should be established unless it is accurately reflected in the records of the Company. Financial activities are to be recorded in compliance with all applicable laws and accounting practices and shall be maintained for the time period required by the Internal Revenue Code and other applicable laws. All prepared financial statements and reports submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission and to the public must be full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. 4. ANTITRUST AND TRADE REGULATIONS -- Lodgian is committed to the letter and spirit of applicable antitrust and trade laws and regulations. Business activities must be conducted in a fair and equitable manner. Under no circumstance should an associate or an individual associated with Lodgian be party to any agreement, collusion or concerted activity of any type involving any competitor, customer, or any other party, that restrains trade or is in violation of the antitrust laws and regulations designed to foster competition. Prohibited activities include LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS price fixing; predatory pricing; allocation of customers; allocation of territories; exclusivity agreements; group boycotts; monopolization; unlawful termination of suppliers or distributors; price discrimination; or any attempts to engage in such conduct. Any discussion, action, or transaction that may involve prohibited conduct should be avoided and any knowledge of such conduct should be reported immediately to the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel. Any questions about what is permissible conduct should be raised with the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel before any action is taken. 5. INSIDER TRADING -- The Securities and Exchange Act prohibits Lodgian's insiders in possession of "inside information" from engaging in securities transactions. To ensure Lodgian is in compliance with all regulations regarding stock transactions, the Company has established a separate Insider Trading Policy which should be carefully reviewed by associates prior to the buying or selling company stock. 6. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES -- The Company's policies and procedures define how we conduct business and how various business tasks are to be performed. To ensure our operations are conducted in a consistent and high quality manner, associates must comply with these policies and procedures in performing their job responsibilities. Internal policies and procedures should not conflict with the basic provisions of Lodgian's Policy on Business Ethics. 7. ANTI-FRAUD POLICIES -- Associates are prohibited from engaging in any scheme to defraud any person or organization of money, property, or the honest services of another. The making of any false or fraudulent statements to a government official or concealing a material fact from a government official is also prohibited. 8. CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS -- All contracts and agreements entered into by Lodgian must be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Contracts with outside parties should be in writing and should include a complete description of all obligations of the various parties as well as details on fees. Lodgian's attorneys should review contracts in the negotiation stage, and should endorse all contracts prior to final approval and execution. Contracts may not be signed by anyone other than the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel or his/her authorized representatives. 9. USE OF FUNDS AND ASSETS -- Lodgian's funds and assets should not be used for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose. The payment or receipt of bribes, kickbacks, secret commissions, unauthorized gratuities or other unethical payments is prohibited. The use of funds for non-company purposes is prohibited. Assets (both tangible and intangible, including but not limited to Lodgian's buildings, property, vehicles, equipment, software, and the Lodgian name) should only be used for business activities. Any exceptions to this policy on the use of assets should be documented in writing and approved by the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel prior to the event. 10. PURCHASING -- In general, all Lodgian purchases should be made strictly on the basis of quality, suitability, service, price and efficiency. Suppliers should be treated fairly and equitably. It is the policy of Lodgian to award orders and contracts on the basis of merit and without favoritism. Purchases and contracts with companies owned or controlled by associates are allowed as long as the transaction fully complies with the conflict of Page 2 of 8 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS interest provisions of this policy, receive the prior approval of senior management and are entered into upon the same terms and conditions available to any other supplier. These purchases must also meet all of the specified standards of quality, suitability, service, price, and efficiency. 11. ASSOCIATE EXPENSES -- All associates must comply with the applicable Internal Revenue Code (IRC) standards and requirements when reporting their authorized travel, entertainment, business and relocation expenses. The travel, relocation and other applicable policies are designed to ensure compliance with the IRC standards. Associates are required to conform to policies when incurring and reporting business expenses. Any questions or issues not specifically covered by the policies should be referred to the Chief Financial Officer or his/her designee prior to the expense(s) being incurred. 12. GIFTS TO ASSOCIATES -- Gifts to associates from Lodgian are prohibited, except as part of a Human Resources-approved associate incentive program. The term "gift" may include such items as incentives, money, clothing, consumables, entertainment, and merchandise. Senior management reserves the exclusive right to grant exceptions to this policy if it can be shown that a deviation is both warranted and in the best interests of Lodgian. Personal gifts from managers to their associates are allowed for special occasions as long as they convey no message other than appreciation for work effort and are not paid for using Lodgian's funds. 13. GIFTS TO OUTSIDE PARTIES A. Personal Gift-Giving: Associates are generally not restricted from giving personal gifts to outside parties. A "personal gift" is a gift item that does not belong to Lodgian nor was purchased using company funds. Personal gift-giving is discouraged in those situations where Lodgian has actual or potential business dealings with an individual or organization. B. Company Gift-Giving: Gifts given by Lodgian to an individual using corporate funds or assets must comply with Internal Revenue Policy on gift-giving and must be approved in writing by senior management prior to the conveyance. Any gift that exceeds $500 in value must have the advance written approval of the Chief Executive Officer or the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel. Associates should not use their personal funds to circumvent these standards. The Internal Revenue Code policies on gift giving may be obtained from the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel. C. Political Gift-Giving: The giving of gifts by Lodgian either directly or indirectly, including the offering or promising of value to a public official (either domestic or foreign) with intent to influence the public official, or as a result of an official act performed, or to be performed, by the public official is prohibited. 14. COMMUNICATIONS WITH MANAGEMENT -- Lodgian is committed to keeping the lines of communication between associates and management open. Significant or sensitive issues (operational, financial, personnel or other) facing Lodgian or its associates should be promptly communicated to management. 15. CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE MEDIA -- Lodgian will respond in a timely, accurate, and appropriate manner to all legitimate requests for information from the Page 3 of 8 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS media or any other external organization, association, or individual. All such requests should be referred to the Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer. Any public announcements to the media or other external groups will be made only by designated personnel. Associates should be familiar with the Company's crisis policy in the event of an emergency. 16. ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONS -- Lodgian will not engage in any unfair competition or deceptive advertising practices. All claims of fact made in advertising should be substantiated by supporting data before they are made. 17. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES A. Domestic: While Lodgian has a significant interest in many governmental issues on a local, state and national level, there are laws that dictate the degree of involvement of the Company and its associates in political activities. Any proposed payments or transactions on behalf of or in the name of Lodgian to any government officials or candidates for public office or for public referendums must be reviewed and approved in writing by the Chief Executive Officer. B. International: Lodgian may make political contributions to candidates and committees in certain foreign countries. Prior to such contributions being made, however, approval of the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel is required. 18. DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION -- As a publicly-owned company, Lodgian is subject to strict securities laws regarding the dissemination of information about the company to the public. In addition, the company's ability to compete depends upon confidential information. In addition, release of confidential information without authorization could violate a person's right to privacy, cause Lodgian to suffer financial loss, or create a potentially embarrassing situation. In conversations (business and personal) associates should limit disclosures to information which has been publicly released by the company and should not disclose to unauthorized persons or entities any confidential business information regarding operations, finances, guests, or associates. Moreover, Lodgian associates may not make use of such information to further personal interests. Unauthorized persons and entities could include other associates and non-associates, as well as other companies and organizations not specifically authorized to receive such information. Only authorized Company personnel (as designated by senior management) should release information to the public. If there is any question as to whether information should be released, consult the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel. 19. RELATIONS WITH OUTSIDE PARTIES -- Associates may personally accept business-related gifts, provided that they are customarily associated with ethical business practice and do not place the associate or Lodgian under any obligation to the donor. As used in this section, business-related gifts are anything of value and include, but are not limited to, normal services, cash, merchandise, travel, and entertainment. Business-related gifts valued in excess of $500 are discouraged, but if received, they must be reported in writing to the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel within ten days of receipt. If, in the sole discretion of the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel, a business gift creates or appears to create a conflict of interest, or to any degree impairs the objective business judgment of an associate, then the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel reserves the sole and exclusive right in the case of a tangible gift to claim the gift and the gift shall become the property of Lodgian. Page 4 of 8 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS 20. ASSOCIATE RELATIONS -- We are committed to a policy of equal opportunity and will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, gender, religion, or any other characteristic protected by law. We will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding employment practices. We will provide a safe and healthy work place for our associates and they will be compensated in a fair and equitable manner. Lodgian will provide a safe and healthy work place for its associates and will compensate its associates fairly and equitably. We encourage our associates to work diligently and to deal with our guests and suppliers with integrity. Each associate should treat other associates in a humane manner without regard to race, color, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, gender, religion, or any other forms of discrimination. Lodgian will provide a work environment that is free of discrimination and harassment. Any associate who violates Lodgian's policies will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. 21. GUEST RELATIONS -- Lodgian will succeed only if we serve our guests well. Our guests deserve to be treated courteously without discrimination or bias. Our guests have the right to adequate information about the prices of the rooms and services we offer to enable them to assess the value they are receiving. They deserve accurate and unambiguous advertising. 22. SHAREHOLDER RELATIONS -- Lodgian is owned by shareholders who have invested in the Company's stock. We are accountable to them. We are obligated to keep them informed concerning matters affecting the company. They deserve good corporate governance. A key aspect of our corporate governance structure is having our board of directors comprised primarily of independent directors who as a result of their experience, knowledge and skill can adequately represent the interests of shareholders and guide management. 23. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST -- The term "conflict of interest" refers to any circumstance which would cast doubt on an associate's ability to act objectively when representing the Company's interest. Associates should not use their position or association with Lodgian for their own or their family's personal gain and should avoid situations in which their personal interests (or those of their family) conflict or overlap, or appear to conflict or overlap, with Lodgian's best interests. Significant ownership in a firm with which Lodgian does business could give rise to a conflict of interest. Where possible, the prior approval of Senior Management should be obtained. Moreover, an associate or relative may not receive any kickback, bribe, substantial gift, or special consideration as a result of any transaction or business dealings involving Lodgian. Business dealings with outside firms should not result in unusual gains for those firms. Unusual gain refers to bribes, special fringe benefits, unusual price breaks, and other windfalls designed to ultimately benefit either the Company, the associate, or both. Page 5 of 8 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS Some examples of situations which could give rise to a conflict of interest are given below. These examples do not limit the general scope of this policy. - - Concurrent employment by Lodgian and any other business if such employment encroaches materially on time or attention which should be devoted to the Company's affairs. - - Concurrent employment by Lodgian and any other business that is a present or potential competitor, customer, supplier of goods or services, or contractor of Lodgian or receipt of compensation from any such business. - - Holding of a financial interest in any present or potential competitor, customer, supplier, or contractor unless the business or enterprise in which the associate holds a financial interest is publicly owned and the financial interest constitutes less than 10 percent of the equity securities of that business or enterprise. - - Acceptance of a membership on the Board of Directors or serving as a consultant or advisor to any board of any management of a business which is a present or potential competitor, customer, supplier, or contractor unless approved in writing by the Chief Executive Officer. - - Engaging in any transaction involving Lodgian from which the associate can benefit, financially or otherwise, apart from regular compensation received in the usual course of business. This prohibition is intended to include lending or borrowing of money, guaranteeing debts, or accepting gifts, entertainment, or favors from a present or potential competitor, customer, supplier, or contractor. - - Use or disclosure to a third party of any unpublished information obtained by an associate in connection with their employment for personal benefit. - - Commission of any act which is considered illegal under the laws of the United States when dealing on behalf of Lodgian. - - Each potential conflict of interest will be considered individually, and the final decision as to the existence of a conflict will be made by the Chief Executive Officer. 24. OWNERSHIP OF COMPUTER RESOURCES AND SOFTWARE -- Computer programs and routines that are developed by associates as part of their job responsibilities are the property of Lodgian. Lodgian retains all rights to such software. Sharing of external files or downloading of trademarked information from the internet is prohibited. Much of the software utilized at Lodgian is licensed by the vendor for use according to specific software licensing agreements. It is Lodgian's intention to comply with all requirements of software licensing agreements. Unauthorized use, modification, or copying of licensed software documentation by associates is prohibited. Software that has been illegally copied or altered is not to be used on any Lodgian computer equipment. 25. REPORTING VIOLATIONS OF LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS -- If associates feel that they or another individual has violated this policy, the action must be reported immediately to the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel. The Senior Vice President -- General Counsel will review the issue and either take action directly or forward it to the Page 6 of 8 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS appropriate party for investigation and ultimate resolution. All inquiries will be appropriately investigated with due regard for the concerns of all involved, and will be kept as confidential as possible given the nature of the situation. The results of significant investigations will be communicated to the Chief Executive Officer. The Company's whistle-blower policy is available on its website. It is Lodgian's intent to protect innocent parties in their reporting of violations. Associates who, in good faith, report a suspected violation will not be subjected to retaliation as a result of their actions. In situations in which the reporting party is personally involved in the violation, Lodgian will consider whether some measure of leniency in disciplinary actions is appropriate, based on the severity of the violation and the level of cooperation provided by the associate. 26. COMPLIANCE AUDITS -- While all associates are expected to abide by the provisions of this Policy on Business Ethics, there will be periodic reviews made by our auditors and others, when appropriate, to ensure that compliance is achieved in all operations. 27. ACTIONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE -- All issues of non-compliance with this policy will be reviewed and evaluated according to the circumstances and severity of the problem. Senior management will take actions as it deems appropriate, which can include disciplinary action up to and including termination, legal action, and other measures. 28. SETTING THE TONE AT THE TOP -- The Executive Officers including, but not limited to, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as leaders within Lodgian, are charged with the additional responsibility to set the tone for ethical conduct throughout the Company by complying with the following: 1. Creating an environment within the Company in which compliance with this Policy on Business Ethics is treated as a serious obligation and policy breaches will be not tolerated. 2. Adhering to and promoting the best of corporate governance practices in exercising oversight of the Company. This includes recommending updates to this policy to reflect evolving standards for ethical business operations and the behaviors of associates. 3. Educating associates about applicable rules and regulations and monitoring compliance with these requirements. 4. Establishing procedures for associates to report possible wrongdoing to senior management. 5. Reporting irregularities, deficiencies in the Company's internal controls, and violations to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. 29. FOLLOW-UP -- The Lodgian policy on business ethics must be disseminated throughout the company. Managers should encourage associates to discuss with them any questions regarding compliance with this policy. Associates are encouraged to be candid with management if they believe there are violations of this policy, regardless of how insignificant it may be. Page 7 of 8 LODGIAN'S POLICY ON BUSINESS ETHICS Managers must review this policy with their associates once per year and investigate any indications of unethical conduct with assistance from the Senior Vice President -- General Counsel. Officers, presidents, vice presidents and persons responsible for purchasing goods must provide a written statement each year acknowledging their understanding of the code of ethics as it relates to them and confirming that they have complied with this policy in the conduct of Lodgian's business or indicating the extent to which they have not complied with the policy. All associates are expected to comply with this policy. Page 8 of 8 EX-21 3 g00167exv21.txt EX-21. LODGIAN'S LIST OF SUBSIDIARIES . . . EXHIBIT 21 SUBSIDIARIES OF LODGIAN, INC.
