PART I



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------



General



The Company was organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust on
January 15, 1998 to buy, own and lease primarily upscale and luxury full-service hotels located in convention, resort and major urban business markets. As of December 31, 2004, the Company owned interests in 19 hotels with approximately 6,300
rooms/suites located in ten states and the District of Columbia. Independent hotel operators manage the hotels. The Company is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests, and that may reduce its federal taxable income to the extent it distributes taxable dividends to its shareholders.



Substantially all of the Companys assets are held by, and all of its
operations are conducted through, LaSalle Hotel Operating Partnership, L.P. The Company is the sole general partner of the operating partnership with an approximate 98.7% ownership interest at December 31, 2004. The remaining 1.3% is held by limited
partners who hold 383,090 limited partnership units. Limited partnership units are redeemable for cash or, at the option of the Company, for a like number of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company. The hotels
are leased under participating leases that provide for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) base rent or (ii) participating rent based on fixed percentages of gross hotel revenues.



The Companys principal offices are located at 3 Bethesda Metro Center, Suite 1200, Bethesda, MD 20814. The
Companys website is www.lasallehotels.com. The Company makes available on its website free of charge its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current
reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports.

Strategies and Objectives



The Companys primary objectives are to provide a stable stream of income to its shareholders through increases in
distributable cash flow and to increase long-term total returns to shareholders through appreciation in the value of its common shares of beneficial interest. To achieve these objectives, the Company seeks to:



| |  |  | enhance the return from, and the value of, the hotels in which it owns interests and any additional hotels the Company may acquire or develop; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | invest in or acquire additional hotel properties on favorable terms.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company seeks to achieve revenue growth principally through:



| |  |  | renovations, repositioning and/or expansions at selected hotels;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acquisitions of full-service hotels located in convention, resort and major urban business markets in the U.S. and abroad, especially upscale and luxury full-service hotels in such
markets where the Company perceives strong demand growth or significant barriers to entry; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | selective development of hotel properties, particularly upscale and luxury full-service hotels in high demand markets where development economics are favorable.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company intends to acquire additional hotels
in targeted markets, consistent with the growth strategies outlined above and which may:



| |  |  | possess unique competitive advantages in the form of location, physical facilities or other attributes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | be available at significant discounts to replacement cost, including when such discounts result from reduced competition for hotels with long-term management and/or franchise
agreements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | benefit from brand or franchise conversion, new management, renovations or redevelopment or other active and aggressive asset management strategies; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | have expansion opportunities.
| | - |  | -----------------------------



The Company seeks to grow through strategic relationships with premier, internationally recognized hotel operating companies including: Westin Hotels and
Resorts, Sheraton Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc., Outrigger Lodging Services, Noble House Hotels and Resorts, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, L.L.C., Benchmark Hospitality,
White Lodging Services Corporation, Davidson Hotel Company and Sandcastle Resorts & Hotels. The Company believes that having multiple independent operators creates a network that will generate acquisition opportunities. In addition, the Company
believes its acquisition capabilities are enhanced by its considerable experience, resources and relationships in the hotel industry specifically and the real estate industry generally.



Hotel Acquisitions



The Company acquired ten upscale and luxury full-service hotels in connection with its initial public offering. The Company has since sold five of these
hotels. In addition to continuing to hold five hotels acquired in connection with its IPO, the Company has acquired the following hotel interests:



| |  |  | 100% interest in the 462-room San Diego Paradise Point Resort for a net purchase price of $73.0 million in June 1998;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the 270-room Harborside Hyatt Conference Center & Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts for a net purchase price of $73.5 million in June 1998;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the 222-room Hotel Viking in Newport, Rhode Island for a net purchase price of $28.0 million in June 1999;

Recent Developments



On January 6, 2005, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Hilton San
Diego Gaslamp Quarter, a 282-room upscale full-service hotel located in the Gaslamp historic district in downtown San Diego, California, for $85.0 million. The source of the funding for the acquisition was the Companys senior unsecured bank
facility. The property is leased to LHL, and Davidson Hotel Company was retained to manage the property.



On January 10, 2005, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Grafton on Sunset, a 108-room, upscale full-service hotel located in West Hollywood,
California, for $25.5 million. The source of the funding for the acquisition was the Companys senior unsecured bank facility. The property is leased to LHL, and Outrigger Lodging Services was retained to manage the property.



Hotel Dipositions



In September 2004, the Company sold the Omaha Marriott for a net sale proceeds of approximately $28.6 million because the
hotel was no longer considered consistent with the Companys long-term portfolio strategy. The Company has since redeployed these net proceeds in markets that it believes exhibit stronger fundamentals.

Hotel Renovations



The Company believes that its regular program of capital improvements at the hotels, including replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and
equipment, helps maintain and enhance its competitiveness and maximizes revenue growth under the participating leases. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company invested approximately $37.2 million on renovations and additional capital
improvements at the hotels. The Company plans to invest approximately $55.0 million on renovations and additional capital improvements at its hotel properties during 2005. As of December 31, 2004, purchase orders and letters of commitment totaling
approximately $15.0 million had been issued for renovations at the hotels. The Company has committed to these projects and anticipates making similar arrangements with the existing hotels or any future hotels that it may acquire. Any unexpended
amounts will remain the property of the Company upon termination of the participating leases.



Tax Status



The Company
has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As a result, the Company generally is not subject to corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is currently distributed to shareholders. A REIT is
subject to a number of highly technical and complex organizational and operational requirements, including requirements with respect to the nature of its gross income and assets and a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its
taxable income. The Company may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property.



Effective January 1, 2001, the Company elected to operate its wholly-owned subsidiary, LaSalle Hotel Lessee, Inc. (LHL), as provided for under
the REIT Modernization Act as a taxable-REIT subsidiary. Accordingly, LHL is required to pay income taxes at the applicable rates.



Seasonality



The hotels operations historically have been seasonal. The hotels maintain higher occupancy rates during the second and third quarters. The Seaview
Marriott Resort and Spa and Lansdowne Resort, which generate a portion of their revenues from golf-related business, have revenues that fluctuate according to the season and the weather. These seasonality patterns can be expected to cause
fluctuations in the Companys quarterly lease revenue under the participating leases with third-party lessees and hotel operating revenue from LHL.



Competition



The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotel properties. The number of
competitive hotel properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on occupancy, average daily rate and room revenue per available room of the Companys current hotels or at hotels acquired in the future. The Company may be
competing for investment opportunities with entities that have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. These entities may generally be able to accept more risk than the Company can prudently manage, including risks with respect
to the creditworthiness of a hotel operator or the geographic proximity of its investments. Competition may generally reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to the Company and increase the bargaining power of property owners
seeking to sell.



Environmental Matters



In connection with the ownership of hotels, the Company is subject to
various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to environmental protection. Under these laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain
hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in such property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner

##### Table of Contents

or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, the presence of contamination from hazardous or
toxic substances, or the failure to remediate such contaminated property properly, may adversely affect the owners ability to borrow using such property as collateral. Furthermore, a person who arranges for the disposal or treatment of a
hazardous or toxic substance at a property owned by another, or who transports such substance to or from such property, may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substance released into the environment at the disposal or
treatment facility. The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances may adversely affect the owners ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as
collateral. In connection with the ownership of hotels the Company may be potentially liable for such costs.



The Company believes that its hotels are in compliance, in all material respects, with all federal, state and local environmental ordinances and
regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other environmental matters, the violation of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has not received written notice from any governmental authority of any
material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or other environmental matters in connection with any of its present properties.



Employees



The Company had 23 employees as of February 15, 2005. All persons employed in the day-to-day operations of the hotels are employees of the management
companies engaged by the lessees to operate such hotels.

charters of its board committees, its code of ethics and conduct, its corporate governance guidelines and its whistleblower policy on its website at www.lasallehotels.com. Copies of these documents are available in print to any shareholder
who requests them. Requests should be sent to LaSalle Hotel Properties, 3 Bethesda Metro Center, Suite 1200, Bethesda, Maryland, 20814. Attn: Hans S. Weger, Corporate Secretary.



Risk Factors



Additional Factors that May Affect Future Results



The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it may currently deem immaterial also may impair its business operations. If any of the following risks occur, the
Companys business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.



The Companys return on its hotels depends upon the ability of the lessees and the hotel operators to operate and manage the hotels



To maintain its status as a REIT, the Company is not permitted to operate
any of its hotels. As a result, the Company is unable to directly implement strategic business decisions with respect to the operation and marketing of its hotels, such as decisions with respect to the setting of room rates, repositioning of a
hotel, food and beverage prices and certain similar matters. Although it consults with the lessees and hotel operators with respect to strategic business plans, the lessees and hotel operators are under no obligation to implement any of the
Companys recommendations with respect to such matters.

The Companys performance and its ability to make distributions on its capital shares are subject to risks
associated with the hotel industry



Competition for
Guests, Increases in Operating Costs, Dependence on Travel and Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect the Companys Cash Flow.The hotels are subject to all operating risks common to the hotel industry. These
risks include:



| |  |  | competition for guests and meetings from other hotels including competition from internet wholesalers and distributors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in operating costs, including wages, benefits, insurance, property taxes and energy, due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset in the future by increased
room rates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | dependence on demand from business and leisure travelers, which may fluctuate and be seasonal;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in energy costs, airline fares and other expenses related to travel, which may negatively impact traveling;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | terrorism alerts and warnings and military actions such as the war in Iraq, which may cause decreases in business and leisure travel; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse effects of weak general and local economic conditions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



These factors could adversely affect the ability of the lessees to generate revenues and to make rental payments to the Company.



Unexpected Capital Expenditures Could Adversely Affect the Companys
Cash Flow.    Hotels require ongoing renovations and other capital improvements, including periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment. Under the terms of its leases, the Company is obligated to
pay the cost of certain capital expenditures at the hotels and to pay for periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment. If capital expenditures exceed expectations, there can be no assurance that sufficient sources of
financing will be available to fund such expenditures. In addition, the Company may acquire hotels in the future that require significant renovation. Renovation of hotels involves numerous risks, including the possibility of environmental problems,
construction cost overruns and delays, the impact on current demand, uncertainties as to market demand or deterioration in market demand after commencement of renovation and the emergence of unanticipated competition from other hotels.



The Companys obligation to comply with financial covenants in its senior
unsecured bank facility and mortgages on some of its hotel properties could restrict its range of operating activities



The Company has a senior unsecured bank facility with a syndicate of banks, which provides for a maximum borrowing of up to $300.0 million. The senior
unsecured bank facility matures on December 31, 2006 and has a one-year extension option. Funding for the new unsecured bank facility occurred on August 30, 2004, at which time it replaced the Companys prior senior unsecured bank facility. The
senior unsecured bank facility contains certain financial covenants relating to debt service coverage, minimum tangible net worth and total funded indebtedness.



The Companys bank facility contains financial covenants that could restrict its ability to incur additional indebtedness or make distributions on
its common shares. The senior unsecured bank facility contains certain financial covenants relating to debt service coverage, net worth and total funded indebtedness; it also contains financial covenants that, assuming no continuing defaults, allow
the Company to make shareholder distributions which, when combined with the distributions to shareholders in the three immediately preceding fiscal quarters, do not exceed the greater of (i) funds from operations from the preceding four-quarter
rolling period or (ii) the greater of (a) the amount of distributions required for the Company to maintain its status as a REIT or (b) the amount required to ensure that the Company will avoid imposition of an excise tax for failure to make certain



6

##### Table of Contents

minimum distributions on a calendar-year basis. Availability under the bank facility may be reduced by hotel financing that the Company obtains outside the
bank facility. Pursuant to the bank facility, the amount of outside financing is limited to specified levels. If the Company is unable to borrow under the bank facility, it could adversely affect the Companys financial condition.



The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, LHL, has a senior unsecured
bank facility with U.S Bank National Association, which provides for a maximum borrowing of up to $25.0 million. The senior unsecured bank facility matures on December 31, 2006. The senior unsecured bank facility contains certain financial covenants
relating to debt service coverage, minimum tangible net worth and total funded indebtedness.



The Sheraton Bloomington Hotel Minneapolis South, Westin City Center Dallas, Le Montrose Suite Hotel, San Diego Paradise Point Resort, Indianapolis Marriott Downtown and Hilton Alexandria Old Town are each mortgaged
to secure payment of indebtedness aggregating approximately $211.8 million as of December 31, 2004. The Harborside Hyatt Conference Center & Hotel is mortgaged to secure payment of principal and interest on bonds with an aggregate par value of
approximately $42.5 million. In addition, the joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown in which the Company holds a non-controlling 9.9% ownership interest is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness of $140.0 million. The
Companys prorate share of the loan is approximately $13.9 million. If the Company is unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgage securing the specific property could be foreclosed upon by, or the property could be otherwise transferred to,
the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value to the Company. From time to time, the Company may mortgage additional hotels to secure payment of additional indebtedness.



The Companys performance is subject to real estate industry conditions and the terms of our leases



Because Real Estate Investments Are Illiquid, the Company May Not Be Able
to Sell Hotels When Desired.    Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. The Company may not be able to vary its portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions. In addition, provisions of the
Code limit a REITs ability to sell properties in some situations when it may be economically advantageous to do so.



Liability for Environmental Matters Could Adversely Affect the Companys Financial Condition.    As an owner of real
property, the Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment that may require a current or previous owner of real estate to investigate and clean-up hazardous or toxic
substances at a property. These laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants, and liability is not limited under the enactments and could exceed the value of the property
and/or the aggregate assets of the owner. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the clean-up costs of the substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such
facility is owned or operated by the person. Even if more than one person were responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for the entire amount of clean-up costs incurred.



Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of
asbestos-containing materials. These laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with
asbestos-containing materials. In connection with ownership (direct or indirect) of its hotels, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of properties with asbestos-containing materials. Having arranged for the disposal or treatment of
contaminants, the Company may be potentially liable for removal, remediation and other costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property.



The Costs of Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Could Adversely Affect the Companys Cash
Flow.    Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all public accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. A determination that the



7



---

##### Table of Contents

Company is not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private
litigants.



Certain Leases and Management Agreements May
Constrain the Company from Acting in the Best Interests of Shareholders or Require it to Make Certain Payments.    The Harborside Hyatt Conference Center & Hotel, the San Diego Paradise Point Resort, Indianapolis Marriott
Downtown and one of two golf courses, the Pines, at Seaview Marriott Resort and Spa are each subject to a ground lease with a third-party lessor. The ground leases for the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown and the Pines golf course at Seaview Marriott
Resort and Spa are each for one dollar per year. In order for the Company to sell any of these hotels or to assign its leasehold interest in any of these ground leases, it must first obtain the consent of the relevant third-party lessor. The
Sheraton Bloomington Hotel Minneapolis South is also subject to a ground lease with a third-party lessor; third-party lessor consent is required to assign the leasehold interest unless the assignment is in conjunction with the sale of the hotel.
Accordingly, if the Company determines that the sale of any of these hotels or the assignment of its leasehold interest in any of these ground leases is in the best interest of its shareholders, the Company may be prevented from completing such a
transaction if it is unable to obtain the required consent from the relevant lessor.



In some instances, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of the hotel operator or franchisor prior to selling the hotel. Typically, such consent is only required in connection with certain proposed sales,
such as if the proposed purchaser is engaged in the operation of a competing hotel or does not meet certain minimum financial requirements. Hotels where operator approval of certain sales may be required include the Chicago Marriott Downtown and
Harborside Hyatt Conference Center & Hotel.



The Westin
City Center Dallas is a unit of a commercial condominium complex and is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the owner of the remaining condominium units. The Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter is a unit of a commercial condominium complex
and is not subject to a right of first refusal by the owner of the remaining condominium units. In addition, the Company is subject to certain rights of first refusal or similar rights with respect to the following hotels: Hotel Viking, LaGuardia
Airport Marriott, Seaview Marriott Resort and Spa and Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. Similarly, the operator of the D.C. Collection hotels has a right of first offer and a right of first refusal, excluding the Hotel George, if any of the hotels is
sold other than through a public bidding process. Finally, the Company is subject to franchisors certain rights of first offer with respect to the Hilton Alexandria Old Town.



If the Company determines to terminate a lease with a third-party lessee (other than in connection with a default by such
lessee), it may be required to pay a termination fee calculated based upon the value of the lease.



Increases in interest rates may increase our interest expense



As of December 31, 2004, approximately $56.4 million of aggregate indebtedness (21.0% of total indebtedness) was subject to variable interest rates. The
aggregate indebtedness balance includes the Companys $13.9 million pro rata portion of indebtedness relating to the Companys joint venture investment in the Chicago Marriott Downtown hotel. An increase in interest rates could increase
the Companys interest expense and reduce its cash flow and its ability to make distributions to shareholders and to service its indebtedness.



Failure to qualify as a REIT would be costly



The Company has operated (and intends to so operate in the future) so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code beginning with its taxable year ended
December 31, 1998. Although management believes that the Company is organized and operated in a manner to so qualify, no assurance can be given that the Company will qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.



If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be
subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Moreover,



8



---

##### Table of Contents

unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company also will be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years
following the year during which qualification was lost. This treatment would cause the Company to incur additional tax liabilities and would significantly impair the Companys ability to service indebtedness, and reduce the amount of cash
available to make new investments or to make distributions on its common shares of beneficial interest and preferred shares.



Property ownership through partnerships and joint ventures could limit the Companys control of those investments



Partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise
present for investments made solely by the Company, including the possibility that its co-investors might become bankrupt, might at any time have different interests or goals from those of the Company, and may take action contrary to the
Companys instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including its policy with respect to maintaining its qualification as a REIT. Other risks of joint venture investments include an impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither
the Companys co-investors nor the Company would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. There is no limitation under the Companys organizational documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in partnerships or
joint ventures.



Tax consequences upon a sale or refinancing of properties
may result in conflicts of interest



Holders of units of
limited partnership interest in the operating partnership or co-investors in properties not owned entirely by the Company may suffer different and more adverse tax consequences than the Company upon the sale or refinancing of properties. The Company
may have different objectives from these co-investors and unitholders regarding the appropriate pricing and timing of any sale or refinancing of these properties. While the Company, as the sole general partner of the operating partnership, has the
exclusive authority as to whether and on what terms to sell or refinance each property owned solely by the operating partnership, some of its trustees who have interests in units of limited partnership may seek to influence the Company not to sell
or refinance the properties, even though such a sale might otherwise be financially advantageous to it, or may seek to influence the Company to refinance a property with a higher level of debt.



The Company may not have enough insurance



The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake,
extended coverage and business interruption policies that insure it against losses with policy specifications and insurance limits that the Company believes are reasonable. There are certain types of losses that management may decide not to insure
against since the cost of insuring is not economical. The Company may suffer losses that exceed its insurance coverage. Further, market conditions, changes in building codes and ordinances or other factors such as environmental laws may make it too
expensive to repair or replace a property that has been damaged or destroyed, even if covered by insurance.

|Item 3. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------



The nature of the operations of the hotels exposes them to the risk of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined, management does not expect the ultimate
resolution of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operations or liquidity of the hotels.



Litigation



The Company has engaged Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. to manage and operate its Dallas hotel under the Westin brand affiliation. Meridien
Hotels, Inc. (Meridien) affiliates had been operating the Dallas property as a wrongful holdover tenant, until the Westin brand conversion occurred on July 14, 2003 under court order.



On December 20, 2002, affiliates of Meridien abandoned the Companys New
Orleans hotel. The Company entered into a lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of LHL and an interim management agreement with Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc., and re-named the hotel the New Orleans Grande Hotel. The New Orleans property
thereafter was sold on April 21, 2003 for $92.5 million.



In
connection with the termination of the Meridien affiliates at these hotels, the Company is currently in litigation with Meridien and related affiliates. The Company believes its sole potential obligation in connection with the termination of the
leases is to pay fair market value of the leases, if any. With respect to the Dallas hotel, the Company has obtained a judgment from the court that Meridien defaulted and that Meridien is not entitled to the payment of fair market value. With
respect to the New Orleans hotel, the issue of default by the lessee, among other claims, is currently in trial. Arbitration of the fair market value of the New Orleans lease commenced in October 2002. On December 19, 2002, the arbitration panel
determined that Meridien was entitled to an award of approximately $5.7 million in connection with the New Orleans property, subject to adjustment (reduction) by the courts to account for Meridiens holdover. In order to dispute the arbitration
decision, the Company was required to post a $7.8 million surety bond, which was secured by $5.9 million of restricted cash. The Company successfully challenged the award on appeal, and the dispute has been remanded to the trial court.
Meridiens request for rehearing was denied on March 31, 2004, and Meridien did not petition to the Louisiana Supreme Court. In June 2004, the $7.8 million surety bond was released and the $5.9 million restricted cash securing it was returned
to the Company.



In 2002 the Company recognized a net $2.5
million contingent lease termination expense and reversed previously deferred assets and liabilities related to the termination of both the New Orleans property and Dallas property leases and recorded a corresponding contingent liability included in
accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes, however, it is owed holdover rent per the lease terms due to Meridiens failure to vacate the properties as required under the
leases. The contingent lease termination expense was therefore net of the holdover rent the Company believes it is entitled to for both properties. In the first, second and third quarters of 2003, the Company adjusted this liability by additional
holdover rent of $395, $380 and $52, respectively, that it believes it is entitled to for the Dallas property. These amounts were recorded as other income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The contingent lease termination
expense recognized cumulatively since 2002 is comprised of (dollars in thousands):

In September 2004, after evaluating the ongoing Meridien litigation, the Company accrued additional net
legal fees of $850 due to litigation timeline changes in order to conclude this matter. As a result, the net contingent lease termination liability has a balance of approximately $2.0 million as of December 31, 2004, which is included in accounts
payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Based on the claims the Company has against Meridien, the Company is and will continue to challenge Meridiens claim that it is entitled to the payment of fair market
value, and will continue to seek reimbursement of legal fees and damages. These amounts may exceed or otherwise may be used to offset any amounts potentially owed to Meridien, and therefore ultimately may offset or otherwise reduce any contingent
lease termination expense. Additionally, the Company cannot provide any assurances that the holdover rents will be collectible or that the amounts due will not be greater than the recorded contingent lease termination expense.



The Company maintained a lien on Meridiens security deposit on both
disputed properties with an aggregate value of approximately $3.3 million, in accordance with the lease agreements. The security deposits were liquidated in May 2003 with the proceeds used to partially satisfy Meridiens outstanding
obligations, including certain working capital notes and outstanding base rent.



Meridien also has sued the Company and one of the Companys officers alleging that certain actions taken in anticipation of re-branding the Dallas and New Orleans hotels under the Westin brand affiliation
constituted unfair trade practices, false advertising, trademark infringement, trademark dilution and tortious interference. The Company intends to vigorously challenge Meridiens claims if and when this matter gets set for trial.



The Company does not believe that the amount of any fees or damages it may
be required to pay on any of the litigation related to Meridien will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations, taken as a whole. The Companys management has discussed this contingency
and the related accounting treatment with the audit committee of its Board of Trustees.



The Company is not presently subject to any other material litigation nor, to the Companys knowledge, is any other litigation threatened against the Company, other than routine actions for negligence or other
claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance and all of which collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity,
results of operations or business or financial condition of the Company.

|(1) |  | Represents advisory fee paid to the external advisor for acquisition, management, advisory, employee lease and administrative services provided to the Company. The external advisor
received an annual base fee of up to 5.0% of the Companys net operating income, as defined in the advisory agreement, and an annual incentive fee. The external management agreement was terminated as of January 1, 2001.

|(2) |  | The Company considers the non-GAAP measure of funds from operations (FFO) to be a key supplemental measure of the Companys performance and should be considered
along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of the Companys operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over
time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider supplemental measurements of performance to be helpful in evaluating a real estate companys operations. The
Company believes that excluding the effect of gains or losses from debt restructuring, extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based
on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that
accrues directly to common shareholders. However, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs.

The White Paper on FFO approved by NAREIT in April 2002 defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses
from debt restructuring, sales of properties and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs) and after comparable adjustments for the
Companys portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define
the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently from the Company.



FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow
from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO is not a measure of the Companys liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds

available to fund the Companys cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. FFO does not reflect cash expenditures for long-term
assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO may include funds that may not be available for managements discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and
other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or evaluation of the Companys operating performance.

Overview



In 2004, the overall economy and the travel industry, including lodging, gained momentum from the recovery that commenced in
the second half of 2003. We believe the lodging industry is now in the beginning of a new, multi-year up-cycle, assuming a normal economic growth period. With a strong balance sheet and high quality hotel portfolio, the Company was able to take
advantage of this environment, significantly increasing room revenue per available room (RevPAR), Funds from Operations (FFO), and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) at the
hotel level. The Companys revenues come primarily from hotel operating revenues from its hotels. Hotel operating revenues include room revenue, food and beverage revenue and other ancillary revenue such as golf revenue at our two golf resorts
and telephone and parking revenue.



For 2004, we had net income
of $10.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share. FFO was $48.4 million, or $1.74 per diluted share/unit and EBITDA was $76.3 million. RevPAR was $103.49. We consider RevPAR and EBITDA to be key measures of the individual hotels performance.
RevPAR for the total portfolio increased 9.1% for 2004. The RevPAR increase is attributable to an Average Daily Rate (ADR) increase of 4.0% to $152.31, while occupancy improved by 4.9% to 67.9% percent. EBITDA at the corporate level
declined 12.5% due to the $36.7 million net gain on disposal of assets recognized in 2003. At the hotel level, EBITDA increased $7.4 million due to higher ADR and occupancy.



The Company continuously uses these measures to evaluate each hotels contribution toward reaching the Companys
goal of maintaining a reliable stream of income and moderate growth to shareholders. The Company invests in capital improvements throughout the portfolio to continue to positively impact the competitiveness of its hotels and positively impact their
financial performance. The Company actively seeks to acquire new hotel properties that meet its investment criteria. However, due to a high level of competitive capital resources the Company continues to face significant competition for acquisitions
that meet its investment criteria.

Critical Accounting Policies



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, LHL and its
consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of certain 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. In preparing these financial statements,
management has utilized the information available including its past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the consolidated
financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is an estimated contingent lease termination expense of $0.9 million and an immaterial amount for the years ended December
31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the Companys litigation with Meridien Hotels, Inc. (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings). Additionally, included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is an estimated liability of $2.0
million related to the Companys litigation with Meridien Hotels, Inc. (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings), an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.3 million and an estimated deferred tax asset of $14.5 million as of December 31, 2004.
Management believes that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized and has determined that no valuation allowance is required.



It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by management in formulating its estimates inherent in these financial statements might not
materialize. However, application of the critical accounting policies below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, other
companies may determine these estimates differently, which may impact comparability of the Companys results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.



Revenue Recognition



For properties not leased by LHL, the Company recognizes lease revenue on an accrual basis pursuant to the terms of the respective participating leases.
Base rent and participating rent are recognized based on quarterly thresholds, pursuant to the lease agreements. For properties leased by LHL, the Company recognizes hotel operating revenue on an accrual basis consistent with the hotel operations.



For the Lansdowne Resort, the Company defers golf membership
fees and recognizes revenue over the average expected life of an active membership (currently six years) on a straight-line basis. Golf membership, health club and executive club annual dues are recognized as earned throughout the membership year.



Investment in Hotel Properties



Upon acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of assets to
asset classes based on the fair value of the acquired real estate, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible assets. The Companys investments in hotel properties are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method
over an estimated useful life of 30 years for buildings and improvements and three to five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over
their estimated useful lives.



The Company is required to make
subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation expense to reflect each year with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on the Companys net
income. Should the Company lengthen the expected useful life of particular assets, it would be depreciated over more years, and result in less depreciation expense and higher annual net income.

##### Table of Contents

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of each hotel to determine if circumstances exist
indicating impairment to the carrying value of the investment in the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will prepare an estimate of the undiscounted
future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying value
of the hotel to reflect the hotel at fair value. These assessments have a direct impact on the Companys net income, because making an impairment adjustment results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The Company does not believe
that there are any facts or circumstances indicating impairment in its hotels.



In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, a hotel is considered held for sale when a
contract for sale is entered into or when management has committed to a plan to sell an asset, the asset is actively marketed and sale is expected to occur within one year.



Stock-Based Compensation



The Company has applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the 1998 stock incentive and option plan.
Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized for stock options granted to the Companys employees. The Company has not issued any options since 2002. Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense is
recognized upon the granting of stock options when the exercise price of such options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation cost pursuant to FAS 123 for restricted shares issued
based upon the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company provides additional pro forma disclosures as required under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148 in the notes to its consolidated financial statements.



Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2004 to the Year Ended December 31, 2003



Hotel operating revenues



Hotel operating revenues from the hotels leased to LHL (16 hotels as of December 31, 2004), including room revenue, food and beverage revenue and other
operating department revenues (which includes golf, telephone, parking and other ancillary revenues) increased approximately $95.6 million, from $166.2 million in 2003 to $261.8 million in 2004. This increase includes amounts that are not comparable
year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $37.7 million increase from the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, which was purchased in February 2004;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $15.6 million increase from the Lansdowne Resort, which was purchased in June 2003;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $9.4 million increase from the Westin City Center Dallas, which lease was transferred to LHL in July 2003;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $8.4 million increase from the Hilton Alexandria Old Town, which was purchased in May 2004;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $5.7 million increase from the Hotel George, which was purchased in September 2003; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.0 million increase from Chaminade Resort and Conference Center, which was purchased in November 2004.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining increase of $17.8 million, or 10.7%, is attributable to increases in RevPAR and associated Food & Beverage
and Other Revenue for our other properties leased to LHL. While ADR increased, the majority of the increase in RevPAR is attributable to higher occupancies from stronger business travel.

##### Table of Contents

Overall, travel levels improved in 2004, when the industry benefited from continued relatively strong
leisure demand and significant increases in demand from business travelers. On a year-over-year basis, overall industry demand for hotel rooms significantly outpaced supply growth throughout the year, with occupancies up an average of 4.9% during
2004. With demand improving during 2004, we began to find it easier to achieve increased ADRs. Nevertheless, both the leisure traveler and the business traveler, group and transient, continue to be price sensitive, utilizing an aggressive
negotiation posture and internet sites to shop for the lowest rates. Additionally, the business is more competitive now because transient guests tend to book their rooms closer to their time of stay than in the past, and transient rooms get priced
lower than they otherwise would have been. Despite these rate challenges, many of our hotels experienced ADR increases during 2004, especially at our urban and convention hotels.



Participating lease revenue



Participating lease revenue from hotels leased to third-party lessees decreased $2.7 million from $21.3 million in 2003 to $18.6 million in 2004.
Participating lease revenue includes (i) base rent and (ii) participating rent based on fixed percentages of gross hotel revenues pursuant to the respective participating lease. This decrease includes amounts that are not comparable year-over-year
as follows:



| |  |  | $1.6 million decrease from the Westin City Center Dallas, which lease was transferred to LHL in July 2003.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining decrease of $1.1 million, or 5.2%, is primarily a result of a
decrease in RevPAR at San Diego Paradise Point Resort, which is leased to a third-party lessee. The lower RevPAR resulted from decreased occupancy and ADR from weak group and leisure demand and the difficult comparison to 2003s first quarter
that included the significant benefits to the San Diego Paradise Point Resort as a result of the Super Bowl held in San Diego.



Hotel operating expenses



Hotel operating expenses increased approximately $63.6 million from $123.1 million in 2003 to $186.7 million in 2004. This increase includes amounts that
are not comparable year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $25.2 million increase from the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, which was purchased in February 2004;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $11.2 million increase from the Lansdowne Resort, which was purchased in June 2003;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $6.8 million increase from the Westin City Center Dallas, which lease was transferred to LHL in July 2003;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $4.8 million increase from the Hilton Alexandria Old Town, which was purchased in May 2004;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $3.3 million increase from the Hotel George, which was purchased in September 2003; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.5 million increase from Chaminade Resort and Conference Center, which was purchased in November 2004.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining increase of $10.8 million, or 8.8%, is a result of higher occupancies at the hotels as well as above inflation
increases in payroll and related employee costs and benefits, sales and marketing, insurance and energy costs.



Depreciation and other amortization



Depreciation and other amortization expense increased by approximately $7.2 million from $31.7 million in 2003 to $38.9 million in 2004. This increase
includes amounts that are not comparable year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $4.9 million increase from the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, which was purchased in February 2004;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | $0.1 million increase from Chaminade Resort and Conference Center, which was purchased in November 2004.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining decrease of $1.3 million is due to certain furniture, fixture and equipment assets that were fully depreciated
during 2003 and 2004.



Real estate taxes, personal property
taxes, insurance and ground rent



Real estate taxes,
personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent expenses increased approximately $2.5 million from $12.9 million in 2003 to $15.4 million in 2004. This increase includes amounts that are not comparable year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $1.3 million increase from the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, which was purchased in February 2004;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $0.5 million increase from the Lansdowne Resort, which was purchased in June 2003;

| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $0.2 million increase from the Hilton Alexandria Old Town, which was purchased in May 2004.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining real estate taxes, personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent increased by a net approximate $0.3
million in 2004 for the remaining hotels.



General and
administrative expenses



General and administrative
expense increased approximately $1.1 million from $7.3 million in 2003 to $8.4 million in 2004, primarily as a result of increases in accounting fees, compliance costs and payroll-related expenses to executives and employees.



Interest expense



Interest expense increased by approximately $0.4 million from $12.7 million
in 2003 to $13.1 million in 2004 due to an increase in the Companys weighted average debt outstanding, offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate and an increase in capitalized interest. The Companys weighted average debt
outstanding related to continuing operations increased from $234.4 million in 2003 to $281.9 million in 2004, which includes increases from: (i) secured loan financing on the San Diego Paradise Point Resort in December 2003 of $65.0 million, the
Indianapolis Marriott Downtown in February 2004 of $57.0 million, and the Hilton Alexandria Old Town in August 2004 of $34.4 million, (ii) additional borrowings to purchase Chaminade Resort and Conference Center in November 2004, (iii) additional
borrowings under the Companys bank facility to finance other capital improvements during 2004, and (iv) additional borrowings to purchase the Hotel George in September 2003, offset by: (v) a $29.1 million paydown in June 2003 on the
Companys bank facility with proceeds from the June 2003 common share offering, (vi) a $24.2 million net paydown in September 2003 on the Companys bank facility with proceeds from the September 2003 Series B Preferred Share offering,
(vii) a $50.0 million net paydown on the Companys bank facility with proceeds from the November 2003 common stock offering, (viii) a $61.5 million net paydown on the Companys bank facility with proceeds from the May 2004 common stock
offering, (ix) pay-off of the mortgage secured by the Lansdowne Resort in February 2004, (x) an $8.0 million and $18.8 million paydown on the LHL Credit facility and the companys bank facility, respectively, with proceeds from the sale of
Omaha Marriott on September 15, 2004, (xi) a $54.9 million net

paydown on the Companys bank facility with proceeds from the November 2004 common stock offering and (xii) additional paydowns on the Companys
bank facility with operating cash flows. The Companys weighted average interest rate related to continuing operations decreased from 5.3% in 2003 to 4.6% in 2004. Capitalized interest increased by approximately $0.5 million from $0.3 million
in 2003 to $0.8 million in 2004, primarily due to 2004 capital expenditures related to the Lansdowne Resort development project.



Income taxes



Income tax benefit decreased approximately $2.1 million from $5.6 million in 2003 to $3.5 million in 2004. For 2004, the REIT incurred state and local
income tax expense of approximately $0.4 million. LHLs net loss before income tax benefit decreased by approximately $5.2 million from $14.9 million in 2003 to $9.7 million in 2004. Accordingly, for 2004, LHL recorded a federal income tax
benefit of approximately $2.9 million (using an estimated tax rate of 30.8%) and a state and local tax benefit of approximately $1.0 million (using an estimated tax rate of 10.7%). The portion of LHLs income tax benefit relating to the Omaha
property, the New Orleans property and the Key West property has been reclassified to discontinued operations. The following table summarizes the income tax (benefit) expense (dollars in thousands):

As of December 31,
2004, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $14,500 primarily due to past and current years tax net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will expire in 2021 thru 2024 if not utilized by then. Management believes that it is more likely
than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized and has determined that no valuation allowance is required.



Minority interest



Minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents the limited partners proportionate share of the equity in the Operating Partnership.
Income is allocated to minority interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the year. At December 31, 2004, the aggregate weighted average partnership interest held by the limited partners in the Operating Partnership was
approximately 1.52%. The following table summarizes the change in minority interest (dollars in thousands):

Discontinued operations



Net income from discontinued operations is a result of the sale of the Omaha property, the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort
property and the New Orleans property in September 2004, July 2003 and April 2003, respectively. Net income from discontinued operations decreased by approximately $32.6 million from $37.0 million in 2003 to $4.4 million in 2004. The following
table summarizes net income from discontinued operations from 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands):

Distributions to
preferred shareholders



Distributions to preferred
shareholders increased $1.7 million from $10.8 million in 2003 to $12.5 million in 2004. The Series B Preferred Shares were issued on September 30, 2003. Distributions were paid for the Series B Preferred Shares for the entire first, second and
third quarters of 2004, but there were no Series B Preferred Shares distributions in the first, second and third quarters of 2003. Distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares were paid for the full year in 2004 and 2003.



Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2003 to the Year Ended December 31, 2002



Hotel operating revenues



Hotel operating revenues from the hotels leased to LHL (13 hotels as of
December 31, 2003), including room revenue, food and beverage revenue and other operating department revenues (which includes golf, telephone, parking and other ancillary revenues) increased approximately $31.1 million, from $135.1 million in 2002
to $166.2 million in 2003. This increase includes amounts that are not comparable year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $20.5 million increase from the Lansdowne Resort, which was purchased in June 2003;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $6.2 million increase from the Westin City Center Dallas, which lease was transferred to LHL in July 2003;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $3.8 million increase from the Hotel Helix, which was closed and repositioned during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2002, but was open during all of 2003;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $3.6 million increase from the Hotel Madera, which was closed and repositioned during the second and third quarters of 2002, but was open during all of 2003; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | $2.0 million increase from the Hotel George, which was purchased in September 2003.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining change is a decrease of $5.0 million, or 3.7%, and is attributable to a 2.8% decrease in RevPAR for our
properties leased to LHL. While occupancies were up slightly, the decrease in RevPAR is primarily attributable to lower average daily room rates from weakness in primarily corporate transient demand.



Overall, travel levels improved in the second and third quarters, when the
industry benefited from relatively strong leisure demand. Compared to leisure travel, business travel continued to be weak. On a year-over-year basis, overall industry demand for hotel rooms significantly outpaced supply growth throughout the year,
with occupancies up an average of 2.6% in 2003. The current marketplace is still unbalanced, however, with supply high and occupancies relatively low. While demand improved during 2003, reflecting the early stage of an industry recovery, increasing
and/or maintaining room rates remains a challenge. Both the leisure traveler and the business traveler, group and transient, continue to be price sensitive, utilizing an aggressive negotiation posture and internet sites to shop for the lowest rates.
Additionally, the business is more competitive now because transient guests tend to book their rooms closer to their time of stay than in the past, and transient rooms get priced lower than they otherwise would have been. Many of the Companys
hotels experienced ADR declines during 2003, especially at the convention-oriented and urban-oriented hotels. Nevertheless, the Company is seeing meaningful improvements industry-wide in the way the internet is utilized. These changes can be
expected to improve rates obtained through the use of third-party and hotel or brand-specific internet sites, as well as lower distribution costs.



Participating lease revenue



Participating lease revenue from hotels leased to third-party lessees (two hotels) decreased $0.6 million from $21.9 million in 2002 to $21.3 million in
2003. Participating lease revenue includes (i) base rent and (ii) participating rent based on fixed percentages of hotel revenues pursuant to the respective participating lease. This decrease includes amounts that are not comparable year-over-year
as follows:



| |  |  | $1.3 million decrease from the Westin City Center Dallas, which lease was transferred to LHL in July, 2003, but was leased to a third party for the entire 2002 year; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $0.4 million decrease from the Radisson Convention Hotel as a result of transferring the lease to LHL in January 2002.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining change is an increase of $1.1 million, or 5.0%, and is a result
of an increase in RevPAR at the hotels leased to third-party lessees. The higher RevPAR resulted primarily from increased occupancy from strong leisure demand.



Hotel operating expenses



Hotel operating expenses increased approximately $25.9 million from $97.2 million in 2002 to $123.1 million in 2003. This increase includes amounts that
are not comparable year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $13.9 million increase from the Lansdowne Resort, which was purchased in June 2003;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $5.2 million increase from the Westin City Center Dallas, which lease was transferred to LHL in July 2003;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $2.9 million increase from the Hotel Madera, which was closed and repositioned during the second and third quarters of 2002, but was open during all of 2003;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $2.9 million increase from the Hotel Helix, which was closed and repositioned during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2002, but was open during all of 2003; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.2 million increase from the Hotel George, which was purchased in September 2003.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The remaining change is a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.2%, a result of cost savings initiatives at the
hotels.



Maintaining hotel margins continued to be a challenge
during 2003. The Company continued to see increases in payroll and related employee costs and benefits, insurance, energy and property taxes.



Depreciation and other amortization



Depreciation and other amortization expense increased by approximately $3.4 million from $28.3 million in 2002 to $31.7 million in 2003. This increase
includes amounts that are not comparable year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $1.8 million due to the closing and repositioning of the Hotel Madera and Hotel Helix during the second and third quarters of 2002 and the second, third and fourth quarters of 2002,
respectively;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.8 million from the Lansdowne Resort, which was purchased in June 2003; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $0.3 million from the Hotel George, which was purchased in September 2003.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining change is a decrease of $0.5 million because certain assets were fully depreciated during 2003.



Real estate taxes, personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent



Real estate taxes, personal property taxes, insurance and
ground rent expenses increased approximately $1.8 million from $11.1 million in 2002 to $12.9 million in 2003. This increase includes amounts that are not comparable year-over-year as follows:



| |  |  | $0.5 million increase from the Lansdowne Resort, which was purchased in June 2003; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $0.1 million increase from the Hotel George, which was purchased in September 2003.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The remaining increase of $1.2 million, or 10.8%, is a result of increased real estate tax rates and tax assessments and
higher insurance premiums overall for the hotels and higher ground rent at the San Diego and Boston properties because of higher revenues and additional parking charges, respectively.



Property taxes were up 12.9% in 2003. With state and local budgets showing deficits, many state and local governments have
increased real estate taxes. These rate increases have almost completely offset the success the Company has had getting reductions in property assessments, many of them through successful appeals. Property and casualty insurance, combined with
general liability, were up 30.1% for 2003; although price increases have recently moderated significantly from much larger increases over the last two years.



General and administrative expenses



General and administrative expense increased approximately $0.9 million from $6.4 million in 2002 to $7.3 million in 2003, primarily as a result of
increases in pursuit costs, trustees fees, legal and audit fees, technology expenses and payroll related expenses to executives and employees.



Interest expense



Interest expense increased by approximately $2.2 million from $10.5 million in 2002 to $12.7 million in 2003, due to an increase in the Companys
weighted average interest rate, an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding and a decrease in capitalized interest. The Companys weighted average interest rate related to continuing operations increased from 5.0% in 2002 to 5.3% in
2003. The Companys weighted average debt outstanding related to continuing operations increased from $209.9 million in 2002 to $234.4 million in 2003, which includes (i) an $81.9 million net paydown in March 2002 on the Companys senior
unsecured bank facility with proceeds from the March 2002 preferred share offering, (ii) a $29.1 million paydown in June 2003 on the Companys bank facility with proceeds from the June 2003 common stock offering, (iii) a $24.2 million

net paydown in September 2003 on the Companys bank facility with proceeds from the September 2003 Series B Preferred Share offering, (iv) $50.0 million
net paydown on the Companys bank facility with proceeds from the November 2003 common stock offering, and (v) additional paydowns on the Companys bank facility with operating cash flows, offset by: (vi) assumption of a $65.2 million
mortgage loan (including a $2.4 million mortgage premium) in conjunction with the purchase of the Lansdowne Resort in June 2003, (vii) additional borrowings for renovations of the Hotel Madera, Hotel Helix, Holiday Inn on the Hill and Hotel Viking
early in 2003, (viii) additional borrowings under the Companys bank facility to finance other capital improvements during 2003 and (ix) additional borrowings to purchase the Hotel George in September 2003.



Impairment of investment in hotel property



Impairment of investment in hotel properties increased approximately $2.5
million from zero due to the Companys management changing its intent from holding its investment in the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort to selling the property. As a result, the Company wrote down its investment in the Holiday Inn Beachside
Resort by $2.5 million in June 2003, to its estimated fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. The hotel was sold in July 2003.



Lease termination, advisory transition and subsidiary purchase expense



Lease termination, advisory transition, subsidiary purchase and contingent lease termination expense decreased $2.5 million from $2.5 million for 2002, to
less than $0.1 million for 2003. The 2002 amount consists of contingent expenses relating to terminating the Le Meridien New Orleans and Dallas leases.



Writedown of notes receivable



Writedown of notes receivable decreased approximately $0.2 million from $0.2 million for 2002 to zero for 2003. Writedown of notes receivable of $0.2
million in 2002 represents the adjustment to net realizable value of the furniture, fixtures and equipment notes receivable from the Dallas property based on the Companys valuation estimate of furniture, fixtures and equipment that secure the
loan.



Income taxes



Income tax benefit increased approximately $2.7 million from $2.9 million in
2002 to $5.6 million in 2003. For 2003, the REIT incurred state and local income tax expense of $0.5 million. LHLs net loss before income tax benefit increased by approximately $7.4 million from $7.5 million in 2002 to $14.9 million in 2003.
Accordingly, for 2003 LHL recorded a federal income tax benefit of approximately $4.7 million (using an estimated tax rate of 30.8%) and a state and local tax benefit of approximately $1.6 million (using an estimated tax rate of 10.7%). The portion
of LHLs income tax benefit relating to the Omaha property, the New Orleans property and the Key West property has been reclassified to discontinued operations. The following table summarizes the change in income tax benefit (dollars in
thousands):

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $10,424 primarily due to past and
current years tax net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will expire in 2021 thru 2023 if not utilized by then. Management believes that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized and has determined that
no valuation allowance is required. The deferred tax asset is classified as non-current because the reversal in the subsequent year cannot be reasonably estimated.



Minority interest



Minority interest in the operating partnership represents the limited partners proportionate share of the equity in the operating partnership.
Income is allocated to minority interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the year. At December 31, 2003, the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners in the operating partnership was approximately
2.066%. The following table summarizes the change in minority interest (dollars in thousands):

Discontinued operations



Net income from discontinued operations is a result of
the sale of the Omaha property, the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort property and the New Orleans property in September 2004, July 2003 and April 2003, respectively. Net income from discontinued operations increased by approximately $34.8 million from
$2.2 million in 2002 to $37.0 million in 2003. The following table summarizes net income/(loss) from discontinued operations from 2003 and 2002 (dollars in thousands):

Distributions to preferred shareholders



Distributions to preferred shareholders increased $2.4 million from $8.4 million in 2002 to $10.8 million in 2003. The
Series A Preferred Shares were issued on March 6, 2002 and the first quarter 2002 distribution was prorated for the actual number of days the Series A Preferred Shares were outstanding. The second, third and fourth quarter 2002 Series A Preferred
Shares distributions were paid for all quarters. By contrast, Series A Preferred Shares distributions for the year ended December 31, 2003 were paid for the entire year. The Series B Preferred Shares were issued on September 30, 2003. Distributions
were paid for the Series B Preferred Shares for the entire fourth quarter of 2003, but there were no Series B Preferred Shares distributions in 2002.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures



Funds From Operations



The Company considers the non-GAAP measure of funds from operations (FFO) to be a key supplemental measure of the Companys performance
and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of the Companys operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets
diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider supplemental measurements of performance to be helpful in evaluating a real estate
companys operations. The Company believes that excluding the effect of gains or losses from debt restructuring, extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated
entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does
not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. However, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs.



The White Paper on FFO approved by NAREIT in April 2002 defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses
from debt restructuring, sales of properties and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred finance costs) and after comparable adjustments for the
Companys portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define
the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company.



FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow
from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO is not a measure of the Companys liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Companys cash needs, including its ability to make cash
distributions. FFO does not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO may include funds that may not be available for managements discretionary use due to functional requirements to
conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or
evaluation of the Companys operating performance.

EBITDA



The Company considers the non-GAAP
measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to be a key measure of the Companys performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of the
Companys operating performance. Most industry investors consider EBITDA a measurement of performance that is helpful in evaluating a REITs operations. The Company believes that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash
charges, and the portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of
depreciation and amortization, and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders.



EBITDA does not represent cash generated from operating
activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of the Companys liquidity, nor is it
indicative of funds available to fund the Companys cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. EBITDA may
include funds that may not be available for managements discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this,
management considers the impact of the excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or evaluation of the Companys operating performance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



Investment in Joint Venture



The Company is a party to a joint venture arrangement with The Carlyle
Group, an institutional investor, that owns the 1,192-room Chicago Marriott Downtown in Chicago, Illinois. The Company owns a non-controlling 9.9% equity interest in the joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown. The Company receives an
annual preferred return in addition to its pro rata share of annual cash flow. The Company also has the opportunity to earn an incentive participation in net sale proceeds based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition
to its pro rata share of net sale or refinancing proceeds. The Chicago Marriott Downtown is leased to Chicago 540 Lessee, Inc., in which the Company also owns a non-controlling 9.9% equity interest. The Carlyle Group owns a 90.1% controlling
interest in both the joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown and Chicago 540 Lessee, Inc. Marriott International, Inc. operates the Chicago Marriott Downtown pursuant to a long-term incentive-based operating agreement. As the
controlling owner, The Carlyle Group may elect to dispose of the Chicago Marriott Downtown without the Companys consent. The Company accounts for its non-controlling 9.9% equity interest in each of the joint venture that owns the Chicago
Marriott Downtown and Chicago 540 Lessee, Inc. under the equity method of accounting.

The joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown and in which the Company holds a
non-controlling 9.9% ownership interest was subject to two mortgage loans for an aggregate principal amount of $120.0 million. The mortgage loans had two-year terms, and were due to expire in July 2004. On April 6, 2004, the joint venture that
owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown refinanced its existing two mortgage loans with a new mortgage loan for an aggregate principal amount of $140.0 million. Upon refinancing, the Company received approximately $1.8 million in cash representing its
prorated share of the proceeds. The new mortgage loan has a two-year term, expires in April 2006, and can be extended at the option of the joint venture for three additional one-year terms. The mortgage bears interest at the London InterBank Offered
Rate plus 2.25%. The joint venture has purchased a cap on the London InterBank Offered Rate capping the London InterBank Offered Rate at 7.25%, effectively limiting the rate on the mortgage to 9.5%. As of December 31, 2004, the interest rate on this
mortgage was 4.7%. Monthly interest-only payments are due in arrears throughout the term. The Chicago Marriott Downtown secures the mortgage. The Companys pro rata share of the mortgage loan is approximately $13.9 million and is included in
the Companys liquidity and capital resources discussion and in calculating debt coverage ratios under the Companys credit facility. No guarantee exists on behalf of the Company for this mortgage.



On November 2, 2004, the Chicago 540 Hotel Venture, in which the Company has
a non-controlling 9.9% ownership interest, obtained a three and a half year commitment for a $5.75 million FF&E credit facility to be used for partial funding of the FF&E costs related to the property. The FF&E credit facility matures on
the earlier of i) April 30, 2008, or ii) three years from the date on which the final borrowing is made. The borrower has an option to borrow portions of the principal debt bearing interest with reference to the base rate or to LIBOR, and portions
may be converted from one interest basis to another. Base rate will be the greater of i) the rate established by the lender as a base rate and which is designated by the lender as its U.S. prime rate, or ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. LIBOR
rate will be set two business days before the start of an interest period. The Chicago 540 Hotel Venture purchased a cap on London InterBank Offered Rate capping the London InterBank Offered Rate at 7.5%. Consistent with our ownership interest, the
Company is guaranteeing 9.9% of the credit facility. The companys maximum exposure under the FF&E facility is $569, and the guarantee will expire at the maturity of the credit facility. In the event of default, any outstanding principal
and accrued interest will be due and payable. As of December 31, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings under the FF&E credit facility.



Reserve Funds



The Company is obligated to maintain reserve funds for capital expenditures at the hotels (including the periodic replacement or refurbishment of
furniture, fixtures and equipment) as determined pursuant to the operating agreements. The Companys aggregate obligation under the reserve funds was approximately $20.1 million at December 31, 2004. Five of the operating agreements require
that the Company reserve restricted cash ranging from 4.0% to 5.5% of the individual hotels annual revenues. As of December 31, 2004, $5.7 million was available in restricted cash reserves for future capital expenditures. Fourteen of the
operating agreements require that the Company reserve funds of 4.0% of the individual hotels annual revenues but do not require the funds to be set aside in restricted cash. As of December 31, 2004, the total amount obligated for future
capital expenditures but not set aside in restricted cash reserves was $14.4 million. Amounts will be recorded as incurred. As of December 31, 2004, purchase orders and letters of commitment totaling approximately $17.0 million have been issued for
renovations at the hotels. The Company has committed to these projects and anticipates making similar arrangements with the existing hotels or any future hotels that it may acquire. Any unexpended amounts will remain the property of the Company upon
termination of the operating agreements.



The Company has no
other off-balance sheet arrangements.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Companys principal source of cash to meet its
cash requirements, including distributions to shareholders, is its pro rata share of hotel operating cash flow distributed by LHL and the Operating Partnerships

cash flow from the participating leases. Available cash is generally defined as net income plus any reduction in reserves and minus interest and principal
payments on debt, capital expenditures, and additions to reserves and other adjustments. The Companys senior unsecured bank facility contains certain financial covenants relating to debt service coverage, net worth and total funded
indebtedness and contains financial covenants that, assuming no continuing defaults, allow the Company to make shareholder distributions (see below). There are currently no contractual or other arrangements limiting payment of distributions by the
Operating Partnership. Similarly, LHL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Payments to the Operating Partnership are required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the lease agreements between LHL and the Operating Partnership
relating to the properties owned by the Operating Partnership and leased by LHL. Except for the security deposits required under the participating leases for the two hotels not leased by LHL, the lessees obligations under the participating
leases are unsecured and the lessees abilities to make rent payments to the Operating Partnership, and the Companys liquidity, including its ability to make distributions to shareholders, is dependent on the lessees abilities to
generate sufficient cash flow from the operations of the hotels.



In addition, cash flow from hotel operations is subject to all operating risks common to the hotel industry. These risks include:



| |  |  | competition for guests and meetings from other hotels, including competition from internet wholesalers and distributors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in operating costs including wages, benefits, insurance, property taxes and energy due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset in the future by increases
in room rates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | dependence on demand from business and leisure travelers, which may fluctuate and be seasonal;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in energy costs, airline fares, and other expenses related to travel, which may deter traveling;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | terrorism alerts and warnings and military actions such as the war in Iraq, which may cause decreases in business and leisure travel; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse affects of weak general and local economic conditions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



These factors could adversely affect the ability of the hotel operators to generate revenues and therefore adversely affect the lessees of the
Companys hotels and their ability to make rental payments to the Company pursuant to the participating leases and therefore impact the Companys liquidity.

assuming no continuing defaults, allow the Company to make shareholder distributions which, when combined with the distributions to shareholders in the three
immediately preceding fiscal quarters, do not exceed the greater of (i) funds from operations from the preceding four-quarter rolling period or (ii) the greater of (a) the amount of distributions required for the Company to maintain its status as a
REIT or (b) the amount required to ensure the Company will avoid imposition of an excise tax for failure to make certain minimum distributions on a calendar year basis. Borrowings under the new senior unsecured bank facility bear interest at

Company is required to pay a variable unused commitment fee determined from a ratings or leverage based pricing matrix, currently set at 0.250% of the unused portion of the senior unsecured bank facility. The Company incurred an unused commitment
fee of approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no outstanding borrowings against the senior unsecured bank facility.

February 25, 2006. The mortgage bears interest at the London InterBank Offered Rate plus 1.0%. As of December 31, 2004, the interest rate was 2.3%. On February 27, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year fixed interest rate swap that fixes the
London InterBank Offered Rate at 2.56% for the $57.0 million balance outstanding on this mortgage loan, and therefore fixes the mortgage interest rate at 3.56%. Monthly interest-only payments are due in arrears throughout the term. Interest expense
for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $1.2 million for the mortgage secured by the Indianapolis property plus an additional $0.5 million for the interest rate swap. The principal balance of this mortgage loan was $57.0 million and zero at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



On August 26, 2004,
the Company, through LHO Alexandria One, L.L.C., entered into a five-year mortgage loan that is secured by the Hilton Alexandria Old Town Hotel located in Alexandria, Virginia. The mortgage loan

matures on September 1, 2009 and does not allow for prepayment without penalty prior to June 1, 2009. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.98%
and requires interest and principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule. Monthly interest and principal payments are due in arrears throughout the term. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $0.6 million. The
principal balance of this mortgage loan was $34.2 million and zero at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

In November 2003, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 3,000,000 common shares of
beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $50.0 million. The net proceeds were used to repay existing
indebtedness under the Companys senior unsecured bank facility.



On May 12, 2004, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,700,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs, the
Company raised net proceeds of approximately $55.4 million. The net proceeds were used to repay existing indebtedness under the Companys senior unsecured credit facility. The Company sold an additional 300,000 common shares on May 13, 2004,
pursuant to an over allotment option for approximately $6.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.



On November 16, 2004, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 1,750,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share.
After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $54.9 million. The net proceeds were used to repay existing indebtedness under the Companys senior unsecured
credit facility and to fund future acquisitions.



At December
31, 2004, the Company had approximately $32.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $7.4 million of restricted cash reserves.



Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $55.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily due to the distribution of
available hotel operating cash by LHL and participating lease revenues, which were offset by payments for real estate taxes, personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent.



Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $172.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily due to
the purchases of the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, the Hilton Alexandria Old Town and Chaminade Resort and Conference Center, outflows for improvements and additions at the hotels, the funding of restricted cash reserves, offset by proceeds from
restricted cash reserves and proceeds from the sale of the Omaha Marriott.



Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $114.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, comprised of borrowings under the senior unsecured bank facility, proceeds from mortgage loans, proceeds
from the exercise of stock options and proceeds form the May 2004 and November 2004 common stock offerings, offset by repayments of borrowings under the senior unsecured bank facility, payment of distributions to the common shareholders and
unitholders and payments of distributions to preferred shareholders and mortgage loan repayments.



The Company has considered its short-term (one year or less) liquidity needs and the adequacy of its estimated cash flow from operations and other
expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. The Company believes that its principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements, distributions on the preferred shares and the minimum distribution
required to maintain the Companys REIT qualification under the Code. The Company anticipates that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities and using availability under the senior unsecured bank facility. The
Company also considers capital improvements and property acquisitions as short-term needs that will be funded either with cash flows provided by operating activities, utilizing availability under the senior unsecured bank facility, the issuance of
other indebtedness, or the issuance of additional equity securities.



The Company expects to meet long-term (greater than one year) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements utilizing availability
under the senior unsecured bank facility, estimated cash flows from operations, the issuance of long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity

securities. The Company expects to acquire or develop additional hotel properties only as suitable opportunities arise, and the Company will not undertake
acquisition or development of properties unless stringent acquisition/development criteria have been achieved.



Reserve Funds



The
Company is obligated to maintain reserve funds for capital expenditures at the hotels (including the periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment) as determined pursuant to the operating agreements. The Companys
aggregate obligation under the reserve funds was approximately $20.1 million at December 31, 2004. Four of the participating leases and one mortgage agreement require that the Company reserve restricted cash ranging from 4.0% to 5.5% of the
individual hotels annual revenues. As of December 31, 2004, $5.7 million was available in restricted cash reserves for future capital expenditures. Fourteen of the participating leases require that the Company reserve funds of 4.0% of the
individual hotels annual revenues but do not require the funds to be set aside in restricted cash. As of December 31, 2004, the total amount obligated for future capital expenditures but not set aside in restricted cash reserves was $14.4
million. Amounts will be capitalized as incurred. As of December 31, 2004, purchase orders and letters of commitment totaling approximately $17.0 million have been issued for renovations at the hotels. The Company has committed to these projects and
anticipates making similar arrangements with the existing hotels or any future hotels that it may acquire. Any unexpended amounts will remain the property of the Company upon termination of the participating leases.



The joint venture lease requires that the joint venture reserve restricted
cash of 5.0% of the Chicago Marriott Downtowns annual revenues; however, the joint venture is not consolidated in the Companys financial statements and, therefore, the amount of restricted cash reserves relating to the joint venture is
not recorded on the Companys books and records.



Subsequent Events



On January 6, 2005, the Company acquired a 100% interest
in the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, a 282-room upscale full-service hotel located in the Gaslamp historic district in downtown San Diego, CA, for $85.0 million. The source of the funding for the acquisition was the Companys senior
unsecured bank facility. The property is leased to LHL, and Davidson Hotel Company was hired to manage the property.



On January 10, 2005, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Grafton on Sunset, a 108-room, upscale full-service hotel located in West Hollywood, CA,
for $25.5 million. The source of the funding for the acquisition was the Companys senior unsecured bank facility. The property is leased to LHL, and Outrigger Lodging Services was retained to manage the property.



On January 14, 2005, the Company declared monthly cash distributions to
shareholders of the Company and partners of the operating partnership, in the amount of $0.08 per common share of beneficial interest/unit for each of the months of January, February and March 2005.



On January 14, 2005, the Company paid its December 2005 monthly distribution
of $0.08 per share/unit on its common shares of beneficial interest and units of limited partnership interest to shareholders and unit holders of record as of December 31, 2004.



On January 14, 2005, the Company paid its preferred distribution of $0.64 per Series A Preferred Share for the quarter ended
December 31, 2004 to preferred shareholders of record at the close of business on January 1, 2005.



On January 14, 2005, the Company paid its preferred distribution of $0.52 per Series B Preferred Share for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 to
preferred shareholders of record at the close of business on January 1, 2005.

##### Table of Contents

On January 25, 2005, the Company granted 40,917 restricted common shares of beneficial interest to the
Companys executive officers. The restricted shares granted vest over three years, starting January 1, 2007. These common shares were issued under the 1998 share option and incentive plan.



Inflation



The Companys revenues come primarily from its pro rata share of the operating partnerships cash flow from the
participating leases and the LHL hotel operating revenues, thus the Companys revenues will vary based on changes in the underlying hotels revenues. Therefore, the Company relies entirely on the performance of the hotels and the
lessees abilities to increase revenues to keep pace with inflation. The hotel operators can change room rates quickly, but competitive pressures may limit the lessees and hotel operators abilities to raise rates faster than
inflation or even at the same rate, as has been the case for the period from the second quarter of 2001 through 2003.



The Companys expenses (primarily real estate taxes, property and casualty insurance, administrative expenses and LHL hotel operating expenses) are
subject to inflation. These expenses are expected to grow with the general rate of inflation, except for property and casualty insurance, liability insurance, property tax rates, employee benefits, and some wages, which are expected to increase at
rates higher than inflation, and except for instances in which the properties are subject to periodic real estate tax reassessments.



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to
the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is
no longer an alternative. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company.



Derivative/Financial Instruments



In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effects of
interest rate changes. As of December 31, 2004, approximately 21.0% (including the Companys $13.9 million pro rata portion of indebtedness relating to the Companys joint venture investment in the Chicago Marriott Downtown hotel) of the
Companys borrowings were subject to variable rates. The Company limits the risks associated with interest rate changes by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. For interest rate
exposures, derivatives are used primarily to align rate movements between interest rates associated with the Companys hotel operating revenue, participating lease revenue and other financial assets with interest rates on related debt, and
manage the cost of borrowing obligations. The Company may utilize derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk. The Company requires that hedging derivative instruments be effective in reducing the interest rate risk
exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential in order to qualify for hedge accounting. Some derivative instruments are associated with the hedge of an anticipated transaction. In those cases, hedge effectiveness
criteria also require that it be probable that the underlying transaction will occur. Instruments that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the derivative contract. When the terms of an underlying
transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income each period until the instrument matures.



The Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial
institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the



39



---

##### Table of Contents

derivatives are designed to hedge, the Company has not sustained a material loss from those instruments nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on
its net income or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives.



To manage interest rate risk, the Company may employ options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps and floors or a combination thereof depending on the underlying exposure. The Company utilizes a variety of borrowings
including lines of credit and medium and long-term financings. To reduce overall interest cost, the Company uses interest rate instruments, typically interest rate swaps, to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. Interest
rate differentials that arise under these swap contracts are recognized in interest expense over the life of the contracts. The resulting cost of funds is usually lower than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics
was issued directly.



To determine the fair values of
derivative instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing as of each valuation date. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, long-term
investments and long-term debt, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value
result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

Interest Rate Sensitivity



The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including mortgage obligations,
bonds and an interest rate swap. For debt obligations, the table presents scheduled maturities and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The debt securing the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown has been included in fixed
rate debt because the Company has an interest rate swap in place which is not used for trading purposes and effectively fixes the interest rate on the debt.

Our exposure to market
risk for changes in interest rates relates to the fact that some of our long-term debt consists of variable interest rate loans. We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs
by closely monitoring our variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when we deem such conversion advantageous.



The table above presents the principal amount of debt maturing each year, including annual amortization of principal, through December 31, 2009 and
thereafter and weighted average interest rates for the debt maturing in each specified period. This table reflects indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2004 and does not reflect indebtedness incurred after that date. Our ultimate exposure to
interest rate fluctuations depends on the amount of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, the time at which the interest rate is adjusted, the amount of adjustment, our ability to prepay or refinance variable rate indebtedness and
hedging strategies used to reduce the impact of any increases in rates.



The Company employs interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. On February 27, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year fixed interest rate swap that fixes the London Interbank offered rate at 2.56% for $57,000 of
the Companys mortgage loan secured by the Indianapolis hotel and therefore fixes the mortgage rate at 3.56%.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Companys interest rate
risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company borrows at a combination of fixed and variable rates. As of
December 31, 2004, approximately $56.4 million of aggregate indebtedness (21.0% of total indebtedness), including the Companys $13.9 million pro rata portion of indebtedness relating to the Companys joint venture investment in the
Chicago Marriott Downtown hotel, was subject to variable interest rates.



At December 31, 2004, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the senior unsecured bank facility. Borrowings under the senior unsecured bank facility bear interest at variable market rates. The weighted
average interest rate under the facility for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 3.7% and 3.8%, respectively. A 0.25% annualized change in interest rates would have changed interest expense by approximately $0.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. This change is based on the weighted average borrowings subject to variable rates under the senior unsecured bank facility for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $44.8 million.



At December 31, 2004, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the LHL
credit facility. Borrowings under the LHL credit facility bear interest at variable market rates. The weighted average interest rate under the facility for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately 3.6% and 3.5%, respectively. A
0.25% annualized change in interest rates would have changed interest expense by an immaterial amount for the year ended December 31, 2004. This change is based on the weighted average borrowings under the LHL credit facility for the year ended
December 31, 2004 of $5.9 million.



At December 31, 2004, the
Company had outstanding bonds payable of $42.5 million. The bonds bear interest based on weekly floating rates and have no principal reductions for the life of the bonds. The weighted average interest rate for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 was 1.31% and 1.1%, respectively. A 0.25% annualized change in interest rates would have changed interest expense by approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This change is based on the weighted average borrowings under
the bonds for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $42.5 million.



At December 31, 2004, the mortgage loan that is collateralized by the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel Minneapolis South and the Westin City Center Dallas had a balance of $42.7 million. At December 31, 2004, the carrying value of this mortgage
loan approximated its fair value as the interest rate associated with the borrowing approximated current market rates available for similar types of borrowing arrangements. This loan is subject to a fixed interest rate of 8.1%, matures on July 31,
2009 and requires interest and principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule.



At December 31, 2004, the mortgage loan that is collateralized by the Le Montrose Suite Hotel located in West Hollywood, California had a balance of $14.0 million. At December 31, 2004, the carrying value of this
mortgage approximated its fair value as the interest rate associated with the borrowing approximated current market rate available for similar types of borrowing arrangements. This loan is subject to a fixed interest rate of 8.08%, matures on July
31, 2010, and requires interest and principal payments based on a 27-year amortization schedule.



At December 31, 2004, the mortgage loan that is collateralized by the San Diego Paradise Point Resort had a principal balance of $63.9 million. At
December 31, 2004, the carrying value of this mortgage approximated its fair values as the interest rate associated with the borrowing approximated current market rate available for similar types of borrowing arrangements. This loan is subject to a
fixed interest rate of 5.25%, matures on February 1, 2009, and requires interest and principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule.



At December 31, 2004, the mortgage loan that is collateralized by the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown had a principal balance of $57.0 million. This
mortgage loan bears interest at a floating rate that is reset monthly. However, the Company is party to a fixed interest rate swap agreement that fixes the London InterBank Offered rate at 2.56% for the $57.0 million balance outstanding on the
Companys mortgage loan secured by the

Indianapolis hotel, and therefore fixes the mortgage interest rate at 3.56%. At December 31, 2004, the carrying value of the mortgage loan approximated its
fair value as the interest rate associated with the borrowings approximated the current market rate available for similar borrowing arrangements. This loan matures on February 9, 2007, can be extended at the option of the Company for two additional
one-year terms and requires interest-only payments monthly throughout the term of the loan.



At December 31, 2004, the mortgage loan that is collateralized by the Hilton Alexandria Old Town Hotel had a principal balance of $34.2 million. At December 31, 2004, the carrying value of this mortgage approximated
its fair value as the interest rate associated with the borrowing approximated the current market rate available for similar types of borrowing arrangements. This loan is subject to a fixed interest rate of 4.98%, matures on September 1, 2009, and
requires interest and principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

LaSalle Hotel Properties:



We have audited the consolidated financial statements of LaSalle Hotel
Properties (the Company) as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LaSalle Hotel
Properties as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in
our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of LaSalle Hotel Properties internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 23, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over
financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

LaSalle Hotel Properties:



We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,that LaSalle Hotel Properties (the Company) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 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 opinion.



A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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 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.



In our
opinion, managements assessment that LaSalle Hotel Properties maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established inInternal
ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by COSO. Also, in our opinion, LaSalle Hotel Properties maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria
established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by COSO.



LaSalle Hotel Properties acquired Chaminade on November 18, 2004, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of LaSalle Hotel Properties internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, Chaminades internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $19,686,000 and total revenues of $1,028,000 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our audit of internal control over financial
reporting of LaSalle Hotel Properties also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Chaminade.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets
of LaSalle Hotel Properties as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, and our report
dated February 23, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

LASALLE HOTEL PROPERTIES



Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, expect per share data)



1. Organization and Initial Public Offering



LaSalle Hotel Properties (the Company) was organized in the state
of Maryland on January 15, 1998 as a real estate investment trust (REIT) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company was formed to own hotel properties. The Company had no operations prior to April 29, 1998, at which time the
Company completed its initial public offering. The Company buys, owns and leases upscale and luxury full-service hotels located in convention, resort and major urban business markets.



As of December 31, 2004, the Company owned interests in 19 hotels with approximately 6,300 suites/rooms located in ten
states and the District of Columbia. The Company owns 100% equity interests in 18 of the hotels and a non-controlling 9.9% equity interest in a joint venture that owns one hotel. Each hotel is leased under a participating lease that provides for
rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a base rent or (ii) a participating rent based on hotel revenues. An independent hotel operator manages each hotel. Two of the hotels are leased to unaffiliated lessees (affiliates of whom also operate
these hotels) and 16 of the hotels are leased to the Companys taxable REIT subsidiary, LaSalle Hotel Lessee, Inc. (LHL), or a wholly-owned subsidiary of LHL (see Note 14). Lease revenue from LHL and its wholly-owned subsidiaries is eliminated
in consolidation. The hotel that is owned by the joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown is leased to Chicago 540 Lessee, Inc. in which the Company has a non-controlling 9.9% equity interest (see Note 2).



Substantially all of the Companys assets are held by, and all of its
operations are conducted through, LaSalle Hotel Operating Partnership, L.P. The Company is the sole general partner of the operating partnership. The Company owns approximately 98.7% of the operating partnership at December 31, 2004. The remaining
1.3% is held by other limited partners who hold 383,090 limited partnership units. Limited partnership units are redeemable for cash, or at the option of the Company, a like number of common shares of beneficial interest of the Company.



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Basis of Presentation



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
the operating partnership, LHL and its subsidiaries and partnerships in which it has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.



Reclassification



Certain 2003 and 2002 items have been reclassified to conform with 2004 presentations.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Fair Value of Financial Instruments



Fair value is determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable,

approximate fair value. As borrowings under the senior unsecured bank facility, borrowings under LHLs credit facility and the Massachusetts Port Authority Special Project Revenue Bonds bear interest at variable market rates, carrying values
approximate market value at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The carrying amount of the Companys debt approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the Companys other financial instruments approximate fair value because of the
relatively short maturities of these instruments.



Investment in Hotel Properties



Upon
acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of assets to asset classes based on the fair value of the acquired real estate, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible assets. The Companys investments in hotel properties are
carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 years for buildings and improvements and three to five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Furniture fixtures and equipment under capital
leases are carried at the present value of the minimum lease payments.



The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of each hotel to determine if circumstances exist indicating impairment to the carrying value of the investment in the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified. If facts or
circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will prepare an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on
the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying value of the hotel to reflect the hotel at fair value. The Company does not believe that there are any facts or circumstances indicating
impairment of any of its hotels.



In July 2003, the
Company s management changed its intent from holding its investment in the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort to selling the property due to the projected cost of renovating the property and receiving an unsolicited offer to purchase the property.
As a result, the Company wrote down its investment in the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort by $2,453 to its estimated fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. The Board of Trustees approved managements plan to sell the asset in July 2003, and
the asset was sold in July 2003.



In accordance with the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, a hotel is considered held for sale when a contract for sale is entered into or when management has
committed to a plan to sell an asset, the asset is actively marketed and sale is expected to occur within one year.



Interest and real estate taxes incurred during the renovation period are capitalized and depreciating over the lives of the renovated assets. Capitalized
interest for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $783, $289 and $1,031, respectively.



Intangible Assets



The Company has an intangible asset for rights to build in the future at the Lansdowne Resort, which has an indefinite useful life. The Company does not
amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. The non-amortizable intangible asset is reviewed annually for impairment and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. If a non-amortizable intangible
asset is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, the intangible asset will be written down to the lower of its fair value or carrying amount and then amortized prospectively, based on the remaining useful life of the intangible asset.
The intangible asset for rights to build in the future is included in property under development in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Investment in Joint Venture



Investment in joint venture represents the Companys non-controlling 9.9% equity interest in each of (i) the joint
venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown and (ii) Chicago 540 Lessee, Inc., both of which are associated with the Chicago Marriott Downtown. The Carlyle Group owns a 90.1% controlling interest in both the Chicago 540 Hotel Venture and Chicago
540 Lessee, Inc. The Company accounts for its investment in joint venture under the equity method of accounting, and receives an annual preferred return in addition to its pro rata share of annual cash flow. The Company also has the opportunity to
earn an incentive participation in net sale proceeds based upon the achievement of certain overall investment returns, in addition to its pro rata share of net sale or refinancing proceeds. Marriott International, Inc. operates the Chicago Marriott
Downtown pursuant to a long-term incentive-based operating agreement.



The joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown and in which the Company holds a non-controlling 9.9% ownership interest was subject to two mortgage loans for an aggregate amount of $120,000. The mortgage loans had two- year
terms, and were due to expire in July 2004. On April 6, 2004, the joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown refinanced its existing two mortgage loans with a new mortgage loan for an aggregate amount of $140,000. Upon refinancing, the
Company received approximately $1,822 in cash representing its prorated share of the proceeds. The new mortgage loan has a two-year term, expires in April 2006, and can be extended at the option of the joint venture for three additional one-year
terms. The mortgage bears interest at the London InterBank Offered Rate plus 2.25%. The joint venture has purchased a cap on the London InterBank Offered Rate capping the London InterBank Offered Rate at 7.25%, effectively limiting the rate on the
mortgage to 9.5%. As of December 31, 2004, the interest rate on this mortgage was 4.69%. Monthly interest-only payments are due in arrears throughout the term. The Chicago Marriott Downtown secures the mortgage. The Companys pro rata share of
the loan is $13,860 and is included in the Companys liquidity and capital resources discussion and in calculating debt coverage ratios under the Companys credit facility. No guarantee exists on behalf of the Company for this mortgage.



On November 2, 2004, the Chicago 540 Hotel Venture, in which
the Company has a non-controlling 9.9% ownership interest, obtained a three and a half year commitment for a $5,750 FF&E credit facility to be used for partial funding of the FF&E costs related to the property. The FF&E credit facility
matures on the earlier of (i) April 30, 2008, or (ii) three years from the date on which the final borrowing is made. The borrower has an option to borrow portions of the principal debt bearing interest with reference to the base rate or to LIBOR,
and portions may be converted from one interest basis to another. Base rate will be the greater of (i) the rate established by the lender as a base rate and which is designated by the lender as its U.S. prime rate, or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate
plus 0.50%. LIBOR rate will be set two business days before the start of an interest period. The Chicago 540 Hotel Venture purchased a cap on London InterBank Offered Rate capping the London InterBank Offered Rate at 7.5%. Consistent with our
ownership interest, the Company is guaranteeing 9.9% of the credit facility. The companys maximum exposure under the FF&E facility is $569, and the guarantee will expire at the maturity of the credit facility. In the event of default, any
outstanding principal and accrued interest will be due and payable. As of December 31, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings under the FF&E credit facility.



Derivative/Financial Instruments



In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effects of interest rate changes. As of December 31, 2004,
approximately 21.0% (including the Companys $13,860 pro rata portion of indebtedness relating to the Companys joint venture investment in the Chicago Marriott Downtown) of the Companys borrowings were subject to variable rates. The
Company limits the risks associated with interest rate changes by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. For interest rate exposures, derivatives are used primarily to align rate movements
between interest rates associated with the Companys hotel operating revenue, participating lease revenue and other financial assets with interest rates on related debt, and manage the cost of borrowing obligations. The Company utilizes
derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk. The Company requires that hedging derivative instruments be



F-11

##### Table of Contents

effective in reducing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential in order to qualify for hedge
accounting. Some derivative instruments are associated with the hedge of an anticipated transaction. In those cases, hedge effectiveness criteria also require that it be probable that the underlying transaction will occur. Instruments that meet
these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the derivative contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all changes in the fair value of the
instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income each period until the instrument matures.



The Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed
in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are designed to hedge, the Company has not sustained a material loss from those instruments nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income or
financial position in the future from the use of derivatives.



To manage interest rate risk, the Company may employ options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps and floors or a combination thereof depending on the underlying exposure. The Company utilizes a variety of borrowings including lines of
credit and medium and long-term financings. To reduce overall interest cost, the Company uses interest rate instruments, typically interest rate swaps, to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. Interest rate differentials
that arise under these swap contracts are recognized in interest expense over the life of the contracts. The resulting cost of funds is usually lower than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics was issued
directly.



To determine the fair values of derivative
instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing as of each valuation date. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, long-term investments and
long-term debt, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general
approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.



Cash and Cash Equivalents



All highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.



Deferred Financing Fees



Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost and are amortized over the three-year term of the senior unsecured bank facility, over the life of the
related mortgage loans collateralized by certain hotel properties and over the 17-year term of the special project revenue bonds issued by the Massachusetts Port Authority (see Note 8). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was
$7,406 and $6,036, respectively.



Distributions



Through 2002, the Company paid quarterly distributions to
its common shareholders of beneficial interest as directed by the Board of Trustees. On October 3, 2002, the Company announced its plans to pay monthly distributions in lieu of quarterly distributions to its common shareholders and unitholders
beginning in 2003. The first monthly distribution was paid on February 14, 2003, for the month of January 2003, and monthly distributions were paid throughout the remainder of 2003 and throughout 2004. The Companys ability to pay distributions
is dependent on the receipt of distributions from the operating partnership.



To date, the Company has paid quarterly distributions to its Series A Preferred Shareholders pursuant to the preferred share prospectus supplement of February 28, 2002, and to its Series B Preferred Shareholders
pursuant to the preferred share prospectus supplement of September 23, 2003.

Revenue Recognition



For properties not leased by LHL, the Company recognizes lease revenue on an accrual basis pursuant to the terms of each
participating lease. Base and participating rent are each recognized based on quarterly thresholds pursuant to each participating lease (see Note 13). For properties leased by LHL, the Company recognizes hotel operating revenue on an accrual basis
consistent with the hotel operations.



For the Lansdowne
Resort, the Company defers golf membership fees and recognizes revenue over the average expected life of an active membership (currently six years) on a straight-line basis. Golf membership, health club and executive club annual dues are recognized
as earned throughout the membership year.



Minority Interest



Minority interest in the operating partnership represents
the limited partners proportionate share of the equity in the operating partnership. During 2004 and 2003, respectively, 41,596 and zero units of limited partnership interest were redeemed by unitholders. At December 31, 2004, the aggregate
partnership interest held by the limited partners in the operating partnership was approximately 1.3%. Income is allocated to minority interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the year.



Outstanding operating partnership units of limited partnership interest are
redeemable for cash or, at the option of the Company, for a like number of common shares of beneficial interest of the Company.



Stock-Based Compensation



Prior to 2003, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the 1998 share option and
incentive plan. Accordingly, no compensation costs were recognized for stock options granted to the Companys employees, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date
of grant. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123 prospectively for all options granted to employees and members of the Board of Trustees. No options were granted during 2004 and
2003. Options granted under the 1998 share option and incentive plan vest over three to four years, therefore the costs related to stock-based compensation for 2004 and 2003 are less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based
method had been applied to all grants since the original effective date of Statement No. 123.



The Company has applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the 1998 share option and incentive plan. Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized. Had
compensation cost for all of the options granted under the Companys 1998 share option and incentive plan been determined in accordance with the method required by Statement No. 123, the Companys net income and net income per common share
for 2004, 2003 and 2002 would approximate the pro forma amounts below (in thousands, except per share data).

9,465, 134,436 and 6,400 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were granted to certain trustees, executive officers and employees. In 2004, 3,466 shares were forfeited. Deferred compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003

2004.



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No.
95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June
15, 2005. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company.



Income Taxes



The
Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements,
including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its shareholders. It is the Companys current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Companys qualification for
taxation as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is currently distributed to shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any
taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for
taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed
through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. As a wholly-owned taxable-REIT subsidiary of the Company, LHL is required to pay income taxes at the applicable rates.



Earnings Per Share



Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares of beneficial interest outstanding during the year excluding the weighted average number of unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of beneficial interest outstanding
plus the effect of in-the-money stock options.



3. Acquisition of Hotel
Properties



On June 17, 2003, the Company acquired a 100%
interest in Lansdowne Resort, a 296-room, full-service luxury golf resort and conference center located in Lansdowne, Virginia, for $115,800 including $52,955 in cash and the assumption of a $62,845 mortgage loan (see Note 8). The source of the
funding for the acquisition was the Companys 1031-escrow and Companys senior unsecured bank facility. The Company leases the hotel to LHL. Benchmark Hospitality manages the property under a five-year management agreement. The Company has
undertaken a development program, developing a second golf course, ninehole executive course, resort pool, clubhouse, spa, guestroom and public areas renovation, currently projected at a total of approximately $52,000, which is expected to be
completed by the end of 2005. As of December 31, 2004, total property under development was $32,495, including $3,734 of future air rights for land development.

Effective January 3, 2003, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement, which was amended February 10, 2003, to sell the New Orleans property with expected net sales proceeds of $91,500. The asset was sold on April 21, 2003 (see Note 7).
Total revenues related to the asset of $6,267, comprised of primarily participating rent and hotel operating revenues, and income before income tax expense related to the asset of $62 for the year ended December 31, 2003, are included in
discontinued operations. Revenues and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.



On July 16, 2003, the Board of Trustees approved managements commitment to a plan to sell the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort. The asset was classified
as held for sale at that time because sale was expected to occur within one year; accordingly depreciation was suspended. On July 25, 2003, the Company sold the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort (see Note 7). Total revenues related to the asset of
$5,429, comprised of primarily participating rent and hotel operating revenues, and income before income tax benefit related to the asset of $903 for the year ended December 31, 2003, are included in discontinued operations. Revenues and expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.



Effective January 16, 2004, the Company entered into an exclusive listing agreement for the sale of its Omaha property. The asset was classified as held
for sale at that time because the property was being actively marketed and sale was expected to occur within one year; accordingly, depreciation was suspended. Based on initial pricing expectations, the Company expected to recognize a gain on the
sale, therefore, no impairment was recognized. Effective June 30, 2004, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement, which was amended on July 30, 2004 and August 23, 2004, to sell its Omaha property. The asset was sold on September 15,
2004 (see note 7) with net sale proceeds of approximately $28,596. The Company believes that it can redeploy the capital into markets with better long-term fundamentals, thereby improving the return on its invested capital. Total revenues related to
the asset of $9,828, comprised of primarily hotel operating revenues, and income before income tax expense related to the asset of $1,910 for the year ended December 31, 2004 are included in discontinued operations. Revenues and expenses for the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.



The Company allocates interest expense to discontinued operations for debt that is to be assumed or that is required to be repaid as a result of the
disposal transaction. The Company allocated $0 and $1,678 of interest expense to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

resulting in a gain of approximately $37,087. The gain is recorded in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The asset was classified as held for sale effective August 1, 2002, at which time depreciation was
suspended. Based on initial pricing expectations, the Company expected a gain on the sale of the asset, and as such, no impairment of the asset was recorded. The Company redeployed the net sale proceeds of approximately $91,500 through an Internal
Revenue Code Section 1031 like kind exchange.



In July 2003,
management of the Company changed its intent from holding its investment in the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort, located in Key West, Florida, to selling the property due to the projected cost of renovating the property and receiving an unsolicited
offer to purchase the property. As a result, the Company wrote down its

8. Long-Term Debt



Credit Facility



The Company had a senior unsecured bank facility from a syndicate of banks, which provided for a maximum borrowing of up to $215.0 million and was due to
mature on December 31, 2006. On August 30, 2004, the Company, in accordance with bank facility terms, executed a commitment agreement expanding the commitment facility from $215.0 million to $300.0 million. The unsecured bank facility matures on
December 31, 2006 and has a one-year extension option. The senior unsecured bank facility contains certain financial covenants relating to debt service coverage, net worth and total funded indebtedness and contains financial covenants that, assuming
no continuing defaults, allow the Company to make shareholder distributions which, when combined with the distributions to shareholders in the three immediately preceding fiscal quarters, do not exceed the greater of (i) funds from operations from
the preceding four-quarter rolling period or (ii) the greater of (a) the amount of distributions required for the Company to maintain its status as a REIT or (b) the amount required to ensure the Company will avoid imposition of an excise tax for
failure to make certain minimum distributions on a calendar year basis. Borrowings under the new senior unsecured bank facility bear interest at floating rates equal to, at the Companys option, either (i) London InterBank Offered Rate plus an
applicable margin, or (ii) an Adjusted Base Rate plus an applicable margin. For the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the senior unsecured bank facility was approximately 3.7%
and 3.8%, respectively. The Company did not have any Adjusted Base Rate borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2004. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a variable unused commitment fee determined from a ratings or leverage based pricing
matrix, currently set at 0.250% of the unused portion of the senior unsecured bank facility. The Company incurred an unused commitment fee of approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no outstanding borrowings against the senior unsecured bank facility.



LHL had a three-year commitment for a $7.5 million senior unsecured revolving bank facility to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On January 1, 2003, LHL amended its unsecured revolving credit facility agreement to allow for maximum borrowings of $10.0 million. This LHL credit facility matured on December 31, 2003. Effective January 1, 2004, LHL renewed its credit facility for
$13.0 million for three additional years. Effective August 30, 2004, LHL again amended and increased its unsecured revolving credit facility to allow for maximum borrowings of $25.0 million. The new LHL credit facility matures December 31, 2006.
Borrowings under the LHL credit facility bear interest at floating rates equal to, at LHLs option, either (i) London InterBank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin, or (ii) an Adjusted Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The
weighted average interest rate under the facility for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 3.6% and 3.5%, respectively. LHL is required to pay an unused commitment fee, which is variable, determined from a ratings-based pricing matrix, and
currently set at 0.250% of the unused portion of the LHL

credit facility. LHL incurred an immaterial commitment fee for each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company
had no outstanding borrowings against the LHL credit facility.



Bonds Payable



The Company is the obligor with
respect to a $37.1 million tax-exempt special project revenue bond and $5.4 million taxable special project revenue bond, both issued by the Massachusetts Port Authority (collectively, the MassPort Bonds). The MassPort Bonds, which
mature on March 1, 2018, bear interest based on a weekly floating rate and have no principal reductions prior to their scheduled maturities. The MassPort Bonds may be redeemed at any time at the Companys option without penalty. The bonds are
secured by letters of credit issued by GE Capital Corporation that expire in 2007 and are collateralized by the Harborside Hyatt Conference Center & Hotel and a $6.0 million letter of credit from the Company. If GE Capital Corporation fails to
renew its letters of credit at expiration and an acceptable replacement provider cannot be found, the Company may be required to pay-off the bonds. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the weighted average interest rate on the MassPort
bonds was 1.3% and 1.1%, respectively. Interest expense for the years ended December 30, 2004 and 2003 was $552 and $458, respectively. In addition to interest payments, the Company incurs a 2.0% annual maintenance fee, which is included in
amortization of deferred finance fees. At December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding bonds payable of $42,500.



Mortgage Loans



The Company, through a wholly-owned partnership, is subject to a ten-year mortgage loan that is secured by the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel Minneapolis
South, located in Bloomington, Minnesota and the Westin City Center Dallas, located in Dallas, Texas. The mortgage loan matures on July 31, 2009 and does not allow for prepayment prior to maturity without penalty. The mortgage loan bears interest at
a fixed rate of 8.1% and requires interest and principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule. The loan agreement requires the partnership to hold funds in escrow sufficient for the payment of 50% of the annual insurance premiums and
real estate taxes related to the two hotels that secure the loan.

The Company assumed a
five-year mortgage loan of $62,845 million secured by the Lansdowne Resort located in Lansdowne, Virginia when it acquired the property on June 17, 2003. In conjunction with the assumption of the mortgage, the Company recorded a premium of $2,380
which was being amortized over the expected remaining life of the loan. The loan bore interest at a floating rate of the London InterBank Offered Rate plus 4.5%, matured on January 28, 2007, and required interest and principal payments based on a
25-year amortization schedule. The mortgage loan had an interest rate floor of 3.0%. In conjunction with the assumption of the mortgage loan, the seller transferred to the Company a $5,000 debt service reserve escrow. The mortgage loan permitted
prepayment beginning on February 11, 2004, and on February 11, 2004 the Company paid in full the $62,326 balance of the mortgage loan. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, upon prepayment the seller was entitled to the $5,019 debt service
reserve, less any prepayment penalty. On February 12, 2004, the Company paid the seller $3,149 in cash representing the $5,019 debt service reserve escrow less a $1,870 prepayment penalty. The source of funding for the prepayment was the
Companys senior unsecured bank facility. At the time of acquisition, the Company recorded the mortgage at its fair value resulting in the Company recognizing a gain on the debt extinguishment of $70. Interest expense, net of premium
amortization, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $457 and $2,218, respectively. The principal balance for the mortgage loan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, including the unamortized premium was zero and $64,411, respectively.



On December 12, 2003, the Company, through a wholly-owned

mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% and requires interest and principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule. The loan agreement requires the Company to hold funds in escrow sufficient for the payment of 50% of the
annual insurance premiums and real estate taxes related to the hotel that secures the loan.

Reserve Funds



The Company is obligated to maintain reserve funds for capital expenditures at the hotels (including the periodic
replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment) as determined pursuant to the participating leases. The Companys aggregate obligation under the reserve funds was approximately $20,094 at December 31, 2004. The reserve
requirements for four hotels, the hotels operated by Marriott International, Inc. and Hyatt Corporation, are contained in certain non-cancelable operating agreements, which require the reserves for the hotels operated by Marriott International, Inc.
and Hyatt Corporation to be maintained through furniture, fixtures and equipment restricted cash escrows. These four participating leases require that the Company reserve restricted cash ranging from 4.0% to 5.5% of the individual hotels
annual revenues. As of December 31, 2004, $5,676 was available in restricted cash reserves for future capital expenditures. Fourteen of the participating leases require that the Company reserve funds of 4.0% of the individual hotels annual
revenues, but do not require the funds to be set aside in restricted cash. As of December 31, 2004, the total amount obligated for future capital expenditures, but not set aside in restricted cash reserves was $14,418. Amounts will be capitalized as
incurred. As of December 31, 2004, purchase orders and letters of commitment totaling approximately $17,000 have been issued for renovations at the hotels. The Company has committed to these projects and anticipates making similar arrangements with
the existing hotels or any future hotels that it may acquire. Any unexpended amounts will remain the property of the Company upon termination of the participating leases.



The joint venture lease requires that the joint venture reserve restricted cash of 5.0% of the Chicago Marriott
Downtowns annual revenues; however, the joint venture is not consolidated in the Companys financial statements and the amount of restricted cash reserves relating to the joint venture is not recorded on the Companys books and
records.



Restricted Cash Reserves



At December 31, 2004, the Company held $7,430 in restricted cash reserves.
Included in such amounts are (i) $5,676 of reserve funds relating to the hotels with leases or operating agreements requiring the Company to maintain restricted cash to fund future capital expenditures, (ii) $500 for future renovations and
conversion costs expected to be incurred because of the Bloomington property re-branding under the Sheraton brand affiliation and (iii) $1,254 deposited in mortgage escrow accounts pursuant to mortgages to pre-fund a portion of certain hotel
expenses.



Litigation



The Company has engaged Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. to
manage and operate its Dallas hotel under the Westin brand affiliation. Meridien Hotels, Inc. (Meridien) affiliates had been operating the Dallas property as a wrongful holdover tenant, until the Westin brand conversion occurred on July
14, 2003 under court order.



On December 20, 2002, affiliates
of Meridien abandoned the Companys New Orleans hotel. The Company entered into a lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of LHL and an interim management agreement with Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc., and re-named the hotel the New Orleans
Grande Hotel. The New Orleans property thereafter was sold on April 21, 2003 for $92.5 million.



In connection with the termination of the Meridien affiliates at these hotels, the Company is currently in litigation with Meridien and related
affiliates. The Company believes its sole potential obligation in connection with the termination of the leases is to pay fair market value of the leases, if any. With respect to the Dallas hotel, the Company has obtained a judgment from the court
that Meridien defaulted and that Meridien is not entitled to the payment of fair market value. With respect to the New Orleans hotel, the issue of default by the lessee, among other claims, is currently in trial. Arbitration of the fair market value
of the New Orleans lease commenced in October 2002. On December 19, 2002, the arbitration panel determined that Meridien was entitled to an award of approximately $5.7 million in connection with the New Orleans property, subject to adjustment

(reduction) by the courts to account for Meridiens holdover. In order to dispute the arbitration decision, the Company was required to post a $7.8
million surety bond, which was secured by $5.9 million of restricted cash. The Company successfully challenged the award on appeal, and the dispute has been remanded to the trial court. Meridiens request for rehearing was denied on March 31,
2004, and Meridien did not petition to the Louisiana Supreme Court. In June 2004, the $7.8 million surety bond was released and the $5.9 million restricted cash securing it was returned to the Company.



In 2002 the Company recognized a net $2.5 million contingent lease
termination expense and reversed previously deferred assets and liabilities related to the termination of both the New Orleans property and Dallas property leases and recorded a corresponding contingent liability included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes, however, it is owed holdover rent per the lease terms due to Meridiens failure to vacate the properties as required under the leases. The contingent
lease termination expense was, therefore, net of the holdover rent the Company believes it is entitled to for both properties. In the first, second and third quarters of 2003, the Company adjusted this liability by additional holdover rent of $395,
$380 and $52, respectively, that it believes it is entitled to for the Dallas property. These amounts were recorded as other income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The contingent lease termination expense recognized
cumulatively since 2002 is comprised of (dollars in thousands):

In September 2004,
after evaluating the ongoing Meridien litigation, the Company accrued additional net legal fees of $850 due to litigation timeline changes in order to conclude this matter. As a result, the net contingent lease termination liability has a balance of
approximately $2.0 million as of December 31, 2004, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Based on the claims the Company has against Meridien, the Company is and will continue to
challenge Meridiens claim that it is entitled to the payment of fair market value, and will continue to seek reimbursement of legal fees and damages. These amounts may exceed or otherwise may be used to offset any amounts potentially owed to
Meridien, and therefore, ultimately may offset or otherwise reduce any contingent lease termination expense. Additionally, the Company cannot provide any assurances that the holdover rents will be collectible or that the amounts due will not be
greater than the recorded contingent lease termination expense.



The Company maintained a lien on Meridiens security deposit on both disputed properties with an aggregate value of approximately $3.3 million, in accordance with the lease agreements. The security deposits were liquidated in May 2003
with the proceeds used to partially satisfy Meridiens outstanding obligations, including certain working capital notes and outstanding base rent.



Meridien also has sued the Company and one of the Companys officers alleging that certain actions taken in anticipation of re-branding the Dallas
and New Orleans hotels under the Westin brand affiliation constituted unfair trade practices, false advertising, trademark infringement, trademark dilution and tortious interference. The Company intends to vigorously challenge Meridiens claims
if and when this matter gets set for trial.



The Company does
not believe that the amount of any fees or damages it may be required to pay on any of the litigation related to Meridien will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations, taken as a whole. The
Companys management has discussed this contingency and the related accounting treatment with the audit committee of its Board of Trustees.

12. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging



The Company employs interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. Unrealized gains and losses are
reported in other comprehensive income with no effect recognized in earnings as long as the characteristics of the swap and the hedged item are closely matched. On February 27, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year fixed interest rate swap
that fixes the London Interbank offered rate at 2.56% for $57,000 of the Companys mortgage loan secured by the Indianapolis hotel and therefore fixes the mortgage rate at 3.56%. As of December 31, 2004, there was $965 in unrealized gain
included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The hedge was effective in offsetting the variable cash flows; therefore no gain or loss was realized during the year ended December 31, 2004.



The following table summarizes the notional value and fair value of the
Companys derivative financial instrument. The notional value at December 31, 2004 provides an indication of the extent of the Companys involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest
rate or market risks.



At December 31, 2004:



|               |  |                |  |               |  |          |  |           
|-------------- |  | -------------- |  | ------------- |  | -------- |  | ----------
|Hedge Type     |  | Notional Value |  | Interest Rate |  | Maturity |  | Fair Value
|Swap-Cash Flow |  | $57,000        |  | 2.555%        |  | 2/9/07   |  | $965      



At December 31, 2004,
the derivative instrument was reported at its fair value of $965 and is included within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



Interest rate hedges that are designated as cash flow hedges hedge the future cash outflows on debt. Interest rate swaps
that convert variable payments to fixed payments, interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment
to either accumulated other comprehensive income/loss or in earnings depending on the type of hedging relationship. If the hedging transaction is a cash flow hedge, then the offsetting gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income/loss. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification is consistent with when the hedged items are also recognized in earnings. For the
year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company reclassified $504 and $1,105 of accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as interest expense in conjunction with the interest rate swaps.



The Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
transactions it anticipates entering into in the foreseeable future. During the forecast period, unrealized gains and losses in the hedging instrument will be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. Once the hedged transaction takes
place, the hedge gains and losses will be reported in earnings during the same period in which the hedged item is recognized in earnings.



13. Participating Leases



The participating leases have non-cancelable terms ranging from five to 11 years (from commencement), subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence
of certain contingencies, as defined. Each participating lease requires the applicable lessee to pay the greater of (i) base rent in a fixed amount or (ii) participating rent based on certain percentages of room revenue, food and beverage revenue
and telephone and other revenue at the applicable hotel. Participating rent applicable to room and other hotel revenues varies by lease and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such revenues over specified quarterly
threshold amounts. Both the base rent and the participating rent thresholds used in computing percentage rents applicable to room and other hotel revenues, including food and beverage revenues, are subject to annual adjustments based on increases in
the United States Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United

States of America Department of Labor, U.S. City Average, Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. Participating lease revenues from non-LHL leased
properties, including participating lease revenues from discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $18,635, $21,284, and $31,326, of which $7,376, $8,578 and $9,949, respectively, was in excess of base rent.



Future minimum rentals from non-LHL leased properties (without
reflecting future applicable Consumer Price Index increases) to be received by the Company pursuant to the participating leases for each of the years in the period 2005 to 2009 are as follows. Rent from properties leased to LHL, a wholly-owned
subsidiary, is eliminated in consolidation.

The two remaining hotels in which the Company owns an interest, excluding the joint venture that owns the Chicago Marriott Downtown, are leased directly
to affiliates of the current hotel operators of those respective hotels.



On January 25, 2002, the Company terminated its third-party operating lease on the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel Minneapolis South with Radisson Bloomington Corporation and entered into a lease with LHL on essentially
the same terms. There was no income or cost relating to the lease termination. Radisson Hotels International, Inc. continued to operate and manage the hotel until March 16, 2004.



Effective March 16, 2004, LHL terminated its management agreement with Radisson Hotels and Resorts to manage the 565-room
convention hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota. The hotel was re-flagged as the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel Minneapolis South. Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. was selected to manage the property as a Sheraton, Starwoods upscale brand.



On December 20, 2002, Meridien Hotels, Inc. abandoned the New
Orleans property. The Company entered into a lease with a wholly-owned subsidiary of LHL and an interim management agreement with Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc., and re-named the hotel the New Orleans Grande Hotel. On April 29, 2003, the
Company sold the New Orleans Grande Hotel and cancelled its operating lease with LHL (see Note 7).



On July 25, 2003, the Company sold the Holiday Inn Beachside Resort, located in Key West, Florida, and cancelled its operating lease with LHL (see Note
7).



Effective July 14, 2003, LHL succeeded in evicting Le
Meridien as tenant of the 407-room convention hotel in Dallas, Texas. The hotel was re-flagged as the Westin City Center Dallas. Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. was selected to manage the property as a Westin, Starwoods upscale
brand.



During 2003, the Company purchased the Lansdowne
Resort, located in Lansdowne, Virginia, and the Hotel George, located in Washington, D.C., and entered into lease agreements with LHL.



During 2004, the Company purchased the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown located in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Hilton Alexandria Old Town located in
Alexandria, Virginia and Chaminade Resort and Conference Center located in Sanata Cruz, California, and entered into lease agreements with LHL.



15. Income Taxes



The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998. To
qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its shareholders. It is the Companys current
intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Companys qualification for taxation as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is currently
distributed to shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to
qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its
undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. LHL is a wholly-owned taxable-REIT subsidiary of the Company and as
such is required to pay income taxes at the applicable rates.

For the year ended
December 31, 2004, LHL recorded an income tax benefit of $3,821 that is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company has estimated its income tax benefit using a combined federal and state rate of 41.5%. As of December
31, 2004, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $14,500 primarily due to past and current years tax net operating losses. These loss carryforwards will expire in 2021 thru 2023 if not utilized by then. Management believes that it is more
likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized and has determined that no valuation allowance is required. Reversal of deferred tax asset in the subsequent year cannot be reasonably estimated.

16. Earnings Per Common Share



The limited partners outstanding limited partnership units in the operating partnership (which may be converted to
common shares of beneficial interest) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners share of income would also be added back to net income. The
computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented below:

21. Quarterly Operating Results (Unaudited)



The Companys unaudited consolidated quarterly operating data for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands, except per share data) follows. Certain 2003 items have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation of discontinued operations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly results have been reflected in the data. It is also managements opinion, however, that quarterly operating data for hotel enterprises are not indicative
of results to be achieved in succeeding quarters or years.
