principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements, accompanying notes and other
information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
amended, for the year ended December 31, 2004.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements reflect all normal and recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition and results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires us to make estimates and
assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ
from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of our results for the
entire year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to our prior year
financial statements to conform to our current presentation.
Stock-Based Compensation
We maintain stock-based employee compensation plans. Prior to
2003, we accounted for those plans in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and applied
those provisions prospectively to all employee awards granted,
modified or settled

after January 1, 2003. The following table illustrates the
effect on net loss and loss per share if the fair value based
method had been applied to all of our outstanding and unvested
awards.

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 for disclosing
compensation costs may not be representative of the effects on
reported net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per
share for future years.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, (FAS 123R), which requires that
the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be
recognized in the financial statements. The statement requires a
public entity to measure the cost of employee services received
in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide
service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period).
The provisions of FAS 123R are effective for the first
quarter of 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected
to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position
and results of operations as we currently use the fair value
method prescribed in SFAS No. 123.
We calculate our basic earnings per common share by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. Our diluted earnings per common share assumes
the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock
equivalents outstanding. In periods in which there is a loss,

diluted shares outstanding will equal basic shares outstanding
as there would be no dilutive securities. Basic and diluted
earnings per common share for the three months ended

On January 6, 2005, our joint venture S.D. Bridgeworks,
LLC, sold the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp hotel. Our total proceeds
from the sale of the hotel are expected to be approximately
$3,700, of which we have received $2,859 as of March 31,
2005. Our portion of equity in the joint ventures earnings
related to the gain on the sale is approximately $3,700.
The recoverability of the carrying values of our investments and
advances to our investees is dependent upon operating results of
the underlying real estate investments. Future adverse changes
in the hospitality and lodging industry, market conditions or
poor operating results of the underlying investments could
result in future losses or the inability to recover the carrying
value of these long-lived assets.
The debt of all investees is non-recourse to us, and we do not
guarantee any of our investees obligations.
Presented below is the combined summarized financial information
of MIP Lessee, L.P. and S.D. Bridgeworks, LLC for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Summarized profit and

We amortize the value of our intangible assets over their
estimated useful lives, which generally correspond with the
expected terms of the associated management, franchise, or
financing agreement. We incurred aggregate amortization expense
of $990 and $966 on these assets for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization of
deferred financing fees is included in interest expense.
Deferred financing costs of $1,847, net of accumulated
amortization were charged to interest expense in connection with
the refinancing of our senior credit facility and repayment of
our subordinated term loan.

Senior Credit Facility On January 14,
2005, we entered into an amended and restated senior secured
credit facility with various lenders. The amended and restated
senior secured credit facility provides aggregate loan
commitments of a $53,000 term loan and a $55,000 revolving
credit facility. The credit facility is scheduled to mature on
January 14, 2008.
The actual rates for both the revolving credit facility and the
term loan depend on the results of certain financial tests. As
of March 31, 2005, based on those financial tests,
borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at
a rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points and borrowings under the
term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 550 basis
points. We incurred $1,491 and $608 of interest expense on our
senior credit facility for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
The debt under our amended credit facility is guaranteed by
certain of our existing subsidiaries and collateralized by
pledges of ownership interests, owned hospitality properties,
and other collateral that was not previously prohibited from
being pledged by any of our existing contracts and or
agreements. Our amended and restated credit facility contains
covenants that include maintenance of financial ratios at the
end of each quarter, compliance reporting requirements and other
customary restrictions.
In addition, we entered into two amendments to our new credit
facility on February 4, 2005 and May 5, 2005, in
connection with the purchase of the Hilton Concord hotel. The
amendments gave us relief with respect to certain loan
compliance covenants through the second quarter of 2005. We are
in compliance with the amended loan covenants and expect to be
in compliance for the remainder of the loan term.
Concurrent with our senior credit facilitys refinancing,
we borrowed approximately $87,200 to repay our existing $40,000
subordinated term loan, $43,474 outstanding under our prior
senior secured credit facility as well as fees and expenses
related to the repayments and our new credit facility.
Non-Recourse Promissory Note In 2001, we
entered into a non-recourse promissory note in the amount of
$4,170 with FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated
(FelCor), to fund the acquisition of a 50%
non-controlling equity interest in two partnerships that own
eight mid-scale hotels. The note bears interest rate of 12% per
annum, and matures on December 31, 2010. For the three
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we incurred $112 and
$112, respectively, of interest expense on the promissory note.
Accrued interest payable was $526, as of March 31, 2005 and
the remaining balance on the promissory note is $3,723. We
notified FelCor in 2004 that we were suspending further
principal and interest payments on the note and accordingly, we
are in default under the note. In March 2005, the lender, with
the partnerships acquiescence, initiated foreclosure
proceedings on the properties underlying the mortgages. We
expect that we will ultimately transfer ownership of our equity
interests in these partnerships to FelCor in return for the
extinguishment of the note. In addition, we will no longer
manage the eight hotels previously owned by the two partnerships.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Subordinated Term Loan In January 2003, we
entered into a $40,000 subordinated term loan that bore interest
at a rate of LIBOR plus 850 basis points and was scheduled to
mature on January 31, 2006. In January 2005 we repaid this
loan with proceeds from the refinancing of our credit facility,
as discussed above. We wrote off $1,847 of unamortized deferred
financing costs in connection with this repayment.
Sunstone Promissory Note On October 26,
2004, we entered in to a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire
Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc. In connection with the purchase
we entered into a non-interest bearing note with Sunstone Hotels
Investors, LLC, for $2,000 that is due December 31, 2005
and is recorded in the current portion of long-term debt.
Mortgage Debt In February 2005, we entered
into a $19,000 non-recourse mortgage loan to finance the
acquisition of the Hilton Concord hotel. Interest only is
payable until the loan matures in March 2008. The loan
bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points.
Interest expense incurred for the period ended March 31,
2005 was $127.
Interest Rate Caps In February 2005, we
entered into a $19,000, three-year interest rate cap agreement
in connection with the mortgage loan on the Hilton Concord
hotel, in order to provide an economic hedge against the
potential effect of future interest rate fluctuations. The
interest rate agreement caps the 30-day LIBOR at 6.65% and is
scheduled to mature on March 1, 2008. At March 31,
2005, the fair value of this interest rate cap agreement was
approximately $21. In March 2005, we entered into a
$55,000, three-year interest rate cap agreement related to our
amended and restated senior credit agreement, in order to
provide an economic hedge against the potential effect of future
interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate agreement caps the
30-day LIBOR at 5.75% and is scheduled to mature on
January 14, 2008. At March 31, 2005, the fair value of
this interest rate cap agreement was approximately $122. The
change in fair market value of our interest rate cap agreements
is recorded in the statement of operations.
We are organized into two operating divisions: hotel management
and corporate housing. Both of these divisions are reportable
operating segments. Each division is managed separately because
of its distinct products and services.

ended March 31, 2005, related to severance payments to
former personnel. Most of these expenses were for contractual
severance costs of approximately $1,800 due to our former chief
executive officer.
Corporate Housing During the three months
ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, we incurred
charges of approximately $117 and $127 related to severance
costs for former personnel and other related charges, in
connection with restructuring within our corporate housing
operation.

Management Contract Write-offs During the
three months ended March 31, 2005, we wrote off
approximately $239 of unamortized management contract costs
related to the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp hotel, which was sold in
January 2005, by our S.D. Bridgeworks joint venture.
In March 2004, we wrote off $3,296 of unamortized management
contract costs in connection with the termination of 11
management contracts with MeriStar Hospitality.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Investment Impairments During the first
quarter of 2004, it was determined that our investment in MIP
Lessee, L.P. was impaired based on purchase offers we received
on two of the joint ventures hotels. Accordingly, we
recorded an impairment charge of $563 to reduce the carrying
amount of our investment to its estimated fair value. In
addition, during the first quarter of 2004, we wrote off our
remaining investment in our joint venture that owns the
Residence Inn Houston Astrodome Medical Center. The hotel was
underperforming and in the first quarter of 2004, the joint
venture was notified that it had defaulted on its bank loan.
Consequently, we wrote off the remaining carrying value of our
investment in the joint venture of $538. One of our directors
holds a 22.46% ownership interest in this joint venture.
Hotel Real Estate Investment Fund costs We
had been attempting to form a real estate investment fund with a
group of institutional investors. We now believe that other
investment vehicles may be more appropriate for the company.
Accordingly, we decided not to proceed with this particular
investment fund, and consequently, we expensed $823 of related
formation costs that were originally to be reimbursed by the
investment fund.

|

GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS |
In January 2005, we recognized a gain of $385 from the exchange
of stock warrants for stock in an unaffiliated company and
subsequent sale of that stock, which we had held as an
investment.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Insurance Matters As part of our management
services to hotel owners, we generally obtain casualty
(workers compensation and liability) insurance coverage
for our managed and owned hotels. In December 2002, one of the
carriers we used to obtain casualty insurance coverage was
downgraded significantly by rating agencies. In January 2003, we
negotiated a transfer of that carriers current policies to
a new carrier. We are working with the prior carrier to
facilitate a timely and efficient settlement of the claims
outstanding under the prior carriers casualty policies.
The prior carrier has primary responsibility for settling those
claims from its assets. If the prior carriers assets are
not sufficient to settle these outstanding claims, and the
claims exceed amounts available under state guaranty funds, we
may be required to settle those claims. Although we are
indemnified under our management agreements for such amounts, we
would be responsible for claims in periods prior to January
2003. In addition, in March 2005, the prior carrier that
presented claims to us and other policy holders asserting that
discounts previously granted to us and other policy holders with
respect to the prior policies were purportedly advance dividends
to us and other policy holders related to the respective
policies. The claim made against us is for $4,516. We do not
believe we are liable for this claim. Based on the information
currently available, we believe the ultimate resolution of this
situation will not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.
Leases We lease apartments for our corporate
housing division and office space for our corporate offices.
Future minimum lease payments required under these operating
leases as of March 31, 2005 were as follows:

In the course of normal business activities, various lawsuits,
claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or
asserted against us. Based on currently available facts, we
believe that the disposition of matters
12
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.
Management Agreement Commitments Under the
provisions of management agreements with certain hotel owners,
we are obligated to provide an aggregate of $2,054 to these
hotel owners in the form of investments or loans. The timing of
future investments or working capital loans to hotel owners is
not currently known as these advances are at the hotel
owners discretion.
Termination Fees MeriStar Hospitalitys
taxable subsidiaries have the right to terminate a management
agreement for a hotel upon the sale of the hotel to a third
party or if the hotel is destroyed and not rebuilt after a
casualty. In the event of termination, MeriStar
Hospitalitys taxable subsidiary will be required to pay us
a termination fee equal to the value of the remaining payments
calculated as defined in the agreement. The termination fee will
be paid in 48 equal monthly installments, without interest,
commencing the month following the termination. MeriStar
Hospitalitys taxable subsidiaries will be able to credit
against any termination payments the present value of projected
fees, calculated in accordance with the amended agreement, of
any new management agreements executed during the 30-month
period following the termination date. In addition, in
connection with the July 2004 termination of the intercompany
agreement we had with MeriStar Hospitality, MeriStar Hospitality
has a remaining credit of $1,142 to be offset against any
terminations occurring after July 2004. MeriStar Hospitality has
not, since January 1, 2005, sold any hotels.
Contingent Liabilities Related to Partnership
Interests We own interests in several
partnerships and other joint ventures. To the extent that any of
these partnerships or joint ventures and would become unable to
pay its obligations, those obligations would become obligations
of the general partners. Currently, the eight hotels owned by
our FelCor joint venture related partnerships are in the process
of foreclosure. The FelCor joint venture and related
partnerships may not able to pay the mortgage debt or other
liabilities owed by the partnerships. While we believe we are
protected from any risk of liability because our investments in
these partnerships as a general partner were conducted through
the use of single-purpose entities, to the extent any debtors
pursue payment from us, it is possible that we could be held
liable for those liabilities and those amounts could be material.

ACQUISITION AND NEW MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS |
On February 11, 2005, we acquired the 329-room Hilton
Concord hotel located in the East Bay area of San Francisco,
California. The acquisition cost was $31,779, including normal
and customary closing costs. We financed the purchase through
borrowings on our credit facility and a $19,000 mortgage. As
discussed in our debt footnote, this acquisition increased our
leverage and required us to obtain two amendments under our
credit facility for the first and second quarters of 2005. See
Note 6 for more discussion of our debt. The hotel revenues
from February 11, 2005 to March 31, 2005 were $1,755
and operating income was $477, which are included in our
statement of operations. The acquisition cost of the hotel was
allocated as follows:

will likely result, expect,
will, will continue,
anticipate, estimate,
intend, plan, projection,
would and outlook and other similar
terms and phrases. Accordingly, these statements involve
estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that are not yet
determinable and could cause actual results to differ materially

|
|
|
changes in laws and regulations applicable to us, including

Quarterly Summary
General We are the largest independent U.S.
hotel management company not affiliated with a hotel brand,
measured by number of rooms under management. We manage a
portfolio of hospitality properties and provide related services
in the hotel, corporate housing, resort, conference center and
golf markets. We also own two hotel properties and hold
non-controlling interests in 10 joint ventures, which hold
ownership interests in 22 of our managed properties, as of
March 31, 2005. Our portfolio is diversified by franchise
and brand affiliations. The related services we provide include
insurance and risk management services, purchasing and project
management services, information technology and
telecommunications services and centralized accounting services.
As of March 31, 2005, we managed 316 properties, with
71,789 rooms in 41 states, the District of Columbia, Canada,
Russia and Portugal. As of March 31, 2005, we had 3,035
apartments under lease or management through our BridgeStreet
corporate housing division in the United States, France and the
United Kingdom.
We have two operating segments, hotel management and corporate
housing. Each is managed separately because of its distinct
products and services.
Recent events
Disposition of Hotel by Our Joint Venture On
January 6, 2005, our joint venture, S.D. Bridgeworks,
LLC, sold the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp hotel. As of
March 31, 2005, our total proceeds are expected to be
approximately $3,700, of which we have received $2,859. Our
portion of equity in earnings related to the gain on the sale is
approximately $3,700.
New Management Contracts In March 2005, we
began operating 22 upscale hotels recently acquired by a
partnership consisting of a private investment fund managed by
affiliates of Goldman Sachs and Highgate Holdings. The affiliate
of Highgate Holdings is affiliated with three of our directors.
Chief Executive Officer On February 17,
2005, Thomas F. Hewitt was named chief executive officer of the
company. Steve Jorns, the former CEO, subsequently separated
from Interstate effective March 31, 2005. Mr. Hewitt
has been a member of our board of directors since 2002.
Hurricanes in Florida During August and
September of 2004, Florida experienced several strong hurricanes
that damaged or closed 10 properties we manage. We are currently
in negotiations with our insurance provider to recover our
losses of management fees under our business interruption
insurance policies. We are entitled to recover management fees
for the time period the hotels were partially or completely
closed and for the time period after the hotels re-opened, but
were not operating at historical levels. We will recognize
revenues as our claims are settled. We believe this will occur
in late 2005 or early 2006.
Hotel Acquisition On February 11, 2005
we acquired the 329-room Hilton Concord hotel located in the
East Bay area of San Francisco, California. The acquisition
costs, including normal and customary closing costs, was
$31,779. We financed the purchase through borrowings on our
credit facility and a $19,000 mortgage. As discussed in
Note 6 to our financial statements, this acquisition
increased our leverage and required us to obtain two amendments
under our credit facility for the first and second quarters of
2005. See Note 6 for more discussion of our debt.
15
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date
of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Application of these
policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of
assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual
results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our
estimates and judgments, including those related to the
impairment of long-lived assets, on an ongoing basis. We base
our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
We have discussed those policies that we believe are critical
and require judgment in their application in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ending
December 31, 2004. Since the date of that report, there
have been no material changes to our critical accounting
policies or the methodologies or assumptions we use in applying
them.
Results of Operations
Three months ended
March 31, 2005 compared with three months ended
March 31, 2004.
Overview At March 31, 2005 we managed
316 properties, with 71,789 guest rooms, compared to 278
properties with 62,049 guest rooms at March 31, 2004. We
also acquired one full-service hotel during the first quarter of
2005. Hotels under management increased by a net amount of 38
from March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005, with the
increase due to the following:
|
|
|
|
|
In March 2005, we began operating 22 upscale hotels recently
acquired by a partnership consisting of a private investment
fund managed by affiliates of Goldman Sachs and Highgate
Holdings. |
|
|
|
In connection with our purchase of Sunstone Hotel Properties,
Inc., we acquired management contracts for 54 properties, during
the fourth quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, we
transitioned 1 of these properties out of our system. |
|
|
|
From March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005, MeriStar
Hospitality, sold 10 properties, 9 of which we no longer manage
for the eventual buyers. In addition, we transitioned 32 other
properties out of our system and added 4 properties to our
system from various owners. |

Our total revenue increased $29,769, or 13.4%, to $251,212 for
the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $221,443
for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Major components
of this increase were:
|
|
|
|
|
Revenue from lodging increased $1,839, to $2,562 for three
months ended March 31, 2005, from $723 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004. Substantially all of the increase is
due to the acquisition of the Hilton Concord hotel. Revenues
generated by this property were $1,755 from February 11,
2005 through March 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
Revenue from management fees increased $321, or 2.3%, to $13,999
for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $13,678 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004. Our RevPAR, ADR and
occupancy have improved year over year, and the increase in
total number of hotels under management has generated an
increase in our total management fee revenue, which was offset
by lost revenue from hotels that were transitioned out of our
system. |
|
|
|
Revenue from our corporate housing operations has increased
$3,149, or 13.0%, to $27,399 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005, from $24,250 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004. This increase in revenue is partially
attributable to an increase in ADR by approximately 8.4%, from
$99.42 to $107.82, an increase in occupancy from 87.20% to
90.18% and an increase in the number of units from 2,964 to
3,035 from March 31, 2004 to March 31,2005,
respectively. |
|
|
|
Reimbursable expenses, which we record as other revenue and
other expenses from managed properties under EITF 01-14,
increased by $24,757, or 13.8%, to $204,297 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005, from $179,540 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004. The primary reason for this increase
is the increase in the number of managed hotels from
March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005, directly resulting
in an increase in the number of hotel employees and in related
reimbursable salaries and other expenses. In addition, other
revenue from managed properties has been revised and reduced for
the first quarter of 2004 by $14,610. Our statements of
operations include an equal and offsetting amount
Other expenses from managed properties
which has also been revised by the same amount. These amounts
represent the payroll and related costs, and certain other costs
of the hotels operations that are contractually reimbursed
to us by the hotel owners. The revisions have no impact on
operating income (loss), net income (loss), or earnings
(loss) per share, or our balance sheet or cash flows. |
|
|
|
Operating Expenses by Department |
Total operating expenses by department increased $4,459, or
21.3%, to $25,359 for the three months ended March 31,
2005, compared to $20,900 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004. Operating expenses by department include
direct expenses that are related to lodging from our owned
hotels, and to our corporate housing division.
|
|
|
|
|
Lodging expenses increased $1,432, or 276.4%, from $1,950, for
the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $518 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase is
mainly related to the acquisition of the Hilton Concord hotel in
February 2005. The property incurred lodging expenses of $1,278
from February 11 through March 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
Corporate housing expenses increased $3,027, or 14.9%, from
$23,409, for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
compared to $20,382 for the three months ended March 31,
2004. The increase in corporate housing expenses is primarily
due to an increase in apartment rental expenses and an increase
in the number of units from 2,964 to 3,035 from March 31,
2004 to March 31, 2005. |
17
|
|
|
Undistributed Operating Expenses |
Total undistributed operating expenses decreased $1,124, or
4.6%, to $23,355 for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
compared to $24,479 for the three months ended March 31,
2004. Factors primarily contributing to the decrease were:
|
|
|
|
|
Administrative and general expense increased $567, or 3.2%, to
$18,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from
$17,464 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The
majority of this increase is due to a $2,046 increase in
administrative and general costs from our Sunstone division,
which we acquired in October 2004. These costs were
partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with an
insurance claim of $1,000 incurred by our insurance subsidiary
in the first quarter of 2004. In addition, during the first
quarter of 2004, we incurred $593 of expenses following the
closing of our Flagstone subsidiary in the fourth quarter of
2003, with no similar expenses in the first quarter of 2005. |
|
|
|
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $156, or 6.5%,
to $2,239 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from
$2,395 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This
decrease is primarily due to a large number of management
contracts that became fully amortized and the loss of other
management contracts that had intangible assets associated with
them that were written off during the first quarter of 2004. In
addition, our corporate housing segment closed its Detroit
office in August 2004. This decrease is partially offset by the
additional amortization expense related to management contracts
acquired in connection with the purchase of Sunstone and
increased depreciation expense related to the acquisition of the
Hilton Concord hotel. |
|
|
|
Restructuring charges increased $1,896, to $2,023 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, from $127 for the same period
last year. The increase is primarily due to the severance costs
of approximately $1,800 for our former CEO in connection with
the terms of his employment contract. |
|
|
|
Intangible asset write-offs and other impairments decreased
$3,431, to $1,062 for the three months ended March 31,

Reimbursable expenses, which we record as other revenue and
other expenses from managed properties under EITF 01-14,
increased by $24,757, or 13.8%, to $204,297 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005, from $179,540 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004. The primary reason for this increase
is the increase in the number of managed hotels from
March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005, directly resulting
in an increase in the number of hotel employees and in related
reimbursable salaries and other expenses. In addition, other
expenses from managed properties has been revised and reduced in
2004 by $14,610. Our statements of operations include an equal
and offsetting amount Other revenue from
managed properties which has also been revised
by the same amount. These amounts represent the payroll and
related costs, and certain other costs of the hotels
operations that are contractually reimbursed to us by the hotel
owners. The revisions have no impact on operating income (loss),
net income (loss), or earnings (loss) per share, or our
balance sheet or cash flows. |

Net loss decreased $2,320, to $1,424 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005, from $3,744 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004. The decrease in net loss is attributable to
the following:
Our equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates increased
$3,618, to earnings of $2,842 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005, compared to a loss of $776 for the same
period in 2004. The increase resulted mainly from our portion of
the gain from the sale of the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp hotel by
our joint venture, S.D. Bridgeworks, LLC, of approximately
$3,700.
Net interest expense increased $2,072, to $3,794 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, from $1,722 for the same
period in 2004. Included in interest expense is $1,847 of
unamortized deferred financing fees written-off in connection
with the repayment of our old subordinated term loan.
In January 2005, we recognized a gain of $385 from the exchange
of stock warrants in an unaffiliated company and subsequent sale
of that stock, which we had held as an investment.
Additionally, income tax benefit was $924, at an effective tax
rate of 39%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
compared to $2,554 for the three months ended March 31,
2004. The reduced income tax benefit for the current quarter
primarily resulted from the lower pre-tax loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2004. Management believes it is more likely
than not that we will realize our unreserved deferred tax assets
in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital We had $133 of cash and cash
equivalents at March 31, 2005, compared to $16,481 at
December 31, 2004, and a working capital deficit (current
assets less current liabilities) of $17,976 at March 31,
2005, compared to $1,171 at December 31, 2004. This
increase in our working capital deficiency of $16,805 resulted
primarily from the use of cash to purchase the Hilton Concord
hotel.
SOURCES AND USES OF CASH
Operating Activities Cash provided by
operating activities was $2,592 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005, compared to cash used in operating
activities of $7,012 for the three months ended March 31,
2004. The increase in cash provided is primarily from
improvements in our operating results described above, and an
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses balances
resulting from the additional activity in connection with our
Sunstone and Hilton Concord hotel acquisitions. These increases
were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and
prepaid expenses.
Investing Activities Cash used in investing
activities was $27,640 for the three months ended March 31,
2005 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase is
primarily related to the purchase of Hilton Concord hotel in
February 2005. This was offset by the cash provided from our
equity investments in hotel real estate, through distributions
of approximately $4,709, quarter to date, which included $2,859
in proceeds from the sale of the hotel owned by
S.D. Bridgeworks, LLC. We also received $483 from the sale
of an investment in an unaffiliated company.
Financing Activities Cash provided by
financing activities was $8,787 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005, compared to $4,655 for the same period of
2004. This increase in cash provided is mainly due to net
borrowings on long-term debt. We had net borrowings of $12,276
in 2005, as opposed to net borrowings of $4,094 in 2004. On
January 14, 2005, we amended our credit facility and
immediately borrowed approximately $87,200 to repay our existing
$40,000 subordinated term loan, $43,474 outstanding under our
prior credit facility and fees and other costs related for these
transactions. In addition, in February 2005, we borrowed an
additional $12,760 under our credit facility and entered into a
$19,000 mortgage loan in connection with the acquisition of the
Hilton Concord hotel.
19
DEBT
Senior Credit Facility On January 14,
2005, we entered into an amended and restated senior secured
credit facility with various lenders. The amended and restated
senior secured credit facility provides aggregate loan
commitments of a $53,000 term loan and a $55,000 revolving
credit facility. The credit facility is scheduled to mature on
January 14, 2008.
The actual rates for both the revolving credit facility and the
term loan depend on the results of certain financial tests. As
of March 31, 2005, based on those financial tests,
borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at
a rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points and borrowings under the
term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 550 basis
points. We incurred $1,491 and $608 of interest expense on our
senior credit facility for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
The debt under our amended credit facility is guaranteed by
certain of our existing subsidiaries and collateralized by
pledges of ownership interests, owned hospitality properties,
and other collateral that was not previously prohibited from
being pledged by any of our existing contracts and or
agreements. Our amended and restated credit facility contains
covenants that include maintenance of financial ratios at the
end of each quarter, compliance reporting requirements and other
customary restrictions.
In addition, we entered into two amendments to our new credit
facility on February 4, 2005 and May 5, 2005 in
connection with the purchase of the Hilton Concord hotel. The
amendments gave us relief with respect to certain covenants
through the second quarter of 2005. We are in compliance with
the amended loan covenants and expect to be in compliance for
the 12 months following March 31, 2005.
Concurrent with our senior credit facilitys refinancing,
we borrowed approximately $87,200 to repay our existing $40,000
subordinated term loan, $43,474 outstanding under our prior
senior secured credit facility as well as fees and expenses
related to the repayments and our new credit facility.
Mortgage Debt In February 2005, we entered
into a $19,000 non-recourse mortgage loan to finance a portion
of the acquisition of the Hilton Concord hotel. Interest only is
payable until the loan matures in March 2008. The loan bears
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points. Interest
expense incurred for the period ended March 31, 2005 was
$127.
Interest Rate Caps In February 2005, we
entered into a $19,000, three-year interest rate cap agreement
in connection with the mortgage loan on the Hilton Concord
hotel, in order to hedge against the potential effect of future
interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate agreement caps the
30-day LIBOR at 6.65% and is scheduled to mature on
March 1, 2008. At March 31, 2005, the fair value of
this interest rate cap agreement was approximately $21. In March
2005, we entered into a $55,000, three-year interest rate cap
agreement related to our amended and restated senior credit
agreement, in order to provide an economic hedge against the
potential effect of future interest rate fluctuations. The
interest rate agreement caps the 30-day LIBOR at 5.75% and is
scheduled to mature on January 14, 2008. At March 31,
2005 the fair value of this interest rate cap agreement was
approximately $122. The change in fair value of our interest
rate cap agreements is recorded in the statements of operations.
Sunstone Promissory Note On October 26,
2004, we entered in to a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire
Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc. In connection with the purchase
we entered into a non-interest bearing note with Sunstone Hotels
Investors, LLC, for $2,000 that is due December 31, 2005
and is recorded in the current portion of long-term debt.
Liquidity Currently we are limited in our
ability to increase our borrowings due to the additional debt
from the acquisition of the Hilton Concord hotel described
above. We have entered into two amendments to our credit
facility in order to obtain relief related to certain debt
covenant tests. However, we believe that cash generated by our
operations, together with borrowing capacity under our senior
credit agreement, will be sufficient to fund our requirements
for working capital, required capital expenditures and debt
service for the next twelve months. We expect to continue to
seek acquisitions of management contracts, and opportunities
where we can participate in the ownership of the hotels we
manage. We expect to finance future acquisitions through a
combination of additional borrowings under our credit facility
and the issuance of equity
20
instruments, including common stock or operating partnership
units, or additional/replacement debt, if market conditions
permit. We believe these sources of capital will be sufficient
to provide for our long-term capital needs. We will evaluate our
liquidity and investment requirements as circumstances dictate.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on
our credit facility and our new mortgage loan. Our interest rate
risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest
rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall
borrowing costs. The percentage of our debt that is floating
rate was 94% at both March 31, 2005 and December 31,
2004. In the first quarter of 2005, we entered into a new credit
facility and a mortgage loan, both of which are subject to
variable interest rates and we entered into two interest rate
cap agreements, described below. These items are described
below. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional
details.
On January 14, 2005, we entered into an amended and
restated senior secured credit facility with various lenders.
The scheduled maturity of the facility is January 14, 2008.
We pay interest on our borrowings under the revolving credit
facility at a rate ranging from LIBOR plus 325 to 350 basis
points and at a rate under the term loan ranging from LIBOR plus
450 to 550 basis points. The actual interest rates for both the
revolving credit facility and the term loan depend on the result
of certain financial tests. As of March 31, 2005, based on
those financial tests, borrowings under the revolving credit
facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points
and borrowings under the term loan bear interest at a rate of
LIBOR plus 550 basis points.
Concurrent with the closing on our new credit facility, on
January 14, 2005, we borrowed approximately $87,200 to
repay our existing $40,000 subordinated term loan, the $43,474
outstanding under our prior senior secured credit facility and
the related fees and expenses. The prior credit facility and
subordinated term loan were also variable rate interest debt.
In February 2005, we entered into a $19,000 mortgage loan in
connection with the acquisition of the Hilton Concord hotel. The
loan is scheduled to mature in March 2008. The mortgage loan
carries a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR plus a spread
of 2.25%.
In February 2005, we entered into a $19,000, three-year interest
rate cap agreement in connection with the mortgage debt we
assumed with the purchase of the Hilton Concord hotel, in order
to hedge against the effect that future interest rate
fluctuations may have on our floating rate debt. The interest
rate agreement caps the 30-day LIBOR at 6.65%. This cap is
scheduled to mature on March 1, 2008. At March 31,
2005, the fair value of this cap was approximately $21. In March
2005, we entered into a $55,000, three-year interest rate cap
agreement in connection with the amended and restated senior
credit agreement, in order to provide an economic hedge against
the effect that future interest rate fluctuations may have on
our floating rate debt. The interest rate agreement caps the
30-day LIBOR at 5.75%. This cap is scheduled to mature on
January 14, 2008. At March 31, 2005 the fair value of
this cap was approximately $122.
Giving effect to our interest rate hedging activities, a 1.0%
change in the 30-day LIBOR would have changed our interest
expense by approximately $236 and $152 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
Exchange Rate Risk
Our international operations are subject to foreign exchange
rate fluctuations. We derived approximately 3.8% and 3.4% of our
total revenues excluding reimbursed revenues from managed
properties for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively, from services performed in Canada, the
United Kingdom, France, and Russia. Our foreign currency
translation gains and (losses) were a net loss of $97 for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 which is included in
accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in our statement of
operations, net of tax. To date, since most of our foreign
operations have been largely self-contained or
dollar-denominated, we have not been exposed to material foreign
exchange risk. Therefore, we have not entered into any foreign
currency exchange contracts or other derivative financial
instruments to
21
hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. In the event that we have large transactions
requiring currency conversion we would reevaluate whether we
should engage in hedging activities.

Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in
our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs
rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive
officer, chief financial officer, and chief accounting officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure based closely on the definition of disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d15(e)).
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our chief executive
officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, we
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of March 31, 2005.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has not been any change in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting during the first quarter of
2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.
In addition, the design of any control system is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
Because of these and other inherent limitations of control
systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls
will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Also, we have investments in certain
unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these
entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to
these entities are substantially more limited than those we
maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
22
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
In the course of normal business activities, various lawsuits,
claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or
asserted against us. Based on currently available facts, we
believe that the disposition of matters pending or asserted will
not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 5. Other
Information
During the first quarter of 2005, the company and Steven D.
Jorns, our former Chief Executive Officer agreed to terminate
his employment with Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
In accordance with his separation and transition agreement,
Mr. Jorns will receive $1,400 in severance payments that
will be paid pro ratably over a 20 month period beginning
May 2005. In addition, during May 2005, he will be granted
25,000 restricted shares and 50,000 options which will cliff
vest on December 31, 2006. All previous unvested restricted
stock and option grants vested effective May 3, 2005.
