SUNSTONE HOTEL INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Description of Business
Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on June 28, 2004 in anticipation of an initial public offering of common stock, which was consummated on October 26, 2004. The Company, through its 100% controlling interest in Sunstone Hotel Partnership, LLC (the “Operating Partnership”), of which the Company is the sole managing member, and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, including Sunstone Hotel TRS Lessee, Inc. (the “TRS Lessee”) and its subsidiaries, is currently engaged in acquiring, owning, asset managing and renovating hotel properties. The Company may also sell certain hotel properties from time to time. The Company operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.
As a REIT, certain tax laws limit the amount of “non-qualifying” income the Company can earn, including income derived directly from the operation of hotels. As a result, the Company leases all of its hotels to its TRS Lessee, which in turn enters into long-term management agreements with third parties to manage the operations of the Company’s hotels. As of June 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the Company owned 38 hotels. Pursuant to a secured debt restructuring program initiated by33 hotels, including the Company in 2009Royal Palm Miami Beach, which was aimed at reducing leverageclassified as held for sale as of March 31, 2011 and minimizing risk associated with individualincluded in discontinued operations due to its sale in April 2011, leaving 32 hotels (the “2009 secured debt restructuring program”), the Company is currently in the process of transferring ownership and control of eight (the “Mass Mutual eight”) of its 38 hotels to a lender in satisfaction of a non-recourse mortgage, leaving 30 hotels (the “30“32 hotels”) currently held for investment. The Company has reclassified the assets, liabilities and operating results of the Mass Mutual eight to “operations held for non-sale disposition” on its balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows. Two additional hotels, the W San Diego and Marriott Ontario Airport, are included in discontinued operations. These two hotels were transferred to receivers pursuant to the 2009 secured debt restructuring program. The Renaissance Westchester, which was also transferred to a receiver pursuant to the 2009 secured debt restructuring program, was reacquired by the Company on June 14, 2010. Operating results for the Renaissance Westchester for 2009, therefore, are included in discontinued operations, whereas operating results from June 14, 2010 forward are included in the Company’s continuing operations.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s third-party managers included Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc., a divisionsubsidiary of Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Interstate SHP”), manager of 2013 of the Company’s 3832 hotels; subsidiaries of Marriott International, Inc. or Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. (collectively, “Marriott”), managers of 13 of the Company’s 3832 hotels; and Davidson Hotel Company, (“Davidson”), Fairmont Hotels & Resorts (U.S.) (“Fairmont”), Highgate Hotels, Hilton Worldwide, (“Hilton”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”) and Sage Hospitality Resources, (“Sage”), each managers of one of the Company’s 3832 hotels. In addition, to its wholly owned hotels,as of January 2011, the Company has a 38% equity interest in a joint ventureowns 100% of BuyEfficient, LLC (“BuyEfficient”), an electronic purchasing platform that owns one hotel.allows members to procure food, operating supplies, furniture, fixtures and equipment.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009,2010, and for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the TRS Lessee and their subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the Company’s opinion, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary to fairly present the interim financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009,2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2010.17, 2011.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation as a result of the transfer of the Marriott Ontario Airport to a receiver in March 2010, and the finalization of a restructuring agreement with Mass Mutual in April 2010 regarding the Mass Mutual eight hotels along with three additional hotels that secured this non-recourse mortgage.presentation.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reporting Periods
The results the Company reports in its consolidated statements of operations are based on results reported to the Company by its hotel managers. These hotel managers use different reporting periods. Marriott uses a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for each offor the first three quarters of the year, and sixteen or seventeen weeks of operations for the fourth quarter of the year. The Company’s other hotel managers report operations on a standard monthly calendar. The Company has elected to adopt quarterly close periods of March 31, June 30 and September 30, and an annual year end of December 31. As a result, the Company’s 2011 results of operations for the
Marriott-managed hotels include results from January 1 through March 25 for the first quarter, March 26 through June 17 for the second quarter, June 18 through September 9 for the third quarter, and September 10 through December 30 for the fourth quarter. The Company’s 2010 results of operations for the Marriott-managed hotels include results from January 2 through March 26 for the first quarter, March 27 through June 18 for the second quarter, June 19 through September 10 for the third quarter, and September 11 through December 31 for the fourth quarter. The Company’s 2009 results of operations for the Marriott-managed hotels include results from January 3 through March 27 for the first quarter, March 28 through June 19 for the second quarter, June 20 through September 11 for the third quarter, and September 12 through January 1 for the fourth quarter.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009,2010, the carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company follows the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and disclosing fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 |
| Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
|
Level 2 |
| Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
Level 3 |
| Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
As discussed in Note 9, the Company entered into interest rate protection agreements to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks in conjunction with its acquisitions of the outside 62% equity interests in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square and the JW Marriott New Orleans during the first quarter of 2011. The Company records interest rate protection agreements on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations as they are not designated as hedges. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company estimates the fair value of its interest rate protection agreements based on quotes obtained from the counterparties, which are based upon the consideration that would be required to terminate the agreements. The Company has valued these derivative contracts using Level 2 measurements at $0.3 million as of March 31, 2011.
The Company currently pays the premiums for a $5,000,000 split life insurance policy for its former Chief Executive Officer and current Executive Chairman, Robert A. Alter. Under the terms of the policy, the Company is entitled to receive the greater of the cash surrender value of the policy or the premiums paid by the Company following the termination of Mr. Alter’s employment with the Company. Within 60 days following the date of the termination of the split dollar policy during Mr. Alter’s lifetime, Mr. Alter may obtain a release of such obligation by paying the Company the greater of the total amount of the premiums paid by the Company or the then-current cash surrender value. The Company has valued this policy using Level 2 measurements at $1.8$1.9 million as of both June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009.2010. These amounts are included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Mr. Alter may amend the amount of his compensation to be deferred from time to time; provided, however, that any such amendment must be in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company will match 50% of Mr. Alter’s deferrals for each year, up to a maximum of $1,500 for that year. Earnings on Mr. Alter’s deferrals and the Company’s matching contributions are an amount equal to the amount which would have been earned on such deferrals and matching contributions had they been paid as premiums on the life insurance policy noted above in accordance with the investment designations made by Mr. Alter. The balance in Mr. Alter’s deferred compensation account is payable over a period of time following the termination of his employment with the Company,
regardless of the reason for such termination. The Company has valued this agreement using Level 2 measurements at $1.8$1.9 million as of both June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009.2010. These amounts are included in accrued payroll and employee benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
TheOn an annual basis and periodically when indicators of impairment exist, the Company has analyzed the carrying values of its hotel properties using Level 3 measurements, including a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of its hotel properties taking into account each property’s expected cash flow from operations, holding period and estimated proceeds from the disposition of the property. The factors addressed in determining estimated proceeds from disposition included anticipated operating cash flow in the year of disposition and terminal capitalization rate. In JuneFor the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized a $1.9 million impairment on an office building and land adjacent to one of its hotels based on estimated proceeds expected to be received from the possible sale of this property during the third or fourth quarter of 2010. Whendid not identify any properties with indicators of impairment existed in 2009 and the undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company used terminal capitalization rates in its 2009 analyses ranging between 8.1% and 9.6%, based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, a hurdle rate assigned to each hotel to account for a hotel’s individual characteristics including, but not limited to, size, age and market supply, and an estimated average annual growth rate.impairment.
The Company has analyzedalso analyzes the carrying value of its goodwill using Level 3 measurements including a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of its reporting units. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not identify any propertiesgoodwill with indicators of goodwill impairment. When indicators of goodwill impairment existed in 2009 and the discounted cash flows were less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, the Company used discount rates ranging between 13.0% and 13.8% in its 2009 analyses, taking into account each related reporting unit’s expected cash flow from operations, holding period and proceeds from the potential disposition of the property. The factors addressed in determining estimated proceeds from disposition include anticipated operating cash flow in the year of potential disposition and terminal capitalization rate. The Company used terminal capitalization rates in its 2009 analyses ranging between 8.1% and 9.6%, based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, a hurdle rate assigned to each hotel to account for a hotel’s individual characteristics including, but not limited to, size, age and market supply, and an estimated average annual growth rate. The Company’s judgment is required in determining the discount rate applied to estimated cash flows, the terminal capitalization rate, the growth rate of each property’s projected revenues and expenses, the need for capital expenditures, as well as specific market and economic conditions.
As of June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009, all2010, 81.4% and 100%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding debt had fixed interest rates.rates, including the effect of an interest rate swap agreement.

Goodwill
The Company follows the requirements of the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC, which states that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are subject to annual impairment tests. As a result, the carrying value of goodwill allocated to the hotel properties and other assets is included in continuing operations. At June 30, 2010reviewed at least annually for impairment. In addition, when facts and circumstances suggest that the Company’s goodwill may be impaired, an interim evaluation of goodwill is prepared. Such review entails comparing the carrying value of the individual hotel property or other asset (the reporting unit) including the allocated goodwill to the fair value determined for that reporting unit (see Fair Value of Financial Instruments for detail on the Company’s valuation methodology). If the aggregate carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is impaired to the extent of the difference between the fair value and the aggregate carrying value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the allocated goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment evaluation is performed each year as of December 31.

Earnings Per Share
The Company applies the two-class method when computing its earnings per share as required by the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires the net income per share for each class of stock (common stock and convertible preferred stock) to be calculated assuming 100% of the Company’s net income is distributed as dividends to each class of stock based on their contractual rights. To the extent the Company has undistributed earnings in any calendar quarter, the Company will follow the two-class method of computing earnings per share.
The Company follows the requirements of ASC 260-10, which states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. For the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, no earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends were allocated to the participating securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,undistributed earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends of zero$0.3 million and $0.4 million,zero, respectively, were allocated to the participating securities.
In accordance with the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, basic earnings available (loss attributable) to common stockholders per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings available (loss attributable) to common stockholders per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus potential common shares considered outstanding during the period, as long as the inclusion of such awards is not anti-dilutive. Potential common shares consist of unvested restricted stock awards (using the treasury stock method), the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the Company’s Series C Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C preferred stock”).

Such review entails comparing the carrying value of the individual hotel property (the reporting unit) including the allocated goodwill to the fair value determined for that hotel property (see Fair Value of Financial Instruments for detail on the Company’s valuation methodology). If the aggregate carrying value of the hotel property exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the hotel property is impaired to the extent of the difference between the fair value and the aggregate carrying value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the allocated goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment evaluation is performed each year as of December 31.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s segments. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA for both of its segments as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, property and goodwill impairment losses and interest expense. Non-segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, amortization of deferred financing fees, any write-offs of deferred financing fees or loan penalties and fees, amortization of deferred stock compensation, gain on sale of assets or extinguishment of debt, and property and goodwill impairment losses. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance because these measures help investors evaluate and compare the results of its operations from period to period by removing the impact of the Company’s capital structure (primarily interest expense) and the Company’s asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results. The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. The Company cautions
investors that amounts presented in accordance with its definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of the Company’s net income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for the Company’s discretionary use to fund interest expense, capital expenditures or general corporate purposes. Although the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA can enhance an investor’s understanding of the Company’s results of operations, this non-GAAP financial measure, when viewed individually, is not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions may harm the Company’s cash flow.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Management Agreements

Several of the Company’s franchise agreements contain corporate guaranties. In the event of a default under any of these franchise agreements, the Company may be liable for termination fees. Currently, five of the Mass Mutual eight hotels remain subject to franchise agreements which contain corporate guaranties. If the franchise agreements on these five hotels were to be terminated, the Company may be liable for up to $19.6 million in termination fees, which is included in other current liabilities of discontinued operations, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects the franchise agreements on these five hotels to be finalized during the second quarter of 2011, and to record any necessary adjustments to its liability for the termination fees in its statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011, however resolution may not be achieved until the second half of 2011.

Concentration of Risk
As of June 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, nine of the 30Company’s 32 hotels were located in California, the largest concentration of the Company’s hotels in any state, representing approximately 26%24% of the Company’s rooms and approximately 25%24% of the revenue generated by the Company’s 3032 hotels during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2010.March 31, 2011. The concentration of the Company’s hotels in California exposes the Company’s business to economic conditions, competition and real and personal property tax rates unique to California.
Other
The Company has provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders. The Company has performed due diligence on the potential environmental risks, including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate the Company to reimburse the indemnified parties for damages related to certain environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an environmental matter arises, the Company could have recourse against other previous owners or a claim against its environmental insurance policies.
At June 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the Company had $7.8$1.6 million of outstanding irrevocable letters of credit to guaranty the Company’s financial obligations related to workers’ compensation insurance programs from prior policy years, as well as future pension plan funding obligations and working capital requirements pursuant to certain management agreements.years. The beneficiaries of these letters of credit may draw upon these letters of credit in the event of a contractual default by the Company relating to each respective obligation. No draws have been made through June 30, 2010.
Several of the Company’s franchise agreements contain corporate guaranties. Should any of the hotels included in these franchise agreements default on the agreements, the Company may be liable for any termination fees. Currently, the Marriott Ontario Airport and seven of the hotels included in the Mass Mutual eight are in default as a result of the Company’s 2009 secured debt restructuring program.

15.14. Transactions With Affiliates
Other Reimbursements

The affiliates generally reimburse such amounts on a monthly basis. At June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009,2010, amounts owed to the Company by its affiliates amounted to $34,000$17,000 and $62,000,$44,000, respectively, and are included in due from affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Transactions With Others

The Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and current Executive Chairman, Robert A. Alter, was a 5.2% stockholder in GTS, and his brother, Richard Alter, was the majority stockholder in GTS, until they both divested their interests in April 2009. Richard Alter remains an employee with GTS. The Company paid GTS nominal amounts in 2010 and $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
16.15. Variable Interest Entities
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-17, codified in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, on January 1, 2010, which changeschanged the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”). It also amendsamended the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis includes, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that
most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This topic also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, the applicable standard required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. The topic also requires additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE.
Upon adoption of ASU No. 2009-17, the Company evaluated its variable interests, including the management agreements it has with its third-party hotel managers and its interest in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture, to determine whether or not these variable interests are VIEs. The Company’s analysis included both quantitative and qualitative reviews. In arriving at the VIE determination for its third-party management agreements, the Company followed the guidance in ASC 810-10-55-37, “Fees Paid to Decision Makers or Service Providers,” which states that fees paid to a legal entity’s decision makers or service providers are not variable interests if six conditions are met: 1) the fees are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services; 2) substantially all of the fees are at or above the same level of seniority as other operating liabilities of the VIE that arise in the normal course of the VIE’s activities, such as trade payables; 3) the decision maker or service provider does not hold other interests in the VIE that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected residual returns; 4) the service arrangement includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length; 5) the total amount of anticipated fees are insignificant relative to the total amount of the VIE’s anticipated economic performance; and 6) the anticipated fees are expected to absorb an insignificant amount of the variability associated with the VIE’s anticipated economic performance, which includes any carried interests, promotes or incentive fees. Based on the six conditions stated in ASC 810-10-55-37, the Company has determined that the management agreements for all but three of its hotels are not variable interest entities. The three hotels do not meet conditions (5) and (6) as each of the three hotel’s incentive management fees are significant relative to the total amount of each hotel’s economic performance, and these fees are expected to absorb a significant amount of the variability associated with each hotel’s anticipated economic performance. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these three VIEs because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the hotels’ economic performance, such as developing budgets and renovation programs as well as making the decision to sell the hotels, and it is obligated to absorb the losses or to receive the benefits from the hotels that could potentially be significant to the hotels. The Company has, therefore, consolidated these three VIEs.
ThoughPrior to its purchase of the outside 62% equity interests in its Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture in January 2011, the Company concluded its interest in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture iswas a VIE, the Company has determinedbut that it iswas not the primary beneficiary because it doesdid not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impactimpacted the economic performance of the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square. The Company, therefore, will continue to accountaccounted for this investment using the equity method. Subsequent to its purchase of the outside 62% equity interests in its Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture in January 2011, the Company consolidates the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square with its continuing operations, however, based on the six conditions stated in ASC 810-10-55-37, the Company has determined that the management agreement for the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square is not a variable interest entity.
17.16. Subsequent Events
On July 2, 2010,In April 2011, the Company completed its previously announced deed backsold an aggregate of 4,600,000 shares, including the full exercise of the W San Diegounderwriters’ overallotment option, of 8.0% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D preferred stock”), with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share for gross proceeds of $115.0 million. The proceeds are expected to be used for growth capital expenditures, acquisitions and titlefor general corporate purposes. On or after April 6, 2016, the Series D preferred stock will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but not including, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, (i) the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series D preferred stock in whole or in part and within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, and (ii) holders of Series D preferred stock will have the right (unless, prior to the hotel was transferredchange of control conversion date, the Company has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the Series D preferred stock) to convert some or all of their shares of Series D preferred stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders of Series D preferred stock generally have no voting rights. However, if the Company is in arrears on dividends on the Series D preferred stock for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of the Series D preferred stock will be entitled to vote at its next annual meeting and each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Company’s board of directors until all unpaid dividends and the dividend for the then-current period with respect to the lender.Series D preferred stock have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. The Company will record a gain on extinguishment of debt to discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2010,Series D preferred stock has no maturity date and the net assets and liabilities will be removed fromCompany is not required to redeem the Series D preferred stock at any time, unless the Company decides, at its balance sheets.option, to exercise its redemption right or, under circumstances where the holders of Series D preferred stock decide to convert the Series D preferred stock.
In April 2011, the Company sold the Royal Palm Miami Beach hotel for $130.0 million, including $40.0 million in cash and a $90.0 million mortgage secured purchase money loan to the buyer which matures in December 2013. The mortgage secured purchase money loan bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 500 basis points through December 2012, and LIBOR plus 600 basis points for 2013. The Company also retained an earn-out right which will enable it to receive future payments of up to $20.0 million in the event that the hotel achieves certain return hurdles.
In April 2011, the Company paid $180.9 million, excluding prorations and closing costs, to acquire a 75% majority interest in the joint venture that owns the 1,190-room Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel located in San Diego, California, which implied a gross value of approximately $475.0 million. Concurrent with the acquisition, the joint venture entered into a new $240.0 million mortgage financing secured by the hotel. The mortgage bears a floating rate of interest of LIBOR plus 325 basis points, and matures in 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting for this acquisition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a Maryland corporation. We operate as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”). A REIT is a legal entity that directly or indirectly owns real estate assets. REITs generally are not subject to federal income taxes at the corporate level as long as they pay stockholder dividends equivalent to 100% of their taxable income. REITs are required to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of their taxable income. We own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the interests of Sunstone Hotel Partnership, LLC (the “Operating Partnership”), which is the entity that directly or indirectly owns our hotel properties. We also own 100% of the interests of our taxable REIT subsidiary, Sunstone Hotel TRS Lessee, Inc., which leases all of our hotels from the Operating Partnership, and engages third parties to manage our hotels.
Partnership, and engages third parties to manage our hotels. In addition, prior to January 21, 2011, we owned 50% of BuyEfficient, LLC (“BuyEfficient”), an electronic purchasing platform that allows members to procure food, operating supplies, furniture, fixtures and equipment. In January 2011, we purchased the outside 50% equity interest in BuyEfficient for $9.0 million, and as a result, we are now the sole owner of BuyEfficient.
We own primarily upper upscale and upscale hotels in the United States. As of June 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we owned 3033 hotels, including one hotel classified as held for investment (the “30 hotels”). We continue to own 10 additional hotels which are in the process of being deeded back to certain lenders pursuant to our 2009 secured debt restructuring program. These 10 hotels include the W San Diego and Marriott Ontario Airport, which are held in receivershipsale and included in discontinued operations, and eight additionalleaving 32 hotels which we are currently in the process of deeding back to a lender, and which are included in operations held for non-sale disposition. The eight hotels secure the non-recourse mortgage with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Companyinvestment (the “Mass Mutual eight”“32 hotels”), and include: Renaissance Atlanta Concourse; Hilton Huntington; Residence Inn by Marriott Manhattan Beach; Marriott Provo; Courtyard by Marriott San Diego (Old Town); Holiday Inn Downtown San Diego; Holiday Inn Express San Diego (Old Town); and Marriott Salt Lake City (University Park). Three additional hotels which previously secured the Mass Mutual loan (Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Airport, Kahler Inn & Suites Rochester and Marriott Rochester) were released in April 2010 following our payment of an $83.0 million release price. In addition, the Renaissance Westchester was included in our 2009 secured debt restructuring program and held in receivership until we reacquired the hotel for $26.0 million, including related costs, in June 2010. The results of operations for the Renaissance Westchester are included in continuing operations from the date we reacquired the hotel, June 14, 2010 forward. Prior to June 14, 2010, the results of operations for the Renaissance Westchester are included in discontinued operations as possession and control of the hotel was held by a court-appointed receiver. The Renaissance Westchester, along with the three hotels released from the Mass Mutual loan, are included in the 30 hotels. Of the 3032 hotels, we classify 2829 as upscale or upper upscale, onetwo as luxury and one as mid-scaleupper midscale as defined by Smith Travel Research, Inc. In addition to our wholly owned hotels, we own a 38% equity interest in a joint venture that owns one hotel, and we own certain other non-hotel investments. The majority of our hotels are operated under nationally recognized brands such as Marriott, Fairmont, Hilton and Hyatt, which are among the most respected and widely recognized brands in the lodging industry. WeWhile we believe the largest and most stable segment of demand for hotel rooms is represented by travelers who prefer the consistent service and quality associated with nationally recognized brands.brands, we also believe that in certain markets the strongest demand growth may come from the travelers who prefer non-branded hotels that focus on highly customized service standards.
We seek to own hotels in urban locations that benefit from significant barriers to entry by competitors. Most of our hotels are considered business, convention, or airport hotels, as opposed to resort, leisure or extended-stay hotels. The hotels comprising our 3032 hotel portfolio average 377383 rooms in size.
The demandIn April 2011, we completed the sale of the Royal Palm Miami Beach, which was classified as held for sale at March 31, 2011, for gross proceeds of $130.0 million. In addition, we paid $180.9 million, excluding prorations and closing costs, to acquire a 75% majority interest in the joint venture that owns the 1,190-room Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel located in San Diego, California, which implied a gross value of approximately $475.0 million. Subsequent to these transactions, we have 33 hotels held for investment, which average 408 rooms in size.
Our mission is to create meaningful value for our stockholders by investing in institutional-quality hotels which generate returns in excess of our cost of capital. Demand for lodging generally fluctuates with the overall economy. We refer to these changes in demand as the lodging cycle, and we seek to employ a balanced, cycle-appropriate portfolio management strategy. During the recoverycorporate strategy that encompasses internal growth, external growth and growth phases of the lodging cycle, our strategy emphasizes active investment, both in terms of acquisitions of new hotels and selective renovations of our existing portfolio. During the mature phase of the lodging cycle, our strategy emphasizes net hotel dispositions, and during periods of cyclical declines, our strategy emphasizes capital preservation.financial objectives.
Through all phases of the lodging cycle, we seek to maximizeour strategy emphasizes internal growth objectives oriented toward maximizing the value of our portfolio through proactive asset management, which entails working closely with our third-party hotel operators to develop plans and actions designed to enhance revenues, minimize operational expenses and asset risk, maximize the appeal of our hotels to travelers.travelers and maximize our return on invested capital. During the recovery phase we also focus on improving the growth potential of our existing portfolio through selective hotel renovations.
During the first six monthsrecovery and growth phases of the lodging cycle, our strategy emphasizes external growth objectives oriented toward active investment in hotels that are additive to the quality of our portfolio, that have attractive growth potential and that may benefit from our asset management competencies. We endeavor to structure our acquisitions in a way that will not only increase the intrinsic value of our common shares, but also will advance our other corporate objectives, such as improving our financial flexibility and reducing our leverage. During periods of cyclical decline, our strategy may emphasize opportunistically investing in distressed assets and the repurchase of our equity or debt securities.
Our current financial objectives include the measured improvement of our credit ratios, maintenance of appropriate levels of liquidity, and a gradual reduction in our financial leverage. Our financial objectives are integral to our overall corporate strategy, and accordingly we have developed our financial objectives in conjunction with our internal and external growth objectives. The lodging industry is economically sensitive. Therefore, our financial objectives are aimed at reducing the potentially negative impact of combining high operating leverage with high financial leverage, while preserving access to multiple capital sources and minimizing our weighted-average cost of capital. We seek to capitalize our acquisitions in a way that will advance our financial objectives. For example, as reducing our financial leverage is a key objective, we expect to fund our acquisitions with a greater proportion of equity capital than debt capital. During the mature phase of the lodging cycle, our financial objectives may include liquidity improvement, which may be accomplished through selective hotel dispositions.
During 2010, we began to see increasingly positive signs in terms of improving business and consumer sentiment, which may point to an impending economic recovery, setting the stage forand which may lead to a prolonged period of positive fundamentals in the lodging industry. Accordingly, we believe we are currently in the early stages of a recovery phase of the lodging cycle. Consistent with our cycle-appropriate strategy, weWe believe that acquiring hotels acquired now mayare likely to benefit from a multi-year recovery in hotel profitability, and are likely to create long-term value andin excess of our investment hurdles. Accordingly, we expect to deployhave deployed a portion of our excess cash balance in 2010during the first quarter of 2011 towards selective hotel acquisitions. These selective acquisitions included: the purchase of the outside 62% equity interests in our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture for $37.5 million in cash and the assumption of $270.0 million in non-
recourse senior mortgage and mezzanine debt; the purchase of the outside 50% equity interest in our BuyEfficient joint venture for $9.0 million in cash; and the purchase of the JW Marriott New Orleans for approximately $51.6 million in cash and the assumption of $42.2 million in debt. In addition, in April 2011, we paid $180.9 million, excluding prorations and closing costs, to acquire a 75% majority interest in a joint venture that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, which implied a gross value of approximately $475.0 million. Concurrent with the acquisition, the joint venture entered into a new $240.0 million mortgage financing secured by the hotel. Our acquisition program is aimed at generating attractive risk-adjusted returns on our investment dollars, and therefore we may target lodging assets outside of the typical branded, urban, upper upscale profile represented by our existing portfolio in order to capitalize on opportunities which may arise, butarise. We intend to select the brands and operators for our hotels that we do not expect these atypical lodging assetsbelieve will lead to comprise a major component of our portfolio.the highest returns. Additionally, the scope of our acquisitions program may include large hotel portfolios or hotel loans. FutureIn general, future acquisitions may be funded by our issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including our common and preferred OP units.units, or by draws on our $150.0 million senior corporate credit facility entered into in November 2010. However, in light of our current financial objectives, we expect to capitalize any near term acquisitions with a greater proportion of equity capital than debt capital.
TheAs of March 31, 2011, the weighted average term to maturity of our debt is approximately 6.75.5 years, and 100%81.4% of our debt is fixed rate with ana weighted average interest rate of 5.6%5.5%. Of our total debt, approximately $180.0$367.8 million matures over the next four years ($81.0 million in 2010, none(none in 2011, $33.6$303.1 million in 2012, and $65.4$64.7 million in 2013, assuming we repay our remaining Senior Notes remaining balance of $62.5 million at the first put date in 2013)2013, and none in 2014). The $180.0$303.1 million maturing in 2012 includes $270.0 million of non-recourse senior mortgage and mezzanine debt on the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, which we plan to refinance during 2011, funding any refinancing shortfall with existing cash. The $367.8 million does not include $12.5 million of scheduled loan amortization payments which total $4.7 million for the remainder of 2010, $13.5 milliondue in 2011, $15.6$17.9 million due in 2012, $19.0 million due in 2013, and $16.6$20.0 million due in 2013. In addition, in April 2010, we made a partial payment of $83.0 million on the Mass Mutual mortgage loan to secure the release of three of the 11 hotels securing the loan, and in June 2010, we reacquired the Renaissance Westchester for $26.0 million, including related costs. In connection with the repurchase of the Renaissance Westchester, the $29.2 million non-recourse mortgage secured by the hotel was cancelled. We recognized a gain of $6.7 million on the extinguishment of this debt, which is included in discontinued operations.

Operating Activities
Operating Performance Indicators. The following performance indicators are commonly used in the hotel industry:
· occupancy;Occupancy;
· averageAverage daily room rate, or ADR;
· revenueRevenue per available room, or RevPAR, which is the product of occupancy and ADR, and does not include food and beverage revenue, or other operating revenue;
· comparableComparable RevPAR, which we define as the RevPAR generated by hotels we owned as of the end of the reporting period, but excluding those hotels that experienced material and prolonged business interruption due to renovations, re-branding or property damage during either the most recent calendar year presented or the calendar year immediately preceding it. For hotels that were not owned for the entirety of the comparison periods, comparable RevPAR is calculated using RevPAR generated during periods of prior ownership. We refer to this subset of our hotels used to calculate comparable RevPAR as our “Comparable Portfolio;Portfolio.” Currently our Comparable Portfolio includes all 32 hotels, and includes prior ownership results for both the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square and the JW Marriott New Orleans, as well as operating results for the Renaissance Westchester for all periods presented, including the period in 2010 while it was held in receivership;
· RevPAR index, which is the quotient of a hotel’s RevPAR divided by the average RevPAR of its competitors, multiplied by 100. A RevPAR index in excess of 100 indicates a hotel is achieving higher RevPAR than its competitors. In addition to absolute RevPAR index, we monitor changes in RevPAR index;
· EBITDA, which is income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders excluding: distributions to non-controlling interest; preferred stock dividends; interest expense (including prepayment penalties, if any); provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and depreciation and amortization;
· Adjusted EBITDA, which includes EBITDA but excludes: amortization of deferred stock compensation; the impact of any gain or loss from asset sales; impairment charges; and any other identified adjustments;
· Adjusted Hotel EBITDA, which is calculated as hotel revenues less hotel expenses excluding corporate-level expenses, such as preferred stock dividends, interest expense (including prepayment penalties, if any), provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, and any other identified adjustments;
·Hotel EBITDA Margin, which is the quotient of adjusted hotel EBITDA divided by hotel revenues;
·operating flow through, which is the quotient of incremental operating income (Adjusted hotel EBITDA) divided by incremental revenues;
·Funds from operations, or FFO, which includes income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders, excluding distributions to non-controlling interest, gains and losses from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures; and
· Adjusted FFO, which includes FFO but excludes prepayment penalties, written-off deferred financing costs, impairment losses and other identified adjustments.
Revenues. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the operation of our hotels. Specifically, our revenues consist of the following:
· Room revenuesrevenue, which is the product of the number of rooms sold and the ADR;
· Food and beverage revenuesrevenue, which is comprised of revenuesrevenue realized in the hotel food and beverage outlets as well as banquet and catering events; and
· Other operating revenuesrevenue, which includeincludes ancillary hotel revenue such as performance guaranties, if any, and other items primarily driven by occupancy such as telephone, transportation, parking, spa, entertainment and other guest services. Additionally, this category includes, among other things, operating revenue from our two commercial laundry facilities located in Rochester, Minnesota and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well asBuyEfficient, and hotel space leased by third parties; and
·Revenues of operations held for non-sale disposition, which includes room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other operating revenues for those hotels which we intend to dispose of other than by sale. Currently, this category includes the Mass Mutual eight hotels. In November 2009, we elected to cease the subsidization of debt service on the Mass Mutual non-recourse mortgage, as we believed that the values of the 11 hotels that secured this loan were, on a collective basis, significantly less than the principal amount of the mortgage. Prior to electing this default, we worked with the loan’s lender representative to amend the repayment terms, but we were unable to reach mutually acceptable amendment terms. Other than as noted above with respect to the partial release of three of the hotels securing the Mass Mutual loan, we do not expect further negotiations with the lender representative, and we are working to convey the Mass Mutual eight hotels to the lender in lieu of repayment of the debt. We have reclassified the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Mass Mutual eight hotels to “operations held for non-sale disposition” on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.parties.
Expenses. Our expenses consist of the following:
· Room expense, which is primarily driven by occupancy and, therefore, has a significant correlation with room revenues;revenue;
· Food and beverage expense, which is primarily driven by food and beverage sales and banquet and catering bookings and, therefore, has a significant correlation with food and beverage revenues;revenue;
· Other operating expense, which includes the corresponding expense of other operating revenue, advertising and promotion, repairs and maintenance, utilities, and franchise costs;
· Property tax, ground lease and insurance expense, which includes the expenses associated with property tax, ground lease and insurance payments, each of which is primarily a fixed expense;expense, but property tax is subject to regular revaluations based on the specific tax regulations and practices of each municipality;
· Property general and administrative expense, which includes our property-level general and administrative expenses, such as payroll and related costs, professional fees, travel expenses, and management fees;
· Corporate overhead expense, which includes our corporate-level expenses, such as payroll and related costs, amortization of deferred stock compensation, acquisition and due diligence costs, professional fees, travel expenses and office rent; and
· Depreciation and amortization expense, which includes depreciation on our hotel buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, along with amortization on our franchise fees and intangibles;
·Operating expenses of operations held for non-sale disposition, which includes room expense, food and beverage expense, other operating expenses, advertising and promotion, repairs and maintenance, utilities, franchise costs, property tax, ground lease and insurance expense, property general and administrative expense, and depreciation and amortization expense for those hotels which we intend to dispose of other than by sale. Currently, this category includes the Mass Mutual eight hotels;
·Property and goodwill impairment losses expense, which includes the charges we have recognized to reduce the carrying value of assets on our balance sheets to their fair value and to write-off goodwill in association with our quarterly impairment evaluations; and
·Goodwill impairment losses of operations held for non-sale disposition, which includes the charges we have recognized to write-off goodwill in association with our quarterly impairment evaluations for those hotels which we intend to dispose of other than by sale. Currently, this category includes the Mass Mutual eight hotels.intangibles.
Other Revenue and Expense. Other revenue and expense consists of the following:
· Equity in net earnings (losses) of unconsolidated joint ventures, which includes our portion of earnings or losses from our two joint ventures;ventures, BuyEfficient and Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, prior to our acquisitions of the outside interests in both joint ventures in January 2011. Subsequent to these acquisitions, both entities are now presented on a consolidated basis;
· Interest and other income, which includes interest we have earned on our restricted and unrestricted cash accounts, as well as any gains or losses we have recognized on sales of assets other than hotels;
· Interest expense, which includes interest expense incurred on our outstanding debt, accretion of the Senior Notes, amortization of deferred financing fees, any write-offs of deferred financing fees, gains or losses on derivatives and any loan penalties and fees incurred on our debt;
26·Gain on remeasurement of equity interests, which includes the gain we recognized to mark up the equity interests in our BuyEfficient and Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint ventures to fair market value upon our purchases of the outside equity interests in these joint ventures, as well as our gain to mark up the mezzanine loan to its fair value in connection with the acquisition of the outside equity interest in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture;
·Distributions to non-controlling interest, which includes preferred dividends earned by investors from an entity that owns the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, including related administrative fees; and
·Interest expense of operations held for non-sale disposition, which includes interest expense, amortization of deferred financing fees and any loan penalties and fees incurred on our debt for those hotels which we intend to dispose of other than by sale. Currently, this category includes the Mass Mutual eight hotels;
·Gain on extinguishment of debt, which includes the gain we recognized on the repurchase and cancellation of the Senior Notes;
·Dividends paid on unvested restricted stock compensation, which includes dividends earned on our unvested restricted stock awards; and
· Preferred stock dividends and accretion, which includes dividends earned on our 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A preferred stock”) and Series C Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C preferred stock”), and redemption value accretion on our Series C preferred stock.
Factors Affecting Our Operating Results. The primary factors affecting our operating results include overall demand for hotel rooms, the pace of new hotel development, or supply, and the relative performance of our operators in increasing revenue and controlling hotel operating expenses.
· Demand. The demand for lodging generally fluctuates with the overall economy. AsIn 2010, following a result of the U.S. recession and the deterioration of the credit markets, the lodging cycle entered a decline phase in 2008. While total RevPAR for the 30 hotels declined by 6.3% in the first quarter of 2010 as comparedtwo year cyclical trough, we began to the same period in 2009, we are seeing positivesee signs of improving demand trends and Comparable Portfolio RevPAR increased 3.7% as compared to 2009. These improving demand trends continued in the first quarter of 2011, and Comparable Portfolio RevPAR for the 30our 32 hotels increased by 6.8% in the second quarter of 20105.3% as compared to the same period in 2009.first quarter of 2010. Consistent with prior trends, we anticipate that lodging demand will continue to improve as liquidity is restored in the credit markets and the U.S. economy beginscontinues to strengthen. Historically, periods of declining demandcyclical troughs are followed by extended periods of relatively strong demand, resulting in a cyclical lodging growth phase. Assuming the current U.S. recession ended in the later part of 2009,While growth is not expected to be uniform, we expect hotel demand to begincontinue to show year-over-year increases beginning in 2010 andstrengthen throughout the remainder of 2011.
· Supply. The addition of new competitive hotels affects the ability of existing hotels to drive RevPAR and profits. The development of new hotels is largely driven by construction costs and expected performance of existing hotels. We believe the lodging industry will benefit from the recentThe recession and credit crisis as restrictedwhich occurred in 2008 and 2009 served to restrict credit and tightertighten lending standards, have made it difficult to financewhich resulted in a meaningful curtailment of funding for new hotel construction projects. WeMoreover, with demand still meaningfully below peak levels, new supply in many markets is difficult to justify economically. Accordingly, we believe hotel development will be constrained until operating trends of existing hotels improve to levels where developer return targets can be achieved, and until the construction financing markets recover. Given the one to three yearone-to-three-year timeline needed to construct a typical hotel that would compete with our hotels, we expect a window of at least two to four years beginning in 2010 during which hotel supply, as indicated by the number of new hotel openings, will be below historical levels.
· Revenues and expenses. We believe that marginal improvements in RevPAR index, even in the face of declining revenues, are a good indicator of the relative quality and appeal of our hotels, and our operators’ effectiveness in maximizing revenues. Similarly, we believe that strong operating flow through is a good indicator ofalso evaluate our operators’ effectiveness in minimizing incremental operating expenses in the context of increasing revenues or, conversely, in reducing operating expenses in the context of declining revenues.
With respect to improving RevPAR index, we continue to work with our hotel operators to optimize revenue management initiatives while taking into consideration market demand trends and the pricing strategies of competitor hotels in our markets. We also develop capital investment programs designed to ensure each of our hotels is well renovated and positioned to appeal to groups and individual travelers fitting target guest profiles. Our revenue management initiatives are generally oriented towards maximizing ADR even if the result may be marginally lower occupancy than may be achieved through lower ADR, as increasesADR. Increases in RevPAR attributable to increases in ADR may be accompanied by minimal additional expenses, while increases in RevPAR attributable to higher occupancy may result in higher variable expenses such as housekeeping, labor and utilities expense. Thus, increases in RevPAR associated with higher ADR may result in better flow through, and as a result, higher hotel EBITDA margins. Increases in RevPAR associated with higher occupancy may result in worse flow through and, as a result,more muted EBITDA margin improvement may be muted.improvement.
With respect to maximizing operating flow through, we continue to work with our operators to identify operational efficiencies designed to reduce expenses while minimally affecting guest experience. Key asset management initiatives include reducing hotel staffing levels, capitalizing on relaxed brand standards,increasing the efficiency of the hotels, such as reducing complimentary amenities,installing energy efficient management and inventory control systems, and selectively closingcombining certain food and beverage outlets. Our operational efficiency initiatives may be difficult to implement, as most categories of variable operating expenses, such as utilities and certain labor costs, such as housekeeping, fluctuate
with changes in occupancy. Furthermore, our hotels operate with significant fixed costs, such as general and administrative expense, insurance, property taxes, and other expenses associated with owning hotels, over which our operators may have little control. We have experienced increases in hourly wages, employee benefits (especially health insurance) and utility costs, which have negatively affected our hotel EBITDAoperating margins. Moreover, there are limits to how far our operators can reduce expenses without affecting the competitiveness of our hotels.
Operating Results. The following table presents theour unaudited operating results for our total portfolio for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, including the amount and percentage change in the results between the two periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The following table reconciles net income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for our hotel portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and 2009.2010. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because these measures help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense and preferred stock dividends) and our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use to fund interest expense, capital expenditures or general corporate purposes. Although we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions may harm our cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA was $43.2 million and $44.8$32.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $74.2 million and $83.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 as compared to $31.0 million for the same period in 20092010. Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.2 million in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily due to increased earnings at our hotels were partially offset by transition costs incurred as a result of our management company changes. Adjusted EBITDA decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to decreased earnings at our hotels, combined with transition costs incurred as a result of our management company changes.hotels.
The following table reconciles net income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders to FFO and Adjusted FFO for our hotel portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and 2009.2010. We believe that the presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because they are measures of our operations without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities than our ongoing operations. We also use FFO as one measure in determining our results after taking into account the impact of our capital structure. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of FFO and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. FFO and Adjusted FFO should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income (loss), operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. FFO and Adjusted FFO may include funds that may not be available for our discretionary use to fund interest expense, capital expenditures or general corporate purposes. Although we believe that FFO and Adjusted FFO can enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations, these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed individually, are not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to GAAP measures such as net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. In addition, you should be aware that adverse economic and market conditions may harm our cash flow.

While we are required to record such loan penalties and fees, as this loan is non-recourse to us, we do not intend to actually fund such fees, and consequently, we expect to record a gain on the forgiveness of these expenses upon completion of the deed backs of these hotels. These increases were slightly offset by a decrease in interest expense of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 due to decreased loan balances.

As described under “—Investing Activities—Dispositions,” no hotels were sold during either the first or second quarters of 2010 and three hotels were sold during 2009. In addition, we deconsolidated the Marriott Ontario Airport during the first quarter of 2010,2011, however we classified the Royal Palm Miami Beach as held for sale as of March 31, 2011, and reclassed the W San Diego and the Renaissance Westchester during 2009. Upon deconsolidation, we reclassified each hotel’s results of operations to discontinued operations due to our sale of this hotel in April 2011. In addition, pursuant to our 2009 secured debt restructuring program we reclassified the transferoperating results of possession and control of each hotel11 hotels to discontinued operations in 2010: W San Diego, which was transferred to a court-appointed receiver. On June 14, 2010, we reacquiredreceiver in September 2009 and deeded back to the lender in July 2010; Renaissance Westchester, for $26.0 million, including related costs. In connection with the repurchase of the Renaissance Westchester, the $29.2 million non-recourse mortgage securedwhich was transferred to a receiver in December 2009 and reacquired by the hotelCompany in June 2010; Marriott Ontario Airport, which was cancelled. We recordedtransferred to a $6.7 million gain onreceiver in March 2010 and sold by the extinguishmentreceiver in August 2010; and the Mass Mutual eight hotels, which were deeded back to the lender in November 2010. As a result of this debt, which is included inthese deed backs and title transfers, we have disposed of all assets and liabilities from our operations held for non-sale disposition segment. Accordingly, all assets, liabilities and the operations from our non-sale disposition segment have been reclassified to discontinued operations. Operating results for the Renaissance Westchester for 2009, therefore, are included in discontinued operations, whereas operating results from June 14, 2010 forward are included in our continuing operations. Consistent with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC, we have reclassified the results of operations for all 12 of these hotels along with any impairments recognized, the gains or losses on the hotel sales and the gain on extinguishment of the Renaissance Westchester debt, to discontinued operations.
Dividends paid on unvested restricted stock compensationDistributions to non-controlling interest. Common stock dividends earned on our unvested restricted stock awards were zero for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as comparedDistributions to zero and $0.4 million, respectively,non-controlling interest totaled $7,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.March 31, 2011, and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Preferred dividends earned by investors from the entity that owns the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, including related administrative fees totaled $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Preferred stock dividends and accretion.

Though the dividend rate for our Series A preferred stock and Series C preferred stock wasremained at $0.50 and $0.393, respectively, per share for both the first quarter of 2011 and second quarters2010, preferred stock dividends and accretion decreased in 2011 due to the fact that the initial carrying value of our Series C preferred stock was fully accreted to its redemption value during the third quarter of 2010.
Undistributed income allocated to unvested restricted stock compensation. In accordance with ASC 260-10, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. As such, undistributed income of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were allocated to the participating securities.

Investing Activities
Acquisitions. In lightWe believe we are currently in the early stages of a recovery phase of the recent cyclical downturn,lodging cycle. We further believe that hotels acquired now are likely to benefit from a multi-year recovery in hotel profitability, and are likely to create long-term value in excess of our investment hurdles. Therefore, we did not acquire any hotel properties during 2009. With better market clarity and in anticipationhave deployed a portion of an economic recovery, public REIT valuations improved significantlyour excess cash balance during the coursefirst quarter of 2009. While hotel sale transactions were relatively limited in number during 2009, the hotel sale transactions that have recently been consummated indicate that hotel trading values have not recovered commensurately with public REIT valuations. The pressure on single asset values is primarily caused by the significant amount of distressed CMBS debt associated with hotel assets. Consistent with our cycle-appropriate strategy, we shifted our focus at the end of 20092011 towards the pursuit of selective hotel acquisitions. These selective hotel acquisitions included: the outside 62% equity interests in our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture; the outside 50% equity interest in our BuyEfficient joint venture; and the purchase of the JW Marriott New Orleans. Each of these acquisitions is discussed below.
In January 2011, we purchased the outside 62% equity interests in our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture for $37.5 million, and, as a result, became the sole owner of the entity that owns the 460-room Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square located in New York City, New York. The hotel is encumbered by $270.0 million of non-recourse senior mortgage and mezzanine debt which matures in January 2012, and bears a blended interest rate of LIBOR plus 115 basis points. We expect to refinance this debt in 2011, and to fund any refinancing shortfall with existing cash. The hotel is encumbered by an additional $30.0 million mezzanine loan that is owned by the Company, and, therefore, eliminated in consolidation on our March 31, 2011 balance sheet. In conjunction with the purchase of the outside 62% equity interests in our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture, we recognized a gain of $30.1 million on the remeasurement of our equity interest in this joint venture to its fair market value, and a gain of $30.4 million on the remeasurement of our investment in the $30.0 million mezzanine loan, which we purchased in April 2010 for $3.45 million, to its fair market value.
In January 2011, we purchased the outside 50% equity interest in our BuyEfficient joint venture for a net purchase price of $8.6 million, including $0.4 million in cash distributed from the joint venture. As a result, we are now the sole owner of BuyEfficient. In conjunction with this purchase, we recognized a gain of $8.7 million on the remeasurement of our equity interest in this joint venture to its fair market value.
In February 2011, we purchased the 494-room JW Marriott New Orleans located in New Orleans, Louisiana for approximately $51.6 million in cash and the assumption of a $42.2 million floating-rate, non-recourse senior mortgage. The mortgage, which matures in September 2015, has been swapped to a fixed rate of 5.45%, and is subject to a 25-year amortization schedule.
In April 2011, we paid $180.9 million, excluding prorations and closing costs, to acquire a 75% majority interest in the joint venture that owns the 1,190-room Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel located in San Diego, California, which implied a gross value of approximately $475.0 million. Concurrent with the acquisition, the joint venture entered into a new $240.0 million mortgage financing secured by the hotel. The mortgage bears a floating rate of interest of LIBOR plus 325 basis points, and matures in 2016.
Our acquisitionsacquisition program is aimed at generating attractive risk-adjusted returns on our investment dollars, and therefore we may target lodging assets outside of the typical branded, urban, upper upscale profile represented by our existing portfolio in order to capitalize on opportunities which may arise, butarise. We intend to select the brands and operators for our hotels that we do not expect these atypical lodging assetsbelieve will lead to comprise a major component of our portfolio.the highest returns. Additionally, the scope of our acquisitions program may include large hotel portfolios or hotel loans.
On April 30, 2010, Future acquisitions may be funded by our issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including our common and preferred OP units, or by draws on our $150.0 million senior corporate credit facility entered into in November 2010. However, in light of our current balance sheet objectives, we purchased two hotel loansexpect to capitalize any near term acquisitions with a combined principal amountgreater proportion of $32.5 million plus accrued interest of approximately $800,000, for a total purchase price of $3.7 million. The loans include (i) a $30.0 million, 8.5% mezzanine loan maturing in January 2017 secured by the equity interests in our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture, and (ii) a $2.5 million, 8.075% subordinate note maturing in November 2010 secured by the 101-room boutique hotel known as Twelve Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Georgia. We purchased the mezzanine loan for $3.45 million and the subordinate note for $250,000. None of thecapital than debt on the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square is in default, however interest on the mezzanine loan is currently being deferred in accordance with the provisions of the loan. The subordinate note secured by the Twelve Atlantic Station is currently in default. We are accounting for both loans using the cost recovery method until such time as the expected cash flows from the loans are reasonably probable and estimable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received $56.3 million from the sale of hotel properties and other assets, which included $53.5 million from the sale of two hotels, a $2.0 million payment on a note receivable from the buyer of a hotel we sold in December 2008, $0.4 million$42,000 from the sale of surplus FF&E located in two of our hotels,furniture, fixtures and $0.4 million from the sales of two vacant parcels of land. In addition,equipment (“FF&E”). This cash inflow was offset as we increased the balance in our restricted cash replacement reserve accounts by $0.5$2.4 million, paid cash of $102.2 million to acquire hotel properties and other assets, and paid cash of $26.1$32.6 million for renovations and additions to our portfolio. The $102.2 million total cash paid for acquisitions during the first quarter of 2011 is comprised of the following: $37.5 million for the outside 62% equity interests in our Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square, partially offset by $13.0 million of
unrestricted cash acquired upon acquisition; $51.6 million for the JW Marriott New Orleans; $13.0 million deposit for the Hilton San Diego Bayfront which we purchased in April 2011; $5.0 million deposit for a potential hotel acquisition; and $9.0 million for the outside 50% equity interest in our BuyEfficient joint venture, partially offset by $0.9 million of unrestricted cash acquired upon acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we decreased the balance in our restricted cash replacement reserve accounts by $2.3 million, paid a refundable cash deposit of $4.0 million towards the potential acquisition of a hotel, and paid cash of $8.6 million for renovations to our hotels.
Financing activities. Our cash used in financing activities fluctuates primarily as a result of our issuance and repayment of notes payable, including the repurchase of Senior Notes, and the issuance and repurchase of other forms of capital, including preferred equity and common stock. Net cash used in financing activities was $124.7$8.9 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 compared to $46.2$7.9 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2009.March 31, 2010. Net cash used in financing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2010March 31, 2011 consisted primarily of $114.5$3.4 million of principal payments on our notes payable, $0.3 million in deferred financing costs paid related to our assumptions of debt on the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square and related costs, including $83.0 million paid to release three hotels from the Mass Mutual loan, $26.0 million paid to reacquire control of the Renaissance WestchesterJW Marriott New Orleans and to extinguish the loan,our line of credit, and $5.5 million of principal amortization. In addition, net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 includes $10.3$5.1 million of dividends paid to our stockholders. Net cash used in financing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2009March 31, 2010 consisted primarily of $117.4 million to repurchase a portion of our Senior Notes including related costs, $66.8$2.7 million of principal payments on our credit facility and notes payable, $17.6and $5.1 million of dividends paid to our stockholders, $4.8 million in costs associated with the issuance of our common stock, and $3.1 million in deferred financing fees paid in connection with amendments to our Senior Notes indenture and our credit facility. These cash outlays were partially offset by $103.5 million in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and $60.0 million in proceeds received from our credit facility.

Future. We expect our primary uses of cash to be for acquisitions of hotels, including possibly hotel portfolios, capital expenditures forin our hotels, operating expenses, repayment of principal on our notes payable and credit facility, interest expense and dividends. We expect our primary sources of cash will continue to be our operating activities, working capital, notes payable, sales of hotel properties, and proceeds from public and private offerings of debt securities and common and preferred stock. Our ability to incur additional debt depends on a number of factors, including our leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders under our existing notes payable, as well as other factors affecting the general willingness or ability of lenders to provide loans. Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities depends on, among other things, general market conditions for hotel companies and REITs and market perceptions about us. We will continue to analyze alternate sources of capital in an effort to minimize our capital costs and maximize our financial flexibility. However, when needed, the capital markets may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
We believe that our current cash balance, our cash flow from operations, our access to capital markets and our unencumbered properties will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our current operating expenses and other expenses directly associated with our business (including payment of dividends on our capital stock, if declared) for the foreseeable future, and in any event for at least the next 12 months.
Debt. In February 2010, we elected to terminateconnection with our credit facility, and we wrote off $1.5 million in related deferred financing costs. In view of our strong liquidity position and the restrictive termspurchase of the credit facility,outside 62% equity interests in our business plan did not anticipate accessing the facilityDoubletree Guest Suites Times Square, we assumed $270.0 million of non-recourse senior mortgage and mezzanine debt which matures in 2010. The terminationJanuary 2012, and bears a blended interest rate of the facility eliminates approximately $0.6 million in fees and associated costs per annum.LIBOR plus 115 basis points. We expect to enter into a new credit facility in the second half of 2010.
Consistent with our cycle-appropriate strategy, during 2009 we initiated a secured debt restructuring program aimed at addressing cash flow and value deficits among certain of our hotels securing non-recourse mortgage debt (the “2009 secured debt restructuring program”). We concluded the program in the fourth quarter of 2009, however we continue to work to finalize the deed back of certain hotels associated with loans which entered the program in 2009. Loans subject to our secured debt restructuring program generally met two criteria: (1) the hotel, or hotels as a group, was not generating sufficient cash flow to cover debt service, and under the current terms of the mortgage, the hotel was not expected to generate sufficient cash flow for the foreseeable future, and (2) the present value of the hotel, or hotels as a group, was significantly less than the principal amount of the applicable loan. The loans secured by such hotels, subject to customary exceptions, are non-recourse to us. The primary goal of the 2009 secured debt restructuring program was to amend the terms of mortgage debt to eliminate situations where hotel cash flow and asset values fell short of debt service and loan amounts respectively. In certain cases, however, where acceptable restructuring terms could not be reached, rather than employing corporate resources to subsidize debt service, we elected to deed back the collateral hotels in satisfaction of the associated debt. The status of the final four loans included in our 2009 secured debt restructuring program is discussed further below.
W San Diego. Effective September 30, 2009, possession and control of the 258-room W San Diego was transferred to a court-appointed receiver. In connection with this transfer, we deconsolidated this hotel and reclassified the assets and liabilities, including the $29.0 million hotel net asset and the hotel’s $65.0 million 6.14% non-recourse mortgage, to discontinued operations on our balance sheets. Additionally, we reclassified the W San Diego’s results of operations and cash flows to discontinued operations on our statements of operations and cash flows. On July 2, 2010, we completed our previously announced deed back of the W San Diego, and title to the hotel was transferred to the lender. We will record a gain on extinguishment of debt to discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2010, and the net assets and liabilities will be removed from our balance sheets.
Renaissance Westchester. Effective December 28, 2009, possession and control of the 347-room Renaissance Westchester was transferred to a court-appointed receiver. In connection with this transfer, we deconsolidated this hotel and reclassified the assets and liabilities, including the $25.2 million hotel net asset and the hotel’s $29.2 million 4.98% non-recourse mortgage, to discontinued operations on our balance sheets. Additionally, we reclassified the Renaissance Westchester’s results of operations and cash flows to discontinued operations on our statements of operations and cash flows. On June 14, 2010, we reacquired the Renaissance Westchester for $26.0 million, including related costs. In connection with the repurchase of the Renaissance Westchester, the $29.2 million non-recourse mortgage was cancelled. We recorded a $6.7 million gain on the extinguishment ofrefinance this debt which is included in discontinued operations. Operating results for the Renaissance Westchester for 2009, therefore, are included in discontinued operations, whereas operating results from June 14, 2010 forward are included in our continuing operations.
Marriott Ontario Airport. Effective March 1, 2010, possession2011, and control of the 299-room Marriott Ontario Airport was transferred to a court-appointed receiver. In connectionfund any refinancing shortfall with this transfer, we deconsolidated this hotel and reclassified the assets and liabilities, including the $16.3 million hotel net asset and the hotel’s $25.5 million 5.34% non-recourse
mortgage, to discontinued operations on our balance sheets. Additionally, we reclassified the Marriott Ontario Airport’s results of operations and cash flows to discontinued operations on our statements of operations and cash flows. Once title to the hotel is transferred, we will record a gain on extinguishment of debt, and the net assets and liabilities will be removed from our balance sheets.
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. In April 2010, we finalized an agreement with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, or Mass Mutual, the lender’s representative for a $246.0 million, 5.95% non-recourse mortgage loan secured by 11 of our hotels comprised of 2,587 rooms. As part of this agreement, we paid down $83.0 million of the Mass Mutual loan in exchange for the release of three hotels from the loan. The three hotels are the 179-room Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Airport, the 271-room Kahler Inn & Suites Rochester and the 203-room Marriott Rochester. In conjunction with this pay down, we wrote off $0.1 million in deferred financing fees. Also pursuant to this agreement, we expect to complete the deed back of the Mass Mutual eight hotels in satisfaction of the remaining $163.0 million loan balance during 2010. Pending the completion of the deed back or appointment of a receiver, we have reclassified the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Mass Mutual eight to “operations held for non-sale disposition” on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. Upon the completion of the deed back or appointment of a receiver, the assets and liabilities associated with the Mass Mutual eight will be deconsolidated.existing cash.
Our 2009 secured debt restructuring program, including our elections to initiate the process to deed back the W San Diego, Marriott Ontario Airport, and the Mass Mutual eight hotels were precipitated by a number of unique, market and hotel-specific factors, and were made after our efforts to amend the loans were unsuccessful. In the future, other factors may lead us to pursue similar options with certain of our other hotels securing non-recourse mortgages. We believe such cases, if any, would be limited in number. We were not in defaultpurchase of the loan covenants on any otherJW Marriott New Orleans included the assumption of our notes payable at June 30, 2010.a $42.2 million floating-rate, non-recourse senior mortgage. The mortgage, which matures in September 2015, has been swapped to a fixed rate of 5.45%, and is subject to a 25-year amortization schedule.
As of June 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we had $1.1$1.5 billion of debt, ($1.4 billion including the mortgages for the W San Diego, Marriott Ontario Airport and Mass Mutual eight hotels), $274.5$214.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and total assets of $2.4$2.8 billion. We believe that by controlling debt levels, staggering maturity dates and maintaining a highly flexible capital structure, we can maintain lower capital costs than more highly leveraged companies, or companies with limited flexibility due to restrictive corporate-level financial covenants.
As of June 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, all of our outstanding debt had fixed interest rates.rates, except the $270.0 million of non-recourse senior mortgage and mezzanine debt on the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square. The majority of our mortgage debt is in the form of single asset loans. We currently believe this structure is appropriate for the operating characteristics of our business and provides flexibility for assets to be sold subject to the existing debt, and as evidenced by our 2009 secured debt restructuring program, in instances where asset values have declined to levels below the principal amount of the associated mortgage, non-recourse single asset mortgages may limit the degradation in value experienced by our stockholders by shifting a portion of asset risk to our secured lenders.
TheAs of March 31, 2011, the weighted average term to maturity of our debt is 6.75.5 years, and the81.4% of our debt is fixed rate with a weighted average interest rate on our debt is 5.6%of 5.5%. Our first loan maturity, the $81.0$270.0 million non-recourse senior mortgage and mezzanine debt on the HiltonDoubletree Guest Suites Times Square, New York, is in December 2010. In light of improving secured debt markets and our desire to maintain flexibility in our level of indebtedness, we are currently evaluating opportunitiesJanuary 2012. We expect to refinance this loan at maturitydebt in December 2010, rather than use excess cash2011, and to repayfund any refinancing shortfall with existing cash.
Concurrent with our acquisition in April 2011 of a 75% majority interest in the loanjoint venture that owns the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, the joint venture entered into a new $240.0 million mortgage financing secured by the hotel. The mortgage bears a floating rate of interest of LIBOR plus 325 basis points, and matures in full.2016. Subsequent to this acquisition, 69.9% of our debt is subject to fixed interest rates.
Financial Covenants. We are subject to compliance with various covenants under the Series C preferred stock and the Senior Notes. With respect to our Series C preferred stock, if we fail to meet certain financial ratios for four consecutive quarters, a financial ratio violation will occur. During the continuation of a financial ratio violation, among other things, we would be restricted from paying dividends on our common stock, and may incur a 50 basis point per quarter dividend increase on the Series C preferred stock. Additionally, the Series C preferred stockholders would gain the right to appoint one board member. We do not currently expect to incur a financial ratio violation. Should operations deteriorate from current levels, however, we may fail to meet our financial ratios with respect to our Series C preferred stock for four consecutive quarters, which would cause us to incur a financial ratio violation.
With respect to our Senior Notes, if the maturity dates of more than $300.0 million of our indebtedness were to be accelerated as the result of uncured defaults, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes would have the right to declare the Senior Notes and any unpaid interest immediately due and payable. As of AugustMay 6, 2010,2011, none of the maturity dates have been accelerated for any of our indebtedness.
Additionally, we believe we may be successful in obtaining mortgages on or pledge to a secured facility, one or all of our 11 unencumbered hotels which are currently pledged to our credit facility at June 30, 2010:March 31, 2011: Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Airport, Fairmont Newport Beach, Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, Kahler Inn & Suites Rochester, Marriott Quincy, Marriott Portland, Marriott Rochester, Renaissance Los Angeles Airport, Renaissance Westchester, Residence Inn by Marriott Rochester and Sheraton Cerritos. These 11 hotels had an aggregate of 3,351 rooms as of June 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, and generated $79.3$36.8 million in revenue during the first six monthsquarter of 2010.
Table2011. Should we obtain secured financing on most or all of Contentsour 11 unencumbered hotels, we may be limited or precluded from accessing capital through our credit facility.
Cash Balance. During the recent economic downturn, we maintained higher than historical cash balances. By minimizing our need to access external capital by maintaining higher than typical cash balances, our financial security and flexibility were meaningfully enhanced. As we believe the lodging cycle may havehas now entered a recovery phase, we expect to deploy a portion of our excess cash balance in 20102011 towards selective acquisitions.acquisitions and capital investments in our portfolio. Our acquisition program is aimed at generating attractive risk-adjusted returns on our investment dollars, and therefore we may target lodging assets outside of the typical branded, urban, upper upscale profile represented by our existing portfolio in order to capitalize on opportunities which may arise, but we do not expect these atypical lodging assets to comprise a major component of our portfolio.arise. Additionally, the scope of our acquisitions program may include large hotel portfolios or hotel loans.

(2)Notes payable on hotel properties held in receivership currently includes the W San Diego and Marriott Ontario Airport. Due to our elective defaults on the non-recourse mortgages secured by the W San Diego and Marriott Ontario Airport, and the subsequent transfers of these two hotels to court-appointed receivers effective September 30, 2009 and March 1, 2010, respectively, we deconsolidated these hotels. As of June 30, 2010, the $65.0 million non-recourse mortgage for the W San Diego, along with the $25.5 million non-recourse mortgage for the Marriott Ontario Airport have been classified in their entirety as current obligations, and are included in “other current liabilities of discontinued operations, net” on our balance sheets.

Capital Expenditures and Reserve Funds
We believe we maintain each of our hotels in good repair and condition and in general conformity with applicable franchise and management agreements, ground and air leases, laws and regulations. Our capital expenditures primarily relate to the ongoing maintenance of our hotels and are budgeted in the reserve accounts described in the following paragraph. We also incur capital expenditures for renovation and development. We invested $17.1$32.6 million in our hotelsportfolio during the first sixthree months of 2010.2011. Our renovation budget for 20102011 includes $14.3$31.2 million of contractual construction commitments. If we acquire, renovate or develop additional hotels in the future, our capital expenditures will increase.
With respect to our hotels that are operated under management or franchise agreements with major national hotel brands and for all of our hotels subject to first mortgage liens, we are obligated to maintain a furniture, fixtures and equipment (“an FF&E”)&E reserve account for future planned and emergency-related capital expenditures at these hotels. The amount funded into each of these reserve accounts is determined pursuant to the management, franchise and loan agreements for each of the respective hotels, ranging between 4.0% and 5.0% of the respective hotel’s total annual revenue. As of June 30, 2010, $22.5March 31, 2011, $30.7 million was held in FF&E reserve accounts for future capital expenditures at the 3032 hotels. According to the respective loan agreements, the reserve funds are to be held by the lenders or managers in restricted cash accounts. We generally are not required to spend the entire amount in the FF&E reserve accounts each year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of our ownership interests in the W San Diego, Marriott Ontario Airport and in two joint ventures. For further discussion of the W San Diego, Marriott Ontario Airport and our two joint ventures and their effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, see Notes 4 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Seasonality and Volatility
As is typical of the lodging industry, we experience some seasonality in our business as indicated in the table below. Revenue for certain of our hotels is generally affected by seasonal business patterns (e.g., the first quarter is strong in Orlando, the second quarter is strong for the Mid-Atlantic business hotels, and the fourth quarter is strong for New York City). Quarterly revenue also may be adversely affected by renovations, our managers’ effectiveness in generating business and by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, terrorist attacks or alerts, public health concerns, airline strikes or reduced airline capacity, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel.

Inflation
Inflation may affect our expenses, including, without limitation, by increasing such costs as labor, food, taxes, property and casualty insurance and utilities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
· Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. We periodically review each property and any related goodwill for possible impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. We perform a Level 3 analysis of fair value, using a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of our properties taking into account each property’s
expected cash flow from operations, holding period and proceeds from the disposition of the property. The factors addressed in determining estimated proceeds from disposition include anticipated operating cash flow in the year of disposition and terminal capitalization rate. Our judgment is required in determining the discount rate applied to estimated cash flows, growth rate of the properties, operating income of the properties, the need for capital expenditures, as well as specific market and economic conditions.
We account for goodwill in accordance with the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC, which states that goodwill has an indefinite useful life that should not be amortized but should be reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired, as well as the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC for financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The review of any potential goodwill impairment requires estimates of fair value for our properties and other assets that have goodwill arising from unallocated acquisition costs. These estimates of fair value are prepared using Level 3 measurements.
·Acquisition related assets and liabilities. Accounting for the acquisition of a hotel property as a purchase transaction requires an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction at their respective estimated fair values. The most difficult estimations of individual fair values are those involving long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets. During the first quarter of 2011, we used all available information to make these fair value determinations, and engaged an independent valuation specialist to assist in the fair value determination of the long-lived assets acquired in our purchases of the outside 62% equity interests in the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square joint venture, the outside 50% equity interests in the BuyEfficient joint venture, and the JW Marriott New Orleans. Due to inherent subjectivity in determining the estimated fair value of long-lived assets, we believe that the recording of acquired assets and liabilities is a critical accounting policy.
· Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful life of our assets. The life of the assets is based on a number of assumptions, including the cost and timing of capital expenditures to maintain and refurbish our hotels, as well as specific market and economic conditions. Hotel properties and other completed real estate investments are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five to 35 years for buildings and improvements and three to 12 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. While management believes its estimates are reasonable, a change in the estimated lives could affect depreciation expense and net income or the gain or loss on the sale of any of our hotels. We have not changed the estimated useful lives of any of our assets during the periods discussed.
New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
In June 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement which amends GAAP to require more information about transfers of financial assets, eliminates the qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) concept, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. The FASB issued a second pronouncement in June 2009, which amends GAAP regarding certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This second pronouncement requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosures related to an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. Both of these pronouncements are effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of these two pronouncements did not materially impact the Company.
In January 2010, the FASB issued a pronouncement to further update the fair value measurement guidance to improve fair value measurement disclosures. This update requires new disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2, as well as activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and provides clarification to existing disclosures. This standard is effective for interim periods and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements as these disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of the guidance related to new disclosures and clarifications on January 1,in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Our adoption of the guidance related to disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements will occur duringin the first quarter of 2011. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this part of the pronouncement will materially impact the Company.
In February 2010, the FASB issued a pronouncement to amend the subsequent events guidance. The amendment states that SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This standard is effective immediately. The adoption of this pronouncementended March 31, 2011 did not materially impact the Company.have any effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
To the extent that we incur debt with variable interest rates, our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailingprevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. At June 30, 2010, noneWe have no derivative financial instruments held for trading purposes. We use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks.
Our interest payments on 81.4% of our outstanding debt was subject toare fixed in nature, which largely mitigates the effect of changes in interest rates on our cash interest payments. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase or decrease by 100 basis points, interest rates.expense would increase or decrease, respectively, our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.7 million in 2011.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our ChiefPrincipal Executive Officer (“CEO”PEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEOPEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During our fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
There have been no material changesThe following updates certain disclosures from risk factors asItem 1A. Risk Factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the periodyear ended December 31, 2009,2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2010.17, 2011, and should be read in conjunction with those risk factors.
Accounting for the acquisition of a hotel property as a purchase transaction requires an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction at their estimated fair values. Should the allocation be incorrect, our assets and liabilities may be overstated or understated, which may also affect depreciation expense on our statement of operations.
