1. Organization
Chatham Lodging Trust was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust on October 26,
2009 and intends to elect to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for U.S. federal
income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We are
internally-managed and were organized to invest primarily in premium-branded upscale extended-stay
and select-service hotels.
We completed our initial public offering (the IPO) on April 21, 2010. The IPO resulted in
the sale of 8,625,000 common shares at $20.00 price per share, generating $172.5 million in gross
proceeds. Net proceeds, after underwriters discounts and commissions and other offering costs,
were approximately $158.7 million. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, in a separate private
placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we sold 500,000 of
our common shares to Jeffrey H. Fisher, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, at the
public offering price of $20.00 per share, for proceeds of $10.0 million.
On February 8, 2011, we completed a public offering that resulted in the sale of 4,600,000
common shares at $16.00 per share, generating $73.6 million in gross proceeds. Net proceeds, after
underwriters discounts and commissions and other offering costs, were approximately $69.4 million.
We had no operations prior to the consummation of the IPO. Following the closing of the IPO,
we contributed the net proceeds from the IPO and the concurrent private placement, as well as the
proceeds of our February 2011 offering, to Chatham Lodging, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) in
exchange for partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets
are held by and all of our operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership. Chatham
Lodging Trust is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100% of the common
units of the limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Certain of our executive
officers hold unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership, which are
presented as noncontrolling interests on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
As of June 30, 2011, we owned 13 hotels with an aggregate of 1,650 rooms located in 9 states.
To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate the hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its
subsidiaries lease the hotels to wholly owned taxable REIT lessee subsidiaries (TRS Lessees).
Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments
equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel room
revenue. The initial term of each of the TRS leases is 5 years. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee
is eliminated in consolidation. Our TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third
party management companies that provide day-to-day management for our hotels. Island Hospitality
Management Inc. (IHM), which is 90% owned by Mr. Fisher, manages 5 hotels, Homewood Suites
Management LLC, a subsidiary of Hilton Worldwide Inc. (Hilton) manages 6 hotels and Concord
Hospitality Enterprises Company manages 2 hotels.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and in conformity with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim
financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of
equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of full year performance due to seasonal and other factors including the
timing of the acquisition of hotels.
The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and the
related notes thereto as of December 31, 2010, which are included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance
sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2010, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance to clarify that pro forma
disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior
annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting
period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be accompanied by a narrative
description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The new
accounting guidance is effective for business combinations consummated in periods beginning after
December 14, 2010, and should be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption. Early adoption
is permitted. We have adopted the new disclosures as of January 1, 2011.
4. Acquisition of Hotel Properties
Acquisition of Hotel Properties
No acquisitions were completed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company
incurred acquisition costs of $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011.
5. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level believed to be adequate to
absorb estimated probable losses. That estimate is based on past loss experience, current economic
and market conditions and other relevant factors.
6. Investment in Hotel Properties
Investment in hotel properties as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consisted of the

7. Investment in Joint Venture
On May 3, 2011, INK Acquisition LLC (the JV), a joint venture between Cerberus Capital
Management and Chatham Lodging, L.P., was selected as the winning bidder in a bankruptcy court
auction related to 64 of Innkeepers USA Trusts (the Sellers) hotels. The Company paid a $2.4
million deposit into escrow upon the JV being named the winning bidder. The deposit is included in
restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011. Under the terms of the winning
bid, subject to the terms and conditions of the bid, the JV will acquire the hotels for a total purchase price of approximately $1.125 billion,
including the assumption of approximately $725 million of mortgage debt secured by 45 of the
hotels, through a plan of reorganization. The Companys expected investment of $37 million will at closing represent less than a 10% interest in the JV and will be funded through available cash and borrowings under
its secured revolving credit facility.

8. Debt
Each of the Companys mortgage loans is secured by a first-mortgage lien on the underlying
property. The mortgages are non-recourse except for fraud or misapplication of funds. Mortgage debt
consisted of the following (in thousands):
Balance Outstanding as of | ||||||||||||||||
Interest | Maturity | June 30, | December 31, | |||||||||||||

$ | 12,174 | $ | 12,332 | |||||||||||||
The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash
flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. Rates take into consideration general market
conditions and maturity. The estimated fair value of the Companys debt in thousands as of June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010 was $12,373 and $12,574, respectively.
On October 12, 2010, the Company entered into a $85 million senior secured revolving credit
facility to fund future acquisition, redevelopment and expansion activities. At June 30, 2011, we
had no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility. At June 30, 2011, there were eleven
properties in the borrowing base under the credit agreement and the maximum borrowing availability
under the revolving credit facility was $84.3 million.
The Company amended its $85 million senior secured revolving credit facility effective May
2011. The amendment provides for an increase to the allowable consolidated leverage ratio to 60
percent through 2012, reducing to 55 percent in 2013; and a decrease to the consolidated fixed
charge coverage ratio from 2.3x to 1.7x through March 2012, increasing to 1.75x through December
2012 and 2.0x in 2013. Subject to certain conditions, the credit facility still has an accordion
feature that provides the Company with the ability to increase the facility to $110 million,
subject to lender approval. The Company paid $0.5 million in connection with this amendment.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.
Future scheduled principal payments of debt obligations as of June 30, 2011 are as follows (in

9. Income Taxes
The Companys TRS Lessees are subject to federal and state income taxes. The Companys TRS
Lessees are
structured under one of two TRS holding companies that are treated separately for income tax
purposes (TRS 1 and TRS 2, respectively). The consolidated income tax expense is solely
attributable to the taxable income of TRS 2. TRS 1 has future taxable income deductions of $0.3
million related to accumulated net operating losses from 2010 and 2011 and the gross deferred tax
asset associated with these future tax deductions is $0.1 million. TRS 1 has recorded a valuation
allowance equal to 100% of the gross deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the
benefit of this deferred asset due to the TRS Lessees limited operating history and the cumulative
taxable losses incurred by TRS 1 since its inception.

11. Shareholders Equity
Common Shares
The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest
(common shares), $.01 par value per share. Each outstanding common share entitles the holder to

million in gross proceeds. Net proceeds were approximately $69.4 million after underwriters
discounts and commissions and other offering costs paid to third parties. As of June 30, 2011,
13,819,939 common shares were outstanding.

beneficial interest for a repurchase price of $16.43 per share related to an executive surrendering
shares to pay taxes at the time restricted shares
vested. The price per share is determined by using the closing price of our shares the day before
they are surrendered.
Preferred Shares
The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 preferred shares, $.01 par value per
share.
Operating Partnership Units
When issued, holders of Operating Partnership common units will have certain redemption
rights, which will enable the unit holders to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their units
in exchange for, at the Companys option, cash per unit equal to the market price of the Companys
common shares at the time of redemption or for the Companys common shares on a one-for-one basis.
The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the
occurrence of share splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which
otherwise would have the
effect of diluting the ownership interests of our limited partners or our shareholders. As of
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no Operating Partnership common units held by
unaffiliated third parties. At June 30, 2011, an aggregate of 257,775 LTIP Units are held by
executive officers. The LTIP Units receive per unit distributions equal to the per share
distribution paid on common shares.
Net proceeds from the February 8, 2011 common share offering were contributed to the Operating
Partnership by the Company in exchange for 4,600,000 common units of the Operating Partnership.

13. Equity Incentive Plan
The Company maintains the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan to attract and retain independent
trustees, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. The plan provides for
the grant of options to purchase common shares, share awards, share appreciation rights,
performance units and other equity-based awards. Share awards under this plan generally vest over
three to five years, though the independent trustees share compensation includes shares granted
that vest immediately. The Company pays dividends on unvested shares and units. Certain awards may
provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. In January 2011, the Company
issued 12,104 common shares to its independent trustees as compensation for services performed in
2010. A portion of the Companys share-based compensation to the Companys trustees for the year
ended December 31, 2011 will be distributed on December 31, 2011 in the form of common shares. The
quantity of shares will be calculated based on the average closing prices for the Companys common
shares on the NYSE for the last ten trading days preceding the reporting date. The Company would
have distributed 9,529 common shares had the liability classified award been satisfied as of June
30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, there were 211,730 common shares available for issuance under the
2010 Equity Incentive Plan.
In
the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company separately
presented unvested stock-based compensation as a contra account to
shareholders equity. In connection with the preparation of its
financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2011, the
Company has presented the stock-based compensation
as an addition to additional
paid-in-capital when recognized as expense, in accordance with the
standards which apply to stock-based compensation, for all periods
presented. The Company concluded that the revision
to the amounts as of December 31, 2010 do not have a material impact
on any of its previously issued financial statements.
Restricted Share Awards
The Company measures compensation expense for restricted share awards based upon the fair
market value of its common shares at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expense
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company pays dividends on nonvested
restricted shares.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were $0.9 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted share awards. As of June 30,
2011, these costs were expected to be recognized over a weightedaverage period of approximately
1.9 years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized approximately
$0.2 and $0.3 million respectively, in expense related to the restricted share awards. This expense
is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Units
LTIP Units are a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership which may
be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the
Company. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, each LTIP Unit issued is deemed equivalent to an award of
one common share thereby reducing the availability for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis.
The Company does not receive a tax deduction for the value of any LTIP Units granted to employees.
LTIP Units, whether vested or not, receive the same per unit profit distributions as other
outstanding units of the Operating Partnership, which profit distribution will generally equal per
share dividends on the Companys common shares. Initially, LTIP Units have a capital account
balance of zero, and do not have full parity with common Operating Partnership units with respect
to liquidating distributions. The Operating Partnership will revalue its assets upon the occurrence
of certain specified events and any increase in valuation will be allocated first to the holders of
LTIP Units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of the
Operating Partnership unit holders. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP Units may be converted,
at any time, into an equal number of common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership (OP Units), which may be redeemed, at the option of the holder, for cash or at the
Companys option an equivalent number of the Companys common shares.
On April 21, 2010, the Companys Operating Partnership granted 246,960 LTIP Units to the
Companys executive officers pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, all of which are accounted for
in accordance with FASB Codification Topic (ASC) 718, Stock Compensation. On September 9, 2010,
the Companys Operating Partnership granted 26,250 LTIP units to the Companys new CFO and 15,435
LTIP units granted to the Companys former CFO were forfeited. These LTIP Units vest ratably over
a five-year period beginning on the date of grant.
The LTIP Units fair value was determined by using a discounted value approach. In determining
the discounted value of the LTIP Units, the Company considered the inherent uncertainty that the
LTIP Units would never reach parity with the other OP Units and thus have an economic value of zero
to the grantee. Additional factors considered in reaching the assumptions of uncertainty included
discounts for illiquidity; expectations for future dividends; limited or no operating history as of
the date of the grant; significant dependency on the efforts and services of our executive officers
and other key members of management to implement the Companys business plan; available acquisition
opportunities; and economic environment and conditions. The Company used an expected stabilized
dividend yield of 5.0% and a risk free interest rate of 2.33% based on a five-year U.S. Treasury
yield.
The Company recorded $0.2 and $0.4 million in compensation expense related to the LTIP Units
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, there was $3.0 million of
total unrecognized compensation cost related to LTIP Units. This cost is expected to be recognized
over approximately 3.9 years, which represents the weighted average remaining vesting period of the
LTIP Units. As of June 30, 2011, none of the LTIP Units have reached parity.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The nature of the operations of the hotels exposes the hotels, the Company and the Operating
Partnership to the risk of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business. The
Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Companys knowledge, is any
litigation threatened.

Table of Contents
Hotel Ground Rent
The Altoona hotel is subject to a ground lease with an expiration date of April 30, 2029 with
an extension option of up to 12 additional terms of five years each. Monthly payments are
determined by the quarterly average room occupancy of the hotel. Rent is equal to approximately
$7,000 per month when monthly occupancy is less than 85% and can increase up to approximately
$20,000 per month if occupancy is 100%, with minimum rent increased on an annual basis by two and
one-half percent (2.5%).
In connection with the New Rochelle hotel, there is an air rights lease and garage lease that
expire on December 1, 2104. The lease agreements with the City of New Rochelle cover the space
above the parking garage that is occupied by the hotel as well as 128 parking spaces in a parking
garage that is attached to the hotel. The annual base rent for the garage lease is the hotels
proportionate share of the citys adopted budget for the operations, management and maintenance of
the garage and established reserves fund for the cost of capital repairs.
The following is a schedule of the minimum future obligation payments required under the ground
leases (in thousands):

Hotel Acquisitions
On May 3, 2011, the JV, was selected as the winning bidder to purchase 64 hotels,
subject to the terms and conditions of the bid, from
Innkeepers USA Trust. The Companys expected investment of $37.0 million will at closing represent less than a 10%
interest in the JV.
On May 3, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase five hotels from affiliates
of Innkeepers Trust USA for $195 million. The Company closed the purchase of the five hotels on
July 14, 2011.
15. Related Party Transactions
Mr. Fisher owns 90% of IHM, a hotel management company. The Company has entered into hotel
management agreements with IHM to manage five of its hotels and on July 14, 2011, entered into
hotel management agreements with IHM for the management of the five hotels acquired from
Innkeepers. All but one of the 64 hotels acquired by the JV from Innkeepers will continue to be
managed by IHM. Management and accounting fees paid to IHM for the three and six months ended June
30, 2011 were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 $0.0 million.
16. Subsequent Events
As noted above, on May 3, 2011, the JV was selected as the winning bidder in a bankruptcy court
auction related to 64 hotels described above under Note 7, Investment in Joint Venture. The
Company paid a $2.4 million deposit into escrow upon the JV being named the winning bidder. The
deposit is included in restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011. Under
the terms of the winning bid, subject to the terms and conditions of the bid, the JV will acquire the hotels for a total purchase price of
approximately $1.125 billion, including the assumption of approximately $725 million of mortgage
debt secured by 45 of the hotels, through
a plan of reorganization. The Companys expected investment of $37.0 million will at closing represent a 10% interest in the JV and will be funded through available cash and borrowings under its secured
revolving credit facility.
Also, on May 3, 2011, the Company was selected as the winning bidder in a bankruptcy court
auction related to five additional hotels owned by affiliates of the Sellers. The Company has
executed a purchase agreement with the Sellers to acquire the five hotels, (the five sisters)
comprising 764 rooms in the aggregate, for $195 million:

The five-hotel acquisition was funded through the assumption of five individual loans
aggregating $134.2 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6 percent and with maturity
dates in 2016 with the remainder funded from available cash and borrowings under the Companys
secured revolving credit facility. The five loans will amortize based on a 30-year amortization
period, other than the loan related to the hotel in Garden Grove which will be interest only for
the first two years after closing. The Company closed on the acquisition of the five sisters on
July 14, 2011.
All of the 5 hotels acquired by the Company from the Sellers
will continue to be managed by IHM, a hotel management company 90 percent-owned by Jeff Fisher.
The
Company borrowed $57.0 million under the senior secured credit
facility on July 15, 2011 to partially fund the acquisition of the 5
sister hotels.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The following information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements
include information about possible or assumed future results of the lodging industry, our business,
financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, cash flow and plans and objectives. These
statements generally are characterized by the use of the words believe, expect, anticipate,
estimate, plan, continue, intend, should, may or similar expressions. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon
reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following:
the local, national and global economic conditions, increased direct competition, changes in
government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate
conditions, declines in lodging industry fundamentals, seasonality of the lodging industry, our
ability to obtain debt and equity financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, our
ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments and
inaccuracies of our accounting estimates. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be
placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or
circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements
should be read in light of the risk factors identified in the Risk Factors section in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as updated elsewhere in
this report.
Overview
We are a self-advised hotel investment company organized in October 2009. Our investment
strategy is to invest in premium-branded upscale extended-stay and select-service hotels in
geographically diverse markets with high barriers to entry near strong demand generators. We may
acquire portfolios of hotels or single hotels. We expect that a significant portion of our
portfolio will consist of hotels in the upscale extended-stay or select-service categories,
including brands such as Homewood Suites by Hilton®, Residence Inn by
Marriott®, Summerfield Suites by Hyatt®, Courtyard by Marriott®,
Hampton Inn® and Hampton Inn and Suites®.
We focus on premium-branded, select-service hotels in high growth markets with high barriers
to entry concentrated primarily in the 25 largest metropolitan markets in the United States. We
believe the opportunities to acquire our target hotels are very attractive based on the belief that
we are in the early stages of a lodging recovery.
In February 2011, we completed a $73.6 million follow-on common share equity offering, adding
capital to our balance sheet. With these funds we had available for investment as well as
borrowing capacity, we have acquired 5 hotels for $195 million.
Our long-term goal is to maintain our leverage at a ratio of net debt to investment in hotels
(at cost) at less than 35 percent. However, at this early stage of the lodging cycle recovery, we
may temporarily increase our leverage to take advantage of available opportunities. In the 2011
second quarter, our Board of Trustees approved the increase in our targeted leverage to not more
than 55 percent, excluding our pro rata share of assets and liabilities of the JV.
Future growth through acquisitions will be funded by both issuances of common and preferred
shares, draw-downs under our credit facility, as well as the incurrence or assumption of
individually secured hotel debt.
We believe 2011 and beyond will offer attractive growth for the industry and for Chatham. We
intend to acquire quality assets at attractive prices, improve their returns through knowledgeable
asset management and seasoned, proven hotel management while remaining prudently leveraged.
We intend to elect to qualify for treatment as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for
federal income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the Code), we cannot operate our hotels. Therefore, our operating partnership,
Chatham Lodging, L.P. (the Operating Partnership), and its subsidiaries lease our hotel
properties to taxable REIT lessee subsidiaries (TRS Lessees), who will in turn engage eligible
independent contractors to manage the hotels. Each of these lessees will be treated as a taxable
REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes and will be evaluated for consolidation within our
financial statements for accounting purposes. However, since we control both the Operating Partnership and the TRS Lessees, our principal source of funds on a
consolidated basis is from the
15
Table of Contents
operations of our hotels. The earnings of the TRS Lessees are
subject to taxation as regular C corporations, as defined in the Code, potentially reducing the TRS
Lessees cash available to pay dividends to us, and therefore our funds from operations and the
cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
Financial Condition and Operating Performance Metrics
We measure financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating financial metrics
such as:
| Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), | ||
| Average Daily Rate (ADR), | ||
| Occupancy percentage, | ||
| Funds From Operations (FFO), | ||
| Adjusted FFO, | ||
| Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), and | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA. |
We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to
determine each hotels contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases
in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value
of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to
evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is calculated as total room revenue divided by total number
of available rooms and is a metric for monitoring hotel operating performance.
Please refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a detailed discussion of our use of FFO,
Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA to net income or loss, a GAAP measurement.
Results of Operations
Industry outlook
We believe that the hotel industrys performance is correlated to the performance of the
economy overall, and with key economic indicators such as GDP growth, employment trends and
corporate profits improving, we expect continuing improvement in the performance of the hotel
industry. As reported by Smith Travel Research, after 19 consecutive months of declining year over
year RevPAR, monthly industry RevPAR has been higher year over year since March 2010.
While the U.S. hotel industry has shown improvement since the time of our IPO and we are
encouraged by these improvements, industry operating performance remains significantly below peak
pre-2008 levels. Hotel industry operating performance historically has correlated with U.S. GDP
growth, and a number of economists and government agencies currently predict that the U.S. economy
will grow over the next several years. We believe that U.S. GDP growth, coupled with limited supply
of new hotels, will lead to increases in lodging industry RevPAR and hotel operating profits.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 (2011) to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
(2010)
Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 include the operating
activities of the 13 hotels owned at June 30, 2011 and are not indicative of the results we expect
when our investment strategy has been fully executed. We owned 6 hotels at June 30, 2010 for 69
days during the quarter. The Company completed its initial public offering on April 21, 2010.
As reported by Smith Travel Research, industry RevPar for the three months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010 was up 8.1% and up 6.2% respectively. RevPar at our hotels was up 3.3% and 4.5% in 2011
and 2010, which includes periods prior to our ownership for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
In addition, five of our 13 hotels were undergoing significant renovations in 2011.
Revenues
Total revenue was $14.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to total revenue
of $4.7 million for the 2010 period. Since all of our hotels are select service or limited service
hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and
beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue was $14.5 and $4.5 million for
the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Since room revenue is the primary component of total revenue, our revenue results are
dependent on maintaining and improving hotel occupancy, ADR and RevPAR at our hotels. Occupancy,
ADR, and RevPAR results are presented in the
16
Table of Contents
following table in each period to reflect operation of
the hotels from the date of acquisition of the hotels:
For the three months ended | 69 Days Ended | |||||||
June 30, 2011 | June 30, 2010 | |||||||
Portfolio |
||||||||
ADR |
$ | 115.97 | $ | 103.55 | ||||
Occupancy |
83.2 | % | 78.2 | % | ||||
RevPar |
$ | 96.49 | $ | 81.00 |
Other operating revenue, comprised of meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other
ancillary amenities revenue, was $0.4 and $0.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and
2010. The overall increase is due primarily to the 2010 acquisition properties resulting in 13
hotels owned for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to owning the six initial
acquisition hotels owned for only 69 days in 2010.
Hotel Operating Expenses
Hotel operating expenses increased $5.6 million from $2.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30 2011. As a percentage of
total revenue, hotel operating expenses were 56% for 2011 and 57% for 2010, which decrease is
expected as ADR grows year over year. Room expenses, which are the most significant component of
hotel operating expenses, increased $2.1 million from $1.1 million in 2010 to $3.2 million in 2011.
Other direct expenses, which include management and franchise fees, insurance, utilities, repairs
and maintenance, advertising and sales, and hotel general and administrative expenses increased
$3.5 million from $1.6 million in 2010 to $5.1 million in 2011. The overall increase is due
primarily to the fact that the Company owned the 13 hotels during the quarter ended June 20, 2011
compared to 69 days of ownership of the six initial acquisition hotels in 2010.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.4 million from $0.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase
is due to the increased number of hotels during the 2011 period and the disposition and replacement
of furniture and fixtures at five hotels where major property improvement plans were completed
during the quarter. Depreciation is recorded on our hotel buildings over 40 years from the date of
acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally three to
ten years between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment
will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded over the term of the respective
franchise agreement.
Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes
Total property tax and insurance expenses increased $0.9 million from $0.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase
is due primarily to the increased number of hotels owned during the 2011 period.
Corporate General and Administrative
Corporate general and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs,
including base payroll and amortization of restricted stock and awards of long-term incentive plan
(LTIP) units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and
trustees fees. Total corporate general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of
unearned compensation of $0.4 and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and for the
three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively) increased $0.4 million to $1.2 million in 2011 from
$0.8 million in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the fact the 2010 second quarter comprised
only 69 days while the 2011 second quarter comprised 91 days.
Hotel Property Acquisition Costs
Hotel property acquisition costs increased $0.4 million from $1.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. These expenses relate
to the acquisition of hotels formerly owned
by Innkeepers USA Trust (Innkeepers) described in Note 16, Subsequent Events, in the notes
to our financial statements above. These acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred.

Interest and Other Income
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $32,000 from $38,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 to $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was
due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $83.7 million from $98.7 million at June 30,
2010 to $15.0 million at June 30, 2011. We had not fully invested the cash from its IPO in the
2010 period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.6 million from $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010 to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to interest cost on two loans we
assumed in the third quarter of 2010, unused commitment fees on our senior secured revolving credit
facility originated in the third quarter of 2010 and amortization of deferred financing fees of
$0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 relating to the two loans and the credit
facility. There were no loans outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased $35,000 from $47,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to
$12,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. We are subject to income taxes based on the
taxable income of our TRS holding companies at a tax rate of approximately 40%.
Net loss applicable to Common Shareholders
Net loss applicable to common shareholders increased
$1.3 million from a loss of $0.6 million,
or ($0.09) per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to a loss of $1.9 million, or
($0.14) per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was due to the
factors discussed above.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 (2011) to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
(2010)
Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 include the operating activities
of the 13 hotels owned at June 30, 2011 and are not indicative of the results we expect when our
investment strategy has been fully executed. We owned 6 hotels at June 30, 2010 for 69 days during
the year. The Company completed its initial public offering on April 21, 2010.
As reported by Smith Travel Research, industry RevPar for the six months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010 was up 8.5% and up 2.3% respectively. RevPar at our hotels was up 0.9% and 2.5% in 2011
and 2010, which includes periods prior to our ownership for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
In addition five of our 13 hotels were undergoing significant renovations in 2011.
Revenues
Total revenue was $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to total
revenue of $4.7 million for the 2010 period. Since all of our hotels are select service or limited
service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant
food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue was $26.6 and $4.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Since room revenue is the primary component of total revenue, our revenue results are
dependent on maintaining and improving occupancy, ADR and RevPAR at our hotels. Occupancy, ADR, and
RevPAR results are presented in the following table in each period to reflect operations of the
hotels form the date of our acquisition of the hotels:
For the six months ended | 69 Days Ended | |||||||
June 30, 2011 | June 30, 2010 | |||||||
Portfolio |
||||||||
ADR |
$ | 115.27 | $ | 103.55 | ||||
Occupancy |
77.3 | % | 78.2 | % | ||||
RevPar |
$ | 89.16 | $ | 81.00 |
Other operating revenue, comprised of meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other
ancillary amenities revenue, was $0.8 and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and
2010. The overall increase is due primarily to the 2010 acquisition properties resulting in 13
hotels owned for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six initial acquisition
hotels owned for only 69 days in 2010.

Hotel Operating Expenses
Hotel operating expenses increased $13.5 million from $2.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of
total revenue, hotel operating expenses were 59% for 2011 and 57% for 2010. Room expenses, which
are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, increased $5.1 million from $1.1
million in 2010 to $6.2 million in 2011. Other direct expenses, which include management and
franchise fees, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, advertising and sales, and hotel
general and administrative expenses increased $8.4 million from $1.6 million in 2010 to $10.0
million in 2011. The overall increase is due primarily to the fact that the Company owned 13
hotels during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 69 days of ownership of the six
initial acquisition hotels in the 2010 period.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.8 million from $0.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase is
due to the increased number of hotels owned during the 2011 period and the disposition and
replacement of furniture and fixtures at five hotels where major property improvement plans were
completed during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Depreciation is recorded on our hotel
buildings over 40 years from the date of acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture,
fixtures and equipment are generally three to ten years between the date of acquisition and the
date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is
recorded over the term of the respective franchise agreement.
Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes
Total property tax and insurance expenses increased $1.9 million from $0.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase is
due primarily to increased number of hotels owned during the 2011 period.
Corporate General and Administrative
Corporate general and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs,
including base payroll and amortization of restricted stock and awards of long-term incentive plan
(LTIP) units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and
trustees fees. Total corporate general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of
unearned compensation of $0.8 and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the
six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively) increased
$1.3 million to $2.1 million in 2011 from
$0.8 million in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the fact the 2010 period comprised only 69
days while the 2011 period comprised 181 days.
Hotel Property Acquisition Costs
Hotel property acquisition costs increased $0.5 million from $1.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. These expenses relate
to the acquisition of hotels formerly owned by Innkeepers USA Trust (Innkeepers) described in
Note 16, Subsequent Events, in the notes to our financial statements above. These
acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred in accordance with GAAP.
Interest and Other Income
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents deceased $26,000 from $38,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 to $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was due to
the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $83.7 million in 2011 from $98.7 million at June 30,
2010 to $15.0 million at June 30, 2011. The Company had not fully invested the cash from its IPO
in the 2010 period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $1.4 million from $0.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to
$1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to interest cost on two loans we assumed in
the third quarter of 2010, interest on our senior secured revolving credit facility originated in
the third quarter of 2010 related to weighted average borrowings of $8.6 million at 4.5%, unused
commitment fees of 50 basis points on the unused portion of our credit facility and amortization of
deferred financing fees of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 relating to the two
loans and the credit facility.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased $33,000 in 2011 from $47,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2010 to $14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We are subject to income taxes based on the
taxable income of our TRS holding companies at a tax rate of approximately 40%.
Net loss applicable to Common Shareholders
Net loss applicable to common shareholders increased $1.4 million in 2011 from a loss of $0.6
million, or $0.18 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to a loss of $2.0
million, or $0.15 per diluted share for the six months
19
Table of Contents
ended June 30, 2011. This increase was due
to the factors discussed above.
Material Trends or Uncertainties
We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may
be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either the capital resources or the revenues
or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted
investments, other than those referred to in the risk factors identified in the Risk Factors
section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the
SEC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental
measures of our operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, and (4) Adjusted
EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures could be considered along with, but not as alternatives
to, net income or loss as a measure of our operating performance prescribed by GAAP.
FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating
activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash
flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted
FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are FFO, Adjusted FFO,
EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our
ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for
long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for managements discretionary use due
to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and
other commitments and uncertainties.
We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, items classified by
GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation
and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides
useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it measures our
performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and
amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that 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, and that by excluding the effects of the items, FFO is useful to investors
in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the
NAREIT definition.
We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREITs definition of FFO,
including hotel property acquisition costs. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with
another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods
and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.
The following is a reconciliation of net loss to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except share data):

We calculate EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision
for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; and (3) depreciation and
amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance
because it helps investors compare our operating performance between periods and between REITs by
removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily
depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, we use EBITDA as one
measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.
We further adjust EBITDA for certain additional items, including hotel property acquisition
costs and amortization of non-cash share-based compensation which we believe are not indicative of
the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides
investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance
between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

Although we present FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they
are useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs
that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these
limitations are:
| FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; | ||
| FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; | ||
| FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions; | ||
| EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; | ||
| Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; | ||
| Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period using Adjusted EBITDA; | ||
| Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters we consider not to be indicative of the underlying performance of our hotel properties; and | ||
| other companies in our industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. |
In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated
from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net
income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by
GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity. Because of
these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We
compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted
FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. Our consolidated financial statements and the
notes to those
21
Table of Contents
statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of cash include net cash from operations and proceeds from debt and
equity issuances. Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating
costs, corporate expenditures, interest and debt repayments and distributions to equity holders.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$15.0 and $4.7 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company had $85.0 million available under
the senior secured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2011. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, we
borrowed $57 million under the credit facility to fund a portion of the purchase of the five sister
hotels.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash flows provided by operations were $3.6
million, as our net loss of $1.9 million was due in significant part to non-cash expenses,
including $5.9 million of depreciation and amortization and $0.7 million of share-based
compensation expense. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities due to the timing of
cash receipts and payments from our hotels resulted in net cash outflow of $1.1 million. Net cash
flows used in investing activities were $20.2 million, which represents additional capital
improvements to the thirteen hotels of $7.6 million and $12.6 million of funds placed into escrows
for future acquisitions and lender or manager required escrows. Net cash flows provided by
financing activities were $26.8 million, comprised primarily of proceeds generated from the
February common share offering, net of underwriting fees and offering costs paid or payable to
third parties, of $69.4 million, offset by net repayments on our secured credit facility of $37.8
million, payment of mortgages of $0.1 million, payment of financing costs associated with our
amended line of credit of $0.6 million and distributions to shareholders of $4.1 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash flows provided by operations were $662,000,
as our net loss of $642,000 was due in significant part to non-cash expenses, including $402,000 of
depreciation and amortization and $224,000 of share-based compensation expense. In addition,
changes in operating assets and liabilities due to the timing of cash receipts and payments from
our hotels resulted in net cash inflow of $678,000. Net cash flows used in investing activities
were $76.0 million, which represents acquisition of the six initial hotels of $73.5 million and
$2.5 million of funds placed into escrows for future hotel acquisitions. Net cash flows provided by
financing activities were $174.0 million, comprised primarily of proceeds generated from the
initial public offering, net of underwriting fees and offering costs paid or payable to third
parties, of $174.0 million.
We have paid regular quarterly dividends and distributions on common shares and LTIP units
since the third quarter of 2010. Dividends and distributions for each of the first and second
quarters of 2011 were $0.175 per common share and LTIP unit. On July 15, 2011, we paid an
aggregate of $2.5 million in second quarter dividends on our common shares and distributions on our
LTIP units. We intend to use available cash and borrowings under our revolving secured line of
credit to fund the cash requirements related to our pending hotel acquisition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We intend to maintain our leverage over the long term at a ratio of net debt to investment in
hotels (at cost) (defined as our initial acquisition price plus the gross amount of any subsequent
capital investment and excluding any impairment charges) to less than 35 percent measured at the
time we incur debt, and a subsequent decrease in hotel property values will not necessarily cause
us to repay debt to comply with this limitation. Our board of trustees may modify or eliminate this
policy at any time without the approval of our shareholders. In the 2011 second quarter, our Board
of Trustees approved the temporary increase in our targeted leverage to not more than 55 percent,
not including our share of assets and liabilities of the JV. Our Board of Trustees believes that
temporarily increasing our leverage limit at this stage of the lodging cycle recovery is prudent to
take advantage of the opportunity to buy hotels in the near term.
On October 12, 2010, we entered into a $85 million senior secured revolving credit facility to
fund future acquisition, redevelopment and expansion activities. At June 30, 2011, we had no
outstanding borrowings under this credit facility. At June 30, 2011, there were eleven properties
in the borrowing base under the credit agreement and the maximum borrowing availability under the
revolving credit facility was $84.3 million. Subsequent to
June 30, 2011, we borrowed $57 million
under the credit facility to fund a portion of the purchase of the five sister hotels.
The credit agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions
customary for transactions of this type, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio and minimum net worth financial covenants, limitations on (i) liens, (ii) incurrence
of debt, (iii) investments, (iv) distributions, and (v) mergers and asset dispositions, covenants
to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws, covenants on the use of proceeds of the
credit facility and default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of
representations and warranties,
22
Table of Contents
insolvency, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults and
guarantor defaults. The two mortgage loans we assumed contain financial covenants concerning the
maintenance of a minimum debt service coverage ratio. The loan encumbering the Altoona Courtyard
hotel requires a minimum ratio of 1.5x and our ratio is 2.0x. The loan encumbering the Washington
SpringHill Suites hotel requires a minimum ratio of 1.65x and our ratio is 2.4x. We were in
compliance with these financial covenants at June 30, 2011.
We amended our $85 million senior secured revolving credit facility effective May 2011. The
amendment provides for an increase in the allowable consolidated leverage ratio to 60 percent
through 2012, reducing to 55 percent in 2013; and a decrease in the consolidated fixed charge
coverage ratio from 2.3x to 1.7x through March 2012, increasing to 1.75x through December 2012 and
2.0x in 2013. Subject to certain conditions, the line of credit still has an accordion feature
that provides the Company with the ability to increase the facility to $110 million.
On February 8, 2011, we completed a public offering of 4.6 million common shares, raising net
proceeds of $69.4 million. We used $42.8 million to pay down debt outstanding on the revolving
credit facility. We used the remaining funds to fund a portion of our acquisition of the five
sister hotels under Note 16, Subsequent Events, in the notes to our financial statements above.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by
operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under our credit
facility. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund operating
obligations, pay interest on any borrowings and fund dividends in accordance with the requirements
for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements,
such as hotel property acquisitions and debt maturities or repayments through additional long-term
secured and unsecured borrowings and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities.
We intend to continue to invest in hotel properties only as suitable opportunities arise. In
the near-term, we intend to fund future investments in properties with the net proceeds of
offerings of our securities. Longer term, we intend to finance our investments with the net
proceeds from additional issuances of common and preferred shares, issuances of units of limited
partnership interest in our operating partnership or other securities or borrowings. The success of
our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital through
issuances of equity securities and borrowings. There can be no assurance that we will continue to
make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to
dispose of certain hotels that do not meet out long-term investment objectives as a means to
provide liquidity.
Dividend Policy
Our current policy on common dividends is generally to distribute, annually, 100% of our
annual taxable income. The amount of any dividends will be determined by our Board of Trustees. On
May 25, 2011, our Board of Trustees declared a dividend of $0.175 per common share and LTIP unit.
The dividends to our common shareholders and the distributions to our LTIP unit holders were paid
on July 15, 2011 to holders of record as of June 30, 2011.
Capital Expenditures
We intend to maintain each hotel property in good repair and condition and in conformity with
applicable laws and regulations in accordance with the franchisors standards and any agreed-upon
requirements in our management and loan agreements. After we have acquired a hotel property, in
certain instances, we may be required to complete a property improvement plan (PIP) in order to
be granted a new franchise license for that particular hotel property. PIPs are intended to bring
the hotel property up to the franchisors standards. Certain of our loans require that we make
available for such purposes, at the hotels collateralizing these loans, amounts up to 5% of gross
revenue from such hotels. We intend to cause the expenditure of amounts in excess of such obligated
amounts, if necessary, to comply with any reasonable requirements and otherwise to the extent that
we deem such expenditures to be in the best interests of the hotel. To the extent that we spend
more on capital expenditures than is available from our operations, which is the case with respect
to the PIPs we are required to complete during 2011, we intend to fund those capital expenditures
with available cash and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we invested approximately $2.4 and $7.3
million, respectively, on capital investments in our hotels. We expect to invest approximately $13
million on capital improvements in 2011 on our 13 existing hotels owned at June 30, 2011, and $1.0
million on capital improvements on the five wholly owned hotels acquired from Innkeepers.
Contractual Obligations
The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2011, and the effect
these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in
thousands). We had no other material off-balance sheet

In addition, we pay management fees to our hotel management companies based on the revenues of
our hotels.
On January 31, 2011, we entered into a contract to purchase a hotel located in the greater
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area for a total purchase price of approximately $24.9 million, which
includes the assumption of approximately $7.3 million in existing mortgage debt secured by the
property. The acquisition of this hotel is subject to customary closing requirements and
conditions. The Company signed an agreement on June 22, 2011 to amend the closing date for the
Pittsburgh hotel acquisition extending the closing date to September 30, 2011 with the ability to
extend the date to October 31, 2011. The extension was required to accommodate the loan assumption
process. The Company can give no assurance that the transaction will be completed within the
expected time frame or at all.
On May 3, 2011, a joint venture between Cerberus Capital Management and Chatham Lodging LP,
INK Acquisition, LLC was selected as the winning bidder to purchase 64 hotels,
subject to the terms and conditions of the bid, from Innkeepers USA
Trust. The Companys expected investment of
$37.0 million will at closing represent less than a 10% interest in the JV and will be funded through
borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
On May 3, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase five hotels from affiliates
of Innkeepers Trust USA for $195 million. The Company completed the acquisition of the five hotels
on July 14, 2011. The acquisition was funded with available cash, borrowings under the revolving
credit facility and assumption of existing mortgage debt on the hotels.
Inflation
Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the
effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management
companies to raise room rates.
Seasonality
Demand for our hotels is affected by recurring seasonal patterns. Generally, we expect that we
will have lower revenue, operating income and cash flow in the first and fourth quarters and higher
revenue, operating income and cash flow in the second and third quarters. These general trends are,
however, influenced by overall economic cycles and the geographic locations of the hotels we
acquire.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be
materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use
of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these
estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting
policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2010, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance to clarify that pro forma
disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior
annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting
period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be

accompanied by a narrative
description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The new
accounting guidance is effective for business combinations consummated in periods beginning after
December 14, 2010, and should be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption. Early adoption
is permitted. We have adopted the new disclosures as of January 1, 2011.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our assumption of
long-term debt in connection with our acquisitions. Our interest rate risk management objectives
are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall
borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable
rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable
rates to fixed rates. With respect to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate risk
by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected
future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.
At June 30, 2011, our consolidated debt was comprised only of fixed interest rate debt. The
fair value of our fixed rate debt indicates the estimated principal amount of debt having the same
debt service requirements that could have been borrowed at the date presented, at then current
market interest rates. The following table provides information about our financial instruments
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (in thousands):
