The Combined Historical Summary is the responsibility of FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Combined Historical Summary based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Combined Historical Summary is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Combined Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Combined Historical Summary. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS FOR PRESENTATION The accompanying Combined Historical Summaries of Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses ("the Combined Historical Summaries") are comprised of the revenue and direct operating expenses of five hotel properties owned by FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (the "FelCor Properties") during the year ended December 31, 2002 and the six month period ended June 30, 2003 as follows: o Embassy Suites Hotel, East Syracuse, New York o Embassy Suites Hotel, Phoenix Airport, Arizona o Embassy Suites Hotel, Flagstaff, Arizona o Doubletree Guest Suites, Columbus, Ohio o Doubletree Guest Suites, Dayton, Ohio On October 8, 2003, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. acquired the FelCor Properties for approximately $50 million in cash. The Combined Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of assisting management of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. in complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Combined Historical Summaries exclude certain items not comparable to the proposed future operations of the FelCor Properties such as mortgage interest expense, depreciation expense, corporate expenses, and interest income. Consequently, the Combined Historical Summaries are not representative of the actual operations of the FelCor Properties for the periods presented nor is it necessarily indicative of future operations. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses -- Revenue is recognized as the related service is performed. Expenses are recognized when incurred. Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from telephone and in-house movie services. Indirect expenses primarily consist of general and administrative, sales and marketing, property operations, and energy expenses. Advertising and Promotion Costs -- Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Repairs and Maintenance Costs -- Repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the life of the property are expensed as incurred. Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the Combined Historical Summaries in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Combined Historical Summaries and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 6 FELCOR PROPERTIES NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARIES OF REVENUE AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES 3.
