Our business faces many risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, our ability to make cash distributions to our shareholders could be impaired, and the trading price of our common shares could decline. You should know that many of the risks described may apply to more than just the subsection in which we grouped them for the purpose of this presentation.

The lodging industry is highly cyclical in nature, and we cannot assure you if or how long the growth period of the current lodging cycle will last.

We may not be able to successfully grow our business or generate sufficient operating cash flows to sustain or increase distributions to our shareholders.

Because our officers have broad discretion to invest our available cash and the proceeds of financing transactions, they may make investments where the returns are substantially below expectations or which result in net operating losses.

Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
