Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2005

(Unaudited, Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except per Share Data)

     The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 presents acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions that occurred after March 31, 2005, as if such acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions and the incurrence of any acquisition-related indebtedness occurred on January 1, 2005 and includes the following on a pro forma basis:

    the acquisition of:

  -   the McIntosh Portfolio
 
  -   the Brookline Courtyard by Marriott in Brookline, Massachusetts

    the issuance of an aggregate of $51.5 million of notes payable related to trust preferred securities in May 2005;

Also included in this pro forma consolidated statement are the planned

    sale of the Series A Preferred Shares; and
 
    the acquisition of Hersha’s interest in the Mystic Partners joint venture with Waterford.

The Hampton Inn, Herald Square in New York, New York was acquired as an asset acquisition and, as such, had no historical results at the time of acquisition. The disposition of the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Long Island City, New York and the Doubletree Club Hotel in Jamaica, New York were accounted for as discontinued operations. Accordingly, no activity is included in Hersha’s consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations. These transactions have no impact on the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations and have been excluded.

     This pro forma consolidated statement should be read in conjunction with Hersha’s financial statements and related notes in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed in connection with certain of our recent acquisitions and joint ventures, including amendments to Current Reports on Form 8-K/A. In management’s opinion, adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions noted above have been made based on management’s best estimates.

     The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations is not necessarily indicative of what actual results of Hersha would have been assuming such acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions had been completed on January 1, 2005, nor is it indicative of the results of operations for future periods.

HERSHA HOSPITALITY TRUST

Notes and Management’s Assumptions to the
Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

(Unaudited, Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except per Share Data)

(A)   Represents Hersha’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as filed on Form 10-Q, excluding discontinued operations.
 
(B)   Represents the following acquisitions and finance transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005:

    the acquisition of:

  -   the McIntosh Portfolio,
 
  -   the Brookline Courtyard by Marriott in Brookline, Massachusetts

    the issuance of notes payable related to Trust preferred securities;

    The following table indicates the amounts relevant to acquisition, disposition and financing transactions:

Total Revenue
  $ 3,821     $     $ 3,821

Loss from Continuing Operations
  $ (1,033 )   $ (384 )   $ (1,417 )
 
                 

    Adjustments were made to the historical results of the acquisitions to reflect an increase in depreciation and amortization expense over amounts recorded in historical financial statements of $24, which is recorded in operating expense. Adjustments were also made to reflect interest expense in excess of amounts recorded in historical financial statements of $650 to reflect the additional debt incurred by Hersha related to the acquisitions, which is recorded in interest expense.
 
    Two $25,774 notes payable related to trust preferred securities bearing interest at rates of 7.14% and 7.34% were issued and were used to fund acquisitions and reduce Hersha’s line of credit balance. An adjustment to record interest expense for the two notes, net of interest recorded on the line of credit balance was recorded in interest expense in the amount of $425. As a result of the issuance of notes payable related to trust preferred securities, fees of $1,537 were incurred and are being amortized over the 30 year life of the notes payable resulting in a $13 adjustment recorded in interest expense.
 
    An adjustment of $198 was recorded to reflect the loss from the acquisition and financing transactions allocable to Hersha’s 12.3% Minority Interests.
 
(C)   The planned offering of 2.4 million shares of Hersha’s Series A Preferred shares had no impact on the pro forma statement of operations. See (E) for a description of the impact of dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares on earnings per share.
 
(D)   Represents the results of the planned acquisition of Hersha’s interest in Mystic Partners, LLC. Reflected is Hersha’s interest in the historical losses adjusted to reflect an increase in depreciation expense of $333 based on Hersha’s planned proportional share of the allocation of fair value and an increase in historical Interest expense of $671 due to Hersha’s portion of Mystic’s planned increased debt. An adjustment of $350 was made to record portion of Mystic’s loss allocable to Hersha’s Minority Interest.
 
(E)   The loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders used in the earnings per share calculation is reduced by the dividends on the planned offering of Series A Preferred Shares. Assuming a 8.0% dividend rate, quarterly dividends will have the following impact on loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders used to calculate earnings per share:

 


 

                 
            Pro Forma,  
    Actual     as Adjusted  
Loss from continuing operations

    For three months ended March 31, 2005, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the transactions described herein, our fixed charges and preferred stock dividends would have exceeded our earnings by approximately $4,119, due primarily to (1) the fact that certain of the newly acquired hotels and hotels to be owned by the Mystic Partners joint venture are newly developed or newly re-branded, were closed during development or re-branding and accordingly have little or no operating results for the covered period, and (2) the seasonal variation in the performance of our hotels. Typically, our hotels have stronger performance in the second and third quarters of the year and weaker performance in the first and fourth quarters of the year. We believe this seasonality is typical in the hospitality industry generally.

 


 

HERSHA HOSPITALITY TRUST

Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2004

(Unaudited, Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except per Share Data)

     The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 presents acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions that occurred after March 31, 2005, as if such acquisitions and financing transactions and the incurrence of any acquisition-related indebtedness occurred on January 1, 2004 and includes the following on a pro forma basis:

    the acquisition of:

  -   the McIntosh Portfolio
 
  -   the Brookline Courtyard by Marriott in Brookline, Massachusetts

    the issuance of an aggregate of $51.5 million of notes payable related to trust preferred securities in May 2005;

Also included in this pro forma consolidated statement are the planned

    sale of the Series A Preferred Shares; and
 
    the acquisition of Hersha’s interest in the Mystic Partners joint venture with Waterford.

The Hampton Inn, Herald Square in New York, New York was acquired as an asset acquisition and, as such, had no historical results at the time of acquisition. The disposition of the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Long Island City, New York and the Doubletree Club Hotel in Jamaica, New York were accounted for as discontinued operations. Accordingly, no activity is included in Hersha’s consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations. These transactions have no impact on the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations and have been excluded.

     This pro forma consolidated statement should be read in conjunction with Hersha’s financial statements and related notes in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed in connection with certain of our recent acquisitions and joint ventures, including amendments to Current Reports on Form 8-K/A. In management’s opinion, adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions noted above have been made based on management’s best estimates.

     The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations is not necessarily indicative of what actual results of Hersha would have been assuming such acquisitions and financing transactions had been completed on January 1, 2004, nor is it indicative of the results of operations for future periods.

HERSHA HOSPITALITY TRUST

Notes and Management’s Assumptions to the
Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
For the Year Ended December 31, 2004

(Unaudited, Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except per Share Data)

(A)   Represents Hersha’s audited Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed on Form 10-K, excluding discontinued operations.
 
(B)   Represents the following acquisitions and finance transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005:

    the acquisition of:

  -   the McIntosh Portfolio,
 
  -   the Brookline Courtyard by Marriott in Brookline, Massachusetts

    the issuance of notes payable related to Trust preferred securities;

    The following table indicates the amounts relevant to acquisition, disposition and financing transactions:
                         
                    Acquisitions and  
    Acquisitions     Financing     Financing  
 
                       
                  Total Revenue
  $ 16,274     $     $ 16,274  
                  Operating Expenses:
    14,946             14,946  
 
                 
                  Operating Income
    1,328             1,328  
                  Interest Expense
    (5,085 )     (1,753 )     (6,838 )
                  Loss Allocated to Minority Interest in Continuing Operations
    583       272       855  
 
                 
 
                       
                  Loss from Continuing Operations
  $ (3,174 )   $ (1,481 )   $ (4,655 )
 
                 

    Adjustments were made to the historical results of the acquisitions to reflect an decrease in depreciation and amortization expense over amounts recorded in historical financial statements of $22, which is recorded in operating expense. Adjustments were also made to reflect interest expense in excess of amounts recorded in historical financial statements of $5,085 to reflect the additional debt incurred by Hersha related to the acquisitions, which is recorded in interest expense.
 
    Two $25,774 notes payable related to trust preferred securities bearing interest at rates of 7.14% and 7.34% were issued and were used to fund acquisitions and reduce Hersha’s line of credit balance. An adjustment to record interest expense for the two notes, net of interest recorded on the line of credit balance was recorded in interest expense in the amount of $1,702. As a result of the issuance of notes payable related to trust preferred securities, fees of $1,537 were incurred and are being amortized over the 30 year life of the notes payable resulting in a $51 adjustment recorded in interest expense.
 
    An adjustment of $855 was recorded to reflect the loss from the acquisition and financing transactions allocable to Hersha’s 15.5% Minority Interests.
 
(C)   The planned offering of 2.4 million shares of Hersha’s Series A Preferred shares has no impact on the pro forma statement of operations. See (E) for a description of the impact of dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares on earnings per share.
 
(D)   Represents the results of the planned acquisition of Hersha’s interest in Mystic Partners, LLC. Reflected is Hersha’s interest in the historical losses adjusted to reflect an increase in depreciation expense of $1,297 based on Hersha’s planned proportional share of the allocation of fair value and an increase in historical Interest expense of $2,201 due to Hersha’s portion of Mystic’s planned increased debt. An adjustment of $707 was made to record portion of Mystic’s loss allocable to Hersha’s Minority Interest.
 
(E)   The loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders used in the earnings per share calculation is reduced by the dividends on the planned offering of Series A Preferred Shares. Assuming a 8.0% dividend rate, annual dividends will have the following impact on loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders used to calculate earnings per share:

 


 

                 
            Pro Forma,  
    Actual     as Adjusted  
          Income (Loss) from continuing operations
  $ 840     $ (7,663 )
          Less: planned preferred dividends accrued
          (4,800 )
 
           
          Income (Loss) from continuing operations available to common shareholders
  $ 840     $ (12,463 )
 
           

    For the year ended December 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the transactions described herein, our fixed charges and preferred stock dividends would have exceeded our earnings by approximately $9,543, due primarily to (1) the fact that certain of the newly acquired hotels and hotels to be owned by the Mystic Partners joint venture are newly developed or newly re-branded, were closed during development or re-branding and accordingly have little or no operating results for the covered period, and (2) the seasonal variation in the performance of our hotels. Typically, our hotels have stronger performance in the second and third quarters of the year and weaker performance in the first and fourth quarters of the year. We believe this seasonality is typical in the hospitality industry generally.
