CEO STATEMENT
“We had a good momentum during the first quarter followed by a slow down in April-May and a pick up in June. We believe that our performance was in line with or better than the overall market, and expect RevPAR to continue to grow during the remainder of 2007. Rising contribution from hotels in their ramp up phase, rate driven RevPAR growth and a gradual shift in our business model are expected to improve the EBITDA margin.

During the first half of 2007, we opened over 3,500 rooms. Given these new openings and our contracted pipeline, we feel confident of adding 20,000 new rooms by the end of 2009.” Kurt Ritter, President & CEO
