Fourth Quarter 2004 Results

For the 2004 fourth quarter, revenues decreased approximately $1.9 million to $13.0 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2003. The decrease was due primarily to fewer hotels in the company's portfolio and the timing of hotel sales. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in incentive and royalty-sharing fees, and an increase in comparable hotel operating revenues operating revenue

Net loss for the 2004 fourth quarter was approximately $3.6 million, or ($0.72) per share, compared to net loss of approximately $1.9 million, or ($0.37) per share, in the 2003 fourth quarter. These results include non-cash hotel impairment Impairment

Discontinued operations relates to the net results of operations of all the company's non-AmeriHost Inn hotels, which the company has determined no longer fit its strategic plan and have been sold or are being marketed for sale. The discontinued operations include non-cash impairment and accelerated depreciation Accelerated Depreciation

 charges related to these hotels of approximately $819,000 and $10,000, net of tax, during the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The accelerated depreciation charge relates to the early termination of a hotel lease, pursuant to a 2004 lease modification that provided for the sale of the hotel by the landlord in February 2005.

Full Year 2004 Results

Revenues for the year 2004 declined 10.5 percent to $63.4 million, compared to $70.9 million in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to lower revenues as a result of fewer hotels in the company's portfolio and lower revenues from the sale of Consolidated AmeriHost Inn hotels, partially offset by an increase in incentive and royalty-sharing fees, which rose 39.2 percent in 2004 to $1.4 million, compared to $1.0 million in 2003. The increase in incentive and royalty-sharing fees was a result of the amortization of a greater number of development incentive fees received from Cendant Corporation (NYSE NYSE

See: New York Stock Exchange
: CD) in connection with the sale of AmeriHost hotels and the growing stream of royalty-sharing fees received from Cendant as the number of non-Arlington-owned AmeriHost Inn franchisees expands.

Substantial professional fees, approximately $889,000, reported as corporate general and administrative expenses, were incurred in 2004 as a result of extensive legal and financial advisory services advisory services

Net loss for 2004 was ($5.6 million), compared to a net loss of ($5.6 million) for 2003. These results include non-cash hotel impairment provisions of approximately $1.3 million pre-tax ($880,000 after tax) and $5.1 million pre-tax ($3.2 million after tax) in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The results also include a loss from discontinued operations of approximately ($2.2 million) in 2004, compared to ($1.9 million) in 2003, net of tax, related to the non-AmeriHost hotels classified as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations includes approximately $3.0 million pre-tax ($1.8 million after tax), and $910,000, pre-tax ($546,000 after tax) in 2004 and 2003, respectively, of additional impairment charges and accelerated depreciation related to the terminated non-AmeriHost Inn hotel lease, as discussed above.

"We made significant progress in 2004 towards achieving the company's transition plan," said Kenneth M. Fell, Arlington's chairman of the board. "A critical achievement was the restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics).  of our lease agreement with PMC, which resulted in a significant reduction in our rent payments and allows us to accelerate our exit strategy for those properties as AmeriHost Inns.

 negotiation with PMC contributed much higher than expected legal and financial advisory fees and delayed our new hotel development program, which remains a top priority for 2005."

Fell continued, "We believe there is significant new hotel development opportunity as the industry is entering the earliest stage of recovery. In order to attain our goal of accelerating our hotel development program, we will need to obtain additional capital. We are in discussions and negotiations with potential partners and lenders to obtain such capital, however we have not received any firm commitments."

 Significant Events

The company made significant progress on a number of fronts in the past 15 months, including:

--Real Estate Sales - During the 2004 fourth quarter, the company sold one wholly owned AmeriHost Inn hotel. In addition, the company sold its ownership interest in one non-AmeriHost Inn hotel held in a joint venture, and facilitated the sale of an AmeriHost Inn leased from PMC Commercial Trust.

In 2004, Arlington Hospitality divested 15 hotels plus one vacant land parcel. The hotel sales include 11 wholly owned hotels, two hotels in which Arlington was a joint-venture partner, and two hotels leased from PMC. During 2004, Arlington paid off approximately $18.5 million of mortgage debt in connection with the sale of hotels. Total hotel mortgage debt was approximately $42.2 million at year-end 2004, compared to $60.1 million on December 31, 2003.

Year to date in 2005, the company has divested five hotels including one wholly owned hotel, three hotels held by joint ventures, and one hotel which was leased from PMC. In addition, a vacant land parcel, next to the company's headquarters, was sold. The company currently has nine hotels under contract for sale, including three leased hotels, which are expected to be consummated within the next six months. Since the company announced its plans to sell 25 to 30 hotels in July 2003, the company has sold 21 hotels, exclusive of the sale of the PMC hotels and sale of the company's ownership interest in a non-AmeriHost Inn joint venture.
