This term is a Post Islamic Revolution term for monarchs in Iran which is replaced by valie faghih or Supreme Leader. , Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The robust level of acquisition activity of premium branded hotels throughout 2005 enabled the Company to significantly increase our critical mass and improve our mix in desirable high barrier-to-entry markets in the Northeast corridor This article is about a rail line.

This, coupled with our aggressive asset management program, allowed the Company to produce strong EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) A metric used to show a company's profitability, but not its cash flow. EBITDA became popular in the 1980s to show the potential profitability of leveraged buyouts, but has become  growth and margin expansion."

Consolidated Adjusted FFO for the fourth quarter 2005 increased to $0.12 per diluted share from $0.07 per diluted in the same quarter of 2004. Net loss applicable to common shareholders was ($3.2) million, or ($0.15) per diluted share compared to a net loss of ($0.8) million, or ($0.04) per diluted share in fourth quarter 2004. The increased net loss on a year-over-year basis is primarily due to the effects of the Company's preferred stock Stock shares that have preferential rights to dividends or to amounts distributable on liquidation, or to both, ahead of common shareholders.

Mr. Shah continued, "During the quarter, our group of owned and consolidated hotels achieved Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR RevPAR

) growth of 18.0%, of which 63% was due to increased Average Daily Rate (ADR ADR - Astra Digital Radio ). Our portfolio has positioned the Company for significant FFO growth in 2006, given that two of the hotels we purchased were built in 2005 and our acquisition of interests in eight hotels with 1,402 rooms subsequent to the close of the year."

Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter 2005

Consolidated hotel revenues, including revenues of hotels held for sale, increased 69.5% to $28.3 million for the fourth quarter 2005 from $16.7 million in fourth quarter 2004 driven primarily by growth in room revenues and acquisitions of hotels. RevPAR for the Company's consolidated hotels (34 hotels) increased 18.0% on a year-over-year basis to $72.37 driven by an 11.4% increase in ADR to $107.68 and a 6.0% improvement in occupancy Gaining or having physical possession of real property subject to, or in the absence of, legal right or title.

Hersha also presents Adjusted Funds from Operations (Adjusted FFO), which reflects FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition further adjusted by:

--adding back income allocated to units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, because the company reports Adjusted FFO to common shareholders on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of those units to common shares;

--adding back income allocated to minority interest (units of partnership interest in HT's operating partnership) related to discontinued operations Discontinued operations

Divisions of a business that have been sold or written off and that no longer are maintained by the business.
;

--adding back depreciation related to discontinued operations;

--adding back distributions to holders of preferred units of partnership interest in the company's operating partnership, which are expensed for GAAP purposes on its income statement;

--adding back our non-cumulative liquidation The collection of assets belonging to a debtor to be applied to the discharge of his or her outstanding debts.

FFO or Adjusted FFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of Hersha's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Hersha considers FFO and Adjusted FFO to be meaningful, additional measures of operating performance because they exclude the effects of the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because they are widely used by industry analysts as a performance measure. Hersha also believes that the additional adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted FFO help to provide a meaningful view of its underlying operations. Comparison of the company's presentation of FFO and Adjusted FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs is not necessarily meaningful due to the differences in the calculations used internally and by other REITs.

The following table reconciles FFO and Adjusted FFO for the periods presented to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, for the same periods:
