Our operations have consistently produced losses Our financial results are being impacted by the current slowing or recession in the U.S. economy. The weak U.S. dollar compared to other currencies appears to have resulted in less imported consumer goods into the U.S. and less business at our travel centers. Recent fuel price increases and fuel price volatility are negatively affecting our business. Our labor costs are difficult to control. Our properties require regular and expensive maintenance and capital investments. Our operating margins are narrow. An interruption in our fuel supplies would materially adversely affect our business. We are involved in litigation which is expensive and may have adverse impacts upon our business. We rely upon trade creditors for a significant amount of our working capital. Our storage and dispensing of petroleum products create the potential for environmental damages, and compliance with environmental laws may be costly. Our franchisees may become unable to pay our rents and royalties and we have limited control of our franchisees. Risks arising from our formation and certain relationships We have been recently reorganized. We are obligated to pay material amounts of rent to Hospitality Trust. Our business is subject to possible conflicts of interest with Hospitality Trust and Reit Management. Ownership limitations and anti-takeover provisions may prevent you from receiving a takeover premium. We may be unable to meet financial reporting and internal control standards for a publicly owned company.
