<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>EXPLANATORY STATEMENT</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Form S-8 Registration Statement of Lodgian, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148; or the &#147;Registrant&#148;) is
filed for the purpose of registering the offer, sale and issuance of 2,948,222 additional shares
of common stock under the Company&#146;s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;Stock Incentive Plan&#148;), as
amended and restated effective April&nbsp;8, 2004 and further amended
as of April&nbsp;28, 2005. Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers relating to
the shares of common stock presented herein give effect to the 1:3 reverse stock split effective
as of April&nbsp;30, 2004 (the &#147;Reverse Stock Split&#148;).



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;5, 2002, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the &#147;Bankruptcy Court&#148;) entered an order (the &#147;Confirmation Order&#148;) confirming the First Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the
Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Stock Incentive Plan and the reservation of
1,060,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder, or 353,333 after giving effect to the
Reverse Stock Split.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;8, 2004, the stockholders of the Company approved the amendment and restatement of
the Stock Incentive Plan whereby the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Stock
Incentive Plan were increased from 1,060,000 shares to 1,149,000 shares effective immediately
(which shares reserved for issuance were reduced to 383,000 after giving effect to the Reverse
Stock Split); provided, however, that, upon the completion of a qualified public offering of the
common stock, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Incentive
Plan would be further increased to the lesser of (i)&nbsp;3,367,400 shares or (ii)&nbsp;a number of shares
that constituted 12% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the
consummation of the qualified public offering, calculated on a fully diluted basis. A qualified
public offering, as that term is defined in the Stock Incentive Plan, was completed by the Company
on June&nbsp;25, 2004, at which time, based on the number of outstanding shares of common stock, the
aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan
was 3,301,058 shares.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;28, 2005, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Stock
Incentive Plan to clarify the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder,
remove the formula used to calculate such number of shares following a qualified public offering
and set the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan
at 3,301,058 shares.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Registration Statement provides for the registration of an additional 2,948,222 shares
of the Registrant&#146;s common stock to be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan, which is the number
of shares approved by the stockholders in excess of those reserved for issuance pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order less that number of shares
previously issued upon the exercise of outstanding options.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The restated certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides that the Registrant must
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a
Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. The corporation may indemnify such a
person against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in
the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, judicial approval is required for
indemnification in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person was adjudged to be
liable to the corporation. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a
corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorney&#146;s
fees) he or she actually and reasonably incurred. Under Delaware law, the expenses of an officer
or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by a Delaware corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action,
suit or proceeding after delivery to the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Expenses incurred by former directors and officers or
other employees and agents may be so paid on such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation
deems appropriate.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification provision in the Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation may be
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant&#146;s directors and executive officers
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant may purchase and maintain an insurance policy insuring its directors, officers,
employees and agents against liability for certain acts and omissions while acting in their
official capacity.

individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not

<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

the initial bona fide offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Form S-8 Registration Statement of Lodgian, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") is
filed for the purpose of registering the offer, sale and issuance of 2,948,222 additional shares
of common stock under the Company's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), as
amended and restated effective April 8, 2004 and further amended
as of April 28, 2005. Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers relating to
the shares of common stock presented herein give effect to the 1:3 reverse stock split effective
as of April 30, 2004 (the "Reverse Stock Split").
On November 5, 2002, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the First Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the
Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Stock Incentive Plan and the reservation of
1,060,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder, or 353,333 after giving effect to the
Reverse Stock Split.
On April 8, 2004, the stockholders of the Company approved the amendment and restatement of
the Stock Incentive Plan whereby the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Stock
Incentive Plan were increased from 1,060,000 shares to 1,149,000 shares effective immediately
(which shares reserved for issuance were reduced to 383,000 after giving effect to the Reverse
Stock Split); provided, however, that, upon the completion of a qualified public offering of the
common stock, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Incentive
Plan would be further increased to the lesser of (i) 3,367,400 shares or (ii) a number of shares
that constituted 12% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the
consummation of the qualified public offering, calculated on a fully diluted basis. A qualified
public offering, as that term is defined in the Stock Incentive Plan, was completed by the Company
on June 25, 2004, at which time, based on the number of outstanding shares of common stock, the
aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan
was 3,301,058 shares.
On April 28, 2005, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Stock
Incentive Plan to clarify the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder,
remove the formula used to calculate such number of shares following a qualified public offering
and set the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan
at 3,301,058 shares.
This Registration Statement provides for the registration of an additional 2,948,222 shares
of the Registrant's common stock to be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan, which is the number
of shares approved by the stockholders in excess of those reserved for issuance pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order less that number of shares
previously issued upon the exercise of outstanding options.

Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The restated certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides that the Registrant must
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a
Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. The corporation may indemnify such a
person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in
the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, judicial approval is required for
indemnification in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person was adjudged to be
liable to the corporation. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a
corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorney's
fees) he or she actually and reasonably incurred. Under Delaware law, the expenses of an officer
or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by a Delaware corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action,
suit or proceeding after delivery to the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Expenses incurred by former directors and officers or
other employees and agents may be so paid on such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation
deems appropriate.
The indemnification provision in the Registrant's certificate of incorporation may be
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant's directors and executive officers
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Registrant may purchase and maintain an insurance policy insuring its directors, officers,
employees and agents against liability for certain acts and omissions while acting in their
official capacity.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
