        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                March 31, 2000


NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
include the accounts of Extended Stay America, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
"Company").  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.

  The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1999 was derived
from audited financial statements of the Company but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

  Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

  Pursuant to the Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-
up Activities" issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee, effective
January 1, 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting for start-up
activities, including pre-opening and organizational costs, to expense them as
they are incurred.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an expense of $779,000,
net of income tax benefit of $520,000, as the cumulative effect of this change
in accounting.

  For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the computation of diluted
earnings per share does not include approximately 13,065,000 and 11,811,000
weighted average shares, respectively, of common stock represented by
outstanding options because the exercise price of the options was greater than
the average market price of common stock during the period.

  Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current period's presentation.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

General

  We own and operate three brands in the extended stay lodging market--
StudioPLUS(TM) Deluxe Studios ("StudioPLUS"), EXTENDED STAYAMERICA Efficiency
Studios ("EXTENDED STAY"), and Crossland Economy StudiosSM ("Crossland"). Each
brand is designed to appeal to different price points below $500 per week. All
three brands offer the same core components: a living/sleeping area; a fully-
equipped kitchen or kitchenette; and a bathroom. StudioPLUS facilities serve the
mid-price category and generally feature guest rooms that are larger than those
in our other brands, an exercise facility, and a swimming pool. EXTENDED STAY
rooms are designed to compete in the economy category. Crossland rooms are
typically smaller than EXTENDED STAY rooms and are targeted for the budget
category. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words "Extended Stay
America", "Company", "we", "our", "ours", and "us" refer to Extended Stay
America, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.

  During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, we repositioned 14 StudioPLUS
properties as EXTENDED STAY properties.  All operating statistics reflect the
repositioning of these properties as EXTENDED STAY properties for the entire
periods presented.  The table below provides a summary of our selected
development and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999.

</TABLE>

  Average occupancy rates are determined by dividing the rooms occupied on a
daily basis by the total number of rooms.  Due to our rapid expansion, our
overall average occupancy rate has been negatively impacted by the lower
occupancy typically experienced during the pre-stabilization period for newly-
opened facilities.  We expect the negative impact on overall average occupancy
to decline as the ratio of newly-opened properties to total properties in
operation declines.  Average weekly room rates are determined by dividing room
revenue by the number of rooms occupied on a daily basis for the applicable
period and multiplying by seven.  The average weekly room rates generally will
be greater than standard room rates because of (i) stays of less than one week,
which are charged at a higher nightly rate, (ii) higher weekly rates for rooms
that are larger than the standard rooms, and (iii) additional charges for more
than one person per room.  We expect that our future occupancy and room rates
will be impacted by a number of factors, including the number and geographic
location of new facilities as well as the season in which we open those
facilities.  We also cannot assure you that we can maintain our occupancy and
room rates.

                                       5
<PAGE>

  At March 31, 2000, we had 372 operating facilities (39 Crossland, 242 EXTENDED
STAY, and 91 StudioPLUS) and had 20 facilities under construction (18 EXTENDED
STAY and 2 StudioPLUS).  We expect to complete the construction of the
facilities currently under construction generally within the next twelve months,
however, we cannot assure you that we will complete construction within the time
periods we have historically experienced.  Our ability to complete construction
may be materially impacted by various factors including final permitting and
obtaining certificates of occupancy, as well as weather-induced construction
delays.

</TABLE>

  Because newly opened properties typically experience lower occupancies during
their pre-stabilization period, average occupancy rates are impacted by the
ratio of newly opened properties to total properties. The average occupancy rate
in the first quarter of 2000 for the 305 properties we owned and operated as of
December 31, 1998 was 74%. Similarly, the average occupancy rate in the first
quarter of 1999 for the 185 properties we owned and operated as of December 31,
1997 was 75%. We believe that the decline in the average occupancy rate for
properties open for at least one year at the beginning of the quarter of each
year reflects general changes in the overall supply and demand for lodging
products in various markets in which we operate. We expect that these factors
will continue to impact our occupancies until incremental demand is sufficient
to compensate for the supply of available rooms in these markets. The impact of
these factors was offset by the impact of a decline in the ratio of newly opened
properties to total properties for each of our brands, resulting in overall
average occupancy rates of 73% for the first quarter of 2000 compared to 71% for
the first quarter of 1999.

  The increase in overall average weekly room rates for the first quarter of
2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999 reflects the geographic dispersion of
properties opened since March 31, 1999 and the higher standard weekly room rates
in certain of those markets. The increase also is due in part to increases in
rates charged in previously opened properties. The average weekly room rate for
the 305 properties that we owned and operated throughout both periods increased
by 3% in the first quarter of 2000.

  We recognized total revenue of $113.9 million for the first quarter of 2000
and $89.4 million for the first quarter of 1999. This is an increase of $24.5
million, or 27%. Approximately $18.7 million of the increased revenue was
attributable to properties opened subsequent to December 31, 1998 and
approximately $5.8 million was attributable to an increase in revenue for the
305 properties that we owned and operated throughout both periods.

  Property operating expenses, consisting of all expenses directly allocable to
the operation of the facilities but excluding any allocation of corporate
operating and property management expenses, depreciation, or interest were $50.9
million (45% of total revenue) for the first quarter of 2000, compared to $41.0
million (46% of total revenue) for the first quarter of 1999. We expect the
ratio of property operating expenses to total revenue to generally fluctuate
inversely relative to occupancy rate increases or decreases because the majority
of these expenses do not vary based on occupancy. Our overall occupancy rates
were 73% for the first quarter of 2000 and 71% for the first quarter of 1999 and
our property operating margins were 55% for the first quarter of 2000 and 54%
for the first quarter of 1999.

                                       6
<PAGE>

  The provisions for depreciation and amortization for our lodging facilities
were $15.8 million and $13.6 million for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. These provisions were computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets. These provisions reflect a pro rata
allocation of the annual depreciation and amortization charge for the periods
for which the facilities were in operation. Depreciation and amortization for
the first quarter of 2000 increased as compared to the first quarter of 1999
because we operated 38 additional facilities in 2000 and we operated for a full
quarter the 29 properties that were opened in the first quarter of 1999.

 Corporate Operations

  Corporate operating and property management expenses include all expenses not
directly related to the development or operation of lodging facilities. These
expenses consist primarily of personnel and certain marketing costs, as well as
development costs that are not directly related to a site that we will develop.
We incurred corporate operating and property management expenses of $10.9
million (10% of total revenue) in the first quarter of 2000 and $10.3 million
(12% of total revenue) in the first quarter of 1999. The increase in the amount
of these expenses for the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period
in 1999 reflects the impact of additional personnel and related expenses in
connection with the increased number of facilities we operated. We expect these
expenses will continue to increase in total amount but decline moderately as a
percentage of revenue as we develop and operate additional facilities in the
future.

  Depreciation and amortization was $326,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 and $305,000 for the comparable period in 1999. These provisions were
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets for assets not directly related to the operation of our facilities. These
assets were primarily office furniture and equipment.

  We realized $197,000 of interest income in the first quarter of 2000 and
$179,000 in the first quarter of 1999. This interest income was primarily
attributable to the temporary investment of funds drawn under our credit
facilities. We incurred interest charges of $19.5 million during the first
quarter of 2000 and $15.1 million during the first quarter of 1999. Of these
amounts, $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2000 and $3.4 million in the first
quarter of 1999 were capitalized and included in the cost of buildings and
improvements.

  We recognized income tax expense of $7.5 million and $5.1 million (40% of
income before income taxes and the cumulative effect of an accounting change, in
both periods) for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Our income
tax expense differs from the federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to
state and local income taxes.  We expect our annualized effective income tax
rate for 2000 will be approximately 40%.

 Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting

  Pursuant to the Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-
up Activities" issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee, effective
January 1, 1999, we changed our method of accounting for start-up activities,
including pre-opening and organizational costs, to expense them as they are
incurred.  Accordingly, we recorded an expense of $779,000, net of income tax
benefit of $520,000, as the cumulative effect of this change in accounting.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  We had net cash and cash equivalents of $5.5 million as of March 31, 2000 and
$6.4 million as of December 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000 we had approximately
$5.7 million invested and at December 31, 1999 we had approximately $45,000
invested in short-term demand notes having credit ratings of A1/P1 or the
equivalent using domestic commercial banks and other financial institutions. We
also deposited excess funds during these periods in an overnight sweep account
with a commercial bank which in turn invested these funds in short-term,
interest-bearing reverse repurchase agreements. Due to the short-term nature of
these investments, we did not take possession of the securities, which were
instead held by the financial institutions. The market value of the securities
held pursuant to these arrangements approximates the carrying amount. Deposits
in excess of $100,000 are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

                                       7
<PAGE>

  Our operating activities generated cash of $30.6 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and $8.1 million during the three months ended March
31, 1999.

  We used $56.4 million to acquire land and develop and furnish a total of 30
sites opened or under construction in the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
$93.4 million for 58 sites in the three months ended March 31, 1999.

  Our cost to develop a property varies significantly by brand and by geographic
location due to differences in land and labor costs. Similarly, the average
weekly rate charged and the resultant cash flow from these properties will vary
significantly but generally are expected to be in proportion to the development
costs. For the 329 properties we opened from January 1, 1996 through December
31, 1999, the average development cost was approximately $5.3 million with an
average of 107 rooms. In 2000, we expect to open a number of properties in the
Northeast and West where average development costs are higher. Accordingly, we
expect our average development cost for 2000 to increase to approximately $8.3
million per property.

  We made open market repurchases of 567,800 shares of common stock for
approximately $4.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000.

  In addition to our $200 million 9.15% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the
"Notes"), we have an $800 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility") which
provides for a $350 million revolving loan facility (the "Revolving Facility"),
a $150 million term loan facility (the "Tranche A Facility"), a $198 million
(net of scheduled principal repayments of $2 million in 1999) term loan facility
(the "Tranche B Facility"), and a $100 million term loan facility (the "Tranche
C Facility"). Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at
either a variable prime-based rate or a variable LIBOR-based rate, plus an
applicable margin. As of March 31, 2000, we had outstanding loans of $237
million under the Revolving Facility and $448 million under the term loans,
leaving $113 million available and committed under the Credit Facility.
Availability of the Revolving Facility is dependent, however, upon us satisfying
certain financial ratios of debt and interest compared to earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, with these amounts being
calculated pursuant to definitions contained in the Credit Facility.

  Our primary market risk exposures result from the variable nature of the
interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility. We entered into the
Credit Facility for purposes other than trading. We do not own derivative
financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. Based on the levels
of borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2000, if interest rates
changed by 1.0%, our annual cash flow and net income would change by $4.1
million. We manage our market risk exposures by periodic evaluation of such
exposures relative to the costs of reducing the exposures by entering into
interest rate swaps or by refinancing the underlying obligations with longer
term fixed rate debt obligations.

  We plan to develop approximately 30 properties with total costs of
approximately $250 million in 2000. We had commitments not reflected in our
financial statements at March 31, 2000 totaling approximately $100 million to
complete construction of those properties. We believe that the remaining
availability under the Credit Facility, together with cash on hand and cash
flows from operations, will provide sufficient funds to continue our expansion
as presently planned and to fund our operating expenses through 2000. We may
need additional capital depending on a number of factors, including the number
of properties we construct or acquire, the timing of that development, and the
cash flow generated by our properties. Also, if capital markets provide
favorable opportunities, our plans or assumptions change or prove to be
inaccurate, our existing sources of funds prove to be insufficient to fund our
growth and operations, or if we consummate acquisitions, we may seek additional
capital sooner than currently anticipated. In the event we obtain additional
capital, we may seek to increase property openings in future years. Sources of
capital may include public or private debt or equity financing. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if
at all. Our failure to raise additional capital could result in the delay or
abandonment of some or all of our development and expansion plans, and could
have a material adverse effect on us.

Seasonality and Inflation

  Based upon the operating history of our facilities, we believe that extended
stay lodging facilities are not as seasonal in nature as the overall lodging
industry. We do expect, however, that our occupancy rates and revenues will be
lower than average during the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year.
Because many of our expenses do not fluctuate with changes in occupancy rates,
declines in occupancy rates may cause fluctuations or decreases in our quarterly
earnings.

  The rate of inflation as measured by changes in the average consumer price
index has not had a material effect on our revenue or operating results during
any of the periods presented. We cannot assure you, however, that inflation will
not affect our future operating or construction costs.

Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements

  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements. Words
such as "expects", "intends", "plans", "projects", "believes", "estimates", and
similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. We
have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and
projections about future events. However, these forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors which may cause
our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different.
These factors include, among other things:

     .  our limited operating history and uncertainty as to our future
        profitability;

     .  our ability to meet construction and development schedules and budgets;

     .  our ability to develop and implement the operational and financial
        systems needed to manage rapidly growing operations;
