                       SUNBURST HOSPITALITY CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                                        
1.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sunburst Hospitality
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company
without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the seven months ended 
December 31, 1997 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K, dated
March 30, 1998. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year
amounts to conform to current period presentation.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 1998, the results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of
seasonal and short-term variations.

2.  On March 7, 1996, Manor Care, Inc. ("Manor Care") announced its intention to
proceed with the separation of its lodging business from its health care
business via a spin-off of its lodging business (the "Manor Care Distribution").
On September 30, 1996 the Board of Directors of Manor Care declared a special
dividend to its shareholders of one share of common stock of Choice Hotels
International, Inc. for each share of Manor Care stock, and the Board set the
Record Date and the Distribution Date.  The Stock Distribution was made on
November 1, 1996 to holders of record of Manor Care's common stock on 
October 10, 1996.

The Manor Care Distribution separated the lodging and health care businesses of
Manor Care into two public corporations. The operations of the Company consisted
principally of the hotel franchise operations and the owned and managed hotel
operations formerly conducted by Manor Care directly or through its
subsidiaries.

On November 1, 1996, concurrent with the Manor Care Distribution, the Company
changed its name from Choice Hotels Holdings, Inc. to Choice Hotels
International, Inc. and the Company's franchising subsidiary, formerly named
Choice Hotels International, Inc., changed its name to Choice Hotels
Franchising, Inc. ("Franchising").

On April 29, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors announced its intention to
separate the Company's franchising business ("Choice Franchising Business") from
its owned hotel business. On September 16, 1997, the Board of Directors and
shareholders of the Company approved the separation of the business via a spin-
off of the franchising business, along with the Company's European hotel and
franchising operations (the "Choice Spin-Off"), to its shareholders. The Board
set October 15, 1997 as the date of distribution and on that date, Company
shareholders received one share in Franchising (renamed "Choice Hotels
International, Inc.") for every share of Company stock held on October 7, 1997
(the date of record). Concurrent with the October 15, 1997 distribution date,
the Company changed its name to Sunburst Hospitality Corporation and effected a
one-for-three reverse stock split of its common stock.

In connection with the Distribution, the Company has presented the franchising
business as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of income and
consolidated statement of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997. Although the Company's European hotel operations were distributed to
shareholders along with the franchising business, generally accepted accounting
principles do not permit presenting this operation as discontinued. The
following schedules illustrate the impact of the European hotel operations on
the operating results of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997.

                                                                               6

The effect of dilutive securities is computed using the treasury stock method
and average market prices during the period.  Certain options to purchase common
stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
the exercise of the options exceeded the average market price of the common
shares for the period.  The following table summarizes such options.

4.  As of June 30,1998, the Company owned and managed 85 hotels with 11,754
rooms in 28 states under the following brand names:  Comfort, Clarion, Sleep,
Quality, MainStay, Rodeway and Econo Lodge.

5.  The Company has identified six hotels that are currently being marketed for
sale. At June 30, 1998, the net book value of the hotels held for sale is $17.9
million. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
("SFAS No. 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company discontinued depreciating
these assets while they are held for sale. In addition, SFAS No. 121 requires
that assets held for sale be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less costs to sell. The Company has concluded that the assets are
properly recorded and no writedown is necessary. The six hotels held for sale
reported total revenues of $1.9 million and $3.2 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, and $1.8 million and $3.3 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. Operating income (before
allocations for corporate expenses) of the six hotels was $263,000 and $150,000
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively and $200,000 and
$229,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997.

6.  Relationship with Choice Hotels International, Inc.

For purposes of providing an orderly transition after the Distribution, the
Company and Franchising entered into various agreements, including, among
others, a Distribution Agreement, a Tax Sharing Agreement, a Corporate Services
Agreement and an Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement.  Effective as of
October 15, 1997, these agreements provide, among other things, that the Company
(i) will receive and/or provide certain corporate and support services, such as
accounting, tax and computer systems support, (ii) will adjust outstanding
options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock held by Company employees,
Franchising employees, and employees of Manor Care, (iii) is responsible for
filing and paying the related taxes on consolidated federal tax returns and
consolidated or combined state tax returns for itself and any of its affiliates
(including Franchising) for the periods of time that the affiliates were members
of the consolidated group, (iv) will be reimbursed by Franchising for the
portion of income taxes paid that relate to Franchising and its subsidiaries,
and (v) guarantees that Franchising will, at the date of the Distribution have a
specified minimum level of net worth.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company has a
$19.9 million liability to Choice related to the net worth guarantee, the
estimated final allocation of liabilities and assets and for expenses incurred
by Choice on behalf of the Company.

7.  In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities"(the "SOP").  The SOP, which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998, requires costs related to start-up activities to be
expensed as incurred.  Presently, the Company capitalizes such costs and
amortizes them over a period of one year.  The Company intends to adopt the
standard on January 1, 1999. Initial application of the SOP will be reported as
a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

If the Company would have adopted this standard on January 1, 1998, the effect
would have been to decrease income from continuing operations by approximately
$65,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, and to 

                                                                               8
<PAGE>
 
increase income from continuing operations by approximately $116,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. Net income for the six month period would have
decreased by approximately $578,000, as a result of a charge for the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle of $694,000 (net of taxes).

8.  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," on January 1, 1998. The adoption of
SFAS No. 130 does not impact the operations of the Company as the Company does
not have any items considered to be other comprehensive income under SFAS 
No. 130.

                                                                               9

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        

     The Company is a national owner and operator of hotel properties with a
portfolio at June 30, 1998 of 85 hotels (11,754 rooms) in a total of 28 states.
The Company operates each of its hotels under one of the Choice Brands:
MainStay, Comfort, Quality, Clarion, Sleep, Rodeway and Econo Lodge. The
Company's continuing business consists primarily of guest room revenue, meeting
room revenue, and food and beverage revenue from owned and operated hotels.

     On October 15, 1997, the Company separated the Choice Franchising Business
(which had previously been conducted primarily through Franchising) and its
European owned and managed hotels from its other operations pursuant to a pro
rata distribution to its shareholders of all the common stock of Franchising. At
the time of the Choice Spin-Off, Franchising changed its name to "Choice Hotels
International, Inc." The Company changed its name to "Sunburst Hospitality
Corporation" and effected a one-for-three reverse stock split.

     European hotel operations, which were distributed to Choice in the Choice
Spin-Off, are presented as part of continuing operations in the consolidated
financial statements for all periods prior to the Choice Spin-Off in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, for purposes of
analyzing the operations of the Company, management focuses on domestic hotel
operations. Therefore, the following discussion focuses on the results of
operations of the domestic hotels, which constitute the ongoing operations of
the Company subsequent to October 15, 1997.


COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuing Operations
- ---------------------

     Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $54.4 million,
a 5.0% increase over the second quarter of 1997.  Domestic revenues increased
$7.5 million, or 15.9%, from $47.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997 to $54.4 million for the same period of 1998.  Room revenues contributed
$6.4 million to the growth in revenue, while food and beverage and other revenue
each contributed $0.5 million.  The increase in room revenue is attributable to
a 15.7% increase in the number of rooms, from 10,156 at June 30, 1997 to 11,754
at June 30, 1998, and a 3.7% increase in comparable hotel average daily rates.
The fires in the state of Florida negatively impacted revenues for the second
quarter, as 13 of the Company's 85 hotels are located in Florida.

     Operating expenses increased 9.7%, or $4.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.  Domestic operating
expenses increased $8.5 million from $36.7 in 1997 to $45.2 in 1998.  The
increase in domestic operating expenses results from the addition of 15 hotels
to the Company's portfolio and the increased expense of operating as a separate
company.  Domestic departmental and undistributed operating expenses increased
$4.3 million or 14.4%, while depreciation and amortization expense increased
$2.1 million.  Corporate expense increased $2.2 million, from $1.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, to $4.0 million for the same period of
1998.  Included in corporate expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998
are $350,000 of non-recurring expenses associated with a public offering of
common stock that was withdrawn during the second quarter.

     Income from continuing operations before interest, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") increased 2.4%, from $16.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, to $16.5 for the same period of 1998.  Domestic EBITDA
increased 6.7% from $15.5 million for the June 1997 quarter to $16.5 million for
the June 1998 quarter.  The Company considers EBITDA to be an indicative measure
of operating performance, particularly due to the large amount of depreciation
and amortization.  Such information should not be considered an alternative to
net income, operating income, cash flow from operations, or any other operating
or liquidity performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Gross profit from hotel 
operations (operating income before depreciation and amortization and corporate 
expense) increased 14.2% in the three months ending June 30, 1998 to $20.5 
million, while the gross profit from hotel operations margin increased from 
34.7% to 37.7%.

     Interest expense increased $401,000 to $5.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.  Domestic interest
expense increased $626,000, or 13.6%, from $4.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 to $5.2 million for the same period of 1998.  The increase
is a result of additional 

                                                                              10

borrowings associated with the Company's development and construction of hotels.

     Income from continuing operations decreased $866,000 from $3.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $2.4 million for the same period of
1998.  Domestic income from continuing operations decreased $815,000 for three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.  The decrease
results from the additional expenses associated with operating the company on a
stand-alone basis and the increase in depreciation and amortization and interest
expenses resulting from the addition of 15 hotels to the Company's portfolio.

     Earnings per share from continuing operations decreased from $0.16 per
share for the 1997 period to $0.12 per share for the 1998 period.

     In May 1997, the Company prepaid $110.0 million in notes payable to Manor
Care.  The prepayment of the notes resulted in a prepayment penalty of $1.1
million, net of taxes, which is presented on the statement of operations as an
extraordinary item.

     The following table breaks-out the operating results of the Company's
portfolio into four segments: extended-stay (consisting of the Company's
MainStay Suites hotels), traditional all-suite, full-service, and limited-
service for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

(1) Only one of the Company's MainStay Suites has been open during all periods

Discontinued operations
- -----------------------


     Income from discontinued operations of $11.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, represents the income, net of taxes, of the Franchising
segment.  The Franchising segment, along with European hotel operations, was
distributed to shareholders on October 15, 1997.


COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuing Operations
- ---------------------


     Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $100.6 million,
an increase of $3.8 million over the same period of 1997.  Domestic revenues
increased $12.3 million, or 14.0%, in the first six months of 1998 compared to
the same period of 1997.  The increase results primarily from the net addition
of 15 hotels and 1,598 rooms to the Company's portfolio and a 4.6% increase in
comparable hotel average daily rates.  Food and beverage revenue also
contributed $1.5 million to the increase in revenue for the first six months of
1998.

     Total operating expenses increased 6.8%, or $5.4 million, for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.  Domestic
operating expenses increased $14.0 million for the first half of 1998 compared
to the same period of 1997.  The increase is a result of the addition of 1,598
rooms to the Company's portfolio and the increased cost of operating as a stand-
alone company.  Domestic depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.5
million, while corporate expense increased $4.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. Included in corporate expense for the six months ended June 30,
1998 are $350,000 of non-recurring expenses associated with a public offering of
common stock that was withdrawn during the second quarter.

     Total EBITDA increased $1.1 million from $28.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 to $29.1 million for the same period of 1998.  Domestic
hotel EBITDA increased $1.8 million, or 6.6%, to $29.1 million in 1998.
Domestic gross profit from hotel operations (operating income before
depreciation and amortization and corporate expense) increased 18.8%, from $30.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, to $36.6 for the same period of
1998.

     Interest expense increased $1.0 million to $10.2 million.  Domestic
interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 16.9%, in 1998 as a result of
increased borrowings associated with the development and construction of new
hotels.

     Income from continuing operations decreased $1.4 million for the first half
of 1998.  Domestic income from continuing operations decreased $1.6 million from
$4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $3.1 million for the same
period of 1998.  The decrease is primarily attributable to increased
depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense associated with the
development of new hotels and increased corporate expense associated with
operating the company on a stand-alone basis.

     The following table breaks-out the operating results for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of the Company's portfolio into four segments:
extended-stay (consisting of the Company's MainStay Suites hotels), traditional
all-suite, full-service, and limited-service.

Discontinued Operations
- -----------------------

     Income from discontinued operations of $16.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, represents the income, net of taxes, of the Franchising
segment.  The Franchising segment, along with European hotel operations, was
distributed to shareholders on October 15, 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- --------------------------------

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $52.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 includes net cash provided by discontinued operations, as
well as net cash provided by European hotel operations, which were distributed
to shareholders pursuant to the Choice Spin-Off. Net cash provided by continuing
operations was $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to
net cash provided by continuing operations of $18.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had $269.5 million of long-term debt
outstanding. Of this amount, $31.0 million reflects amounts outstanding under
the Company's $80 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The 

                                                                              13
<PAGE>
 
Credit Facility expires in October 2000. At June 30, 1998, permitted
availability under the Credit Facility amounted to $58.5 million. The Credit
Facility's permitted availability will expand to certain levels as the Company's
cash flow increases.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company owed Choice $122.4 million (including $9.0
million in accrued interest) pursuant to the Choice Note, a subordinated note
which matures October 15, 2002. The Choice Note provides additional financial
flexibility due to the fact that no interest is payable until maturity. The
Company does, however, expect to refinance the Choice Note with a longer-term
subordinated debt financing as soon as practicable.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company owed Choice $19.9 million representing
liabilities of the Company discharged or assumed by Choice in connection with
the Choice Spin-Off. The Company has reached an understanding with Choice to
satisfy this obligation no later than December 31, 1998. These amounts are
classified as "Payable to Choice Hotels International, Inc." on the Company's
balance sheet.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company's debt to book capitalization amounted to
74.4%, while debt to market capitalization was 66.0%.

     Notwithstanding the real estate-intensive nature of the Company's business,
the Company's objective is to reduce its overall leverage while continuing to
grow through development. The Company continuously evaluates its existing
portfolio and seeks to sell hotels that have limited upside potential or are
projected to underperform in order to redeploy capital in higher-yielding
assets. The Company has identified six such properties that it is marketing for
sale in 1998.

     The Company intends to aggressively develop MainStay Suites, a mid-price
extended-stay hotel product. At June 30, 1998, eleven MainStay Suites were open
and operating with another eight under construction. In addition to those under
construction, there were another three projects under development. A typical
MainStay Suites costs approximately $5.0 to $6.9 million to develop and
construct (including land cost), with an average cost per room ranging from
$50,000 to $65,000. In order for the Company to continue the MainStay Suites
development program on a long-term basis, additional capital will be required.
The Company withdrew a proposed common stock offering in the second quarter due
to unfavorable market conditions.  Although the withdrawal of the offering will
not cause liquidity problems in the foreseeable future, the lack of additional
capital may cause the Company to modify its development plans.

     Excluding development, recurring capital expenditures required to maintain
operating assets in the appropriate condition are estimated to be approximately
$15 million per year. Planned capital expenditures for the development of
MainStay Suites and Sleep Inns in 1998 are projected to be approximately $83.6
million. Planned capital expenditures for the development of MainStay Suites in
calendar 1999 are projected to be $62.3 million. The Company will also continue
to pursue selectively the acquisition of hotel properties in all segments of the
lodging industry where the Company believes long-term value can be created from
renovation and, where appropriate, the repositioning of the hotel to a different
brand or service level.
