                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Owners
Beck Hospitality II and Subsidiaries
Cincinnati, Ohio

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of the  Beck
Hospitality  II and  Subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  1998,  and the  related
consolidated  statements of income,  owners'  equity and cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 1998. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the consolidated  1998 financial  statements  referred to above
present  fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of Beck
Hospitality II and  Subsidiaries  at December 31, 1998, and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for the year then  ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Beck Hospitality II and Subsidiaries  (Company) is engaged  principally
     in the operation of hotel facilities in the Midwest and southeastern United
     States.  It is the  policy  of the  Company  to employ  generally  accepted
     accounting  principles in the  preparation of its financial  statements.  A
     summary of the significant  accounting policies consistently applied in the
     preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements follows:

     1.   Consolidation Practices

     On August 1, 1998, the Companies formerly combined to form Beck Hospitality
     II  and   Subsidiaries  and  affiliates  were  reorganized  into  a  parent
     subsidiary  structure.  Prior to that time the  Companies  were  shown as a
     combined  group.  The  transaction  is  being  accounted  for on a basis of
     accounting  similar  to a pooling of  interest.  Therefore,  the  financial
     statements  have been  presented  as if the  combination  were made for all
     periods presented.

     As a result of that  reorganization,  a minority interest is recognized for
     the 25% interest in Beck Group of Pompano.  The financial  statements  have
     been restated for all periods shown to reflect minority interest due to the
     change in reporting entity.

     The financial  statements of the Beck  Hospitality II and  Subsidiaries and
     its wholly owned subsidiaries, Beckelbe, Ltd. and Beck Group of Juno, Inc.,
     (The Company) have been consolidated for reporting purposes. As a result of
     the  reorganization  of  the  Companies,   an  advance  to  affiliates  was
     eliminated and a deemed  distribution of $5,197,796 was charged to retained
     earnings of Beck Hospitality II and  Subsidiaries.  In addition the Company
     owns a 75% interest in Beck Group of Pompano Beach,  Inc. All inter-company
     transactions have been eliminated.

     2.   Accounting Estimates

     In preparing  financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
     accounting  principles,  management  makes estimates and  assumptions  that
     affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and disclosures of
     contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements,
     as well as the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
     reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     3.   Cash

     Cash  includes  accounts  held at financial  institutions  with an original
     maturity of three months or less.

     4.   Accounts Receivable

     Accounts receivable are considered to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no
     allowance for doubtful  accounts is deemed  necessary.  Amounts that become
     uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.

                       At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     5.   Inventory

     Inventory  is  stated at the lower of cost or  market;  cost is  determined
     using the first-in, first-out method.

     6.   Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  and  amortization
     are provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets
     to operations  principally on the  straight-line  method over the estimated
     useful lives of the assets.  The  estimated  useful lives are 7 to 10 years
     for  furniture  and  equipment  and  30  to  50  years  for  buildings  and
     improvements.  Expenditures  for  maintenance  and repairs are  expensed as
     incurred.

     7.   Deferred Charges and Other Assets

     Expenses  incurred in obtaining  long-term  financing  are amortized on the
     straight-line method over the term of the loan from five to thirty years.

     The hotels  operate  under  franchise  agreements,  which expire at various
     dates to 2009. The franchise agreements require the payment of monthly fees
     for various franchise  services and a payment at the initial signing of the
     agreement.  Expenses  incurred  in  obtaining  franchise  affiliations  are
     amortized  on the  straight-line  method  over the term of the  agreements,
     which are from five years to fifteen years.

     8.   Advertising

     Advertising  production costs are expensed the first time the advertisement
     is  run.  Media  placement  costs  are  expensed  in the  first  month  the
     advertising appears. Total advertising expenses were $223,000, $396,000 and
     $405,000  for  the  years  ended   December   31,  1998,   1997  and  1996,
     respectively.

     9.   Income Taxes

     Prior to August 1, 1998 the  Company  was  comprised  of  Partnerships  and
     S-Corporations. The Company is taxed as a C-Corporation from August 1, 1998
     through  December 31, 1998. A deferred tax asset has been  established  for
     the net operating loss generated during the period. No valuation reserve is
     deemed  necessary  at  this  time.  Temporary  differences  at the  time of
     conversion of status were not materially different.

     10.  Reclassification

     Prior year  amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform  with current year
     presentation.

                          INTRODUCTION TO THE UNAUDITED
                   PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         On February 2, 1999, the Company, by way of merger of Beck Hospitality,
Inc. II ("Beck II") with and into the Company,  acquired seven  additional hotel
properties and two management  contracts.  Beck II was  wholly-owned by Louis S.
Beck and Harry G. Yeaggy, the Company's principal  stockholders and Chairman and
Vice Chairman,  respectively.  The Company also assumed certain  indebtedness of
another affiliate of Messrs. Beck and Yeaggy which was secured by various assets
of Beck II.

         For  accounting  purposes the parties agreed that the effective date of
the transaction would be January 1, 1999.

         The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statement of operations  for the
twelve  months  ended  December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 is based upon (i)
the pro forma  statement of operations of the Company set forth in Note 3 to the
Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of the  Company  included  in the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
(ii) the audited  financial  statements of Beck II filed  herewith.  Adjustments
have been made for (1) the  elimination  of  management  fee income and  expense
attributable  to Beck II  properties  which were managed by the Company prior to
the  acquisition;  (2) interest income and interest expense on the mortgage note
(the "Juno Note")  secured by the property known as the Holiday Inn Express Juno
Beach;  (3) the  elimination of a deferred tax benefit of Beck II as a result of
the merger; and (4) an increase in preferred stock dividends attributable to the
issuance of an additional 6,336.2 shares of the Preferred Stock, Series B.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998 is based
upon (i) the  Company's  audited  balance sheet at December 31, 1998 included in
the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998
and  (ii) the  audited  financial  statements  of Beck II  filed  herewith.  The
acquisition entry reflects (1) the assumption of indebtedness as a result of the
