ITEM 8.  The following Report of Independent Auditors shall be moved from Item
         14 to Item 8:

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

         The Stockholders and Board of Directors
         Lodgian, Inc.

                  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
         of Lodgian, Inc. (formerly known as Servico, Inc) and subsidiaries as
         of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements
         of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
         three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards
         generally accepted in the United States. 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.

                  The selected quarterly financial data included in Note 17
         contains information that we did not audit, and, accordingly, we do not
         express an opinion on that data. We attempted, but were unable, to
         review the quarterly financial data for the interim periods within 1999
         in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
         Certified Public Accountants because we believe that the Company's
         internal controls for the preparation of interim financial information
         did not provide an adequate basis to enable us to complete such a
         review.

                  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
         present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
         position of Lodgian, Inc. (formerly known as Servico, Inc.) and
         subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated
         results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
         years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with
         accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
