SUPER 8 MOTELS, LTD.
(A California Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
JUNE 30, 1998
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership has current assets of $1,109,906 which exceed its current
liabilities of $271,126 by $838,780. While the Partnership agreement has no
reserve requirement, the General Partner has set a $250,000 target (5% of the
Partnership's original capitalization).
Other than operating cash flow, additional borrowing against the properties is
the only realistic source of cash in the unlikely event that reserves do not
satisfy the Partnership's future cash requirements.
During the six month period covered by this report, the Partnership's
expenditures for replacements and renovation totaled $101,564 or 5.1% of guest
room revenues. Included in that amount was 70,964 for guest room and hallway
carpet replacements and $8,076 for replacement guest room lamps.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a comparison of the first six months of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1998 with the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.
Total income decreased $30,372 or 1.5%. The major revenue item, guest room
revenue, decreased $5,336 or 0.3%. A 16.8% increase in the average room rate
from $47.65 in 1997 to $55.66 in 1998 was offset by a 14.6% decrease in the
average occupancy rate from 71.2% in 1997 to 60.8% in 1998. All three motel
achieved increases in the average daily room rate and decreases in the average
occupancy rate. The South San Francisco motel achieved an increase in guest room
revenues which was offset by decreased revenues at the Sacramento and Modesto
motels.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
JUNE 30, 1998 (Continued)
Total expenses increased $18,291 or 1.2% during the six months of the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding quarter of the
previous fiscal year. The increased expenses are due to increases in the minimum
wage, legal fees, appraisal and other costs associated with the potential
liquidation of the partnership and with fees to the general partners that are a
percentage of increased distributions to the limited partners.
FUTURE TRENDS
The General Partners anticipate an economic climate that is substantially
unchanged for 1998 as compared with the previous fiscal year. The South San
Francisco market, which traditionally generated 40% of the Partnership's room
revenue, has recovered from its depressed condition. The General Partners have
determined that a continuing cost control strategy will provide the best
immediate return to the Partnership.
The Sacramento property had significant occupancy from the McClellan Air Force
Base. The facility was added to the 1995 base closing list. The room nights
generated from this source will decline as the base operations are phased out
through 2002. The actual closing activity and the future use of the facility
should generate some business for the Sacramento motel.
As discussed in more detail in the following section labeled "Legal
Proceedings," the General Partners have agreed to offer the motels for sale and
to present any offer that equal or exceeds 75% of the appraised value for the
approval of the limited partners.
In the opinion of Management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments
which were necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim periods
presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On October 27, 1997 a complaint was filed in the United States District Court,
Eastern District of California by the registrant, the Managing General Partner,
and four other limited partnerships (together with the registrant, the
"Partnerships") as to which the Managing General Partner serves as general
partner (i.e., Super 8 Motels II, Ltd., Super 8 Motels III, Ltd., Super 8
Economy Lodging IV, Ltd. and Famous Host Lodging V, L.P.), as plaintiffs. The
complaint named as defendants Everest/Madison Investors, LLC, Everest Lodging
Investors, LLC, Everest Properties, LLC, Everest Partners, LLC, Everest
Properties II, LLC, Everest Properties, Inc., W. Robert Kohorst, David I.
Lesser, The Blackacre Capital Group, L.P., Blackacre Capital Management Corp.,
Jeffrey B. Citron, Ronald J. Kravit, and Stephen P. Enquist ( the "Everest
Defendants"). The factual basis underlying the plaintiffs' causes of actions
pertained to tender offers directed by certain of the defendants to limited
partners of the Partnerships, and to indications of interest made by certain of
the defendants in purchasing the property of the Partnerships. The complaint
requested the following relief: (i) a declaration that each of the defendants
had violated Sections 13(d), 14(d) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder; (ii) a declaration that certain
of the defendants had violated Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder; (iii) an order permanently enjoining the defendants
from (a) soliciting tenders of or accepting for purchase securities of the
Partnerships, (b) exercising any voting rights attendant to the securities
already acquired, (c) soliciting proxies, and (d) violating Sections 13 or 14 of
the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iv) an
order enjoining certain of the defendants from violating Section 15(a) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (v) an order
directing certain of the defendants to offer to each person who sold securities
to such defendants the right to rescind such sale; and (vi) a declaration that
the Partnerships need not provide to the defendants a list of limited partners
in the Partnerships or any other information respecting the Partnerships which
is not publicly available.
On October 28, 1997 a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of
California, Sacramento County by Everest Lodging Investors, LLC and
Everest/Madison Investors, LLC, as plaintiffs, against Philip B. Grotewohl,
Grotewohl Management Services, Inc., Kenneth M. Sanders, Robert J. Dana, Borel
Associates, and BWC Incorporated, as defendants, and the Partnerships, as
nominal defendants. The factual basis underlying the causes of action pertained
to the receipt by the defendants of franchise fees and reimbursement of
expenses, the indications of interest made by the plaintiffs in purchasing the
properties of the nominal defendants, and the alleged refusal of the defendants
to provide information required by the terms of the Partnerships' partnership
agreements and California law. The complaint requested the following relief: (i)
a declaration that the action has a proper derivative action; (ii) an order
requiring the defendants to discharge their fiduciary duties to the Partnerships
and to enjoin them from breaching their fiduciary duties; (iii) disgorgement of
certain profits; (iv) appointment of a receiver; and (v) an award for damages in
an amount to be determined.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)
On February 20, 1998, the parties entered into a settlement agreement and both
of the above complaints were dismissed. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement
agreement, among other things, the General Partner has agreed to proceed with
the marketing for sale of the properties of the Partnerships, if by June 30,
1998, it receives an offer to purchase one or more properties for a cash price
equal to 75% or more of the appraised value. In addition, the General Partner
has agreed to submit the offer for approval to the limited partners as required
by the partnership agreements and applicable law. The General Partner has also
agreed that upon the sale of one or more properties, to distribute promptly the
proceeds of the sale after payment of payables and retention of reserves to pay
anticipated expenses. The Everest Defendants agreed not to generally solicit the
acquisition of any additional units of the Partnerships without first filing
necessary documents with the SEC. Under the terms of the settlement agreement,
the Partnerships have agreed to reimburse the Everest Defendants for certain
costs not to exceed $60,000, to be allocated among the Partnerships. Of this
amount, the Partnership will pay approximately $12,000 during the year covered
by this report.
