                   HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Host
     Marriott 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.  However, the condensed  consolidated
     financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the consolidated
     financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the Company's  Annual
     Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 1995.

     In the  opinion of  the  Company, the  accompanying   unaudited   condensed
     consolidated  financial  statements  reflect all  adjustments  necessary to
     present  fairly the  financial  position of the Company as of  September 6,
     1996 and December 29, 1995,  the results of  operations  for the twelve and
     thirty- six weeks ended  September 6, 1996 and September 8, 1995,  and cash
     flows for the  thirty-six  weeks ended  September 6, 1996 and  September 8,
     1995.  Interim  results  are not  necessarily  indicative  of  fiscal  year
     performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

     During the second and third  quarters  of 1996,  the  Company  changed  the
     estimated  depreciable  life and  salvage  value for  certain  large  hotel
     properties to more closely conform with the depreciable  lives used for the
     Company's  other  hotel  properties  and the  industry.  This  resulted  in
     additional  depreciation expense of $6 million (.02 per share) for the 1996
     third quarter and $9 million (.03 per share) year-to-date.

2.   On December 29, 1995, the Company distributed to its shareholders through a
     special tax-free  dividend (the "Special  Dividend") all of the outstanding
     shares  of  common  stock  of  Host  Marriott  Services   Corporation  ("HM
     Services"), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which, as of
     the date of the Special  Dividend,  owned and operated  food,  beverage and
     merchandise  concessions  businesses  at  airports,  on  tollroads  and  at
     stadiums,  arenas  and  other  attractions  (the  "Operating  Group").  The
     condensed  consolidated financial statements for 1995 have been restated to
     reflect the Operating  Group results as discontinued  operations.  Revenues
     for the  Company's  discontinued  operations  totaled $310 million and $799
     million  for the twelve  and  thirty-six  weeks  ended  September  8, 1995,
     respectively.  Cash  used in  discontinued  operations  through  the  third
     quarter of 1996  represents  the 1996  payment of  expenses  related to the
     Special Dividend accrued during 1995.

3.   Revenues  primarily   represent  house  profit  from  the  Company's  hotel
     properties,  net gains  (losses)  on property  transactions,  and equity in
     earnings  (losses) of  affiliates.  House profit  reflects the net revenues
     flowing to the Company as property  owner and  represents  hotel  operating
     results  less  property-level  expenses  excluding  depreciation,  real and
     personal property taxes, ground rent,  insurance and management fees, which
     are classified as operating costs and expenses.

4.   Net loss per common share is computed on a fully  diluted basis by dividing
     net loss by the weighted  average number of  outstanding  common and common
     equivalent shares.  Common equivalent shares and other potentially dilutive
     securities  have  been  excluded  from  the  weighted   average  number  of
     outstanding  shares for the twelve and thirty-six  weeks ended September 6,
     1996 and the twelve weeks and thirty-six  weeks ended September 8, 1995, as
     they are  antidilutive.  The weighted average shares were 194.8 million and
     158.8 million for the twelve weeks ended September 6, 1996 and September 8,
     1995, respectively,  and 183.1 million and 157.9 million for the thirty-six
     weeks then ended, respectively.

5.   The Company has minority  interests in 28 affiliates  that own an aggregate
     of 258  properties,  38 of which are  full-service  properties,  managed by
     Marriott International, Inc. The Company's equity in earnings of affiliates
     was $2 million for the  thirty-six  weeks ended  September 6, 1996, and the
     equity in losses of  affiliates  was $1 million  for the  thirty-six  weeks
     ended  September 8, 1995. For the twelve weeks ended  September 6, 1996 and
     September 8, 1995,  the Company's  equity in earnings of affiliates was not
     significant.

     On June 18, 1996, the Company successfully completed the tender offer for a
     majority of the limited  partnership  units of Marriott Hotel Properties II
     Limited Partnership ("MHP II"), an affiliated partnership of the Company in
     which the Company owned a 1.67% general partner interest, by purchasing 377
     units for approximately $57 million,  or $150,000 per unit. MHP II owns the
     1,290- room New Orleans  Marriott hotel,  the 999-room San Antonio Marriott
     Rivercenter hotel, the 368- room San Ramon Marriott hotel and a 50% limited
     partner interest in the 754-room Santa Clara
                                     - 8 -

     Marriott hotel. As a result of this transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary
     of the Company became the majority  limited  partner in MHP II and the
     Company  consolidated  the MHP II  partnership in the third quarter of
     1996.

     On September 23, 1996 the Company successfully completed the refinancing of
     the MHP II mortgage  debt,  as well as the mortgage debt of the Santa Clara
     Partnership  under  substantially   identical  terms.  The  new  mortgages,
     totalling  approximately  $266  million,  bear  interest at a fixed rate of
     8.22% and mature in 2007.

6.   On March 27,  1996,  the Company  completed  the  issuance of 31.6  million
     shares of common  stock for net  proceeds  of  nearly  $400  million.  From
     December 30, 1995 through  September 6, 1996, .6 million warrants have been
     exercised  and  shares  of  Company  stock  issued.  Under the terms of the
     warrant  agreement,  the warrant  exercise  price  increased from $8.00 per
     share to $10.00 per share on October 9, 1996.  Since September 6, 1996, 6.3
     million  additional  warrants  have been  exercised.  On October 11,  1996,
     approximately  .6 million  warrants  were issued and  outstanding,  and are
     exercisable at $10 per share.

7.   In February 1996, the Company  entered into an agreement with a real estate
     investment  trust (the  "REIT") to sell and lease back 16 of its  Courtyard
     properties  and 18 of its Residence Inn properties for $349 million (10% of
     which would be  deferred).  The sale and  leaseback of the  properties  was
     completed  during  the first  and  second  quarters  of 1996 (two of the 16
     Courtyard  properties remain in escrow pending  resolution of certain title
     issues  which must be  accomplished  by December 31,  1996).  A gain on the
     transactions  of  approximately  $42 million has been  deferred and will be
     amortized over the initial term of the leases.

8.   During  the first  quarter of 1996,  the  Company  acquired  a  controlling
     interest in the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina (1,355 rooms), in which
     it had previously held a five percent interest, for $216 million consisting
     of a cash  contribution  of $10 million and $206  million in assumed  debt.
     Also during the first quarter of 1996,  the Company  acquired a controlling
     interest  in a venture  which owns two hotels in Mexico  City,  Mexico (914
     rooms).  In addition,  the Company  acquired the Toronto  Delta  Meadowvale
     Hotel and Conference Center (374 rooms) for $25 million.

     During the second quarter of 1996, the Company acquired the 254-room Dulles
     Airport Marriott Suites for $29 million and acquired, for approximately $17
     million, a 95% interest in a venture that acquired the 400-room  Pittsburgh
     Hyatt Regency Hotel.  The  Pittsburgh  Hyatt was renovated and converted to
     the Marriott  brand and  re-opened in July 1996.  In addition,  the Company
     acquired  the  354-room  Oklahoma  City  Marriott  for $23  million and the
     256-room Jacksonville Marriott for $21 million.

     During the third  quarter of 1996,  the Company  acquired a majority of the
     limited   partnership   units  of  Marriott  Hotel  Properties  II  Limited
     Partnership,  in  which  it had  previously  held a 1.67%  general  partner
     interest for $270  million,  including $57 million in cash and $213 million
     in assumed debt. In addition, the Company acquired,  through foreclosure, a
     controlling  interest in the 250-room  Newport Beach Marriott  Suites.  The
     Company had purchased an 83% interest in the mortgage  loans secured by the
     hotel for $18 million in the first quarter of 1996.

     During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company has acquired a  controlling
     interest in the partnership that owns the 463-room  Ritz-Carlton in Naples,
     Florida and the  553-room  Ritz-Carlton,  Buckhead in Atlanta,  Georgia for
     $269  million,  including  $45 million in cash and $224  million in assumed
     debt.  The Company  also  acquired the  447-room  Ritz-Carlton  in downtown
     Atlanta for $62 million and the 279-room  Palm Beach  Gardens  Marriott for
     $28 million.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES.  Revenues  primarily  represent  house profit from the Company's hotel
properties,  net gains (losses) on property  transactions and equity in earnings
(losses) of affiliates.  Revenues increased $57 million, or 52%, to $167 million
for the third  quarter of 1996 from $110 million for the third  quarter of 1995.
Year-to-date  revenues rose $145 million, or 45%, to $464 million. The Company's
revenue and operating profit were impacted by:

- -    improved lodging results for comparable full-service hotel properties;

- -    the addition of nine  full-service  hotel properties during 1995 and twelve
     full-service properties through the third quarter of 1996;

- -    a $4 million charge in the 1996 second quarter to write down an undeveloped
     land  parcel to its net  realizable  value  based on  expected  sales value
     (included in "Net gains (losses) on property transactions");

- -    the 1996 sale and leaseback of 16 of the Company's Courtyard properties and
     18 of the Company's Residence Inns;

- -    the 1996 change in the  estimated  depreciable  life and salvage  value for
     certain hotel properties which resulted in additional  depreciation expense
     of $6 million for the 1996 third quarter and $9 million year-to-date;

- -    the 1995 sale and leaseback of 37 of the Company's Courtyard properties;

- -    the 1995 sale of four Fairfield Inns; and

- -    a $10 million  charge in the 1995 second quarter to write down the carrying
     value of certain  Courtyard and Residence Inn  properties  held for sale to
     their net realizable  value. Such charge is included in revenues as part of
     "Net gains (losses) on property transactions."

Hotel  revenues  increased  $61  million,  or 59%, to $164  million in the third
quarter of 1996 and $140 million, or 44%, to $455 million  year-to-date,  as all
three  of the  Company's  lodging  concepts  reported  growth  in room  revenues
generated  per available  room  ("REVPAR").  Improved  results for the Company's
full-service  hotels were driven by strong  increases  in REVPAR for  comparable
units of almost 15% for the 1996 third  quarter  and 12%  year-to-date.  Results
were  further  enhanced  by over a two  percentage  point  increase in the house
profit margin for comparable properties for the quarter and year-to- date. Hotel
sales  increased $145 million,  or 48%, to $445 million for the quarter and $342
million, or 38%, to $1,236 million year-to-date, reflecting the REVPAR increases
for comparable units and the addition of full-service properties during 1995 and
1996. On a comparable basis for the Company's full- service properties,  average
room rates increased 10% for the 1996 third quarter and 8%  year-to-date,  while
average  occupancy  increased  three  percentage  points  for  the  quarter  and
year-to-date, respectively.

The Company's  moderate-price Courtyard properties reported a REVPAR increase of
9% for the quarter and 8% year-to-date.  The increases in REVPAR are primarily a
result  of a 9% and 7%  increase  in  average  room  rates for the  quarter  and
year-to-date,   respectively,   and  a  slight  increase  in  average  occupancy
year-to-date.

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



The Company's  extended-stay  Residence Inns reported  increases in REVPAR of 7%
for the 1996 third  quarter and 6%  year-to-date,  due primarily to increases in
average  room rates of 8% for the quarter  and 6%  year-to-date,  while  average
occupancy decreased slightly. Due to the high occupancy of these properties, the
Company expects future  increases in REVPAR to be driven by room rate increases,
rather than occupancy increases.  However, there can be no assurance that REVPAR
will continue to increase in the future.

During the second quarter of 1996,  the Company  recorded a charge of $4 million
to write down one undeveloped  land parcel to its new net realizable value based
on current negotiations for the sale of this parcel. The previous net realizable
value was based on an  agreement  to sell the parcel to a single buyer which was
terminated.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Operating costs and expenses  principally consist
of  depreciation,  management  fees, real and personal  property taxes,  ground,
building and equipment  rent,  insurance and certain other costs.  The Company's
operating costs and expenses  increased $46 million to $118 million in the third
quarter  of 1996  from $72  million  in the  third  quarter  of 1995,  primarily
representing   increased  hotel   operating   costs,   including   depreciation.
Year-to-date  operating  costs  and  expenses  increased  $114  million  to $315
million.  Hotel  operating  costs  increased $45 million to $110 million for the
third  quarter of 1996 and $109 million to $291 million  year-to-date  primarily
due  to the  addition  of 21  full-service  properties  during  1995  and  1996,
increased  management fees and rentals tied to improved  property  results and a
change in the  depreciable  life and  salvage  value  for  certain  large  hotel
properties  ($6  million  for the  quarter  and $9 million  year-to-date).  As a
percentage of hotel revenues,  hotel  operating costs and expenses  increased to
67% and 64% of  revenues  in the third  quarter of 1996 and  year-to-date  1996,
respectively,  from 63% and 58% of  revenues  in the third  quarter  of 1995 and
year-to- date 1995, respectively, reflecting the impact of the lease payments on
the Courtyard and Residence Inn properties which have been sold and leased back,
and the change in  depreciable  lives and salvage  value for certain large hotel
properties  discussed  above,  as well as the shifting  emphasis to full-service
properties.  Full-service  hotel rooms accounted for 100% of the Company's total
hotel rooms at the end of the third quarter of 1996 versus 70% at the end of the
third quarter of 1995.

OPERATING PROFIT. As a result of the changes in revenues and operating costs and
expenses discussed above, the Company's  operating profit increased $11 million,
or 29%, to $49 million for the third quarter of 1996 and $31 million, or 26%, to
$149 million year-to-date. Hotel operating profit increased $16 million, or 42%,
to $54 million, or 33% of hotel revenues, for the third quarter of 1996 from $38
million, or 37% of hotel revenues,  for the third quarter of 1995.  Year-to-date
hotel operating profit increased $31 million, or 23%, to $164 million, or 36% of
hotel revenues, for 1996 compared to $133 million, or 42% of hotel revenues, for
1995. Across the board, the Company's hotels recorded  substantial  improvements
in comparable operating results. In addition,  several hotels, including the New
York  Marriott  Marquis,  the New York  Marriott  East  Side,  the  Philadelphia
Marriott,  and  the  Miami  Airport  Marriott  posted  particularly  significant
improvements  in  operating  profit for both the quarter and  year-to-date.  The
Company's  Atlanta  properties also posted  outstanding  results due to the 1996
summer Olympics. Additionally, several hotels recently converted to the Marriott
brand,  including the Denver  Marriott Tech Center,  the Vail Marriott  Mountain
Resort and the  Williamsburg  Marriott  recorded strong results  compared to the
prior year. The San Francisco  Marriott had an outstanding  quarter  compared to
the prior year and is now slightly  ahead of its 1995  year-to-date  performance
after a poor 1996 first quarter.

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


CORPORATE  EXPENSES.  Corporate  expenses  remained  the same for the 1996 third
quarter and  decreased $1 million  year-to-date.  As a  percentage  of revenues,
corporate expenses decreased to 5% of revenues in the third quarter of 1996 from
7% in the third quarter of 1995 and 5% of revenues  through the third quarter of
1996 from 8% through the third  quarter of 1995.  This  reflects  the  Company's
efforts to carefully control its corporate  administrative  expenses in spite of
the substantial growth in revenues.

INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense  increased 36% to $53 million in the third
quarter  of 1996  and 25% to $152  million  year-to-date,  primarily  due to the
additional debt of  approximately  $590 million  incurred in connection with the
1995 and 1996 full-service  hotel additions,  partially offset by the net impact
of the 1995 redemptions of Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc. notes.

LOSS FROM CONTINUING  OPERATIONS.  The loss from  continuing  operations for the
third  quarter of 1996 was $2  million,  compared  to a $4 million  loss for the
third  quarter  of  1995.  The  year-to-date  loss  from  continuing  operations
decreased  $6 million to $7 million.  The income tax  provision  included in the
year-  to-date  net  losses  for 1995 and 1996  reflect  the  impact of taxes on
certain  foreign  source income and the  non-deductibility  of losses in certain
state jurisdictions.

NET LOSS.  The  Company's net loss for the third quarter of 1996 was $2 million,
compared to a loss of $5 million in the third quarter of 1995.  The loss for the
third  quarter  of 1995  included  the  impact of $10  million  in  income  from
discontinued   operations  and  an  $11  million   extraordinary   loss  on  the
extinguishment  of debt. The net loss was $7 million for  year-to-date  1996 and
$49 million for year-to- date 1995.  The 1995  year-to-date  loss includes a $19
million loss from discontinued  operations and a $17 million  extraordinary loss
primarily  representing  premiums paid on bond redemptions and the write- off of
deferred  financing  fees and discounts on the debt.  The net loss for the third
quarter of 1996 was $.01 per share and the year-to-date loss was $.04 per share,
compared to losses of $.03 and $.31 per share for the third  quarter of 1995 and
year-to-date 1995, respectively.

EBITDA

The  Company's   consolidated   Earnings   Before   Interest   Expense,   Taxes,
Depreciation,  Amortization  and other non-cash items  ("EBITDA")  increased $37
million,  or 58%, to $101 million in the 1996 third quarter and $71 million,  or
33%,  to $283  million  year-to-date.  The  Company  considers  EBITDA  to be an
indicative   measure  of  the  Company's   operating   performance  due  to  the
significance  of the  Company's  long-lived  assets and because such data can be
used to measure the Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures
and expand its business,  however,  such information should not be considered as
an alternative to net income,  operating  profit,  cash from operations,  or any
other  operating  or  liquidity  performance  measure  prescribed  by  generally
accepted accounting principles.  Cash expenditures for various long-term assets,
interest  expense,  and income taxes have been, and will be,  incurred which are
not reflected in the EBITDA presentation.

Hotel EBITDA increased $28 million,  or 41%, to $96 million in the third quarter
of 1996 and $58  million,  or 26%, to $277  million  year-to-date.  Full-service
hotel EBITDA increased $40 million, or 78%, to $91 million for the third quarter
of 1996 and $92  million,  or 56%, to $256  million  year-to-date.  Full-service
hotel  EBITDA  from  comparable  hotel  properties  increased  24% for the third
quarter of 1996 and 18% year-to-date. Full-service hotel EBITDA increased to 95%
of  hotel  EBITDA  in  the  third  quarter  of  1996  and  92% of  hotel  EBITDA
year-to-date  due to the sale and leaseback of the Company's  remaining  limited
service  hotel  properties  and  the  impact  of  the  1996  full-service  hotel
additions.

CASH FLOWS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company  reported an increase in cash and cash  equivalents  of $446 million
during the thirty-six  weeks ended September 6, 1996. This increase is primarily
due to the issuance of 31.6  million  shares of common stock for net proceeds of
approximately  $400 million and proceeds of approximately  $315 million from the
sale and leaseback of the Company's remaining limited service  properties.  This
increase  is  offset  by  the  use  of  funds  to  acquire  twelve  full-service
properties,  repay debt,  fund  capital  expenditures  and the payment of income
taxes related to prior years. Cash flow from continuing operations decreased $34
million,  to $108 million,  through the third quarter of 1996 primarily due to a
$45  million  payment of taxes  related  to the  settlement  of issues  with the
Internal Revenue Service through the 1990 tax year.

Cash used in investing  activities  from  continuing  operations was $79 million
through the third quarter of 1996,  while cash from  investing  activities  from
continuing  operations was $102 million  through the third quarter of 1995. Cash
used in investing  activities through the third quarter of 1996 includes capital
expenditures of $101 million,  primarily related to renewals and replacements on
existing  properties  and the  construction  of one  urban  Residence  Inn  near
National  Airport  ($7  million  through  the third  quarter of 1996),  and $283
million for twelve  full-service  hotel  acquisitions,  partially offset by $317
million  in  net  sales  proceeds,   principally  from  the   sale/leaseback  of
thirty-four of the Company's Courtyard and Residence Inn properties.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired a controlling interest in
the San  Diego  Marriott  Hotel  and  Marina  (1,355  rooms),  in  which  it had
previously held a five percent interest,  for $216 million  consisting of a cash
contribution  of $10 million and $206 million in assumed  debt.  Also during the
first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired a controlling  interest in a venture
which owns two hotels in Mexico  City,  Mexico (914  rooms).  In  addition,  the
Company acquired the Toronto Delta  Meadowvale Hotel and Conference  Center (374
rooms) in the first quarter of 1996 for $25 million.

During the second  quarter of 1996,  the Company  acquired the  254-room  Dulles
Airport  Marriott  Suites for $29 million  and, for  approximately  $17 million,
acquired a 95% interest in a venture that acquired the 400-room Pittsburgh Hyatt
Regency  hotel,  which  was  renovated,  converted  to the  Marriott  brand  and
re-opened in July 1996.  The Company also  acquired the 354-room  Oklahoma  City
Marriott for $23 million and the 256-room Jacksonville Marriott for $21 million.
The Company  completed the sale and leaseback of 16 of its Courtyard  properties
and 18 of its Residence Inn properties (two of the 16 Courtyard properties

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>


remain in escrow  pending  resolution  of  certain  title  issues  which must be
accomplished by December 31, 1996) for $349 million (10% of which was deferred).

During the third quarter of 1996, the Company successfully  completed the tender
offer  for a  majority  of the  limited  partnership  units  of  Marriott  Hotel
Properties II Limited  Partnership ("MHP II"), an affiliated  partnership of the
Company  in  which  the  Company  owned a 1.67%  general  partner  interest,  by
purchasing 377 units for approximately $57 million, or $150,000 per unit. MHP II
owns the  1,290-room  New  Orleans  Marriott  hotel,  the  999-room  San Antonio
Marriott  Rivercenter  hotel,  the 368-room San Ramon  Marriott  hotel and a 50%
limited partner interest in the 754-room Santa Clara Marriott hotel. As a result
of this  transaction,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the  Company  became  the
majority  limited  partner in MHP II. In the third quarter of 1996,  the Company
consolidated the MHP II partnership.  In addition, the Company acquired, through
foreclosure,  a  controlling  interest in the 250-room  Newport  Beach  Marriott
Suites.  The Company had purchased an 83% interest in the mortgage loans secured
by the hotel for $18 million in the first quarter of 1996. Additionally,  in the
third quarter of 1996, the JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City opened.

Also  during the fourth  quarter of 1996,  the  Company  acquired a  controlling
interest  in the  partnership  that owns the  463-room  Ritz-Carlton  in Naples,
Florida and the 553-room  Ritz-Carlton,  Buckhead, in Atlanta,  Georgia for $269
million  consisting  of a cash  contribution  of $45 million and $224 million in
assumed debt. In addition,  the Company  acquired the 447-room  Ritz-Carlton  in
downtown  Atlanta for $62 million and the 279-room Palm Beach  Gardens  Marriott
for $28 million.

Cash from  financing  activities  from  continuing  operations  was $417 million
through the third quarter of 1996, while cash used in financing  activities from
continuing  operations was $61 million  through the third quarter of 1995.  Cash
from  financing  activities  through  the third  quarter  of 1996  includes  the
issuance of 31.6 million  shares of common stock for net proceeds of nearly $400
million and the issuance of debt of $29 million  related to the  acquisition  of
the two hotels in Mexico City. The proceeds from the equity offering, along with
the proceeds from the 1996 sale and leaseback of the Courtyard and Residence Inn
properties,  will be utilized to acquire  full-service  hotel properties and for
general corporate purposes.

During 1996,  6.9 million  warrants  have been  exercised  and shares of Company
stock issued  (including the exercise of 6.3 million of warrants since September

the warrants are exercisable at $10.00 per share;  prior to October 8, 1996, the
warrants were exercisable at $8.00 per share.
