         Limited Partnership ("Realty") and SLC Operating Limited Partnership
         ("Operating" and, together with Realty the "Partnerships"),
         respectively, and therefore, the historical financial statements of
         Realty and Operating are consolidated with those of the Trust and the
         Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references
         herein to the "Companies" refer to the Trust and the Corporation, and
         all references to the "Trust" and the "Corporation" include the Trust

                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
                                   (UNAUDITED)

         Effective January 1, 1995, Starwood Lodging Trust (the "Trust") and
Starwood Lodging Corporation (the "Corporation" and collectively, "the
Companies") consummated the previously announced reorganization (the
"Reorganization") with Starwood Capital Group, L.P. and its affiliates
(collectively "Starwood Capital"). On July 6, 1995, the Trust and the
Corporation completed a public offering (the "Offering") of 11,787,500 paired
shares. Net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $245.7 million together
with proceeds from a financing facility and cash on hand were used as follows:
approximately $206.5 million was used to repay existing indebtedness, including
$10 million which was used by Realty to purchase the first trust deed on
Operating's Milwaukee hotel, and approximately $53.8 million was used for the
acquisition of the 462-room Sheraton Colony Square in Atlanta, Georgia and the
224-room Embassy Suites in Tempe, Arizona. On September 20, 1995, the Companies
acquired the 652-room Doral Inn in New York, New York for $43.3 million. On
October 31, 1995, the Companies acquired the 364-room Terrace Garden Inn and
180-room Lenox Inn for $27.9 million and $9 million, respectively. Both
properties are located in Atlanta, Georgia. On November 30, 1995, the Companies
acquired the 206-room Calverton Holiday Inn in Beltsville, Maryland, for $11.5
million.

         Due to the impact of the Offering and the acquisitions of properties
acquired, the historical results of operations and earnings per share are not
indicative of future results of operations and earnings per share. The following
Unaudited Combined and Separate Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995 gives effect to the Offering and the related
acquisitions of the Sheraton Colony Square in Atlanta, Georgia, the Embassy
Suites in Tempe, Arizona, the Omni Europa in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and the
GHI Properties as of the beginning of the year. Pro forma results include the
results of the other properties acquired in 1995 (the Doral Inn in New York, New
York - acquired on September 20, the Terrace Garden and Lenox Inn in Atlanta,
Georgia - acquired on October 31, and the Holiday Inn in Beltsville, Maryland -
acquired on November 30) from their respective dates of acquisition. The pro
forma information is based upon historical information and does not purport to
present what actual results would have been had such transactions, in fact,
occurred at the beginning of each period presented, or to project results for
any future period.

To the Partners of
Guaranteed Hotel Investors 1985, L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Hotel operations of
GUARANTEED HOTEL INVESTORS 1985, L.P. (a Delaware Limited Partnership) as of
December 31, 1995, and the related statements of Hotel operating revenue and
expenses and Hotel cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements have been prepared for inclusion in Form 8-K of SLT
Realty Limited Partnership (SLT) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as described
in Note 1 between Guaranteed Hotel Investors 1985, L.P. (GHI) and SLT dated
October 27, 1995, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of GHI's
assets and liabilities or results of its operations or its cash flows.

In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets of Hotel operations of GHI as of December 31, 1995, and
the results of the Hotel operations and the Hotel cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995



(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On October 27, 1995, SLT Realty Limited Partnership (SLT), a Delaware limited
partnership, entered into an agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Guaranteed
Hotel Investors 1985, L.P. (GHI or the Partnership), a Delaware limited
partnership, to purchase substantially all of the operating hotel property
assets of GHI which represent three hotels located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida;
Tampa, Florida; and Irving, Texas (together the Hotels or Hotel Properties).

The accompanying financial statements reflect only the Hotel operations of GHI
including all normal assets, except cash, and liabilities related to the Hotel
operations. The buyer, under the Purchase Agreement, will primarily acquire only
the Hotel real properties and certain related assets (see Note 6). Pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, certain assets and liabilities, such as cash,
receivables, and payables, will not be sold. Also, the accompanying financial
statements do not include any purchase accounting adjustments which may be
caused by the closing of the Purchase Agreement.
The Partnership's assets and liabilities not involved in the hotel operations
have been excluded.

Each hotel property includes a restaurant; one of the hotels operates the
restaurant within the hotel, whereas the other two hotels lease their respective
restaurants to third party operators. During 1995, the Hotels were managed by
Doubletree Partners, an affiliate of Doubletree Hotels Corporation, and were
operated as Doubletree Guest Suites which provide guest rooms and group meeting
room facilities. Management, accounting and data processing fees paid by GHI to
Doubletree Partners for the year ended December 31, 1995 approximated $940,000.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting and include only those assets, excluding cash, and liabilities and
those revenues and expenses that relate to the Hotel operations of GHI;
therefore, they are not intended to represent the overall financial position or
results of operations of GHI. The preparation 


                                      F-18
<PAGE>   22
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

         DEPRECIATION

Depreciation on buildings, building improvements, furniture and equipment is
provided using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated
useful lives:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                                   <C>       
                  Buildings and improvements                          5-34 years
                  Furniture and equipment                             2-15 years
</TABLE>

(3) CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS:

The Hotels lease telephone systems from various telephone vendors which expire
in 1996. The obligations under capital lease at December 31, 1995, totaled
approximately $112,000. Future minimum lease payments under capital lease for
1996 total $120,000, including interest of $8,000.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, amortization expense and accumulated
amortization for equipment under capital leases was $47,000 and $824,000,
respectively.

(4) INCOME TAXES:

GHI is not directly subject to income taxes; therefore, no income tax provision
has been allocated to the Hotel operations.

(5) CONTINGENCY:

During 1994, Doubletree Partners spent $1,425,000 for purposes of management
assumption, brand conversion, and renovation of the Hotels in connection with
the management agreements between Doubletree Partners and GHI. The management
agreements provide that if GHI sells the Hotels during years one through five of
the agreements and Doubletree Partners is not retained by the new owners as
manager of the Hotels, all of the $1,425,000 is to be reimbursed to Doubletree
Partners as a sale termination fee. In connection with the proposed sale of the
Hotels, SLT has agreed to assume this contingent liability.

(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENT - INVESTOR APPROVAL OF SALE OF HOTELS:

GHI entered into an agreement on October 27, 1995, to sell, subject to the
consent of GHI's investors and the satisfactory completion of due diligence by
SLT, fee simple title to the Hotels and certain other assets used in the
operations of the Hotels, as specified in 


                                      F-19
<PAGE>   23
the Purchase Agreement, for a cash payment of $73,250,000. On March 15, 1996, a
majority of GHI's investors approved the sale of the Hotels to SLT.

The purchase price was based upon bids received on behalf of the Partnership by
an independent investment banking firm from unaffiliated third parties. SLT was
awarded the bid conditional on all requirements outlined in the Purchase
Agreement.

In addition to the Hotel Properties, title to other assets will pass to SLT at
the close of the sale, including:

         Equipment, trade fixtures, inventory, supplies, furnishings and other
         items of tangible personal property situated on or about or used in
         connection with Hotel Properties.

         Motor vehicles used in connection with the Hotel Properties.

         To the extent assignable, governmental licenses and permits pertaining
         to the current ownership.

         Deposits in the form of cash or receivables, including, without
         limitation, credit card receivables, held by GHI as of the Closing Date
         (a date within 15 days after satisfaction or waiver of all of the
         requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, but in no event later
         than April 30, 1996) with respect to the rental of guest rooms and
         meeting rooms and food service for periods of time from and after the
         Closing Date.

CONTACTS:         STANDARD CONTACTS



   STARWOOD LODGING COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF THREE DOUBLETREE ALL-SUITE HOTELS

         LOS ANGELES, California (April 30, 1996) -- Starwood Lodging Trust (the
"Trust"), a real estate investment trust, and Starwood Lodging Corporation (the
"Corporation"), a hotel management and operating company, whose shares are
paired and trade together on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:HOT), today
announced they have completed the previously announced acquisition of a
portfolio of three Doubletree Guest Suites hotels for $73.25 million. The
properties contain a total of 822 two-room suites, and are located in Irving,
Texas (DFW Airport), Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (Cypress Creek) and Tampa, Florida
(Westshore/International Airport). The aggregate purchase price equates to
$89,000 per room, or approximately 75 percent of estimated replacement cost.

         The Doubletree at DFW Airport is located two miles south of DFW Airport
and contains 308 suites, 6,000 square feet of meeting space and three food and
beverage outlets. The Doubletree Cypress Creek is located approximately fifteen
miles north of downtown Ft. Lauderdale and contains 254 suites, 12,000 square
feet of meeting space and a 120-seat restaurant. The Doubletree Westshore is
located five miles west of downtown Tampa and two miles south of Tampa
International Airport, and contains 260 suites, 6,000 square feet of meeting
space and a restaurant and lounge.

         Steven R. Goldman, Senior Vice President of Starwood Lodging
Corporation, stated, "We are pleased to add three high quality, all-suite
properties to Starwood Lodging's hotel portfolio. Hotel demand in Dallas
continues to grow, and DFW airport is now among the top performing airport
markets in the country. The Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa markets have rebounded well
from the recession of several years ago. With this acquisition, Starwood Lodging
now has interests in full service hotels in four major airport markets including
San Francisco and Philadelphia. We believe that this helps to diversify our
overall portfolio; moreover, the all-suite product has great appeal to a broad
customer base and is well positioned to take advantage of improving conditions
throughout the hotel industry."

         Including the three Doubletree hotels and additional properties under
contract, the Trust and the Corporation will have acquired interests in
seventeen full-service hotels aggregating approximately 5,700 rooms at a total
acquisition cost of approximately $400 million since the completion of their
$271 million public offering in July 1995.

         The Trust, which conducts all of its business as general partner of SLT
Realty Limited Partnership, is the only hotel REIT whose shares are paired with
a hotel operating company, the Corporation. With this purchase, the Trust will
own equity and mortgage interests in 57 hotels containing 13,600 rooms located
in 24 states and the District of Columbia. The equity portfolio will include 32
franchise locations, such as Embassy Suites, Marriott, Sheraton, Radisson,
Holiday Inn, Doubletree, Days Inn and Best Western, as well as 14 independent
properties.
