</TABLE>

Room and other hotel revenues of the two hotels increased for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 due to
increases in occupancy and average room rates.


Operating and related expenses of the hotels consist of the following costs
and expenses - hotel operations, salaries and benefits, management and
franchise fees and advertising and reservation contributions:

    Hotel operations and salaries and benefits represent all of the
operational and administrative costs of operating the hotels, including all
payroll, supply, utilities, maintenance and miscellaneous expenses.  These
expenses increased primarily due to the increase in the number of rooms sold
during the first three months of 1996 compared to 1995.


<PAGE>

    Management and franchise fees increased due to the increase in room and
other hotel revenue for the same periods.  These fees represent amounts paid
to Signature Inns, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership, for property
management, accounting services and franchise fees.  

    The Partnership contributes to a cooperative advertising and reservation
fund administered by the general partner.  Contributions increased due to the
increase in room and other hotel revenue for the period.

Interest expense represents interest on hotel mortgage loans and capitalized
equipment leases on the hotels.  Interest expense increased primarily due to
the scheduled amortization reduction of the notes.  



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The general partner believes that cash generated from the operation of the two
hotels, along with existing cash balances, will provide adequate liquidity for
the Partnership to meet its operating needs during the next twelve months.
