Item 2.    Acquisition of Assets

         On March 6, 1996, Prime Hospitality Corp. (the "Company") acquired 18
hotels, consisting of 16 Wellesley Inns and two other limited-service hotels for
approximately $65.1 million in cash. The acquisition enables the Company to
consolidate the ownership and establish full control over its proprietary brand
Wellesley Inns with all 30 Wellesley Inns now owned and operated by the Company.
The acquisition is intended to provide the Company with significant new
opportunities to maximize the value of its brand.

         The hotels are located in Florida, New York, New Jersey, Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania. In 1995, the hotels generated $24.3 million of
revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and
management fees of $10.4 million.

         The acquisition price was comprised of $60.4 million to purchase the
first mortgage on the 18 hotels with a face value of approximately $70.5 million
and $4.7 million to purchase the interests of the three partnerships which owned
the hotels. The Company utilized its available cash to fund the acquisition.
Approximately $1.9 million of the total purchase price was paid to a partnership
in which a general partner is the father of David A. Simon, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with the transaction, the
Company also terminated its management agreements and junior subordinated
mortgages related to the 18 hotels.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of
         Wellesley I, L.P., Meriden Hotel Associates, L.P., Multi-Wellesley
         Hotels, L.P., Biscayne-Clifton Associates, LeJeune Associates, Fort
         Pierce Associates and Daytona Associates:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Wellesley I, L.P.,
Meriden Hotel Associates, L.P., Multi-Wellesley Hotels, L.P., Biscayne-Clifton
Associates, LeJeune Associates, Fort Pierce Associates and Daytona Associates
(collectively, the "Partnerships") as of December 31, 1995 and the related
combined statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended. These
combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
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 combined financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

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

As discussed in Note 5 to the combined financial statements, in March 1996, all
assets of the Partnerships were sold to Prime Hospitality Corp.

         existing first mortgage notes payable to a group of financial
         institutions ("the Holders") and $13,425,000 in new second mortgage

         hotels owned by the Wellesley I and Multi-Wellesley, L.P.'s and leased
         it back to these partnerships under a long-term lease. The land was
         subsequently sold to these partnerships (see Note 3). Effective
         December 1, 1992, the Suffern Wellesley Inn was transferred to the
         Biscayne-Clifton partnership in exchange for the assumption of mortgage
         debt.

         As reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements of
         Wellesley I, L.P., Meriden Hotel Associates, Multi-Wellesley Hotels,
         L.P., Biscayne-Clifton Associates, LeJeune Associates, Fort Pierce
         Associates and Daytona Associates (collectively, the "Partnerships")
         and described in Note 3, a significant portion of the Partnerships'
         debt matured in December 1995. On March 6, 1996, the Holders, the
         Partnerships and Prime entered into an agreement in which Prime
         purchased the first mortgage notes of the Holder and the Partnerships'
         interests in the 18 hotels for $65,100,000 in cash (see Note 5).

         Principles of Combination
         -------------------------
         The combined financial statements include the accounts of the
         Partnerships for the year ended December 31, 1995. The combined
         financial statements do not reflect the sale of these hotels to Prime.

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------
         The preparation 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.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents
         -------------------------
         All investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered
         to be cash equivalents.

         Restricted Cash
         ---------------
         Restricted cash is cash held by the servicer, Kleinwort Benson Limited,
         for payment of principal and interest on the first mortgage notes (Note
         3) and to provide for the

                                       -7-
<PAGE>   9
         replacement and maintenance of buildings and equipment at the Hotels in
         accordance with the provisions of the management agreement.

         Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
         ----------------------------------------------
         The property, equipment and leasehold improvements of the Partnerships
         are reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements at
         cost, less valuation reserves and net of accumulated depreciation and
         amortization. Depreciation and amortization have been provided on a
         straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes as follows-

                  Buildings -- 31.5 years 
                  Furniture and equipment -- 4 to 7 years 
                  Leasehold improvements and refurbishing -- 10 years

         Par Operating Equipment
         -----------------------
         Par operating equipment (primarily linen supplies) is reflected at 80%
         of its original cost. All replacements of par operating equipment are
         expensed when purchased.

         Income Taxes
         ------------
         In accordance with the applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations,
         the income tax effects of profits and losses are attributable to the
         individual partners and are not reflected in the Partnerships' combined
         financial statements.

</TABLE>

         The first mortgage notes were assumed by the Partnerships in connection
         with the acquisition of the Hotels by the Partnerships from PMI. PMI
         had guaranteed a portion of the first mortgage notes payable to the
         Holders and also guaranteed the payment of interest at a specified
         rate. In September 1990, PMI filed for protection under Chapter 11 of
         the Bankruptcy Code. PMI's bankruptcy was an event of default under the
         loan agreement and consequently the loan agreement was restructured. On
         July 31, 1992, PMI emerged from its Chapter 11 reorganization and
         merged with and into Prime. As part of the reorganization, the Holders
         received notes (the "Prime Notes") in full satisfaction of all claims
         against PMI. Effective December 1, 1992, the Holders, Prime and the
         Partnerships entered into a series of related agreements to restructure
         the debt on the Hotels (the "Restructuring Agreements"). The first
         mortgage notes matured on December 15, 1995 and the Partnerships were
         unable to satisfy this obligation. In connection with the acquisition
         of the Hotels, the first mortgage notes were purchased by Prime and the
         remaining mortgages held by Prime were cancelled (see Note 5).

         Interest on the first mortgage notes ranged from LIBOR (5.44% at
         December 31, 1995) plus 1.7% to LIBOR plus 1.8%. The first mortgage
         notes were secured by the Partnerships and substantially all of the
         assets of the Hotels.

         Interest on the second mortgage notes ranged from 8.2% to 9.5% and was
         generally payable based on the available cash flow of the Hotels as
         defined in the Restructuring Agreements.

         The subrogation notes were issued to Prime and were increased whenever
         the cash proceeds of the Prime Notes were utilized to pay obligations
         of the Partnerships to the Holders. In addition, the notes were
         increased from proceeds of the Prime Notes that were set aside to fund
         certain capital expenditures, to fund debt service and for unpaid
         interest on the notes. The subrogation notes accrued interest at the
         same rate as the first mortgage notes and were due on December 15,
         1995.

                                       -9-
<PAGE>   11
         In December 1992, the land under the Hotels was sold to two of the
         partnerships for new third mortgage notes in the aggregate amount of
         $7,894,000. The third mortgage notes accrued interest at rates ranging
         from 10.8% to 11.85% and were scheduled to mature on March 31, 2088.
         Interest was payable monthly to the extent of available cash flow, as
         defined. No principal was due until maturity.

         The Restructuring Agreements were accounted for in accordance with
         Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 15, "Accounting by
         Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings." Accordingly,
         the remaining excess of the face amounts of the second mortgage note
         and related accrued interest payable over the restructured principal
         balance of $2,942,000 was amortized as a reduction of interest expense
         in 1995.
