Item 2.    Acquisition of Assets

     On December 1, 1997, Prime Hospitality Corp. ("Prime") completed its merger
with Homegate Hospitality, Inc. ("Homegate"). Pursuant to the merger, Prime has
exchanged 6,513,292 shares of its common stock for the 10,725,000 outstanding
shares of Homegate and Homegate has now become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Prime. The transaction is valued at approximately $125 million based on the
closing price of Prime's common stock as of November 30, 1997 and will be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. The consideration was based on an
arm's length negotiation between the two parties. Factors involved in arriving
at the consideration included analyses of Homegate's projected financial and
operating performance, similar merger and acquisition transactions, market
value and replacement costs for similar hotels, potential synergies between the
companies and other relevant information.
        
     In order to facilitate uninterrupted development of the Homegate hotels,
the Company agreed to provide up to $65.0 million of interim loans to Homegate
pending completion of the merger. The interim loans bore interest at a rate per
annum equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.50%. As of
November 30, 1997, an aggregate amount of $43.9 million of interim loans was
outstanding. For financial statement purposes, the interim loans will be
classified as intercompany loans and eliminated in consolidation.

         With the merger, Prime now owns or operates 133 hotels nationwide,
which includes hotels under its proprietary AmeriSuites, Homegate and Wellesley
Inns trade names as well as a portfolio of upscale full-service hotels. Prime is
rapidly developing its AmeriSuites all-suite hotel brand, with 59 hotels open
and another 47 under development. Prime also intends to aggressively develop the
Homegate chain through strategic alliances with Trammell Crow Residential and
Greystar Capital Partners. The Homegate hotels are high-quality, mid-price
extended-stay hotels, with 12 hotels in operation and another 42 hotels under
development.

         As of year end 1997, Prime expects that it will operate a portfolio of
approximately 150 hotels, with approximately 75 more AmeriSuites and Homegate
properties under development.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Homegate Hospitality, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in Delaware on August
16, 1996. The Company was capitalized with the issuance of 10 shares of common
stock to Extended Stay Limited Partnership ("ESLP"). The Company was formed to
continue the extended-stay lodging facility development, acquisition and
management operations of ESLP, and to acquire, develop and maintain
extended-stay lodging facilities throughout the United States.

ESLP, a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on February 9, 1996, by ESH
Partners, L.P. ("Crow") and JMI/Greystar Extended Stay Partners, L.P.
("Greystar"), as the general partners, and various limited partners. On October
24, 1996, ESLP was merged with and into the Company. Accordingly, the financial
results of ESLP, the predecessor to the Company, for the period from inception
(February 9, 1996) through September 30, 1996, have been included herein. ESLP
had no operations until June 1996.

The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not
include all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial
statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for
the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

On July 25, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement
("Merger Agreement") with Prime Hospitality Corp. ("Prime") pursuant to which
the Company will merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of Prime. Under the Merger
Agreement, Prime will issue 0.6073 shares of its common stock for each of the
10,725,000 outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. The Merger
Agreement is subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company and
other customary terms and conditions. A meeting of the Company's stockholders
has been called for on December 1, 1997 and the merger is expected to be
completed promptly thereafter.

During the third quarter of 1997, the Company acquired three land parcels in
Austin, Texas, and one in Tampa, Florida that are under development for hotel
construction. Additionally, the Company acquired one land parcel in each of the
following cities: Aurora, Colorado; Orlando, Florida; Columbia, Maryland; and
Columbus, Ohio for future development of hotel facilities. On August 12, 1997
the company purchased an existing corporate housing project in Charlotte, North
Carolina. The Company is intending to convert this project to an extended stay
hotel in 1998. The Company must first obtain the proper zoning for this
conversion to occur. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had entered into
agreements, letters of intent, contracts, or other arrangements for the future
purchase of eleven additional land parcels.

Trammell Crow Residential (TCR) and Greystar Realty Services (GRS) are
developing the hotel facilities under an agreement that expires at the earlier
of the completion of the sixtieth hotel or December 31, 1998.


3. LOANS RECEIVABLE

During 1996, the Company advanced $1,900,500 under two promissory notes to an
unrelated party for the purchase of two parcels of land in Austin, Texas (the
"Rutherford and Jolleyville sites"), on which extended-stay hotel facilities are
being developed. During the first quarter and second quarters of 1997, the
Company advanced an additional $400,000 and $793,837, respectively, under the
notes for various development costs. These notes accrued interest at ten percent
and matured on the sooner of November 2000 or five business days after demand.
On July 3, 1997, the Company purchased the Rutherford and Jolleyville sites for
a total purchase price of $508,713, net of the two promissory notes and the
related accrued interest.

4.  NOTE PAYABLE - PRIME HOSPITALITY

In accordance with a commitment letter executed by the Company and Prime
contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and
Prime thereafter executed a loan agreement pursuant to which Prime provided a
$65 million interim secured construction term loan facility ("Construction Term
Loan Facility") to the Company. The Construction Term Loan Facility is

increase to the one month LIBOR plus 5% on the date that is the earlier of (a)

(other than a termination as a result of a breach by Prime). The loan is secured
by a first priority perfected security interest in specified sites. The amount
of any loan under the facility may not exceed 75% of the total project costs of
the related project. The outstanding balance at September 30, 1997 was
$23,894,000.


5. MORTGAGE AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE

will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per
share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for
calculating earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be
excluded. Management believes that adoption of SFAS No. 128 will not have a
material effect on earnings per share.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ORGANIZATION
 
     Homegate Hospitality, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in Delaware on
August 16, 1996. The Company was capitalized with the issuance of 10 shares of
common stock to Extended Stay Limited Partnership ("ESLP"). The Company was
formed to continue the extended-stay lodging facility development, acquisition,
and management operations of ESLP, and to acquire, develop and maintain
extended-stay lodging facilities throughout the United States.
 
     ESLP, a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on February 9, 1996, by
ESH Partners, L.P. ("Crow") and JMI/Greystar Extended Stay Partners, L.P.
("Greystar"), as the general partners and various limited partners. On October
24, 1996, ESLP was merged with and into the Company (see Note 7). Accordingly,
the financial results of ESLP, the predecessor to the Company, for the period
from inception (February 9, 1996) through October 23, 1996, have been included
herein.
 
CONSOLIDATION
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, VPS I, L.P. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Room revenue and other income are recognized when earned, utilizing the
accrual method of accounting.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     The Company capitalizes costs directly related to the acquisition,
renovation or development of property and equipment while maintenance and
repairs are charged to operating expense when incurred. Interest costs during
construction periods are also capitalized. Property and equipment is recorded at
cost. The building and improvements and furniture and fixtures are depreciated
over their estimated useful lives, which are 40 years and 7 years, respectively,
using the straight-line method.
 
DEFERRED LOAN COSTS
 
     Costs incurred in obtaining financing have been deferred and are amortized
over the life of the loan.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
OTHER ASSETS
 
     Other assets include site deposits, pursuit costs, pre-opening costs, and
organization costs. Site deposits have been paid to escrow agents in conjunction
with executed purchase agreements, whereby the Company is considering the
purchase of certain land parcels.
 
     Costs related to the acquisition of property sites are capitalized when it
is probable that a site will be acquired and are reclassified to property and
equipment upon acquisition. In the event the acquisition is not consummated, the
costs are expensed.
 
     Compensation, promotional and other costs relating to the opening of new
properties are capitalized. Amortization is provided using the straight line
method over a twelve-month period.
 
     Organization costs incurred in conjunction with the formation of the ESLP
have been capitalized and are being amortized over sixty months using the
straight-line method.
 
PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
     The pro forma net loss per share was calculated by dividing the net loss by
the pro forma weighted average shares outstanding which assume the initial
public offering occurred as of the beginning of the period.
 
2.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     At December 31, 1996, property and equipment consists of the following:

assets for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
 
     The portion of the loss included in the accompanying financial statements
that was incurred by ESLP prior to its merger into the Company will be included
in a separate partnership tax return. The loss incurred by the Company
subsequent to the merger will be reflected in its corporate income tax return.

ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK TO ESLP PARTNERS
 
     On October 24, 1996, ESLP merged with and into the Company. The Company
issued 6,386,087 shares of common stock to the partners of ESLP in exchange for
their partnership interests. The cost basis of the partnership interests
acquired for stock was $19,267,358.
 
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
     On October 24, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
4,325,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $11.50 per
share (the "Offering"). The proceeds to the Company from the offering were
$45,394,875, net of offering expenses.
 
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     The Company has adopted the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan")
to attract and retain employees and consultants. Under the plan, options and
stock awards may be granted with respect to a total of not more than 1,250,000
shares of common stock, subject to antidilution and other adjustment provisions.
The options generally vest over a four-year period and may be exercised over a
period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to the vesting provisions.
 
     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) in accounting for its
employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the
Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock
on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
 
     On October 24, 1996, the Company granted options to acquire an aggregate of
511,250 shares of common stock to certain employees and Company advisors. The
exercise price for these options is the initial public offering price of $11.50.

employees, 25,000 shares granted to advisors from Greystar, 55,000 shares
granted to advisors from TCR, 45,000 shares granted to advisors from Crow Realty
Investors, L.P., and 50,000 shares granted to advisors from Wyndham Hotel
Company. The options granted to advisors from TCR vested immediately and the
remaining stock options will vest ratably over a four-year period. No options
were exercised, forfeited or expired in 1996.
 
     The effect of applying the fair value method prescribed by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
to the Company's stock based awards to employees would have increased net loss
by $146,000 or $.01 per share. The fair value was estimated using the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model based on the weighted average market price at grant
date of $11.50 and the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free
interest rate of 6.12%, volatility of 10% and dividend yield of 0%.
 
COMMON STOCK AWARDS
 
     In connection with the Offering, the Company granted 13,913 shares of
common stock under the Plan to certain employees and consultants of the Company.
As a result, $64,998 has been recorded to compensation expense and $34,995 has
been capitalized to property and equipment for stock granted to employees. In
addition, $60,007 has been recorded to offering costs for services provided by
consultants in connection with the Offering.

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
     The Merger between Prime and Homegate is intended to be accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Accordingly, the pro forma financial statements have been
prepared assuming the companies have been together for all periods presented.
Shares issued by Prime for the acquisition of Homegate have been assumed to be
outstanding from the inception date of Homegate's predecessor, ESLP (February 9,
1996).
 
     The pro forma financial information contains no adjustments to conform the
accounting policies of the companies because any such adjustments have been
determined to be immaterial. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 financial information to conform them to the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 presentations.
 
     The following adjustments are necessary to reflect the Merger (in
thousands):
 
          The pro forma combined statements of operations for the three and nine
     months ended September 30, 1997, do not reflect nonrecurring costs and
     charges resulting directly from the Merger nor their related tax effect.
     These costs and charges are estimated as follows:

              Total............................................................  $15,758
                                                                                  ======
</TABLE>
 
          Costs to terminate the management agreement represent amounts paid to
     Wyndham Hotel Corporation pursuant to a termination agreement. These
     amounts are: $8.0 million by Prime and $4.0 million by a shareholder of
     Homegate. The amount paid by the shareholder will be reflected as a
     contribution to capital and will be included as a Merger expense.
 
          Transaction related costs primarily represent management's best
     estimate of fees to be paid for investment banking, legal, accounting and
     other professional services.
 
          Transition costs represent management's best estimate of the costs to
     consolidate operations. This plan was formulated by Prime and Homegate
     management in order to more efficiently provide services in markets where
     multiple locations will exist as a result of the Merger. The plan of
     consolidation calls for affected operations to be merged over a period of
     three months. These costs include costs associated with the merging of
     Prime and Homegate operations, including the combining of systems,
     facilities and management resources as well as costs associated with the
     formation of a regional operating and reporting infrastructure. Included
     are $175,000 related to severance and related benefits. These costs
     represent anticipated payments to identified employees, as required by
     their respective employment agreements, who will be terminated after the
     Merger and certain other anticipated payments to be made to certain
     employees.
 
          A. To reflect the exchange of approximately 6.5 million shares of
     Prime Common Stock for all the issued and outstanding shares of Homegate
     Common Stock. Cash paid for fractional shares has been ignored, since the
     amounts are not expected to be material.
 
          B. To adjust pro forma amounts based on historical share amounts,
     converting each outstanding share of Homegate Common Stock into Prime
     Common Stock based on the fixed Exchange Ratio of 0.6073 per share. For the
     nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996,
     the adjusted pro forma share amounts were prorated to reflect the inception
     date of Homegate's predecessor, ESLP, as of February 9, 1996.
 
          C. To eliminate interim loans from Prime to Homegate.
