PRIME MOTOR INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP             
AND SUBSIDIARY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

In the opinion of the General Partner, the accompanying interim unaudited 
financial statements of Prime Motor Inns Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
and its 99% owned subsidiary, AMI Operating Partners, L.P. ("Operating 
Partners"), referred to collectively as the "Partnerships", contain all 
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to 
present fairly the financial position of the Partnerships as of September 30,
1996, their results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, are 
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  
Unless cash flows from operations are sufficient to pay operating expenses and
debt service, and create required reserves, the Partnerships may not be able 
to continue as going concerns.

Information included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 
has been derived from the audited balance sheet in the Partnership's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "1995 Form 10-K").  These interim 
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and other information included in the 1995 
Form 10-K.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

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 dates of the financial statements and 
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership 
and Operating Partners.  Operating Partners operates under a 52/53 week fiscal 
year (1995 was a fifty two week year and 1996 is a fifty three week year).  
Operating costs of the Partnership are reflected in the consolidated statements 
of operations as other general and administrative expenses. All material 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months 
or less when acquired.
     
Property and Equipment
     
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair market value.  
Expenditures for improvements and major renewals are capitalized.  Expenditures 
for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of the asset, 
are expensed as incurred.  For financial statement purposes, provision is
made for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the 
lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the related 
leases.  For federal income tax purposes, accelerated methods are used in 
calculating depreciation.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121, 
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets", which is effective for 
years beginning after December 15, 1995, with earlier adoption encouraged.  
The Partnership elected early adoption of SFAS No. 121 in 1995.  In accordance 
with this new pronouncement, the Partnerships review for impairment and 
recoverability of, primarily, property and equipment whenever events or changes

3. OPERATIONS OF THE INNS:
     
Winegardner & Hammons, Inc. ("W&H") manages the operations of the Inns (the 
"Inns") pursuant to a management agreement with Operating Partners.  At 
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Partnerships had approximately 
$113,000 and $61,000, respectively, in receivables from an entity controlled 
by W&H which manages certain of the Inns' lounges.

OTHER ASSETS:

The components of other assets are as follows:

Amortization of debt acquisition costs charged to expense was $121,000 and 
$145,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Amortization of franchise acquisition costs charged to expense was $46,000 and
$105,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

5. DEBT

The Tranche A portion of the Priming Loan was fully drawn in July, 1994.  
Therefore, no additional debt for capital improvements has been incurred by 
Operating Partners.  All capital improvements and refurbishment's made during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were funded from cash restricted for
acquisition of property and equipment (the "FF&E Reserve").  

During the first quarter of 1996, Operating Partners borrowed $1,600,000 from 
the revolving credit portion of the Priming Loan, defined as the Tranche B Loan.
This borrowing funded operating expenses that could not be paid from operating 
revenues during the first quarter.  Operating Partners repaid the entire 
$1,600,000 of the Tranche B Loan from excess working capital in the second 
and third quarters of 1996, as required under the Priming Loan.       

Long-term debt consists of the following:

Unamortized discount on the Mortgage Notes was $170,000 and $204,000 at 
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.



ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition

The Partnership derives its income from its interest in Operating Partners, 
whose income currently is derived from the operations of the Inns.  As part
of its 1992 plan of reorganization, Operating Partners restructured its
Mortgage Notes under the Restated Loan Agreement and arranged for a Priming
Loan to fund necessary capital improvements and to finance operating
deficiencies.  The ability of the Partnership to pay operating expenses and
debt service, and to create required reserves, depends upon the ability of 
Operating Partners to increase future cash flows from operations.  Unless cash 
flows from operations are sufficient, the Partnerships may not be able to 
continue as going concerns.  It is the intention of the Partnerships to continue
to operate the Inns as going concerns.  On September 7, 1996, Operating Partners
entered into a purchase agreement for the sale of the Moravia Inn.  On or 
before December 6, 1996, the buyer must give notice of intent to close or may
terminate the purchase agreement without penalty.  Under limited circumstances
and at the cost of the buyer, the contract may be extended.  Upon consummating
the sale, the net sales proceeds will be utilized to reduce the outstanding 
principal balance of the Priming Loan. 

The Partnerships' investment in the Inns continues to be subject to the risks
generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including those relating 
to the uncertainty of cash flow to meet fixed obligations, adverse changes in
national economic conditions, adverse changes in local market conditions, 
construction of new hotels and/or the franchising by Holiday Inn of competitor
hotels, changes in interest rates, the availability of financing for operating 
or capital needs, changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses,
adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, acts of God (which 
may result in uninsured losses), condemnation and other factors that are beyond 
the control of the General Partner, the Partnership, Operating Partners or W&H.

Results of Operations

Operations in the third quarter of 1996 generated net income of $980,000, 
compared to net income of $406,000 generated during the third quarter of 1995.
The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $1,170,000, as 
compared to a net loss of $918,000 in the first nine months of 1995.  
Excluding the lease settlement proceeds of $1,025,000 recognized in the first
quarter of 1995, the net loss from operations decreased by $773,000 in the first
nine months of 1996, from $1,943,000 in the first nine months of 1995 to 
$1,170,000 in the first nine months of 1996.
  
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 
to $14,534,000 from $13,815,000 in the corresponding quarter of 1995. Excluding
the $1,025,000 in lease settlement proceeds recognized in the first quarter of 
1995, and the other income recognized in the first nine months of each year, 
total revenues from operations ("Operating Revenues"), which consist of lodging,
food and beverage revenues, increased in the first nine months of 1996 to 
$36,825,000, as compared to $35,345,000 in the previous nine months of 1995.
The increase in Operating Revenues is primarily due to the increase in lodging
revenues from the achievement of higher average daily room rates (ADR) at the 
Inns.  

The following table compares lodging revenues, occupancy percentage levels and 
ADR, for the periods indicated:

    ADR                      $71.44        $67.06         $68.86        $64.39 

</TABLE>

The ADR increased 6.5%, or $4.38, from a $67.06 ADR in the third quarter of 
1995 to a $71.44 ADR in the third quarter of 1996. For the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996, the ADR increased 6.9%, or $4.47, from $64.39 in the first 
nine months of 1995 to $68.86 in the first nine months of 1996.  This has been 
accomplished because the Inns have replaced higher volume, lower ADR guests and 
have retained market segments that are willing to pay higher room rates. 
Operating Partners has been able to attract and maintain the higher rated 
market segments because of the continued upgrades and maintenance at the Inns, 
along with conducting effective internal marketing and sales promotions. While 
the Partnerships anticipate that the Inns can continue to improve their mix of 
market segments, and thereby increase ADR and improve profit margins, there 
can be no assurance as to whether this will be realized, due to, among other 
things, competitive pressures in the marketplace

Occupancies for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were up slightly, to 
72.4%, from 72.2% in the three months ended September 30, 1995. However, 
occupancies decreased 1.1 percentage points, to 62.1% in the first nine months 
of 1996, as compared to 63.2% during the first nine months of 1995. The decline 
in occupancy is attributable to two main factors.  First, occupancies decreased 
2.5 percentage points in the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to the harsh 
winter weather in the first quarter of 1996, as compared to the previous year.
Second, the Inns removed higher volume, lower rated ADR market segments (such 
as airline crews and tour groups) to provide available rooms during higher 
demand periods for the market segments with higher ADR.  Therefore, it has 
been difficult to significantly increase the occupancy levels of the Inns, and
Operating Partners believes it will continue, due to the lack of increases in
demand where the Inns are located.  Contributing to current and future 
competition are certain competitor changes, which include conversions of 
competitor hotels to be Holiday Inns and the opening of new hotels in certain 
markets where the Inns are located.
 
Food and beverage revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 
1996 and 1995 were relatively flat.  In the third quarter of 1996, food and 
beverage revenues were $2,444,000, which was $1,000 less than the corresponding 
quarter of 1995.  Overall, in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, 
food and beverage revenues increased to $6,997,000 as compared to $6,962,000 
in the first nine months of 1995.  The primary reason for this increase is from
revenues generated from meeting room facilities and the  amenities provided to 
guests utilizing these facilities.  These guests are the higher rated market 
segments that the Inns have been attracting, who use the meeting room 
facilities at the Inns.  Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 
1996, beverage revenues have increased, relating to the change in mix of 
market segments at the Inns, to those guests that are more likely to use the 
lounge facilities at the Inns.

Direct operating expenses increased $179,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1996, to $10,503,000, from $10,324,000 during the corresponding quarter of 1995.
A portion of this increase is in lodging expenses, such as room amenities, 
travel agent commissions and guest supplies, which are incurred in servicing 
the higher rated market segments. In addition, other lodging and food and 
beverage expenses increased during the third quarter of 1996 over the same 
quarter of 1995, representing inflationary increases in labor and food costs.
Increased marketing costs during the third quarter of 1996 reflect increases 
in marketing and sales efforts. The utility costs decreased during the third 
quarter of 1996 as compared to the same quarter of 1995, as a result of milder 
weather in the third quarter of 1996 than in the third quarter of 1995, which 
was reflected in reduced electricity consumption.  Utility costs increased for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the first nine months 
of 1995, as a result of the severe winter weather in the first quarter of 1996
as compared to the milder weather in the first quarter of 1995.  Other 
direct operating costs increased, due in part because certain costs, such 
as credit card commissions, Inn management fees and franchise fees are based 
upon, and increase with, revenues. In addition, inflationary increases in 
administrative labor and expenses, plus employment cost increases, have 
contributed to the year over year increase in other direct operating costs.
Depreciation and amortization decreased in the third quarter of 1996 from the
third quarter of 1995, due to the original debt acquisition costs having been
fully amortized in the first quarter of 1995, and certain of the Inn's original
franchise acquisition fees also becoming fully amortized at the end of 1995.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table represents the changes in cash and cash equivalents for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

    <S>                                           <C>
    Net cash provided by operating activities     $  2,922,000
    Net cash used in investing activities           (1,255,000)
    Net cash provided by financing activities                -
    Net increase in cash and cash equivalents     $  1,667,000

</TABLE>

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $2,922,000 are a result of the 
increased revenues and improved margins in the quarter and nine months ended 
September 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995.  Historically, the 
Inns have experienced negative cash flows from operations in the first quarter
of each year and increased cash flows from operations during the second and 
third quarters of each year.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1,255,000 for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1996, resulting from cash utilized for capital improvements 
and refurbishment's of $1,081,000, and the net increase in restricted cash of 
$174,000.  The net increase in restricted cash included an increase in the 
FF&E Reserve of $176,000 (the funding to the FF&E Reserve of $1,757,000 at 5% 
of revenues, plus interest earned on the account, exceeded capital expenditures 
of $1,581,000, which were funded from the FF&E Reserve), net of a decrease of 
$2,000 in the interest reserve and tax escrow accounts.

Operating Partners borrowed $1,600,000 under the Tranche B portion of the 
Priming Loan for operating cash deficiencies during the first quarter of 1996 
and repaid the entire $1,600,000 of the Tranche B Loan from excess working 
capital during the second and third quarters of 1996.

The Partnerships anticipate that their future earnings, together with the 
advances under the Priming Loan, will enable the Partnerships to pay all 
operating expenses, service debt, create required reserves and satisfy the 
current requirements under the HII franchise agreements.  However, while the 
Partnerships' budgets and capital plans reflect their present best estimates 
of future events, those events are beyond the control of the Partnerships, the 
General Partner and W&H, and no assurances can be given that the Partnerships 
will have the liquidity to meet future operating and capital commitments.  
Further, the "Holiday Inn" franchise of ten of the Inns will expire on June 30, 
1997 and the franchises of two additional Inns will expire on December 31, 1997.
Before the expiration of the franchise for any "Holiday Inn" property, the 
property is inspected by HII and that inspection forms the basis for a Property 
Improvement Plan ("PIP"), the completion of which is a condition to the renewal 
of the franchise for the property.  Prior to December 31, 1995, HII had 
inspected and prepared PIP's for ten of the Inns, whose franchises expire in 
1997.  During the second quarter of 1996, HII inspected and prepared PIP's for 
the remaining two hotels whose franchises expire in 1997, (though HII had 
previously indicated that it might not renew those franchises and, accordingly,
had not prepared PIP's for those Inns).  Operating Partners' current estimate of
the cost of the capital expenditures of the PIP's for the twelve Inns, could 
be in the range of $15,000,000, although Operating Partners believes that the 
scope of work and related costs are subject to negotiation.  Accordingly, 
Operating Partners is evaluating, for each Inn, the relative benefits and costs 
(including the franchise renewal/application fee and the PIP costs) of renewing 
the "Holiday Inn" franchise for the Inn, operating the Inn under other 
franchises that may be available, and operating the Inn without a franchise
affiliation.  In addition, Operating Partners is evaluating the improvements 
and expenditures included in each PIP in order to identify those items that 
Operating Partners believes will enhance the Inn's ability to compete in its 
market and will add value to the Inn, and those improvements or expenditures 
that Operating Partners believes to be less necessary or to add little value, 
and has begun negotiating with HII the scope of work included in each PIP and 
the length of time that will be required to complete such improvements.
Generally, in connection with the renewal of the franchise for an Inn, 
Operating Partners will have one year, which may be negotiable, from the 
franchise expiration date to complete the capital improvements included in the 
PIP.  It is anticipated that those capital improvements will be financed 
partially from the FF&E Reserve and from additional financing, if available.  
Operating Partners has been actively investigating financing possibilities. 
However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, 
or that the Partnerships can obtain financing. If financing is not available and
Operating Partners is unable to defer the timing and costs of the PIP's, the 
Inns may have to change franchise affiliations or become independent hotels. 
Further, the Priming Loan and Restated Loan Agreements require prior approval 
by the Lenders of any franchise changes, capital expenditures or additional 
financing.
