                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           September 30, 2000 and 1999

                                   (Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of CRICO Hotel Associates I, L.P. (the General Partner),
the accompanying unaudited financial statements of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.
P. (the  Partnership)  reflect all  adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring
accruals,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  Partnership's  financial
position as of September  30, 2000,  and the results of its  operations  for the
three and nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999, and its cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for
the interim periods ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily  indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
and with the  instructions  to Form10-QSB.  Certain  information  and accounting
policies  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements
prepared in conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United  States have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to such  instructions.
These  condensed  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the
financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the  Partnership's  annual
report on Form 10-KSB at December 31, 1999.

         Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 2000 presentation.


2.       MORTGAGE PAYABLE

         On December 19, 1997,  the  Partnership  refinanced  with Citicorp Real
Estate,  Inc.  (Citicorp)  the Zero  Coupon  Notes  (Former  Notes)  which  were
originally  issued  in  connection  with the  Partnership's  acquisition  of the
hotels.  The new loan  proceeds  of $8.9  million  were in excess of the  amount
needed to pay the Former Notes of $7,874,369  due as of December 19, 1997.  Such
excess  was used to pay the  costs of  refinancing  and to fund  needed  capital
improvements at the hotels. The new loan bears interest at the rate of 7.72% per
annum and matures January 1, 2008. On that date, a balloon payment in the amount
of  $7,273,441  will be due. In accordance  with the terms of the new loan,  the
Partnership  began paying monthly  installments of principal and interest in the
amount of $67,049 on the first day of each month beginning February 1998. If any
such  monthly  installment  is not paid when due,  the entire  principal  amount
outstanding and accrued  interest  thereon shall at once become due and payable,
at the option of the holder.  Subject to prepayment  terms, as discussed  below,
the  refinancing  of the Former  Notes does not  preclude the future sale of the
hotels, either individually or as a portfolio.

         Under the terms of the new loan,  such loan may be prepaid,  subject to
terms and  prepayment  penalties as set forth in the note. The new loan has been
securitized in a "no lock" program, which permits the prepayment of the new loan
with a 3% premium  during the first three  years,  a 2% premium  during the next
three years, a 1% premium during the next three years, and no penalty during the
final year.  Additionally,  see Note 7 for further  information  concerning  the
acquisition and servicing of this loan.

                                   (Unaudited)

2.       MORTGAGE PAYABLE - Continued

         The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating
$603,442  during the nine months  ended both  September  30, 2000 and 1999.  The
Partnership's balance on this loan was $8,570,040 and $8,666,770 as of September
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.


3.       REAL ESTATE TAX AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS RESERVE ESCROWS

         In addition to the monthly loan  installments,  as discussed above, the
Partnership  also makes monthly payments which are escrowed for estimated annual
real estate  taxes and capital  improvements  reserves  (CIR).  The monthly real
estate  tax  payments  equal  one-twelfth  of the  estimated  yearly  taxes  and
assessments  to be levied on the  hotels,  currently  estimated  as $38,750  per
month.  The servicer of the loan pays such taxes and  assessments  when due from
these escrows.  The monthly CIR payment  totaling  $19,365 is held in escrow and
may be drawn on by the Partnership for ongoing capital improvement  expenditures
and for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment at the hotels. Both
the real  estate  tax and CIR  payments  are due on the same day as the  monthly
principal and interest installments,  commencing February 1, 1998, until the new
loan is paid in full.

         As of  September  30, 2000 and December  31,  1999,  the servicer  held
$67,498  and  $82,400,  respectively,  for real  estate  taxes,  and $82,356 and
$178,010,  respectively,  for capital improvements  reserves.  These amounts are
included in receivables,  capital improvements  reserves and other assets in the
accompanying financial statements.


4.       WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE; ADVANCES

         The working capital reserve of $0 and $172,381 as of September 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively, represents funds held in reserve, initially
established  in an  amount  of not  less  than 1% of  Series  A  gross  offering
proceeds,  which are  maintained  as working  capital for the  Partnership.  The
working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as it
deems appropriate.

         On January 6, 2000, the Partnership advanced $100,000 to the Scottsdale
hotel in the form of a  non-interest  bearing  loan.  On February  4, 2000,  the
Scottsdale hotel repaid $70,000 of this loan; the remaining  $30,000 balance was
repaid on March 1, 2000.

         On June 28, 2000, the Partnership  advanced  $150,000 to the Scottsdale
hotel in the form of a  non-interest  bearing  loan,  which is  scheduled  to be
repaid during the first quarter of 2001.

6.       COMMITMENTS

         a.       Hotel operations management agreements
                  --------------------------------------

                  The  Partnership  entered  into  management   agreements  with
         Bryanston  Group  d/b/a  Buckhead  Hotel   Management   Company,   Inc.
         (Buckhead) in connection  with operation of the hotels.  The management
         agreements  expire between November 2002 and July 2003, and provide for
         a base asset  management fee of 3.5% of gross revenues from operations.
         The management  agreements also call for a marketing fee of 1.5% of net
         room revenues,  a reservation fee of 2.3% of gross revenues from rental
         of hotel guest rooms,  and an incentive  management fee generally equal
         to 25% of net cash flow  available  after  payment of a preferred  cash
         flow return to the Partnership  equal to 11% of the aggregate  purchase
         price  for  Series A  hotels  owned by the  Partnership.  No  incentive
         management  fees were  earned for the first  three  quarters of 2000 or
         1999.

         b.       Operating lease agreements
                  --------------------------

                  The Partnership  assumed an existing lease agreement from Days
         Inns in connection  with the  acquisition of the leasehold  interest in
         the Scottsdale Days Inn. The assumption transfers the rights to operate
         the property on the lease's  existing  terms over the remaining life of
         the lease.  The lease has been extended to expire on December 31, 2003.
         The lease may be renewed at the option of the lessee for an  additional
         five year  period.  Annual  lease  payments are equal to the greater of
         $140,450  or 22% of total room  revenue  and 2.5% of food and  beverage
         revenue.

         Minimum lease payments of $11,704 are payable monthly, with a quarterly
         analysis of the actual amount due. For the three months ended September
         30,  2000  and  1999,   lease   payments   were  $91,585  and  $97,765,
         respectively;  for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
         lease payments were $456,995 and $481,090, respectively.

         c.       Scottsdale and Roseville capital improvements
                  ---------------------------------------------

                  In May 2000,  the  Partnership  approved a two-year,  $930,000
         renovation and capital  improvement  project for the Scottsdale  hotel.
         The  cost  will be  funded  from the  working  capital  reserve  of the
         Partnership  in the amounts of $488,000  and $292,000 in 2000 and 2001,
         respectively,  and  from the  Scottsdale  replacements  reserve  in the
         amounts of $90,000 and $60,000 in 2000 and 2001,  respectively.  During
         the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  $481,955 was funded by the
         Partnership for the Scottsdale  renovation project.  Additionally,  the
         Partnership has approved a $70,000 project to renovate a portion of the
         guest  rooms at the  Roseville  hotel,  to be funded  from the  working
         capital  reserve  of the  Partnership.  During  the nine  months  ended
         September  30,  2000,  $9,529  was  funded by the  Partnership  for the
         Roseville renovation project.

         d.       Ground lease agreements
                  -----------------------

                  The Partnership  leases a portion of the Minneapolis  Days Inn
         property to Vicorp  Restaurants,  Inc.  (Vicorp),  which is operating a
         Baker's Square restaurant on the property. Gross rental income pursuant
         to the lease  agreement with Vicorp,  which is included in interest and
         other income in the accompanying  statements of income, was $14,481 and
         $13,991  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999,
         respectively;  for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
         such gross rental income was $43,443 and $41,973, respectively.

                  The Partnership  leases an adjacent  building on the Roseville
         Days Inn property to Happy Chef Systems, Inc. (Happy Chef). Happy Chef,
         in turn,  subleases  this space to the India Palace,  which  operates a
         restaurant on the property.  During the third quarter 2000,  Happy Chef
         exercised the third and final option on this lease,  thereby  extending
         the term for five additional  years through  September 30, 2005.  Happy
         Chef  continues to sublease  this space to India  Palace.  Gross rental
         income  pursuant  to the lease  agreement  with  Happy  Chef,  which is
         included in interest and other income in the accompanying statements of
         income,  was  $7,500 and  $22,500  for each of the three and nine month
         periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

7.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         In  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Partnership  Agreement,  the
Partnership is obligated to reimburse the General  Partner or its affiliates for
their  direct  expenses  in  connection  with  managing  the  Partnership.   The
Partnership  paid  $10,837  and  $36,866  for the  three and nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000, respectively,  and $7,104 and $31,355 for the three and nine
months ended  September 30, 1999,  respectively,  to the General  Partner or its
affiliates  as  direct  reimbursement  of  expenses  incurred  on  behalf of the
Partnership.   Such  reimbursed   expenses  are  included  in  the  accompanying

         The  annual  amount  of the base  asset  management  fee  earned by the
General Partner and/or its affiliates is equal to 0.50% of the weighted  average
balance of the adjusted partnership  investment during the period, as defined in
the Partnership  Agreement.  The Partnership paid a base asset management fee of
$23,438 and $70,313 for each of the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     The $8.9 million loan originated and  underwritten by Citicorp (see Note 2)
was acquired by CRIIMI MAE Inc., and was included in a  securitization  by it in
June 1998. As master and special servicer for the loan pool, CRIIMI MAE Services
Limited Partnership,  a CRIIMI MAE Inc. affiliate,  will retain a portion of the
cash flow, as well as any  prepayment  penalties.  The Chairman and President of
CRIIMI MAE Inc. are the Chairman and President, respectively, of, and holders of

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
           of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

         CRI  Hotel  Income  Partners,  L.P.'s  (the  Partnership)  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section
contains   information  that  may  be  considered  forward  looking,   including
statements regarding the effect of governmental regulations.  Actual results may
differ  materially from those  described in the forward  looking  statements and
will be affected by a variety of factors  including  seasonality with respect to
the hotel industry, national and local economic conditions, the general level of
interest  rates,   governmental   regulations   affecting  the  Partnership  and
interpretations of those regulations,  the competitive  environment in which the
Partnership operates, and the availability of working capital.

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                          -----------------------------

         The Partnership  expects that the hotels in the aggregate will generate
sufficient cash flow to achieve a positive cash flow after  operating  expenses.
In addition to the periodic  replacement  of fixed  assets,  which are primarily
funded from the capital  improvements  reserve,  the General Partner  determined
that certain capital  improvements  were needed to enhance the  marketability of
the  hotels.  During  1999,  1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership  funded a total of
approximately  $1.4 million from the working  capital  reserve to the hotels for
such capital  improvements,  and the General  Partner intends to fund additional
Partnership monies to the hotels during 2000 and 2001 for further needed capital
improvements.  The General  Partner has approved the  expenditure of $70,000 for
the  renovation of a portion of the guest rooms at the Roseville  hotel.  During
the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  $9,529 was funded by the Partnership
for the Roseville renovation project.  Further, in May 2000, the General Partner
approved a two-year, $930,000 renovation and capital improvement project for the
Scottsdale  hotel.  The cost will be funded from the working  capital reserve of
the  Partnership  in the  amounts of  $488,000  and  $292,000  in 2000 and 2001,
respectively,  and from the  Scottsdale  replacements  reserve in the amounts of
$90,000 and $60,000 in 2000 and 2001, respectively. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2000,  $481,955 was funded by the  Partnership  for the Scottsdale
renovation project.

         The  Partnership's  liquidity  and  future  results of  operations  are
primarily  dependent  upon  the  performance  of the  underlying  hotels.  Hotel
operations  may be  materially  affected by changing  market  conditions  and by
seasonality  caused by variables  such as vacations,  holidays and climate.  The
Partnership  closely monitors its liquidity and cash flow in an effort to ensure
that sufficient cash is available for operating and financing requirements,  and
for possible  distributions to BAC holders.  The Partnership's net cash provided
by operating  activities for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,
was  adequate  to support  investing  and  financing  requirements.  The General
Partner  expects that existing cash resources  along with future cash flows from
the hotels'  operations,  in the aggregate,  will be sufficient to pay operating
expenses  and short term  commitments,  to fund the working  capital and capital
improvements  reserves,  and  to  fund  the  renovations  at the  Roseville  and
Scottsdale hotels as discussed above.  Current liabilities at September 30, 2000
were  $1,077,472,  which  represented  a $132,096  increase  from the balance at
December 31, 1999. This increase  primarily resulted from an increase in accrued
expenses at two of the hotels and a distribution  payable to the BAC holders and
General  Partner,  partially  offset by a decrease in trade payables at three of
the hotels.

Financing
---------

         On December 19, 1997, the Partnership  refinanced the Zero Coupon Notes
which were originally issued in connection with the Partnership's acquisition of
the hotels.  In accordance with the terms of the new loan, the Partnership  made
installments  of principal  and interest  aggregating  $603,442  during the nine
months ended both September 30, 2000 and 1999. The Partnership's balance on this
loan was  $8,570,040  and  $8,666,770  as of September 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively.

Real Estate Tax And Capital Improvements Reserve Escrows
--------------------------------------------------------

         In addition to the monthly loan  installments,  as discussed above, the
Partnership  also makes monthly payments which are escrowed for estimated annual
real estate  taxes and  capital  improvements  reserves.  During the nine months
ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999,  the  Partnership  made  escrow  deposits
aggregating  $354,739 and  $339,851,  respectively,  for  estimated  annual real
estate taxes, and $174,281 and $174,281, respectively, for capital improvements.
As of September  30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,  the servicer  held $67,498 and
$82,400,  respectively,  for  real  estate  taxes,  and  $82,356  and  $178,010,
respectively, for capital improvements reserves.

Working Capital Reserve; Advances
---------------------------------

         The working capital reserve of $0 and $172,381 as of September 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively, represents funds held in reserve, initially
established  in an  amount  of not  less  than 1% of  Series  A  gross  offering
proceeds,  which are  maintained  as working  capital for the  Partnership.  The
working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as it
deems appropriate.

         On January 6, 2000, the Partnership advanced $100,000 to the Scottsdale
hotel in the form of a  non-interest  bearing  loan.  On February  4, 2000,  the
Scottsdale hotel repaid $70,000 of this loan; the remaining  $30,000 balance was
repaid on March 1, 2000.

         On June 28, 2000, the Partnership  advanced  $150,000 to the Scottsdale
hotel in the form of a  non-interest  bearing  loan,  which is  scheduled  to be
repaid during the first quarter of 2001.

                      Results of Operations -- Partnership
                      ------------------------------------

         The  Partnership's net income,  which consists  principally of revenues
from hotel  operations,  decreased  $56,356  during the three month period ended
September  30,  2000  from the  comparable  period in 1999,  primarily  due to a
$34,054 increase in unallocated  operating  income and expenses,  coupled with a
$24,765  decrease  in  gross  operating  income.  The  increase  in  unallocated
operating  expenses  was  primarily  due to a loss on assets  disposed of during
2000,  and an  increase  in general and  administrative  expenses  due to higher
reimbursed  payroll costs.  The decrease in gross operating income was primarily
due to decreases in rooms revenue and  telephone  revenue,  partially  offset by
decreases in rooms expense and telephone expense.

Item 2.           Management's Discussion and Analysis
                    of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

         The  Partnership's  net income decreased  $50,013 during the nine month
period ended  September 30, 2000 from the comparable  period in 1999,  primarily
due to a  $141,584  increase  in  unallocated  operating  income  and  expenses,
partially  offset by a $76,545  increase in gross operating income and a $15,026
decrease in interest expense. The increase in unallocated operating expenses was
primarily  due to a loss on assets  disposed  of during  2000,  an  increase  in
general and  administrative  expenses due to higher reimbursed  payroll costs as
well as a new operating  lease for televisions  and  micro-refrigerators  at the
Scottsdale  hotel,  and an increase in depreciation  and  amortization  expense.
Contributing to the increase in unallocated  operating  expenses was an increase
in marketing expense at the Scottsdale  hotel,  offset by a decrease in building
lease expense,  both as discussed below, and a decrease in property taxes due to
a refund received in 2000. The increase in gross operating  income was primarily
due to an  increase  in  rooms  revenue,  partially  offset  by a  corresponding
increase in rooms  expense.  Contributing  to the  increase  in gross  operating
income were an increase in rental and other revenue and an increase in telephone
revenue net of telephone expenses.

         See the following  discussion for an analysis of each hotel's operating
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

                         Results of Operations -- Hotels
                         -------------------------------

         The hotels'  results of  operations  are  affected  by changing  market
conditions  and by seasonality  caused by variables such as vacations,  holidays
and climate. Based on the hotels' operating budgets, the following months should
provide the highest gross operating income and net cash flow.

   Scottsdale, AZ                 January through May

         The  Partnership's  statements of income include  operating results for
each of the hotels as summarized below.  Gross Operating Income represents total
revenue from rooms, telephone, food and beverage, and rental and other, less the
related  departmental  expenses.  Operating  Income  represents  Gross Operating
Income less unallocated  operating  expenses.  The operating results and average

                      Three Months Ended September 30, 2000
                      -------------------------------------

Clearwater,  Florida:  Gross operating income and operating income for the three
month period ended  September 30, 2000 increased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a two  percent  increase in the average  rate.  Contributing  to the
increase was a decrease in telephone  expense due to a refund  received from the
long distance carrier during the third quarter 2000.

Minneapolis,  Minnesota:  Gross  operating  income and operating  income for the
three month period ended  September 30, 2000  increased  from the same period in
1999  despite a constant  average  rate and  occupancy  level at the hotel.  The
increase  in  operating  performance  at the hotel  during the period was due to
reduced expenses  associated with a student housing contract with the University
of Minnesota.

Plymouth,  Minnesota:  Gross operating income and operating income for the three
month period ended  September 30, 2000 increased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a ten point increase in occupancy, partially offset by a six percent
decrease  in the  average  rate.  The  increase  in  occupancy,  which more than
compensated  for the  decrease  in the  average  rate,  was the  result of a new
contract with a client which  generates more occupied room nights but at a lower
rate. Additional savings were realized in lower telephone and other expense.

Roseville,  Minnesota: Gross operating income and operating income for the three
month period ended  September 30, 2000 decreased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of an eight point  decrease in occupancy,  partially  offset by a seven
percent increase in the average rate. The decrease in occupancy and the increase
in the average rate were both the result of a decrease in  lower-rated  trucking
business.

Item 2.           Management's Discussion and Analysis
                    of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

Scottsdale,  Arizona:  Gross operating income and operating income for the three
month period ended  September 30, 2000 decreased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a nine  percent  decrease in the average  rate,  coupled with a four
point  decrease in  occupancy.  The  decreases in the average rate and occupancy
were the result of competition from new and newly renovated hotels in the area.

                      Nine months Ended September 30, 2000

Clearwater,  Florida:  Gross operating  income and operating income for the nine
month period ended  September 30, 2000 decreased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a three  percent  decrease in the average  rate,  coupled with a two
point  decrease in  occupancy.  The  decreases in the average rate and occupancy
were the result of new competition in the area. The decrease in operating income
was  partially  offset by a decrease  in  property  operations  and  maintenance
expense.

Minneapolis, Minnesota: Gross operating income and operating income for the nine
month period ended  September 30, 2000 increased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a four point  increase in  occupancy  coupled  with a three  percent
increase in the average  rate.  The  increases in occupancy and the average rate
were the result of reduced expenses  associated with the University of Minnesota
student housing  contract,  as discussed above, as well as various  higher-rated
conference contracts.

Plymouth,  Minnesota:  Gross operating  income and operating income for the nine
month period ended  September 30, 2000 increased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a ten point increase in occupancy, partially offset by a two percent
decrease in the average rate, both as discussed above.

Roseville,  Minnesota:  Gross operating income and operating income for the nine
month period ended  September 30, 2000 increased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a six percent  increase in the average rate,  partially  offset by a
three point decrease in occupancy, both as discussed above.

Scottsdale,  Arizona:  Gross operating  income and operating income for the nine
month period ended  September 30, 2000 decreased from the same period in 1999 as
a result of a five  percent  decrease in the average  rate,  coupled  with a one
point  decrease in  occupancy,  both as  discussed  above.  Contributing  to the
decrease in operating  income were an increase in marketing  expense due to full
staffing in the sales  department  compared to the same period last year, and an
increase in general and  administrative  expenses  mainly due to a new operating
lease for televisions and micro-refrigerators. Partially offsetting the decrease
in operating income was a decrease in building lease expense (the building lease
payments are based on a percentage of rental revenues).

PART II.          OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5.           Other Information

         During 1999, a number of investors sold or otherwise  transferred their
Beneficial  Assignee  Certificates (BACs) in the Partnership to other investors.
If more than 5% of the total outstanding BACs in the Partnership are transferred
in  any  one  calendar  year  (not  counting  certain  exempt  transfers),   the
Partnership could be taxed as a "publicly traded  partnership," with potentially
severe  implications  for the Partnership and its investors.  Specifically,  the
Partnership  would be taxed as a corporation  and the income and losses from the
Partnership  would no longer be considered a passive  activity.  From January 1,
1999 through February 15, 1999,  approximately 4.9% of the outstanding BACs were
sold. Accordingly,  to remain within the 5% safe harbor,  effective February 22,
1999, the General  Partner  halted  recognition of any transfers that exceed the
safe harbor limit  through  December 31,  1999.  This halt was lifted  effective
January 1, 2000.

         During 2000, a number of investors sold or otherwise  transferred their
BACs in the Partnership to other investors.  From January 1, 2000 through August
4, 2000,  approximately 4.9% of the outstanding BACs were sold. Accordingly,  to
remain within the 5% safe harbor (as discussed above), effective August 7, 2000,
the General  Partner  halted  recognition  of any transfers that exceed the safe
harbor limit through December 31, 2000.


Item 6.           Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

     a.   None.

     b.   No  reports  on Form 8-K were  filed  with the  Commission  during the
          quarter ended September 30, 2000.

         All other items are not applicable.
