General

     MOA operates principally in the economy limited service segment of the 
lodging industry.  As a result, its average room rates tend to be lower than 
the average room rates of full service lodging facilities.  However, due to 
the limited nature of the public space and ancillary services provided by 
limited service motels, the Company's expenses tend to be lower than those of 
full service lodging facilities.  The profitability of the lodging industry in 
general is significantly dependent upon room rental rates and occupancy rates.  
Due to the fixed nature of a relatively high portion of the Company's 
expenses, changes in either room rates or occupancy rates result in 
significant changes in the operating profit of the Company's motels. 

Between January 1, 1997 and March 31, 1998, the Company has acquired or 
assumed management control pending acquisition and sold a number of motels in 
various transactions summarized as follows:

     Total revenues consist principally of motel operating revenues.  Motel 
operating revenues are derived from room rentals and ancillary motel revenues 
such as charges to guests for food and beverage service, long distance 
telephone calls, fax machine use and from vending machines.  Other revenues 
include interest income, distributions on partnership interests in excess of 
the Company's basis in such partnerships and other miscellaneous income.  
Total revenues decreased to $25,659,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 from $26,344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of 
$685,000 or 2.6%. 

     Motel revenues decreased to $25,438,000 for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 from $26,085,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a 
decrease of $647,000 or 2.5%.  The motel revenues for motels owned during both 
periods decreased approximately $986,000 which was partially offset by an 
increase of $339,000 for acquired and divested motels, since January 1, 1997.  
Motel revenues for motels owned during both periods decreased 3.8%.  The 
decrease in motel revenues for motels owned during both periods was 
attributable principally to a decrease in the occupancy percentage.  The 
occupancy percentage decreased from 60.77% for the three months ended March 
31, 1997 to 55.76% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Management 
attributes the decline in occupancy principally to two factors: i) a 
significant increase in the supply of motel rooms in the market in which
the company competes and ii) the negative impact of the much publicized 
weather effect of El Nino. The ADR for the motels owned during both periods 
increased to $41.36 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $39.74 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $1.62 or 4.1%.  The 
increase in ADR is reflective of management's efforts to increase room rates 
at its lodging facilities.  REVPAR for motels owned during both periods 
decreased to $24.98 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $25.90 
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease of $0.92 or 3.6%.  
The acquired and divested motels had an occupancy percentage of 49.98%, an 
ADR of $41.80 and REVPAR of $22.00 for the period which they were owned by 
the Company in 1998. 

     Motel operating expenses include payroll and related costs, utilities, 
repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance, linens and other operating 
supplies.  Motel operating expenses decreased to $14,936,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 from $15,328,000 for the three months ended March 
31, 1997, a net decrease of $392,000 or 2.6%.  Approximately $610,000 of the 
net decrease is attributable to the cost of operating the motels owned during 
both periods.  The cost of operating motels owned during both periods 
decreased to $14,518,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 
$15,128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $610,000 
or 4.0%.  Motel operating expenses for motels acquired and divested since 
January 1, 1997 increased to $418,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 from $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Motel operating 
expenses as a percentage of motel revenues remained same at 58.7% for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 
1997.  Motel operating expenses as a percentage of motel revenues for the 
motels owned in both periods decreased to 58.4% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 from 58.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Motel 
operating expenses as a percentage of motel revenues for the acquired and 
divested motels was 71.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. 

     Marketing and royalty fees include media advertising, billboard rental 
expense, advertising fund contributions and royalty charges paid to 
franchisors and other related marketing expenses.  Marketing and royalty fees 
decreased to $1,800,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 
$1,951,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $151,000 
or 7.7%.  The marketing and royalty fees for motels owned during both periods 
decreased to $1,751,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 
$1,923,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $172,000 
or 8.9%.  For the motels owned during both periods, marketing and royalty fees 
as a percentage of room revenues decreased to 7.6% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 from 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The 
decrease in marketing and royalty fees is attributable to a reduction in 
franchise fee due to the decline in room revenues on which most such fees 
are based and the reduction in rates for certain contractual franchise fees.  
Marketing and royalty fees for motels acquired and divested since January 1, 
1997 increased to $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 
$28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. 

<PAGE>

     Corporate general and administrative expenses are segregated by the 
Company into three separate areas:  Management Company Operations, 
Construction and Development and Other.  Included in the Management Company 
Operations, which is the division responsible for the motel operations, are 
the costs associated with training, marketing, purchasing, administrative 
support, property related legal and accounting costs.  The major components of 
these costs are salaries, wages and related expenses, travel, rent and other 
administrative expenses.  The general and administrative expenses for the 
Management Operations decreased $54,000 to $1,243,000 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998 from $1,297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1997, a decrease of 4.2%.  The general and administrative expenses 
associated with Construction and Development decreased $239,000 from $560,000 
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $321,000 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998.  Other General and Administrative expenses increased 
$608,000 to $935,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $327,000 
for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase is due to legal costs 
incurred in connection with a lawsuit that the Company initiated against 
ShoLodge Franchise Systems, Inc.,  the franchiser of the Shoney's Inn 
franchises operated by the Company.  As a percentage of total motel operating 
revenues, Management Operations general and administrative expenses was 4.9% 
for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 5.0% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1997. 

    Depreciation and amortization increased to $4,048,000 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998 from $3,636,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1997, a net increase of $412,000 or 11.3%.  Approximately $315,000 of the net 
increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the corporate 
operations. 

     Net operating income decreased to $2,376,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 from $3,245,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a 
decrease of $869,000 or 26.8%.  The decrease in net operating income included 
a decrease of $104,000 in net motel revenues (motel revenues less motel 
operating expenses and marketing and royalty fees).  Of the $104,000 decrease 
in net motel revenues, $204,000 resulted from the motels owned during both 
periods or a decrease of 2.3%.  Net motel revenues for motels acquired and 
divested since January 1, 1997 increased $100,000.  Net operating income as a 
percent of total revenues was 9.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
as compared to 12.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. 

     Interest expense decreased to $7,616,000 for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 from $7,863,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease 
of $247,000.  

     Net loss increased to $2,913,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 from $2,400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary uses of its capital resources include debt service, 
capital expenditures (primarily for motel refurbishment), working capital; in 
addition on a discretionary basis the Company utilizes its capital resources 
for the development and acquisition of motel properties. 

The Company's debt service requirements consist of the obligation to make 
interest and principal payments on its outstanding indebtedness.  As of March 
31, 1998, the Company had principal repayment obligations of $65,575,000, 
$4,771,000 and $14,373,000 during the remainder of the fiscal year ending 
December 31, 1998 and during the fiscal years ending December 31, 1999 and 
2000, respectively.  Management has been told by investment bankers that the 
cash flows derived from the properties securing the maturing mortgage loans 
will be sufficient to allow for the refinancing of such mortgage debt given 
the current interest rate environment.  As of May 14, 1998 however, the Company 
had not definitively arranged for such refinancing and therefore is subject to 
the risk that the credit market could be adversely affected by some unforeseen 
event.  Although the Company does not have lines of credit outstanding, 
management believes sufficient resources exist to meet its normal liquidity 
needs.

The Company's capital expenditure requirements principally include capital 
improvements and refurbishment of its lodging facilities as part of its 
ongoing operating strategy to provide well-maintained facilities.  The Company 
made capital expenditures (exclusive of acquisitions and development of 
properties) of $1,635,000 and $1,334,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 and 1997, respectively.  In addition, as of March 31, 1998, the Company 
had $1,287,000 of cash restricted for future refurbishment of motel 
properties, in accordance with certain debt agreements.  Management is not 
aware of any unusual required level of future capital expenditures necessary 
to maintain its existing properties. 

At March 31, 1998, six properties were under various stages of development for 
the Company.  Management anticipates approximately $16,000,000 will be 
expended to purchase these motels upon their completion during the next twelve 
months. In addition, the Company anticipates drawing upon its $150,000,000 
secured loan facility with CS First Boston to finance a portion of the 
acquisition price for these properities.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents decreased 
$3,650,000.  This decrease consisted of $775,000 of funds utilized in 
investing activities and $2,580,000 of funds used in financing activities and 
$295,000 of funds used in operations.  Net investing activities of $775,000 
include: $2,567,000 of cash utilized for motel development; $1,635,000 
expended on refurbishment of existing properties, and a change in cash 
restricted for refurbishment of $61,000 offset by $3,488,000 of cash provided 
from the sale of investment properties and collections on mortgage and other 
notes receivable.  Cash used in financing activities includes: $3,609,000 of 
cash utilized to repay indebtedness; and $105,000 of cash used for deferred 
financing costs and other items offset by $1,134,000 from proceeds from notes 
payable. 

Impact of Year 2000

The year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using 
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the 
Company's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize 
a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could 
result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of 
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process 
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company, in the normal course of operations, is in the process of replacing 
its primary financial accounting system that was impletmented in 1991.  The 
new system will be year 2000 compliant. The Company has made an assessment of 
its other financial systems and believes other than for a few necessary 
minor modifications, that they are year 2000 compliant. There can be no 
guarantee that the systems of other companies such as banks and suppliers on 
which the Company relies upon to transact business in the normal course will 
be year 2000 compliant which would possibly cause hardships for the Company.
