Explanatory Notes

(1)  The loans  require fixed  payments of principal  and interest  resulting in
     partial principal amortization over the term of the loan with the remaining
     principal due at maturity. In addition, one of the loans permits additional
     annual  prepayments of principal of up to $1.3 million  without  penalty at
     the borrower's option.


(2)  Under  some  of  these  loans,  the  lender  receives  additional  payments
     representing  additional  interest for participation in available cash flow
     from  operations  of the  property  and the  proceeds,  in excess of a base
     amount, arising from a sale or refinancing of the property.


(3)  The lease is a triple net lease of 17 hotels  under  which the lessee  pays
     all costs  associated  with the  operation  of the hotels,  including  real
     estate taxes, insurance,  utilities, services and capital expenditures. The
     initial term of the lease expires on December 31, 2010, and can be extended
     for up to five, five-year terms at lessee's option. Rent payments under the
     lease consist of base rent and additional rent based on the amount by which
     the  aggregate  operating  revenue for any given year exceeds the aggregate
     operating  revenue of the twelve months ended  September 30, 1996.  (4) All
     variable rate loans are based on 30-day LIBOR and reprice monthly.

The RLH  operating  lease is  discussed  in  detail  under  "Real  Estate  Under
Long-Term Operating Lease" as the sole asset group in that class.

The  loans to  Borrower  A  represent  five  first  mortgage  notes and a second
mortgage residual note which are cross-collateralized by over 1.1 million square
feet of office properties located in Seattle,  WA and are personally  guaranteed
by the borrower.  The loans mature on December 31, 1999. In addition to the five
primary  assets,  additional  collateral  includes  second or third mortgages on
three  office  buildings  also  located in Seattle.  The  subordinated  loan was
acquired at a  substantial  discount to its face value.  Of the total  principal
amount,  $97 million was allocated to the first  mortgage  positions,  while $54
million  was  allocated  to a residual  note.  The $97  million  first  mortgage
amortizes on a 25-year schedule and bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 125
basis points.  The second  mortgage  bears interest at the rate of 7%. The loans
are prepayable at any time without penalty.

The  non-recourse  loans to Borrower B mature on April 30, 2002,  are secured by
office  properties  containing 1.1 million square feet located in San Diego, CA.
The loans consist of a $74.3 million  variable rate senior  mortgage and a $34.8
million subordinate mortgage bearing interest at 12.0%. The loans are prepayable
subject to certain yield maintenance provisions on the subordinate mortgage.

The loans without substantial prepayment protection primarily represent variable
rate senior mortgages or  opportunistic  loans/loan  participations  acquired at
discounts  to face  values,  which  would  result in gains upon  repayment.  The
properties  underlying  the long-term  operating  lease may be purchased at fair
market value by the lessee in limited circumstances, including catastrophic loss
or condemnation of the property.

long-term  operating  lease under which the Trust  receives a fixed  annual base
rental revenue and 7.5% of annual  operating  revenue for the underlying  leased
hotels in excess of a defined base amount.  Variable rate loan  investments  are
generally based on 30-day LIBOR and reset monthly.

the non-recourse  loans to Borrower A and Borrower B. The Company has all rights
as a mortgage  holder and under the uniform  commercial code with respect to the
properties  underlying these mortgages in the event of a default.  The Company's
rights  with  respect  to the  property  underlying  these  properties  are  not
subordinated to any other lender of borrowed money.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

         In response to  comments  received  from the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission,   the  Trust  hereby  amends  the  Unaudited  Pro  Forma   Condensed
Consolidating  Financial Statements included in Item 7. Financial Statements and
Exhibits of the Current Report by:

         a.       Deleting the  information the first two paragraphs in Note 3 -
                  Other  Transactions  with Affiliates:  under the caption "1996
                  Share  Incentive  Plan"  and  inserting  in lieu  thereof  the
                  following:

         The Trust amended and restated its stock option plan to provide a means
of incentive compensation for officers, key employees, Trustees, consultants and
advisors,  Stock options,  restricted stock awards and other performance  awards
may be granted under the Starwood Financial Trust 1996 Share Incentive Plan (the
"Plan").  Under the  amended  Plan,  up to a maximum of 9.0% of the  outstanding
Class A Shares on a fully-diluted basis, as adjusted for subsequent issuances of
Class A Shares,  are reserved for issuance  under the Plan. All grants of shares
under the Plan, other than automatic grants to non-employee Trustees, will be at
the sole  discretion  of the  Board of  Trustees  or a  specifically  designated
sub-committee  of such Trustees.  Approximately  14,963,057  options to purchase
Class A Shares at $2.50 per share that are immediately  exercisable were granted
to the  Advisor  under  the  Plan  upon  consummation  of  the  Recapitalization
Transactions  and future  grants may be made to the Advisor or  employees of the
Trust in the future.

         An  independent  financial  advisory firm  estimated the value of these
options  at  date  of  grant  to  be  approximately  $0.40  per  share  using  a
Black-Scholes  valuation model. In the absence of comparable  historical  market
information  for the Trust,  the advisory firm utilized  assumptions  consistent
with  activity of a comparable  peer group of  companies  including an estimated
option life of five years,  a 27.5%  volatility  rate and an estimated  dividend
rate of 8.5%.  Options  issued  to  employees  will be  accounted  for using the
intrinsic  method and,  accordingly,  no earnings  charge will be reflected  for
options issued to direct  employees  since the exercise price  approximates  the
concurrent  exchange  transaction price at date of grant.  Options issued to the
Advisor  will be accounted  for under the option value method and,  accordingly,
result  in a  charge  to  earnings  upon  consummation  of the  Recapitalization
Transaction equal to the number of options  allocated to the Advisor  multiplied
by the estimated value at consummation. The charge of approximately $6.0 million
will be reflected in the Trust's first quarter 1998 financial results,  however,
such charge has been excluded from the pro forma financial information presented
in this note, as it represents a  non-recurring  charge.  Future  charges may be
taken to the extent of additional option grants,  which are at the discretion of
the Board of Trustees.

         b.       Deleting  the   information   under  the  caption  "Note  4  -
                  Adjustments  to Pro Forma  Consolidating  Balance  Sheet:" and
                  inserting in lieu thereof the following:

         (A) In  accordance  with the terms of the  Contribution  Agreement,  at
closing, cash adjustments were made to reflect cash activity from the January 1,
1998  valuation  through  closing.  The  pro  forma  adjustment  represents  the
following (in thousands):


         Cash due from Mezzanine for cash activity..................$    (2,998)
         Cash due from SOF IV for cash activity.....................     (7,315)
         Cash due to SOF IV for additional fundings and loans.......     11,418
         Basis adjustment on Mezzanine assets.......................        832
         Basis adjustments on SOF IV assets.........................     86,974
                                                                       ---------
                                                                       $ 88,911
                                                                       =========

         Assets acquired from Starwood  Mezzanine have been reflected using step
acquisition accounting at Predecessor basis adjusted to fair value to the extent
of post-transaction third-party ownership. Assets acquired from SOF IV have been
reflected at their fair market value.

         c.       Deleting  the  first  paragraph  under the  caption  "Note 5 -
                  Adjustments   to  Pro   Forma   Consolidating   Statement   of
                  Operations:" and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

          (a) Represents the adjustment to recognize  revenue on the contributed
real estate related loan investments as necessary to reflect the amortization of
the  increased  basis  described  in Note 4 (A).  Such premium was computed on a
loan-by-loan  basis and is to be amortized  using the effective  interest method
over  the  remaining  contractual  term to  maturity  adjusted  for  anticipated
prepayments, where appropriate.
