ITEM 2 - ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On July 9, 2000, the Company completed a transaction with Prime Hospitality
Corp. ("Prime") in which it sold to Prime its leasehold interest in 24 Sumner
Suites hotels. The Company's interest in the leases relating to these hotels was
assigned to Prime, and Prime assumed all of the Company's obligations under the
leases in exchange for $1.6 million. As a part of that transaction, the Company
assigned to Prime its interest in a $14 million security deposit securing the
Company's guaranty of the leases, in exchange for $14 million. The Company
leased to Prime its remaining three Sumner Suites hotels on terms similar to
those contained in the Company's lease with Hospitality Properties Trust with an
initial minimum annual rental amount of $2.9 million. The Company also agreed to
construct one 124-room AmeriSuites hotel for Prime on a site owned by Prime at a
construction and development price of $76,500 per room, less Prime's cost of the
land, and the Company agreed to construct two AmeriSuites hotels on sites
already owned by the Company (which two hotels may be exchanged upon completion
for two of the 24 Sumner Suites hotels that are included in the leasehold
interests sold to Prime). The Company will also provide other services to Prime
in the future, including reservation services for a fee based on a percentage of
net room revenue. The 27 Sumner Suites hotels currently operating will be
converted by Prime to AmeriSuites hotels within the next few months.

The $15.6 million gross proceeds of the transaction have been applied to (1)
fund an escrow account in the amount of $13.9 million to complete the two
AmeriSuites hotels to be built on the Company's two sites, (2) pay off
furniture, fixture and equipment loans on the three properties leased to Prime
in the amount of $1.6 million, and (3) to pay approximately $98,000 of the
closing costs on the transaction. In connection with the transaction, the
Company repurchased from Prime $2.5 million of the Company's outstanding senior
subordinated notes and convertible subordinated debentures at a cost of $1.6
million.

 (E)  Estimated additional expenses incurred in providing the additional
      reservation services. The estimated annual additional expense is expected
      to be approximately $1.0 million per year based upon the current number of
      hotels.

 (F)  The estimated construction costs on the 124 unit hotel to be developed for
      Prime on a site currently owned by them is $7.5 million, and it is assumed
      that the hotel will be completed within one year of the date of this
      transaction.

 (G)  General and administrative expenses are expected to be approximately $1.0
      million less in the first year due to the reduction in staffing and other
      expenses associated with the 27 Sumner Suites no longer operated and
      administered by the Company.

 (H)  Elimination of rent expense incurred on all the Sumner Suites hotels.

 (I)  Elimination of depreciation on the vehicles on which titles were
      transferred at the three properties leased to Prime.

 (J)  Elimination of interest expense on the FF&E loans paid off and the Company
      debt repurchased from Prime.

 (K)  Estimated interest earned on the $13.9 million funds escrowed to construct
      the two hotels on sites owned by the Company; this would be non-recurring
      after the first year subsequent to the date of this transaction.

 (L)  The balance of the deferred gain on sale/leaseback recognized upon the
      closing of this transaction, reduced by the related charge-offs and costs
      associated with the recognition of the previously deferred gain. This will
      be non-recurring.

 (M)  Base rent income from the lease of the three hotels to Prime.

 (N)  Income tax estimated at 38% of the net pre-tax effect.

 (O)  The estimated after-tax gain resulting from the repurchase of the
      Company's $2.5 million debt from Prime at a discount.
