                         SERVICO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   GENERAL

The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Servico, Inc. ("Servico"),
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (owning 76 hotels) and partnerships (owning 10
hotels) in which Servico exercises control over the partnerships' assets and
operations (collectively, the "Company"). An unconsolidated entity (owning 1
hotel) in which the Company exercises significant influence over operating and
financial policies is accounted for using the equity method. The accounts of two
hotels which the Company managed for third party owners during the six months
ended June 30, 1998, are not included in the consolidation. However, management
fee income received from these hotels is included in other revenues. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are the same
as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three and six months then ended. While management believes that
the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading,
these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

2.   DEFERRED COSTS

Deferred franchise, financing and other deferred costs of $23.7 million and
$16.4 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, are included
in other assets, net of accumulated amortization of $3.6 million and $2.5
million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, which is computed
using the straight-line method over the terms of the related franchise, loan or
other agreements. The straight-line method of amortizing deferred financing
costs approximates the interest method.

3.   LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company borrowed $59.7 million,
primarily secured by mortgage notes on nine hotels. The funds were used to
purchase four hotels (included in the nine above) for an aggregate purchase
price of $35.4 million; to fund escrow accounts of $10.8 million for future
renovations on the four hotels purchased; and $13.5 million for the acquisition
of an additional 14 hotels. The Company assumed an additional $58 million of
existing mortgage notes as part of the acquisition of the 14 hotels, which
acquisition was completed in June 1998. Additionally, the Company repaid $161.6
million of long-term obligations (including the $58 million assumed) with the
proceeds of the issuance of the securities discussed in Note 4 below. 

4.   PREFERRED REDEEMABLE SECURITIES

In June 1998, the Company issued $175 million of Convertible Redeemable Equity
Structured Trust Securities ("CRESTS"). The CRESTS bear interest at 7% and are

price of $21.42 per share. The sale of the CRESTS generated $168.5 million in
net proceeds, all of which were used to repay existing debt.

8.   OTHER EVENTS



On March 20, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement with a privately
owned hotel company to merge and form a new publicly owned company. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company's existing shareholders will receive one
share of the merged company's common stock for each share of Servico stock held
by them (approximately 21,000,000 shares). The owners of the private company
will initially receive 6,000,000 shares of common stock of the merged company
and an additional 1,400,000 shares upon the completion of construction of six
hotels during 1999, subject to adjustment based on the trading price of
Servico's common stock during a defined period prior to the merger. The merged
company will own and manage approximately 140 hotels, (136 of which will be
owned) with more than 26,000 rooms and operate in 35 states and Canada. The
merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with
Servico being the acquiring company, and is expected to close during the third
quarter of 1998 subject to customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory
approvals and approval by the Company's shareholders.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Management believes that results of operations in the hotel industry are best
explained by four key performance measures: occupancy levels, average daily
rate, revenue per available room ("RevPAR") and earnings from operations before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins. These
measures are influenced by a variety of factors including national, regional and
local economic conditions, the degree of competition with other hotels in the
area and, in the case of occupancy levels, changes in travel patterns and
weather conditions. The demand for accommodations is also affected by normally
recurring seasonal patterns and most Company hotels experience lower occupancy
levels in the fall and winter (November through February) which may result in
lower revenues, lower net income and less cash flow during these months.

The Company's business strategy includes the acquisition of underperforming
hotels and the implementation of the Company's operational initiatives and
repositioning and renovation programs to achieve revenue and margin
improvements. Such initiatives typically require a twelve to thirty-six month
period before newly acquired underperforming hotels are repositioned and
stabilized. During this period, the revenues and earnings of these hotels may be
adversely affected and may negatively impact consolidated RevPAR, average daily
rate, and occupancy rate performance as well as consolidated earnings margins.

During 1997 and 1998, the Company purchased a total of 30 hotels (28 subsequent
to September 1997) containing a total of 6,430 guest rooms and acquired 100%
ownership in three hotels owned by partnerships in which the Company previously
had majority ownership. The Company intends to sell four of the purchased
hotels, containing a total of 526 rooms. The average purchase price of the
remaining 26 hotels was $40,557 per room and the Company expects to spend
approximately $12,000 per room in renovations and capital assets for a total
cost per room of $52,557. The Company believes this cost per room is
significantly below replacement cost, which the Company estimates to be between
$75,000 and $90,000 per room for new construction of hotels with similar
facilities in the respective markets. The Company's operating results were
materially impacted by these acquisition and renovation activities. In order to
better illustrate underlying trends of the Company's hotel base, the Company
categorizes its hotels as either stabilized ("Stabilized Hotels") or
repositioned ("Reposition Hotels") and tracks their respective performance. The
Stabilized Hotels currently include 54 hotels which were acquired by the Company
through 1997 which, based on management's determination, have achieved
normalized operations. The Reposition Hotels currently include two of the hotels
acquired prior to 1997, 12 hotels acquired during 1997 and 18 hotels acquired
during 1998, all of which are still the subject of management's post acquisition
repositioning and renovation initiatives. Since 28 of the hotels acquired during
1997 and 1998 were acquired subsequent to September 1997, the performance
measures for the Reposition Hotels are not comparable to the prior period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 (THE "1998 QUARTER") AS COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 (THE "1997 QUARTER")

At June 30, 1998, the Company owned 85 hotels, managed two hotels for third
party owners and had a minority investment in one hotel compared with 56 hotels
owned, three managed for third party owners and a minority investment in one
hotel at June 30, 1997. Occupancy and average daily rate for owned hotels for
the 1998 Quarter was 72.4% and $73.44, respectively, compared with 70.9% and
$72.52, respectively, for the 1997 Quarter.

RevPAR for the Stabilized Hotels increased 3% during the 1998 Quarter to $53.38
from $51.82 during the 1997 Quarter. The occupancy level and average daily rate
for the Stabilized Hotels during the 1998 Quarter was 73.5% and $72.63,
respectively, compared with 71.1% and $72.89, respectively, for the 1997
Quarter. The increase in occupancy for the Stabilized Hotels during the quarter
was attributable to successful yield management and marketing strategies
primarily in those hotels that have recently completed major renovations.
RevPAR, occupancy and average daily rate for the Reposition Hotels during the
1998 Quarter were $52.49, 68.8% and $76.29, respectively. The Company is
currently implementing new marketing strategies and operational improvements at
all of the Reposition Hotels and expects to complete significant renovations at
many of these hotels during 1998. In addition, the Company is currently
negotiating to obtain new franchise affiliations at certain of the properties.

Revenues are comprised of room, food and beverage and other revenues. Room
revenues are derived from guest room rentals, while food and beverage revenues
primarily include sales from the Company's hotel restaurants, room service and
hotel catering. Other revenues include charges for guests' long-distance
telephone service, laundry service, use of meeting facilities and fees earned by
the Company for services rendered in conjunction with managed properties.
Revenues for the Company were $102.4 million for the 1998 Quarter, a 43.8%
increase over revenues of $71.2 million for the 1997 Quarter. This increase in
revenues, is primarily attributable to the Reposition Hotels.

Operating expenses are comprised of direct, general and administrative, other
hotel operating costs and depreciation and amortization. Direct expenses,
including both rooms and food and beverage operations, reflect expenses directly
related to hotel operations. General and administrative expenses represent
corporate salaries and other corporate operating expenses. Other expenses
include primarily property level expenses related to general operations such as
advertising, utilities, repairs and maintenance and other property
administrative costs. Direct operating expenses for the Company were $39.4
million for the 1998 Quarter and $27.4 million for the 1997 Quarter. This
increase was primarily related to the revenues generated by the Reposition
Hotels. Other operating expenses for the Company were $31.8 million for the 1998
Quarter and $21.2 million for the 1997 Quarter. This $10.6 million increase was
attributable to the Reposition Hotels. Depreciation and amortization expense for
the Company was $7.6 million for the 1998 Quarter and $5.5 million for the 1997
Quarter. Included in this $2.1 million increase was 1.7 million associated with
the Reposition Hotels and the remaining increase was related to equipment
purchases and improvements made at the Stabilized Hotels.



                                       11

<PAGE>   12





As a result of the above, income from operations was $21.3 million for the 1998
Quarter as compared to $14.9 million for the 1997 Quarter, an increase of 43%.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $8.6 million for the 1998 Quarter,
a $.4 million increase from the $8.2 million for the 1997 Quarter. The hotels
acquired during 1997 and 1998 had $2 million of interest expense during the 1998
Quarter. This interest expense was offset by a $1.6 million decrease in interest
expense for hotels acquired prior to 1997. This decrease was primarily a result
of a reduction in the level of debt and effective interest rate related to debt
which was repaid with the proceeds of the common stock offering as more fully
discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

During the 1998 Quarter, the Company repaid, prior to maturity, approximately
$104 million in debt and, as a result, recorded as an extraordinary item a loss
on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.1 million (net of income
taxes of $.7 million) relating to the write-off of unamortized loan costs
associated with the debt.

After a provision for income taxes of $4.9 million for the 1998 Quarter and $2.8
million for the 1997 Quarter, the Company had income before extraordinary items
of $7.3 million ($.34 per share) for the 1998 Quarter and $4.1 million ($.42 per
share) for the 1997 Quarter.

The following table summarizes certain operating data for the Company's hotels
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997:

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 (THE "1998 PERIOD") AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS

Occupancy and average daily rate for owned hotels for the 1998 Period was 68.6%
and $73.88, respectively, compared with 67.2% and $72.96, respectively, for the
1997 Period.

RevPAR for the Stabilized Hotels increased 2.9% during the 1998 Period to $50.96
from $49.53 during the 1997 Period. The occupancy level and average daily rate

Period was 69.9% and $72.90, respectively, compared with 67.8% and $73.06,
respectively, for the 1997 Period. The increase in occupancy for the Stabilized
Hotels during the quarter was attributable to successful yield management and
marketing strategies primarily in those hotels that have recently completed
major renovations. RevPAR, occupancy and average daily rate for the Reposition
Hotels during the 1998 Period were $49.84, 64.8% and $76.92, respectively. The
Company is currently implementing new marketing strategies and operational
improvements at all of the Reposition Hotels and expects to complete significant
renovations at many of these hotels during 1998. In addition, the Company is
currently negotiating to obtain new franchise affiliations at certain of the
properties.

Revenues for the Company were $185.3 million for the 1998 Period, a 38.5%
increase over revenues of $133.8 million for the 1997 Period. This increase in
revenues, is primarily attributable to the Reposition Hotels.

Direct operating expenses for the Company were $72.5 million for the 1998 Period
and $52.2 million for the 1997 Period. This increase was primarily related to
the revenues generated by the Reposition Hotels. Other operating expenses for
the Company were $59.4 million for the 1998 Period and $42.9 million for the
1997 Period. This $16.5 million increase was attributable to the Reposition
Hotels. Depreciation and amortization expense for the Company was $14.8 million
for the 1998 Period and $10.9 million for the 1997 Period. Included in this $3.9
million increase was $3 million associated with the Reposition Hotels and the
remaining increase was related to equipment purchases and improvements made at
the Stabilized Hotels.

As a result of the above, income from operations was $34.2 million for the 1998
Period as compared to $23.6 million for the 1997 Period, an increase of 44.9%
despite a $.5 million negative impact associated with three highly seasonal
properties located in northwestern New York which were acquired during the first
quarter of 1998.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $16.4 million for the 1998 Period,
as compared to $16.2 million for the 1997 Period. The hotels acquired during
1997 and 1998 had $4 million of interest expense during the 1998 Period. This
interest expense was offset by a $3.8 million decrease in interest expense for
hotels acquired prior to 1997. This decrease was primarily a result of a
reduction in the level of debt and effective interest rate related to debt which
was repaid with the proceeds of the common stock offering as more fully
discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

During the 1998 Period, the Company repaid, prior to maturity, approximately
$104 million in debt and, as a result, recorded as an extraordinary item, a loss
on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.1 million (net of income
taxes of $.7 million) relating to the write-off of unamortized loan costs
associated with the debt.

After a provision for income taxes of $6.9 million for the 1998 Period and $3
million for the 1997 Period, the Company had income before extraordinary items
of $10.3 million ($.49 per share) for the 1998 Period and $4.5 million ($.45 per
share) for the 1997 Period.

The following table summarizes certain operating data for the Company's hotels
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are existing cash balances and cash
flow from operations. The Company had earnings from operations before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the 1998 Period of $49.3
million, a 42 % increase over the $34.7 million for the 1997 Period. EBITDA is a
widely regarded industry measure of lodging performance used in the assessment
of hotel property values, although EBITDA is not indicative of and should not be
used as an alternative to net income or net cash provided by operations as
specified by generally accepted accounting principles. Net cash provided by
operating activities for the 1998 Period was $33.3 million as compared to $21.7
million for the 1997 Period.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $19 million as compared to
working capital of $1.3 million at December 31, 1997. The Company's ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 1.3:1 at June 30, 1998 and 1:1 at
December 31, 1997. At June 30, 1998, the Company's long-term obligations were
$282.8 million, not including $175 million of preferred redeemable securities.
The Company's long-term obligations were $323.3 million at December 31, 1997.

Certain of the Company's hotels are operated under license agreements that
require the Company to make capital improvements in accordance with a specified
time schedule. Additionally, in connection with the refinancing and acquisition
of hotels, the Company has agreed to make certain capital improvements and, as
of June 30, 1998, has approximately $14.8 million escrowed for such
improvements. The Company estimates its remaining obligations for all of such
commitments to be approximately $60.7 million, of which approximately $33.6
million is expected to be spent during the remainder of 1998, and the balance is
expected to be spent during 1999.

In June 1997, Servico completed a secondary offering of 10,000,000 shares of
common stock, at $14.50 per share. An additional 1,500,000 shares were issued in
July 1997 upon exercise by the underwriter of the over-allotment option. The
offering resulted in net proceeds to Servico of $156 million which were used to
repay $128 million of debt, to purchase the minority interests in three majority
owned hotels for $11.8 million and as additional working capital.

In June 1998 the Company completed the acquisition of an entity owning 14 hotels
containing 2,298 guest rooms. The Company intends to sell four of these hotels
containing 526 guest rooms and will spend approximately $26 million to renovate
and reposition the remaining 10 hotels. The acquisition price for the 14 hotels
was $75 million and was paid for by the assumption of $58 million in existing
debt and $1.5 million in other liabilities and the balance with existing cash.

Additionally in June 1998, the Company issued $175 million of Convertible
Redeemable Equity Structured Trust Securities ("CRESTS"). The CRESTS bear
interest at 7% and are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at
an initial conversion price of $21.42 per share. The sale of the CRESTS
generated $168.5 million in net proceeds all of which were used to repay
existing debt.

On March 20, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement with a privately
owned hotel company to merge and form a new publicly owned company. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company's existing shareholders will receive one
share of the merged company's common stock for each share of Servico stock held
by them (approximately 21,000,000 shares). The owners of the private company
will initially receive 6,000,000 shares of common stock of the merged company
and an additional 1,400,000 shares upon the completion of construction of six
hotels during 1999 subject to adjustment based on the trading price of Servico's
common stock during a defined period prior to the merger. The merged company
will own and manage 140 hotels, (136 of which will be owned) with more than
26,000 rooms and operate in 35 states and Canada. The merger will be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting and is expected to close during the
third quarter of 1998 subject to customary conditions, including regulatory
approvals and approval by the Company's shareholders.

The Company may require additional financing to continue its growth strategy.
There is no assurance that such financing will be available in amounts required
or on terms satisfactory to the Company and the Company does not currently have
any lines of credit. The Company's financial position may, in the future, be
strengthened through an increase in revenues, the refinancing of its properties
or capital from equity or debt markets. There is no assurance the Company will
be successful in these efforts.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Form 10-Q which express "belief", "anticipation", or
"expectation", as well as other statements which are not historical fact, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties. Moreover,
there are important factors which include, but are not limited to, general and
local economic conditions, risks relating to the merger with Impac, including
the failure to realize synergies or the benefits from the transaction,
renovation and operation of hotels, government legislation and regulation,
changes in interest rates, the impact of rapid growth, the significant levels of
indebtedness of the Company and the Company's ability to service such
indebtedness or to refinance such indebtedness, the availability of capital to
finance growth, the historical cyclicality of the lodging industry and other
factors described in other Servico, Inc. filings with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and
many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Actual results could differ
materially from these forward- looking statements. In light of the risks and
uncertainties, there is no assurance that the forward-looking statements
contained in this Form 10-Q will in fact prove correct or occur. The Company
does not undertake any obligation to publicly release the results of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or
circumstances.
