                         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 62 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 manages for third party owners 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 March 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three 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 $17.3 million and
$16.4 million at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, are
included in other assets, net of accumulated amortization of $3.3 million and
$2.5 million at March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company borrowed $54.8
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 to make deposits of $8.6 million
relating to the future acquisition of an additional 15 hotels.

</TABLE>

All prior-period earnings per share amounts have been restated to conform to 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128 "Earnings Per Share".

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
its business, the impact of which would not, either individually or in the
aggregate, in management's opinion, based upon facts currently known by it and
discussions with counsel, have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

6.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined
to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. The adoption of this statement does not have
a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

7.   OTHER EVENTS

In November 1997, the Company signed definitive agreements to purchase a
partnership which owns 15 full-service hotels. On March 5, 1998, the Company
purchased for $8.6 million limited partnership units in the entity which
presently owns a 99% interest in the partnership owning the hotels. The Company
currently intends to sell five of the hotels and to retain ten hotels containing
1,772 rooms. The purchase price of the hotels will be approximately $75 million
and is expected to be paid for by the assumption of approximately $63 million in
debt and cash (which includes the $8.6 million)



                                       8

for the balance. This transaction is expected to be completed during the second
quarter of 1998.

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. 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 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 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 the first quarter of 1998, the Company purchased a total of 16
hotels (14 subsequent to September 1997) and acquired 100% ownership in three
hotels owned by partnerships in which the Company previously had majority
ownership. The average purchase price of the 16 hotels was $42,522 per room and
the Company expects to spend approximately $10,900 per room in renovations and
capital assets for a total cost per room of $53,422. 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
core hotel base, the Company tracks the performance of both Stabilized Hotels
and Reposition Hotels. The Stabilized Hotels currently include all hotels which
were acquired by the Company through 1994 and 19 of the hotels acquired during
1995 and 1996 which, based on management's determination, have achieved
normalized operations. The Reposition Hotels currently include five of the
hotels acquired during 1995 and 1996, 12 hotels acquired during 1997 and the
four hotels acquired during the first quarter of 1998, all of which are still
the subject of management's post acquisition repositioning and renovation
initiatives. All of the hotels acquired during 1997 were acquired after the
first quarter, therefore, the performance measures for the Reposition Hotels are
not comparable to the prior period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 (THE "1998 QUARTER") AS COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 (THE "1997 QUARTER")

At March 31, 1998, the Company owned 72 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 March 31, 1997. Occupancy and average daily rate for owned hotels
operated fully for the 1998 Quarter was 64.8% and $74.38, respectively, compared
with 63.4% and $73.45, respectively, for the 1997 Quarter.

RevPAR for the Stabilized Hotels increased 2.7% during the 1998 Quarter to
$48.40 from $47.11 during the 1997 Quarter. The occupancy level and average
daily rate for the Stabilized Hotels during the 1998 Quarter was 66.1% and
$73.22, respectively, compared with 64.3% and $73.26, 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 operated
fully during the 1998 Quarter were $47.75, 61.6% and $77.51, 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 $82.9 million for the 1998 Quarter, a 32.3%
increase over revenues of $62.6 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 $33.2
million for the 1998 Quarter and $24.8 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 $27.7 million for the 1998
Quarter and $21.6 million for the 1997 Quarter. This $6.1 million increase was
attributable to the Reposition Hotels. Depreciation and amortization expense for
the Company was $7.2 million for the 1998 Quarter and $5.4 million for the 1997
Quarter. Included in this $1.8 million increase was $1.4 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 $12.5 million for the 1998
Quarter as compared to $8.7 million for the 1997 Quarter, an increase of 43.8%
despite a $.5 million negative impact associated with three highly seasonal
properties located in Northwestern New York which were acquired during the 1998
Quarter.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $7.4 million for the 1998 Quarter,
a $.3 million decrease from the $7.7 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 $2.3 million decrease in interest
expense for hotels operated during both the 1998 and 1997 quarters. 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.

After a provision for income taxes of $2 million for the 1998 Quarter and $.2
million for the 1997 Quarter, the Company had net income of $3 million ($.14 per
share) for the 1998 Quarter and $.3 million ($.03 per share) for the 1997
Quarter.

The following table summarizes certain operating data for the Company's hotels
for the three months ended March 31, 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 before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the 1998 Quarter of $19.8 million,
a 39.7 % increase over the $14.2 million for the 1997 Quarter. 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 Quarter was $9.6 million as compared to $10.1
million for the 1997 Quarter.

At March 31, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit of $.9 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 1:1 at March 31, 1998 and 1:1
at December 31, 1997.

At March 31, 1998, the Company's long-term obligations were $376.8 million
compared with $323.3 million at December 31, 1997.

In June 1997, Servico completed a secondary offering of 10,00,000 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.

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 March 31, 1998, has approximately $38.5 million escrowed for such
improvements. The Company estimates its remaining obligations for all of such
commitments to be approximately $41.1 million, of which approximately $38.6
million is expected to be spent during the remainder of 1998, and the balance is
expected to be spent during 1999.

In November 1997, the Company signed definitive agreements to purchase a
partnership which owns 15 full-service hotels. On March 5, 1998, the Company
purchased limited partnership units for $8.6 million in the entity which
presently owns a 99% interest in the partnership owning the hotels. The Company
currently intends to sell five of the hotels and to retain ten hotels containing
1,772 rooms. The purchase price of the hotels will be approximately $75 million 
and is expected to be paid for by the assumption of approximately $63 million in
debt and cash (which includes the $8.6 million) for the balance. This
transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1998.

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. 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.
