HOST INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Host
     International,  Inc.  (the  "Company",  a wholly owned  subsidiary  of Host
     Marriott  Services  Corporation) and its  subsidiaries,  have been prepared
     without audit.  The Company manages travel plazas on six tollroads for Host
     Marriott  Tollroads,  Inc.  (a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Host  Marriott
     Services Corporation) and receives management fees for such services.  Base
     management fees are determined as a percentage of revenues, with additional
     incentive  management  fees  determined as a percentage  of available  cash
     flow.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements  presented in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  have been  condensed  or  omitted.  The  Company  believes  the
     disclosures  made  are  adequate  to make  the  information  presented  not
     misleading. However, the condensed consolidated financial statements should
     be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
     thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
     year ended January 3, 1997.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
     have the meanings specified in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     In the  opinion  of  the  Company,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
     consolidated  financial  statements  reflect all adjustments (which include
     only  normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
     consolidated  financial  position  of the  Company as of March 28, 1997 and
     January  3,  1997 and the  results  of  operations  and cash  flows for the
     interim periods presented.  Interim results are not necessarily  indicative
     of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term
     variations.

     The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Company
     and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates.  Investments in 50% or less
     owned  affiliates  over  which the  Company  has the  ability  to  exercise
     significant  influence  are  accounted  for using the  equity  method.  All
     material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its
     subsidiaries have been eliminated.  Certain  reclassifications were made to
     the prior year financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.

2.   The Company adopted  the  disclosure-only   provisions  of  SFAS  No.  123,
     "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,"  during 1996.  The Company is
     required to adopt SFAS No. 129,  "Disclosure of  Information  about Capital
     Structure,"  no later  than its fiscal  year  ending  January 2, 1998.  The
     adoption of SFAS No. 129 will not have a material  effect on the  Company's
     consolidated financial statements.

3.   Management  approved a formal  restructuring  plan in October  1995 and the
     Company recorded a pretax restructuring charge to earnings of $14.5 million
     in the  fourth  quarter of 1995.  The  restructuring  charge was  primarily
     comprised of  involuntary  employee  termination  benefits  (related to its
     realignment of operational responsibilities) and lease cancellation penalty
     fees and related costs  resulting  from the Company's  plan to exit certain
     activities in its entertainment venues.

     The employee  termination  benefits  included in the  restructuring  charge
     reflect the immediate  elimination of approximately 100 corporate and field
     operations  positions and the elimination of  approximately  200 additional
     field operations  positions,  all of which were specifically  identified in
     the restructuring  plan. Certain initiatives of the restructuring plan were
     scheduled to be implemented  throughout the duration of the plan, resulting
     in an  extended  period  over  which the 200  additional  field  operations
     positions would be eliminated.  The Company expects to complete its plan to
     involuntarily terminate employees by the end of the second quarter of 1997,
     although  severance payments are expected to continue beyond the end of the
     second  quarter of 1997 due to the provisions of the program that allow for
     extended  severance  payments.  As of the end of the first quarter of 1997,
     the  Company  had   terminated   202  positions  in  connection   with  the
     restructuring plan.

     Also as a part of the restructuring,  the Company committed to exit certain
     operating   units  in   entertainment   venues  which  were  deemed  to  be
     inconsistent with the Company's core operating strategies. As of the end of
     the first  quarter  of 1997,  this  portion of the  restructuring  plan was
     essentially complete.

4.   Cash and cash equivalents  generally include all highly liquid  investments
     with a  maturity  of three  months or less at the date of  purchase.  These
     investments include money market assets and commercial paper used as a part
     of the Company's cash management activities.

5.   SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION
     Certain  subsidiaries  of the  Company  guarantee  the  Senior  Notes.  The
     separate financial  statements of each guaranteeing  subsidiary  (together,
     the  "Guarantor  Subsidiaries")  are not  presented  because the  Company's
     management  has concluded that such separate  financial  statements are not
     material to investors.  The guarantee of each Guarantor  Subsidiary is full
     and unconditional and joint and several and each Guarantor  Subsidiary is a
     wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Certain of the Company's controlled
     affiliates, in which the Company owns between 50% and 90% interest, are not
     guarantors of the Senior Notes. The ability of the Company's  Non-Guarantor
     Subsidiaries  to make  dividends to the Company is restricted to the extent
     of the minority  interests'  share in the affiliates'  combined net assets.
     There is no subsidiary of the Company the capital stock of which  comprises
     a  substantial  portion of the  collateral  for the Senior Notes within the
     meaning  of  Rule  3-10  of  Regulation   S-X.  The   following   condensed
     consolidating  financial  information  sets forth the  combined  results of
     operations,  financial  position,  and cash flows of the parent,  Guarantor
     Subsidiaries and Non-guarantor Subsidiaries. Certain reclassifications were
     made  to  conform  all of the  supplemental  information  to the  financial
     presentation  on  a  consolidated  basis.  The  principal  eliminating  and
     adjusting  entries  reflect (i) Company debt and related  interest  charges
     reflected in the financial  statements of the Company (as obligor) and also
     the Guarantor Subsidiaries, (as guarantors), (ii) investments, advances and
     equity in  earnings  in  subsidiaries,  and (iii) the  minority  interests'
     equity interests in the partnership distributions and the minority interest
     liabilities.

HOST INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company manages travel plaza concessions contracts on six tollroads for Host
Marriott  Tollroads,  Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Host Marriott  Services
Corporation).  Base  management fees related to these travel plaza contracts are
based on a percentage of total revenues  earned during the period by each of the
travel  plazas,  with  additional  incentive  management  fees  determined  as a
percentage of available cash flow.

REVENUES.  Revenues,  including  management  fee  income,  for the twelve  weeks
("quarter")  ended March 28, 1997 increased by $2.5 million,  or 1.1%, to $238.8
million  compared with revenues of $236.3  million in the first quarter of 1996.
This increase was driven by solid  performance  in comparable  domestic  airport
concessions  operations  and the opening of the Ontario  Mills food court in the
fourth quarter of 1996.

AIRPORTS
Airport concession revenues were up $1.6 million, or 0.8%, to $197.9 million for
the first quarter of 1997  compared  with $196.3  million for the same period in
1996.  Domestic airport concession  revenues increased by $0.6 million, or 0.3%,
to $184.9  million for the first quarter of 1997 compared to $184.3  million for
the same period in 1996.  International  airport revenues were $13.0 million for
the first  quarter of 1997  compared with $12.0 million for the first quarter of
last year,  an increase of $1.0  million,  or 8.3%.  Revenue  growth in domestic
airport  concessions  can be  attributed to strong  fundamentals  in the airport
business,  with passenger  enplanements  at comparable  airports up an estimated
4.3% over last year's first quarter.  Comparable  contracts exclude the negative
impact of contracts with significant changes in scope of operation and contracts
undergoing  significant  construction  of  new  facilities.  Revenue  growth  at
comparable  domestic airport locations grew 7.0%. Revenue per enplaned passenger
("RPE") grew 2.7% at the  Company's  comparable  airport  locations in the first
quarter of 1997.  The FAA forecast has projected  annual  passenger  enplanement
growth of 4.1% through the year 2008. The growth in RPE can be attributed to the
continued  addition of branded  locations,  moderate  increases  in menu prices,
various real estate  maximization  efforts and benefits  from other  operational
initiatives.  Airport  revenue  growth in the first quarter of 1997 was achieved
despite the benefit of severe  winter  weather in 1996 which  caused air traffic
delays;  and the calendar  shift (first  quarter 1997 began January 4, after the
holiday travel season, while first quarter 1996 began December 30, 1995).

TRAVEL PLAZAS
Travel  plaza  concession  revenues  for the first  quarter  of 1997 were  $26.0
million, a decrease of $0.1 million or 0.4%, compared to the same quarter a year
ago.   The   calendar    shift   referred   to   above    negatively    impacted
quarter-over-quarter sales.

SHOPPING MALLS AND ENTERTAINMENT
Shopping malls and entertainment  concession  revenues,  primarily consisting of
merchandise, food and beverage sales at food courts in shopping malls, stadiums,
arenas,  and other  tourist  attractions,  increased by $0.9 million or 7.8%, to
$12.5  million  for the first  quarter of 1997 from $11.6  million  for the same
period in 1996.  The increase in shopping  malls and  entertainment  concessions
revenues was  primarily  attributable  to the opening of the Ontario  Mills Mall
food court in the fourth quarter of 1996. The strong performance of the shopping
mall  facilities  was offset by the Company's  planned exit from certain  retail
operations  in the business  line that were deemed to be  inconsistent  with the
Company's core strategies.

The Company announced in the second quarter of 1996 a definitive  agreement on a
second mall project with The Mills  Corporation to operate the food and beverage
locations at the Grapevine Mills Outlet Mall outside of Dallas,  Texas. The mall
is expected to open in the Fall of 1997,  and the  Company's  food and  beverage
operations  will be similar in size and scope to the Ontario  Mills  Outlet Mall
project.

MANAGEMENT FEE INCOME.  Travel plaza management fee income for the first quarter
of 1997 was $2.4 million compared with $2.3 million for the same period of 1996.
A slight  increase  in  revenues  at the  managed  tollroads

accounted for the increase in  management  fee income,  as  management  fees are
calculated as a set percentage of revenues.

OPERATING  COSTS AND EXPENSES.  The Company's total operating costs and expenses
were $235.4  million for the first quarter of 1997, or 98.6% of total  revenues,
compared  with $233.9  million for the first  quarter of 1996, or 99.0% of total
revenues.  The  improved  operating  profit  margin  quarter-to-quarter  of 0.4%
reflects  operating  leverage  benefits  derived  from  revenue  growth  and  an
improvement in the  cost-of-sales  margin resulting from the  implementation  of
several operating initiatives.

Cost of sales for the first  quarter of 1997 was $69.4  million,  a decrease  of
$0.8 million,  or 1.1%, below the first quarter of last year. Cost of sales as a
percentage of total revenues  decreased 60 basis points during the first quarter
of 1997, most notably due to various cost  controlling  initiatives  implemented
during the year.  These  initiatives  include the roll out of the Store  Manager
concept  intended to move management  closer to the customer to improve customer
satisfaction;   the  renegotiation  of  distributor  agreements  for  books  and
magazines  in the  Company's  airports  and travel  plazas to  improve  service,
in-stock  availability  and cost margins as well as a program  under which brand
experts  ("Brand  Champions")  are assigned to certain of the Company's  largest
selling  branded  concepts.   The  Brand  Champions'   function  is  to  promote
operational  excellence  and  create  operating  efficiencies  across all of the
Company's locations of a particular brand.

Payroll and benefits  totaled $74.5 million  during the first quarter of 1997, a
1.4%,  or $1.0 million,  increase  over the first  quarter of 1996.  Payroll and
benefits  as a  percentage  of total  revenues  for the  first  quarter  of 1997
increased slightly to 31.2% from the 31.1% reported for the same period in 1996.

Occupancy costs consist of rent,  royalties and  depreciation  and  amortization
expenses.  Occupancy  costs were $55.7 million for the first quarter of 1997, up
$2.0 million or 3.7%  compared to the first  quarter of 1996. As a percentage of
total revenues, occupancy costs increased to 23.3% for the first quarter of 1997
compared to 22.7% for the first quarter of 1996.

Rent expense totaled $39.9 million for the first quarter of 1997, an increase of
$0.6 million, or 1.5%, over the first quarter of 1996. The majority of increased
rent expense is  attributable to equipment  rentals,  which are related to a new
point of sale and back office computer system that the Company is rolling out to
each of its operating  units.  The remainder of increased rent expense is due to
increased  revenues on contracts  with  rentals  determined  as a percentage  of
revenues.

Royalties  expense  for the first  quarter  of 1997  increased  by 21.1% to $4.6
million from $3.8 million for the first quarter of last year. As a percentage of
total  revenues,  royalties  expense  increased to 1.9% for the first quarter of
1997 compared to 1.6% for the first quarter of 1996. These increases reflect the
Company's continued  introduction of branded concepts to its airport concessions
operations. Royalties expense as a percentage of branded sales decreased to 6.5%
for the first quarter of 1997 from 6.6% for the same period in 1996. This margin
decrease   is   attributable   to  the   addition  of  branded   concepts   with
lower-than-average royalty percentages. Branded facilities generate higher sales
per square foot and  contribute  toward  increased  RPE,  which  offset  royalty
payments  required  to operate  the  concepts.  Branded  concepts  in all of the
Company's  managed and operated  venues have grown at a compound  annual  growth
rate of 12.2%  over the last  five  fiscal  years.  No  single  branded  concept
accounts for more than 10% of total revenues.  Branded revenues  increased 19.6%
for the first quarter of 1997 when  compared  with the same period in 1996,  the
majority of which related to branded sales at airports.

Branded  revenues in airports have increased  22.6% in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the same period in 1996.  This  increase can be  attributed to large
new branded concept developments in Dulles  International  Airport (just outside
of Washington, D.C.), San Diego International Airport, Los Angeles International
Airport and Hartsfield Atlanta  International  Airport.  Airport branded product
sales in the first quarter increased to $53.1 million, or 26.8% of total airport
revenues,  compared with $43.3 million,  or 22.1% of total airport revenues,  in
the first quarter of 1996.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense,  excluding  $0.4  million of corporate
depreciation  on property  and  equipment  which is  included as a component  of
general and administrative  expenses, was $11.2 million for the first quarter of
1997,  up 5.7%  compared  to $10.6  million for the first  quarter of 1996.  The
increase in  depreciation  was largely due to  developments at the Ontario Mills
Mall food court and Los Angeles International Airport.

General and administrative  expenses were $12.5 million for the first quarter of
1997, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.5%, over the $12.2 million for the first
quarter of 1996.  This increase is primarily  attributable  to higher  corporate
depreciation  expense associated with the new headquarters and financial system,
which was  partially  offset by a decrease in  corporate  payroll  and  benefits
expense.

Other  operating  expenses,   which  includes  utilities,   casualty  insurance,
equipment  maintenance,  trash removal and other  miscellaneous  expenses,  were
$23.3 million for the first  quarter of 1997, a $1.0  million,  or 4.1% decrease
from the $24.3 million reported in the first quarter of 1996. As a percentage of
total revenues,  other operating  expenses decreased to 9.8% compared with 10.3%
for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

OPERATING PROFIT. As a result of the changes in revenues and operating costs and
expenses discussed above, operating profit increased to $3.4 million, or 1.4% of
revenues, for the first quarter of 1997, from $2.4 million, or 1.0% of revenues,
for the first  quarter  of 1996.  Operating  profit for  airports,  prior to the
allocation of corporate general and administrative  expenses,  was $16.8 million
for the first  quarter  of 1997 as  compared  with $15.6  million  for the first
quarter of 1996.  Operating loss for the travel plaza  business line,  excluding
general and administrative expenses,  increased $0.1 million to $1.5 million for
the  first   quarter  of  1997.   Operating   profit  for  shopping   malls  and
entertainment,  excluding  general and  administrative  expenses,  totaled  $0.6
million and $0.4 million for the first  quarter of 1997 and 1996,  respectively.
The operating profit (loss) margins totaled 8.5%,  (5.3)% and 4.8% for airports,
travel plazas and shopping malls and entertainment,  respectively,  in the first
quarter of 1997.  During the first quarter of 1996, the operating  profit (loss)
margins totaled 7.9%,  (4.9)% and 3.4% for airports,  travel plazas and shopping
malls and entertainment,  respectively. Several strategic initiatives, including
the Store  Manager  concept  and the Brand  Champion  program  in the  Company's
largest  selling  branded  concepts  have   contributed   toward  improved  cost
management.

INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest expense was unchanged at $9.2 million for the first
quarter of 1997  compared  with the same quarter in 1996,  reflecting  the fixed
rate of 9.5% on the Company's $400.0 million of Senior Notes.

INTEREST  INCOME.  Interest income totaled $0.7 million for the first quarter of
1997, a $0.5 million  increase when compared with the $0.2 million  reported for
the same period in 1996.  The  Company's  acceleration  of the  transfer of cash
balances  from  local   depository   accounts  to  corporate   interest  bearing
consolidation accounts contributed to the increase in interest income during the
quarter.  The Company's strong financial  performance  during the quarter and in
1996  contributed  significantly  to increases in cash  balances.  Cash balances
during the quarter were also  temporarily  higher due to a  transition  to a new
financial  system at year-end 1996. This  transition  resulted in beginning cash
balances being higher than the Company's normal seasonal level.

INCOME  TAXES.  The benefit for income taxes for the first  quarters of 1997 and
1996 was $2.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

NET LOSS.  The Company's net loss for the first quarter of 1997 was $3.1 million
compared with a net loss of $3.8 million for the first quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company funds its capital  requirements  with a combination of existing cash
balances,  operating cash flow and debt and equity  financing and  contributions
from the Company's  parent.  The Company  believes that cash flow generated from
ongoing  operations,  current cash  balances and funds  available  from existing
credit   facilities   are  more  than  adequate  to  finance   ongoing   capital
expenditures,  as well as, meet debt service requirements.  The Company also has
the ability to fund its planned growth  initiatives from the sources  identified
above; however,  should significant growth opportunities arise, such as business
combinations or contract  acquisitions,  alternative financing arrangements will
be evaluated and considered.

The Company is required to make semi-annual cash interest payments on the Senior
Notes at a fixed  interest  rate of 9.5%.  The  Company is not  required to make
principal payments on the Senior Notes until maturity except in the event of (i)
certain changes in control or (ii) certain asset sales in which the proceeds are
not invested in other properties  within a specified period of time.  Management
does  not  expect  either  of  these  events  to occur  and  therefore  does not
anticipate  that the  principal  payments on the Senior Notes will be due before
maturity.

The Senior Notes mature in 2005 and are fully and unconditionally  guaranteed on
a  joint  and  several  basis  by  certain  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  (the
"Guarantors").  The Senior  Notes are also  secured  by a pledge of the  capital
stock  of  the  Guarantors.  The  indenture  governing  the  Senior  Notes  (the
"Indenture")  contains covenants that, among other things,  limit the ability of
the Guarantors to incur  additional  indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay
dividends or make other distributions,  repurchase capital stock or subordinated
indebtedness,  create  certain  liens,  enter  into  certain  transactions  with
affiliates,  sell certain assets, issue or sell capital stock of the Guarantors,
and enter into certain mergers and consolidations.

The  First  National  Bank of  Chicago,  as agent  for a group of  participating
lenders,  has provided  credit  facilities  (the  "Facilities")  to the Company.
During the first quarter of 1997 the Company negotiated several  enhancements to
the Facilities. The enhancements increased the aggregate principal amount of the
Facilities  from $75.0 million through 2001 to $100.0 million through April 2002
(the  "Total  Commitment").  The Total  Commitment  consists  of (i) a letter of
credit facility in the amount of $25.0 million for the issuance of financial and
non-financial  letters of credit and (ii) a  revolving  credit  facility  in the
amount of $75.0  million  (the  "Revolver  Facility")  for  working  capital and
general corporate purposes other than hostile acquisitions. All borrowings under
the  Facilities  are senior  obligations  of the Company and are secured by Host
Marriott  Services  Corporation's  pledge  of,  and a first  perfected  security
interest  in,  all of the  capital  stock  of the  Company  and  certain  of its
subsidiaries.

The loan  agreements  relating  to the  Facilities  contain  dividend  and stock
retirement  covenants that are  substantially  similar to those set forth in the
Indenture, provided that dividends payable to Host Marriott Services Corporation
are  limited to 25% of the  Company's  consolidated  net  income  and  provided,
further,  that no  dividends  can be declared  by the Company  prior to June 20,
1997.  The loan  agreements  also contain  certain  financial  ratio and capital
expenditure covenants. The enhancements to the Facility during the first quarter
of 1997 eliminated the Revolver  Facility's  annual 30-day repayment  provision.
Any  indebtedness  outstanding  under the  Facilities  may be  declared  due and
payable  upon the  occurrence  of  certain  events  of  default,  including  the
Company's  failure to comply  with the several  covenants  noted  above,  or the
occurrence  of certain  events of default under the  Indenture.  As of March 28,
1997 and  throughout  the  twelve  weeks  ended  March  28,  1997,  there was no
outstanding  indebtedness  under the  Revolver  Facility  and the Company was in
compliance with the covenants described above.

The Company's cash flows from operating  activities are affected by seasonality.
Cash from  operations  generally is the strongest in the summer  months  between
Memorial  Day and Labor Day.  Cash  provided by  operations,  before  changes in
working capital,  totaled $9.0 million for the first quarter of 1997 as compared
with cash provided by operations of $4.5 million for the same period in 1996.

The primary uses of cash in investing activities consist of capital expenditures
and  acquisitions.  The Company  incurs  capital  expenditures  to build out new
facilities,  expand or  re-concept  existing  facilities,  and to  maintain  the
quality and 


                                   14

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued



improve  operations of existing  facilities.  The Company's  capital
expenditures  in the first  quarter of 1997 and 1996,  totaled $12.2 million and
$11.8  million,  respectively.  For the entire fiscal year of 1997,  the Company
expects to make capital  expenditure  investments of approximately $58.0 million
in its core domestic  airport and travel plaza business lines and  approximately
$20.0  million in growth  markets in  international  airports and food courts in
domestic shopping malls. The timing of actual capital expenditures can vary from
expected   timing  due  to  project   scheduling  and  delays  inherent  in  the
construction  and  approval  process.  The  Company  expects  to fund these 1997
expenditures with its operating cash flow.

The Company's cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of 1997 was
$0.3 million,  compared  with cash used in financing  activities of $0.4 million
for the same period in 1996.

Working  capital is managed  throughout  the year to  effectively  maximize  the
financial  returns  to the  Company.  As a cash  driven  business,  the  Company
benefits from  maintaining  negative  working  capital.  At March 28, 1997,  the
Company's  working  capital  resulted in its current  liabilities  exceeding its
current  assets by $16.6 million.  If needed,  the Company's  Revolver  Facility
provides  funds for  liquidity,  seasonal  borrowing  needs  and  other  general
corporate purposes. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company transitioned to a
new financial system,  which included the centralization of the accounts payable
function. As a result of the transition,  the Company experienced unusually high
balances in cash and cash equivalents and current liabilities.

The  Company's   consolidated   earnings   before   interest   expense,   taxes,
depreciation,  amortization and other non-cash items  ("EBITDA")  increased $2.4
million,  or 17.8%,  to $15.9 million in the first quarter of 1997. The increase
in EBITDA reflects the impact of improved operating results in 1997. The Company
believes that EBITDA is one meaningful measure of its operating  performance and
is used by certain  investors  to estimate  the  Company's  ability to meet debt
service requirements and fund capital investments. EBITDA information should not
be considered an alternative to net income,  operating  profit,  cash flows from
operations,  or any other operating or liquidity  performance measure recognized
by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").  The calculation of EBITDA
for the Company may not be comparable to the same calculation by other companies
because the definition of EBITDA varies throughout the industry.

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss:

IMPAIRMENTS OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Effective  September 9, 1995,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 121, which requires
that an  impairment  loss be  recognized  when the  carrying  amount of an asset
exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. In
adopting SFAS No. 121 (and thereby  changing its method of measuring  long-lived
asset  impairments  from

a business-line basis to an individual  operating-unit basis), the Company wrote
down  the  assets  (primarily  leasehold   improvements  and  equipment)  of  14
individual  operating  units to the  extent  the  carrying  value of the  assets
exceeded the fair value of the assets in 1995.  Eleven of the fourteen units had
projected cash flow deficits,  and,  accordingly  the assets of these units were
written off in their entirety.  The remaining three units had projected positive
cash flows and the assets were  partially  written down to their  estimated fair
values.

During 1996, 5 of the original 14 impaired units were either  disposed of or the
lease term expired. As of March 28, 1997, the total cash flow deficit (including
operating cash flows and necessary  capital  expenditures)  from the remaining 9
operating  units was  projected to be  approximately  $16.8  million  during the
remaining  terms of the lease  agreements.  Substantially  all of the  remaining
deficit is attributable to two airport units.


DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

Realization  of the net deferred tax assets  totaling  $79.4 million as of March
28, 1997,  is  dependent on the  Company's  ability to generate  future  taxable
income.  Management believes that it is more likely than not that future taxable
income will be  sufficient  to realize the net deferred  tax assets  recorded at
March 28, 1997.  Management  anticipates  that  increases in taxable income will
arise in future periods primarily as a result of business strategies and reduced
operating  costs  resulting  from the  ongoing  restructuring  of the  Company's
business processes. The anticipated improvement in operating results is expected
to increase the taxable income base to a level which would allow  realization of
the existing net deferred tax assets within nine to twelve years.

Future levels of operating  income and other  taxable  gains are dependent  upon
general  economic  and  industry  conditions,  including  airport  and  tollroad
traffic,  inflation,  competition,  demand for development of concepts and other
factors  beyond  the  Company's  control,  and no  assurance  can be given  that
sufficient  taxable  income will be generated  for full  utilization  of the tax
credits and deductible temporary  differences giving use to the net deferred tax
credits. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion that
it is more likely than not that  operating  income will be sufficient to utilize
these tax credits and temporary deferred deductions fully. The amount of the net
deferred  tax  assets  considered  realizable,  however,  could  be  reduced  if
estimates of future taxable income are not achieved.
