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 is the leading  operator of food,  beverage and
     merchandise concessions at airports, on tollroads,  and at other travel and
     entertainment  venues,  with  facilities  at nearly every major  commercial
     airport and  tollroad in the United  States.  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 2, 1998 ("Form 10-K").  Capitalized  terms not otherwise
     defined herein have the meanings specified in the 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 June 19, 1998 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 1998 presentation.

2.   The Company  adopted  SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income," in
     the first  quarter of 1998 and the adoption did not have a material  effect
     on the Company's condensed consolidated  financial statements.  The Company
     adopted SFAS No. 129,  "disclosure of Information about Capital Structure,"
     and SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information"  during 1997.  The adoption of these  standards did not have a
     material effect on the Company's 1997  consolidated  financial  statements.
     Statement of Position  ("SOP") 98-1,  "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
     Software  Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" and SOP 98-5,  "Reporting
     on the Costs of Start-Up  Activities"  were issued  subsequent to the first
     quarter of 1998 and are  required to be adopted in fiscal  years  beginning
     after December 15, 1998, with earlier adoption permitted.  The Company will
     adopt  SOP 98-1 and SOP 98-5  for its  1999  fiscal  year and is  currently
     evaluating the financial statement impact of the adoptions.

3.   The Company  has three  reportable  operating  segments:  airports,  travel
     plazas and  shopping  malls and  entertainment.  The  Company's  management
     evaluates  performance  of each  segment  based  on  profit  or  loss  from
     operations  before  allocation  of  general  and  administrative  expenses,
     unusual and extraordinary items,  interest and income taxes. The accounting
     policies of the segments are the same as those  described in the summary of
     significant  accounting  policies  in the  Company's  Form 10-K.  Financial
     information for the Company's three operating  segments are provided in the
     following tables.

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.   The   Company's   controlled
     affiliates, in which the Company owns between 50% and 90% interest, are not
     guarantors   of   the   Senior   Notes   (together,    the   "Non-Guarantor
     Subsidiaries").  The ability of the Company's Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries to
     pay  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  generated by each of the travel plazas,
with  additional  incentive  management  fees  determined  as  a  percentage  of
available cash flow.

REVENUES.  Revenues  for the  twelve  weeks  ("quarter")  ended  June  19,  1998
increased by 11.1% to $288.7 million from the same period in 1997,  with revenue
growth  experienced in all business lines.  Revenues for the  twenty-four  weeks
("first half") ended June 19, 1998 totaled $540.7 million,  an increase of 8.4%.
These  increases in revenues  were driven by strong  growth in domestic  airport
food and beverage  concessions  particularly from sales at locations with recent
openings of new branded  concepts.  Revenue growth was also aided by an increase
in  enplanements,  customer  traffic on  tollroads,  the opening of two new mall
contracts  in the  fourth  quarter  of 1997  and  the  conversion  of the  Miami
International  Airport  contract  from a  management  agreement  to an operating
agreement during the second quarter of 1998.

The Company's diversified branded concept portfolio,  which consists of over 100
internationally  known  brands,  regional  specialty  concepts  and  proprietary
concepts, is a unique competitive advantage in the marketplace. Brand awareness,
customer  familiarity  with product  offerings,  and the  perception of superior
value  and  consistency  are all  factors  contributing  to higher  revenue  per
enplaned  passenger ("RPE") in branded  facilities.  Branded revenues  increased
19.4% and 17.0% for the second quarter and first half of 1998 compared to a year
ago,  the  majority  of which  related  to the  continued  expansion  of branded
revenues at airports and  revenues  from new  shopping  mall food courts,  which
consist  primarily of branded food and beverage.  Branded revenues in all of the
Company's  venues have grown at a compound  annual growth rate of 18.2% over the
last three  fiscal  years.  The  Company's  exposure to any one brand is limited
given the diversity of brands that are offered and given that no single  branded
concept accounts for more than 10% of total revenues.

AIRPORTS
Airport  concession  revenues  were up 11.8% to $231.3  million  for the  second
quarter  of 1998  compared  to a year  ago,  with  domestic  airport  concession
revenues up 12.5% and  international  airport  revenues  up 4.0%.  International
revenues  reflect  increased  revenues at the Montreal  International  Airport -
Dorval in Canada  and the  Schiphol  Airport  in the  Netherlands  offset by the
negative impact of exchange rate  fluctuations  and weak  enplanements  stemming
from the Asian economic situation.

Comparable  domestic  airport  contracts  exclude the negative  impact of exited
contracts,  contracts  with  significant  changes  in  scope  of  operation  and
contracts undergoing significant construction of new facilities, as well as, the
positive  impact of new  contracts.  During  the  second  quarter  of 1998,  the
Chicago,  St.  Louis,  Miami and  Columbus  airport  contracts  were  considered
noncomparable.  Revenue growth at comparable  domestic airport

locations,  which comprise almost 90% of total domestic airport revenues, grew a
solid  11.4%  over  the  second  quarter  of  1997.  Passenger  enplanements  at
comparable  domestic  airports were up an estimated 3.0% over last year's second
quarter  while RPE grew 8.2%.  In March  1998,  the FAA  forecasted  annual U.S.
passenger  enplanement  growth of U.S.  carriers of 3.7%  through the year 2009.
Second quarter 1998 enplanement growth was below the FAA's long range forecast.

RPE,  which is the primary  measure of how  effective  the Company is  capturing
potential customers and increasing customer spending, grew 8.2% at the Company's
comparable  domestic  airport  locations in the second  quarter of 1998 over the
same period last year.  Approximately half of the RPE growth achieved during the
quarter can be attributed to the opening of new branded  concepts at a number of
the  Company's  larger   locations,   including  Los  Angeles,   San  Francisco,
Minneapolis and Cleveland.  In addition,  moderate  increases in menu prices and
various real estate  maximization  efforts also  contributed  to the 8.2% growth
rate.  Branded  revenues in airports  showed an increase of 24.4% when comparing
the second quarter of 1998 to the same period in 1997.  Airport branded revenues
in the second  quarter  increased to $69.3  million,  or 30.0% of total  airport
revenues,  compared with $55.7 million,  or 26.9% of total airport revenues,  in
the second quarter of 1997.

Airport concession revenues were up 8.5% to $439.0 million for the first half of
1998 compared to a year ago, with domestic airport  concession  revenues up 8.7%
and  international  airport  concession  revenues  up 5.7%.  The  opening of the
Montreal  International  Airport - Dorval in Canada during the second quarter of
1997  contributed   significantly  to  the  increase  in  international  airport
revenues,  which was  partially  offset by the negative  impact of exchange rate
fluctuations and weak enplanements stemming from the Asian economic situation.

During the first half of 1998,  the  Chicago,  St.  Louis,  Miami,  Columbus and
Montreal  airport  contracts were  considered  noncomparable.  Revenue growth at
comparable  domestic airport  locations grew a solid 9.2% over the first half of
1997.  Passenger  enplanements  at  comparable  domestic  airports  were  up  an
estimated 1.8% over the first half of 1997.

RPE grew 7.2% at the  Company's  comparable  domestic  airport  locations in the
first half of 1998 over the same period last year.  Branded revenues in airports
showed an  increase of 19.0% when  comparing  the first half of 1998 to the same
period in 1997.  Airport branded revenues in the first half of 1998 increased to
$131.3  million,  or 29.9% of  total  airport  revenues,  compared  with  $110.3
million, or 27.3% of total airport revenues, in the first half of 1997.

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company  announced a new domestic  airport
contract at the Southwest Florida  International Airport in Fort Myers. This ten
year contract is for the development and operation of 16,000 square feet of food
and beverage  concessions  space  throughout the airport's main terminal and its
two concourses.

Also  during  the  first  quarter  of  1998,  the  Company   announced   several
international  concession  facilities at Kuala Lumpur International  Airport and
Vancouver  International  Airport, both of which opened in the second quarter of
1998. The Company,  along with its 51% Malaysian joint venture  partner,  Dewina
Berhad,  was awarded several  facilities at the Kuala Lumpur airport.  The joint
venture will  operate  over 8,000  square feet of food and beverage  concessions
space and will  feature a mixture of  international  and local brand  offerings.
This contract is the Company's first  Southeast  Asian  contract,  a key step in
establishing  the Company's  presence in Southeast Asia. The Company was awarded
two new concession facilities at the Vancouver  International Airport, adding to
the Company's existing  operations in the domestic terminal.  The new facilities
include a Bar and Grill concept and a Starbucks  Coffee  location.  This airport
was the Company's first Canadian airport  contract,  and since its opening,  the
Company has received  several  awards on the design of the food and beverage and
retail operations at the airport.

During  the second  quarter  of 1998,  the  Company  announced  that it has been
selected  as the  food  and  beverage  master  developer/operator  at the  Miami
International  Airport,  until  the  year  2007.  The  new  contract  is for the
development  and  operation of more than 56,000 square feet of food and beverage
space located  throughout  nine

concourses  and the main  terminal  of the  airport.  Prior to this  award,  the
Company  operated  the  existing  generic  facilities  for Dade  County  under a
management  agreement  and  recorded  management  fees.  The Company will record
revenues  and  expenses  under  the  new  agreement.  When  construction  of the
facilities  is fully  complete in 2000,  the estimated  annualized  revenues are
expected to be  approximately  $30.0  million.  The Company also announced a new
joint  venture  with  Cool  Planet,  Inc.,  a  subsidiary  of  Planet  Hollywood
International,  Inc., to bring a new ice cream and dessert  concept  called Cool
Planet to the Company's venues. The 50/50 joint venture was formed to open up to
10 Cool Planet locations, five likely within the next year.

Subsequent  to the end of the second  quarter  of 1998,  the  Company  announced
several development achievements.  Food and beverage extensions were obtained at
the  Jacksonville  International  Airport  in Florida  and at  Terminal 3 of JFK
International  Airport in New York.  The Company  won a new  contract to operate
retail concessions in the north terminal at San Francisco  International Airport
and announced a planned expansion at Chicago O'Hare  International  Airport with
the recent  approval for a new 8,000 square foot business center at the airport.
Also, the Company has been selected by the Palm Beach Airport  Authority to take
over food and  beverage  operations  in October of 1998 in West Palm Beach.  The
Company's selection requires the positive vote of the Palm Beach County Board of
Commissioners and the vote is expected in August.

The contracts won or renewed in core markets  during or subsequent to the second
quarter  described  above are  expected  to  generate  more than $50  million in
revenues once opened and redeveloped.

TRAVEL PLAZAS
Travel plaza concession  revenues for the second quarter of 1998 were up 3.5% to
$38.1  million  when  compared  to the same  period in 1997 due to low  gasoline
prices, offset by inclement weather experienced throughout the northeastern U.S.
during much of the second  quarter.  In addition,  travel plaza  management  fee
income for the second quarter of 1998 increased 6.1% to $3.5 million compared to
the second  quarter of last year.  Revenues for the travel  plazas  segment grew
4.3% to $65.6  million for the first half of 1998. In addition,  management  fee
income for the first half of 1998 increased  5.4% to $5.9 million  compared with
the same period in 1997.  The growth in revenues  for the first half of 1998 was
the result of increased  tollroad traffic due to low gasoline prices, as well as
moderate increases in menu prices. Low gasoline prices,  higher household income
and  record-high  consumer  confidence  have led the Energy  Department  and the
Travel  Institute of America to forecast strong growth in vehicle miles traveled
for this summer of 3.9% and 3%, respectively.

The Company  started to introduce  the  Starbucks  concept to a number of travel
plazas during the first half of 1998 in an effort to increase  customer  capture
and enhance real estate productivity on the tollroads. Travel plazas in Maryland
and Pennsylvania are currently  operating Starbucks kiosks and 12 more Starbucks
locations are planned.

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 21.5% to $15.8 million for
the  second  quarter  of 1998 when  compared  with the  second  quarter of 1997.
Revenues for the shopping  malls and  entertainment  segment grew 18.4% to $30.2
million for the first half of 1998  compared  to the same period in 1997.  These
increases can be  attributed to the opening of the Grapevine  Mills Mall and the
Vista  Ridge  Mall in the  fourth  quarter  of  1997,  as well as a  significant
increase in revenues at an entertainment location.

During the second  quarter of 1998,  the Company  announced  its first mall food
court  project with Chelsea GCA Realty,  Inc. to master lease 13,000 square feet
of food and  beverage  facilities,  including a food court and a 500 seat common
area, at the Leesburg  Corner  Premium  Outlets in Virginia.  The upscale outlet
center will be built in three  phases with the first phase  scheduled to open in
the fall of 1998.

Also during the second quarter of 1998, the Company announced that it reached an
agreement with Forest City Ratner  Companies to develop and manage 35,000 square
feet of food and beverage operations in its 42nd Street Entertainment and Retail
Project in New York. This project will be one of the Company's  largest mall and

entertainment  projects  with annual  sales  expected to exceed $15 million once
construction of the units has been completed in late 1999.

The Company currently has seven mall contracts with five leading  developers and
discussions  underway with many more developers.  A number of projects are under
discussion, including two in Europe.

OPERATING  COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Total  operating  costs and expenses were $270.9
million for the second  quarter of 1998,  or 93.8% of total  revenues,  compared
with $244.2 million for the second quarter of 1997, or 94.0% of total  revenues.
Total  operating  costs  and  expenses  for the first  half of 1998 were  $518.2
million,  or 95.8% of total revenues,  compared with $479.6 million, or 96.2% of
total revenues for the first half of 1997. The improved operating profit margins
reflect  operating  leverage  benefits  derived from revenue  growth and reduced
costs, primarily in other operating expenses.

Cost of sales for the second  quarter of 1998  increased  11.7% to $83.7 million
when  compared to the same  period in 1997.  Cost of sales for the first half of
1998  increased  11.0% to $158.0  million when  compared  with the first half of
1997. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues  increased 20 basis points
and 70  basis  points  during  the  second  quarter  and  first  half  of  1998,
respectively.  The margins are influenced by start-up activities at new food and
beverage  concepts  that  result in product  waste.  In  addition,  the  Company
experienced commodity cost increases in dairy products and premium coffee beans.

Payroll and benefits  totaled $84.5 million during the second quarter of 1998, a
9.7% increase over the second  quarter of 1997.  Payroll and benefits  increased
8.3% to $164.3  million  during the first half of 1998 when compared to the same
period in 1997. Payroll and benefits as a percentage of total revenues decreased
30 basis points for the second  quarter and remained  flat for the first half of
1998,  reflecting  benefits  from the use of labor  scheduling  software and the
implementation of store manager training programs.

Rent expense  totaled $44.7 million and $84.9 million for the second quarter and
first half of 1998,  an increase  of 9.0% and 4.9% above the second  quarter and
first half of 1997, respectively. Rent expense as a percentage of total revenues
improved  30 basis  points for the second  quarter  and 50 basis  points for the
first half of 1998 and can be  attributed to sales  increases on contracts  with
fixed rental rates,  as well as new or renewed  contracts  with  favorable  rent
margins.

Royalties  expense for the second  quarter and first half of 1998  increased  by
15.4% and 14.3% to $6.0 million and $11.2 million,  respectively,  when compared
with the same periods in 1997.  As a  percentage  of total  revenues,  royalties
expense  increased by 10 basis points for both the second quarter and first half
of 1998. These increases in royalties  expense reflects the Company's  continued
introduction  of  branded  concepts  to its  concessions  operations.  Royalties
expense as a  percentage  of branded  sales  totaled 6.2% and 6.6% in the second
quarter of 1998 and 1997,  respectively,  and totaled 6.1% and 6.6% in the first
half of 1998 and 1997, respectively. These margin decreases were 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 more than offset royalty  payments  required to operate the
concepts.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense,  excluding  $0.5  million of corporate
depreciation  on property  and  equipment  which is  included as a component  of
general and administrative expenses, was $12.5 million for the second quarter of
1998,   compared  to  $11.1   million,   excluding  $0.3  million  of  corporate
depreciation  on  property  and  equipment,  for the  second  quarter  of  1997.
Depreciation  and amortization for the first half of 1998 and 1997 totaled $23.6
million and $22.3 million,  excluding $1.0 million and $0.7 million of corporate
depreciation  on property and equipment,  respectively.  Increased  depreciation
related to the buildout of new branded locations and additional  amortization of
pre-opening  costs related to new mall  contracts was partially  offset by lower
depreciation  related to the  write-down  of one  impaired  airport  unit in the
fourth quarter of 1997.

General and administrative expenses were $13.5 million for the second quarter of
1998, an increase of 12.5% from a year ago. General and administrative  expenses
for the first half of 1998  increased  10.6% to $27.1  million  compared  to the
first half of 1997. These increases were primarily  attributable to the addition
of  corporate  resources  in  accounting,   systems,  business  development  and
strategic planning and marketing to focus on growth initiatives in the Company's
core markets and new venues,  as well as increased  consulting  costs associated
with  systems  initiatives.  During the first  half of 1998,  $400  thousand  in
external costs was included in general and  administrative  expenses relating to
the Company's Year 2000 compliance program.

Other  operating  expenses,   which  includes  utilities,   casualty  insurance,
equipment  maintenance,  trash removal and other  miscellaneous  expenses,  were
$26.0 million for the second  quarter of 1998, a 13.0%  increase from the second
quarter of 1997.  Other operating  expenses  increased 2.1% in the first half of
1998 to $49.1 million compared to a year ago. As a percentage of total revenues,
other  operating  expenses  increased 20 basis points for the second quarter and
decreased 50 basis points for the first half of 1998 when compared with the same
periods in 1997.  The majority of the margin  improvement  for the first half of
1998 was due to lower supplies expenses.

OPERATING PROFIT. As a result of the changes in revenues and operating costs and
expenses  discussed above,  operating profit increased 13.4% to $17.8 million or
6.2% of revenues for the second  quarter of 1998,  from $15.7 million or 6.0% of
revenues for the second  quarter of 1997.  Operating  profit  improved  17.8% to
$22.5  million  for the first half of 1998,  or 4.2% of revenues  compared  with
$19.1 million, or 3.8% of revenues for the same period in 1997.

Operating profit margins, before general and administrative expenses,  increased
for the  airports  business  line,  totaling  11.0% of airport  revenues for the
second quarter of 1998 as compared with 10.3% of airport revenues for the second
quarter  of  1997.   Airport   operating  profit  margin,   before  general  and
administrative expenses,  improved 60 basis points to 10.0% in the first half of
1998 compared to the same period in 1997.

Travel  plaza  operating  profit  margin,   before  general  and  administrative
expenses,  decreased 20 basis points to 12.3% for the second quarter of 1998 and
improved 60 basis points to 5.7% for the first half of 1998. The decrease in the
travel plaza operating profit margin for the second quarter can be attributed to
inclement  weather  experienced  throughout the northeastern U.S. during much of
the second  quarter,  as well as increased cost of sales and upward  pressure on
wages.  The improved  operating profit margin for the first half of 1998 was due
to increased  tollroad  traffic and management  fee income,  as well as moderate
price increases which more than offset the inclement weather,  increased cost of
sales and upward pressure on wages experienced in the second quarter of 1998.

The operating  profit  margin for shopping  malls and  entertainment,  excluding
general and administrative expenses, decreased to 5.1% for the second quarter of
1998 from 11.5% in the second quarter of 1997 and decreased to 4.6%

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED


in the first  half of 1998 from 7.8%  reported  in the first  half of 1997.  The
shopping  mall and  entertainment  operating  profit margin was  constrained  by
start-up costs,  including the amortization of pre-opening costs, related to the
opening of two new mall  contracts,  the negative  impact of the Asian crisis at
one Hawaiian  location and costs associated with the closing of an entertainment
location in Florida.

INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense  remained  flat at $9.2  million and $18.4
million for the second  quarter and first half of 1998 when compared to the same
periods in 1997,  reflecting the 9.5% fixed rate of interest on the $400 million
of Senior Notes.

INTEREST  INCOME.  Interest  income  decreased  to $0.2  million  for the second
quarter of 1998  compared with $0.8 million in the second  quarter of 1997.  The
second quarter of 1997 included $0.4 million of  non-recurring  interest  income
relating to a negotiated  agreement with an Airport  Authority which  reimbursed
the  Company  for the cost of funding  certain  capital  improvements.  Interest
income  decreased to $0.7 million for the first half of 1998  compared with $1.5
million for the same period in 1998. The decrease in first half of 1998 interest
income reflects the non-recurring interest income in the second quarter of 1997,
as well as decreased corporate  concentration account balances in the first half
of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.

INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 1998 and
1997 was $3.2 million and $2.9  million,  reflecting  an  effective  tax rate of
37.4% and 39.5% for the respective quarters.  Provision for income taxes for the
first half of 1998 and 1997 was $1.6  million  and $0.9  million,  respectively,
reflecting an effective tax rate of 33.0% and 39.5% for the respective  periods.
The decline in 1998  effective tax rates  reflects the reversal of the valuation
allowance  for  the  estimated  benefit  of  recognizing   certain  tax  credits
previously thought to be unrealizable.

NET INCOME.  Net income for the second quarter of 1998  increased  27.3% to $5.6
million  compared with $4.4 million for the second  quarter of 1997.  Net income
for the first half of 1998 increased to $3.2 million  compared with $1.3 million
for the same period in 1997.  The increase in net income for the second  quarter
and  first  half of 1998  reflects  strong  revenue  growth,  slightly  improved
operating profit margins and a favorable reduction in the corporate tax rate.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company funds its capital  requirements  with a combination of existing cash
balances and operating cash flow. The Company  believes that cash flow generated
from  ongoing  operations  and current cash  balances 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
existing  credit  facilities  and 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's  Senior Notes,  which will mature in May 2005,  were issued at par
and have a fixed coupon rate of 9.5%.  The Senior Notes can be called  beginning
in May 2000 at a price of 103.56%, declining to par in March 2003.

The Company is required to make semi-annual cash interest payments on its 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.

The  Senior  Notes  are  secured  by  a  pledge  of  stock  and  are  fully  and
unconditionally  guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain subsidiaries
(the "Guarantors") of the Company. The indenture governing the Senior Notes (the
"Indenture")  contains covenants that, among other things,  limit the ability of
the Company and certain 

                                       17

of its subsidiaries 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
consisting  of  a  $75.0  million   revolving  credit  facility  (the  "Revolver
Facility")  and a $25.0  million  letter of credit  facility.  The $75.0 million
Revolver Facility  provides for working capital and general  corporate  purposes
other than hostile  acquisitions.  The $25.0 million  letter of credit  facility
provides for the issuance of financial and nonfinancial  letters of credit.  Any
borrowings  under the Facilities  are senior  obligations of the Company and are
secured by Host Marriott  Services'  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
Senior Notes Indenture,  except that dividends payable to Host Marriott Services
are limited to 25% of the Company's  consolidated net income,  as defined in the
loan  agreement.  During the first  quarter of 1998 and in  compliance  with the
Facilities,  the Company paid dividends to Host Marriott  Services in the amount
of $4.7 million.  The loan agreements  also contain certain  financial ratio and
capital expenditure covenants. 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 Senior
Notes Indenture.  As of June 19, 1998 and throughout the twenty-four weeks ended
June 19, 1998, 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 and income  taxes,  totaled $32.8 million for the first half of
1998 as compared with $27.0 million for the same period in 1997. Working capital
is managed throughout the year to effectively  maximize the financial returns to
the Company.  If needed,  the Company's  Revolver  Facility  provides  funds for
liquidity, seasonal borrowing needs and other general corporate purposes.

The  primary  use  of  cash  in   investing   activities   consists  of  capital
expenditures.   The  Company  incurs  capital  expenditures  to  build  out  new
facilities,  including  growth  initiatives,  to expand or  reposition  existing
facilities  and to maintain the quality and  operations of existing  facilities.
The Company's  capital  expenditures  in the first half of 1998 and 1997 totaled
$36.6  million and $26.2  million,  respectively.  For the entire fiscal year of
1998, the Company presently expects to make capital  expenditure  investments of
approximately  $60.0  million in its core markets  (domestic  airport and travel
plaza  business  lines)  and  $15.0  million  in growth  markets  (international
airports,  food courts in U.S.  shopping malls and other venues).  The timing of
actual  capital  expenditures  can vary from that expected due to issues arising
pertaining  to project  scheduling  inherent in the  construction  and  approval
process.  The Company expects to fund 1998  expenditures with its operating cash
flow.

The  Company's  cash used in financing  activities in the first half of 1998 was
$8.0 million,  compared  with cash used in financing  activities of $3.3 million
for the same period in 1997.  The majority of cash used in financing  activities
during the first half of 1998 was attributable to $4.7 million of dividends paid
to Host Marriott Services, a $3.5 million payment in settlement of the Company's
obligation  to pay for the 1997 exercise of  nonqualified  stock options and the
1997 release of deferred stock incentive shares held by certain former employees
of Host Marriott  Corporation  and $0.6 million of debt  repayments.  Offsetting
these cash outflows for financing  activities  during the first half of 1998 was
cash provided by the issuance of debt  totaling $0.9 million.  During the second
quarter  of 1998  and in  compliance  with  the debt  covenants,  Host  Marriott
Tollroads,  Inc. (a wholly owned  subsidiary of Host Marriott  Services)  made a
short-term loan to the Company in the amount of $10.0 million.  The

loan  carried a fixed rate of  interest at 2-month  Libor of 6.9%.  The loan was
paid in full by the end of the second quarter of 1998.

Cash used in financing activities in the first half of 1997 was primarily due to
a cash payment in  settlement  of the  Company's  obligation to pay for the 1996
exercise  of options  and release of  deferred  stock  incentive  shares held by
certain former employees of Host Marriott  Corporation during the second quarter
of 1997 totaling $2.2 million. In addition, the Company had $0.7 million of debt
repayments and $0.4 million of foreign currency translation adjustments.

The  Company's   consolidated   earnings   before   interest   expense,   taxes,
depreciation,  amortization and other non-cash items  ("EBITDA")  increased $2.8
million,  or 9.8%,  to $31.4 million in the second  quarter of 1998.  The EBITDA
margin  decreased 10 basis points to 10.9% of revenues  from 11.0% in the second
quarter of 1997. EBITDA increased $4.3 million, or 9.7%, to $48.8 million in the
first  half of 1998.  The  EBITDA  margin  improved  10 basis  points to 9.0% of
revenues  in the first half of 1998 from 8.9% of  revenues  in the first half of
1997. The Company's cash interest  coverage ratio (defined as EBITDA to interest
expense less  amortization  of deferred  financing  costs) was 3.6 to 1.0 in the
first  half of 1998  compared  with 4.0 to 1.0 in the  first  half of 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 service  debt,  fund  capital  investments  and expand its  business.  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 net income to EBITDA:

Excluding  the $0.4  million  in  non-recurring  interest  income in the  second
quarter of 1997,  EBITDA would have increased by 11.4% for the second quarter of
1998  compared  to the same  period in 1997 and the  EBITDA  margin  would  have
remained  level  at 10.9%  between  the  periods.  Excluding  the  non-recurring

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 


                                       19

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED


(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 and 1997, 6 of the original 14 impaired  units were either  disposed
of or the lease term  expired.  As of June 19,  1998 and as a result of improved
operating  performance,  the remaining  eight  operating units had projected net
positive cash flows of  approximately  $1.7 million  (including  operating  cash
flows and necessary capital  expenditures)  over the remaining  weighted-average
life of the contracts of 2.9 years.


DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

Realization of the net deferred tax assets totaling $69.3 million as of June 19,
1998, 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 June 19,
1998.  Management  anticipates  that  increases in taxable  income will arise in
future  periods  primarily as a result of the Company's  growth  strategies  and
profit improvement  resulting from several strategic  initiatives focused on the
Company's business processes.  The anticipated  improvement in operating results
is  expected to  increase  the  taxable  income base to a level that would allow
realization of the existing net deferred tax assets within nine to twelve years.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company revised its interim effective tax
rate to reflect  the  reversal  of the  valuation  allowance  for the  estimated
benefit of  recognizing  certain tax  credits  that were  previously  considered
unrealizable.  During the third  quarter of 1997,  the  Company  recorded a $1.9
million benefit to recognize certain tax credits that were previously considered
unrealizable.

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 rise to the net deferred tax
assets.  Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion that
it is more likely than not that  operating  income will be sufficient to realize
the net  deferred  tax  assets.  The  amount  of the  net  deferred  tax  assets
considered realizable,  however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable
income are not achieved.


YEAR 2000

The Company is  currently  working to resolve the  potential  impact of the Year
2000 on the  Company's  operations.  The Year  2000  problem  is the  result  of
computer  programs  being written using two digits  (rather than four) to define
the  applicable  year.  Any of the Company's  programs or computer  hardware and
electronic  equipment  that have  time-sensitive  software or computer chips may
recognize  a date using "00" as a date  other  than the Year 2000,  which  could
result in miscalculations or system failures.  If the Company,  its customers or
its vendors are unable to resolve such processing  issues in a timely manner, it
could result in a material financial risk. Accordingly,  the Company is devoting
resources to resolve all significant Year 2000 issues in a timely manner as they
are identified. An action plan consisting of three phases was formulated in 1997
and phase  one was  completed  in the first  quarter  of 1998.  The first  phase
consisted  of  a  formulation  of  an  overall  assessment  of  the  issues  and
documentation  of an action  plan.  The  Company  anticipates  that all  mission
critical information technology systems at corporate headquarters, which perform
financial management processes,  will be Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1998.
Full completion of the action plan should occur in 1999.

The Company currently anticipates the funding of external cost for its Year 2000
systems compliance  program will total  approximately $1.5 million in 1998, $1.5
million in 1999 and $0.5 million in 2000.  Additionally,  final

remediation  may require further  capital  investments to replace  equipment and
software.  During the first half of 1998,  $0.4  million in external  costs were
incurred relating to Year 2000 implementation.

In addition to the risks  noted  above,  the  Company's  operations  may also be
affected by Year 2000 issues facing the Federal Aviation  Administration related
to air traffic control and security systems used in airports. These issues could
potentially  lead to  degraded  flight  safety,  grounded  or  delayed  flights,
increased  airline  costs and customer  inconvenience.  Since the Company is not
responsible for addressing these issues, it cannot control or predict the impact
on future  operations of the Year 2000 as it pertains to air traffic control and
airport security systems.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report,  the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  or furnished to  shareholders  and its public  statements  and press
releases  may  contain  "forward-looking  statements"  within the meaning of the
federal securities laws, including  statements  concerning the Company's outlook
for 1998 and beyond;  the growth in total revenue in 1998 and subsequent  years;
the amount of additional  revenues  expected from new domestic and international
shopping mall food court and airport  contracts  that were added in 1997 or that
are expected to be added or renewed in 1998 and  subsequent  years;  anticipated
retention rates of existing  contracts in core business lines;  capital spending
plans;  projected cash flows from certain operating units;  business  strategies
and their anticipated results;  and similar statements  concerning future events
and expectations that are not historical facts.

These   forward-looking   statements   are   subject  to   numerous   risks  and
