          generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  complete  financial
          statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
          of  normal  recurring  accruals)   considered  necessary  for  a  fair
          presentation have been included. The results of operations for interim
          periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  that may be
          expected  for a full year or any other  interim  period.  For  further

          three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $2,088,617 and $117,966,
          respectively.

   (3)    Sale of Hotel

                  On  June  30,  1999,  the  Company  completed  its  previously
                  reported  sale of the  Country  Hearth Inn located in Orlando,
                  Florida for $13.5  million.  The Company holds an  approximate
                  59%  interest  in the  partnership  which  owned  the hotel in
                  addition to holding  franchise and hotel management  contracts
                  relating to the operation of the property. Accounts receivable
                  at  June  30,  1999   includes   approximately   $9.1  million
                  representing   the  gross  proceeds  after  retirement  of  an
                  approximate  $4.4 million first mortgage loan. Such amount was
                  received  in July and after  payment of certain  fees,  costs,
                  bonuses,  and minority interest shares, the Company's share of
                  net proceeds will be approximately  $5.5 million.  The Company
                  has no  obligation  to continue to operate the  property,  but
                  plans to continue to operate the hotel under an agreement with
                  Orange County,  Florida (the purchaser) until December 2000 at
                  which time the  property is to be  demolished  to make way for
                  expansion of the Orange County Convention Center.

                  The pretax  impact of the Orlando  hotel sale is  reflected in
                  other  income for the three and six month  periods  ended June
                  30, 1999. In connection with the transaction,  other income in
                  such   periods   includes   franchise   termination   fees  of
                  approximately  $640,000  and  management  termination  fees of
                  approximately    $605,000.    Other   income   also   includes
                  approximately  $3 million which represents the Company's share
                  of the pretax gain on sale net of termination  fees to others,
                  cost accruals, and minority interest's share of the gain.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION.

First Half 1999

On June 30, 1999,  the Company  completed  its  previously  reported sale of the
Country Hearth Inn located in Orlando,  Florida for $13.5  million.  The Company
holds an approximate  59% interest in the  partnership  which owned the hotel in
addition to holding  franchise and hotel  management  contracts  relating to the
operation  of the  property.  Accounts  receivable  at June  30,  1999  includes
approximately  $9.1 million  representing the gross proceeds after retirement of
an approximate  $4.4 million first  mortgage  loan.  Such amount was received in
July and after payment of certain fees,  costs,  bonuses,  and minority interest
shares,  the Company's share of net proceeds will be approximately $5.5 million.
The Company has no obligation to continue to operate the property,  but plans to
continue to operate the hotel under an  agreement  with Orange  County,  Florida
(the  purchaser)  until  December  2000 at  which  time  the  property  is to be
demolished to make way for expansion of the Orange County Convention Center.

The Company sold its leasehold  interests in three hotel  properties  during the
first quarter of 1999 resulting in aggregate  gains of  approximately  $300,000.
These sales  represent a  continuation  of the  Company's  previously  announced
desire  to  divest  itself  of  older  properties.  Additional  such  sales  are
anticipated,  the  timing  of such and  impact  on  earnings  are not  presently
determinable.

During the second quarter of 1999,  the Company  entered into a contract for the
sale of one of its three 40-room hotel  properties in Texas. The sale was closed
in July and the Company is presently  marketing  the other two  properties.  The
Company  recognized  a  second  quarter  charge  of  $300,000  relating  to  the
establishment of valuation reserves for these three properties.

During the first half of 1999, the Company drew down $1 million on its bank line
of credit in order to fund working capital needs and  construction  commitments.
Also,  the Company  temporarily  suspended  payment of dividends on its Series A
preferred  stock.  As  has  been  previously  disclosed,   the  Company's  hotel
operations are highly seasonal.  Historically,  the Company's hotel revenues and
operating  profits have been  stronger  during the second and third  quarters as
opposed  to the first and  fourth  quarters.  Management  expects  this trend to
continue and further believes that the Company's  present liquidity and existing
commitments are adequate to sustain the current  operations of the Company.  The
line of credit was fully repaid in July from a portion of the proceeds  from the
Orlando  hotel sale.  The  Company  also  resumed  payment of Series A preferred
dividends.

The Company  has  continued  its  expansion  of the  Country  Hearth Inn lodging
system.  Nine  additional  properties have been opened in the first half of 1999
bringing the total to 46 properties  operating in fourteen states. An additional
24 properties are in various stages of development;  approximately half of which
are expected to open within the next 12 months.

Capital expenditures during the first half of 1999 aggregated approximately $2.2
million  and mostly  related to two new  Company  owned  Country  Hearth Inns in
Eddyville,  Kentucky and Washington Courthouse, Ohio. Approximately $1.5 million
of such  expenditures  was  funded  by  construction  loan  commitments  and the
remainder being funded by working capital and the Company's line of credit.


The Company  also has  continued  expansion  of its hotel  management  business.
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company entered into four additional hotel
management contracts with third party owners. During the second quarter of 1999,
the Company  announced an agreement to purchase 12 contracts for the  management
of  hotels  owned  by  affiliates  of  Quality  Lodging,  a  significant  master
franchisee  developer.  The  Company  began  management  of nine of these  hotel
properties in the third quarter.

Management  presently  intends to use the  remaining  proceeds  from the Orlando
hotel sale to fund working capital needs and to continue to invest in the growth
of the  Country  Hearth  Inn  lodging  system  and the  expansion  of its  hotel
management business.


First Half 1998

The Company began 1998 with 33 hotel properties  owned or leased,  36 properties
managed, and 29 Country Hearth Inn franchise properties open and operating.  The
30th Country Hearth Inn was opened in March 1998.

Construction of an additional Company owned Country Hearth Inn in Nicholasville,
Kentucky was underway and the Company  acquired  rights to a site in  Eddyville,
Kentucky  which  began   construction  in  the  second  quarter  of  1998.  Loan
commitments  were in place which  funded the major  portion of the  construction
costs for both of these projects. The Nicholasville property opened in September
1998 and the Eddyville property opened in March 1999.

Renovation  and  conversion of two Ohio  properties  to Country  Hearth Inns was
begun in the  first  quarter  using  funds  from  the  Company's  December  1997
debenture sale. Both conversions were completed during 1998.

Capital  expenditures in the first half of 1998 amounted to  approximately  $1.7
million. Construction and other loan commitments provided approximately $633,000
of these funds. The remainder was provided by a portion of the proceeds from the
Company's December 1997 sale of convertible debentures.

In May 1998,  the Company  acquired a 121-room  hotel in  Norcross,  Georgia for
approximately  $4 million,  most of which being  financed by the assumption of a
$3.8 million first mortgage loan.

In June 1998,  the Company  entered into lease  agreements for the operation and
management  of seven  hotels  owned by Host  Funding,  Inc.("Host").  The leased
properties  are  operated as "Sleep  Inns" and "Super 8" hotels;  are located in
Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Mississippi; and aggregate 450 rooms.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

The pretax impact of the Orlando hotel sale is reflected in other income for the
three  and six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  1999.  In  connection  with the
transaction, other income in such periods includes franchise termination fees of
approximately   $640,000  and  management   termination  fees  of  approximately
$605,000.  Other income also includes  approximately $3 million which represents
the  Company's  share  of the  pretax  gain on sale net of  termination  fees to
others,  cost accruals,  and minority interest's share of the gain. Other income
in the 1999 three and six month  periods also  includes  the $300,000  valuation
charge relating to the Texas hotel  properties.  Other income for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 also includes gains of  approximately  $300,000 and
$250,000,  respectively,  relating to the sale of  leasehold  interests in hotel
properties.

Earnings before interest,  taxes,  depreciation and amortization  ("EBITDA") for
the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999  and  1998  amounted  to  $5,478,474  and
$1,865,597,  respectively.  EBITDA for the three  months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 amounted to $4,753,931 and $1,403,103,  respectively.  Excluding the impact
of the property  transactions  described in the preceding paragraph,  EBITDA for
the 1999  three and six month  periods  amounted  to  $812,862  and  $1,230,345,
respectively,  versus  $1,136,021  and  $1,598,515,  respectively  for the  same
periods  in 1998.  Much of the 1999  decline  is  attributable  to  revenue  and
operating profit declines in the Company's older leasehold  properties which are
held for sale.  Also, the Company's  Orlando hotel  experienced a second quarter
operating profit decline of approximately  $125,000 attributable to a decline in
convention  center  business.  Second  quarter  1999 EBITDA was also  negatively
impacted by new property  openings  which take time to ramp up to normal  profit
levels. All other Company owned or leased properties generally  experienced 1999
revenue and operating  profit levels  comparable to or slightly higher than 1998
levels.  Rent expense  relating to the hotel leases  acquired  from Host in June
1998 amounted to $913,760 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus $167,991
in the same  period of 1998.  Such  amounts  are  included  in hotel  operations
expense in the accompanying condensed financial statements.

The  properties  presently  owned or  leased by the  Company  are  subject  to a
significant amount of seasonal fluctuation.  Most of the properties are expected
to be profitable  during the third quarter and will  generally not be profitable
during the fourth  quarter.  On an annual basis,  all properties are expected to
satisfy their debt,  rent,  and other cash  obligations in addition to providing
the Company with management and/or franchise fees.

Franchising profits increased over $600,000 due to the Orlando termination fees.
Franchising profits for the remainder of 1999 and beyond are expected to further
increase as a result of additional  franchise  property openings and a reduction
in payroll relating to the resignation of an executive officer.

Interest  income  increased  during the three and six month 1999  periods due to
increases in the notes  receivable  portfolio  resulting  from the 1998 and 1999
leasehold interest sales.

Other  operating  and  administrative  expenses  in the first  half of 1999 were
comparable to 1998 and in line with management expectations.

Changes in depreciation  and interest expense are directly related to changes in
property and equipment and related  mortgages  resulting from new  construction,
other acquisitions,  and disposals. Such amounts are expected to decrease in the
second half of 1999 as a result of the Orlando hotel sale.

The Company files income tax returns and recognizes income tax expense (benefit)
on an annual  calendar  basis.  The provisions for income tax expense  (benefit)
recognized  in  the  quarterly   condensed   financial   statements   represents
management's  estimates of the impact on the annual income tax expense (benefit)
which results from such quarter's operations.


YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The  Year  2000   compliance   issue  concerns  the  inability  of  computerized
information  systems to  accurately  calculate,  store or use a date after 1999.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations  causing disruptions of
operations.  The  Year  2000  issue  affects  virtually  all  companies  and all
organizations.  The Company  recognizes  the  importance  of  ensuring  that its
business  operations are not disrupted as a result of Year 2000 related computer
system and software issues.

The  Company  has   conducted   an   assessment   of  its   computer   and  data
telecommunications  information  systems ("IT Systems"),  as well those computer
systems  that  do not  relate  to  information  technology,  including,  without
limitation,  electronic locks,  telephone  systems,  elevators,  VCR's and other
guest service related systems ("Non-IT  Systems"),  to identify needed Year 2000
remediation.  The Company  currently  anticipates that its Year 2000 assessment,
remediation, and testing efforts will be completed prior to December 31, 1999.

The Company's home office, and management company IT Systems have been evaluated
and tested and are considered to be Year 2000 compliant.  All hotel front office
systems have been  evaluated.  Seven such systems were found not to be Year 2000
compliant and will need to be upgraded or replaced at an estimated total cost of
$40,000.

The Company has communicated with its significant  vendors and service providers
regarding the extent to which these entities have addressed Year 2000 compliance
issues. The most critical IT System, credit card processing, has been tested and
found to be Year 2000 compliant.  Other vendor and service provided systems such
as electronic  lock systems and guest related  telephone and television  systems
have been tested and found to be Year 2000  compliant.  All other less  critical
systems are currently being  evaluated.  Management  estimates that this overall
process is approximately 90% complete and expenditures to remediate any problems
encountered will not be significant.

The Company  has not  communicated  with its hotel  guests  regarding  Year 2000
compliance  issues,  since none of its guests is considered  to be  individually
significant  and the Company  receives no electronic  data from its guests other
than credit card information which is discussed above.

Based on the  Company's  assessments  and  available  information,  the  Company
believes that its cost to ensure Year 2000 compliance will not exceed  $100,000.
As of July 31, 1999 the Company had incurred  approximately  $15,000  related to
Year 2000  assessment,  remediation and testing.  The Company  believes that the
Year 2000 issue will not pose significant  operational problems for the Company.
However,  if all Year 2000 issues are not properly  identified,  or  assessment,
remediation and testing are not completed timely, there can be no assurance that
the Year 2000 issue will not materially  adversely impact the Company's  results
of  operations  or adversely  affect the  Company's  relationships  with guests,
vendors or others.  Additionally,  there can be no assurance  that the Year 2000
issues of other  entities,  including,  but not limited to, the Company's  third
party  vendors and service  providers  and its guests,  will not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's  systems or results of  operations.  The Company
has not engaged an independent expert solely to assist in its Year 2000 efforts.
However, when installing new software, the Company requires year 2000 compliance
assurances from its vendors.

The Company has not yet determined the operational costs and problems that would
be reasonably likely to result from the failure by the Company and certain third
parties to complete  efforts  necessary  to achieve  Year 2000  compliance  on a
timely basis.  The Company has not developed a contingency plan for dealing with
the most  reasonably  likely worst case scenario,  and such scenario has not yet
been clearly  identified.  The Company currently plans to complete such analysis
and contingency planning prior to December 31, 1999.

Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements regarding Year 2000 issues
should be read in conjunction with the cautionary  statement in the RISK FACTORS
section which follows.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

During the first half of 1999,  the Company  temporarily  suspended  payments of
Series A preferred stock dividends due to liquidity  requirements created by the
seasonal aspects of the Company's hotel operations. Such preferred dividends are
cumulative and would be required to be paid prior to any distributions to common
shareholders.  As of June 30,  1999,  a total of  $125,000 of Series A preferred
dividends were in arrears.
