(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of Hospitality Worldwide Services, Inc.
and Subsidiaries (the "Company") and related notes thereto as of June 30, 1997
and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are presented as unaudited
but in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the information set forth therein. These adjustments consist solely of
normal recurring accruals. The consolidated balance sheet information for
December 31, 1996 was derived from the audited financial statements included in
the Company's Form 10-KSB. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with that report. The interim results are not necessarily indicative
of the results for any future period.
NOTE 2: ACQUISITIONS
On August 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
business, and assumed certain liabilities, of AGF Interior Services, Inc. (d/b/a
Hospitality Restoration and Builders) ("AGF"), through its newly formed
subsidiary corporation, Hospitality Restoration and Builders, Inc. ("HRB"). HRB
provides interior and exterior cosmetic renovation and maintenance for leading
hotel and hospitality customers nationwide. The acquisition was accounted for as
a purchase with the results of HRB included from the acquisition date.
On January 10, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of The Leonard Parker
Company and affiliates ("LPC"), including its then subsidiary, Parker Reorder
Corporation ("Parker Reorder"). LPC, a purchasing company for the hospitality
industry, acts as an agent for the purchase of goods and services for its
customers which include major hotel and management companies worldwide. LPC
purchases furniture, fixtures and equipment, kitchen supplies, linens and
uniforms, guestroom amenities, and other supplies to meet its customers'
requirements for new hotel openings and major renovations. Parker Reorder is a
development stage company that provides hotel properties with the ability to
order, on an as needed basis, operating supplies and equipment ("OS & E") used
by such properties. The products include china, silverware and guest amenities,
which will be purchased via computer link. Parker Reorder is currently
developing a new proprietary software product ("Parker FIRST"), which allows
clients to reorder OS & E and other products on-line and will provide such
clients with access to forecasting and product evaluation capabilities. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase method of accounting with the
results of LPC and Parker Reorder included in the consolidated financial
statements of the Company from the acquisition date.
NOTE 3: NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share of common stock was computed by dividing the net income by
the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period.
NOTE 4: PRO FORMA INFORMATION
The following pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared to
reflect the acquisition of the assets and business of LPC. The pro forma
financial information is based on the historical financial statements of the
Company and LPC, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
footnotes. The accompanying pro forma financial information is presented as if
the transaction occurred January 1, 1996. The pro forma financial information is
unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of
operation of the Company would have been assuming the transaction had been
completed as of January 1, 1996, and neither is it necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for future periods.

The above unaudited pro forma statements have been adjusted to reflect the
amortization of goodwill, as generated by the acquisition, over a 30-year
period, adjustments to reflect LPC's officer's employment agreements entered
into at date of acquisition, dividends of 6% on $5,000,000 preferred shares,
additional income taxes on LPC's proforma income, and the issuance of 1,250,000
common shares in the transaction .
NOTE 5: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In May 1997, the Company exercised an option to purchase 500,000 shares of
common stock from its former President and Chief Executive Officer for
$2,210,000. The option was part of a reorganization plan adopted on February 26,
1996.
In May 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement to Joint Venture ("JV
Agreement") with Apollo Real Estate Advisors II, L.P. ("Apollo") and Watermark
Limited LLC ("Watermark LLC"), a major shareholder of the Company, to identify,
acquire, renovate, refurbish and sell hotel properties. The Company will perform
all of the renovation and procurement services for each of the properties
purchased by the joint venture. In addition, the Company will receive a five
percent equity interest in each of the entities formed to purchase such
properties in exchange for its contribution of five percent of the total equity
required to acquire, renovate and sell such properties. The joint venture
intends to own and operate the properties only for the time necessary to upgrade
and market them for resale. As an inducement to enter into the JV Agreement, the
Company issued to Apollo a seven year warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of
Common Stock at $8.115 per share. The warrant expires in 2004. The warrant is
currently exercisable as to 250,000 shares and becomes exercisable as to the
remaining 500,000 shares in increments of 100,000 shares for every $7,500,000 of
incremental revenue realized by the Company from the joint venture.
The Company is pursuing a public offering of its securities. On July 22, 1997,
the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 for the offering of
2,500,000 shares of Common Stock.
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
per share. SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 6: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company performs renovation services for Watermark LLC, the Company's major
shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company revised a
renovation contract with Watermark in order to adjust the contract to a gross
margin percentage consistent with the Company's high end projects. The revision
was made due to the complexity and length of the project. As a result of the
revision, the Company recognized additional revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 of $409,000, and a job to date adjustment of $778,000, resulting
in additional gross margin of approximately $770,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. As of June 30, 1997 the Company has a total receivable balance of
$1,223,000 from Watermark LLC.

HOSPITALITY WORLDWIDE SERVICES INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Hospitality Worldwide Services, Inc. (the "Company"), has evolved over the past
two years from a narrowly focused lighting fixture design, manufacturing and
installation company formerly known as Light Savers U.S.A., Inc., into one of
the leading providers of a broad range of outsourcing services to the
hospitality industry. These services include hotel renovation, procuring hotel
furniture, fixtures and equipment and reordering hotel operating supplies and
equipment.This rapid evolution resulted from two primary factors: (i) the
acquisition of the assets comprising the business of Hospitality Restoration and
Builders, Inc. ("HRB") and the acquisition of The Leonard Parker Company
("LPC"), including its then subsidiary, Parker Reorder Corporation ("Parker
Reorder") and (ii) the Company's disposition of its lighting business.
From its inception in 1991 to August 1995, the Company's only source of revenues
was its decorative energy-efficient lighting fixture design, manufacturing and
installation business. The Company acquired its renovation business in August
1995 and disposed of its lighting business in February 1996. As part of its
strategy to further its position as one of the leading providers of renovation
and procurement services for the hospitality industry on a global basis, the
Company acquired its procurement and reorder business in January 1997. As a
result of this significant change in the Company's business focus, period to
period historical comparisons are not considered meaningful.
Additionally, historical comparisons are not considered meaningful because
revenue recognition methodologies vary across the Company's businesses. The
Company recognizes all revenues associated with a renovation project on a
percentage of completion basis, as if the Company were a general contractor. As
part of this process, the Company develops a complete scope of work to be
performed and invoices its clients on a monthly or bi-monthly basis as work is
performed. The Company's cost of renovation services has been relatively stable
over the past two years. In contrast to the Company's recognition of renovation
revenues, the Company recognizes procurement revenues in two ways: (i) when the
Company acts as a purchaser and reseller of products, the Company recognizes all
revenues associated with the products it purchases at the time of shipment of
the product or (ii) when the Company acts as an agent only, service fee income
is recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided. In either case,
the Company charges its clients a procurement fee based upon the amount of time
and effort it expects to spend on a project. The Company intends to continue to
expand its role as a purchaser and reseller because the Company believes that it
can enter into more advantageous arrangements with its vendors when acting as
principal rather than agent. Under both methods of procurement revenue
recognition, profits primary include only procurement service fees. The Company
realizes reorder revenues based on the fees it charges its clients for services
rendered.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Revenues increased $28,291,000, or 300.4%, to $37,708,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to $9,417,000, for the six months ended June 30,
1996, due in large part to the acquisition of LPC, which contributed
approximately $27,000,000 to such revenues. Revenues for the renovation business
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased $1,800,000 due to further
development of its customer base through increased sales and marketing efforts.
Cost of revenues increased $22,203,000, or 324.7%, to $29,694,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $6,991,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of LPC, which
incurred costs of approximately $22,800,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June
30, 1997 increased to 78.7%, compared to 74.2% for the six months ended June 30,
1996. The cost of renovation revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997
decreased to
10
<PAGE>
HOSPITALITY WORLDWIDE SERVICES INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
64.6%, compared to 74.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. During the six
months ended June 30, 1997, the Company amended its renovation contract with
Watermark LLC, a major shareholder of the Company, to a gross margin more
consistent with the Company's other high-end projects, due to the complexity and
length of the project. The result was an adjustment to increase the Company's
renovation gross margin on the project by approximately $770,000. Cost of
procurement revenues as a percentage of procurement revenues has remained
relatively unchanged.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1997 increased $4,842,000, or 341.5%, to $6,260,000, compared to $1,418,000, for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. Contributing to this increase was the
acquisition of the procurement and reorder businesses, which incurred expenses
of $4,199,900. These expenses include significant development costs for the
Parker FIRST software. Additionally, selling, general and administrative
expenses include $394,000 and $213,000 of goodwill amortization for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As a percentage of revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1997 increased to 16.6% from 15.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased to
$1,754,000, or 4.7% of revenues, compared to $1,008,000, or 10.7% of revenues,
for six months ended June 30, 1996. The Company's procurement business
contributed $385,000 to income from operations for the six months ended June 30,
1997. The Company's procurement business traditionally has a lower operating
margin than that of its renovation business as a significant portion of its
procurement revenues and costs include the resale of furniture and fixtures at
little or no markup. The Company's procurement income is the result of
procurement fees charged to its clients based upon the amount of time and effort
it expects to spend on projects.
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 49.8%,
compared to 26.9% for the same period last year. The increase in the effective
tax rate to 49.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 is primarily due to the
nondeductibility of the amortization of goodwill on the LPC acquisition, and the
benefits of all net operating loss carryforwards previously recognized.
As a result of the foregoing, net income applicable to common shareholders for
the sixmonths ended June 30, 1997 was $672,000, or $.07 per share, compared to
$739,000, or $.11 per share, for the same period last year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's short-term and long-term liquidity requirements generally consist
of operating capital for its procurement and renovation businesses and selling,
general and administrative expenses. Historically, the Company has satisfied its
short-long term liquidity requirements with cash generated from operations and
periodic utilization of its lines of credit. Due to the nature of the Company's
business, with a majority of its resources allocated to personnel for
performance of its services, capital requirements are insignificant. There are
substantial capital requirements necessary to beta test Parker FIRST as well as
anticipated additional costs necessary to sell and market the final product.
These future commitments, however, are at the discretion of the Company's
management. As a result, the Company can use its operating cash and available
credit facilities for operating needs.
Net cash used for operating activities was $635,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, compared to $543,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's accounts receivable
increased by $2,396,000, resulting from the growth in revenue. This increase was
partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$714,000. The Company started a significant number of renovation projects in
June 1997, resulting in significant month end billings that the Company believes
will be collected during the third quarter of 1997. Net cash used by investing
activities decreased $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
11

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $706,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. The positive cash flow for the six months ended June
30, 1996 is the result of the sale of marketable securities. The 1997 investing
activities include an investment in the development of the Parker FIRST software
and leasehold improvements for the Company's corporate offices of $516,000.
As of June 30, 1997 the Company had drawn $2,295,000 under its line of credit
(the "Line of Credit") with Marine Midland Bank of New York ("Marine"). The Line
of Credit matures on September 30, 1997 and bears interest at Marine's prime
lending rate plus .5% and is secured by all of the Company's assets and is
guaranteed by HRB. The Company increased the Line of Credit to $2,500,000.
Proceeds from the Line of Credit are used to fund short-term cash requirements.
The Company also has available through LPC a $1,000,000 line of credit with
United Nations Bank (the "LPC Line of Credit"), which bears interest at a rate
of prime plus .25%, and is secured by accounts receivable of LPC. There were
borrowings of $200,000 under the LPC Line of Credit as of June 30, 1997.
In January 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
LPC. The purchase price for LPC of approximately $12.4 million consisted of
1,250,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock and 200,000 shares of 6%
redeemable convertible preferred, $25 stated value per share, which are
convertible, on a formula basis, into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject
to upward adjustment to a maximum of 5,000,000 shares in the event that the
market price of the Common Stock is below $5.00 at the time of conversion)
during the period from January 10, 1998 to January 10, 2000.
In May 1997, the Company borrowed $2.2 million from Findim Investments S.A. for
a period of six months, which bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, in
order to exercise its option to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock from
Tova Schwartz, the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer.
Since January 1, 1996, the Company has issued 864,084 shares of Common Stock in
private placements and through the exercise of options and warrants, raising an
aggregate of $1,333,565. During such time, the Company repurchased an aggregate
of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock from Tova Schwartz for an aggregate purchase
price of $3,175,000.
As the Company grows and continues to explore opportunities for strategic
alliances and acquisitions, investment in additional support systems, including
infrastructure and personnel, will be required. The Company expects to increase
its costs and expenses over the remainder of 1997 as it continues to invest in
the development of Parker FIRST. Although these increases may result in a
short-term reduction in operating margin as a percentage of revenues, the
Company anticipates that its investments, including the development of Parker
FIRST, will have a positive impact on its net revenues on a long-term basis. The
Company is anticipating commercial introduction of the Parker FIRST software by
the first quarter of 1998. The Company anticipates making substantial
expenditures as it continues to explore expansion though strategic alliances and
acquisitions.
To support the Company's growth, as well as to support potential acquisitions of
hospitality-related businesses and the formation of strategic alliances, the
Company is currently pursuing a public offering. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to sell all or any of its stock through a public
offering. Although the Company believes that its current cash, cash equivalents
and lines of credit, together with the proceeds from its public offering, will
be sufficient to carry out its business strategy for the nest 18 months, if the
Company does not obtain the funds required to meet these requirements, the
Company's expansion plans would have to be scaled back or terminated, and the
ongoing operations of the Company could be materially adversely affected.
