              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Jameson Inns, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT")  headquartered in Atlanta which develops and owns limited service
hotel properties  ("Inns") operating in the southeastern United States under the
trademark "The Jameson Inn (R)". At June 30, 1997, the Company had a total of 71
Inns either in  operation or under  development,  including 50 Inns in operation
(2,407 available rooms),  15 Inns under  construction and contracts to acquire 6
parcels of land on which  additional Inns are expected to be constructed  during
1997 or 1998.  Upon  completion of these  projects,  the Company will have 3,287
available rooms.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1996 has
been derived from the audited  consolidated  financial  statements at that date.
Operating  results for the three month period or six month period ended June 30,
1997 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year  ended  December  31,  1997  or  any  other  interim  period.  For  further
information,  refer  to the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes
thereto  included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
31, 1996.

2. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On March 10, 1997,  the Company  completed  the sale of  2,300,000  newly issued
shares  of common  stock at $12 per  share  before  underwriting  discounts  and
expenses.  Net proceeds of approximately  $26 million were used to repay certain
existing   mortgage   indebtedness  at  that  date.  The  Company   recorded  an
extraordinary  loss of $689,542 due to prepayment  penalties and the writeoff of
unamortized deferred finance costs.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

In 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board released  Statement No. 128,
Earnings Per Share,  which generally simplifies the calculation of earnings per
share.  The Company  will adopt the new  standard  in fourth  quarter  1997, as
required; however, the effect is not expected to be material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the Jameson Inns,
Inc.  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Jameson Inns, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered real estate investment
trust ("REIT")  headquartered in Atlanta which develops and owns limited service
hotel properties  ("Inns") operating in the southeastern United States under the
trademark "The Jameson Inn (R)." At June 30, 1997, the Company had a total of 71
Inns either in  operation or under  development,  including 50 Inns in operation
(2,407 available rooms),  15 Inns under  construction and contracts to acquire 6
parcels of land on which  additional Inns are expected to be constructed  during
1997 or 1998.  Upon  completion of these  projects,  the Company expects to have
3,287 available rooms.

The Company's  primary  source of revenue is rent payments by Jameson  Operating
Company (the "Operator")  under a master lease (the "Lease") covering all of the
Inns in  operation.  The  expenses  of the Company  consist of  property  taxes,
insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt and depreciation of the
Inns. The Lease  provides for the payment of Base Rent and Percentage  Rent. For
the quarter ended June 30, 1997,  Base Rent and Percentage Rent in the aggregate
amount of $3.2 million was earned by the Company.  The principal  determinant of
Percentage  Rent  is  the  Operator's  Room  Revenues  of the  Inns.  Therefore,
management  believes  that  a  review  of  the  historical  performance  of  the
operations  of the  operating  Inns,  particularly  with  respect to  occupancy,
average  daily rate  ("ADR")  and  revenue  per  available  room  ("REVPAR")  is
appropriate for understanding the Lease revenue.

The following table shows certain historical financial and other information for
the periods indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison  of the Three  Months  Ended June 30, 1997 to the Three  Months Ended
June 30, 1996.

Lease  revenue for the Company  for the three month  period  ended June 30, 1997
increased 33% to $3.2 million as compared to $2.4 million for the same period in
1996. The increase was due to the increase in the Operator's Room Revenues.

The number of room nights available increased from 154,017 in 1996 to 207,188 in
1997,  or 35%,  due to the opening from January 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 of
18 new 40-room Inns and seven 20- to 26-room  expansions of existing Inns.
The occupancy  rate  decreased  from 72.52% during the second quarter of 1996 to
68.79%  during  the  second  quarter of 1997,  as a result of the  expansion  of
certain  higher  occupancy inns and increased  competition  in certain  markets.
However,  ADR increased 5% from $45.14 in 1996 to $47.32 in 1997. As a result of
these three  factors,  second  quarter Room Revenues rose 33%, from $5.2 million
for 1996 to $6.9  million in 1997.  Same Inn Room  Revenues  in 1997 versus 1996
grew to $5.1 million from $5.0 million,  or 2%. The growth is due to an increase
in ADR from  $45.08 to  $46.79  for  these  Inns,  an  increase  in room  nights
available  (due to expansions of certain of these Inns) from 151,137 to 157,069,
partially  offset by a decrease in the occupancy  rate from 72.33% to 67.95% for
these Inns for 1997 compared to 1996.

General and  administrative  expense  includes  overhead charges for management,
accounting  and legal  services  for the  corporate  home  office.  General  and
administrative  expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $86,048, as
compared to $180,193 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The reduction in
the 1997 expense as compared to 1996 is  attributable in part to less time spent
on REIT activities resulting in lower allocated overhead charges.

Property  taxes and  insurance  expenses  totaled  $269,350  for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997 compared to $164,236 for the same period in 1996. The
increase is attributable to the increase in number of Inns.

                                      -10-



     

Interest expense  decreased from $275,736 for the three-month  period ended June
30, 1996 to $21,305 for the same period ended June 30, 1997,  due to the greater
amount of average  principal  indebtedness  outstanding in the second quarter of
1996.  Interest  expense amounts are net of interest  capitalized in the cost of
new Inn development.

Depreciation  expense  increased  from  $640,284 to $928,522 for the three month
periods  ended June 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively,  due to an increase in the
number of operating Inns.


Comparison  of the Six Months  Ended June 30, 1997 to the Six Months  Ended June
30, 1996.

Lease  revenue  for the  Company  for the six month  period  ended June 30, 1997
increased 40% to $6.0 million as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in
1996. The increase was due to the increase in the Operator's Room Revenues.

The number of room nights available increased from 294,571 in 1996 to 402,667 in
1997,  or 37%,  due to the opening from January 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 of
eighteen new 40-room Inns and seven 20- to 26-room  expansions of existing Inns.
The  occupancy  rate  decreased  from  68.62%  to  66.23%  for  1996  and  1997,
respectively  as a result of the expansion of certain higher  occupancy inns and
increased competition in certain markets.  However, ADR increased 4% from $44.59
in 1996 to $46.50 in 1997.  As a result of these three  factors,  Room  Revenues
rose 37%,  from $9.3  million for 1996 to $12.7  million in 1997.  Same Inn Room
Revenues in 1997 versus 1996 grew to $9.2 million from $8.9 million,  or 3%. The
growth is due to an increase  in ADR from  $44.48 to $45.97 for these  Inns,  an
increase in room nights  available  (due to expansions of certain of these Inns)
from 284,331 to 296,389,  partially  offset by a decrease in the occupancy  rate
from 68.69% to 65.58% for these Inns for 1997 compared to 1996.

General and  administrative  expense  includes  overhead charges for management,
accounting  and legal  services  for the  corporate  home  office.  General  and
administrative  expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $158,080,  as
compared to $314,941 for the six months ended June 30,  1996.  The  reduction in
the 1997 expense as compared to 1996 is  attributable in part to less time spent
on REIT activities resulting in lower allocated overhead charges.

Property taxes and insurance  expenses totaled $489,824 for the six month period
ended June 30,  1997  compared  to  $305,942  for the same  period in 1996.  The
increase is attributable to the increase in number of Inns.

Interest expense decreased from $965,979 for the six-month period ended June 30,
1996 to $367,72l  for the same period  ended June 30,  1997,  due to the greater
amount of average  principal  indebtedness  outstanding  during  1996.  Interest
expense  amounts  are  net of  interest  capitalized  in  the  cost  of new  Inn
development.

Depreciation  expense  increased from $1,250,673 to $1,784,388 for the six month
periods  ended June 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively,  due to an increase in the
number of operating Inns.


FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Industry analysts  generally consider funds from operations (FFO) an appropriate
measure  of an equity  REIT's  performance.  The  Company  uses the  March  1995
interpretation  of the  NAREIT  definition  of funds  from  operations  which is
calculated  (in the  Company's  case) as net income plus  depreciation,  loss on
disposal of furniture and  equipment and  extraordinary  items,  if  applicable.
Other non-cash  expenses such as amortization  and stock option expense have not
been added back in FFO. The Company's method of calculating FFO may be different
from methods used by other REITs and accordingly, may not be comparable to such
other REITs.  Funds from operations  should not be considered an alternative to
net income as an indicator of the  Company's  operating  performance  or to cash
flow as a measure of liquidity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In January  1997,  the Company  filed a shelf  registration  statement  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  that  provides  for  the  issuance  of an
aggregate  of up to $100  million in Common  Stock,  Preferred  Stock and Common
Stock  warrants to be offered and sold from time to time. On March 10, 1997, the
Company  completed the sale of 2,300,000  newly issued shares of common stock at
$12 per share  before  underwriting  discounts  and  expenses.  Net  proceeds of
approximately   $26  million  were  used  to  repay  certain  existing  mortgage
indebtedness  at that date. The Company  intends to use future net proceeds,  if
any,  from any sale of  securities  under such  registration  statement  for the
repayment  of existing  indebtedness,  working  capital  and  general  corporate
purposes.

Since its election to be taxed as a REIT, the Company has financed and currently
intends to continue  financing the  construction  of new Inns entirely with bank
borrowings.  At June 30,  1997,  the Company had  approximately  $9.9 million in
outstanding  debt. It is management's  intention to continue to borrow from some
or all of its previous lenders to finance future projects.

At June 30,  1997,  the Company had a $36  million  line of credit (the  "Line")
convertible  in June  1999 to a term  note and  approximately  $34  million  was
available for  borrowing.  Loans made under the Line are secured by mortgages on
30 of  the  Inns.  Construction  and  long-term  mortgages  are  expected  to be
available to fund the balance of  construction  costs not funded under the Line.
For each new Inn  developed by the Company,  generally a  construction  loan for
approximately $1.1 million has been obtained. Each construction loan converts to
a long-term  mortgage upon  completion of the Inn without any further  action by
the  Company.  As of June 30,  1997,  the Company had 15 Inns  unencumbered  and
available to use as collateral for any additional financing.

The  Company  expects  to  continue  to  develop  additional  Inns  as  suitable
opportunities  arise,  and the Company  will not  undertake  investments  unless
adequate  sources  of  financing  are  available.   The  Company   currently  is
constructing a new 40-room Inn in Auburn,  Jasper,  Sylacauga,  and  Tuscaloosa,
Alabama; Dublin, Macon, and Perry, Georgia; Asheboro, Dunn, Sanford, and Wilson,
North Carolina;  Duncan, South Carolina; and Clinton,  Tennessee;  and a 60-room
Inn in Warner  Robbins,  Georgia  and Johnson  City,  Tennessee.  The  expected
construction  price for the Inns currently under  construction is $20.9 million,
of which  approximately  $5.4 million had been  expended at June 30,  1997.  The
Company may in the future expand Inns if management  determines  that sufficient
market demand exists and financing is available for any such expansion.

As with most real estate investments,  the Company's investments in the Inns are
relatively  illiquid  and such  illiquidity  is further  increased  by the Inns'
location in small  communities.  As a result, the ability of the Company to sell
or otherwise dispose of any Inn to provide liquidity may be very limited.

THE OPERATOR

The Company seeks to enhance Lease revenue by working in a collaborative  manner
with the Operator.  Presently,  the Operator also has an exclusive  relationship
with the Company in that the Operator does not manage any hotel properties other
than the Inns. The Company believes this exclusive relationship ensures that the
Company's and the Operator's  interests are well-aligned.  The Operator is owned
9.9% by Thomas W. Kitchin,  Chairman,  President and Chief Executive  Officer of
the Company,  and 90.1% by a grantor  trust of which  Steven A. Curlee,  General
Counsel and Secretary of the Company, is the trustee. While the Company does not
control the operations of the Operator or the day-to-day  operation of the Inns,
the two  companies  work  together to enhance both  occupancy and ADR. The Lease
formula  allows  the  Company  to  benefit  from  increases  in  Room  Revenues,
regardless of the mix between occupancy and ADR.

The following table summarizes the unaudited  financial results of the Operator.
The  comparison of revenues of the Operator  between the two periods is the same
as that described above for the Company.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

There are a number of statements in this report which address activities, events
or developments  which the Company  expects or anticipates  will or may occur in
the future,  including such things as the Company's  expansion plans,  including
construction  of new Inns and expansion of existing Inns,  availability  of debt
financing and capital,  payment of quarterly dividends and other matters.  These
statements are based on certain  assumptions and analyses made by the Company in
the light of its  experience and its  perception of historical  trends,  current
conditions  and  expected  future  developments,  as well as  other  factors  it
believes  are  appropriate  under the  circumstances.  However,  whether  actual
results  and  developments  will  conform  to  the  Company's  expectations  and
predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (1) the
Company's ability to (a) secure  construction and permanent financing to finance
such  development on terms and conditions  favorable to the Company,  (b) assess
accurately  the market demand for new Inns and  expansions of existing Inns, (c)
identify  and  purchase  new sites  which meet its various  criteria,  including
reasonable  land  prices,  (d)  contract  for the  construction  of new Inns and
expansions of existing Inns in a manner which produces Inns  consistent with its
present  quality and  standards  at a  reasonable  cost and without  significant


<PAGE>
                                      -15-





    

delays,  (e) provide ongoing renovation and refurbishment of the Inns sufficient
to maintain  consistent quality among the Inns, and (f) manage its business in a
cost-effective  manner  given  the  increase  in the  number  of  Inns;  (2) the
Operator's  willingness and ability to manage the Inns  profitably;  (3) general
economic,  market and  business  conditions,  particularly  those in the lodging
industry generally and in the geographic markets where the Inns are located; (4)
the  business  opportunities  (or lack  thereof)  that may be  presented  to and
pursued by the Company; (5) the availability of qualified managers and employees
necessary for the Company's  planned growth;  (6) changes in laws or regulations
and (7) other  factors,  most of which are  beyond the  control of the  Company.
Consequently,  all of the  forward-looking  statements  made in this  report are
qualified by these cautionary  statements and there can be no assurance that the
actual results or developments  anticipated by the Company will be realized,  or
even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to
or effects on the Company or its business or operations.
