              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 September 30, 1997, the Company had a total
of 70 Inns  either  in  operation  or under  development,  including  54 Inns in
operation (2,567 available rooms),  13 Inns under  construction and contracts to
acquire  3  parcels  of  land  on  which  additional  Inns  are  expected  to be
constructed  during 1998. Upon  completion of these  projects,  the Company will
have 3,247 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 nine  month  period  ended
September  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.

                                                                              8

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 September 30, 1997, the Company had a total
of 70 Inns  either  in  operation  or under  development,  including  54 Inns in
operation (2,567 available rooms),  13 Inns under  construction and contracts to
acquire  3  parcels  of  land  on  which  additional  Inns  are  expected  to be
constructed during 1998. Upon completion of these projects,  the Company expects
to have 3,247 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  September 30, 1997,  Base Rent
and  Percentage  Rent in the aggregate  amount of $3.6 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  September  30, 1997 to the Three Months
Ended September 30, 1996.

Lease  revenue for the Company for the three month  period ended  September  30,
1997  increased  34% to $3.6  million as compared  to $2.7  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 164,827 in 1996 to 224,083 in
1997, or 36%, due to the opening from January 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997
of 22 new 40-room Inns and seven 20- to 26-room expansions of existing Inns. The
occupancy  rate decreased from 70.41% during the third quarter of 1996 to 68.81%
during the third quarter of 1997, as a result of the expansion of certain higher
occupancy  Inns and  increased  competition  in certain  markets.  However,  ADR
increased  from  $47.81 in 1996 to $47.93  in 1997.  As a result of these  three
factors,  third  quarter Room  Revenues  rose 34%, from $5.7 million for 1996 to
$7.6 million in 1997.  Same Inn Room Revenues in 1997 versus 1996 decreased from
$5.1  million to $5.0  million,  or 2%. The decrease is due to a decrease in ADR
from $47.79 to $47.44 for these  Inns,  a decrease  in the  occupancy  rate from
70.40% to 67.06% for these Inns,  partially offset by an increase in room nights
available  (due to  expansions of certain of these Inns) from 148,347 to 152,431
for 1997 compared to 1996. The decrease in ADR is due to higher than normal ADRs
during the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.

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  September  30,  1997 was
$103,893, as compared to $168,402 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
The reduction in the 1997 expense as compared to 1996 is  attributable  to lower
costs  and less  time  spent on REIT  activities  resulting  in lower  allocated
overhead charges.

Property  taxes and  insurance  expenses  totaled  $297,249  for the three month
period  ended  September  30, 1997  compared to $188,364  for the same period in
1996. The increase is attributable to the increase in number of Inns.
                                                                             10

Interest  expense  decreased  from  $180,838  for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1996 to $127,769 for the same period ended September 30, 1997, due
to the greater amount of average principal indebtedness outstanding in the third
quarter of 1996. Interest expense amounts are net of interest capitalized in the
cost of new Inn development.

Depreciation  expense  increased  from  $687,444 to $979,002 for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively,  due to an increase in
the number of operating Inns.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended  September 30, 1997 to the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1996.

Lease revenue for the Company for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
increased 36% to $9.5 million as compared to $7.0 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 459,398 in 1996 to 626,750 in
1997, or 37%, due to the opening from January 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997
of 22 new 40-room Inns and seven 20- to 26-room expansions of existing Inns. The
occupancy rate  decreased from 69.26% to 67.16% 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 3% from $45.77 in 1996 to
$47.02 in 1997. As a result of these three factors, Room Revenues rose 37%, from
$14.9 million for 1996 to $20.3 million in 1997.  Same Inn Room Revenues in 1997
versus 1996 grew to $14.1 million from $14 million,  or 1%. The growth is due to
an increase  in ADR from  $45.63 to $46.48 for these  Inns,  an increase in room
nights  available  (due to  expansions of certain of these Inns) from 432,678 to
448,820,  partially  offset by a decrease in the  occupancy  rate from 69.28% to
66.08% 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  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  was
$261,973,  as compared to $483,343 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The reduction in the 1997 expense as compared to 1996 is  attributable  to lower
costs  and less  time  spent on REIT  activities  resulting  in lower  allocated
overhead charges.

Property taxes and insurance expenses totaled $787,073 for the nine month period
ended  September 30, 1997 compared to $494,306 for the same period in 1996.  The
increase is attributable to the increase in number of Inns.

Interest  expense  decreased  from  $1,146,817  for the nine month  period ended
September 30, 1996 to $495,490 for the same period ended September 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 $1,938,117 to $2,763,390 for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively,  due to an increase in
the number of operating Inns.
                                                                             11

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.                                                                   12

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 September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately  $16.8 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 September 30, 1997, the Company had a $36 million line of credit (the "Line")
convertible  in June 1999 to a term note and  approximately  $31.9  million  was
available for  borrowing.  Loans made under the Line are secured by mortgages on
31 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 September 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  40-room Inns in Jasper and  Sylacauga,  Alabama;  Macon and Perry,
Georgia;  Asheboro, Dunn, Smithfield and Wilson, North Carolina; Boiling Springs
and Duncan, South Carolina; and Clinton,  Tennessee;  and 60-room Inns in Warner
Robins, Georgia and Johnson City, Tennessee. The expected construction price for
the Inns currently under construction is $18.8 million,  of which  approximately
$8 million  had been  expended at  September  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.





                                                                             13

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. Effective September 12,
1997, the Operator is wholly owned by Thomas W. Kitchin, Chairman, President and
Chief Executive  Officer of the Company.  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

                                                                             15
<PAGE>
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. 16
