                              JAMESON INNS, INC.
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

1.  Business and Basis of Financial Statements

Jameson Inns, Inc. 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/." We also own Inns in the Midwest operating under
the name "Signature Inn/R/" as a result of the acquisition of Signature Inns,
Inc. in May 1999.

At June 30, 2000, we had a total of 111 Jameson Inns either in operation or
under development, including 92 operating Jameson Inns (4,544 available rooms),
17 Inns under development, and contracts to acquire 2 parcels of land on which
additional Inns are expected to be constructed.  In addition, we own 26
operating Signature Inns (3,051 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, 1999
has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that
date.  Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000, 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, 1999.

2.  Merger with Signature Inns, Inc.

On May 7, 1999, we completed our merger with Signature Inns, Inc.  In the
merger, we acquired 25 Signature Inns located in six midwestern states and a 40%
interest in a partnership, which owned one Signature Inn.  In December 1999, we
acquired the remaining partnership interest in this partnership and took direct
ownership of the hotel.

Immediately prior to the merger, the Signature operating assets were sold to,
and the liabilities pertaining to the operations of the Signature Inns were
assumed by Jameson Hospitality, LLC.  During 1999, we entered into a new master
lease with Jameson Hospitality covering the Signature Inns, with terms similar
to the terms of the master leases covering the Jameson Inns.

We accounted for the merger of Signature as a purchase.  Accordingly, our
historical results include the effects of the merger beginning May 8, 1999.

5.  Sale of Hotel Property

On February 29, 2000 we sold the Inn located in Clinton, Tennessee resulting in
a loss of approximately $33,000.

6.  Property and Equipment Held For Sale

Two operating Signature Inns and various outlots are currently held for sale.
We do not expect the sales of these properties to result in a significant gain
or loss.

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.

Our primary source of revenue is rent payments by Jameson Hospitality, LLC
("Jameson Hospitality") under master leases (the "Leases") covering all of the
Jameson Inns and Signature Inns in operation. Our expenses consist of property
taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt and depreciation
of the Inns.

The Leases provide for the payment of base rent and percentage rent. For the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, we earned base rent and percentage
rent in the aggregate amount of $11.7 million and $20.7 million, respectively.
The principal determinant of percentage rent is Jameson Hospitality's Room
Revenues from the Inns, as defined by the Leases. 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 revenue
from the Leases.

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, 2000 to the Three Months Ended
June 30, 1999.

Our revenue from the Leases for the three month period ended June 30, 2000,
increased 25.8% to $11.7 million as compared to $9.3 million for the same period
in 1999.  The increase was due to the increase in Jameson Hospitality's Room
Revenues, which was primarily a result of the following factors:

 .  The total number of room nights available increased from 533,984 in 1999 to
   687,810 in 2000, or 28.8%, due to the opening from January 1, 1999 through
   June 30, 2000, of 13 new Jameson Inns (720 total additional rooms), the
   expansion of 12 existing Jameson Inns (adding 237 rooms) and the operations
   of the Signature Inns from May 7, 1999, offset partially by the sale of two
   Jameson Inns, Milledgeville, Georgia (100 rooms) in July 1999 and Clinton,
   Tennessee (40 rooms) in February 2000.

 .  All Inns ADR increased 5.7% from $55.62 in the second quarter of 1999 to
   $58.77 in the same period in 2000.

                                       9
<PAGE>

 .  All inns occupancy decreased from 65.6% during the second quarter of 1999 to
   62.5% during the second quarter of 2000 due primarily to additional
   competition in certain markets in which our hotels are located.

As a result of these factors, Jameson Hospitality's second quarter Room Revenues
rose from $20.0 million to $26.0 million in the second quarter of 2000.  Same
Inn Room Revenues for Jameson Inns amounted to $12.6 million in both the second
quarters of 2000 and 1999.  The same Inns experienced an increase in ADR from
$52.88 to $54.36 offset by a decrease in occupancy from 65.9% to 64.2% for the
second quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

Property taxes and insurance expense totaled $1,079,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 2000, compared with $860,000 for the same period in 1999.
The increase is attributable to the increase in number of Inns as a result of
the Signature acquisition and to the construction and expansion of Jameson Inns.

Depreciation expense increased from $2,205,000 to $3,523,000 for the three month
periods ended June 30, 2000 compared to 1999 due primarily to the Signature
acquisition and to an increase in the number of operating Jameson Inns and the
expansion of existing Jameson Inns.

General and administrative expense includes overhead charges for management,
accounting and legal services provided by the corporate home office and,
effective April 2, 1999, ground leases and other expenses related to our
ownership of billboards.  General and administrative expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, was $312,000, as compared to $318,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 due to less time spent in 2000 by shared employees on
our business matters as compared to Jameson Hospitality's and other related
entities' business matters.

Interest expense increased from $2,013,000 for the three-month period ended June
30, 1999, to $3,551,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2000, due to interest
rate increases and greater amounts of average principal indebtedness outstanding
during the second quarter of 2000 as a result of our assumption of $67.1 million
of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the Signature acquisition and
increased indebtedness related to the development of new Jameson Inns.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 to the Six Months Ended June
30, 1999.

Our revenue from the Leases for the six month period ended June 30, 2000,
increased 46.5% to $20.8 million as compared to $14.2 million for the same
period in 1999.  The increase was due to the increase in Jameson Hospitality's
Room Revenues, which was primarily a result of the following factors:

 .  The total number of room nights available increased from 883,416 in 1999 to
   1,353,177 in 2000, or 53.1%, due to the opening from January 1, 1999 through
   June 30, 2000, of 13 new Jameson Inns (720 total additional rooms), and the
   expansion of 12 existing Jameson Inns (237 total additional rooms), and the
   operations of the Signature Inns from May 7, 1999, offset partially by the
   sale of two Jameson Inns, Milledgeville, Georgia (100 rooms) in July 1999 and
   Clinton, Tennessee (40 rooms) in February 2000.

 .  All Inns ADR increased 10.6% from $54.38 in the first half of 1999 to $58.09
   in the same period in 2000.

 .  All inns occupancy decreased from 62.1% during the first six months of 1999
   to 57.9% during the first six months of 2000 due primarily to additional
   competition in certain markets.

As a result of these factors, Jameson Hospitality's Room Revenues rose from
$30.7 million for the first six months of 1999 to $46.9 million in the first six
months of 2000.  Same Inn Room Revenues for the Jameson Inns amounted to $22.5
million in both the first six months of 2000 and 1999.  The same Inns
experienced an increase in ADR from $52.53 to $53.81 offset by a decrease in
occupancy from 62.1% to 60.2% for the first half of 2000 compared to the same
period in 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Property taxes and insurance expense totaled $2,063,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 2000, compared with $1,245,000 for the same period in 1999.  The
increase is attributable to the increase in number of Inns, as a result of the
Signature acquisition and to the construction and expansion of Jameson Inns.

Depreciation expense increased from $3,906,000 to $6,881,000 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2000 compared to 1999 due primarily to the Signature
acquisition and to an increase in the number of operating Jameson Inns and the
expansion of existing Jameson Inns.

General and administrative expense includes overhead charges for management,
accounting and legal services provided by the corporate home office and
effective April 2, 1999 ground leases and other expenses related to our
ownership of billboards.  General and administrative expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 was $692,000, as compared to $446,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  The increase was due to more time spent primarily in the
first quarter of 2000 by shared employees on our business matters as compared to
those of Jameson Hospitality and other related entities' and our acquisition of
the billboard assets of Jameson Hospitality in April of 1999.

Interest expense increased from $2,925,000 for the six-month period ended June
30, 1999, to $6,565,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2000, due to interest
rate increases and greater amounts of average principal indebtedness outstanding
during the first six months of 2000 as a result of our assumption of $67.1
million of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the Signature acquisition
and increased indebtedness related to the development of new Jameson Inns.

Funds from Operations

The following table illustrates the calculation of funds from operations ("FFO")
on a historical basis.  In March 1995, NAREIT published a new interpretation of
funds from operations, which we retroactively adopted at that time.

In October 1999, NAREIT issued additional clarification effective as of January
1, 2000 stipulating that FFO should include both recurring and non-recurring
operating results.  Consistent with this clarification, non-recurring items that
are not defined as "extraordinary" under GAAP will be reflected in the
calculation of FFO.  Gains and losses from the sale of operating property will
continue to be excluded from the calculation of FFO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to continue to develop additional Jameson Inns and Signature Inns and
to expand Jameson Inns, as suitable opportunities arise.  We will not undertake
such investments, however, unless adequate sources of financing are available.
Since our election to be taxed as a REIT, we have financed construction of new
Inns and currently intend to continue financing the construction of new Inns
entirely with bank borrowings.  We believe we can continue to finance new Inns
and expansions with construction and long-term mortgage loans.  At June 30, 2000
we had approximately $192 million in outstanding debt.  At that date, we had one
Signature Inn, which was debt free and could be used as collateral if we need
additional borrowing capacity.

We have  $10.0 million available for borrowing under lines of credit (the
"Line") with some convertible notes beginning in 2000.  At June 30, 2000, $1.0
million had been drawn down under the Line, with $9.0 million remaining
available credit.  Loans made under the Line bear interest at rates initially
ranging from 8.5% to 9.0%, which are adjustable annually to a spread over the
prime rate plus 0.25% to .50% points.  The minimum annual interest rate payable
is 7% and the maximum is 13%.   The annual interest rates at June 30, 2000,
ranged from 8.125% to 8.5%.  Loans made under the Line are secured by mortgages
on nine of the Jameson Inns.   Payments of interest are due monthly and monthly
payments of principal and interest commence at various dates.  Principal for
each term loan under the Line is amortized using a 15- or 20-year period and is
payable in full at various dates through 2007.  We use the Line to purchase land
and supplement the financing of construction costs, and for certain other
operating needs, including the payment of dividends and other operating
expenses.

In December 1999 and January 2000, we refinanced indebtedness secured by four
Signature Inns by issuance of adjustable rate economic development revenue
refunding bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $12,115,000.  The bonds
mature on December 1, 2016, subject to prior optional and mandatory redemption,
and are subject to mandatory purchase under certain conditions.  The interest
rates on the bonds adjust weekly and were 5.0% at June 30, 2000.

Historically, we have utilized construction and long term mortgage financing to
fund the balance of construction costs of Inns not funded under the Line.  For
each new Jameson Inn to be built, we generally obtain a construction loan of
$1.1 to $2.8 million depending on the size and location of the Inn to be built.
After an 18-month interest-only period, each construction loan automatically
converts to a long-term mortgage financing upon completion of the Inn with a 15-
or 20-year amortization period and is payable in full seven years from
inception.  The interest rate on each of the loans adjusts annually to rates
ranging from the prevailing prime rate plus 0.125% to prime plus 0.375%.  As of
June 30, 2000, the construction loans are secured by mortgages on 17 of the
Jameson Inns under construction.

As of June 30, 2000, we had a total of 17 Jameson Inns under construction with
total remaining construction costs, excluding land and closing costs, expected
to total $40.7 million when the projects are complete.  For these



                                       12
<PAGE>

properties, the Company had obtained commitments for construction loans totaling
$38.5 million, with remaining availability of $30.4 million at June 30, 2000. To
fund the completion of the properties under construction we will use the
remaining availability under the construction loans, availability on the Line of
$9.0 million, proceeds from the financing of the unencumbered Inn and proceeds
from the refinancing of Inns with increased borrowing capacity.

In January 1997, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the
SEC to register shares of our common and preferred stock for potential sale to
the public in order to provide additional financing.  In September 1999, we
filed a post-effective amendment to that registration statement to permit us to
sell up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices
through our designated sales agent.  During 1999, we sold a total of 61,100
shares of common stock at-the-market resulting in approximately $493,000 in net
proceeds, which we used to repay indebtedness and for general corporate
purposes.  Through June 30, 2000 we made no additional sales through this shelf
registration.  We intend to use additional net proceeds, if any, from any sale
of securities under that registration statement for the repayment of existing
indebtedness, working capital and general corporate purposes.

In August 2000, we announced a share repurchase program of up to $10 million of
our outstanding stock.  Most of our repurchases will probably be for shares of
our preferred stock, but they may include our common stock as well.

Since we presently intend to rely primarily on borrowings for construction and
permanent financing of new Jameson Inns and Signature Inns and for the expansion
of existing Jameson Inns, the lack of sufficient financing on favorable terms
and conditions could prevent or significantly deter Jameson from constructing
new Inns or expanding existing Inns.  The availability of such financing depends
on a number of factors over which we have no control, including general economic
conditions, the economic and competitive environments of the communities in
which our Inns are located and the level and stability of long term interest
rates.  We are also considering possible additional long-term debt or equity
financing that would be available to fund our ongoing development activities.

As with most real estate environments, investments in Inns are relatively
illiquid and this illiquidity is further increased by the location of many of
our Inns in small communities.  As a result, our ability to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Inn to provide liquidity will be very limited.

We have four stock incentive plans in place.  As of June 30, 2000, 650,847
shares of our common stock were reserved for the future stock options and
restricted stock grants.  Previously issued options to purchase 919,471 shares
of our common stock were outstanding (including 455,171 which were exercisable).
As of June 30, 2000, 412,370 shares of our common stock issued to certain key
employees of Jameson and Jameson Hospitality are restricted as to sale until
fully vested beginning in 2006 through 2010.

Forward-Looking Statements

There are a number of statements in this report which address activities, events
or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future,
including such things as our 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 we have made in the light of our experience
and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the
circumstances.  However, whether actual results and developments will conform to
our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including (1) our ability to (a) secure construction and
permanent financing to finance such development on terms and conditions
favorable to us, (b) assess accurately the market demand for new Inns and
expansions of existing Inns, (c) identify and purchase new sites which meet our
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 our present quality and standards at a reasonable
cost and without significant delays, (e) provide ongoing renovation and
refurbishment of the Inns sufficient to maintain consistent quality among the
Inns, and (f) manage our business in a cost-effective manner given the increase
in the number of Inns; (2) Jameson Hospitality's willingness and ability to
manage the Inns profitably; (3) general economic, market and business
conditions,



                                       13
<PAGE>

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 us; (5) the availability of
qualified managers and employees necessary for our planned growth; (6) changes
in laws or regulations and (7) other factors, most of which are beyond our
control. 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 of developments which we anticipate will be realized, or even
if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or
effects on us or our business or operations.

The Lessee - Jameson Hospitality, LLC

We seek to enhance Lease revenue by working in a collaborative manner with
Jameson Hospitality, lessee of the Jameson and Signature Inns.  Jameson
Hospitality is wholly-owned by Thomas W. Kitchin, chairman and chief executive
officer, and other members of his family.

Presently, Jameson Hospitality also has an exclusive relationship with us in
that Jameson Hospitality does not manage any hotel properties other than the
Inns.  We believe this exclusive relationship ensures that our and Jameson
Hospitality's interests are well aligned. While we do not control the operations
of JH or the day-to-day operation of the Inns, the two companies work together
to enhance both occupancy and ADR.  The Leases' rent formula allows us to
benefit from increases in Room Revenues, regardless of the mix between occupancy
and ADR.

The following table summarizes the unaudited financial results of JH including
the operating results of the Signature Inns beginning May 8, 1999.
