The Registrant hereby amends its Form 8-K of July 13, 1998, to include Item 7,
consisting of the historical financial statements of the acquired company and
pro forma financial information.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On July 1, 1998, the Registrant, through its subsidiary, Sonesta Beach Resort
Limited Partnership ("Purchaser") -- a Delaware limited partnership of which the
Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Sonesta Corporation ("FSC") and
Key Biscayne Land Corporation are the sole general partner with a one percent
(1%) partnership interest, and a limited partner with a 98% partnership
interest, respectively -- acquired from Key Biscayne Limited Partnership
("Seller") its rights, title and interests in and to the real and personal
property known as Sonesta Beach Resort, in Key Biscayne, Florida ("the Resort").
The Seller has a one- percent (1%) limited partnership interest in the
Purchaser.

The Resort is a 300-room, full-service beachfront resort hotel sited on 10 acres
in Key Biscayne, Florida. FSC has continuously operated the hotel under a
management agreement since it sold the property to the Seller in 1984. The
Resort has been operated by Sonesta as a deluxe beach hotel since it opened in
the early 1970's. The Purchaser intends to continue operating the Resort as a
deluxe resort hotel.

The purchase price consisted of FSC's release of the Seller from indebtedness
owed to FSC and/or its affiliates in connection with the Registrant's sale of
the Resort to the Seller, in 1984, and loans advanced by FSC to restore the
Resort following Hurricane Andrew, in 1992. This indebtedness is carried on
Sonesta's books at approximately $10,720,000 at March 31, 1998, and the debt had
matured or otherwise become due and payable at the end of 1997 and/or in early
1998. In addition, the Purchaser assumed a first mortgage loan in the amount of
$22,431,000; interest on this first mortgage loan is payable monthly at 11.78%
per annum until April 1999 when it increases to 12.78% per annum, and matures in
October 2000. No principal payments are due until the maturity date. The
Purchaser has also agreed to pay the Seller additional compensation if it sells
the Resort prior to January 1, 2002.

The transaction was completed pursuant to a pre-packaged bankruptcy. A Joint
Plan of Reorganization was filed by the Seller and FSC in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, on April 23, 1998,
and the Plan was confirmed by the Court on June 25, 1998.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  Years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

Key Biscayne Limited Partnership ("KBLP") is the owner of the Sonesta Beach
Resort, located in Key Biscayne, Florida (the Resort). KBLP purchased the Resort
from Sonesta International Hotels Corporation (Sonesta) in 1984. The Resort is
operated by Florida Sonesta Corporation, a subsidiary of Sonesta, under a
long-term management agreement. Sonesta has provided loans to KBLP both in
connection with the purchase of the Resort in 1984, and in connection with the
restoration and re-opening of the Resort following Hurricane Andrew, which
caused severe damage to the Resort in 1992. The debt to Sonesta matured or
otherwise became payable at the end of 1997 and in early 1998 (see Note 5,
Long-term Debt).

Key Biscayne Hotel Associates, Ltd. and VMS Realty Investment, Ltd., the general
partners of KBLP, hold interests of 98.99% and .91%, respectively. Limited
Partners hold a .1% interest. Partners' deficit balances attributable to the
General and Limited Partners are as follows:

            1996                           (739,393)            (740)

Deficit at December 31,
            1997                         (31,908,272)         (46,286)
            1996                         (30,815,294)         (45,191)
</TABLE>

Subsequent Events

A Joint Plan of Reorganization was filed by KBLP and Florida Sonesta Corporation
in the U.S. Bankruptcy court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami
Division, in April 1998. The Plan was confirmed by the Court on June 25, 1998.
Under the Plan, Sonesta Beach Resort Limited Partnership (SBRLP), in which KBLP
has a one percent limited partnership interest, acquired all real and personal
property of the Resort. FSC and Key Biscayne Land Corporation, both


                                       7
<PAGE>

subsidiaries of Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, are the sole general
partner and a limited partner of SBRLP, with a 1% and 98% partnership interest,
respectively. This transaction was completed on July 1, 1998. FSC and affiliates
of KBLP released KBLP from its indebtedness in connection with the Resort (see 
Note 5 (b), 5 (c) and 5 (d), Long-Term debt). SBRLP assumed the first mortgage 
note (see Note 5 (a)), and assumed the indebtedness to FSC and extended its
maturity on a long-term basis.

Merchandise and supplies

Merchandise and supplies are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out)
or market.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising

The cost of advertising is generally expensed as incurred.

Revenues

Revenues are generally recognized as services are provided.

Property and equipment

Depreciation and amortization of items of property and equipment are computed on
the straight-line method using the following estimated useful lives:

<TABLE>
         <S>                                  <C>
         Buildings and improvements           30 to 40 years

         Furniture and equipment               5 to 10 years
</TABLE>

Beginning in 1997, the cost of operating equipment (chinaware, glassware,
linens, etc.) is charged to expenses in the period during which such equipment
is put in circulation. Previously, the cost of such equipment was amortized over
its useful life. The effect of the change was not deemed to be material to the
Partnerships' financial position or results of operations. Included in furniture
and equipment is the value, at cost, of the operating equipment not in
circulation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term, highly liquid
investments with maturities of less than 91 days, which are readily convertible
into cash.

Income Taxes

No provisions for income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is
the obligation of the partners of KBLP.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT COMPANY

The Resort is operated by Sonesta under a long-term management agreement. For
its services, Sonesta is entitled to a management fee of 3% and a marketing fee
of 1 1/2% of gross revenues of the Resort. Sonesta is also entitled to certain
incentive fees based on net operating income, as defined. No incentive fees were
earned by Sonesta during the periods reflected in these financial statements.
Sonesta also charges the Resort for certain other services, such as purchasing
and design services, and advertising and reservation services.

During 1997, 1996, and 1995, Sonesta's management and marketing fee charges
totaled $1,143,000, $1,033,000 and $986,000 respectively. During 1997, 1996 and
1995, Sonesta's charges also included reservation fees of $55,000, $37,000 and
$41,000, respectively, and fees charged by Sonesta's advertising subsidiary of

Sonesta for design and purchasing services were $90,000, $59,000 and $50,000 in
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

   a) This loan in the original amount of $22,000,000 is secured by a first
      mortgage on the Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne property. By agreement
      certain unpaid interest during 1992 and 1993 was added to the loan, which
      brought the loan to its current balance. The loan requires monthly
      interest payments based on a pay rate of 10.78% until November 1, 1997,
      11.78% from November 1, 1997 until April 1, 1999, and 12.78% from April 1,
      1999 until the maturity date, which is October 1, 2000. The loan accrues
      interest at a rate of 12.78% per annum, and the deferred interest, being
      the difference between the interest at 12.78% and the interest based on
      the aforementioned pay rate, will become payable only in the event that
      the loan is not repaid at maturity. The deferred interest is not recorded
      on the accompanying balance sheets. No principal payments are due during
      the term of the loan.

   b) KBLP received two loans from Sonesta in 1984. The first loan of $5,000,000
      has an interest rate of 14-1/2%, of which 11% is payable in quarterly
      installments, and 3-1/2% is deferred until maturity. This loan matured on
      December 31, 1997. The second loan in the amount of $6,500,000 accrues
      simple interest at a rate of 10% per year. The maturity date of this loan
      is December 31, 2004. No principal payments are due on either of these
      loans until maturity. The maturity of the aforementioned loan of
      $5,000,000, which totaled $11,481,332 including deferred interest on the
      maturity date, caused certain other loans from Sonesta to become due and
      payable.

   c) These loans consist of an assignment note of $2,000,000 which accrues
      interest at 12%, and a loan of $1,317,426 which accrues interest at 10%
      per annum. These notes matured on December 31, 1997. Both loans are
      secured by mortgages on the Resort's property, which are junior to the
      mortgages which secure the loans mentioned in (a) and (b) above. The terms
      and amounts of these notes were amended pursuant to KBLP's plan of
      reorganization (see Note 1).

   d) Sonesta, the operator of the Resort made loans in the original aggregate
      amount of $5,475,000 under five separate agreements during 1993 and 1994.
      These loans earn interest at rates ranging from the prime rate (8-1/2% at
      December 31, 1997) to 14-1/2%. Of these loans, an amount of $2,684,000 and
      interest thereon is secured by a mortgage on the resort's property.
      Principal and interest are payable from available cash flow after payment
      of all resort expenses, including the fees mentioned in notes 2 and 3, and
      after payment of interest on the first mortgage loan in (a) above, and the
      current interest payable on the $5,000,000 mortgage loan in (b) above.

6. PENSION AND BENEFIT PLANS

Pension Plan

Substantially all of the KBLP's employees participate in a non-contributory
defined benefit pension plan (the Plan). Benefits are based on the employee's
years of service and the highest average monthly salary during any 60
consecutive months of employment. KBLP's funding policy is to contribute
annually at least the minimum contribution required by ERISA.

The pension cost for the Plan for the years 1997 and 1996 was computed as
follows:

Savings Plan

The Resort has an employee savings plan (the "Savings Plan") that qualifies as a
deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(K) of the Internal Revenue
Code. The Savings Plan started on August 1, 1996. Under the Savings Plan,
participating employees may defer a portion of their pre-tax earnings up to the
Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. All employees of the Resort
are eligible to participate in the Savings Plan. Participating employees may
choose to invest their contributions in each one of the seven mutual funds,
which include equity funds, balanced funds and a money market fund. The Savings
Plan does not provide for contributions by the Resort.

7. YEAR 2000 (Unaudited)

During 1997, KBLP committed to address issues related to required changes in
computer systems for the year 2000. KBLP expects that by December 31, 1998, all
year 2000 issues will have been addressed, either by programming changes
implemented by third party vendors to purchased systems, or through the
upgrading or purchase of year 2000 compliant hardware and equipment. Extensive
testing is expected in 1998 and 1999. Management believes there is no material
risk that KBLP will fail to address year 2000 issues in a timely manner. KBLP
expects that costs related to the year 2000 issue will not be material.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Sonesta International Hotels Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Key Biscayne Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statements of operations and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Key Biscayne Limited
Partnership at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                           /s/ Ernst & Young LLP

NOTES TO THE PROFORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

   Basis of presentation

   The proforma balance sheet at June 30, 1998 presents the historical balance
   sheet of the Registrant and is adjusted to reflect the acquisition of the
   Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne, assuming this transaction took place on
   June 30, 1998.

   The proforma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
   and for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 present the historical
   statements of income of the Registrant for the year ended December 31, 1997
   and the six month period ended June 30, 1998, both of which are adjusted to
   reflect the acquisition of Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne assuming this
   transaction took place on January 1, 1997 and January 1, 1998, respectively.
   Please note that because of the seasonal nature of the tourist industry in
   Florida, income during the first 6 months of the year is higher than during
   the last 6 months of the year.

   sheet at June 30, 1998:
