The properties were purchased from Dallas Lodging Associates, Inc., A.B.
Lodging Associates, Inc., London Lodging Associates and Duncanville Lodging
Associates, Ltd., respectively, parties unrelated to the Company.  The Company
also purchased land parcels adjacent to two of these hotels for possible
expansion for $0.6 million.  The purchase prices were financed in part with
borrowings under the Company's existing $50 million line of credit with
Wachovia Bank of North Carolina and with $17 million of borrowings under a new
interim unsecured line of credit from Wachovia Bank of North Carolina.
Contemporaneous with the purchases, the Company leased the properties to
Winston Hospitality, Inc.  pursuant to percentage leases.  Impac Hotel Group,
Inc. will continue to manage the Holiday Inn Select hotel under a separate
management agreement with Winston Hospitality, Inc.   The properties will
continue to be operated as hotel properties.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Winston Hotels, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Impac
Acquisition Hotels (described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1995, and the
related combined statements of income, equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of the Impac Acquisition Hotels. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 the Impac Acquisition Hotels
as of December 31, 1995 and the combined results of their operations and their
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

     The Companies have entered into contracts to sell their investment in hotel

other assets or liabilities of the Companies.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Cash Equivalents.  All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
     Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  Statement of Financial Accounting No.
107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires the
Companies to disclose estimated fair values of its financial instruments. The
Companies' financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, long-term
debt, notes receivable from affiliates, and notes payable to affiliates, whose
carrying value approximates fair value. The Companies' remaining assets and
liabilities are not considered financial instruments.
 
     Concentration of Credit Risk.  The Companies place cash deposits with
federally insured financial institutions. At times, deposits have exceeded the
amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition,
amounts due from affiliates represent concentrations of credit risk.
 
     Revenue Recognition.  Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit
evaluations are performed and accounts deemed uncollectible are charged to
operations.
 
     Investment in Hotel Properties.  The hotel properties are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods at rates
based upon the following estimated useful lives:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Additions
and major improvements are capitalized. Upon sale or disposition, both the asset
and related accumulated depreciation are relieved and the related gain or loss
is included in operations.
 
     The Company evaluates long-lived assets for potential impairment by
analyzing the operating results, trends and prospects for the Company and
considering any other events and circumstances which might indicate potential
impairment.
 
     Advertising Costs.  Advertising costs of $497 were expensed as incurred.
 
     Deferred Expenses.  Deferred expenses consist primarily of franchise fees
and loan costs which are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed using the
straight-line method over the terms of the franchise and loan agreements.
 
     Income Taxes.  Each of the four companies are not tax paying entities for
income tax purposes, and thus no income tax expense has been recorded in the
combined financial statements. Income or loss is taxed to the owners in their
individual income tax returns.
 
     Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.  The
preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1995 and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year ended December 31,
1995. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
