                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
of FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc.

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements and
the financial statement schedule of FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. listed in Item
14(a) of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company'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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be
included therein.

         The Company leases all of the Hotels to DJONT Operations, L.L.C. or a
consolidated subsidiary thereof (collectively the "Lessee") under operating
leases providing for the payment of percentage rent (the "Percentage Leases").
Hervey A. Feldman and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., the Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, respectively, beneficially
own a 50% voting equity interest in the Lessee. The remaining 50% non-voting
equity interest is beneficially owned by the children of Charles N. Mathewson, a
director of and major initial investor in the Company. The Lessee has entered
into management agreements pursuant to which, at December 31, 1997, 63 of the
Hotels were managed by subsidiaries of Promus Hotel Corporation ("Promus"),
seven of the Hotels are managed by subsidiaries of ITT Sheraton Corporation
("Sheraton"), and three of the Hotels are managed by two independent management
companies.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of FelCor, the Operating Partnership and its consolidated
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

         Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the 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.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 107 requires all entities to disclose the fair
value of certain financial instruments in their financial statements.
Accordingly, the Company reports the carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents, amounts due from the Lessee, accounts payable and accrued

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)

expenses at cost which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of
these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company's borrowings approximates
fair value due to the Company's ability to obtain such borrowings at comparable
interest rates.

         Investment in Hotels -- Hotels are stated at cost and are depreciated
using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 31-40
years for buildings and improvements and 5 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures
and equipment.

         The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of each Hotel to
determine if circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value
of the investment in the hotel or that depreciation periods should be modified.
If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company
will prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without
interest charges, of the specific hotel and determine if the investment in such
hotel is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment
is indicated, an adjustment will be made to the carrying value of the hotel
based on discounted future cash flows. The Company does not believe that there
are any factors or circumstances indicating impairment of any of its investment
in Hotels.

         Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and the related gain or loss is included in operations.

         Investment in Unconsolidated Entities --The Company owns a 50% interest
in various partnerships or limited liability companies in which the partners
jointly make all material decisions concerning the business affairs and
operations. Accordingly, the Company does not control the entities and carries
its investment in unconsolidated entities at cost, plus its equity in net
earnings, less distributions received since the date of acquisition. Equity in
net earnings is being adjusted for the straight-line amortization, over a 40
year period, of the difference between the Company's cost and its proportionate
share of the underlying net assets at date of acquisition.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents -- All highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash
equivalents.

         Deferred Expenses -- Deferred expenses are recorded at cost and consist
of the following at December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

         Amortization of organization costs is computed using the straight-line
method over three to five years. Amortization of deferred financing fees is
computed using the interest method over the maturity of the notes.

         Revenue Recognition -- Percentage lease revenue is recognized when
earned from the Lessee under the Percentage Lease agreements. The Lessee is in
compliance with its obligations under the Percentage Leases.

         Net Income Per Common Share -- The Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" in the fourth
quarter of 1997, which established new standards for computing and presenting

earnings per share and requires restatement of prior years' comparative amounts.
Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

         Diluted earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding. Common
stock equivalents represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock
options.

         Net income applicable to common shareholders before extraordinary
charges for both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
includes a deduction for preferred dividends of $11.8 million and $7.7 million
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively. Weighted average
common shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share
includes the dilutive effect of employee stock options and unvested officer
restricted stock grants of 341 thousand, 195 thousand and 62 thousand shares at
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively.

         At December 31, 1997 and 1996 the Company's convertible preferred stock
if converted to common shares would be anti-dilutive, accordingly the
convertible preferred stock is not assumed to be converted in the computation of
diluted earnings per share.

         Distributions and Dividends -- The Company pays regular quarterly
distributions on its common stock which are dependent on receipt of quarterly
distributions from the Operating Partnership to FelCor and the limited partners
in the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the Company pays regular quarterly
dividends on preferred stock in accordance with its preferred stock dividend
requirements.

         Minority Interest in Operating Partnership -- Minority interest in the
Operating Partnership represents the limited partners' proportionate share of
the equity in the Operating Partnership. Income is allocated to minority
interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the year.

         Stock Based Compensation Plans -- The Company applies APB Opinion No.
25 and related interpretations in its accounting for stock based compensation
plans. Accordingly the Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation."

         Income Taxes -- The Company is qualified as a REIT under Sections 856
to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal
income taxes has been reflected in the financial statements.

         Earnings and profits, which will determine the taxability of
distributions to shareholders, will differ from income reported for financial
reporting purposes primarily due to the differences for federal income tax
purposes in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.
Distributions made in 1997 and 1996 represent approximately a 6.0% and 11.5%
return of capital, respectively, for federal income tax purposes.

yield 7.74%. The discount on the $300 million senior notes accrete using the
interest method over the maturity of the notes.

         The Company has an unsecured line of credit facility ("Line of Credit")
of up to $550 million which matures on October 1, 2000. Interest payable on
borrowings under the Line of Credit is variable, determined from a ratings and
leverage-based pricing matrix, and is currently set at LIBOR (5.71875% at
December 31, 1997) plus 140 basis points. Additionally, the Company is required
to pay an unused commitment fee which is variable, determined from a ratings
based pricing matrix, currently set at 20 basis points. The Company paid unused
commitment fees of approximately $560,000 and $164,000 during 1997 and 1996,
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company paid
interest on its Line of Credit at the weighted average interest rate of 7.6% and
7.4%, respectively. Up to 10% of the amount available under the Line of Credit
may be used for general corporate or working capital purposes. The total amount
available under the Line of Credit is limited to 50% of the aggregate value of
the Company's eligible hotels, which generally includes hotels that are
unencumbered. At December 31, 1997, the aggregate amount borrowed under the Line
of Credit was $136 million. Assuming the Company purchases qualifying hotel
assets, it would have up to an additional $414 million available under the
existing Line of Credit. The agreements governing the Line of Credit also
contain various negative and affirmative covenants, including limitations on
total indebtedness, total secured indebtedness and cash distributions, as well
as obligations to maintain a certain minimum tangible net worth and certain
interest and debt service coverage ratios. At December 31, 1997, the Company was
in compliance with all such covenants.

         The Company has a $25 million loan facility ("Renovation Loan") which
is guaranteed by Promus, bears interest at LIBOR plus 45 basis points, requires
monthly interest payments, and quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million
beginning June 1999 and matures in June 2000. The weighted average interest rate
for 1997 and 1996 was 6.4% and 6.1%, respectively.

         On December 4, 1997, the Company assumed an existing collateralized
mortgage note when it acquired the Dayton, Ohio Doubletree Guest Suites hotel.
The mortgage note bears interest at 10.22 % per annum, requires monthly
installment payments and matures on March 31, 2003. The outstanding principal
balance at December 31, 1997 was approximately $5.9 million. The note prohibits
any prepayment of the outstanding principal before May 1, 1998 upon which there
is a prepayment penalty fee of at least 1% of the then outstanding principal
balance.

         Under its loan agreements, the Company is required to satisfy various
affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants at December 31, 1997.

         The differences to be paid or received by the Company under the terms
of the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the Company pursuant to the
terms of its interest rate agreement and will have a corresponding effect on its
future cash flows. Agreements such as these contain a credit risk that the
counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company
minimizes that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties,
which is limited to major banks and financial institutions, and does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

         The Percentage Lease revenue is based on a percentage of suite
revenues, food and beverage revenues, and food and beverage rents of the Hotels.
Both the base rent and the threshold suite revenue in each lease computation are
subject to adjustments for changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The
adjustment is calculated at the beginning of each calendar year, for the hotels
acquired prior to July of the previous year. The adjustment in any lease year
may not exceed 7%. The CPI adjustments made in January 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
0.50%, 1.42% and 0.73% respectively.

         Under the Percentage Leases, the Operating Partnership is obligated to
pay the costs of real estate and personal property taxes, property insurance,
maintenance of underground utilities and structural elements of the Hotels, and
to set aside 4% of suite revenues per month, on a cumulative basis, to fund
capital expenditures for the periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture,
fixtures and equipment required for the retention of the franchise licenses with
respect to the Hotels. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31,
1997 and 1996 were cash balances held by the Hotel managers for these capital
expenditures of $7.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. In addition, the
Company will incur certain additional capital expenditures in connection with
the conversion and upgrade of acquired hotels, which may be funded from cash on
hand or borrowings under its Line of Credit.

         The Company shares the executive offices and certain employees with
FelCor, Inc. and the Lessee, and each company bears its share of the costs
thereof, including an allocated portion of the rent, compensation of certain
personnel (other than Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, whose compensation is borne
solely by the Company), office supplies, telephones and depreciation of office
furniture, fixtures and equipment. Any such allocation of shared expenses to the
Company must be approved by a majority of the independent directors. During
1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company paid approximately $1.3 million (approximately
38%), $807,000 (approximately 38%) and $387,000 (approximately 38%),
respectively, of the allocable expenses under this agreement.

         The Company has entered into employment contracts with Messrs. Feldman
and Corcoran, that will continue in effect until December 31, 1999 and, unless
terminated, will be automatically renewed for successive one year terms. Each
was paid a base salary of $10,000 per month in 1995 and $10,270 per month in
1996 and in 1997 Mr. Feldman received $12,500 per month and Mr. Corcoran
received $16,667 per month. Effective January 1, 1998, Mr. Feldman is to receive
$12,500 per month and Mr. Corcoran is to receive $20,833 per month.
Additionally, the Company is required to maintain a comprehensive medical plan
for such persons.

Orlando (North), Florida hotel at an aggregate projected cost of $10.2 million
(of which $7.4 million had been spent as of December 31, 1997) with an expected
completion in early 1998.

         Approximately $24.7 million, $16.1 million, and $3.8 million of
aggregate preferred stock dividends and common stock distributions had been
declared as of December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. These amounts
were paid in January following each year.

10.  STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

         The Company sponsors two restricted stock and stock option plans, (the
"Plans"). The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for the Plans. In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued FASB Statement No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
("SFAS 123") which, if fully adopted by the Company, would change the methods
the Company applies in recognizing the cost of the Plans. Adoption of the cost
recognition provisions of SFAS 123 is optional and the Company has decided not
to adopt these provisions of SFAS 123. However, pro forma disclosures as if the
Company adopted the cost recognition provisions of SFAS 123 are required by SFAS
123 and are presented below.

12.  PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)

         As discussed in Note 1, the Company completed acquisitions of
interests in 23 hotels during 1996 and 30 hotels during 1997 for aggregate
purchase prices of $540.3 million and $658.4 million respectively. The
acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method and the results
of operations for the hotels acquired are included in the Company's historical
Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. As such, the historical
results of operations may not be indicative of future results of operations and
net income per common share.

         The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands, except per share
data) are presented as if the acquisitions of all 73 hotels owned at December
31, 1997, the private placement of $300 million of senior unsecured notes and
the consummation of the 1997 and 1996 public offerings and the application of
the net proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of the respective
periods presented, and all of the hotels had been leased to the Lessee pursuant
to the Percentage Leases. Such pro forma information is based in part upon the
Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company and pro forma Statements of
Operations of the Lessee. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to
reflect the effects of these transactions have been made.

         The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of what actual results
of operations of the Company would have been assuming such transactions had been
completed at the beginning of the respective periods presented, nor does it
purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

13.  RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income
("SFAS130") and No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("SFAS 131"), both of which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997.

         SFAS 130 specifies the presentation and disclosure requirements for
reporting comprehensive income which includes those items which have been
formerly reported as a component of shareholders' equity. SFAS 131 establishes
the disclosure requirements for reporting segment information. The Company
believes that the adoption of SFAS 130 and 131 will not have a material impact
on previously reported financial statements.

14.  Subsequent Events

         On January 15, 1998 the Company announced the closing of $114 million
of fixed rate nonrecourse secured debt associated with nine Embassy Suites
hotels in which the Company and Promus each own a 50% unconsolidated interest.
The new debt carries a coupon of 6.988%, matures in ten years and amortizes over
25 years. The proceeds were used to repay higher interest rate debt associated
with unconsolidated entities jointly owned with Promus and to repay other
corporate debt.

         On February 12, 1998, the Company announced an exchange offer for the
73/8% Senior Notes due 2004 and 75/8% Senior Notes due 2007 issued and sold on
October 1, 1997 in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and accordingly are subject to certain
restrictions upon transfer. The new notes offered in exchange for these notes
are identical in amount and terms, except the new notes have been registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement declared effective
on February 10, 1998.

         On February 17, 1998, the Company filed a $1 billion omnibus shelf
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This registration
statement will enable the Company to provide offerings from time to time up to
an additional $1 billion in securities, which may include debt securities,
preferred stock, depository shares, common stock and/or common stock warrants.

         On February 17, 1998, the Company announced the acquisition of the
194-suite Doubletree Guest Suites hotel in Columbus, Ohio. The purchase price
includes $14.1 million in cash and approximately 134,000 Units each valued at
$37.06. The hotel is managed by a wholly owned subsidiary of Promus.

15.  QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

         The Company's unaudited consolidated quarterly operating data for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 follows (in thousands, except per share
data). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly results have
been reflected in the data. It is also management's opinion, however, that
quarterly operating data for hotel enterprises are not indicative of results to
be achieved in succeeding quarters or years. In order to obtain a more accurate
indication of performance, there should be a review of operating results,
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for a period of several years.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc.

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DJONT
Operations, L.L.C. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company'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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DJONT
Operations, L.L.C. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  ORGANIZATION

         Hervey A. Feldman and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr. who serve as directors
and officers of FelCor Suite Hotels, Inc. (the "Company") and as managers and
officers of DJONT Operations, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("DJONT"), own all of the voting Class A membership interest in DJONT
(representing a 50% equity interest). All of the non-voting Class B membership
interest in DJONT (representing the remaining 50% equity interest) is owned by
RGC Leasing, Inc., a Nevada corporation owned by the children of Mr. Charles N.
Mathewson, a director of the Company. Each of the 73 hotels in which FelCor
Suites Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") had an ownership
interest at December 31, 1997 (the "Hotels"), is leased to DJONT or a
consolidated subsidiary thereof ("collectively, the "Lessee") pursuant to
percentage leases ("Percentage Leases"). Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran and the
managers of certain of the Hotels have agreed, directly or through their
affiliates, to make loans to the Lessee of up to an aggregate of approximately
$16.0 million, to the extent necessary to enable the Lessee to pay rent and
other obligations due under the respective Percentage Leases relating to a total
of 34 of the Hotels. Amounts so borrowed by the Lessee, if any, will be
subordinate in right of repayment to the prior payment in full of rent and other
obligations due under the Percentage Leases relating to such Hotels. No loans
were outstanding under such agreements at December 31, 1997.

         Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran have entered into an agreement with the
Company pursuant to which they have agreed that through April 15, 2005, any
distributions received by them from DJONT (in excess of their tax liabilities
with respect to the income of DJONT) will be utilized to purchase common stock
from the Company or units of limited partner interest in the Operating
Partnership at then current market prices. The agreement stipulates that Messrs.
Feldman and Corcoran are restricted from selling any stock or units so acquired
for a period of two years from the date of purchase. RGC Leasing, Inc., which
owns the other 50% of DJONT, may elect to purchase common stock of the Company
or Operating Partnership units upon similar terms, at its option. The
independent directors of the Company may suspend or terminate such agreement at
any time.

         Fifty-two of the Hotels are operated as Embassy Suites(R) hotels (of
which 28 were converted from other brands), 13 are operated as Doubletree Guest
Suites(R) hotels, seven are operated as Sheraton(R) hotels (five of which are
upscale, full-service traditional non-suite hotels) and one is operated as a
Hilton Suites(R) hotel. Sixty-three of the Hotels are managed by subsidiaries of
Promus Hotel Corporation ("Promus") which, following the recent merger of Promus
with Doubletree Corporation, include Doubletree Hotels Corporation and its
subsidiaries ("Doubletree"). Promus is the largest operator of all-suite,
full-service hotels in the United States. Of the remaining Hotels, seven are
managed by a subsidiary of ITT Sheraton Corporation ("Sheraton") and three are
managed by independent management companies.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 107 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of
certain financial instruments in their financial statements. Accordingly, the
Lessee reports the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
payable and accrued expenses at cost which approximates fair value due to the
short maturity of these instruments.

         Cash Equivalents -- All highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

         Inventories -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.

         Revenue Recognition -- Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit
evaluations are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is
provided against the portion of accounts receivable which is estimated to be
uncollectible. Such losses have been within management's expectations.

         Income Taxes -- The Lessee is a limited liability company which is
taxed for federal income taxes purposes as a limited partnership and,
accordingly, all taxable income or loss flows through to the shareholders.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)

         Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principals 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.

3.  ACCUMULATED DEFICIT

         During 1997 and 1996, the Lessee incurred net losses of approximately
$2.7 million and $5.4 million and at December 31, 1997 a cumulative
shareholders' deficit of approximately $9.1 million. Management's analyses
indicate that a significant portion of such losses are attributable to the
one-time costs of converting the Crown Sterling Suites(R) hotels to Embassy
Suites and Doubletree Guest Suites, and operations of hotels during periods of
substantial renovation. Such renovations are required under the terms of the
related franchise agreements. In accordance with the terms of the Percentage
Leases, although a portion of the suites are not available for guests to rent,
the Lessee is required to pay the full required lease payment. In addition,
during periods of renovation, management believes, and operating data indicates,
that overall the performances of the hotels is impacted as evidenced by improved
operating performances immediately following completion of renovations.
Management is exploring several options to anticipate negative operating cash
flow during renovations, including potential changes to the terms of leases for
future renovations which might mitigate losses for the Lessee during such
renovation periods.

         At December 31, 1997 the Lessee had paid all amounts then due the
Company under the Percentage Leases. It is anticipated that a substantial
portion of any future profits of the Lessee will be retained until a positive
shareholders' equity is restored. Management anticipates that future earnings
will be sufficient to enable the Lessee to continue to make necessary payments
when due. Management deems the Lessee to be a viable going concern and, as such,
no adjustments are required to the accompanying financial statements.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Lessee has future lease commitments under the Percentage Leases
which expire in 2004 (7 hotels), 2005 (13 hotels), 2006 (23 hotels) and 2007 (30
hotels). Minimum future rental payments are computed based on the base rent as
defined under the noncancellable operating leases and are as follows (in
thousands):

</TABLE>

         The Percentage Lease expense is based on a percentage of suite
revenues, food and beverage revenues and food and beverage rents of the Hotels.
Both the base rent and the threshold suite revenue in each lease computation is
subject to adjustments in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The adjustment is
calculated at the beginning of each calendar year for the hotels acquired prior
to July of the previous year. The adjustment in any lease year may not exceed
7%. The CPI adjustments made in January 1998, 1997 and 1996 are 0.50%, 1.42% and
0.73%, respectively.

         Other than real estate and personal property taxes, casualty insurance,
capital improvements and maintenance of underground utilities and structural
elements, which are obligations of the Partnership, the Percentage Leases
require the Lessee to pay rent, liability insurance premiums, all costs,
expenses, utilities and other charges incurred in the operation of the leased
hotels.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -- (CONTINUED)

         The Lessee is also obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the
Partnership from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by or
asserted against the Partnership in the normal course of operating the Hotels.

         The Lessee is not permitted to sublet all or any substantial part of
the Hotels or assign its interest under any of the Percentage Leases without the
prior written consent of the Partnership.

         The Lessee has agreed that during the term of the Percentage Leases it
will maintain a ratio of total debt to consolidated net worth (as defined in the
Percentage Leases) of less than or equal to 50%, exclusive of capital leases. In
addition, the Lessee has agreed that it will not pay fees to any affiliate of
the Lessee.

         The Lessee typically pays a franchise fee ranging from 4% to 5% of
suite revenue, and marketing and reservation fees ranging from 1% to 3.5% of
suite revenue. In the cases where there is not a separate franchise agreement,
the right to use the brand name is included in the management agreement. Base
management fees typically range from 2% to 3% of applicable hotel revenues.
Incentive management fees are based upon the hotel's net income before overhead
and typically range from 50% to 100% subject to a maximum annual payment of
between 2% and 3% of total revenues. In many cases managers and franchisors have
agreed to subordinate all or a portion of their fees at a specific hotel or
group of hotels either for a set period of time, or until the hotel or group of
hotels provides a predetermined return to the Lessee, or both.

         In the event the Company enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise
transfer a leased hotel, the Company has the right to terminate the Percentage
Lease with respect to such leased hotel upon 90 days' prior written notice upon
either (1) paying the Lessee the fair market value of the Lessee's leasehold
interest in the remaining term of the Percentage Lease to be terminated or (2)
offering to lease to the Lessee a substitute hotel on terms that would create a
leasehold interest in such hotel with a fair market value equal to or exceeding
the fair market value of the Lessee's remaining leasehold interest under the
Percentage Lease to be terminated. The Company also is obligated to pay or
reimburse the Lessee for any assignment fees, termination fees or other
liabilities arising under any franchise license agreement and restaurant
sublease agreements.

         The Company shares the executive offices and certain employees with
FelCor, Inc. and the Lessee, and each company bears its share of the costs
thereof, including an allocated portion of the rent, compensation of certain
personnel (other than Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, whose compensation is borne
solely by the Company), office supplies, telephones and depreciation of office
furniture, fixtures and equipment. Any such allocation of shared expenses to the
Company must be approved by a majority of the independent directors. During
1997, 1996 and 1995, the Lessee paid approximately $2.1 million (approximately
61%), $1.3 million (approximately 61%) and $532,000 (approximately 52%),
respectively, of the allocable expenses under this agreement.

years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands) are presented as if the

the Lessee pursuant to the Percentage Leases from the beginning of the
respective periods presented or to project results for any future period.
